CENTURY PROPERTIES FUND XVII NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note A - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Century Properties Fund XVII (the "Partnership" or the "Registrant") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Fox Capital Management Corporation, the managing general partner of the Partnership, (the "Managing General Partner"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The Managing General Partner is an affiliate of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for services and reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. Affiliates of the Managing General Partner are entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts from all of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $295,000 and $316,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which is included in operating expenses. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner received reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $107,000 and $147,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which is included in investment properties and general and administrative expenses. Included in these amounts are fees related to construction management services provided by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of approximately $17,000 and $48,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The fees are calculated based upon a percentage of current year additions to investment properties. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, for managing the affairs of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner is entitled to receive a Partnership management fee equal to 10% of the Partnership's adjusted cash from operations as distributed. Approximately $13,000 in Partnership management fees were paid along with distributions from operations made during the six months ended June 30, 2003. There were no Partnership management fees paid during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as there were no distributions from operations. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has made available to the Partnership a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by the Partnership. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner exceeded this credit limit and advanced the Partnership approximately $2,226,000 to fund the redevelopment project at Peakview Place Apartments and has committed to fund additional redevelopment costs of approximately $1,650,000 (as discussed in "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation"), approximately $425,000 to fund property taxes at The Village in the Woods Apartments and Cooper's Pond Apartments, and approximately $263,000 to fund capital improvements and operating expenses at The Lodge Apartments. These advances bear interest at the prime rate plus 2% (6.00% at June 30, 2004). Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $51,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Partnership made payments of approximately $1,524,000 on the advances and approximately $22,000 in accrued interest, from proceeds from the second mortgage obtained on Cooper's Pond Apartments (as discussed in Note D). At June 30, 2004, the total outstanding loans and accrued interest due to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner is approximately $1,821,000 and is included in due to affiliates. The Partnership expects to repay these advances and related accrued interest from cash from operations during 2005. There were no such advances made to the Partnership during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The Partnership insures its properties up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers' compensation, property casualty and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $101,000 and $175,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Note C - Casualty Event In October 2003, there was a fire at Cooper's Pond Apartments, causing minor damage to seven units. The property suffered damages of approximately $33,000. Insurance proceeds of approximately $23,000 were received during the six months ended June 30, 2004 to cover the damages. After writing off the undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $4,000, the Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $19,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Note D - Second Mortgage Note Payable On June 7, 2004 the Partnership obtained a second mortgage loan on Cooper's Pond Apartments in the amount of $2,540,000. The second mortgage requires monthly payments of interest beginning August 1, 2004 until the loan matures July 1, 2007, with interest being equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus 300 basis points (4.36% at June 30, 2004). In connection with obtaining the second mortgage, loan costs of approximately $74,000 were capitalized and are included in other assets. In connection with the new financing, the Partnership agreed to certain modifications on the existing mortgage loan encumbering Cooper's Pond Apartments. The modification of terms consisted of an interest rate of 8.77%, a monthly payment of approximately $62,000 on July 1, 2004, and monthly payments of approximately $59,000, commencing August 1, 2004 through its maturity of July 1, 2014, with a balloon payment of approximately $6,655,000 due at maturity. The previous terms consisted of monthly payments of approximately $72,000 with a stated interest rate of 8.47% through its maturity of March 1, 2020, at which time the loan was scheduled to be fully amortized. Note E - Contingencies In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, its Managing General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purported to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) that are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain Managing General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint (the "Heller action") was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action, captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution. On January 8, 2003, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement in proposed settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action. In general terms, the proposed settlement provides for certification for settlement purposes of a settlement class consisting of all limited partners in this Partnership and others (the "Partnerships") as of December 20, 2002, the dismissal with prejudice and release of claims in the Nuanes and Heller litigation, payment by AIMCO of $9.9 million (which shall be distributed to settlement class members after deduction of attorney fees and costs of class counsel and certain costs of settlement) and up to $1 million toward the cost of independent appraisals of the Partnerships' properties by a Court appointed appraiser. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has also agreed to make at least one round of tender offers to purchase all of the partnership interests in the Partnerships within one year of final approval, if it is granted, and to provide partners with the independent appraisals at the time of these tenders. The proposed settlement also provided for the limitation of the allowable costs which the Managing General Partner or its affiliates will charge the Partnerships in connection with this litigation and imposes limits on the class counsel fees and costs in this litigation. On April 11, 2003, notice was distributed to limited partners providing the details of the proposed settlement. On June 13, 2003, the Court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector ("Objector") filed an appeal seeking to vacate and/or reverse the order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On November 24, 2003, the Objector filed an application requesting the Court order AIMCO to withdraw settlement tender offers it had commenced, refrain from making further offers pending the appeal and auction any units tendered to third parties, contending that the offers did not conform with the terms of the Settlement. Counsel for the Objector (on behalf of another investor) had alternatively requested the Court take certain action purportedly to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement. On December 18, 2003, the Court heard oral argument on the motions and denied them both in their entirety. On January 28, 2004, Objector filed his opening brief in his pending appeal. On April 23, 2004, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates filed a response brief in support of the settlement and the judgment thereto. Plaintiffs have also filed a brief in support of the settlement. On June 4, 2004, Objector filed a reply to the briefs submitted by the Managing General Partner and Plaintiffs. No hearing has been scheduled in the matter. The Managing General Partner does not anticipate that any costs to the Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material to the Partnership's overall operations. On August 8, 2003 AIMCO Properties L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, was served with a complaint in the United States District Court, District of Columbia alleging that AIMCO Properties L.P. willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. On March 5, 2004 Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint also naming NHP Management Company, which is also an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. The complaint is styled as a Collective Action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in responding to a call while "on-call". The defendants have filed an answer to the amended complaint denying the substantive allegations. Some discovery has taken place and settlement negotiations continue. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. Similarly, the Managing General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment properties that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business. As previously disclosed, the Central Regional Office of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission is conducting an investigation relating to certain matters. AIMCO believes the areas of investigation include AIMCO's miscalculated monthly net rental income figures in third quarter 2003, forecasted guidance, accounts payable, rent concessions, vendor rebates, and capitalization of expenses and payroll. AIMCO is cooperating fully. AIMCO does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. Similarly, the Managing General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The matters discussed in this report contain certain forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation: national and local economic conditions; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Registrant and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Registrant operates; financing risks, including the risk that cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting and defending claims and any adverse outcomes, and possible environmental liabilities. Readers should carefully review the Registrant's financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the documents the Registrant files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership's investment properties consist of five apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003: Average Occupancy Property 2004 2003 Peakview Place Apartments (formerly Cherry Creek Gardens Apartments) 74% 73% Englewood, Colorado Creekside Apartments 86% 86% Denver, Colorado The Lodge Apartments (1) 86% 75% Denver, Colorado The Village in the Woods Apartments (2) 75% 90% Cypress, Texas Cooper's Pond Apartments 93% 92% Tampa, Florida (1) The Managing General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at The Lodge Apartments to competitive pricing and increased marketing and resident retention efforts. (2) The Managing General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at The Village in the Woods Apartments to the soft rental market in the Houston area. The Partnership's financial results are dependent upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment properties, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment properties, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, the Managing General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions, accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors which are outside the control of the Partnership such as the local economic climate and weather can adversely or positively impact the Partnership's financial results. Results of Operations The Partnership's net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $551,000 and $804,000, respectively, as compared to approximately $324,000 and $533,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. The increase in net loss for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 is due to a decrease in total revenues and an increase in total expenses. The decrease in total revenues for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily due to a decrease in rental income. The decrease in total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was partially offset by an increase in other income. The decrease in total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was partially offset by an increase in other income and the recognition of a casualty gain. The decrease in rental income is primarily due to decreases in occupancy at The Village in the Woods Apartments and average rental rates at four of the Partnership's investment properties, partially offset by reduced bad debt expense and increases in occupancy at Cooper's Pond Apartments and The Lodge Apartments and the average rental rate at The Village in the Woods Apartments. The increase in other income for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily due to an increase in utility reimbursements at all of the properties, partially offset by a decrease in late charges at Peakview Place Apartments, The Lodge Apartments, and The Village in the Woods Apartments. In October 2003, there was a fire at Cooper's Pond Apartments, causing minor damage to seven units. The property suffered damages of approximately $33,000. Insurance proceeds of approximately $23,000 were received during the six months ended June 30, 2004 to cover the damages. After writing off the undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $4,000, the Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $19,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in total expenses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 is due to an increase in operating expenses, partially offset by decreases in interest, depreciation, property tax and general and administrative expenses. The increase in operating expenses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily due to increases in utilities at Peakview Place Apartments, Creekside Apartments, and The Lodge Apartments, and payroll related and contract maintenance expenses at all of the Partnership's investment properties, partially offset by a decrease in property management fees as a result of the decrease in rental income. The decrease in interest expense for both periods is primarily due to scheduled principal payments made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership's investment properties, which reduced the carrying balance of the loans, and interest capitalized at Peakview Place Apartments, due to a redevelopment project at the property which has required 23 units to be vacated at June 30, 2004 in order to expedite reconstruction (as discussed below), partially offset by an increase in interest expense on advances from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. The decrease in depreciation expense for both periods is primarily a result of property improvements and replacements placed into service at Cooper's Pond Apartments, Creekside Apartments, and The Lodge Apartments in previous years becoming fully depreciated in 2004. The decrease in property tax expense is primarily due to a decrease in the assessed value of Peakview Place Apartments, Creekside Apartments, and The Lodge Apartments. The decrease in general and administrative expense is due to decreases in management reimbursements to the Managing General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement and professional expenses associated with the administration of the Partnership. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 are costs associated with the quarterly communications with the investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement. During 2003, the Managing General Partner began a major redevelopment project at Peakview Place Apartments. The property has had difficulty staying competitive and needs to be updated. Therefore, in an effort to increase occupancy and become competitive in the local market, a significant redevelopment project has been started and is expected to be completed in May 2005. During the construction period, certain expenses are being capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the property. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, approximately $100,000 of interest, approximately $11,000 of real estate taxes, and approximately $28,000 of other construction period costs were capitalized. Liquidity and Capital Resources At June 30, 2004, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $565,000, compared to approximately $413,000 at June 30, 2003. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $132,000, from December 31, 2003, is due to approximately $3,267,000 of cash provided by financing activities, partially offset by approximately $2,911,000 of cash used in investing activities and approximately $224,000 of cash used in operating activities. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of advances from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner and proceeds from a second mortgage note obtained on Cooper's Pond Apartments, partially offset by payments of principal made on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership's properties, loan costs paid, and payments on advances from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements and net deposits to escrow accounts maintained by the mortgage lenders, partially offset by insurance proceeds received related to the casualty at Cooper's Pond Apartments. The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has made available to the Partnership a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by the Partnership. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner exceeded this credit limit and advanced the Partnership approximately $2,226,000 to fund the redevelopment project at Peakview Place Apartments and has committed to fund additional redevelopment costs of approximately $1,650,000 (as discussed below) approximately $425,000 to fund property taxes at The Village in the Woods Apartments and Cooper's Pond Apartments, and approximately $263,000 to fund capital improvements and operating expenses at The Lodge Apartments. These advances bear interest at the prime rate plus 2% (6.00% at June 30, 2004). Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $51,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Partnership made payments of approximately $1,524,000 on the advances and approximately $22,000 in accrued interest, from proceeds from the second mortgage obtained on Cooper's Pond Apartments (as discussed below). At June 30, 2004, the total outstanding loans and accrued interest due to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner is approximately $1,821,000 and is included in due to affiliates. There were no such advances made to the Partnership during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the properties to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The Managing General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates or suggests additional compliance measures with regard to governance, disclosure, audit and other areas. In light of these changes, the Partnership expects that it will incur higher expenses related to compliance, including increased legal and audit fees. Capital improvements planned for each of the Partnership's properties are detailed below. Peakview Place Apartments During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Partnership completed approximately $2,160,000 of capital improvements arising from the redevelopment of the property, which includes capitalization of construction period interest of approximately $100,000, real estate taxes of approximately $11,000 and other construction period costs of $28,000. Approximately 23 units were in redevelopment and not in service at June 30, 2004. Additional capital improvements of approximately $90,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004 consisted primarily of water heater and furniture upgrades. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. The property is currently undergoing a redevelopment project in order to become more competitive with other properties in the area in the effort to increase occupancy at the property. Based on current redevelopment plans, the Managing General Partner anticipates the redevelopment to be complete in May 2005 at a total cost of approximately $4,450,000, approximately $640,000 of which was completed during 2003. The project is being funded by advances from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. Approximately $2,226,000 was advanced during the six months ended June 30, 2004 to pay for redevelopment project costs. The Partnership is currently evaluating the capital improvement needs of the property for 2004 and currently expects to complete an additional $73,000 for expenditures not related to property redevelopment and approximately $800,000 for property redevelopment as mentioned above. Additional improvements may be considered and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property. Creekside Apartments During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Partnership completed approximately $212,000 of capital improvements at Creekside Apartments, consisting primarily of exterior painting, structural improvements, water heater upgrades, and floor covering replacement. These improvements were funded from replacement reserves and operating cash flow. The Partnership evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property during the year and currently expects to complete an additional $80,000 in capital improvements during the remainder of 2004. Additional improvements may be considered and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property. The Lodge Apartments During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Partnership completed approximately $334,000 of capital improvements at The Lodge Apartments, consisting primarily of exterior painting, structural improvements, major landscaping, and floor covering replacement. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. The Partnership evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property during the year and currently expects to complete an additional $47,000 in capital improvements during the remainder of 2004. Additional improvements may be considered and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property. The Village in the Woods Apartments During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Partnership completed approximately $159,000 of capital improvements at The Village in the Woods Apartments, consisting primarily of structural improvements, exterior painting, and floor covering replacement. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow. The Partnership evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property during the year and currently expects to complete an additional $168,000 in capital improvements during the remainder of 2004. Additional improvements may be considered and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property. Cooper's Pond Apartments During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Partnership completed approximately $136,000 of capital improvements at Cooper's Pond Apartments, consisting primarily of structural improvements and floor covering replacement. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and insurance proceeds. The Partnership evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property during the year and currently expects to complete an additional $147,000 in capital improvements during the remainder of 2004. Additional improvements may be considered and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property. The additional capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or from Partnership reserves. To the extent that such budgeted capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term. The Partnership's assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. On June 7, 2004 the Partnership obtained a second mortgage loan on Cooper's Pond Apartments in the amount of $2,540,000. The second mortgage requires monthly payments of interest beginning August 1, 2004 until the loan matures July 1, 2007, with interest being equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus 300 basis points (4.36% at June 30, 2004). In connection with obtaining the second mortgage, loan costs of approximately $74,000 were capitalized and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet included in "Item 1. Financial Statements". In connection with the new financing, the Partnership agreed to certain modifications on the existing mortgage loan encumbering Cooper's Pond Apartments. The modification of terms consisted of an interest rate of 8.77%, a monthly payment of approximately $62,000 on July 1, 2004, and monthly payments of approximately $59,000, commencing August 1, 2004 through its maturity of July 1, 2014, with a balloon payment of approximately $6,655,000 due at maturity. The previous terms consisted of monthly payments of approximately $72,000 with a stated interest rate of 8.47% through its maturity of March 1, 2020, at which time the loan was scheduled to be fully amortized. The remaining mortgage indebtedness of approximately $36,795,000 is amortized over varying periods. The debt encumbering Creekside Apartments and The Lodge Apartments matures in September 2008, at which time balloon payments totaling approximately $11,594,000 will be due. The debt encumbering Peakview Place Apartments and The Village in the Woods Apartments matures in 2020 at which time the loans are scheduled to be fully amortized. The Managing General Partner will attempt to refinance the indebtedness encumbering Cooper's Pond Apartments, Creekside Apartments, and The Lodge Apartments and/or sell the properties prior to their maturity dates. If the properties cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such properties through foreclosure. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the term of the Partnership is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2006. Accordingly, prior to such date the Partnership will need to either sell the investment properties or extend the term of the Partnership. The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands, except per unit data):
Six Months Per Limited Six Months Per Limited Ended Partnership Ended Partnership June 30, 2004 Unit June 30, 2003 Unit Operations $ -- $ -- $ 132 $ 1.55
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, the availability of cash reserves, and the timing of debt maturities, refinancings, and/or property sales. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after required capital improvement expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners during 2004 or subsequent periods. Other In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 47,922 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 63.90% of the outstanding Units at June 30, 2004. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 63.90% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to influence all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. However, DeForest Ventures I L.P., from whom AIMCO, through its merger with Insignia Financial Group, Inc., acquired 25,833.5 (approximately 34.45%) of its Units, had agreed for the benefit of third party unitholders, that it would vote such Units: (i) against any increase in compensation payable to the Managing General Partner or to its affiliates; and (ii) on all other matters submitted by it or its affiliates, in proportion to the votes cast by third party unit holders. Except for the foregoing, no other limitations are imposed on AIMCO and its affiliates right to vote each Unit held. Although the Managing General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the Managing General Partner, as managing general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Managing General Partner to AIMCO, as its sole stockholder. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Partnership's investment properties are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless considered impaired. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may be impaired, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the property. Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Partnership's investment properties. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the national, regional and local economic climate; local conditions, such as an oversupply of multifamily properties; competition from other available multifamily property owners and changes in market rental rates. Any adverse changes in these factors could cause impairment of the Partnership's assets. Revenue Recognition The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. Rental income attributable to leases is recognized monthly as it is earned. The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants. The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Any concessions given at the inception of the lease are amortized over the life of the lease. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Partnership's management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. (b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, its Managing General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purported to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) that are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain Managing General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint (the "Heller action") was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action, captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution. On January 8, 2003, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement in proposed settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action. In general terms, the proposed settlement provides for certification for settlement purposes of a settlement class consisting of all limited partners in this Partnership and others (the "Partnerships") as of December 20, 2002, the dismissal with prejudice and release of claims in the Nuanes and Heller litigation, payment by AIMCO of $9.9 million (which shall be distributed to settlement class members after deduction of attorney fees and costs of class counsel and certain costs of settlement) and up to $1 million toward the cost of independent appraisals of the Partnerships' properties by a Court appointed appraiser. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has also agreed to make at least one round of tender offers to purchase all of the partnership interests in the Partnerships within one year of final approval, if it is granted, and to provide partners with the independent appraisals at the time of these tenders. The proposed settlement also provided for the limitation of the allowable costs which the Managing General Partner or its affiliates will charge the Partnerships in connection with this litigation and imposes limits on the class counsel fees and costs in this litigation. On April 11, 2003, notice was distributed to limited partners providing the details of the proposed settlement. On June 13, 2003, the Court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector ("Objector") filed an appeal seeking to vacate and/or reverse the order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On November 24, 2003, the Objector filed an application requesting the Court order AIMCO to withdraw settlement tender offers it had commenced, refrain from making further offers pending the appeal and auction any units tendered to third parties, contending that the offers did not conform with the terms of the Settlement. Counsel for the Objector (on behalf of another investor) had alternatively requested the Court take certain action purportedly to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement. On December 18, 2003, the Court heard oral argument on the motions and denied them both in their entirety. On January 28, 2004, Objector filed his opening brief in his pending appeal. On April 23, 2004, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates filed a response brief in support of the settlement and the judgment thereto. Plaintiffs have also filed a brief in support of the settlement. On June 4, 2004, Objector filed a reply to the briefs submitted by the Managing General Partner and Plaintiffs. No hearing has been scheduled in the matter. The Managing General Partner does not anticipate that any costs to the Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material to the Partnership's overall operations. On August 8, 2003 AIMCO Properties L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, was served with a complaint in the United States District Court, District of Columbia alleging that AIMCO Properties L.P. willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. On March 5, 2004 Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint also naming NHP Management Company, which is also an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. The complaint is styled as a Collective Action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in responding to a call while "on-call". The defendants have filed an answer to the amended complaint denying the substantive allegations. Some discovery has taken place and settlement negotiations continue. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. Similarly, the Managing General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

Exhibit 10.4 Old Freddie Mac Loan Number: 002682850 New Freddie Mac Loan Number: 002709554 Cooper's Pond Apartments ALLONGE AND AMENDMENT TO MULTIFAMILY NOTE (Cooper's Pond Apartments) ALLONGE AND AMENDMENT dated effective as of June 7, 2004 (this "Allonge"), to the Multifamily Note dated as of February 11, 2000 (the "Note"), in the original principal amount of Eight Million Three Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($8,300,000.00), executed by CENTURY PROPERTIES FUND XVII, a California limited partnership, doing business in Florida as Century Properties Fund XVII, Ltd., as "Borrower", to the order of GMAC COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE CORPORATION, a California corporation ("Original Lender"), and assigned by Original Lender to and currently held by the FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION as "Lender". For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency are hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Lender hereby amend the Note as follows: 1. From and after the effective date of this Allonge until the Initial Maturity Date, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Note at the annual rate of eight and seventy-seven hundredths percent (8.77%); 2. As of the effective date of this Allonge, the unpaid principal balance of the Note is $7,487,714.20. The monthly installment of principal and interest payable by Borrower on July 1, 2004, shall be in the amount of $61,703.74, reflecting interest at the rate originally provided for in the Note from June 1, 2004 to the effective date of this Allonge and interest at the rate provided for in section 1 of this Allonge for the remainder of the month of June 2004. Paragraph 3(b) of the Note is modified to provide that beginning August 1, 2004, and on the first day of each consecutive and successive month thereafter until the Maturity Date, Borrower will pay monthly installment of principal and interest under the Note in the amount of Fifty-Nine Thousand One Hundred Sixty-One and 73/100 Dollars ($59,161.73). 3. The "Maturity Date" provided for in Paragraph 3(c) of the Note is revised to July 1, 2014, subject to the provisions of new Paragraph 22 of the Note set forth below. 4. Paragraph 10(b) of the Note is revised by deleting "one hundred eighty (180) days" and substituting "zero (0) days". 5. Subparagraph 10(c)(1) of the Note is revised to provide that the Yield Maintenance Period will end on July 1, 2014. 6. For the purposes of computing the Assumed Reinvestment Rate under Paragraph 10 of the Note, the applicable U.S. Treasury Security is revised to the 11.25% U.S. Treasury Security due February 15, 2015. 7. A new Paragraph 22 is added to the Note as follows: 22. Extension of Maturity Date. So long as the Maturity Date has not occurred prior to July 1, 2014 (for the purposes of this Paragraph 22, the "Initial Maturity Date"), the Indebtedness is not paid in full on the Initial Maturity Date, and no other Event of Default, or event or circumstances which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, could constitute an Event of Default, exists on the Initial Maturity Date, then the date for full payment of the Indebtedness automatically shall be extended for a period of twelve (12) months (the "Extension Period") until July 1, 2015, or any earlier date on which the unpaid principal balance of this Note becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise (the "Extended Maturity Date"). Principal and interest shall be payable during the Extension Period, in immediately available funds, as follows: (a) On the Initial Maturity Date, Borrower must make the regularly scheduled monthly payment set forth in Paragraph 3(b). (b) During the Extension Period, interest will accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the "Adjustable Interest Rate" (hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding anything in this Note that may be to the contrary, during the Extension Period, interest under this Note shall be computed, due and payable on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the month for which interest is being calculated (divide the annual interest by 360, and multiply the quotient by the number of days in the month for which interest is being calculated), notwithstanding that the amount of any monthly payment of principal and interest may be calculated on a "30/360" basis. The amount payable as interest, or allocated to interest, will vary depending upon the number of days in the month for which interest is being calculated, in addition to varying as the Adjustable Interest Rate varies. (c) During the Extension Period, consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest shall be payable on the first day of each month beginning on August 1, 2014, and continuing during the Extension Period until the Extended Maturity Date. The date on which a monthly installment of principal and interest is due pursuant to this Section 23(c) is referred to as that installment's "Installment Due Date". The amount of the monthly installment of principal and interest payable on an Installment Due Date, and the portion thereof attributable to principal and the portion thereof attributable to interest, shall be calculated so as to equal the monthly payment amount which would be payable on the Installment Due Date, and allocation thereof between principal and interest, as if the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the first day of the calendar month preceding the Installment Due Date, together with interest thereon at the Adjustable Interest Rate in effect on the first day of the calendar month preceding the Installment Due Date, were to be fully amortized (using an actual/360 method of computing interest) in equal monthly payments paid on the first day of each calendar month over an assumed amortization period commencing on the first day of the calendar month preceding the Installment Due Date and ending on the first day of the 360th full calendar month following the date of this Note. Alternatively, Lender may calculate the monthly installment amount on a "30/360" basis but allocate first to interest the amount due using an actual/360 method of computing interest and the balance to principal. Lender shall provide Borrower with Notice of the amount of each monthly installment due hereunder. (d) Any accrued interest remaining past due for 30 days or more may, at Lender's discretion, be added to and become part of the unpaid principal balance and shall bear interest at the rate or rates specified in this Note, and any reference to "accrued interest" shall refer to accrued interest which has not become part of the unpaid principal balance. All unpaid Indebtedness shall be due and payable in full on the Extended Maturity Date. The unpaid principal balance shall continue to bear interest after the Extended Maturity Date at the Default Rate set forth in Paragraph 22(j) until and including the date on which it is paid in full. (e) Any regularly scheduled monthly installment payable pursuant to Paragraph 22(c) that is received by Lender before the Installment Due Date shall be deemed to have been received on the Installment Due Date solely for the purpose of calculating interest due. (f) If Lender at any time determines that it has miscalculated the Adjustable Interest Rate or the amount of any monthly installment, then Lender shall give Notice to Borrower of the corrected Adjustable Interest Rate and corrected installments. If Borrower has paid one or more monthly installments calculated at the incorrect Adjustable Interest Rate or calculated incorrectly and (i) if the corrected Adjustable Interest Rate or corrected installment results in an increase in the applicable monthly payment(s), Borrower, within 10 calendar days after receipt of the Notice from Lender, shall pay to Lender any sums that Borrower would have otherwise been obligated to pay to Lender under this Note had the amount of the Adjustable Interest Rate or monthly installment not been miscalculated, or (ii) if the corrected Adjustable Interest Rate or monthly installment results in an overpayment having been made by Borrower, then the amount of the overpayment shall be credited to the next installment(s) of principal and interest due under this Note (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such overpayment shall be credited against any amount owing by Borrower to Lender). (g) In accordance with this Note, interest charged hereunder cannot exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law. The rate of interest which results in the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law is referred to as the "Maximum Rate". If the Applicable Interest Rate at any time exceeds the Maximum Rate, resulting in the charging of interest hereunder to be limited to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Applicable Interest Rate shall not reduce the rate at which interest under this Note accrues until the total amount of interest accrued hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have accrued had the Applicable Interest Rate at all times been in effect. (h) During the Extension Period, Borrower may pay the entire unpaid Indebtedness on any Business Day designated as the date for such payment in a written notice from Borrower to Lender given at least 30 days prior to the date of such payment. No prepayment premium will be payable by Borrower during the Extension Period. (i) The following defined terms are added to this Note: (i) "Adjustable Interest Rate" means the variable per annum rate at which interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note. The Adjustable Interest Rate applicable during any Interest Adjustment Period will equal the Index Rate, truncated at the fifth (5th) decimal place if necessary, for such Interest Adjustment Period, plus the Margin. (ii) "Margin" means two and one-half (2.5) percentage points (250 basis points). (iii) "Index Rate" means, for any Interest Adjustment Period, the Reference Bill(R) Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period. However, if Freddie Mac has not conducted a Reference Bill auction within the 60-calendar day period prior to the first day of an Interest Adjustment Period, the Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period will be the LIBOR Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period minus one-tenth of one percentage point. (iv) "Interest Adjustment Period" means each successive one calendar month beginning on the Initial Maturity Date and continuing until the entire Indebtedness is paid in full. (v) "LIBOR Index" means the British Bankers Association's (BBA) one month LIBOR Rate for United States Dollar (may be displayed as "USD") deposits, as displayed on the LIBOR Index Page used to establish the LIBOR Index Rate, as more fully set forth below.

The LIBOR Index Rate for the first Interest Adjustment Period means the British Bankers Association's (BBA) LIBOR Rate for the LIBOR Index, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the second London Banking Day preceding the first day of the month in which the first Interest Adjustment Period begins, as such LIBOR Rate is displayed on the LIBOR Index Page. The "LIBOR Index Page" is the Bloomberg L.P., page "BBAM", or such other page for the LIBOR Index as may replace page BBAM on that service, or at the option of Lender (i) the applicable page for the LIBOR Index on another service which electronically transmits or displays BBA LIBOR Rates, or (ii) any publication of LIBOR rates available from the BBA. In the event the BBA ceases to set or publish a LIBOR rate/interest settlement rate for the LIBOR Index, Lender will designate an alternative index, and such alternative index shall constitute the LIBOR Index Rate. A "London Banking Day" is any day on which banks are open for dealing in interbank deposits in London. (vii) "Reference Bills(R)" means the unsecured general obligations of Freddie Mac designated by Freddie Mac as "Reference Bills(R)" and having original duration to maturity most comparable to the term of the Reference Bill Index, and issued by Freddie Mac at regularly scheduled auctions. In the event Freddie Mac shall at any time cease to designate any unsecured general obligations of Freddie Mac as "Reference Bills", then at the option of Lender (i) Lender may select from time to time another unsecured general obligation of Freddie Mac having original duration to maturity most comparable to the term of the Reference Bill Index and issued by Freddie Mac at regularly scheduled auctions, and the term "Reference Bills" as used in this Note shall mean such other unsecured general obligations as selected by Lender; or (ii) for any one or more Interest Adjustment Periods, Lender may use the applicable LIBOR Index Rate as the Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period(s). (viii) "Reference Bill Index" means the one-month Reference Bills. One-month Reference Bills have maturities of approximately 30 days. (ix) "Reference Bill Index Rate" means, for any Interest Adjustment Period after the first Interest Adjustment Period, the Money Market Yield for the Reference Bills as established by the Reference Bill auction conducted by Freddie Mac most recently preceding the first day of such Interest Adjustment Period, as displayed on the Reference Bill Index Page. The Reference Bill Index Rate for the first Interest Adjustment Period means the Money Market Yield for the Reference Bills as established by the Reference Bill auction conducted by Freddie Mac most recently preceding the first day of the month in which the first Interest Adjustment Period begins, as displayed on the Reference Bill Index Page. The "Reference Bill Index Page" is the Freddie Mac Debt Securities Web Page (accessed via the Freddie Mac internet site at www.freddiemac.com), or at the option of Lender, any publication of Reference Bills auction results available from Freddie Mac. (j) Notwithstanding anything else in this Note to the contrary, during the Extension Period and thereafter, the Default Rate will equal the greater of the amount calculated pursuant to Paragraph 8 and four (4) percentage points above the Adjustable Interest Rate, but in no event more than the Maximum Rate. (k) Notwithstanding anything in Paragraph 10 that may be deemed to be to the contrary, the Yield Maintenance Period expires on the Initial Maturity Date and any prepayment of principal prior to the Initial Maturity Date must be accompanied by the applicable prepayment premium. (l) If the Extension Period becomes effective, during the Extension Period and thereafter, any references to the "Maturity Date" of the Note in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to mean the Extended Maturity Date. (m) Anything in Section 21 of the Security Instrument to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower will not request that Lender consent to, and Lender will not consent to, a Transfer during the Extension Period. 8. From and after the effective date of this Allonge: (i) references in the Note and the other Loan Documents to the "Security Instrument" mean the Security Instrument dated as of the date of the Note, as amended by the First Amendment to Security Instrument dated as of the date of this Allonge, and (ii) references in the Loan Documents to the "Note" mean the Note as amended by this Allonge. 9. The Note remains in full force and effect and, except as amended hereby, unmodified. This Allonge is not intended as a discharge, substitution or novation of the indebtedness of the Note. Borrower hereby confirms that it has no defenses or offsets of any kind against any of the indebtedness due under the Note as modified and amended by this Allonge. 10.

"Installment Due Date" means, for any monthly installment of interest only or principal and interest, the date on which such monthly installment is due and payable pursuant to Section 3 of this Note. The "First Installment Due Date" under this Note is August 1, 2004. "Interest Adjustment Period" means each successive one calendar month period until the entire Indebtedness is paid in full, except that the first Interest Adjustment Period is the period from the date of this Note through June 30, 2004. Therefore, the second Interest Adjustment Period shall be the period from July 1, 2004 through July 31, 2004, and so on until the entire Indebtedness is paid in full. "Lender" means the holder from time to time of this Note. "LIBOR Index" means the British Bankers Association's (BBA) one (1) month LIBOR Rate for United States Dollar deposits, as displayed on the LIBOR Index Page used to establish the LIBOR Index Rate. "LIBOR Index Rate" means, for any Interest Adjustment Period after the first Interest Adjustment Period, the BBA's LIBOR Rate for the LIBOR Index released by the BBA most recently preceding the first day of such Interest Adjustment Period, as such LIBOR Rate is displayed on the LIBOR Index Page.

In the event the BBA ceases to set or publish a LIBOR rate/interest settlement rate for the LIBOR Index, Lender will designate an alternative index, and such alternative index shall constitute the LIBOR Index Rate. "Loan" means the loan evidenced by this Note. "Lockout Period" is not applicable, there is no Lockout Period under this Note. "Margin" means three (3.00) percentage points (300 basis points). "Maturity Date" means the earlier of (i) July 1, 2007 (the "Scheduled Maturity Date"), and (ii) the date on which the unpaid principal balance of this Note becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise pursuant to the Loan Documents or the exercise by Lender of any right or remedy under any Loan Document. "Maximum Interest Rate" means the rate of interest that results in the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law. "Reference Bills(R)" means the unsecured general obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") designated by Freddie Mac as "Reference Bills(R)" and having original durations to maturity most comparable to the term of the Reference Bill Index, and issued by Freddie Mac at regularly scheduled auctions. In the event Freddie Mac shall at any time cease to designate any unsecured general obligations of Freddie Mac as "Reference Bills", then at the option of Lender (i) Lender may select from time to time another unsecured general obligation of Freddie Mac having original durations to maturity most comparable to the term of the Reference Bill Index and issued by Freddie Mac at regularly scheduled auctions, and the term "Reference Bills" as used in this Note shall mean such other unsecured general obligations as selected by Lender; or (ii) for any one or more Interest Adjustment Periods, Lender may use the applicable LIBOR Index Rate as the Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period(s). "Reference Bill Index" means the one month Reference Bills. One-month reference bills have original durations to maturity of approximately 30 days. "Reference Bill Index Rate" means, for any Interest Adjustment Period after the first Interest Adjustment Period, the Money Market Yield for the Reference Bills as established by the Reference Bill auction conducted by Freddie Mac most recently preceding the first day of such Interest Adjustment Period, as displayed on the Reference Bill Index Page. The Reference Bill Index Rate for the first Interest Adjustment Period means the Money Market Yield for the Reference Bills as established by the Reference Bill auction conducted by Freddie Mac most recently preceding the first day of the month in which the first Interest Adjustment Period begins, as displayed on the Reference Bill Index Page. The "Reference Bill Index Page" is the Freddie Mac Debt Securities Web Page (accessed via the Freddie Mac internet site at www.freddiemac.com), or at the option of Lender, any publication of Reference Bills auction results available from Freddie Mac. However, if Freddie Mac has not conducted a Reference Bill auction within the 60-calendar day period prior to the first day of an Interest Adjustment Period, the Reference Bill Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period will be the LIBOR Index Rate for such Interest Adjustment Period. "Remaining Amortization Period" means, at any point in time, the number of consecutive calendar months equal to the number of months in the Amortization Period minus the number of scheduled monthly installments of principal and interest that have elapsed since the date of this Note.

"Window Period" means the three (3) consecutive calendar month period prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date.

All payments due under this Note shall be payable at c/o GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, 200 Witmer Road, P.O. Box 809, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044, Attn: Servicing-Account Manager, or such other place as may be designated by Notice to Borrower from or on behalf of Lender. 3. Payments. (a) Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the Adjustable Interest Rate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Note. (b) Interest under this Note shall be computed, payable and allocated on the basis of an actual/360 interest calculation schedule (interest is payable for the actual number of days in each month, and each month's interest is calculated by multiplying the unpaid principal amount of this Note as of the first day of the month for which interest in being calculated by the applicable Adjustable Interest Rate, dividing the product by 360, and multiplying the quotient by the number of days in the month for which interest is being calculated). For convenience in determining the amount of a monthly installment of principal and interest under this Note, Lender will use a 30/360 interest calculation payment schedule (each year is treated as consisting of twelve 30-day months). However, as provided above, the portion of the monthly installment actually payable as and allocated to interest will be based upon an actual/360 interest calculation schedule, and the amount of each installment attributable to principal and the amount attributable to interest will vary based upon the number of days in the month for which such installment is paid. Each monthly payment of principal and interest will first be applied to pay in full interest due, and the balance of the monthly payment paid by Borrower will be credited to principal. (c) Unless disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, interest for the period beginning on the date of disbursement and ending on and including the last day of such calendar month shall be payable by Borrower simultaneously with the execution of this Note. If disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, then no payment will be due from Borrower at the time of the execution of this Note. The Installment Due Date for the first monthly installment payment under Section 3(d) of interest only or principal and interest, as applicable, will be the First Installment Due Date set forth in Section 1(a) of this Note. Except as provided in this Section 3(c) and in Section 10, accrued interest will be payable in arrears. (d) Beginning on the First Installment Due Date, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on the Maturity Date, accrued interest only shall be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of the monthly installment of interest only payable pursuant to this Section 3(d) on an Installment Due Date shall equal the product of (i) annual interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the first day of the Interest Adjustment Period immediately preceding the Installment Due Date at the Adjustable Interest Rate in effect for such Interest Adjustment Period, divided by 360, multiplied by (ii) the number of days in such Interest Adjustment Period. (e) All remaining Indebtedness, including all principal and interest, shall be due and payable by Borrower on the Maturity Date. (f) Lender shall provide Borrower with notice, given in the manner specified in the Security Instrument, of the amount of each monthly installment due under this Note. However, if Lender has not provided Borrower with prior notice of the monthly payment due on any Installment Due Date, then Borrower shall pay on that Installment Due Date an amount equal to the monthly installment payment for which Borrower last received notice. If Lender at any time determines that Borrower has paid one or more monthly installments in an incorrect amount because of the operation of the preceding sentence, or because Lender has miscalculated the Adjustable Interest Rate or has otherwise miscalculated the amount of any monthly installment, then Lender shall give notice to Borrower of such determination. If such determination discloses that Borrower has paid less than the full amount due for the period for which the determination was made, Borrower, within 30 calendar days after receipt of the notice from Lender, shall pay to Lender the full amount of the deficiency. If such determination discloses that Borrower has paid more than the full amount due for the period for which the determination was made, then the amount of the overpayment shall be credited to the next installment(s) of interest only or principal and interest, as applicable, due under this Note (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such overpayment shall be credited against any amount owing by Borrower to Lender). (g) All payments under this Note shall be made in immediately available U.S. funds. (h) Any regularly scheduled monthly installment of interest only or principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3 that is received by Lender before the date it is due shall be deemed to have been received on the due date for the purpose of calculating interest due. (i) Any accrued interest remaining past due for 30 days or more, at Lender's discretion, may be added to and become part of the unpaid principal balance of this Note and any reference to "accrued interest" shall refer to accrued interest which has not become part of the unpaid principal balance. Any amount added to principal pursuant to the Loan Documents shall bear interest at the applicable rate or rates specified in this Note and shall be payable with such interest upon demand by Lender and absent such demand, as provided in this Note for the payment of principal and interest. (j) In accordance with Section 14, interest charged under this Note cannot exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. If the Adjustable Interest Rate at any time exceeds the Maximum Interest Rate, resulting in the charging of interest hereunder to be limited to the Maximum Interest Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Adjustable Interest Rate shall not reduce the rate at which interest under this Note accrues below the Maximum Interest Rate until the total amount of interest accrued hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have accrued had the Adjustable Interest Rate at all times been in effect. 4. Application of Payments. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, Lender may apply the amount received to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender's discretion. Borrower agrees that neither Lender's acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender's application of such payment shall constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction. 5. Security. The Indebtedness is secured by, among other things, the Security Instrument, and reference is made to the Security Instrument for other rights of Lender as to collateral for the Indebtedness. 6. Acceleration. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, any prepayment premium payable under Section 10, and all other amounts payable under this Note and any other Loan Document, shall at once become due and payable, at the option of Lender, without any prior notice to Borrower (except if notice is required by applicable law, then after such notice). Lender may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance. For purposes of exercising such option, Lender shall calculate the prepayment premium as if prepayment occurred on the date of acceleration. If prepayment occurs thereafter, lender shall recalculate the prepayment premium as of the actual prepayment date. 7. Late Charge. (a) If any monthly installment of interest or principal and interest or other amount payable under this Note or under the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document is not received in full by Lender within five (5) days after the installment or other amount is due, counting from and including the date such installment or other amount is due (unless applicable law requires a longer period of time before a late charge may be imposed, in which event such longer period shall be substituted), Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately and without demand by Lender, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such installment or other amount due (unless applicable law requires a lesser amount be charged, in which event such lesser amount shall be substituted). (b) Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees that the late charge payable pursuant to this Section represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment. The late charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 8. 8. Default Rate. (a) So long as (i) any monthly installment under this Note remains past due for thirty (30) days or more or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then notwithstanding anything in Section 3 of this Note to the contrary, interest under this Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the Installment Due Date of the first such unpaid monthly installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable, at the Default Rate. (b) From and after the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance shall continue to bear interest at the Default Rate until and including the date on which the entire principal balance is paid in full. (c) Borrower acknowledges that (i) its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, (ii) during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for thirty (30) days or more, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender's ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities; and (iii) it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for thirty (30) days or more or any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender's risk of nonpayment of this Note will be materially increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated for such increased risk. Borrower agrees that the increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of the Borrower's delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan. 9. Limits on Personal Liability. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, Borrower shall have no personal liability under this Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document for the repayment of the Indebtedness or for the performance of any other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and Lender's only recourse for the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and the performance of such obligations shall be Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to any other collateral held by Lender as security for the Indebtedness. This limitation on Borrower's liability shall not limit or impair Lender's enforcement of its rights against any guarantor of the Indebtedness or any guarantor of any other obligations of Borrower. (b) Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the amount of the Base Recourse, plus any other amounts for which Borrower has personal liability under this Section 9. (c) In addition to the Base Recourse, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the repayment of a further portion of the Indebtedness equal to any loss or damage suffered by Lender as a result of the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) Borrower fails to pay to Lender upon demand after an Event of Default all Rents to which Lender is entitled under Section 3(a) of the Security Instrument and the amount of all security deposits collected by Borrower from tenants then in residence. However, Borrower will not be personally liable for any failure described in this subsection (i) if Borrower is unable to pay to Lender all Rents and security deposits as required by the Security Instrument because of a valid order issued in a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding. (ii) Borrower fails to apply all insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds as required by the Security Instrument. However, Borrower will not be personally liable for any failure described in this subsection (ii) if Borrower is unable to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds as required by the Security Instrument because of a valid order issued in a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding. (iii) Borrower fails to comply with Section 14(g) or (h) of the Security Instrument relating to the delivery of books and records, statements, schedules and reports. (iv) Borrower fails to pay when due in accordance with the terms of the Security Instrument the amount of any item below marked "Deferred"; provided however, that if no item is marked "Deferred", this Section 9(c)(iv) shall be of no force or effect [Deferred] Hazard Insurance premiums or other insurance premiums, [Collect] Taxes, [Deferred] water and sewer charges (that could become a lien on the Mortgaged Property), [N/A] ground rents, [Deferred] assessments or other charges (that could become a lien on the Mortgaged Property) (d) In addition to the Base Recourse, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for: (i) the performance of all of Borrower's obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument (relating to environmental matters); (ii) the costs of any audit under Section 14(g) of the Security Instrument; and (iii) any costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of any amount for which Borrower is personally liable under this Section 9, including Attorneys' Fees and Costs and the costs of conducting any independent audit of Borrower's books and records to determine the amount for which Borrower has personal liability. (e) All payments made by Borrower with respect to the Indebtedness and all amounts received by Lender from the enforcement of its rights under the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall be applied first to the portion of the Indebtedness for which Borrower has no personal liability. (f) Notwithstanding the Base Recourse, Borrower shall become personally liable to Lender for the repayment of all of the Indebtedness upon the occurrence of any of the following Events of Default: (i) Borrower's ownership of any property or operation of any business not permitted by Section 33 of the Security Instrument; (ii) a Transfer (including, but not limited to, a lien or encumbrance) that is an Event of Default under Section 21 of the Security Instrument, other than a Transfer consisting solely of the involuntary removal or involuntary withdrawal of a general partner in a limited partnership or a manager in a limited liability company; or (iii) fraud or written material misrepresentation by Borrower or any officer, director, partner, member or employee of Borrower in connection with the application for or creation of the Indebtedness or any request for any action or consent by Lender. (g) To the extent that Borrower has personal liability under this Section 9, Lender may exercise its rights against Borrower personally without regard to whether Lender has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property or any other security, or pursued any rights against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available to Lender under this Note, the Security Instrument, any other Loan Document or applicable law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any action to enforce Borrower's personal liability under this Section 9, Borrower waives any right to set off the value of the Mortgaged Property against such personal liability. 10. Voluntary and Involuntary Prepayments. (a) Any receipt by Lender of principal due under this Note prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, other than principal required to be paid in monthly installments pursuant to Section 3, constitutes a prepayment of principal under this Note. Without limiting the foregoing, any application by Lender, prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, of any proceeds of collateral or other security to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note constitutes a prepayment under this Note. (b) Borrower may not voluntarily prepay any portion of the principal balance of this Note during the Lockout Period, if a Lockout Period is applicable to this Note. However, if any portion of the principal balance of this Note is prepaid during the Lockout Period by reason of the application by Lender of any proceeds of collateral or other security to any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note or following a determination that the prohibition on voluntary prepayments during the Lockout Period is in contravention of applicable law, then Borrower must also pay to Lender upon demand by Lender, a prepayment premium equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount of principal being prepaid. (c) Following the end of the Lockout Period, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on a Business Day designated as the date for such prepayment in a Notice from Borrower to Lender given at least 30 days prior to the date of such prepayment. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower may not voluntarily prepay less than all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. (d) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has agreed that principal may be prepaid other than on the last calendar day of a month only because, for the purposes of the accrual of interest, any prepayment received by Lender on any day other than the last calendar day of the month shall be deemed to have been received on the last calendar day of the month in which the prepayment occurs. (e) In order to voluntarily prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note, Borrower must also pay to Lender, together with the amount of principal being prepaid, (i) all accrued and unpaid interest due under this Note, plus (ii) all other sums due to Lender at the time of such prepayment, plus (ii) any prepayment premium calculated pursuant to Section 10(f). (f) Except as provided in Section 10(g), a prepayment premium shall be due and payable by Borrower in connection with any prepayment of principal under this Note during the Yield Maintenance Period. The prepayment premium shall be 1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid. (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, no prepayment premium shall be payable with respect to (i) any prepayment made during the Window Period, or (ii) any prepayment occurring as a result of the application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award under the Security Instrument, or (iii) any prepayment of the entire principal balance of this Note that occurs on or after the [N/A] Installment Due Date under this Note with the proceeds of a fixed interest rate or fixed-to-float interest rate mortgage loan that is the subject of a binding commitment for purchase between the Freddie Mac and a Freddie Mac-approved Program Plus(R) Seller/Servicer. (h) Unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing, a permitted or required prepayment of less than the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly installments or change the amount of such installments. (i) Borrower recognizes that any prepayment of any of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, whether voluntary or involuntary or resulting from an Event of Default by Borrower, will result in Lender's incurring loss, including reinvestment loss, additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender's ability to meet its commitments to third parties. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon demand damages for the detriment caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages. Borrower therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating prepayment premiums set forth in this Note represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment. Borrower further acknowledges that any lockout and the prepayment premium provisions of this Note are a material part of the consideration for the Loan, and that the terms of this Note are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of the Borrower's voluntary agreement to the lockout and prepayment premium provisions. 11. Costs and Expenses. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Borrower shall pay all expenses and costs, including Attorneys' Fees and Costs incurred by Lender as a result of any default under this Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note, or to enforce the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, including those incurred in post-judgment collection efforts and in any bankruptcy proceeding (including any action for relief from the automatic stay of any bankruptcy proceeding) or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding. 12. Forbearance. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of that or any other right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of any payment after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for Borrower's obligations under this Note shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available to Lender. 13. Waivers. Borrower and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors waive presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, grace, and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness. 14. Loan Charges. Neither this Note nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the Maximum Interest Rate. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower in connection with the Loan is interpreted so that any interest or other charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges provided for in any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of this Note. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of this Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of this Note. 15. Commercial Purpose. Borrower represents that Borrower is incurring the Indebtedness solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family, household, or agricultural purposes. 16. Counting of Days. Except where otherwise specifically provided, any reference in this Note to a period of "days" means calendar days, not Business Days. 17. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by the law of the Property Jurisdiction. 18. Captions. The captions of the Sections of this Note are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Note. 19. Notices; Written Modifications. (a) All Notices, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Note shall be given in accordance with Section 31 of the Security Instrument. (b) Any modification or amendment to this Note shall be ineffective unless in writing signed by the party sought to be charged with such modification or amendment; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer under the terms of the Security Instrument that requires Lender's consent, any or some or all of the Modifications to Multifamily Note set forth in Exhibit A to this Note may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender's option, by Notice to Borrower and the transferee, as a condition of Lender's consent. 20. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Note may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction. The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction over all controversies that shall arise under or in relation to this Note. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. However, nothing in this Note is intended to limit any right that Lender may have to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters arising under this Note in any court of any other jurisdiction. 21. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (A) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS LENDER AND BORROWER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL. 22. State-Specific Provisions. N/A ATTACHED EXHIBIT.
