FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of ___________, 2000 (the "First
Supplemental Indenture"), between POST APARTMENT HOMES, L.P., a Georgia limited
partnership (the "Issuer"), having its principal offices at 4401 Northside
Parkway, Suite 800, Atlanta, Georgia 30327 and SUNTRUST BANK, a national banking
association organized under the laws of the State of Georgia, as Trustee
hereunder (the "Trustee"), having its Corporate Trust Office at 25 Park Place,
Atlanta, Georgia 30303 to the Indenture (the "Indenture") dated as of September

not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
RECITALS OF THE ISSUER
The Issuer has heretofore delivered to the Trustee an Indenture.
Section 901(5) of the Indenture provides that the Issuer and the
Trustee may enter into an indenture supplemental to the Indenture to change or
eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture, provided that any such change
or elimination shall become effective only when there is no Security Outstanding
of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture
which is entitled to the benefit of such provision. As of the date hereof, no
Securities of any series have been issued under the Indenture.
The Company wishes to amend and restate Section 501(5) of the
Indenture.
All things necessary to make this First Supplemental Indenture a valid
agreement of the Issuer, in accordance with it terms, have been done.
NOW THEREFORE, THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:
For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the
Securities by the holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the
equal proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities, as follows:
1. Amendment and Restatement of Section 501(5)
Section 501(5) of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:
"(5) a default under any evidence of Recourse Indebtedness
of the Issuer, or under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument of
the Issuer (including a default with respect to Securities of any
series other than that series) under which there may be issued or by
which there may be secured any Recourse Indebtedness of the Issuer (or
by any Subsidiary, the repayment of which the Issuer has guaranteed or
for which the Issuer is directly responsible or liable as obligor or
guarantor), whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be
created, which default shall constitute a failure to pay an aggregate
principal amount exceeding $20,000,000 of such indebtedness when due
and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period with
respect thereto and shall have resulted in such indebtedness in an
aggregate principal amount exceeding $20,000,000 becoming or being
declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise
have become due and payable, without such indebtedness having been
<PAGE> 3
discharged, or such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled,
within a period of 10 days after there shall have been given, by
registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the
Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series of a written notice
specifying such default and requiring the Issuer to cause such
indebtedness to be discharged or cause such acceleration to be
rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a "Notice of
Default" hereunder; or"
2. No Other Changes.
Except as expressly supplemented hereby, all of the terms and
provisions of the Indenture shall continue in full force and effect. All
references to "Indenture" in the Indenture shall be understood to refer to the
Indenture, as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture.
3. Ratification of Indenture.
The Indenture, as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, is
in all respects ratified and confirmed, and this First Supplemental Indenture
shall be deemed part of the Indenture in the manner and to the extent herein and
therein provided.
4. Governing Law.
THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT
TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION
OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO AGREES TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS FIRST
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.
5. Severability.
In case any one or more of the provisions in this First Supplemental
Indenture shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in any respect for
any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in
every other respect and of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the provisions
hereof shall be enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.
6. Counterparts.
All parties may sign any number of copies of this First Supplemental
Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together shall
represent the same agreement.
