     The Partnership has heretofore delivered to the Trustee an Indenture dated as of August 7, 1997 (the “Original Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1 dated as of August 12, 1997 (“Supplemental Indenture No. 1”), Supplemental Indenture No. 2 dated as of December 17, 1997 (“Supplemental Indenture No. 2”), Supplemental Indenture No. 3 dated as of May 29, 1998 (“Supplemental Indenture No. 3”), and Supplemental Indenture No. 4 dated as of April 20, 2000 (“Supplemental Indenture No. 4” and together with the Original Indenture, Supplemental Indenture No. 1, Supplemental Indenture No. 2 and Supplemental Indenture No. 3, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance from time to time of senior debt securities of the Partnership (the “Securities”). As a result of the merger of Summit Properties Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Summit”), with and into Camden Summit, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware f/k/a Camden Sparks, Inc. and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Guarantor (“Camden Summit”), Camden Summit succeeded Summit as the general partner of the Partnership.

     The Partnership and the Guarantor intend by this Supplemental Indenture that the Holders of Securities and the Trustee shall receive periodic and other reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of the Guarantor rather than the reports of the Partnership.

     Guarantor shall guarantee all of the Partnership’s obligations under the Securities and the Indenture on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

     Section 902 of the Original Indenture permits the Partnership and the Trustee to enter into this Supplemental Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities affected by this Supplemental Indenture.

     The Board of Directors of Camden Summit, the general partner of the Partnership, has duly adopted resolutions authorizing the Partnership to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.
