ARTICLE 1
VOTING OF SHARES
1.1 UNANIMOUS VOTE REQUIRED; COVENANTS. The Corporation and each
Stockholder agrees that any action to be taken by the Corporation, either
directly or through any Medallion Corporation and/or any Medallion LLC, on any
matter listed below shall require the unanimous affirmative vote of all, and not
less than all, of the Stockholders of the Corporation, and, to the extent
applicable, each such matter shall constitute an affirmative or negative
covenant, as the context requires, by the Corporation:
A. Management of the Project Partnerships. Any action, which,
directly or indirectly, relates to the amendment, modification (other than
automatic extensions of the term thereof) or termination of any contract for
services or
-2-
3
facilities relating to any Project Partnership that provides for gross annual
payments in excess of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000).
B. MERGER; CONSOLIDATION; FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN ENTITY STRUCTURE.
Any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, any Medallion Corporation, any
Medallion LLC and/or any Project Partnership with or into any other corporation
or other entity, any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation, any Medallion Corporation, any Medallion LLC and/or any Project
Partnership, any share exchange or reverse stock split of the Corporation and/or
any Medallion Corporation, any partial or complete liquidation or dissolution of
the Corporation, any Medallion Corporation, or any Medallion LLC and/or any
Project Partnership or any amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the
Corporation or any Medallion Corporation, the Articles of Organization or
Operating Agreement of any Medallion LLC and/or the Certificate of Limited
Partnership or Limited Partnership Agreement of any Project Partnership which
could, directly or indirectly, adversely affect any Stockholder.
C. WITHDRAWAL OF THE CORPORATION AS MEMBER OR MANAGER OF THE
MEDALLION LLCS. Any decision by the Corporation to voluntarily resign or
withdraw as the manager or as a member of any of the Medallion LLCs, either
pursuant to the governing documents of any Medallion LLC or under applicable
state law.
D. SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION; CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS. Any sale,
exchange or other disposition, transfer or conveyance by (i) the Corporation of
any of its legal or beneficial interest in any of the Medallion Corporations or
Medallion LLCs, (ii) any Medallion Corporation or Medallion LLC of any of its
general partner interest in any Project Partnership or (iii) any Project
Partnership or any Project Property, or, prior to expiration of the applicable
HAP Contract, any xxxx-to-market transaction, refinancing or comparable capital
transaction involving any Project Partnership or Project Property.
E. CHANGE IN GENERAL PARTNERS OF PROJECT PARTNERSHIPS. Any act,
directly or indirectly, to cause (i) the removal or withdrawal of any Medallion
Corporation or Medallion LLC as the sole general partner of any Project
Partnership or (ii) the substitution or addition of any other individual or
entity to serve as a general partner of any Project Partnership.

Corporation, any Medallion Corporation, any Medallion LLC and/or any Project
Partnership of any claim against Broad Street or NHP (and/or their Affiliates)
under or related to any contract for services described in Section 1.1.A. above,
or any attempt by any of such entities to terminate any such contract unless
attributed to Broad Street's or NHP's (and/or its Affiliates') gross negligence
or willful misconduct.
-3-
4
G. OPERATING BUDGET; EXPENDITURES OF MEDALLION CORPORATIONS,
MEDALLION LLCS AND PROJECT PARTNERSHIPS. Approval of (i) the annual operating
budget and any changes or amendments thereto for each of the Project
Partnerships and (ii) any actual expenses in excess of budgeted expenses for any
such Project Partnership by an amount greater than ten percent (10%). If the
Stockholders are unable to unanimously agree on the annual operating budget of
any of the aforementioned entities for any year, each expense line item shall be
increased by three percent (3%) over the prior year's budget for such entity.
H. BANK ACCOUNTS; DISBURSEMENTS. Approval of all disbursements
from any bank account or bank accounts of any of the Project Partnerships,
including, but not limited to, each checking, savings and security deposit
account maintained by or on behalf of each such entity; provided, however, that
no such approval shall be required for disbursements of funds for the payment of
any Fees or Reimbursement Payments or other amounts included in the approved
annual operating budgets.
I. TERMINATION OF BROAD STREET AS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGENT OF
PROJECT PARTNERSHIPS BY HUD. In the event Broad Street is terminated by the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development as the property
management agent of any Project Partnership, any decision or action by the
Corporation to appoint a successor property management agent. In such case,
each Stockholder shall vote their Stock per the instructions of NHP (and cause
its Affiliates to act in accordance with such instructions) for the appointment
and terms of retention of a substitute property management agent. NHP will
submit to the other Stockholder for approval prior to designating any substitute
property management agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
J. NO EFFECT ON BROAD STREET. Nothing contained herein shall be
construed to limit or otherwise affect the continued authority of Broad Street
(and its successors and assigns) under the Property Management Agreements, as
amended by the Fee Agreement Amendments.
K. AMENDMENTS TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES RENTAL
AGREEMENTS AND SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED ACCOUNTING SERVICES AGREEMENTS. In
the event that Broad Street's aggregate cost of providing services under either
or both of the Second Amended and Restated Facilities Rental Agreements and/or
the Second Amended and Restated Accounting Services Agreements between Broad
Street and each of the Project Partnerships is more than $13.50/unit and
$12.50/unit, respectively, by virtue of the total units under management by
Broad Street being less than 1,900, then each Stockholder shall vote their Stock
per the instructions of NHP in order to amend such agreements to increase such
per unit amounts by such overage. NHP (acting through its
-4-
5
Affiliates) will use its commercially reasonable good faith efforts to minimize
such costs to the Project Partnerships.
L. STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. Any other matter submitted to a vote of
the Stockholders with the exception of votes for the election or removal of
directors (except as provided in Section 1.3 below).
1.2 DISTRIBUTIONS OF NET PROCEEDS FROM PROJECT PARTNERSHIPS. Each
Stockholder acknowledges that, as to some of the Project Partnerships, the
Incentive Fees payable under the Incentive Agreements may be paid only upon
distribution of "net partnership receipts" by the applicable Project
Partnerships. Accordingly, in order to ensure prompt and complete payment of
such Incentive Fees to NHP (or its designee), the Stockholders covenant and
agree to cause the Corporation, and the Corporation agrees to act, in its
capacity as the sole stockholder of the Medallion Corporations and as the sole
manager of the Medallion LLCs, to cause the Project Partnerships to distribute
"Net Partnership Receipts", or "Net Cash Receipts", as such terms are defined in
the limited partnership agreements of the Project Partnerships, at the earliest
times and in the maximum amounts as are permitted by the applicable limited
partnership agreements and HUD regulations.
1.3 REMOVAL OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
A. If for any reason it is asserted by the Corporation or
Conveyor (or their counsel or representative), or otherwise claimed or
determined in any arbitration, administrative or judicial proceeding that the
voting requirements in, or any actions taken by the Stockholders pursuant to,
Section1.1 and Section1.2 hereof are invalid, void, voidable or otherwise
unenforceable, the Stockholders shall call or cause to be called, within one (1)
day following written demand by NHP, a special meeting of the Stockholders (the
"Special Meeting") in accordance with the Code of Regulations of the Corporation
(the "Regulations").
B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Regulations,
at a Special Meeting called pursuant to Section 1.3A or 3.4 hereof, the
Stockholders covenant and agree, one to the other, that they shall waive any
notice requirements for such special meeting and shall vote their shares of
Stock in such manner so as (i) to remove the then existing Board of Directors of
the Corporation and (ii) to cause a new Board of Directors to be appointed and
elected, as herein provided, for the remainder of the unexpired term of each
removed Director. For purposes of electing a new Board of Directors at the
Special Meeting and electing directors at all special or annual meetings of
Stockholders subsequent to the Special Meeting, the Stockholders further
covenant and agree that at any Special Meeting and at all
-5-
6
subsequent special or annual meetings, the Stockholders shall vote their shares
of Stock to elect such individuals as NHP may designate, in its sole and
absolute discretion.
1.4 COMMUNICATION WITH LIMITED PARTNERS OF PROJECT PARTNERSHIPS. The
Corporation shall not engage in any activity or permit the Medallion
Corporations and Medallion LLCs to engage in any activity which initiates any
communication with the limited partners of any Project Partnership regarding the
substitution, removal or withdrawal of any Medallion Corporation or Medallion
LLC as a general partner of any Project Partnership. If any communication
regarding the substitution, removal or withdrawal of any Medallion Corporation
or Medallion LLC as a general partner of any Project Partnership is received by
the Corporation or any Medallion Corporation or Medallion LLC from a limited
partner (or their representative), then any response by the Corporation, any
Medallion Corporation or Medallion LLC shall be subject to the prior written
approval of NHP. This restriction shall in no way limit the following:
1. Communication with limited partners that is necessary to
comport with any fiduciary or contractual responsibility
of any general partner.
2. Communication to the limited partners to provide
information as required by the applicable Partnership
Agreements.
3. Response to requests, comments, or questions presented by
any limited partner, or any limited partner's
representative, as required by the applicable Partnership
Agreement or in accordance with past practices.
4. Engaging in any other communication with the limited
partners that has been approved by NHP, with the proviso
that such communication shall be deemed approved by NHP,
if no disapproval has been communicated within three (3)
business days of NHP's receipt of a request for approval
containing a copy of the communication to NHP.
The Corporation shall promptly notify NHP (and, if in writing, provide copies to
NHP) of any communications described in 1-4 above.
1.5 POST-HAP CONTRACT EXPIRATION TRANSACTIONS. In the event that,
following the expiration of the HAP Contract for a given Project Partnership,
Conveyor desires to cause such Project Partnership to enter into any sale,
exchange or other disposition, transfer or conveyance of all or any portion of
such Project Partnership's Project Property or any xxxx-to-market
-6-
7
transaction, refinancing or comparable capital transaction involving such
Project Partnership and/or its Project Property, then, unless the Fee Agreement
Amendments remain in effect with respect to such Project Partnership (or Broad
Street and NHP enter into substantially identical agreements and arrangements as
reflected in the Fee Agreement Amendments), the Corporation shall not approve
and authorize or cause the applicable Medallion Corporation or Medallion LLC to
approve and authorize any such transaction unless, as a condition precedent
thereto, NHP or its designee receives a binding written commitment from the
Sellers Group to pay a fee to NHP as of the closing on such transaction equal to
one-half (1/2) of the aggregate net proceeds (after payment of related and
customary costs) realized by the Sellers Group or their Affiliates as the result
of such transaction. The Sellers Group shall provide NHP with copies of all
documents pertaining to such transaction.

transferee shall take such shares of Stock pursuant to all provisions,
conditions and covenants of this Agreement, and, as a condition precedent to the
effectiveness of such transfer of such shares of Stock, the transferee shall
agree (for and on behalf of himself, herself or itself, his, her or its legal
representatives and his, her or its transferees and assigns) in writing to be

Corporation or a reduction of its capital or a reappraisal of its assets and/or
any other corporate action, the Offering Stockholder agrees, if so requested by
