EXHIBIT 10.42
CONTRIBUTION AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
CONTRIBUTION AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of June 15,
1998 (this "Agreement"), by and between Apartment Investment and Management
Company, a Maryland corporation ("AIMCO"), and AIMCO Properties, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the "OP").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement of Limited Partnership of
the OP, AIMCO has previously agreed to certain restrictions on its ability to
conduct business other than through the OP;
WHEREAS, in order to maintain AIMCO's qualification as a real
estate investment trust under Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), AIMCO has acquired, and may in the future acquire, an
interest in corporations with respect to which the OP does not own any interest
(each corporation in which AIMCO now owns or may hereafter acquire an interest
is referred to herein as a "QRS"); and
WHEREAS, AIMCO and the OP desire for the OP to acquire from
AIMCO the economic benefits of the assets owned by the QRS's, and for AIMCO to
grant the OP certain rights with respect to the management and operation of the
QRS's; and
WHEREAS, AIMCO and the OP have determined that it is desirable
and in their respective best interests to memorialize certain arrangements and
relationships.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Issuance of Securities to QRS. For each QRS now
owned or hereafter acquired by AIMCO, (a) if AIMCO acquired such QRS, in whole
or in part, for, or with the proceeds from the sale of, shares of AIMCO common
stock, the OP shall issue to such QRS a number of OP Partnership Common Units
("OP Units")
2
equal to the number of such shares of AIMCO common stock, minus the number of
OP Units previously issued by the OP to such QRS or any of its subsidiaries,
and (b) if AIMCO acquired such QRS, in whole or in part, for securities issued
by AIMCO other than common stock, the OP shall issue to such QRS securities of
the OP equivalent to those issued by AIMCO, and (c) if AIMCO acquired such QRS,
in whole or in part, with the proceeds (whether comprised of cash or other
assets) of a loan from the OP to AIMCO, the OP shall issue to such QRS an
interest in the OP that (i) entitles the holder thereof to receive
distributions in amounts and at the same times as interest payments on such
loan (with appropriate reductions in such distributions if any portion of the
loan is repaid), (ii) entitles the holder thereof to receive, if and to the
extent that any portion of such loan is repaid, a number of OP Units equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing the principal amount of the loan repaid by
the market price of AIMCO common stock at the date of repayment (it being
understood and agreed that if the loan is repaid with funds contributed to such
QRS by AIMCO from the proceeds of a sale of AIMCO common stock, the market
price of AIMCO common stock at the date of repayment shall be deemed to be the
net price per share at which such shares were sold), and (iii) is automatically
redeemed for no consideration upon the repayment in full of such loan.
2. Contribution of Dividends and Other Payments. AIMCO
shall cause each QRS to pay to AIMCO, either directly or through other QRS's,
all dividends, distributions and other payments received by such QRS in respect
of any shares of capital stock, any partnership interest or any other property
or asset held by such QRS, including any proceeds from the sale, redemption or
other disposition for value of such shares of capital stock, partnership
interest or other property or asset, but excluding any distributions received in
respect of any interests in the OP (collectively, "QRS Proceeds"). AIMCO shall
contribute to the OP all QRS Proceeds received by it. AIMCO shall make such
contributions either directly or through one or more QRS's. AIMCO shall not
receive any consideration (including any additional partnership interests in the
OP) in exchange for such contributions.
3. Management and Operation of QRS-Controlled
Properties. With respect to each property now or hereafter controlled by a QRS
(each, a "Property"), whether controlled directly or indirectly through one or
more subsidiaries, AIMCO shall cause such QRS, and each of its subsidiaries,
to:
(a) engage or retain as a manager for such Property only
a person or entity that has been selected or approved by the OP, and only on
terms that have been approved by the OP;
2
3
(b) at the request or direction of the OP, terminate the
manager of such Property;
(c) prohibit the termination of the manager of such
Property without the prior consent or approval of the OP;
(d) submit an annual operating budget for such Property
to the OP for its approval, and make any and all changes to such budget as may
be requested by the OP;
(e) submit to the OP for its approval all decisions with
respect to any expenditures at such Property that have not been provided for in
an annual operating budget previously approved by the OP; and
(f) prohibit the incurrence of any expense at such
Property that has not been approved by the OP.
4. Right of First Refusal. If AIMCO or any QRS proposes
to transfer, directly or indirectly, or refinance all or any part of its
interest in a QRS or any asset held by a QRS (other than OP Units and other
securities issued pursuant to Section 1 hereof), or is required by operation of
law or other involuntary transfer to do so, AIMCO shall, or shall cause such
QRS to, first offer the OP the opportunity to purchase (x) any or all of the
assets (other than any capital stock of another QRS, any OP Units or any other
securities issued pursuant to Section 1 hereof) directly or indirectly owned or
controlled by the QRS proposed to be transferred, or (y) any or all of the
assets (other than any capital stock of another QRS, any OP Units or any other
securities issued pursuant to Section 1 hereof) proposed to be transferred or
refinanced, in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) AIMCO shall provide notice ("Option Notice") to the
OP of the proposed transfer or refinancing and all of the terms thereof.
(b) Within thirty (30) days after the OP's receipt of the
Option Notice, the OP shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to
purchase (x) any or all of the assets (other than any capital stock of another
QRS, any OP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to Section 1 hereof)
directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the QRS proposed to be
transferred, or (y) any or all of the assets (other than any capital stock of
another QRS, any OP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to Section 1
hereof) proposed to be transferred or refinanced, in either case,

4
for no additional consideration.
(c) If the OP elects to purchase any or all of such
assets, then the closing (the "Closing") of such purchase shall occur on a date
selected by the OP that is within ninety (90) days after the OP's receipt of
the Option Notice, and AIMCO and the OP shall execute such documents and
instruments and make such deliveries as may be reasonably required to
consummate such purchase.
(d) For a period of thirty (30) days commencing
immediately after the earlier to occur of (1) the Closing or, (2) if the OP
defaults in its obligation to effect the Closing, the date that is ninety (90)
days after the OP's receipt of the Option Notice, AIMCO may transfer any or all
of the QRS interest, or transfer or refinance any or all of the other assets,
as described in the Option Notice. If such QRS interest is not so transferred,
or such other assets are not so transferred or refinanced, AIMCO must give
notice in accordance with this Section 4 prior to any other or subsequent
transfer or refinancing of such QRS interest or other assets.
