ThisAnnex I is intended to summarize certain basic terms of the Auction procedures pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.05(d) of the Credit Agreement (as defined below), of which this Annex I is a part. It is not intended to be a definitive list of all of the terms and conditions of an Auction, and all such terms and conditions shall be set forth in the applicable offer procedures set for each Auction (the “Offer Documents”); provided that in all events each Auction shall be open to all the Term Lenders and written notice of each such Auction by the Tender Agent shall be provided to all Term Lenders in accordance with the Tender Agent’s standard dissemination practices. The Administrative Agent, or any of its Affiliates may tender Return Bids and be a participating Lender on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Annex I and the applicable Offer Documents, and such participation may not be deemed a recommendation to any Lender to submit a Return Bid or to take part in this or any other offer.
          Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2004, by and among APARTMENT INVESTMENT AND MANAGEMENT COMPANY, a Maryland corporation (the “REIT”), AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AIMCO”), and AIMCO/BETHESDA HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“AIMCO/Bethesda”) (the REIT, AIMCO and AIMCO/Bethesda collectively referred to herein as “Borrowers”), each lender from time to time party thereto, BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent and as Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, and KeyBank National Association, as Syndication Agent (as amended by (i) the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated June 16, 2005, (ii) the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated March 22, 2006, (iii) the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated August 31, 2007, (iv) the Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated September 14, 2007, (v) the Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated September 9, 2008, (vi) the Sixth Amendment to Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated May 1, 2009, (vii) the Seventh Amendment to Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated August 4, 2009 and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
     1. Summary. During the one year period commencing with August 4, 2009 and ending on August 4, 2010 (the “Auction Period”), the Borrowers, or any Borrower individually, may make up to (but not more than) five offers in the aggregate to prepay Term B Loans to Lenders (each such offer, an “Auction”) (each such prepayment, a “Term B Loan Auction Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described herein. No Auction may be commenced if any other Auction has been previously commenced and not yet completed, terminated or expired. Separate Auctions may not be commenced on the same day.
     2. Notice Procedures. The Borrowers will provide written notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to the Tender Agent that the Borrowers (or any individual Borrower) desire to prepay Term B Loans (each an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall specify:
          (a) the maximum principal amount of outstanding Term B Loans the Borrowers are willing to prepay in connection with such Auction, which shall be no less than $500,000 and may be in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof (the “Auction Amount”);

i


 

Exhibit A to Seventh Amendment
Annex I to Credit Agreement
          (b) in connection with an Auction that is a (i) Modified Dutch Auction or a Variable Price Auction, the range of discounts (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 of the Term B Loans at issue, equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of the applicable Term B Loans at which the Borrowers would be willing to prepay in the Auction (i.e. a discount range of 20% to 40% means a discount of 20% to 40% of par and, commensurately, a payment range of 60% (in the case of a 40% discount) to 80% (in the case of a 20% discount) of par) and (ii) Fixed Price Auction, the discount (the “Fixed Discount”) expressed as a price per $1,000 of the Term B Loans at issue, equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of the applicable Term B Loans at which the Borrowers would be willing to prepay in the Auction (i.e. a discount of 20% means a discount of 20% of par and, commensurately, a payment of 80% of par);
          (c) whether the Auction will be a Modified Dutch Auction, a Variable Price Auction or a Fixed Price Auction; and
          (d) the date on which the Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (defined below) will be due by 11:00 a.m., as such date and time may be extended (such time, the “Expiration Time”) for a period not exceeding three Business Days upon notice by the Borrowers to the Tender Agent not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time.
     3. Reply Procedures. Each Lender holding Term B Loans wishing to participate in such Auction must by the date and time specified in the Auction Notice provide the Tender Agent with a written notice of participation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Return Bid”) which shall specify:
          (a) in connection with an Auction that is a Modified Dutch Auction or a Variable Price Auction, a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 of Loans (the “Reply Discount”) within the Discount Range (in multiples of $5 per $1,000 principal amount); and
          (b) the principal amount of Term B Loans, in an amount not less than $500,000 and may be in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof (but subject to rounding requirements specified by the Tender Agent), that such Lender would be willing to offer for prepayment at (i) in connection with a Modified Dutch Auction or a Variable Price Auction, such Reply Discount or (ii) in connection with a Fixed Price Auction, the Fixed Discount (the “Reply Amount”).
          A Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of such Term B Loans held by such Lender. Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction; provided that (except in the case of a Fixed Price Auction) each Return Bid may contain up to three component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid (as defined below) and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid; provided further that, the sum of any Lender’s bid(s) may not exceed the principal face amount of Loans held by it. The Borrowers will have no obligation to (and may not) prepay any Term B Loans at a Reply Discount that is outside the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a Reply Discount that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Discount, if applicable. A Lender failing to submit a Return Bid shall be conclusively deemed to have irrevocably elected not to participate in the Auction.
     4. Modified Dutch Auction Procedures.

ii


 

Exhibit A to Seventh Amendment
Annex I to Credit Agreement
          (a) Identification of Clearing Bid and Determination of the Applicable Discount. In the event the Auction being conducted has been specified by the Borrowers to be a Modified Dutch Auction, this Section 4 shall be applicable and the Auction shall constitute a “Modified Dutch Auction”. Based on the Reply Discounts and Reply Amounts received by the Tender Agent in such Modified Dutch Auction, the Tender Agent, in consultation with the Borrowers, will determine the applicable discount (the “Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount”) for the Modified Dutch Auction, which will be the Reply Discount at which the Borrowers can complete the Auction by accepting and prepaying the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term B Loans for which the Borrowers have received Return Bids within the Discount Range) pursuant to Section 2.05(d) of the Credit Agreement. The Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount will be determined and computed by adding the Reply Amounts at each Reply Discount within the Discount Range, commencing with the Reply Amounts which are offered at the highest of such Reply Discounts (i.e. a Reply Discount of 20% is higher than a Reply Discount of 19%) and followed by Reply Amounts which are offered at each lesser Reply Discount within the Discount Range in descending order towards par until the aggregate principal amount of Term B Loans covered by Return Bids within the Discount Range reaches the Auction Amount or, if less, the aggregate amount of Term B Loans for which the Borrowers have received Return Bids within the Discount Range. The Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount will equal the least of the Reply Amounts that is within the Discount Range (i.e., a Reply Discount of 18% is the least of Reply Discounts of 20%, 19% and 18%). No Return Bids will be accepted which specify a Reply Discount less than the Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount. The Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount so derived shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Auction and whose Return Bids (including any component bid thereof) specified a Reply Discount equal to or greater than the Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount (each a “Modified Dutch Auction Qualifying Bid”). If no such Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount for the full Auction Amount can be so derived, then the Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount for all Reply Amounts shall be the least of the Reply Discounts that is within the Discount Range (i.e. a Reply Discount of 18% is the least of Reply Discounts of 20%, 19% and 18%).
     (b) Identification of Accepted Amounts and Acceptance of Bids; Proration. Once the Applicable Discount for each Modified Dutch Auction is determined, the Borrowers shall accept Return Bids (including any component bid thereof) (and commensurately identify for prepayment those Term B Loans (or the respective portions thereof) (“Modified Dutch Auction Qualifying Loans”)) offered by the Lenders whose Return Bids (or component bids thereof) constitute Modified Dutch Auction Qualifying Bids, all at the Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Modified Dutch Auction Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest and premium, if any, payable thereon) would exceed the Auction Amount for such Modified Dutch Auction, the Borrowers shall accept Return Bids for prepayment of Modified Dutch Auction Qualifying Loans all at the Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount based on the respective principal amounts so offered by applying such respective principal amounts (up to the Auction Amount (such amount being referred to as the “Modified Dutch Auction Cap Amount”)) sequentially and pro-rata to the aggregate Reply Amounts included in each Modified Dutch Auction Qualifying Bid at the level of each Reply Discount within the Discount Range, until the aggregate principal amount of Modified Dutch Auction Qualifying Loans reaches the Auction Amount or, if less, the aggregate amount of Term B Loans for which the Borrowers have received Modified Dutch Auction Qualifying Bids. Such application shall be made at each level of Reply Discounts without proration unless and until the aggregate amount of Modified Dutch Auction Qualifying Loans exceed the Modified Dutch Auction Cap Amount, in which case the aggregate Reply Amounts covered by Return Bids (or component bids thereof) specifying Reply Discounts equal to the Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount shall be pro-rated (based on the aggregate amount of Return Bids specifying Reply Discounts equal to the Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount and the amount of such Return Bids that would be necessary to reach the Modified Dutch Auction Cap

iii


 

Exhibit A to Seventh Amendment
Annex I to Credit Agreement
Amount after giving effect to all other Return Bids specifying Reply Discounts below the Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount) to the extent necessary so that the aggregate accepted bids do not exceed the Modified Dutch Auction Cap Amount.
     5. Variable Price Auction Procedures.
          (a) Determination of the Applicable Discount. In the event the Auction being conducted has been specified by the Borrowers to be a Variable Price Auction, this Section 5 shall be applicable and the Auction shall constitute a “Variable Price Auction”. Based on the Reply Discounts and Reply Amounts received by the Tender Agent in such Variable Price Auction, the Tender Agent, in consultation with the Borrowers, will determine the applicable discount (the “Variable Price Auction Applicable Discount” and, together with the Modified Dutch Auction Applicable Discount and the Fixed Discount, each an “Applicable Discount”) for the Auction, which shall be, for each Lender submitting a Return Bid constituting a Variable Price Qualifying Bid (as defined below), the Reply Discount identified by such Lender with respect to the portion of its Reply Bid that is a Variable Price Qualifying Bid. The Borrowers shall accept Return Bids (each a “Variable Price Qualifying Bid”), giving priority to Return Bids with the highest Reply Discounts, until the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term B Loans for which the Borrowers have received Return Bids within the Discount Range) has been reached. Return Bids (including any component bid thereof) specifying the highest Reply Discounts within the Discount Range will be given absolute priority, commencing with the Reply Amounts which are offered at the highest of such Reply Discounts (i.e. a Reply Discount of 20% is higher than a Reply Discount of 19%) and followed by Reply Amounts which are offered at each lesser Reply Discount within the Discount Range in descending order towards par until the aggregate principal amount of Term B Loans covered by Return Bids within the Discount Range reaches the Auction Amount or, if less, the aggregate amount of Term B Loans for which the Borrowers have received Return Bids within the Discount Range.
     (b) Identification of Accepted Amounts and Acceptance of Bids; Proration. Once the Variable Price Auction Applicable Discount for each Variable Price Auction is determined, the Borrowers shall accept Return Bids (including any component bid thereof) (and commensurately identify for prepayment those Term B Loans (or the respective portions thereof) (“Variable Price Auction Qualifying Loans”)) offered by the Lenders whose Return Bids (or component bids thereof) constitute Variable Price Auction Qualifying Bids, each at the Variable Price Auction Applicable Discount applicable to such Lender’s Return Bids which constitute Variable Price Auction Qualifying Bids; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Variable Price Auction Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest and premium, if any, payable thereon) would exceed the Auction Amount for such Variable Price Auction, the Borrowers shall accept Return Bids for prepayment of Variable Price Auction Qualifying Loans each at the Variable Price Auction Applicable Discount, based on the respective principal amounts so offered by applying such respective principal amounts (up to such Auction Amount (such amount being referred to as the “Variable Price Auction Cap Amount”)) sequentially (commencing with the Variable Price Qualifying Bids which are offered at the highest of such Variable Price Auction Applicable Discount (i.e. a Variable Price Auction Applicable Discount of 20% is higher than a Variable Price Auction Applicable Discount of 19%) and followed by Variable Price Qualifying Bids which are offered at each lesser Variable Price Auction Applicable Discount in descending order towards par (all such Variable Price Auction Qualifying Bids within any single level of Variable Price Auction Applicable Discount constituting a “Variable Bid Class”)). Such application shall be made at each Variable Bid Class level without proration unless and until the aggregate amount of Variable Price Auction Qualifying Loans exceed the Variable Price Auction Cap Amount, in which case the aggregate Reply Amounts covered by Return Bids (or component bids thereof) within the Variable Bid Class for which the highest level of Variable Price Auction Applicable Discount applies shall be pro-rated to the extent necessary so

iv


 

Exhibit A to Seventh Amendment
Annex I to Credit Agreement
that the aggregate of all Return Bids accepted for prepayment under such Variable Price Auction do not exceed the Variable Price Auction Cap Amount.
     6. Fixed Price Auction Procedures. In the event the Auction being conducted has been specified by the Borrowers to be a Fixed Price Auction, this Section 6 shall be applicable and the Auction shall constitute a “Fixed Price Auction”. The Borrowers shall accept Return Bids until the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term B Loans for which the Borrowers have received Return Bids at the Fixed Discount) has been reached. The Borrowers shall commensurately identify for prepayment those Term B Loans (or the respective portions thereof) (“Fixed Price Auction Qualifying Loans” and, together with Modified Dutch Auction Qualifying Loans and Variable Price Auction Qualifying Loans, “Qualifying Loans”) offered by the Lenders and satisfying the provisions of Section 3 above applicable to Fixed Price Auctions (together with a Modified Dutch Auction Qualifying Bid and a Variable Price Qualifying Bid, each a “Qualifying Bid”), each at the Fixed Discount; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Fixed Price Auction Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest and premium, if any, payable thereon) would exceed the Auction Amount for such Fixed Price Auction, the Borrowers shall accept Return Bids for prepayment of Fixed Price Auction Qualifying Loans each at the Fixed Discount, based on the respective principal amounts so offered by applying such respective principal amounts (up to such Auction Amount) pro-rata to the extent necessary so that the aggregate of all Return Bids accepted for prepayment under such Fixed Price Auction do not exceed such Auction Amount.
     7. Notification Procedures.
          (a) The Tender Agent will calculate and post the Applicable Discount and proration factor onto an internet site (including IntraLinks or such other electronic workspace reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers) in accordance with the Tender Agent’s standard dissemination practices promptly after the Return Bids were due (as extended, if applicable).
          (b) The Borrowers shall deliver irrevocable notice (each a “Term B Loan Auction Prepayment Notice”) to the Tender Agent no later than 11:00 a.m., three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such Term B Loan Auction Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Term B Loan Auction Prepayment and the Applicable Discount for each Lender as calculated by the Tender Agent; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Credit Agreement if a Term B Loan Auction Prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on an interest payment date. Upon receipt of any Term B Loan Auction Prepayment Notice the Tender Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender and the Administrative Agent thereof. If any Term B Loan Auction Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the amount prepaid.
     8. Additional Procedures. Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Borrowers may withdraw an Auction only in the event that, as of such time, no Return Bid has been received by the Tender Agent. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Lender of a Return Bid, such Lender will not have any withdrawal rights. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Tender Agent may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled by a Lender.
          All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term B Loans that are the subject of an Auction may be determined by the Tender Agent, in consultation with the Borrowers, and their determination will be final and binding. The Tender Agent’s interpretation of the

v


 

Exhibit A to Seventh Amendment
Annex I to Credit Agreement
terms and conditions of the Offer Documents, in consultation with the Borrowers, will be final and binding.
     9. Borrowers. The Borrowers may elect to cause any individual Borrower to initiate any Auction, in which case such individual Borrower shall take the actions and make the prepayments, if any, required in connection therewith.
          This Annex I shall not require the Borrowers to initiate any Auction.
