"Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or any successor statute thereto. Reference to any provision of the Code shall mean such provision as in effect from time to time, as the same may be amended, and any successor thereto, as interpreted by any applicable regulations or other administrative pronouncements as in effect from time to time.
"Distribution Payment Date" shall mean December 31 of any year beginning with December 31, 2002, and continuing until no Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units remain outstanding.

3. Distributions.
On every Distribution Payment Date, the holders of Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive distributions payable in cash in an amount equal to $2 per Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Unit. Each such distribution shall be payable to the holders of record of the Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units, as they appear on the records of the Partnership at the close of business on the Distribution Payment Date. Distributions shall accumulate from the date of original issuance of the Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units.
4. Liquidation Preference.
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution of the Partnership (whether capital, surplus or otherwise) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Partnership Units, the holders of Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference for each Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Unit as of the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders of the Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units have been paid their aggregate Liquidation

For the purposes of this Section 4, a consolidation or merger of the Partnership with one or more partnerships, or a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Partnership.

5. Conversion.
(a) If AIMCO uses all or any portion of the net proceeds from any sale of its equity securities to pay or prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the Promissory Note, a number of Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units equal to the amount of such net proceeds used to pay or prepay the outstanding balance of the Promissory Note, divided by the Liquidation Preference, shall be automatically converted into (i) if such equity securities are shares of AIMCO's Class A Common Stock, a number of Partnership Common Units equal to the number of shares sold by AIMCO, and (ii) in the case of any other equity securities, an equal number of equity securities of the Partnership of a class or type that are substantially the economic equivalent of the equity securities sold by AIMCO.
LL-3
(b) If AIMCO uses a portion of the net proceeds from a sale of its equity securities to pay or prepay a portion of the Promissory Note, and contributes the remaining portion of such net proceeds to the Partnership, the Partnership Units which are issued in exchange for such contribution pursuant to Section 4.3(E) of the Agreement shall be of the same class or type as those issued pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii) hereof.
(c) The General Partner shall take all actions necessary to effect the creation and issuance of any equity securities of the Partnership necessary to give effect to Sections 5(a) and 5(b).
(d) The Partnership will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Partnership Common Units or other equity securities on conversion of Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units pursuant hereto.
6. Status of Reacquired Units.
All Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Partnership shall be deemed cancelled.

preference or priority to the holders of Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units (the Partnership Units referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Senior Partnership Units");
(b) on a parity with the Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units, as to the payment of distributions and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the distribution rates, distribution payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per unit or other denomination thereof be different from those of the Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units if (i) such class or series of Partnership Units shall be Partnership Common Units, Class I High Performance Partnership Units, Class II High Performance Partnership Units, Class III High Performance Partnership Units, Class IV High Performance Partnership Units, Class V High Performance Partnership Units, Class Five Partnership Preferred Units, Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units or Class Ten Partnership Preferred Units, or (ii) the holders of such class or series of Partnership Units and the Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units shall be entitled to the receipt of distributions and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid distributions per unit or other denomination or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other (the Partnership Units referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Partnership Units"); and
(c) junior to the Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units, as to the payment of distributions and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units shall be entitled to receipt of distributions or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of such class or series of Partnership Units (the Partnership Units referred to in this paragraph being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Junior Partnership Units").

Gross income and, if necessary, gain shall be allocated to the holders of Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units for any Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) to the extent that the holders of Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units receive a distribution on any Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units (other than an amount included in any redemption pursuant to Section 5 hereof) with respect to such Fiscal Year.
LL-5
9. Restrictions on Ownership.
The Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units shall be owned and held solely by the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner.
10. General.
(a) The ownership of Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units may (but need not, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner) be evidenced by one or more certificates. The General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to the Agreement from time to time to the extent necessary to reflect accurately the issuance of, and subsequent conversion or any other event having an effect on the ownership of, Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units.
(b) The rights of the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner, in their capacity as holders of the Class Eleven Partnership Preferred Units, are in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights or authority of the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, respectively, in any other capacity under the Agreement or applicable law.
