EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
--------------------
The parties hereto agree that this Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is
entered to as of June 30, 2003 ("Effective Date") by and between ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Employee") and AMLI Management Company (the "Company"). The
Company, collectively with AMLI Residential Properties Trust, a Maryland
real estate investment trust (the "REIT"), AMLI Residential Properties,
L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), any entity in which the REIT or the
Operating Partnership own no less than 90% of the economic interests
therein, and any successors thereto, are referred to herein collectively as
"AMLI" and individually as an "AMLI entity";
WITNESSETH THAT:
---------------
WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement pertaining to the
continued employment of the Employee by the Company;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set
forth below, it is hereby covenanted and agreed by the Company and the
Employee as follows:
1 AGREEMENT PERIOD. The Company and the Employee hereby agree to be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which
Agreement sets forth certain terms and conditions of the Employee's
employment by the Company during the Agreement Period (as defined
below), including, but not limited to, compensation payable to the
Employee while s/he is employed by the Company during the Agreement
Period, the consequences of such Employee's termination of employment
during the Agreement Period, and the consequences of a Change in
Control and Change in Circumstance, both as defined in Paragraph 9,
during the Agreement Period. The "Agreement Period" shall be the
period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 31 of
the first year of the Agreement. The Agreement Period shall be
automatically extended for 12-month periods, and each December 31 of
any such 12-month period shall be referred to herein as an
"Anniversary Date". Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employee who is
continuing in employment with the Company may elect to terminate the
Agreement as of the next following Anniversary Date by providing
notice to the Company, in accordance with the requirements of
Paragraph 14, during the period beginning on November 1 and ending on
November 30 next preceding such Anniversary Date, and the Agreement
Period will end as of such Anniversary Date; provided, however, that
once a Change in Control has occurred, an Employee will not be
permitted to elect to terminate the Agreement; and provided further,
that if a Change in Control occurs after an Employee has elected to
terminate the Agreement but before the next Anniversary Date on which
such termination is to be effective, then the Employee's election
will be ineffective and the Agreement Period shall be automatically
extended despite such Employee's election. If an Employee elects to
terminate the Agreement in accordance with the foregoing, then only
for the purpose of measuring the Non-competition Period described in
Paragraph 6, the Anniversary Date on which the Agreement Period ends
with respect to such Employee shall be treated as the Employee's
Termination Date resulting from the Employee's voluntary resignation.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the
Employee's right to resign at any time and nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed as limiting the Company's right to discharge the
Employee at any time.
1
2. PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES. The Employee agrees that, during the Agreement
Period while s/he is employed by the Company, s/he will devote
his/her full business time, energy and talents to providing services
for the Company in the position specified in Appendix A, which
Appendix A is made part of this Agreement, and that s/he may be
required to perform his/her duties under this Agreement at such
locations within or outside the United States as may be designated
from time to time by the Company and shall serve as an officer and/or
Trustee of the Company or any AMLI entity without additional
compensation. The Employee shall have such duties and
responsibilities as may be assigned to him/her from time to time by
the Company, including, but not limited to, those duties specified
in Appendix A hereto. The Employee shall perform all duties assigned
to him faithfully and efficiently, subject to the direction of the
Company and shall have such authorities and powers as are inherent to
the undertakings applicable to his/her position and necessary to
carry out the responsibilities and duties required of him/her
hereunder.
3 COMPENSATION. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Employee shall be compensated by the Company for his/her services
rendered hereunder as follows:
a) SALARY. The Employee shall receive as of the Effective Date the
annual base salary specified in Appendix A hereto (the
"Salary"), which Salary shall be payable in accordance with the
Company's customary payroll practices as in effect from time
to time during the term of his/her employment. The Employee's
Salary rate shall be reviewed at least annually by the Company
in accordance with the Company's customary salary review
procedures as in effect from time to time during the term of
his/her employment.
b) BONUS. The Employee may become entitled to receive bonuses as
determined solely within the discretion of the Company.
c) FRINGE BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES. Except as specifically
provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the Employee shall
be provided with the welfare benefits and other fringe benefits
to the same extent and on the same terms as those benefits are
provided by the Company from time to time to the Company's
other senior management employees, plus any additional benefits
listed on Exhibit A hereto.
d) EXPENSES. The Employee shall be reimbursed by the Company, on
terms and conditions that are substantially similar to those
that apply to other similarly situated senior management
employees of the Company, for reasonable expenses for
entertainment, travel, meals, lodging and similar items in
accordance with and subject to the Company's expense
reimbursement policies and procedures as in effect from time to
time.
4 RIGHTS AND PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION. The Employee's right to
benefits and payments, if any, for periods after the date on which
his/her employment with the Company terminates for any reason (the
"Termination Date") shall be determined in accordance with this
Paragraph 4:
a) MINIMUM PAYMENTS. If the Employee's Termination Date occurs
during the Agreement Period for any reason, then the Employee
shall be entitled to the following payments, in addition to any
payments or benefits to which the Employee may be entitled
under the following provisions of this Paragraph 4 (other than
this subparagraph (a)):
(i) His/her earned but unpaid Salary for the period ending on
his/her Termination Date; and
2
(ii) His/her accrued but unpaid vacation pay for the period
ending with his/her Termination Date, as determined in
accordance with the Company's policy as in effect from
time to time.
Payments to be made to the Employee pursuant to this subparagraph
4(a) shall be made in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the
Employee's Termination Date. Except as may be otherwise expressly
provided to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed as requiring the Employee to be treated as
employed by the Company following his/her Termination Date for
purposes of any employee benefit plan or arrangement in which s/he
may participate at such time, except to the extent required by law.
b) TERMINATION BY COMPANY FOR CAUSE. If the Employee's Termination
Date occurs during the Agreement Period and is a result of the
Company's termination of the Employee's employment on account
of Cause (as defined below), then, except as agreed in writing
between the Employee and the Company, the Employee shall have
no right to future payments or benefits under this Agreement
(and the Company shall have no obligation to make any such
future payments or provide any such future benefits) for
periods after the Employee's Termination Date. For purposes of
this Agreement, the term "Cause" shall mean (1) the willful and
continued failure of the Employee to substantially perform
his/her duties (other than any such failure resulting from the
Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which
failure has not been corrected by the Employee within 30 days
after the Company has given the Employee written notice of such
failure, (2) the willful engaging by the Employee in conduct
which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company
or AMLI, monetarily or otherwise, (3) conduct by the Employee
that involves theft, fraud or dishonesty, (4) other acts of
moral turpitude by the Employee, or (5) the Employee's
violation of the provisions of Paragraphs 5 or 6 hereof. No
act, or failure to act, on the Employee's part shall be deemed
"willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him/her not in
good faith and without reasonable belief that the action
or omission was in the best interest of AMLI.
c) TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY FOR REASONS OTHER THAN CAUSE. If the
Employee's Termination Date occurs during the Agreement Period
and is a result of the Employee's termination of employment by
the Company for any reason other than Cause (and is not on
account of the Employee's death, disability, or voluntary
resignation, the mutual agreement of the parties or any other
reason), then the Employee shall receive from the Company,
payments under Paragraph 4(a) and such other severance
benefits, if any, as determined by the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may, at any time, relieve the
Employee of his/her duties for a specified period of time
and such action on the part of the Company shall not be
considered a termination of the Employee's employment
hereunder. During any period that the Employee has been
relieved of his/her duties pursuant to the foregoing sentence,
all provisions of this Agreement, other than the provisions of
Paragraphs 2 which require the Employee to actively perform
services for the Company, shall continue to remain in full
force and effect.
3
d) TERMINATION FOR VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION, MUTUAL AGREEMENT OR
OTHER REASONS. If the Employee's Termination Date occurs
during the Agreement Period on account of his/her voluntary
resignation, death, disability, mutual agreement of the
parties, or any reason other than those specified in
subparagraphs (b) or (c) above then, except as described in
Paragraphs 9 and 10, or as agreed in writing between the
Employee and the Company, the Employee shall have no right to
future payments or benefits under this Agreement (and the
Company shall have no obligation to make any such future
payments or provide any such future benefits) for periods after
the Employee's Termination Date. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "disability" shall mean with respect to an
Employee, that the Employee is eligible for long term
disability benefits under the long term disability plan
maintained by the Company, or as otherwise determined in the
sole discretion of the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Employee shall
automatically cease to be an officer and/or Trustee of the Company and any
AMLI entity as of his/her Termination Date.
5 CONFIDENTIALITY. Except as may be required by the lawful order of a
court or agency of competent jurisdiction, or except to the extent
that the Employee has express authorization from the Company, s/he
shall keep secret and confidential indefinitely all non-public
information (including, without limitation, information regarding
litigation and pending litigation) concerning AMLI which was acquired
by or disclosed to the Employee during the course of his/her
employment with AMLI, or during the course of his/her consultation,
if any, with AMLI following his/her termination of employment and not
to disclose the same, either directly or indirectly, to any other
person, firm, or business entity, or to use it in any way. Nothing in
the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 5 shall be construed
so as to prevent Employee from using, in connection with his/her
employment for his/herself or an employer other than AMLI, knowledge
that was acquired by him/her during the course of his/her employment
with AMLI and which is generally known to persons of his/her
experience in other companies in the same industry.
6 NON-COMPETITION. Other than with respect lo any specific activity,
position, and entity listed on Exhibit B, which Exhibit B is made a
part of this Agreement, Employee agrees that during the term of
his/her employment by the Company and for the period specified in
Appendix A hereto following his/her Termination Date (the
"Non-competition Period"), s/he will not directly or indirectly
engage in, assist, perform services for, establish or open, have any
equity interest (other than ownership of 10% or less of the
outstanding stock of any corporation listed on the New York or
American Stock Exchange or included in the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System) or have any other
ownership interest (other than ownership of 10% or less of a
non-publicly-owned business entity as a limited partner with no
active participation in the operation of the entity) in any person,
firm, corporation, or business entity (whether as an employee,
officer, director, agent, security holder, creditor, consultant, or
otherwise) that engages in any activity in the Non-competition Area,
which activity is the same as, substantially similar to, or
competitive with (i) the management or leasing of any Residential
Property, (ii) the acquisition, ownership, operation or development
of any Residential Property, (iii) the business of Advising, or
(iv) any other business in which AMLI has material operations or
devoted materials resources to establishing material operations
during the period to which this Paragraph 6 relates. For purposes of
this Paragraph 6, "Residential Property" means rental real property
of 100 units or more that is, or is planned to be, used for rental
multi-family residential purposes, and "Advising" means raising
capital from institutional investors or investment in Residential
Property in a co-investment structure where the investment objectives
4
are the same or similar to AMLI's. For purposes of this Paragraph 6,
"Non-competition Area" means the metropolitan areas of Dallas/Fort
Worth, Austin, and Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago,
Illinois; Indianapolis, Indiana; Kansas City, Kansas (known as
Eastern Kansas), Denver, Colorado; and any other area within a
15-mile radius of where AMLI is conducting or has reasonable
expectation of commencing business activities during the Non-
competition Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee's
employment is terminated by the Company either (a) for any reason
other than Cause, as defined in Paragraph 4, or (b) for any reason
following a Change in Control (as such term is defined in Paragraph
9), then the restrictions of the preceding sentence shall cease to
apply to the Employee effective as of his/her Termination Date. In
the event this covenant is more restrictive than permitted by the law
of the jurisdiction in which the Company seeks enforcement hereof,
this covenant shall be limited to the minimum extent necessary to
comply with applicable law. Nothing in this Paragraph 6 shall be
construed as limiting the Employee's duty of loyalty to the Company
and while s/he is employed by the Company, or any other duty s/he may
otherwise have to the Company and AMLI while s/he is employed by the
Company.
7 REMEDIES. Employee acknowledges that the Company would be
irreparably injured by a violation of Paragraphs 5 and 6 and agrees
that the Company, in addition to other remedies available to it for
such breach or threatened breach, shall be entitled to a preliminary
injunction, temporary restraining order, or any other equivalent
relief, restraining the Employee from any actual or threatened breach
of Paragraphs 5 or 6 without any bond or other security being
required.
8. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. The Employee shall have no right to
benefits and payments for periods after the date on which his/her
employment with the Company terminates for any reason, except as
provided in Paragraphs 4, 9 and 10 of this Agreement.
9 PAYMENT UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL AND CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES. Subject
to the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and Paragraph 10:
a) In the event of both a Change of Control and a Change in
Circumstances, as such terms are defined below, the Company
will pay to the Employee by wire transfer or cashier's check,
within ten days after the date of the Change in Circumstance,
an amount equal to the Employee's "Compensation from the
Company," as hereinafter defined, multiplied by the number
specified in Appendix A hereto. The Employee's "Compensation
from the Company" shall be equal to the Employee's annual
Salary, as defined in Paragraph 3 on the date immediately prior
to the Change in Circumstance, plus the average of the last
three years' cash bonuses and fringe benefits, both as
described in Paragraph 3, from the Company that was includible
in his/her gross income for federal income tax purposes,
unreduced for any salary deferrals or salary reduction
elections; provided, however, that for purposes of this
Paragraph 9, the cash bonus for a year shall include the
cash bonus that is attributable to that year as determined
by the Company in its award of bonuses for a year, regardless
of when the cash bonus is actually paid to the Employee or
includible in the Employee's gross income; and provided further
that a cash bonus shall not include cash payments, if any, from
the AMLI Residential Properties Performance Incentive Plan, or
any similar stock-based incentive plan. If for any year an
Employee has been employed by the Company for less than a full
year, the Employee's compensation taken into account for the
partial year in determining the Employee's Compensation from
the Company shall be determined as if the Employee's Salary and
5
fringe benefits paid during such partial year had been paid at
the same rate for an entire year; and the cash bonus
attributable to that partial year shall be taken into account
for that year, unless the Company has not yet determined the
bonus attributable to that year, in which case the cash bonus
taken into account for the partial year shall be deemed to be
the cash bonus, if any, awarded to the Employee which is
attributable to the year immediately prior to the partial year.
If an Employee has been employed less than three years, such
Compensation from the Company shall be based on the number of
full and partial years that the Employee has been employed by
the Company.
b) If an Employee terminates employment or is terminated from
employment for any reason (other than Cause) following or in
connection with both a Change of Control and a Change in
Circumstance, the Employee and his/her eligible dependents will
be entitled to continue to be covered at the Company's expense
under the Company's health, dental, life insurance, and
disability welfare plans as in effect at the Employee's
termination of Employment, or comparable plans, for a period of
two years following the date of the such termination of
employment; provided however, that such benefits shall cease
upon the Employee's employment by a new entity under which
comparable benefits are available.
c) If an Employee seeks to interpret or enforce his/her rights
under this Agreement following a Change in Control, regardless
of whether a Change in Circumstances also occurs, all
reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements
of counsel) incurred by the Employee in seeking to interpret or
enforce rights pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid on
behalf of or reimbursed to the Employee promptly by the
Company, whether or not the Employee is successful in asserting
such rights; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be
made of such expenses relating to any unsuccessful assertion
of rights if and to the extent that Employee's assertion of
such rights was in bad faith or frivolous, as determined by
independent counsel mutually acceptable to the Employee and the
Company.
d) "Change in Control" shall mean the occurrence of any of the
following:
(i) Any Person other than:
(1) A trustee or other fiduciary of securities held
under an employee benefit plan of the REIT or an
employee benefit plan of an Affiliate of the REIT;
(2) A corporation or trust owned, directly or
indirectly, by the present shareholders on the
Effective Date of the REIT in substantially the
same proportions as their ownership of the REIT;
(3) Any Person in which the Employee has a substantial
(10% or greater) equity interest;
(4) AMLI Realty Co. ("ARC"), the Employee, UICI, or
their respective Affiliates and families; or
(5) A Person that acquires Shares pursuant to a
Business Combination (as defined below) which is
approved by the shareholders of the REIT and which
complies with subparagraph (iv) of this definition;
6
is or becomes a beneficial owner (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended), directly or indirectly, of Shares representing
25% or more of the total voting power of the REIT's then
outstanding shares of beneficial interest, or of 25% or
more of the then outstanding Units of the Operating
Partnership;
(ii) A tender offer is made for the shares of beneficial
interest of the REIT and the Person making the offer owns
or has accepted for payment Shares representing 25% or
more of the total voting power of the REIT's then
outstanding shares of beneficial interest, or of 25% or
more of the then outstanding Units of the Operating
Partnership;
(iii) The majority of the REIT's Board of Trustees consists of
individuals other than Incumbent Trustees, which term
means the members of the REIT's Board of Trustees on the
date of this Agreement; provided that any individual
becoming a Trustee subsequent to such date whose election
or nomination for election was supported by 2/3 of the
Trustees who then comprised Incumbent Trustees shall be
considered to be an Incumbent Trustee; or
(iv) The shareholders of the REIT approve a reorganization,
merger consolidation or sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company, the REIT, or the Operating
Partnership (a "Business Combination") with or to any
other Person (other than, the Employee, UICI, or their
respective Affiliates) other than a Business Combination
which (a) would not result in any Person (other than
Employee, or UICI or their respective Affiliates) owning,
directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the combined
voting power of the REIT's or such surviving entity's
outstanding voting securities, or of the Operating
Partnership's Units, immediately after such Business
Combination.
e) "Change in Circumstances" means the occurrence of any of the
following within eighteen months of a Change in Control while
the Employee is employed by the Company:

in Paragraph 3, as in effect immediately prior to the

(iii) The Employee's relocation to a location not within fifty
miles of his/her office or job location on the date of
the Change in Control, except for required travel on the
Company's business to an extent substantially consistent
with his/her business travel obligations as in effect
immediately prior to the Change in Control; or
7
(iv) The Employee's involuntary termination of employment by
the Company without Cause.
For purposes of this Paragraph 9, "Person" means an individual,
corporation, partnership, trust, unincorporated association or any other
legal entity, and collectively shall include any group of two or more
Persons acting in concert. "Affiliate" with regard to a Person, means a
Person that controls or is controlled by such Person. For purposes of this
definition, "control" when used with respect to any Person means the power

10 EXCISE TAX GROSS-UP. If the Employee becomes entitled to payment in

under subparagraph 9(a) (and with respect to any other payment made
to the Employee upon a Change in Control, including without
limitation, the vesting of an option or other cash or non-cash
benefit or property, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement with the Company or any
other AMLI entity) (the "Total Payments"), if such Total Payments are
or become subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (or any similar tax
that may hereafter be imposed) (the "Excise Tax"), the Company shall
pay to Employee at the time specified below an additional amount (the
"Gross-up Payment") (which shall include, without limitation,
reimbursement for any penalties and interest that may accrue in
respect of such Excise Tax) such that the net amount retained by
Employee, after reduction for any Excise Tax (including any penalties
or interest thereon) on the Total Payments and after any reduction
for any federal, state and local income or employment tax and Excise
Tax on the Gross-up Payment provided for by this Paragraph 10, but
before reduction for any federal, state, or local income or
employment tax on the Total Payments, shall be equal to the sum of

respectively, for the calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is
to be made.
11 WITHHOLDING. All compensation payable under this Agreement shall be
subject to customary withholding taxes and other employment taxes as
required with respect to compensation paid to an employee and the
amount of compensation payable hereunder shall be reduced
appropriately to reflect the amount of any required withholding.
Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Company shall have no obligation to make any payments to the Employee
or to make the Employee whole for the amount of any required taxes.
8
12 WAIVER OF BREACH. The waiver by either the Company or Employee of a
breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be
deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach by either the Company or
Employee of that provision or any other provision hereof.
Continuation of any payments hereunder by the Company following a
breach by Employee of any provisions of this Agreement shall not
preclude the Company from thereafter terminating said payments based
upon the same violation.
13 SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision or portion of this
Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any
reason, such provision shall be limited to the minimum extent
necessary to comply with applicable law, and the remaining provisions
of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in
full force and effect.
14 NOTICES. Any notice, request, demand, and other communication
provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and
if sent by registered or certified mail, or by nationally-recognized
courier service, confirmed fax, or confirmed personal delivery to the

Company or in the case of the Company, to the attention of the

understanding and agreement of the parties hereto, and supersedes all
prior understandings and agreements of the parties hereto, whether
oral or written, as to the subject matter hereof.

22 ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY EMPLOYEE. The Employee represents to the Company
that s/he is knowledgeable and sophisticated as to business matters,
including the subject matter of this Agreement, that s/he has read

acknowledges that, prior to assenting to terms the terms of this
Agreement, s/he has been given a reasonable time to review it, to
