and authority and all necessary governmental approvals to own, lease and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being
conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good

not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on such
Person.

Related Documents to which it is a party, to perform its obligations

each of the Related Documents to which it is
24
a party, and the consummation by each of the Buyers of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and each of the Related Documents to which it is
a party, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate or
partnership action and no other corporate or partnership proceedings on the part
of the Buyers are necessary to authorize this Agreement or any of the Related
Documents or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
This Agreement and each of the Related Documents has been (or, when executed and
delivered, will have been) duly and validly executed and delivered by each of
the Buyers, to the extent each is a party thereto, and, assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties hereto or
thereto, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Buyer,
enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with its terms, except as
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to creditors'
rights generally and by equitable principles to which the remedies of specific
performance and injunctive and similar forms of relief are subject.
5 NO CONFLICT; REQUIRED FILINGS AND CONSENTS. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement by each of the Buyers do not, and the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions by
the Buyers will not, (a) conflict with, result in a breach of, cause a
dissolution or require the consent or approval of any Person under, or
violate any provision of, the Organizational Documents of either of the
Buyers, (b) require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or
filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority, except for the

of a Lien or other encumbrance on any property or asset of the Buyers or any
subsidiary of either of the Buyers pursuant to, any Contract of either of the
Buyers, except, in the case of clauses (b), (c) and (d), such as would not
prevent or delay either of the Buyers from performing its obligations under
this Agreement in any material respect, and would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on either of the Buyers.
6 SEC REPORTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
(a) Each form, report, schedule, registration statement and
definitive proxy statement filed by AIMCO with the SEC since August 14, 1995 and
prior to the date hereof (as such documents have been amended prior to the date
hereof, the "AIMCO SEC REPORTS"), as of their respective dates, complied in all
material
25
respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. None of the AIMCO SEC Reports, as
of their respective dates, contained or contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, except for such statements, if any,
as have been modified or superseded by subsequent filings prior to the date
hereof. AIMCO has made available to the Sellers true, accurate and complete
copies of all of the AIMCO SEC Reports.
(b) The consolidated financial statements of AIMCO and its
subsidiaries included in the AIMCO SEC Reports comply as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules
and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes
thereto or, in the case of the unaudited interim financial statements, as
permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) and fairly present (subject, in the case of
the unaudited interim financial statements, to normal, year-end audit
adjustments) the consolidated financial position of AIMCO and its subsidiaries
as at the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and
cash flows for the periods then ended.
(c) Since December 31, 1996, neither AIMCO nor any of its
subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities or obligations (whether absolute,
accrued, fixed, contingent, liquidated, unliquidated or otherwise and whether
due or to become due) of any nature, except liabilities, obligations or
contingencies (a) which are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet of AIMCO
and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 1996 (including the notes thereto) or
(b) which (i) were incurred in the ordinary course of business after December
31, 1996 and consistent with past practices, (ii) are disclosed in the AIMCO SEC
Reports filed after December 31, 1996, or (iii) would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on AIMCO.
(d) Since August 14, 1995, AIMCO has timely filed with the SEC
all forms, reports and other documents required to be filed prior to the date
hereof, and no subsidiary of AIMCO has filed, or been required to file, any
form, report or other document with the SEC, in each case, pursuant to the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Since
December 31, 1996, there has been no change in any of the significant accounting
(including Tax accounting) policies, practices or procedures of AIMCO or any
subsidiary of AIMCO.
7 LITIGATION. Except as disclosed in the AIMCO SEC Reports, to the Buyers'
knowledge, there are no claims, suits, actions or proceedings pending,
threatened or contemplated, nor are there any investigations or reviews by
any Governmental Authority pending, threatened or contemplated, against,
relating to or affecting AIMCO or any of its subsidiaries, which could
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect on AIMCO, or to prohibit or materially restrict the
26
consummation of the Transactions, nor is there any judgment, decree, order,
injunction, writ or rule of any court, judicial or quasi-judicial body,
governmental department, commission, agency, instrumentality or authority or any
arbitrator outstanding against AIMCO or any of its subsidiaries having, or
which, insofar as can be reasonably foreseen, in the future is likely to have, a
Material Adverse Effect on AIMCO. In addition, to AIMCO's knowledge, there have
not been any developments with respect to any of the claims, suits, actions,
proceedings, investigations or reviews disclosed in the AIMCO SEC Reports which,
insofar as can be reasonably foreseen, in the future are likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect on AIMCO.
8 BROKERS. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any
brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission in connection with the
Transactions based on any arrangement or agreement made by or on behalf of
the Buyers, and the Buyers agree to indemnify and hold the Sellers harmless
against any damages incurred as a result of any such claims.
9 OP UNITS AND WARRANTS. The OP Units, if and when issued to the Sellers in
accordance with this Agreement, will be duly authorized and validly issued.

be duly authorized and validly issued.
10 DISCLOSURE. No representation or warranty of the Buyers contained in this
Agreement and no statement contained in any certificate or schedule furnished
or to be furnished by or on behalf of the Buyers to any Seller or any of its
Representatives pursuant hereto, when taken together with all of the other
representations and warranties herein, contains or will contain any untrue
statement of a material fact.
ARTICLE V
COVENANTS
1 NOTIFICATION OF CERTAIN MATTERS. Each of the parties hereto shall give
prompt notice to the other parties hereto of (a) the occurrence or
nonoccurrence of any event of which such party has knowledge, the occurrence
or nonoccurrence of which would be likely to cause (i) any representation or
warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate, or (ii) any
covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement not to be
complied with or satisfied and (b) any failure of such party to comply with
or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or
satisfied by it hereunder. Subject to SECTION 8.1, the delivery of any
notice pursuant to this Section
27
shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the
party receiving such notice.
2 FURTHER ACTION, REASONABLE EFFORTS; CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Upon the terms
and subject to the conditions hereof, each of the parties hereto shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate
action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or
advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective
the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, using
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all licenses, permits, consents,
approvals, authorizations, certificates, qualifications and orders of, and make
all filings and required submissions with, all Governmental Authorities, and all
shareholders, lenders, members and partners of, and parties to Contracts with,
any of the Buyers, the Sellers or the Companies and all other Persons, in each
case, as are necessary or desirable for the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby (collectively, "CONSENTS"). The Sellers shall, as soon as
possible prior to the Closing, deliver to the Buyers copies of all Consents
obtained by the Sellers. The Buyers shall, as soon as possible prior to the
Closing, deliver to the Sellers copies of all Consents obtained by the Buyers.
In case at any time after the Closing Date any further action is necessary or
desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Buyers and the
Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such action.
Prior to the Closing, each party shall use its best efforts not to take any
action, or enter into any transaction, that would cause any of its
representations or warranties contained in this Agreement to be untrue. The
Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions to
Closing set forth in SECTIONS 6.2(d), (f), (g) and (h), and the Sellers shall
cooperate with the Buyers to satisfy such conditions. In furtherance of and not
in limitation of the foregoing, upon and after becoming the controlling
shareholder of NHP, and prior to the Closing, AIMCO shall not take any action
which would be reasonably likely to prevent or restrict NHP's ability to assist
the Sellers in fulfilling the covenants contained in this SECTION 5.2 or satisfy
the conditions contained in ARTICLE VI.
3 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS OF THE COMPANIES PENDING THE CLOSING.
(a) From the date hereof through the Closing Date, except as
expressly permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, unless such action is
required in order for such Seller to comply with its fiduciary obligations to
the constituent shareholders, partners or members of any of the Companies, or
AIMCO shall otherwise agree in writing prior to the taking of any action
prohibited by the terms of this Section, the Sellers shall cause each of the
Companies to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary and usual
course of business and consistent with past practice and use reasonable efforts
to keep available the services of its present officers and key employees and
preserve the goodwill and business relationships with all Persons having
business relationships with it. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, and except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, prior
to the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of AIMCO (which may not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Sellers shall not permit any of the
Companies to: (i) amend or modify its articles of
28
incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement or any other Organizational
Documents; (ii) issue, sell, pledge or dispose of, grant or otherwise create
(other than by timely exercise of options previously issued), or agree to issue,
sell, pledge or dispose of, grant or otherwise create any equity interest, any
debt or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any equity interest;
(iii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire, or offer to purchase,
redeem or otherwise acquire or retire, any equity interest (including any
options with respect to any equity interest and any security convertible or
exchangeable into any equity interest); provided, that the Companies (other than
the Real Estate Companies) that are corporations may distribute cash balances to
their shareholders in redemption of outstanding capital stock of such
corporations (except for cash that represents security deposits, tax impounds,
insurance impounds or other reserves required by lenders on properties),
provided that the percentage ownership of each shareholder in such corporation
does not change as a result of such redemption; (iv) declare, set aside, make or
pay any dividend or other distribution, payable in cash, stock, property or
otherwise, with respect to any of its equity interests, or subdivide,
reclassify, recapitalize, split, combine or exchange any of its equity
interests; provided that the Real Estate Companies may receive and make cash
distributions to their shareholders, partners or members consistent with past
practice and the Companies (other than the Real Estate Companies) may distribute
cash balances to their shareholders, partners or members, except, in each case,
for cash that represents security deposits, tax impounds, insurance impounds or
other reserves required by lenders on properties; (v) incur or become
contingently liable with respect to any indebtedness or guarantee any such
indebtedness or issue any debt securities or incur any other obligation or
liability outside the ordinary course of business; (vi) acquire or agree to
acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial equity
interest in or a substantial portion of the assets of, or by any other manner,
any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business
entity; (vii) mortgage or otherwise encumber or subject to any lien any of its
properties or assets, other than in the ordinary and usual course of business
and consistent with past practice; (viii) sell, transfer or assign any of its
assets or properties, other than in the ordinary and usual course of business
and consistent with past practice; (ix) enter into any Contract not terminable
within 60 days (other than tenant leases on terms consistent with past
practice), other than in the ordinary and usual course of business and
consistent with past practice; (x) settle any material litigation or dispute,
other than in the ordinary and usual course of business and consistent with past
practice; or (xi) authorize any of, or commit or agree to take any of, the
foregoing actions.
(b) AIMCO shall respond as soon as possible to any request from
any Seller and any Company for AIMCO's prior written consent to any action
prohibited under SECTION 5.3(a) without AIMCO's prior written consent. Such
prior written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by AIMCO
and, in any event, will not be withheld or delayed if withholding or delaying
such consent would cause any diminution in value of any of the Companies.
4 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS OF AIMCO PENDING THE CLOSING. From the date hereof
through the Closing, except as expressly permitted or contemplated by this
Agreement, unless the
29
Sellers shall otherwise agree in writing prior to the taking of any action
prohibited by the terms of this Section, AIMCO shall and shall cause its
subsidiaries to conduct their operations and business in the ordinary and usual
course of business and consistent with past practice and use reasonable efforts
to keep available the services of its present officers and key employees and
preserve the goodwill and business relationships with all Persons having
business relationships with it.
5 ACCESS AND INVESTIGATION.
(a) Prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall, and shall cause the
Companies and their Representatives to, provide the Buyers and their
Representatives with full and free access, during normal business hours and upon
reasonable notice, to the Companies' personnel, properties, contracts, books and
records and other documents and data, including Tax Returns, and shall furnish
the Buyers with copies of all documents and with such additional financial and
operating data and other information as the Buyers shall, from time to time,
reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Buyers to investigate the
affairs of the Companies and the Business and the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Sellers made in this Agreement. During
such investigation, the Buyers and their Representatives shall have the right to
make copies of such contracts, books and records, Tax Returns and other
documents and data as they may deem advisable. The furnishing of such
information to the Buyers and any such investigation by the Buyers shall not
affect the Buyers' right to rely on any of the representations and warranties
made in this Agreement. The Buyers shall not unreasonably disrupt the business
or operations of the Sellers or the Companies.
(b) The Buyers and their Representatives shall be entitled, upon
reasonable notice to the Sellers, to cause one or more environmental assessments
of the Properties (each, an "ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT") to be performed, at the
Buyers' expense. Each Environmental Assessment may include any and all
investigations that the Buyers deem appropriate for assessing the environmental
condition of and any potential environmental liabilities associated with the
Properties. The Sellers shall, and shall cause the Seller Affiliates and the
Companies to, provide the Buyers and their Representatives with full access to
the Properties, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, and
shall not interfere with any Environmental Assessment, and shall provide all
necessary information that is in the Sellers' possession or control that may be
necessary or desirable for each Environmental Assessment.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated, upon the request of the
Sellers, the Buyers shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, return all
information obtained from the Sellers or their Representatives relating to the
Companies.
6 NO SOLICITATION.
(a) The Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any of the
Companies or any of their Representatives or any other Person acting for or on
behalf
30
of any of them to, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, encourage,
entertain offers respect to, negotiate with respect to, or in any manner
encourage, recommend or agree to, any inquiry, offer or proposal relating to (i)
the sale of any assets or equity securities of the Companies, (ii) the merger,
consolidation or other combination of any of the Companies with any Person, or
(iii) the liquidation, dissolution or reorganization of any of the Companies,
except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Sellers shall not, and shall not permit the
Companies or any of their Representatives or any other Person acting for or on
behalf of any of them to, furnish or cause to be furnished any information with
respect to the Companies or their assets to any Person other than the Buyers and
their Representatives except as may be required in the ordinary course of their
business.
(b) If any of the Sellers, the Companies or any of their
Representatives receives from any Person any offer, proposal or informational
request that may be subject to this SECTION 5.6, the Sellers shall, as soon as
possible, but in any event within three Business Days, (w) advise AIMCO of such
offer, proposal or informational request, (x) provide AIMCO with a copy of any
document or writing received by any of the Sellers, the Companies or their
Representatives relating to such offer, proposal or informational request, (y)
advise such Person, by written notice, of the terms of this SECTION 5.6, and (z)
deliver a copy of such notice to AIMCO.
(c) If the Sellers determine in good faith that their fiduciary
obligations require them to accept a written offer from any unaffiliated third
party, the Sellers shall first offer the Buyers the opportunity to undertake
such transaction at the price and upon substantially the same other terms and
conditions set forth in such third party offer. Such offer shall be made to the
Buyers by notice in writing accompanied by a copy of the third party offer. The
Sellers shall provide or cause to be provided promptly to the Buyers such
additional information relating to the third party offer as the Buyers
reasonably may request within 10 days following the receipt by the Buyers of a
copy of the third party offer. The Buyers shall have 20 days following the
receipt of the third party offer and such additional information as reasonably
requested within which to notify the Sellers in writing of their election to
undertake the transaction at the price and upon substantially the same other
terms and conditions set forth in the third party offer; provided, however, that
the Buyers shall have the right to substitute cash or other consideration of a
substantially equivalent after-tax value and reasonably acceptable to the
Sellers if the consideration provided for in the third party offer is of a form
that the Buyers cannot practically offer. If the Buyers elect to exercise their
right of first refusal to undertake such transaction, the Buyers shall fix a
closing date which date shall be not more than 90 days after the date of receipt
by the Buyers of the third party offer and such additional information
reasonably requested (or such later date not to exceed 120 days after the date
of receipt of the written offer as may be reasonably necessary to effect the
transaction). If the Buyers fail to provide written notice of intention to
undertake the transaction within such 30 day period (unless such failure is the
result of action or inaction on the part of the Sellers), such failure shall
constitute waiver by the Buyers of the right to exercise their right of first
refusal with respect to such transaction, and the
31
Sellers shall thereafter be free for a period of 120 days to enter into a
binding agreement with the original third-party offeror on the terms set forth
in the third party's original offer. In the event of any such third party
transaction, the purchase price paid by the Buyers to each Seller pursuant to
SECTION 2.2 shall be reduced by the amount of proceeds from such transaction
received by such Seller.
7 CLOSING COSTS. All documentary transfer, stamp, sales and other Taxes and
recording fees resulting from the Transactions, and the cost of the Surveys and
the Owners' Title Policies shall be paid 50% by the Sellers and 50% by the
Buyers.
8 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. At all times at or before the Closing Date, none of
the Sellers or the Buyers shall issue or make, directly or indirectly, any
reports, statements or releases to the public with respect to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of
each of the others; provided, however, that each of the Sellers and the
Buyers may, without the prior written consent of the others, issue or make,
directly or indirectly, any report, statement or release required by Law, its
fiduciary obligations or any listing agreement or arrangement to which such
Person is a party with a national securities exchange if the other parties to
this Agreement are so notified as soon as possible in advance of such report,
statement or release.
9VOTING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENTS.
(a) At every meeting of the stockholders, partners, members or
other interest holders of the Companies, and at every adjournment or
postponement thereof, and on any matter to which the stockholders, partners,
members or other interest holders of the Companies are entitled to express
consent or dissent in writing without a meeting, the Sellers shall, and shall
cause the Companies to: (i) vote against (or dissent from) any proposal or
offer to acquire all or any portion of any of the Companies, its equity
securities, its assets or its subsidiaries' assets, whether by tender or
exchange offer, merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of assets,
sale of additional interests or similar transaction (each, an "ACQUISITION
PROPOSAL"), which is not made by the Buyers or one of their Affiliates; and (ii)
vote against (or dissent from) any action or agreement that is inconsistent with
or that is reasonably likely to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or
attempt to discourage the Transactions, or to impair the value of such
Transactions to the Buyers; provided, however, that no Seller shall be obligated
to take any action, or refrain from taking any action, hereunder to the extent
that such action or inaction would violate its fiduciary obligations if such
Seller provides the Buyers with a written opinion of counsel, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyers, to the effect that such action
or inaction would violate such Seller's fiduciary obligations.
(b) Except as contemplated in this Agreement, (i) the Sellers
will not, and will cause the Companies not to, directly or indirectly, sell,
transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any
Contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale,
transfer, pledge, encum-
32
brance, assignment or other disposition of, the Properties, the Companies or any
interest therein, and (ii) the Sellers will not, and will cause their Affiliates
not to, directly or indirectly, grant or agree to grant any proxies or
authorities with respect to, deposit or agree to deposit into a voting trust, or
enter into or agree to enter into a voting agreement with respect to, any
interest in any of the Companies.
10 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
(a) For a period of two years after the Closing, the Buyers
shall not engage in, or cause or permit any of their Affiliates to engage in,
any sale or disposition of any interest in NCHP or NHP LP, other than to an
Affiliate of one of the Buyers which agrees to be bound by the terms of this
SECTION 5.10, unless the Buyers shall first offer the Sellers the opportunity to
purchase such interest at the price and upon substantially the same other terms
and conditions set forth in a written offer made in good faith by an
unaffiliated third party (a "BONA FIDE OFFER") (including, without limitation,
tax consequences to the Buyers and consequences of a failure to close the
transaction in accordance with the terms thereof). Such offer shall be made to
the Sellers by notice in writing accompanied by a copy of the Bona Fide Offer.
The Buyers shall provide or cause to be provided promptly to the Sellers such
additional information relating to the Bona Fide Offer as the Sellers reasonably
may request within 15 days following the receipt by the Sellers of a copy of the
Bona Fide Offer. The Sellers shall have 30 days following the receipt of the
Bona Fide Offer and such additional information as reasonably requested within
which to notify the Buyers in writing of their election to purchase the interest
at the price and upon substantially the same other terms and conditions set
forth in the Bona Fide Offer (including, without limitation, tax consequences to
the Buyers, and consequences of a failure to close the transaction in accordance
with the terms thereof); provided, however, that the Sellers shall have the
right to substitute cash or other consideration of a substantially equivalent
after-tax value and reasonably acceptable to the Buyers if the consideration
provided for in the Bona Fide Offer is of a form that the Sellers cannot
practically offer.
(b) If the Sellers elect to exercise their right of first
refusal to purchase an interest in NCHP or NHP LP, the Sellers shall fix a
closing date, which date shall be not more than 90 days after the date of
receipt by the Sellers of the Bona Fide Offer and such additional information
reasonably requested (or such later date not to exceed 120 days after the date
of receipt of the written offer as may be reasonably necessary to effect the
transaction).
(c) If the Sellers fail to provide written notice of their
intention to purchase such interest within the 30 day period set forth in
paragraph (a) (unless such failure is the result of action or inaction on the
part of the Buyers), such failure shall constitute waiver by the Sellers of the
right to exercise their right of first refusal with respect to the sale of such
interest in NCHP or NHP LP, and the Buyers shall thereafter be free for a period
of 120 days to enter into a binding agreement with the original third-party
offeror on terms that are at least as favorable to the Buyers as those contained
in
33
the Bona Fide Offer. If (i) the Buyers have not entered into a binding
agreement with respect to the sale of such interest in NCHP or NHP LP within
such 120 day period , (ii) the Buyers have not closed such transaction within 90
days after entering into a binding agreement, (iii) the terms of such
transaction are not at least as favorable to the Buyers as those contained in
the original Bona Fide Offer, or (iv) the terms of such transaction differ from
the terms of the original Bona Fide Offer in any material respect, then, in each
case, all rights of the Buyers to engage in the sale of such interest in NCHP or
NHP LP, free of the restrictions set forth in this SECTION 5.10, shall
terminate, and the Buyers shall again be required to comply with the provisions
of this SECTION 5.10 if they desire to sell or dispose of any interest in NCHP
or NHP LP.
11 PROPERTY QUESTIONNAIRES. Prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall obtain
and deliver to the Buyers completed questionnaires, in the form provided by
the Buyers (each, a "PROPERTY QUESTIONNAIRE"), with respect to each of the
Conventional Properties, directly or indirectly, to be transferred at the
Closing.
12 TAX MATTERS. For purposes of determining the portion of the income, gain,
losses, deductions and credits of Partners Two and each of its subsidiaries
that shall be allocated to the Sellers for Federal income tax purposes, the
Buyers shall cause Partners Two and each such subsidiary to effect an interim
closing of its books as of the close of business on the day immediately prior
to the Closing Date; all items arising prior to the Closing Date shall be
allocated to the Sellers and all items arising from and after the Closing
Date shall be allocated to the Buyers; provided, that, for each Real Estate
Company in which Partners Two directly or indirectly holds an interest, items
of income and deduction arising in the ordinary course of such Real Estate
Company's business of leasing apartment units (but in no event any income,
gain, loss or deduction arising in connection with a capital transaction of
such Company or any other extraordinary event) shall be allocated between the
Buyers and the Sellers on a pro rata basis, based on the number of days of
such Real Estate Company's taxable year that the Buyers and the Sellers,
respectively, directly or indirectly held an interest in such Real Estate
Company unless otherwise required by applicable law. The Sellers shall be
responsible for preparing the Federal and state income Tax Return of each of
(i) Partners Two, (ii) NHP LP, and (iii) any other Company in which NHP LP,
directly or indirectly, holds an interest and that terminates for Federal

SCHEDULE 5.15 if (i) there is a breach of any representation or warranty set
forth in SECTION 3.3, 3.6, 3.8(a), (c) OR (e), 3.9 OR 3.10(b) (or if there would

inaction taken by the Sellers or any of the Companies at the request or
direction of AIMCO) or a circumstance unknown to AIMCO at the Closing that

circumstance arises primarily as a result of action taken by the Buyers or their
Affiliates), (iv) a title defect is disclosed on a Survey or a PTR (or any
updates thereof) reviewed by the Buyers after the Closing pursuant to SECTION

or circumstance has a material adverse effect on the value of such Conventional
Real Estate Company or such Conventional Property and, in the case of clauses

incorporation or organization, and shall have the requisite power and
authority and all necessary governmental approvals to own, lease and operate
its properties and to carry on its business as it is being conducted as of

(a) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or

(c) except as provided in SECTION 8.1(d), Taxes of the Companies

3 PROCEDURES RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Each Person to be indemnified pursuant to SECTION 8.1 or
SECTION 8.2 (an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") agrees to give prompt notice (a "NOTICE OF
THIRD PARTY CLAIM") to the indemnifying parties of the assertion of any claim,
or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, brought against or sought
to be collected from such indemnified party (each, a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM"), in
respect of which indemnity may be sought by such indemnified party under SECTION
8.1 or SECTION 8.2; provided that the omission so to promptly notify the
indemnifying parties with respect to a Third Party Claim brought against or
sought to be collected from such indemnified party will not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to such indemnified
party under SECTION 8.1 or SECTION 8.2 except to the extent that such failure
has materially prejudiced such indemnifying party with respect to the defense of
such Third Party Claim. If any indemnified party shall seek indemnity under
SECTION 8.1 or SECTION 8.2 with respect to a Third Party Claim brought against
or sought to be collected from such indemnified party, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, to
assume and direct the defense and settlement thereof with counsel satisfactory
to such indemnified party; provided that if such indemnifying party shall so
assume the defense and settlement of any Third Party Claim brought against or
sought to be collected from such indemnified party, such Third Party Claim shall
be conclusively deemed a matter in respect of which such indemnified party is
entitled to be indemnified by such indemnifying party under SECTION 8.1 or
SECTION 8.2, as the case may be; and provided further that if any Third Party
Claim brought against or sought to be collected from any indemnified party
includes a request for injunctive or other equitable relief that, if granted, is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or a similar effect on such
indemnified party, such indemnified party shall be entitled to control and
direct the defense and settlement thereof and in such event the legal and other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof shall be paid by the indemnifying party. After notice from the
indemnifying party to an indemnified party of its election to assume and direct
the defense and settlement of a Third Party Claim brought against or sought to
be collected from such indemnified party which such indemnifying party is
entitled to assume and
45
direct under the terms hereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to
such indemnified party under SECTION 8.1 or SECTION 8.2, as the case may be, for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation; provided that such indemnified party shall have the right to
employ counsel to represent such party if in the reasonable judgment of such
party, it is advisable for such party to be represented by separate counsel
because the representation of both the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party in such matter could present such counsel with a potential conflict of
interest and in such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall
be paid by the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this SECTION 8.3(a), the indemnifying party shall not (A) without the prior
written consent of an indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which such indemnified party is, or with
reasonable foreseeability, could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party for a Third Party Claim brought
against or sought to be collected from such indemnified party, unless such
settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all
liability arising out of such proceeding (provided that, whether or not such a
release is required to be obtained, the indemnifying party shall remain liable
to such indemnified party in accordance with SECTION 8.1 or SECTION 8.2 in the
event that a Third Party Claim is subsequently brought against or sought to be
collected from such indemnified party) or (B) be liable for any settlement of
any Third Party Claim brought against or sought to be collected from an
indemnified party effected without such indemnifying party's written consent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with such
indemnifying party's written consent, or if there is a final judgment for the
plaintiff in any such Third Party Claim, such indemnifying party agrees (to the
extent stated above) to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense by reason of such settlement or
judgment. The indemnification required by SECTION 8.1 or SECTION 8.2, as the
case may be, shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the
course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense is incurred.
(b) In the event any indemnified party should have a claim
(each, a "DIRECT CLAIM") against any indemnifying party under SECTION 8.1 or
SECTION 8.2 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or
sought to be collected from such indemnified party, the indemnified party shall
deliver notice (a "NOTICE OF DIRECT CLAIM") of such claim with reasonable
promptness to the indemnifying party. The failure by any indemnified party so
to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from
any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under SECTION 8.1 or
SECTION 8.2 except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that
it has been materially prejudiced by such failure. If the indemnifying party
does not notify the indemnified party within 30 calendar days following its
receipt of a Notice of Direct Claim that the indemnifying party disputes its
liability to the indemnified party under SECTION 8.1 or SECTION 8.2, as the case
may be, such claim specified by the indemnified party in such Notice of Direct
Claim will be conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying party under
SECTION 8.1 or SECTION 8.2, as the case may be, and the
46
indemnifying party shall pay the amount of such liability to the indemnified
party on demand, or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim
(or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of
such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.
(c) If the indemnifying party has timely disputed its liability
with respect to a Third Party Claim or a Direct Claim, the indemnifying party
and the indemnified party agree to proceed in good faith to negotiate a
resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such
dispute will be resolved by arbitration held in Denver, Colorado in accordance
with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") then in
effect unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. Notice of the demand for
arbitration shall be filed in writing by the indemnified party with the
indemnifying party and with the AAA and shall be made within a reasonable time
after the dispute has arisen. Within 30 days after the date the arbitration
notice is filed with the AAA, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party
shall select one person to act as arbitrator. If the parties are unable to
agree upon an arbitrator within 10 days, the arbitrator shall be selected by the
AAA within 30 days thereafter. The arbitrator shall be independent and
impartial. The arbitrator shall promptly schedule all discovery and the other
steps to be taken in resolution of any controversy, dispute or claim and
otherwise assume sufficient initiative and control to effect the sufficient and
expeditious resolution of the dispute. The award rendered by the arbitrator
shall be final and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable
law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any liability that the
indemnifying party agrees to assume, or that is determined by the arbitrator to
be a liability of the indemnifying party under SECTION 8.1 or SECTION 8.2, will
be conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying party. Except by written
consent of the Person sought to be joined, no arbitration arising out of or
relating to this Agreement shall include, by consolidation, joinder or in any
other manner, any Person not a party to, or otherwise bound by, this Agreement.
The provisions of this Agreement to arbitrate and any other written agreement to
arbitrate referred to herein shall be specifically enforceable under the
prevailing arbitration law.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Buyers and the Sellers shall jointly (i) control any audit, examination,
investigation or other review, or administrative appeal thereof, by any Tax
Authority in respect of any and all Taxes for which indemnification could be
sought by the Buyers under SECTION 8.1, (ii) determine whether to initiate a
claim for a refund or to file an amended Tax Return in respect of any Taxes for
any period (or portion thereof) ending prior to the Closing Date, (iii) take all
necessary and appropriate steps to initiate and pursue such a claim or file such
an amended return, in the event that it is jointly determined to initiate such a
claim or file such an amended return, and (iv) contest and defend, whether in an
administrative or judicial proceeding or otherwise, any assessment, notice of
deficiency or other adjustment or proposed adjustment in respect of Taxes for
which indemnification could be sought by the Buyers under SECTION 8.1. Neither
the Buyers, on the one hand, nor the Sellers, on the other hand, shall make any
decision or take any action contemplated by this SECTION 8.3(d) without the
consent of Demeter or AIMCO, respec-
47
tively, and the Buyers and the Sellers agree to cooperate fully and in good
faith in taking any such action (or in deciding not to take any such action).
All fees and third-party expenses incurred by the Buyers and the Sellers
pursuant to this SECTION 8.3(d) (other than for Taxes) shall be paid jointly by
the Buyers and the Sellers. The Buyers shall promptly give notice to the
Sellers of the commencement of any audit, examination, investigation or other
review, or administrative appeal thereof, by any Tax Authority, or of the
receipt of any notice of deficiency, thirty day letter or other similar notice
or correspondence from any Tax Authority. The Buyers and Sellers shall each
promptly provide the other with copies of all correspondence, records, filings
and other relevant documentation relating to any of the matters contemplated by
this SECTION 8.3(d).
(e) Any refund, credit or other reduction of Taxes received by
AIMCO, AIMCO OP or any of their Affiliates with respect to a Tax period (or
portion thereof) of any Company ending prior to the Closing Date shall promptly
be remitted to the Sellers.
4 LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION.
The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless (i) pursuant to SECTION 8.1(a)
and SECTION 8.2(a) shall terminate when the applicable representation or
warranty terminates pursuant to SECTION 9.7, (ii) pursuant to SECTION 8.1(b) and
SECTION 8.2(b) shall not terminate, and (iii) pursuant to SECTIONS 8.1(c), (d)
and (e) shall terminate on the first anniversary of the Closing Date; provided,
however, that as to clause (i) above such obligation to indemnify and hold
harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the Person to
be indemnified or the related party thereto shall have, before the expiration of
the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice (stating
in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the indemnifying party.
The Sellers shall not have any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the
Buyers and their Representatives pursuant to SECTION 8.1(a), (c), or (d) as a
result of (i) any breach of SECTION 3.8(a), (c), or (d) or SECTION 3.9 or any
other breach of a representation or warranty of the Sellers arising as a result
of the condition of any Property (irrespective of whether the related liability
would also be a liability of a Company other than the Company that owns the
Property with respect to which such breach relates); the Buyers' sole remedy for
any such breach being their exercise of the Buyers' Property Put Right; or (ii)
any breach of any representation or warranty relating to HPI; the Buyers' sole
remedy for any such breach being their exercise of the HPI Put Right.
(a) The Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold
harmless the Buyers and their Representatives under SECTION 8.1(a), (c) or (e),
unless and until the aggregate Damages for which indemnification is sought
thereunder exceed the sum of (x) $1,000,000 plus (y) any amounts theretofore
received by the Companies, AIMCO or any of AIMCO's subsidiaries in settlement
of, or as an award of damages in connection with, any of the matters referred to
on SCHEDULE 3.7 in which one of the Companies is listed as a plaintiff (the
"LITIGATION PROCEEDS"). If the aggregate Damages
48
for which indemnification is sought under SECTION 8.1(a), (c) or (e) exceed the
sum of $1,000,000 plus the Litigation Proceeds (the "THRESHOLD AMOUNT"), the
Sellers shall indemnify the Buyers and their Representatives for (i) 100% of
such Damages in excess of the Threshold Amount, up to the sum of the Threshold
Amount plus $1,000,000, (ii) 80% of such Damages in excess of the sum of the
Threshold Amount plus $1,000,000 up to the sum of the Threshold Amount plus
$6,000,000, and (iii) 90% of all Damages in excess of the sum of the Threshold
Amount plus $6,000,000; provided, however, that if any Damages arise as a result
of liabilities of any Conventional Real Estate Company or attributable to the
condition of a Conventional Property and such Damages exceed the value of the
interest in such Company or Property, as set forth on SCHEDULE 5.15 (reduced, in
each case, by (A) the amount of any distributions theretofore received by the
Buyers in respect of such asset after the Closing Date, and (B) any liabilities
theretofore incurred after the Closing Date outside the ordinary course of
business that are allocable to such asset), the Sellers may, at their collective
option, in lieu of satisfying the indemnification obligations of the Sellers in
respect of such Damages under SECTION 8.1(a), (c) or (e), purchase such asset
from the Buyers for a purchase price equal to its value set forth on SCHEDULE
5.15 (reduced, in each case, by (A) the amount of any distributions theretofore
received by the Buyers in respect of such asset after the Closing Date, and (B)
any liabilities theretofore incurred after the Closing Date outside the ordinary
course of business that are allocable to such asset), payable in cash or, at the
Sellers' option, OP Units (valued for such purpose of $26.75 per OP Unit) or any
combination thereof.
(b) The obligations of each Seller to indemnify and hold
harmless the Buyers and their Representatives under SECTION 8.1 shall be
allocated: 28.6% to Demeter, 47.4% to Phemus, 19% to Capricorn, and 5% to
Xxxxxx.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, each Seller's
liability to the Buyers and their Representatives under this ARTICLE VIII, as of
any date, shall not exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate consideration paid to
such Seller hereunder, plus (ii) an amount equal to the interest that would be
deemed to accrue on the aggregate consideration paid to such Seller hereunder at
the rate of 7% per annum (compounded daily) during the period from the date of
payment of such consideration through the date of determination of such Seller's
liability, with amounts paid prior to such date of determination pursuant to
SECTION 5.15, SECTION 5.16 or ARTICLE VIII treated as reductions in the
principal amount on which such interest is calculated as of the date of payment
of such amounts, less (iii) any amounts theretofore paid by such Seller pursuant
to SECTION 5.15, SECTION 5.16, or this ARTICLE VIII. The Buyers' liability to
each Seller and its Representatives under this ARTICLE VIII, as of any date,
shall not exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate consideration paid to such Seller
hereunder, plus (ii) the product obtained by multiplying (A) any interim
distributions paid by the Real Estate Companies to the Buyers on or prior to the
date of determination, by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
aggregate consideration paid to such Seller hereunder and the denominator of
which is the aggregate consideration paid to all Sellers hereunder, less (iii)
any amounts theretofore paid by the Buyers to such Seller under this ARTICLE
VIII.
49
(d) The Buyers' sole remedy for any Damages arising from Taxes
shall be the Property Put Right described in SECTION 5.15, the HPI Put Right
described in SECTION 5.16, and the indemnification provisions of SECTIONS 8.1(c)
and 8.1(d).

8 SEVERABILITY. Any provision or part of this Agreement which is invalid or
unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
situation and such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such

13 REMEDIES.
In the event of a breach by any of the Buyers or any of the Sellers of its
obligations under ARTICLE II or SECTION 5.6, 5.9, 5.15 or 5.16 of this
Agreement, the non-breaching party, in addition to being entitled to exercise
all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Buyers and the
Sellers agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for
any loss incurred by reason of a breach by any of them of any of the
provisions of ARTICLE II or SECTION 5.6, 5.9, 5.15 or 5.16 of this Agreement
and hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific
performance in respect of such breach, they shall waive the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate.
(a) The sole and exclusive liability of the Sellers to the
Buyers and their Representatives, and of the Buyers to the Sellers, for money
Damages under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions
(including, without limitation, for any breach or inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty or for any breach of any covenant required to be
performed hereunder) and the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyers and the
Sellers with respect to any of the foregoing, shall be as expressly set forth in
ARTICLE VIII, and the Sellers and the Buyers hereby waive, release and agree not
to assert any other remedy for money Damages; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not limit the Buyers or the Sellers in any way from exercising
any rights or securing any remedies in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby as a result of a fraudulent breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant hereunder.
14 EXHIBITS. All exhibits attached hereto are hereby incorporated by
reference as though set out in full herein.
15 ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event that either party hereto brings an action or
proceeding against the other party to enforce or interpret any of the covenants,
conditions, agreements or provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in
such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs and
expenses of such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, charges, disbursements and the fees and costs of expert
witnesses.
16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Consistent with SECTION 8.3, each party to this
Agreement further waives its respective right to a jury trial of any claim or
cause of action arising out of this Agreement or any dealings between any of
the parties hereto relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. The
scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all
disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter
of this Agreement, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort
54
claims and all other common law and statutory claims. This waiver is
irrevocable, meaning that it may not be modified either orally or in writing,
and this waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments, supplements or other
modifications to this Agreement or to any other document or agreement relating
to the Transactions.
17 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each of the parties shall, without further
consideration, use reasonable efforts to execute and deliver such additional
documents and take such other action as the other parties, or any of them,
may reasonably request to carry out the intent of this Agreement and the
Transactions.
18 NEGOTIATION OF AGREEMENT. Each of the parties acknowledges that it has
been represented by independent counsel of its choice throughout all
negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement and that it
has executed the same with consent and upon the advice of said independent
counsel. Each party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and
preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and any
and all drafts relating thereto shall be deemed the work product of the
parties and may not be construed against any party by reason of its
preparation. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would
require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against the party
that drafted it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived. The
provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to
effect the intentions of the parties and this Agreement.

of Registrable Shares by the Holders thereof; shall use its best efforts to
effect such Registration on or prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to
effect any such Registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this
Section 2 in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required
to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such
Registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject
to service in such jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right (the
"SUSPENSION RIGHT") to defer such filing (or suspend sales under any filed
registration statement or defer the updating of any filed registration statement
and suspend sales thereunder) for a period of not more than 120 days during any
one-year period ending on December 31, if the Company shall furnish to the
Holders a certificate signed by the President or any other executive officer or
any director of the Company stating that, (x) in the good faith judgment of the
Company, it would be detrimental to the Company and its shareholders to file
such registration statement or amendment thereto at such time (or continue sales
under a filed registration statement), or (y) the managing underwriter or
underwriters in an underwritten offering by the Company for the account of the
Company have requested in writing that the Holders refrain from any sale or
distribution of Common Stock, and, in either case, the Company has elected to
defer the filing of such registration statement (or suspend sales under a filed

(which shall not exceed 120 days during any one-year period). Upon the
Company's exercise of the Suspension Right, the Holders hereby agree not to
effect any sale or distribution of shares of Common Stock during the period
specified by the Company in such certificate.
(b) The Company shall promptly notify the Holders of the
occurrence of the following events:

has become effective;
(ii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement relating to the

(iii) the suspension of an effective registration statement
by the Company in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 2(a) above;
(iv) the Company's receipt of any notification of the
suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Shares covered by a
registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction; and
(v) the existence of any event, fact or circumstance that
results in a registration statement or prospectus relating to Registrable Shares
or any document incorporated therein by reference containing an untrue statement
of material fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading during the
distribution of securities.
(c) The Company agrees to use its best effort to obtain the
withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any such registration
statement or any state qualification at the earliest possible moment.
(d) The Company shall provide to the Holders, at no cost to the
Holders, a copy of the registration statement and any amendment thereto used to
effect the Registration of the Registrable Shares, each prospectus contained in
such registration statement or post-effective amendment and any amendment or
supplement thereto and such other documents as the requesting Holders may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Shares covered by such registration statement. The Company consents to the use
of each such prospectus and any supplement thereto by the Holders in connection
with the offering and sale of the Registrable Shares covered by such
registration statement or any amendment thereto. The Company shall also file a
sufficient number of copies of the prospectus and any post-effective amendment
or supplement thereto with the New York Stock Exchange (or, if the Common Stock
is no longer listed thereon, with such other securities exchange or market on
which the Common Stock is then listed) so as to enable the Holders to the
benefits of the prospectus delivery provisions of Rule 153 under the Securities
Act.
(e) The Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause the
Registrable Shares covered by a registration statement to be registered with or
approved by such state securities authorities as may be necessary to enable the
Holders to
C-5
consummate the disposition of such shares pursuant to the plan of distribution
set forth in the registration statement.
(f) Subject to the Company's Suspension Right, if any event,
fact or circumstance requiring an amendment to a registration statement relating
to the Registrable Shares or supplement to a prospectus relating to the
Registrable Shares shall exist, immediately upon becoming aware thereof the
Company agrees to notify the Holders and prepare and furnish to the Holders a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement or supplement to the
prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other
required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the
Registrable Shares, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(g) The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
(including the payment of any listing fees) to obtain the listing of all
Registrable Shares covered by the registration statement on each securities
exchange on which securities of the same class are then listed.
(h) The Company agrees to use its best efforts to comply with
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and, as soon as reasonably practicable
following the end of any fiscal year during which a registration statement
effecting a Registration of the Registrable Shares shall have been effective, to
make available to its security holders an earnings statement satisfying the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
(i) The Company agrees to cooperate with the selling Holders to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
Registrable Shares to be sold pursuant to a Registration and not bearing any
Securities Act legend; and enable certificates for such Registrable Shares to be
issued for such numbers of shares and registered in such names as the Holders
may reasonably request at least two business days prior to any sale of
Registrable Shares.

underwritten offering of at least 300,000 Registrable Shares, the Company will
make available for inspection by any Holder disposing of such Registrable
Shares, any underwriter of such offering, and any attorney, accountant or other
agent retained by any such Holder or underwriter (collectively, the
"INSPECTORS"), all financial and other records and other information, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of any of the Company and its subsidiaries
(collectively, the "RECORDS"), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them
to exercise their due diligence responsibility; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Records that the company determines, in good faith, to be confidential shall not
be disclosed to any Inspector unless (i) such Inspector signs a confidentiality
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which shall permit the
disclosure of such Records
C-6
in such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus if necessary to avoid
or correct a material misstatement in or material omission from such
Registration Statement or Prospectus), (ii) after consultation with counsel for
the applicable Inspectors, the Holders and the Company, the disclosure of such
Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such
Registration Statement or (iii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant
to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, PROVIDED
that each Holder shall, promptly after learning that disclosure of such Records
is sought in a court having jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow
the Company, at the Company's expense, to undertake appropriate action to
prevent disclosure of such Records.
(k) If Holders notify the Company that they intend to effect an
underwritten offering of at least 300,000 Registrable Shares, the Company will
enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form, scope
and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings) and take all such other
appropriate and reasonable actions requested by the Holders owning a majority of
the Registrable Shares being sold in connection therewith (including those
reasonably requested by the managing underwriters) in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Shares and, in such connection,
(i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain opinions of counsel to the
Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and
substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters and
counsel to the Holders disposing of Registrable Shares), addressed to each
Holder selling Registrable Shares thereby and each of the underwriters as to the
matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and
such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such counsel and
underwriters, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain "cold comfort"
or "agreed-upon-procedures" letters and updates thereof from the independent
certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other
independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of
any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and
financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration
Statement), addressed to each Holder selling Registrable Shares covered thereby
(unless such accountants shall be prohibited from so addressing such letters by
applicable standards of the accounting profession) and each of the underwriters,
such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type
customarily covered in "cold comfort" or "agreed-upon-procedures" letters in
connection with underwritten offerings, and (iii) if requested and if an
underwriting agreement is entered into, make customary representations and
warranties, and provide indemnification provisions and procedures substantially
to the effect set forth in Section 4 hereof with respect to all parties to be
indemnified pursuant to said Section. The above shall be done at each closing
under such underwriting or similar agreement, or as and to the extent required
thereunder.
Section 3. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. The Company shall pay all
Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the registration,
qualification or
C-7
compliance pursuant to Section 2 hereof. The Company shall pay the fees and
disbursements (not in excess of $25,000 in the aggregate) of one counsel, other
than the Company's counsel, selected to represent the Holders by Holders owning
a majority in number of the Registrable Shares. Except as set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence, each Holder shall pay the expenses of its own
counsel. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with the sale of
Registrable Shares by any of the Holders shall be borne by the Holder selling
such Registrable Shares.
Section 4. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each Holder's
officers and directors, and each person controlling such Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims,
losses, damages and liabilities (including reasonable legal expenses), arising
out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to
the Registrable Shares, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on 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,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or
is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in
writing to the Company by such Holder or underwriter for inclusion therein.
(b) Each Holder will indemnify the Company, each of its
directors and each of its officers who signs the registration statement, each
underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such registration
statement, and each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses,
damages and liabilities (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising
out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained in any such registration statement or prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or based on 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, in each case to the extent, but only
to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or
omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement or
prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in
writing to the Company by such Holder for inclusion therein.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 4
(the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, but the
omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party
C-8
otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 and then, only to
the extent of the actual damages suffered by such delay in notification. The
Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action, including the
employment of counsel to be chosen by the Indemnifying Party to be reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and payment of expenses. The Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the
legal fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the
Indemnified Party, unless the employment of such counsel shall have been
authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense
of such action, or the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to
take charge of the defense of such action or the Indemnified Party shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which
are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party
(in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the
defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which
events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. No
Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall,
except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party
of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is
unavailable to a party that would have been an Indemnified Party under this
Section in respect of any expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities
referred to herein, then each party that would have been an Indemnifying Party
hereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such
expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one
hand and such Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statement or
omission which resulted in such expenses, claims, losses, damages and
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault 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
Indemnifying Party or such Indemnified Party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The Company and each holder of Registrable Shares agrees
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section
were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in
this Section 4(d).
(e) 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.
C-9
Section 5. INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED BY HOLDERS. Each Holder shall
furnish to the Company such information as the Company may reasonably request
and as shall be required in connection with the Registration and related
proceedings referred to in Section 2 hereof. The Company's obligation to
include any Holder's Registrable Shares in a Registration hereunder shall be
subject to such Holder providing the Company with such information. The
Company shall not have any obligation to make more than three post-effective
amendments to any Registration hereunder to include any Registrable Shares of a
Holder providing such information after the effective date of such Registration,
unless such Holder agrees to pay all costs and expenses associated with any
additional post-effective amendment.
Section 6. TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights of each
Holder under Section 2 hereof and the related rights of each Holder hereunder
(the "RIGHTS") may be assigned by each Holder (i) if the Holder is a
corporation, to a shareholder or shareholders of such Holder, (ii) if the Holder
is a partnership, to a partner or partners of that partnership, (iii) if the
Holder is an individual, to a Family Member (as defined in the OP Partnership
Agreement), (iv) upon the death of the Holder, to the heirs of the Investor by

substantially all of its assets, (vi) in connection with a bona fide pledge of
Registrable Shares, to the pledgee, (vii) to an entity controlled by or under
common control with the Holder, or (viii) to any entity or person that acquires
at least 300,000 Registrable Shares, in each case, only in connection with the
transfer of OP Units originally issued to the Investors pursuant to the
Acquisition Agreement or Registrable Shares issued in respect of such OP Units
tendered for redemption; PROVIDED that (w) in each case, the transferee is an
Accredited Investor, (x) such transfer is otherwise effected in accordance with
applicable securities laws and the Company shall have been provided by the
transferor and the transferee with such evidence thereof as the Company may
request, including representations by the transferee in form and content
reasonably acceptable to the Company, (y) the Company is given written notice of
such transfer prior to such transfer (or, in the case of the death of the
Investor, as soon as practicable following the death of the Investor), and (z)
the transferee by written agreement delivered to the Company acknowledges that
such transferee is bound by the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any
such permitted transfer, the defined term "HOLDERS" shall from and after such
transfer include such transferee.
Section 7. ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS. Each Holder of OP Units
agrees that upon surrender of any such OP Units for redemption as provided in
the OP Partnership Agreement, such Holder shall make such investment and other
representations in connection with (and as a condition to) the issuance of
Common Stock in exchange for such OP Units as the Company or AIMCO OP may
reasonably request.
C-10
Section 8. RULE 144 SALES.
(a) The Company covenants that, until the third anniversary of
the date hereof, it will file the reports required to be filed by the Company
under the Exchange Act, so as to enable any Holder to sell Registrable Shares
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
(b) In connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition
by any Holder of any Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, the Company shall cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Shares
to be sold and not bearing any Securities Act legend, and enable certificates
for such Registrable Shares to be for such number of shares and registered in
such names as the selling Holder may reasonably request at least two business
days prior to any sale of Registrable Shares.

date shall be: (i) the closing price of a share of the Company's Common Stock on

which a sale occurred; or (ii) if such Common Stock is not traded on an exchange
but is quoted on Nasdaq or a successor quotation system, (1) the last sales
price (if the Company's Common Stock is then listed as a National Market Issue
under the Nasdaq National Market System) or (2) the mean between the closing
representative bid and asked prices (in all other cases) for the Company's
Common Stock on the trading day previous to such date as reported by Nasdaq or
such successor quotation system; or (iii) if such Common Stock is not publicly
traded on an exchange and not quoted on Nasdaq or a successor quotation system,
the mean between the closing bid and asked prices for the Company's Common
Stock, on the day previous to such date, as determined in good faith by the
Company's Board of Directors or a designated committee thereof; or (iv) if the
Company's Common Stock is not publicly traded, the fair market value established
by the Company's Board of Directors or a designated committee thereof acting in
good faith.
(b) "HOLDER" shall mean, when used with respect to this Warrant or
the Warrant Shares, the person registered on the books and records of the
Company as being the holder of record of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, as

part, of this Warrant.
2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant may be exercised in full or
in part by the Holder hereof by surrender of this Warrant, with the form of
Election to Purchase attached hereto (the "ELECTION TO PURCHASE") duly executed
by the Holder, to the
D-2
Company at its offices at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 or
at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing to the
Holder, accompanied by certified or bank cashier's check payable to the order of
the Company in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares
designated by the Holder in the Election to Purchase by the Purchase Price per
share; provided, however, that the Company shall issue Warrant Shares to a
Holder upon exercise of any Warrant only if such issuance is in compliance with
SECTION 4 hereof. Upon any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its
expense will forthwith issue and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like
tenor, in the name of the Holder on the face or faces of the Warrants for the
number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of such shares called for on the
face of the surrendered Warrant (after giving effect to any adjustment therein
as provided in SECTION 3 below) minus the number of such Warrant Shares (after
giving effect to such adjustment) designated by the Holder in the aforementioned
Election to Purchase.
(b) EXERCISE PERIOD. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder
as to all or any lesser number of Warrant Shares at any time and from time to
time during the period (the "EXERCISE PERIOD") from and after the date of
issuance and until 5:00 p.m. Denver, Colorado time on ____________, 2002 (the
"EXPIRATION DATE"); provided, however, that this Warrant shall be exercisable in
multiples of 500 Warrant Shares unless all of the Warrant Shares covered by the
Warrant are being exercised.
(c) DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES ON EXERCISE. Subject to
SECTION 4 hereof, as soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in
full or in part, and in any event within ten (10) business days thereafter, the
Company will issue in the name of and deliver to the Holder hereof a certificate
or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares to
which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, plus cash, in lieu of
any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, as
provided in subsection (d) below, together with any Other Securities and
property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled
upon such exercise pursuant to SECTION 3 below or otherwise. Subject to the
obligations of the Company and rights of the Holder under the Registration
Rights Agreement, certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall be subject
to a stop transfer order and shall bear the following legend if the Company is
advised by counsel that such legend is necessary at the time of such exercise:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE
SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE
TRANSFEROR DELIVERS TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER
EVIDENCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY,
D-3
TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PROPOSED SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION MAY
BE EFFECTED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THESE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES OR "BLUE SKY" LAWS.
(d) FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company will not issue a fractional
share of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. Instead, the Company will
deliver an amount, in cash, equal to the product of (x) the Fair Market Value of
a full share of the Common Stock as of the last trading day prior to the
exercise date times (y) the fractional amount, and rounded to the nearest whole
cent.
(e) REISSUANCE OF WARRANT. In the event that this Warrant is
exercised in respect of fewer than all of the Warrant Shares covered by this
Warrant at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a new Warrant in like tenor
evidencing the remaining portion of the Warrant will be issued and delivered to
the Holder.
3. ADJUSTMENTS. This Warrant is subject to the following terms and
conditions during the Exercise Period:
(a) ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGE IN CAPITAL STOCK. If, after the date of
issuance, the Company:
(1) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its
Common Stock in shares of its capital stock (including Common Stock);
(2) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares;
(3) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares; or
(4) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any
shares of its capital stock or other securities (including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the continuing corporation),
then, in each such case, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be
made in the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company covered
by this Warrant so that upon exercising this Warrant immediately after such
action, the Holder would be entitled to receive the number of Warrant Shares or
Other Securities of the Company that such Holder would have owned immediately
following such action if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately
prior to such action. The adjustment shall become
D-4
effective immediately after the earlier of (x) the record date or the
distribution date in the case of a dividend or distribution and (y) the record
date or the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
reclassification.
Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the per share Purchase Price shall
be adjusted by multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such
adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares
so purchasable immediately thereafter.
(b) OTHER SECURITIES. If at any time, as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to this SECTION 3, the Holder becomes entitled to
purchase Other Securities of the Company or the stock or Other Securities of any
other person, corporate or otherwise, thereafter the number of such Other
Securities so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price
of such securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner
and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect
to the Warrant Shares contained in this SECTION 3, and the provisions of this
Warrant with respect to the Warrant Shares, shall apply on like terms to any
such other shares, capital stock or Other Securities.
(c) CONSOLIDATIONS MERGERS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS. In case of any
consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into another
corporation or other entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another
corporation or other entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, proper provision shall be made so that the Holder
shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such action to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant the
kind and amount of Other Securities and property which the Holder would have
owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to such action. The Company shall give notice to each Holder
of such provision. Such provision shall provide for adjustments, which shall be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this SECTION 3.
(d) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. Whenever the Purchase Price or the
kind or amount of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be adjusted pursuant to any of the provisions of this Warrant, the Company shall
forthwith thereafter cause to be sent to the Holder a certificate setting forth
the adjustments in the Purchase Price and/or in said number of shares, and also
setting forth in detail the facts requiring such adjustments.
(e) NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. In the event of (i) any taking by
the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of
D-5
determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other
than any regular quarterly dividend paid by the Company) or other distribution,
or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock
of any class or any Other Securities or property, or to receive any other right,
or (ii) any capital reorganization of the Company, or any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, or any transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to, or consolidation or merger of
the Company with or into, any other person, or (iii) any voluntary or
involuntary dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then, and in each such
event, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice
specifying: (a) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose
of such dividend, distribution or right and stating the amount and character of
such dividend, distribution or right, or (b) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time,
if any, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least
twenty (20) days prior to the proposed record date or the proposed closing date,
as applicable, therein specified.
4. TRANSFERABILITY. The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant is
being acquired in a transaction not involving any public offering within the
meaning of the Securities Act and that neither the Warrants or the Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been registered under the
Securities Act. The Holder shall not offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose
of the Warrants or any Warrant Shares in the absence of registration under the
Securities Act unless the Holder delivers to the Company an opinion of a lawyer
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Company, to the effect that the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition
may be effected without registration under the Securities Act.
5. FURTHER COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
(a) RESERVATION OF STOCK. The Company shall at all times reserve
and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of the
Warrants, all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of all
Warrants at the time outstanding.
(b) TITLE TO STOCK. All of the Warrant Shares delivered upon the
exercise of any Warrants shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable;
each Holder of a Warrant shall receive good and marketable title to the Warrant
Shares, free and clear of all voting and other trust arrangements, liens,
encumbrances, equities, and claims whatsoever.
D-6
(c) EXCHANGE OF WARRANTS. Subject to SECTION 3(A) hereof, upon
surrender for exchange of this Warrant to the Company, the Company at its
expense will promptly issue and deliver to the Holder hereof a new Warrant of
like tenor, in the name of such Holder, calling in the aggregate on the face
thereof for the number of Warrant Shares called for on the face of this Warrant
so surrendered.
(d) LISTING ON NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE. The Company will, at its
expense, list on the New York Stock Exchange all of the Warrant Shares from time
to time issued upon the exercise of any Warrants or such other exchange or over-
the-counter market on which the Common Stock may from time to time be trading.
(e) REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon
delivery of an indemnity agreement by the Holder reasonably satisfactory in form
and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender
by the Holder and cancellation of this Warrant, the company at the expense of
the Holder will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like
tenor.

or otherwise disposing of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares in violation of
applicable securities laws and (ii) acknowledges that as a condition to the
exercise of this Warrant the Company may require the Holder to make such
investment representations with respect to the Warrant Shares issuable upon such
exercise as the Company deems advisable for purposes of complying with
applicable securities laws.
7. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder
to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and

Holder at the address for such Holder as it appears in the Company's records, or

enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The
headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit
