The Operating Partnership and the Operating General Partner jointly and
severally represent, warrant and certify to the Limited Partners, Xxxxxxxx,
Xxxxx & Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx and Tobin, Carberry, X'Xxxxxx, Xxxxx &
Xxxxxxxx, PC, that, with respect to the Operating Partnership, as of the date
hereof:
1.01 The Operating Partnership is duly organized and in good
standing as a limited partnership pursuant to the laws of the state of its
formation with full power and authority to own the 42-unit rental housing
project located in Meriden, Connecticut known as Xxxxxxx Estates Phase II
Apartments (the "Apartment Complex") and conduct its business; the Operating
Partnership and the Operating General Partner have the power and authority to
enter into and perform this Certification and Agreement; the execution and
delivery of this Certification and Agreement by the Operating Partnership and
the Operating General Partner has been duly and validly authorized by all
necessary action; the execution and delivery of this Certification and
Agreement, the fulfillment of its terms and consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereunder do not and will not conflict with or result in a
violation, breach or termination of or constitute a default under (or would
not result in such a conflict, violation, breach, termination or default with
the giving of notice or passage of time or both) any other agreement,
indenture or instrument by which the Operating Partnership or the Operating
General Partner is bound or any law, regulation, judgment, decree or order
applicable to the Operating Partnership or the Operating General Partner or
any of their respective properties; this Certification and Agreement
constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Operating Partnership and
the Operating General Partner, enforceable against each of them in accordance
with its terms.
1.02 All factual information, including without limitation the
information set forth in Exhibit A hereto, provided to the Limited Partners or
their affiliates either in writing or orally, did not, at the time given, and
does not, on the date hereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under
which they are made. The Operating General Partner has also delivered to the
Limited Partners or their affiliates all documents and other information which
has been requested by such parties. Since the date of the financial
statements for the Operating General Partner previously delivered, there has
been no material adverse change in the financial position of the Operating
General Partner. The estimates of occupancy rates, operating expenses and tax
credits set forth on Exhibit A are reasonable in light of the knowledge and
experience of the Operating General Partner.
1.03 As of the date hereof, each of the representations contained
in Exhibit B attached hereto is true, accurate and complete as to both the
Operating Partnership and the Operating General Partner and as to any of its
affiliates, any of its predecessors and its affiliates' predecessors, any of
its directors, officers, general partners and/or beneficial owners of ten
percent (10%) or more of any class of its equity securities (beneficial
ownership meaning the power to vote or direct the vote and/or the power to
dispose or direct the disposition of such securities), as the case may be, and
any promoters presently connected with it in any capacity.
1.04 Each of the representations and warranties contained in the
Operating Partnership Agreement is true and correct as of the date hereof.
1.05 Each of the covenants and agreements of the Operating
Partnership and the Operating General Partner contained in the Operating
Partnership Agreement has been duly performed to the extent that performance
of any covenant or agreement is required on or prior to the date hereof.
1.06 All conditions to admission of the Limited Partners as
limited partners of the Operating Partnership contained in the Operating
Partnership Agreement have been satisfied.
1.07 No default has occurred and is continuing under the
Operating Partnership Agreement or any of the Project Documents (as such term
is defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement) for the Operating
Partnership.
1.08 The Operating General Partner agrees to take all actions
necessary to claim the Projected Credit, including, without limitation, the
filing of Form 8609 with the Internal Revenue Service.
1.09 No person or entity other than the Operating Partnership
holds any equity interest in the Apartment Complex.
1.10 The Operating Partnership has the sole responsibility to pay
all maintenance and operating costs, including all taxes levied and all
insurance costs, attributable to the Apartment Complex.
1.11 The Operating Partnership, except to the extent it is
protected by insurance and excluding any risk borne by lenders, bears the sole
risk of loss if the Apartment Complex is destroyed or condemned or there is a
diminution in the value of the Apartment Complex.
1.12 No person or entity except the Operating Partnership has the
right to any proceeds, after payment of all indebtedness, from the sale,
refinancing, or leasing of the Apartment Complex.
1.13 Except as previously disclosed to the Special Limited
Partner, the Operating General Partner is not related in any manner to either
of the Limited Partners, nor is the Operating General Partner acting as an
agent of the Limited Partners.
1.14 To the best of the undersigned's knowledge after due
inquiry, and except as may be disclosed in that certain report entitled
"Environmental Site Assessment and Limited Environmental Compliance Review" by
GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. of Vernon, Connecticut, dated February 1997, the
Apartment Complex does not contain in a level above that deemed safe by all
applicable governmental agencies, any substance known to be hazardous, such as
hazardous waste, lead-based paint, asbestos, methane gas, urea formaldehyde
insulation, oil, toxic substances, underground storage tanks, polychlorinated
biphenals (PCBs), and radon; the Apartment Complex is not affected by the
presence of oil, toxic substances, or other pollutants that could be a
detriment to the Apartment Complex nor is the Operating Partnership in
violation of any local, state, or federal law or regulation; and no violation
of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act,
Toxic Substance Control Act, Safe Drinking Water Control Act, Comprehensive
Environmental Resource Compensation and Liability Act, or Occupational Safety
and Health Act has occurred or is continuing. Neither the Operating
Partnership, nor the Operating General Partner have received any notice from
any source whatsoever of the existence of any such hazardous condition
relating to the Apartment Complex or of any violation of any local, state or
federal law or regulation with respect to the Apartment Complex.
1.15 To the best of the undersigned's knowledge, based on that
certain real estate appraisal prepared by Italia & Xxxx, Inc. dated May 7,
1997 and based upon the level of permanent debt financing for the Project,
there is a reasonable expectation that the fair market value of the Operating
Partnership's building(s) at the end of each year will be greater than the
total amount of the Operating Partnership's liabilities, including accrued
interest on such liabilities.
1.16 [Intentionally Omitted].
1.17 First Atlantic Housing, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation,
BCP Connecticut Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership and
American Housing Preservation Corporation, a Maine corporation are the sole
members of the Operating General Partner. If any member or other affiliate of
the Operating General Partner is a tax-exempt entity and either of such
Operating General Partner is a "controlled entity" in relation to such tax-
exempt entity, a timely election will be made under Code Section 168(h)(6)(F)
so that no portion of the Apartment Complex will be treated as "tax exempt use
property" as defined in Code Section 168(h).
1.18 All representations made by the Operating General Partner in
the Operating Partnership Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and
are confirmed.
1.19 There is a reasonable expectation that the Operating
Partnership will be able to repay, as due, the principal and interest on the
projected loans to the Operating Partnership based on the projected value of
the Operating Partnership's property and building(s).
1.20 An Extended Use Commitment (as defined in the Operating
Partnership Agreement) within the meaning of Code Section 42(h)(6) will be in
effect and recorded in the appropriate land evidence records with respect to
the building(s) in the Apartment Complex not later than the end of the taxable
year in which any Tax Credit is taken with respect to any building. If not in
effect as of the date hereof, the Operating General Partner agree (i) to
deliver a valid and binding Extended Use Agreement and evidence that it has
been recorded no later than the end of the first taxable year in which any Tax
Credit is taken with regarding to any building and (ii) to ensure that all
Partnership lenders subordinate their mortgage liens on the Apartment Complex
to the Extended Use Agreement at the time it is recorded.
1.21 The amounts payable in development and property management
fees to the Operating General Partner and its affiliates are fair in light of
the value and magnitude of the services rendered in consideration for such
fees, and the services performed in consideration for the development fees
relate solely to the acquisition or construction of the Apartment Complex.
1.22 The Mortgage Loans (other than the Preservation Loan) are
being financed through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds, the interest on which
is exempt under Section 103 of the Code; the bonds are taken into account
under Section 146 of the Code; and the principal payments on the Mortgage
Loans (other than the Preservation Loan) will be applied within a reasonable
period to redeem the bonds, the proceeds of which were used to provide the
Mortgage Loans (other than the Preservation Loan).
1.23 The Low-Income Housing Tax Credits allocated to the
Apartment Complex will not exceed the amount the Agency determines is
necessary for the financial feasibility of the Apartment Complex and its
viability as a qualified low-income housing project throughout the credit
period.
1.24 To the best of the Operating General Partner's knowledge,
the proposed operations of the Apartment Complex and the Partnership satisfy
the requirements of Connecticut's Qualified Allocation Plan, including any
specific targeting, set-asides or other factors upon which the Connecticut
Housing Finance Authority based its determination that the proposed operations
of the Apartment Complex and the Partnership satisfy the Qualified Allocation
Plan.
1.25 The Operating Partnership has elected pursuant to Code
Section 42 to lock in the applicable Tax Credit rate prior to placement in
service of each building.
1.26 [Intentionally Omitted].
1.27 The Operating General Partner will not reduce its aggregate
interest, as Operating General Partner, in the Partnership below 1% of all
material items of the Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit.
The 1% interest will be calculated without regard to any limited partner
interest or interests in the Partnership that the Operating General Partner
have or may obtain.
1.28 The Operating General Partner and any entity that is related
to the Operating General Partner or to the Operating Partnership and that
receives a fee from the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, is on
the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes. If any fee received by the
Operating General Partner is treated as a guaranteed payment under Section
707(c) of the Code, the Operating General Partner will recognize such fee as
income at the time such fee is accrued by the Operating Partnership.
1.29 The Operating General Partner will be actively involved in
the management and operation of the Operating Partnership, will devote
substantial and continuing attention to the activities of the Operating
Partnership, and will provide substantial services to the Operating
Partnership.
1.30 The development and leasing activity in which the Operating
Partnership will engage will not contain personal or recreational benefit for
the partners of the Operating Partnership.
1.31 The Operating Partnership will keep active records and carry
out the proposed activity in a manner consistent with profitable businesses in
the same activity.
1.32 The Operating Partnership will have an objective to carry on
businesses for profit and divide the gains therefrom.
1.33 The Operating Partnership may earn a profit, including
profit from appreciation in the value of the Apartment Complex.
1.34 The Mortgage Loans and all other debt financing of the
Apartment Complex require the noncontingent repayment of principal on or
before a fixed maturity date, and will be considered and treated as a loan by
the Lenders.
1.35 None of the Operating Partnership's Lenders is a party from
whom the Operating Partnership acquired any portion of the Apartment Complex,
and none of the financing was issued in exchange for any portion of the
Apartment Complex. None of the Operating Partnership's Lenders will receive a
fee with respect to the Operating Partnership's investment in the Apartment.
1.36 Following is a description of any and all existing or
proposed financing of the Apartment Complex that involves any direct or
indirect grant or federal subsidy (including, without limitation, federal
grants, below-market interest rate loans, and tax-exempt bonds): the
Connecticut Housing Finance Authority is making the Mortgage Loans, which are
being funded by the issuance of Connecticut's 1996 Multi-Family Housing
Revenue Bonds.
1.37 The Project will not receive moderate rehabilitation
assistance under Section 8(e)(2) of the United States Housing Act of 1937
(unless pursuant to the Xxxxxxx X. XxXxxxxx Homeless Assistance Act of 1988).
1.38 If the Apartment Complex is a scattered site project within
the meaning of Code Section 42, 100% of the rental units in the Apartment
Complex will be rent-restricted within the meaning of Code Section 42.
1.39 All Units in the Apartment Complex are to be of equal
quality and all Apartment Complex amenities are to be made available to all
tenants on a comparable basis without separate fees except for one unit in
which the on-site manager shall reside.
1.40 There will be no direct or indirect personal liability of
the Operating Partnership or of any of the Partners for the repayment of the
principal of and payment of interest on the Mortgage Loans, and the sole
recourse of the Lender under the Mortgage Loans, with respect to the principal
thereof and interest thereon, shall be to the property securing the
indebtedness.
1.41 All representations and disclosures made by the Operating
General Partner to the Agency with respect to the Project and the Partnership
in connection with the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Allocation Application
remain true and correct on the date hereof and the Partnership has complied
with all conditions to the allocation of Tax Credits imposed by the Agency.
1.42 At least 50% of the aggregate basis of the Land and
buildings comprising the Apartment Complex will be financed by the Mortgage
Loans.
2. Indemnification
2.01 The Operating General Partner (for purposes of this Section
2.01, the "Indemnifying Parties" or, individually, an "Indemnifying Party")
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Limited Partners (for purposes of
this Section 2.01, the "Indemnified Parties" or, individually, an "Indemnified
Party") and each officer, director, employee and person, if any, who controls
any Indemnified Party against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(collectively, "Liabilities"), joint or several, to which any Indemnified
Party or such officer, director, employee or controlling person may become
subject, insofar as such Liabilities or actions in respect thereof arise out
of or are based upon (i) a breach by such Indemnifying Party of any of its
representations, warranties or covenants to such Indemnified Party or any such
of its officers, directors, employees or controlling persons under this
Certification and Agreement or (ii) liability in connection with the Land
and/or the Apartment Complex, as each term is defined in the Operating
Partnership Agreement, under any statute, regulation, ordinance, or other
provision of federal, state, or local law or any civil action pertaining to
the protection of the environment or otherwise pertaining to public health or
employee health and safety, including, without limitation, protection from
hazardous waste, lead-based paint, methane gas, urea formaldehyde insulation,
oil, toxic substance, underground storage tanks, polychlorinated biphenals
(PCBs), and radon; and to reimburse each such Indemnified Party and each such
officer, director, employee or controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by it or them in connection with defending
against any such Liability or action; provided, however, that the Indemnifying
Party shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party or any such
officer, director, employee or controlling person for any payment made to any
claimant in settlement of any Liability or action unless such payment is
approved by the Indemnifying Party or by a court having jurisdiction of the
controversy. This indemnity agreement shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any investigation made by any party hereto, shall survive the
termination of any agreement which refers to this indemnity and shall be in
addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Party may otherwise have.
2.02 No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under the indemnity
agreements contained in Section 2.01 unless the Indemnified Party shall have
notified the Indemnifying Party in writing within forty-five (45) business
days after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the
nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Indemnified Party or any
such of its officers, directors, employees or controlling per*sons, but
failure to notify an Indemnifying Party of any such claim shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party or any such of
its officers, directors, employees or controlling persons against whom action
is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in
Section 2.01. In case any action is brought against any Indemnified Party or
any such of its officers, directors, employees or controlling persons upon any
such claim, and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof
as aforesaid, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate at its
own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, in accordance with
arrangements satisfactory to any other Indemnifying Party or parties similarly
notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel who shall be reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party or any such of its officers, directors,
employees or controlling persons and any other Indemnified Parties who are
defendants in such action; and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to
such Indemnified Party or any such of its officers, directors, employees or
controlling persons of its election so to assume the defense thereof and the
retaining of such counsel by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party
shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party or any such of its officers,
directors, employees or controlling persons for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or any such of its officers,
directors, employees or controlling persons in connection with the defense
thereof.
