General Partner. If the Special Limited Partner does not accept such
value, it may select a second similarly-qualified appraiser. If the
values determined by both such appraisers differ by no more than 10%,
then the purchase price shall be the arithmetic mean of the two. If the
values differ by more than 10%, then the two appraisers shall appoint a
third similarly-qualified appraiser, who shall also determine a value.
In such a case, the final purchase price shall be the arithmetic mean of
the two values closest in absolute dollars. The method of payment to the
removed General Partner shall be fair; and must protect the solvency and
liquidity of the Partnership. The method of payment will be deemed
presumptively fair where it provides for a promissory note bearing
interest at the AFR payable from the proceeds of a Capital Transaction as
set forth in Section 10.2(b) hereof. In addition, upon removal, the
Partnership must promptly pay to the removed General Partner all amounts
then accrued and owing to the removed General Partner; provided, however,
that notwithstanding the language of Section 6.12, Article X, Article XI
and any other provision hereof, no removed General Partner or any
Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to receive any fee, compensation or
other remuneration from the Partnership, other than any such fee,
compensation or other remuneration which had already been earned in full
prior to the date of such removal. The Partnership is not authorized to
enter into any arrangement whereby any fee, compensation or other
remuneration could be payable directly or indirectly to any General
Partner or Affiliate thereof in a manner inconsistent with the
immediately preceding sentence unless the prior written consent of the
Special Limited Partner shall have been obtained to such particular
arrangement. The Partnership may offset against any payments to a
General Partner removed under this Section 4.5 any damages suffered by
the Partnership as a result of any breach of the obligations of such
General Partner hereunder. A General Partner so removed will not be
liable as a general partner for any obligations of the Partnership
incurred after the effective date of its removal. Each General Partner
hereby grants to the Special Limited Partner an irrevocable (to the
extent permitted by applicable law) power of attorney coupled with an
interest to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments on
behalf of such General Partner and the Partnership as the Special Limited
Partner may deem to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the
provisions of this Section 4.5 and to enable the new General Partner to
manage the business of the Partnership.
(c) In order to implement the provisions of Section 4.5(a)(v), the
General Partner is hereby required, within five (5) days after its receipt of
any offer to purchase the Apartment Complex or all of the Interests in the
Partnership, to send a copy of such offer (or a written description of any such
oral offer) to each of the Limited Partners. In connection with any proposed
sale of the Apartment Complex, the Special Limited Partner (or its designee)
shall have the right to (i) receive and review copies of all documents relating
to the proposed sale, (ii) participate in the negotiations of the terms and
conditions of the proposed sale, (iii) meet with the proposed purchaser,
(iv) solicit proposals for alternative offers for the Apartment Complex, and
(v) provide such other services in connection with the proposed sale as it
deems to be appropriate.
4.6 Meetings
The General Partner or Limited Partners holding more than ten percent
(10%) of the then outstanding Limited Partner Interests may call meetings of
the Partnership for any matters for which the Limited Partners may vote as set
forth in this Agreement. A list of the names and addresses of all Limited
Partners shall be maintained as part of the books and records of the
Partnership and shall be made available upon request to any Limited Partner or
his representative at his cost. Upon receipt of a written request either in
person or by certified mail stating the purpose(s) of the meeting, the General
Partner shall provide all Limited Partners within ten (10) days after receipt
of said request, written notice of a meeting and the purpose of such meeting to
be held on a date not less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days
after receipt of said request, at a time convenient to the Limited Partners.
All meetings shall be held at the principal office of the Partnership.
ARTICLE V
Capital Contributions of the Investment Limited Partner
and the Special Limited Partner
5.1 Payments
(a) The Special Limited Partner's Capital Contribution of $10 shall be
paid in full in cash on the Admission Date. The Investment Limited Partner's
Capital Contribution shall be paid in cash installments (the "Installments"),
as follows:
(i) $706,007 (the "First Installment") on the latest of (A) the
Admission Date, (B) the closing of the Construction Loan, (C) the
Permanent Loan Commitment Date, (D) Tax Credit Set-Aside or (E) the
Construction Permitting Date;
(ii) $200,000 (the "Second Installment"), on the latest of (A) the
Completion Date, (B) Cost Certification, (C) State Designation, (D)
receipt of an updated Title Policy in form and substance satisfactory to
the Special Limited Partner, (E) receipt of payoff letter from the
Contractor stating that all amounts payable to the Contractor have been
paid in full and that the Partnership is not in violation of the
Construction Contract, (F) receipt of estoppel letter from each Lender,
or (G) compliance with all due diligence recommendations of the
Investment Limited Partner;
(iii) $160,928 (the "Third Installment") on the latest of (A) the
Initial 100% Occupancy Date, (B) Permanent Mortgage Commencement, or
(C) Rental Achievement; and
(iv) $20,000 (the "Fourth Installment") upon the receipt of a tax
return and an audited financial statement for the year in which Rental
Achievement occurred;
provided, however, that (x) the General Partner shall give the Investment
Limited Partner not less than twenty-one (21) days' written notice prior to the
due date of each Installment subsequent to the First Installment, and (y) no
Installment shall be due unless and until all conditions to the payment of all
prior Installments have been satisfied.
(b) The obligation of the Investment Limited Partner to pay each
Installment is conditioned upon delivery by the General Partner to the
Investment Limited Partner of a written certificate (the "Payment Certificate")
stating that as of the date of such certificate (i) all the conditions to the
payment of such Installment have been satisfied and (ii) all representations
and warranties of the General Partner contained in this Agreement are true and
correct. Except as provided in the final sentence of this Section 5.1(b),
acceptance by the Partnership of any Installment shall constitute a
confirmation that, as of the date of payment, all such conditions are satisfied
and all such representations and warranties are true and correct. The
obligation of the Investment Limited Partner to pay the First Installment is
also conditioned upon delivery by the General Partner to the Investment Limited
Partner of (x) a legal opinion of independent counsel to the Partnership, the
General Partner, and the Developer, which opinion(s) must be satisfactory to
the Investment Limited Partner as to form, content and identity of counsel and
(y) a photocopy of a binding commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Special Limited Partner, to issue the Title Policy and endorsements thereto
in form and substance satisfactory to the Special Limited Partner insuring
against all zoning defects of the Apartment Complex, a Fairway endorsement and
a non-imputation endorsement. In no event shall any Installment become due
until all of the conditions for all of the Installments listed prior to the
Installment in question in Section 5.1(a) shall have been satisfied and all of
such prior Installments shall have become due. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, if at any time prior to the date when an Installment becomes due and
payable, the Partnership has an Operating Deficit which the General Partner
would be required to fund pursuant to Section 6.10, then the Investment Limited
Partner may, at its option, waive the requirement of the delivery of the
Payment Certificate or any other condition with respect to part or all of such
Installment and pay such part or all of such Installment, provided that the
proceeds of the amount so paid are used by the Partnership to fully fund such
Operating Deficit; provided, however, that if the proceeds of such amount so
paid are designated in Section 6.12 to be used to pay fee(s), then such
proceeds shall be utilized to pay such fee(s) and the recipient(s) thereof
shall be required to, and hereby agree to, utilize the proceeds of such fee(s)
to fund such Operating Deficit, in which case the Investment Limited Partner is
hereby authorized to directly fund such Operating Deficit, with the funds so
applied being deemed to have been paid as aforesaid.
(c) The Payment Certificate for each Installment shall be dated and
delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the
due date for such Installment.
(d) If, as of the date when an Installment would otherwise be due, any
statement required to be made in the Payment Certificate for such Installment
cannot be truthfully made, the General Partner shall notify the Investment
Limited Partner of the reason why such statement would be untrue if made, and
the Investment Limited Partner shall not be required to pay such Installment;
provided, however, that if (i) any such statement can subsequently be
truthfully made and (ii) the Investment Limited Partner shall not have
irrevocably lost, in the good faith judgment of the Investment General Partner,
any material tax or other benefits hereunder (other than tax benefits for which
the Investment Limited Partner has been fully compensated pursuant to the
provisions of paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 5.1), then the
Investment Limited Partner shall pay such Installment to the Partnership thirty
(30) days after delivery by the General Partner to the Investment Limited
Partner of the Payment Certificate together with an explanation of the manner
in which each such statement had become true.
(e) In the event that on or at any time prior to the Completion Date
(the "Initial Adjustment Date"), the Investment Limited Partner shall receive a
written certification of the Auditors indicating that the aggregate Actual
Credit during the Credit Period will be less than the aggregate Projected
Credit during the Credit Period, then (i) the next succeeding Installments of
the Capital Contributions of the Investment Limited Partner shall be reduced by
an amount equal to the product of (X) the difference between (1) the aggregate
Projected Credit during the Credit Period and (2) the aggregate Actual Credit
during the Credit Period and (Y) 0.5742 and (ii) the Projected Credit for each
Fiscal Year shall thereafter be redefined to mean the Actual Credit, as so
determined (the "Revised Projected Credit"). Any such reduction pursuant to
this Section 5.1(e) shall be made first to the Installment, if any, next due to
be paid by the Investment Limited Partner, and any balance of such amount
payable by the General Partner in excess of the amount of such Installment
shall be applied to succeeding Installments, if any, provided that if the
amount of any such reductions exceeds the sum of the remaining Installments, if
any, then an amount equal to the amount of such excess shall be paid by the
General Partner to the Investment Limited Partner promptly after demand is made
therefor, as a payment of damages for breach of warranty, regardless of the
reason for the occurrence of such event (unless such reduction was caused by an
act or omission of the Investment Limited Partner or its Affiliates, in which
event no such reduction or payment shall be required). No reduction of any
Installment or any payment by the General Partner pursuant to this Section
5.1(e) shall be deemed to be a Capital Contribution by the General Partner to
the Partnership, nor shall any such payment constitute a return of capital to
the Investment Limited Partner.
(f) If with respect to any Fiscal Year all or a portion of which occurs
during the Initial Operating Period, the Actual Credit is or was less than the
Projected Credit (or the Revised Projected Credit, if applicable) for such
Fiscal Year (a "Reduction Year"), then the General Partner shall pay to the
Investment Limited Partner the Reduction Amount. The Reduction Amount shall be
equal to the sum of (A) the excess of the Projected Credit (or the Revised
Projected Credit, if applicable) for such Fiscal Year over the Actual Credit
for such Fiscal Year multiplied by .7866 plus (B) the amount of any recapture,
interest or penalty payable by the limited partners and/or holders of
beneficial assignee certificates of the Investment Limited Partner as a result
of such shortfall, assuming that each limited partner and/or holder of a
beneficial assignee certificate in the Investment Limited Partner used all of
the Tax Credits allocated to it in the Fiscal Year of allocation and that each
such Person was subject to interest at the rate set forth in Section 6621(a)(2)
of the Code and to the penalty for understatement of tax set forth in Section
6662(d) of the Code. The Auditors shall make their determination of the amount
of the Actual Credit with respect to each Reduction Year within thirty (30)
days following the end of such Fiscal Year. The Investment Limited Partner
shall be eligible to be paid a Reduction Amount as hereinabove described with
respect to each Reduction Year. Any Reduction Amount shall first be applied to
the Installment next due to be paid by the Investment Limited Partner, with any
portion of such Reduction Amount in excess of the amount of such Installment
then being applied to succeeding Installments, provided that if no further
Installments remain to be paid or if the Reduction Amount shall exceed the sum
of the amounts of the remaining Installments, then the entire Reduction Amount
or the balance of the Reduction Amount, as the case may be, shall be paid by
the General Partner to the Investment Limited Partner promptly after demand is
made therefor, as a payment of damages for breach of warranty, regardless of
the reason for the occurrence of such event (unless such reduction was caused
by an act or omission of the Investment Limited Partner or its Affiliates, in
which event no Reduction Amount shall be payable). No payment by the General
Partner pursuant to this Section 5.1(f) shall be deemed to be a Capital
Contribution to the Partnership nor shall any such payment constitute a return
of capital to the Investment Limited Partner.
(g) In the event that, for any reason, at any time after the end of the
Initial Operating Period, the amount of the Actual Credit shall be less than
the Projected Credit (or the Revised Projected Credit, if applicable) with
respect to any Fiscal Year of the Partnership (such difference being
hereinafter referred to as a "Credit Shortfall"), the Investment Limited
Partner shall be treated as having made a constructive advance to the
Partnership with respect to such Fiscal Year (a "Credit Recovery Loan"), which
shall be deemed to have been made on January 1 of such Fiscal Year in an amount
equal to the sum of (A) the Credit Shortfall for such Fiscal Year plus (B) the
amount of any recapture, interest or penalty payable by the limited partners
and/or the holders of beneficial assignee certificates of the Investment
Limited Partner as a result of the Credit Shortfall for such Fiscal Year,
assuming that each limited partner and/or holder of a beneficial assignee
certificate in the Investment Partnership used all of the Tax Credits allocated
to him in the Fiscal Year of allocation and that each such Person was subject
to interest at the rate set forth in Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code and to the
penalty for understatement of tax set forth in Section 6662(d) of the Code.
Credit Recovery Loans shall be deemed to bear simple (not compounded) interest
from the respective dates on which such principal advances shall have been
deemed to have been made under this Section 5.1(g) at a rate of nine percent
(9%) per annum. Credit Recovery Loans shall be payable by the Partnership as
provided in Section 10.2(b), Clause Third.
(h) At the request of the General Partner, the Investment Limited
Partner shall grant to the Partnership a security interest in the Investment
Limited Partner's Interest as collateral security for the payment, when due in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, of the Capital Contributions of
the Investment Limited Partner. Except as hereinafter provided in Section
5.1(i), upon any default by the Investment Limited Partner in the payment of
its Capital Contributions as and when they are due and payable (an "Event of
Default"), which Event of Default has not been cured within ten (10) business
days following notice thereof by the Partnership to the Investment Limited
Partner, the Partnership or its assignee shall have all the rights and
remedies, with respect to the security interest hereby granted by such
Investment Limited Partner, of a secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the State. Upon request, the Investment
Limited Partner will execute a UCC-1 financing statement evidencing the
security interest granted hereby and will deliver such statement to the
Partnership.
(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1(h) above, in the
event of a dispute regarding the existence of an Event of Default, such dispute
shall be resolved by binding arbitration and until the issuance of a final
arbitration award confirming the existence of an Event of Default, the
Partnership shall not be entitled to exercise any of its rights or remedies
under Section 5.1(h) above. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance
with the Rules of Commercial Arbitration of the American Arbitration
Association by a single arbitrator appointed pursuant to those rules. The
arbitration shall take place in the City of Boston, Massachusetts. The scope
of the arbitrator's award shall be solely limited to a determination of whether
an Event of Default has occurred. If the arbitrator determines that an Event
of Default has occurred, then if requested by the Investment Limited Partner
within twenty (20) days following receipt of the award, the arbitrator shall
provide the parties with a written explanation of the facts underlying the
determination, which shall become part of the award. The prevailing party
shall be awarded the costs of such arbitration, provided, however, that each
party shall bear the costs of its own attorneys and witnesses.
5.2 Return of Capital Contributions
(a) Failure to Achieve Development and/or Tax Credit Benchmarks and
Standards. If (i) all 38 apartment units in the Apartment Complex shall not
have been placed in service by December 31, 1996 (for purposes of satisfying
the requirements of Section 42(h)(1)(E)(i) of the Code with respect to the 1994
Tax Credit allocation), or (ii) by 12 months from the Completion Date, fewer
than 38 of the apartment units in the Apartment Complex shall have been
occupied by tenants meeting the terms of the Minimum Set-Aside Test under
executed leases which shall have received any Requisite Approvals at rental
levels meeting the requirements of the Rent Restriction Test, or (iii)
Permanent Mortgage Commencement shall not have occurred prior to January 1,
1997 (or any later date fixed by the General Partner with the Consent of the
Special Limited Partner), or (iv) State Designation shall not have occurred by
January 31, 1997 (or any later date fixed by the General Partner with the
Consent of the Special Limited Partner) and by said date the General Partner
shall not have made any payment as described in the next to last sentence of
Section 5.1(e) or, if the Investment Limited Partner shall have elected to have
all or a portion of any payment under Section 5.1(e) applied toward future
Installment obligations of the Investment Limited Partner, amendments to this
Agreement shall not have been adopted and filed in the Filing Office,
reflecting such event, or (v) the Partnership shall fail to meet the Minimum
Set-Aside Test or the Rent Restriction Test by the close of the first year of
the Credit Period and/or fails to continue to meet either of such tests at any
time during the sixty (60)-month period commencing on such date, or (vi) prior
to Permanent Mortgage Commencement, (A) foreclosure proceedings shall have
commenced under any Mortgage and such proceedings shall not have been dismissed
within thirty (30) days, (B) any of the commitments of a Lender to provide a
Mortgage Loan and/or any subsidy financing shall be terminated or withdrawn and
not reinstated or replaced within sixty (60) days with terms at least as
favorable to the Partnership or terms for which the Consent of the Special
Limited Partner and any Requisite Approvals shall have been obtained, or (C)
the Construction Lender, acting in good faith and in accordance with the
provisions of the Construction Loan Documents, shall have irrevocably refused
to make any further advances under the Construction Loan Documents and such
decision shall not have been reversed or the Construction Lender replaced
within thirty (30) days or (vii) if by ____ __, 199_ (or any later date fixed
by the General Partner with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner), the
Special Limited Partner shall not have received, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Special Limited Partner, a Carryover Certification, or
(viii) if at any time it shall be determined by the Service or by the Tax
Accountants that a Carryover Certification could not be issued or was issued in
error, or (ix) if by the date which is twelve (12) months following the
Completion Date, Rental Achievement shall not have been achieved, or (x) at any
time the General Partner fails to make a Subordinated Loan and such failure
continues for ten (10) days, then within five (5) days of the occurrence
thereof, the General Partner shall send to the Investment Limited Partner and
the Special Limited Partner notice of such event and of the General Partner's
obligation to repurchase the Interests of the Investment Limited Partner and
the Special Limited Partner by paying to the Investment Limited Partner and the
Special Limited Partner an amount (the "Repurchase Amount") equal to each such
Partner's Invested Amount minus the portion, if any, of such Partner's Capital
Contribution which shall not yet have been paid (or deemed to have been paid)
to the Partnership plus the amount of any third-party costs, including, without
limitation, attorney's fees incurred by or on behalf of such Partner in
implementing this Section 5.2(a) in the event the Investment Limited Partner
and/or the Special Limited Partner require(s) such a repurchase. If either the
Special Limited Partner or the Investment Limited Partner elects to require a
repurchase of its Interest and the payment to it of an amount equal to its
Repurchase Amount, it shall send notice thereof to the Partnership within
thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the General Partner's notice, or at
any time after the occurrence of any of the foregoing if the General Partner
shall not have sent a notice thereof, and the General Partner shall within ten
(10) days after the Partnership receives any such notice from a Partner
requesting the purchase of its Interest repurchase the Interest of such Partner
by paying to such Partner an amount equal to its Repurchase Amount. If,
following receipt of the General Partner's notice, either the Special Limited
Partner or the Investment Limited Partner fails to send notice to the General
Partner by the end of such 30-day period requesting the General Partner to
purchase its Interest, the Special Limited Partner and/or the Investment
Limited Partner, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have waived its right
to cause the General Partner to purchase its Interest as a result of the event
described in the General Partner's notice. No such waiver, however, shall
affect the right of the Special Limited Partner and/or the Investment Limited
Partner to cause the General Partner to purchase its Interest upon the
occurrence of any other event described in this Section 5.2(a), or upon any
subsequent occurrence of the event described in the General Partner's notice.
(b) Lender Disapproval. If any Agency or Lender shall disapprove,
or fail to give any required approval of, the Investment Limited Partner and/or
the Special Limited Partner as a Limited Partner hereunder within one hundred
eighty (180) days of the Admission Date, then the Partner being disapproved or
not approved shall, effective as of such time or such later time as may be
elected by the Partner being disapproved or not approved as may be specified by
such Agency or Lender in its disapproval, at the option of the Partner being
disapproved or not approved (if not directed by such Agency or Lender to
withdraw), cease to be a Limited Partner. The General Partner shall, within
ten (10) days of the effective date of such cessation, pay to the Partner
being disapproved or not approved an amount equal to its Invested Amount minus
the amount, if any, of such Partner's Capital Contribution which shall not yet
have been paid (or deemed to have been paid) to the Partnership plus the amount
of any third party costs, including, but not limited to attorney's fees,
incurred by or on behalf of such Partner in implementing this Section 5.2(b).
(c) Substitution and Indemnification. Upon the receipt by the
Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner of the amount due
to it pursuant to either Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b), the Interest of such
Partner shall terminate, and the General Partner shall indemnify and hold
harmless such Partner from and against any Adverse Consequences to which such
Partner (as a result of its participation hereunder) may be subject, provided
that such Adverse Consequences do not result from such Partner's acts or
omissions.
(d) Waiver of Repurchase Right. Each of the Investment Limited Partner
and the Special Limited Partner shall have the right to irrevocably waive its
right to have its Interest repurchased pursuant to any clause or clauses of
Section 5.2(a), or any portion thereof, at any time during which any of such
rights shall be in effect. Such a waiver shall be exercised by delivery to the
General Partner of a written notice stating that the rights being waived
pursuant to any specified clause or clauses of Section 5.2(a), or any specified
portion thereof, are thereby waived for a specified period of time.
(e) Additional General Partner. If the General Partner shall fail to
make on the due date therefor any payment required under Section 5.2(a) or
Section 5.2(b), time being of the essence, at any time thereafter the Special
Limited Partner shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to
cause itself or its designee to be admitted as an additional General Partner,
receiving from the existing General Partner, in consideration of the payment of
ten dollars ($10.00), a one per cent (1%) interest in the Profits, Losses, Tax
Credits and distributions of the Partnership, with the Special Limited Partner
retaining its status as such and its economic interest in the Partnership as
the Special Limited Partner (or its designee as an additional General Partner).
If the Special Limited Partner exercises the option described in this
Section 5.2(e), each of the other General Partner xxxxxx agrees that all of its
rights and powers hereunder as a General Partner shall automatically be
irrevocably delegated to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 6.13
without the necessity of any further action by any Partner. Each Partner
hereby grants to the Special Limited Partner an irrevocable (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) power of attorney coupled with an interest to take
any action and to execute, deliver and file or record any and all documents and
instruments on behalf of such Partner and the Partnership as the Special
Limited Partner may deem necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the
provisions of this Section 5.2(e) and to allow the additional General Partner
to manage the business of the Partnership. The admission of the Special
Limited Partner or its designee as an additional General Partner shall not
relieve any other General Partner of any of its economic obligations hereunder,
and each other General Partner shall fully indemnify and hold harmless the
additional General Partner from and against any and all Adverse Consequences
sustained by such additional General Partner in connection with its status as a
General Partner (other than Adverse Consequences arising solely from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such additional General Partner).

(b) In the event that any General Partner violates any provision of
Section 6.2(a), the Special Limited Partner in its sole discretion, may cause
itself or its designee to be admitted as an additional General Partner without
any further action by any other Partner. Upon any such admission of an
additional General Partner, each existing General Partner shall be deemed to
have assigned proportionally to the additional General Partner, automatically
and without further action, such portion of its General Partnership Interest so
that the additional General Partner shall receive not less than a one percent
(1%) interest in the Profits, Losses, Tax Credits and distributions of the
Partnership in consideration of one dollar ($1.00) and any other consideration
which may be agreed upon. An additional General Partner so admitted shall
automatically become the Managing General Partner and shall be irrevocably
delegated all of the power and authority of all of the General Partner pursuant
to Section 6.13. Any such additional General Partner shall have the right to
withdraw as a General Partner at any time, leaving the prior General Partner
once again as the only General Partner, the provisions of Article VII
notwithstanding. Each Partner hereby grants to the Special Limited Partner a
special power of attorney, irrevocable to the extent permitted by law and
coupled with an interest, to amend this Agreement and to do anything else
which, in view of the Special Limited Partner, may be necessary or appropriate
to accomplish the purposes of this Section 6.2(b) or to enable any additional
General Partner admitted pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) to manage the business
of the Partnership. The admission of an additional General Partner shall not
relieve any other General Partner of any of its economic obligations hereunder,
and each other General Partner shall fully indemnify and hold harmless the
additional General Partner from and against any and all Adverse Consequences
sustained by the additional General Partner in connection with its status as a
General Partner (other than Adverse Consequences arising solely from the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of such additional General Partner).
(c) Neither the Investment General Partner nor any Affiliate thereof
shall be given an exclusive right to sell, or exclusive employment to sell, the
Apartment Complex.
6.3 Personal Services; Other Business Ventures
No General Partner or Affiliate thereof shall receive any salary or other
direct or indirect compensation for any services or goods provided in
connection with the Partnership or the Apartment Complex, except as may be
specifically provided in Section 6.12, Section 6.15 and Article XI or as to
which the Consent of the Special Limited Partner shall have been obtained to
the precise terms thereof prior to the commencement of such services or the
provision of such goods. Any Partner may engage independently or with others
in other business ventures of every nature and description, including the
ownership, operation, management, syndication and development of real estate;
neither the Partnership nor any other Partner shall have any rights in and to
such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom.
6.4 Business Management and Control
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the General Partner
shall have the exclusive right to control the business of the partnership. If
at any time there is more than one General Partner, the powers and duties of
the General Partners hereunder shall be exercised in the first instance by a
Managing General Partner who, subject to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, shall manage the business and affairs of the Partnership. The
Managing General Partner may bind the Partnership by executing and delivering,
in the name and on behalf of the Partnership, any documents which this
Agreement authorizes the General Partners to execute hereunder without the
requirement that any other General Partner execute such documents. The initial
Managing General Partner shall be Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx; if it is unwilling or
unable to serve in such capacity or shall cease to be a General Partner, the
remaining General Partners may from time to time designate a new Managing
General Partner. If for any reason no designation is in effect, the powers of
the Managing General Partner shall be exercised by a majority in interest of
the General Partners. Any action required or permitted to be taken by a
corporate General Partner hereunder may be taken by such of its proper officers
or agents as it shall validly designate for such purpose.
(b) The Managing General Partner shall have control over the business
of the Partnership and shall have all rights, powers and authority conferred by
law as necessary, advisable or consistent in connection therewith. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Managing General Partner shall
have the right, power and authority to execute any documents relating to the
acquisition, financing, construction, operation and sale of all or any portion
of the Apartment Complex with the prior approval of the other General Partners,
if any. The Managing General Partner shall be responsible for administering
any construction loan draw requests for the development of the Apartment
Complex.
(c) Neither the Investment Limited Partner nor the Special Limited
Partner shall have any right to take part in the management or control of the
business of the Partnership or to transact any business in the name of the
partnership. No provision of this Agreement which makes the Consent of the
Investment Limited Partner or the Consent of the Special Limited Partner a
condition for the effectiveness of an action taken by the General Partner is
intended, and no such provisions shall be construed, to give the Investment
Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner, as the case may be, any
participation in the control of the Partnership business. Each of the Special
Limited Partner and the Investment Limited Partner hereby consents to the
exercise by the General Partner of the powers conferred on it by law and this
Agreement, and the General Partner agrees to exercise control of the business
of the Partnership only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the provisions of this Section
6.4 be invoked by any General Partner or by any other Person as a defense
against or as an impediment to the ability of either the Investment Limited
Partner or the Special Limited Partner to take any action hereunder.
6.5 Duties and Obligations
(a) The General Partner shall manage the affairs of the Partnership to
the best of its ability, shall use its best efforts to carry out the purpose of
the Partnership, and shall devote to the Partnership such time as may be
necessary for the proper performance of its duties and the business of the
Partnership. The General Partner shall promptly take all action which may be
necessary or appropriate for the proper development, construction, maintenance
and operation of the Apartment Complex in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement, the Project Documents and any applicable laws and Regulations.
The General Partner is responsible for the management and operation of the
Partnership, including the oversight of the rent-up and operational stages of
the Apartment Complex.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.5(g), the General Partner
shall use its diligent good faith efforts to cause the Partnership to generate
Cash Flow for distribution to the Partners at the maximum realizable level in
view of (i) any applicable Regulations, (ii) the Minimum Set-Aside Test, (iii)
the Rent Restriction Test and (iv) the Projected Rents, and, if necessary, the
General Partner also shall use its best efforts to obtain approvals and
implementation of appropriate adjustments in the rental schedule of the
Apartment Complex.
(c) The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to obtain and keep
in force, during the term of the Partnership, comprehensive casualty insurance,
including, but not limited to, fire, earthquakes and other risks generally
included under "extended coverage" policies, workers compensation and public
liability insurance in favor of the Partnership (i) with such companies and in
such amounts as shall be satisfactory to the Lenders, or, if the Lenders
impose no specific requirements, as shall be customary for apartment complexes
similar to the Apartment Complex, and (ii) in amounts which shall be (A) no
less than those amounts which are customary in the area for apartment complexes
such as the Apartment Complex, (B) no less than such amounts as may be
reasonably requested by the Special Limited Partner from time to time, and (C)
in any event, sufficient to prevent the Partnership from becoming a co-insurer
under any such policies. No deductibles on such policies may exceed $2,500.
The public liability insurance in favor of the Partnership shall be in an
amount not less than $6,000,000 (up to $5,000,000 of which may be covered by an
umbrella policy). Through the Completion Date, or such later date as may be
required by any Agency or any Lender, the General Partner also shall cause the
Partnership to obtain and keep in force a builder's risk policy in favor of the
Partnership in an amount not less than the greater of (i) the full replacement
value of the Apartment Complex (excluding the value of the underlying land, the
site utilities and the foundations) or (ii) such other amount as shall be
required by any Agency or Lender. Throughout the term of the Partnership, the
General Partner shall provide copies of all such policies (or binders) to the
Special Limited Partner promptly after their receipt thereof. The General
Partner shall cause the applicable insurer to name each of the Investment
Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner as an "additional insured" on
each Partnership insurance policy.
(d) If at any time there is more than one General Partner, the
obligations of the General Partners hereunder shall be the joint and several
obligations of each General Partner. Except as otherwise provided in Sections
4.5(b) and 7.1, such obligations shall survive any Withdrawal of a General
Partner from the Partnership.
(e) (i) The General Partner shall establish and maintain reasonable
reserves (the "Replacement Reserve") to provide for working capital needs,
improvements, replacements and any other contingencies of the Partnership. At
a minimum, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to annually deposit
$7,600 from Cash Flow into the Replacement Reserve; to the extent that Cash
Flow (as determined before deduction of such reserve deposit) for any Fiscal
Year shall be insufficient to make such deposit in full, the General Partner
shall fund such shortfall from its own funds as a Subordinated Loan. Funds
held in the Replacement Reserve may be released only with the approval of the
Special Limited Partner; and
(ii) In addition to the requirements of Section 6.5(e)(i), in
order to fund Cash Expenditures of the Partnership which exceed Cash Receipts
available for the payment thereof, on or prior to the Admission Date, the
General Partner (or its designee), shall deposit $60,000 into a segregated
reserve account (the "Operating Reserve") to secure the General Partner's
obligation to fund operating expenses. Funds held in the Operating Reserve may
be released to pay operating expenses only with the approval of the Special
Limited Partner. Upon the achievement of Rental Achievement, up to $30,000 of
the funds remaining in the Operating Reserve shall be returned to the General
Partner (or its designee) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2.
The remaining funds in the Operating Reserve shall be returned to the General
Partner in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 48 months after
Rental Achievement, provided that the Partnership achieves 6 consecutive months
of Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.15 to 1.00 in the fourth year after
Completion and the management of the Apartment Complex is in compliance with
the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Any funds utilized from the Operating
Reserve to pay Partnership operating expenses shall constitute Subordinated
Loans. Upon the utilization of such funds from the Operating Reserve, the
General Partner shall use its best good faith efforts to redeposit Partnership
funds in the Operating Reserve in an amount sufficient to maintain the minimum
balances required herein.
(f) Each General Partner shall be bound by the provisions of the
Project Documents, and no additional General Partner shall be admitted if he,
she or it has not first agreed to be bound by this Agreement (and assume the
obligations of a General Partner hereunder) and by the Project Documents to the
same extent and under the same terms as each of the other General Partners.
(g) The General Partner shall take all actions appropriate to ensure
that the Investment Limited Partner receives the full amount of the Projected
Credit, including, without limitation, the rental of apartments to appropriate
tenants and the filing of annual certifications as may be required. In this
regard, the General Partner shall, inter alia, cause (i) the Partnership to
satisfy the Minimum Set-Aside Test, the Rent Restriction Test and all other
requirements imposed from time to time under the Code with respect to rental
levels and occupancy by qualified tenants by the close of the first year of the
Credit Period and throughout the Compliance Period so as to permit the
Partnership to be entitled to the maximum available Tax Credit (ii) the
Partnership to comply with all State Tax Credit monitoring procedures, (iii)
all dwelling units in the Apartment Complex to be leased for initial periods of
not less than six months to individuals satisfying the Rent Restriction Test,
(iv) the Partnership to make all appropriate Tax Credit elections in a timely
fashion, and (v) all rental units in the Apartment Complex to be of equal
quality with comparable amenities available to low-income tenants on a
comparable basis without separate fees.
(h) On or before the Admission Date, the General Partner shall provide
to the Special Limited Partner either (i) an appraisal of the Apartment Complex
prepared by a competent independent appraiser or (ii) completed FmHA Forms
1924-13 (estimate and certificate of actual cost) and 1930-7 (statement of
budget, income and expense) or HUD project cost and budget analysis on Form
2264, or any successor FmHA or HUD form, any comparable form of a state or
other Governmental Authority, including any applicable Credit Agency, setting
forth estimates with respect to construction, rehabilitation and mortgage
financing costs and initial rental income and operating expense figures for the
Apartment Complex.
(i) The General Partner shall (i) not store or dispose of (except in
compliance with all laws, ordinances, and regulations pertaining thereto) any
Hazardous Material at the Apartment Complex, or at or on any other Site or
Vessel owned, occupied, or operated either by any General Partner, any
Affiliate of a General Partner, or any Person for whose conduct any General
Partner is or was responsible; (ii) neither directly nor indirectly transport
or arrange for the transport of any Hazardous Material (except in compliance
with all laws, ordinances, and regulations pertaining thereto); (iii) provide
the Investment Limited Partner with written notice (x) upon any General
Partner's obtaining knowledge of any potential or known release, or threat of
release, of any Hazardous Material at or from the Apartment Complex or any
other Site or Vessel owned, occupied, or operated by any General Partner, any
Affiliate of a General Partner or any Person for whose conduct any General
Partner is or was responsible or whose liability may result in a lien on the
Apartment Complex; (y) upon any General Partner's receipt of any notice to such
effect from any federal, state, or other Governmental Authority; and (z) upon
any General Partner's obtaining knowledge of any incurrence of any expense or
loss by any such government authority in connection with the assessment,
containment, or removal of any Hazardous Material for which expense or loss any
General Partner may be liable or for which expense or loss a lien may be
imposed on the Apartment Complex.
(j) The General Partner shall promptly request in writing of the
Permanent Lender that the Permanent Lender cause the Special Limited Partner to
be named as an "interested party" in the Permanent Mortgage Loan Documents, so
that the Permanent Lender will notify the Special Limited Partner of any
default under the Permanent Mortgage or the General Partner shall itself notify
the Special Limited Partner of any such default.
(k) The General Partner shall provide the Special Limited Partner with
a true and accurate copy of each Construction Loan requisition and any
supporting documents and information which has been submitted for approval by
the Construction Lender (whether submitted before or after the Admission Date).
(l) The General Partner shall have a fiduciary responsibility for the
safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the Partnership, whether or not
in its immediate possession or control. The General Partner shall not employ,
or permit another to employ, such funds or assets in any manner except for the
exclusive benefit of the Partnership. No General Partner shall contract away
the fiduciary duty owed at common law to the Limited Partners.

6.8 Indemnification of the General Partner
(a) No General Partner or any Affiliate thereof shall have liability to
the Partnership or to any Limited Partner for any loss suffered by the
Partnership which arises out of any action or inaction of any General Partner
or Affiliate thereof if such General Partner or Affiliate thereof in good faith
determined that such course of conduct was in the best interest of the
Partnership and such course of conduct did not constitute gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such General Partner or Affiliate thereof.

the Partnership from and against any Adverse Consequences sustained in
connection with the business and operations of the Partnership, provided that
all of the following conditions are met: (i) such General Partner has
determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss,
judgment, liability, expense or amount paid in settlement was in the best
interests of the Partnership; and (ii) such Adverse Consequences were not the
result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such General
Partner or Affiliate thereof; and (iii) such indemnification or agreement to
hold harmless is recoverable only out of the assets of the Partnership, and not
from the Limited Partners.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, no Partner or any Affiliate thereof
performing services for the Partnership or any broker-dealer shall be
indemnified for any Adverse Consequences arising from or out of an alleged
violation of federal or state securities laws unless there has been a
successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving securities laws
violations as to the particular indemnitee and the court finds that
indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made. In any
claim for indemnification for federal or state securities law violations, the
party seeking indemnification shall, prior to seeking court approval for such
indemnification, place before the court the positions of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Massachusetts Securities Division and any other
applicable state securities administrator with respect to the issue of
indemnification for securities law violations.
(d) The Partnership shall not incur the cost of the portion of any
insurance, other than public liability insurance or course of construction
insurance, which insures any party against any liability as to which such party
is herein prohibited from being indemnified.
(e) The Partnership may indemnify Affiliates of a General Partner under
this Section 6.8 only if the loss involves an activity in which such Affiliates
acted in the capacity of a General Partner.

mean any Person performing services on behalf of the Partnership who (i)
directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control
with a General Partner; (ii) owns or controls ten percent (10%) or more of the
outstanding voting securities of a General Partner; (iii) is an officer,
director, partner or trustee of a General Partner; or (iv) if a General Partner
is an officer, director, partner or trustee, in any company for which such
General Partner acts in any such capacity. For purposes of this Section 6.8
only, the term "controls" and any form of such term shall mean the power to
direct the management and policies of a Person, directly or indirectly, whether
through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
6.9 Indemnification of the Partnership and the Limited Partners
(a) The General Partner will indemnify and hold the Partnership and the
Limited Partners harmless from and against any and all Adverse Consequences
which the Partnership or any Limited Partner may incur by reason of (i) the
past, present or future actions or omissions of the General Partner or any of
its Affiliates constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) any
liabilities to which either the Partnership or the Apartment Complex is subject
other than (x) any Mortgage or (y) any payables or necessary contractual
obligations incurred pursuant to the requirements of any Agency or Lender in
connection with the operation of the Apartment Complex in the ordinary course
of business.

to a Limited Partner or the Partnership for any act or omission for which the
Partnership is required to indemnify such General Partner under Section 6.8.

Partners harmless from and against any Adverse Consequences related to or
arising out of the presence of any Hazardous Material at the Apartment Complex

the Limited Partners). Any claim or loss described in the immediately
preceding sentence may be defended, compromised, settled, or pursued by the
Limited Partners with counsel of the Limited Partners' selection, but at the
expense of General Partner. Notwithstanding anything else set forth herein,
this indemnification shall survive the withdrawal of any General Partner and/or
the termination of this Agreement.
6.10 Operating Deficits
Subject to any Requisite Approvals, the General Partner shall be
obligated to promptly advance funds to eliminate any Operating Deficit. In any
case in which the General Partner otherwise would be required to advance funds
under this Section 6.10, any amounts then held in the Operating Reserve may be
released and disbursed for the purpose of eliminating the Operating Deficit
before the General Partner shall be required to advance their own funds. In
the event that the General Partner shall fail to make any such advance as
aforesaid, (a) the Partnership shall utilize amounts (the "Applied Amounts")
otherwise payable to the General Partner or its Affiliates under Section 6.12
and/or Article X to meet the obligations of the General Partner pursuant to
this Section 6.10, with such utilization of Applied Amounts constituting
payment and satisfaction of the corresponding amounts payable to the General
Partner or its Affiliates under Section 6.12 and/or Article X, with the
proceeds thereof being applied to such obligations, and with the obligation of
the Partnership to make such payments to the General Partner or its Affiliates
pursuant to Section 6.12 and/or Article X being deemed to have been satisfied
to the extent thereof and (b) the Special Limited Partner shall have the
option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to cause it or one or more of its
designees to be admitted to the Partnership as additional General Partner(s).
An additional General Partner so admitted shall automatically, without the need
for any further action by any Partner, become the Managing General Partner and
shall be delegated all of the powers and authority of all of the General
Partners pursuant to Section 6.13, and each Partner hereby grants to any such
additional General Partner a power of attorney, coupled with an interest and
irrevocable to the extent permitted by law, to execute and deliver any and all
instruments and documents which it believes to be necessary or appropriate in
order to accomplish the purposes of this Section 6.10 and to manage the
business of the Partnership. The admission of an additional General Partner
shall not relieve any other General Partner of any of its economic obligations
hereunder, and each other General Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the
additional General Partner from and against any and all Adverse Consequences
sustained in connection with the additional General Partner's status as a
General Partner (other than Adverse Consequences arising solely out of the
negligence or misconduct of such additional General Partner). For the purpose
of this Section 6.10, all expenses shall be paid on a sixty (60)-day current
basis. Moreover, the General Partner may in its sole discretion at any time
advance funds to the Partnership to pay operating expenses and/or debt service
of the Partnership in order to facilitate the Partnership's compliance with the
Rent Restriction Test. All advances pursuant to Section 6.5(e) and this
Section 6.10 (including any Applied Amounts), except advances from the
Operating Reserve, shall constitute non-interest-bearing Subordinated Loans.
Subordinated Loans shall be repaid in accordance with the provisions of Article
X. The form and provisions of all Subordinated Loans shall conform to any
applicable Regulations.
6.11 Obligation to Complete the Construction of the Apartment Complex
(a) The Developer shall be obligated to complete the construction of
the Apartment Complex and achieve Permanent Mortgage Commencement in the manner
set forth in this Agreement and the Development Agreement.
(b) The completion of the Apartment Complex shall be secured by a
completion bond in an amount at least equal to the full amount of the
Construction Contract for the Apartment Complex or by other security
satisfactory to the Special Limited Partner, which other security may included,
but shall not be limited to, the following:
(i) a written guaranty of completion by a Person, supported by
financial statements demonstrating sufficient net worth or adequately
collateralized by other real or personal properties or other Persons'
guarantees; and/or
(ii) a retention of a reasonable portion of the Capital
Contribution of the Investment Limited Partner and/or fees to the General
Partner as a potential offset in the event the General Partner does not
perform in accordance with this Agreement.
6.12 Certain Payments to the General Partner and Others
(a) As reimbursement for certain advances and as compensation for the
Developer's services in connection with the development and construction of the
Apartment Complex, the Partnership shall pay to the Developer a development fee
(the "Development Fee") in the amount and at the times set forth in the
Development Agreement. If the Development Fee has not been fully paid by the
tenth (10th) anniversary of the Completion Date, the General Partner shall make
a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount sufficient to enable the
Partnership to pay any unpaid portion of the Development Fee.
(b) The Partnership shall pay to the Special Limited Partner or an
Affiliate thereof a fee (the "Asset Management Fee") commencing in 1996 for its
services in connection with the Partnership's accounting matters relating to
the Investment Limited Partner and assisting with the preparation of tax
returns and the reports required by Section 12.7 in the annual amount of
$5,000. The Asset Management Fee shall be payable from Cash Flow in the manner
and priority set forth in Section 10.2(a); provided however, that if in any
Fiscal Year, Cash Flow is insufficient to pay the full amount of the Asset
Management Fee, the General Partner shall advance the amount of such deficiency
to the Partnership as a Subordinated Loan.
(c) In consideration of the services of the General Partner in managing
the day-to-day business and affairs of the Partnership, the Partnership shall
pay to the General Partner an annual fee (the "Partnership Management Fee")
commencing in 1996 in the amount of up to $5,000, payable from Cash Flow in the
manner set forth in Section 10.2(a). The Partnership Management Fee shall be
noncumulative so that if there is not sufficient Cash Flow in any Fiscal Year
to pay the amount of the Partnership Management Fee specified in Section
10.2(a), clause Fifth, the Partnership shall have no obligation to pay such
shortfall in any future Fiscal Year.
6.13 Delegation of General Partner Authority
(a) If there shall be more than one General Partner serving hereunder,
each General Partner may from time to time, by an instrument in writing,
delegate all or any of his powers or duties hereunder to another General
Partner or General Partners.
(b) Each contract, deed, mortgage, lease and other instrument executed
by any General Partner shall be conclusive evidence in favor of every Person
relying thereon or claiming thereunder that at the time of the delivery thereof
(i) the Partnership was in existence, (ii) this Agreement had not been amended
in any manner so as to restrict the delegation of authority among General
Partners (except as shown in certificates or other instruments duly filed in
the Filing Office) and (iii) the execution and delivery of such instrument was
duly authorized by the General Partners. Any Person may always rely on a
certificate addressed to him and signed by any General Partner hereunder:
(1) as to who are the General Partners or Limited Partners
hereunder;
(2) as to the existence or nonexistence of any fact which
constitutes a condition precedent to acts by the General Partners or in
any other manner germane to the affairs of the Partnership;
(3) as to who is authorized to execute and deliver any instrument
or document of the Partnership;
(4) as to the authenticity of any copy of this Agreement and any
amendments thereto; or
(5) as to any act or failure to act by the Partnership or as to
any other matter whatsoever involving the Partnership or any Partner.
6.14 Assignment to Partnership
The Developer and the General Partner hereby transfer and assign to the
Partnership all of their right, title and interest in and to the Apartment
Complex and in and to all of the Project Documents, including, but not limited
to, the following: (i) all contracts with architects, supervising architects,
engineers and contractors with respect to the development of the Apartment

Mortgage(s); and (v) any and all contracts or rights with respect to any
agreements with any Agency or Lender.
6.15 Contracts with Affiliates
(a) The General Partner or any Affiliate thereof may act as Management
Agent upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article XI.
(b) The General Partner or any Affiliates thereof shall have the right
to contract or otherwise deal with the Partnership for the sale of goods or
services to the Partnership in addition to those set forth herein, if (i)
compensation paid or promised for such goods or services is reasonable (i.e.,
at fair market value) and is paid only for goods or services actually furnished
to the Partnership, (ii) the goods or services to be furnished shall be
reasonable for and necessary to the Partnership, (iii) the fees, terms and
conditions of such transaction are at least as favorable to the Partnership as
would be obtainable in an arm's-length transaction, and (iv) no agent,
attorney, accountant or other independent consultant or contractor who also is
employed on a full-time basis by the General Partner or any Affiliate shall be
compensated by the Partnership for his services. Any contract covering such
transactions shall be in writing and shall be terminable without penalty on
sixty (60) days written notice. Any payment made to the General Partner or any
Affiliate for such goods or services shall be fully disclosed to all Limited
Partners in the reports required under Article XII. Neither the General
Partner nor any Affiliate shall, by the making of lump-sum payments to any
other Person for disbursement by such other Person, circumvent the provisions
of this Section 6.15(b).
6.16 Tax Matters Partner
(a) The General Partner hereby is designated as Tax Matters Partner of
the Partnership, and shall engage in such undertakings as are required of the
Tax Matters Partner of the Partnership as provided in treasury regulations
pursuant to Section 6231 of the Code. Each Partner, by the execution of this
Agreement, consents to such designation of the Tax Matters Partner and agrees
to execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the
appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to
evidence such consent.
(b) The Tax Matters Partner hereby is authorized, but not required:
(i) to enter into any settlement agreement with the Service with
respect to any tax audit or judicial review, in which agreement the Tax
Matters Partner may expressly state that such agreement shall bind the
other Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any
Partner who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and treasury
regulations thereunder) files a statement with the Service providing that
the Tax Matters Partner shall not have the authority to enter into a
settlement agreement on the behalf of such Partner;
(ii) in the event that a notice of final administrative adjustment
at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by
a Partner for tax purposes (a "Final Adjustment") is mailed to the Tax
Matters Partner, to seek judicial review of such Final Adjustment,
including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court,
the District Court of the United States for the district in which the
Partnership's principal place of business is located, or the United
States Claims Court;
(iii) to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for
judicial review of a Final Adjustment;
(iv) to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the
Service at any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by
the Service, to file an appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for
judicial review with respect to such request;
(v) to enter into an agreement with the Service to extend the
period for assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required
to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item

Partnership in connection with any administrative or judicial tax
proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or Regulations.
(c) The Partnership shall indemnify and reimburse the Tax Matters
Partner for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees, claims,
liabilities, losses and damages incurred in connection with any administrative
or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Partners. The
payment of all such expenses shall be made before any distributions are made
from Cash Flow or any discretionary reserves are set aside by the General
Partner. The General Partner shall have the obligation to provide Partnership
funds for such purpose, but only to the extent of available Partnership
resources. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the
Tax Matters Partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the
extent required by law, is a matter in the sole discretion of the Tax Matters
Partner and the provisions on limitations of liability of the General Partner
and indemnification set forth in Section 6.8 of this Agreement shall be fully
applicable to the Tax Matters Partner in its capacity as such.
ARTICLE VII
Withdrawal of a General Partner; New General Partners
7.1 Voluntary Withdrawal
(a) Except as set forth in Section 7.1(b) below, no General Partner
shall have the right to Withdraw voluntarily from the Partnership or to sell,
assign or encumber its Interest without the Consent of the Investment Limited
Partner and each of the other General Partners (if any) and, if required, any
Requisite Approvals.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) A General Partner may at any time propose to the Investment
Limited Partner a Person to serve as such General Partner's successor or
if at such time there be more than one General Partner, to serve as a
successor to one or more of the General Partners xxxxxxxx to withdraw.
If the Investment Limited Partner has consented thereto or if, pursuant
to Section 7.5, such a consent is not required, and any Requisite
Approvals are obtained to such withdrawal and the admission of such
successor, all Partners hereby agree, subject to the provisions of
Section 7.5, that this Agreement and the Certificate shall be
appropriately amended to effect such withdrawal and admission.
(ii) If the Special Limited Partner or its designee becomes a
General Partner pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.5(b), Section
5.2(e), Section 6.2(b) or Section 6.10, it shall not require the consent
of any other General Partner to transfer all or any portion of its
Interest as a General Partner, other than as may be required under the
Act.
(iii) The General Partner may pledge or assign its Interest to the
Construction Lender as security for the Partnership's obligations under
the Construction Loan Documents, provided that the form and substance of
such pledge or assignment has been approved by the Special Limited
Partner.
7.2 Reconstitution
(a) In the event of the Withdrawal of a General Partner, the
Partnership shall not be dissolved or required to be wound up if (i) at the
time of such Withdrawal there is at least one remaining General Partner and
that General Partner carries on the business of the Partnership (any such
remaining General Partner being hereby authorized to carry on the business of
the Partnership), or (ii) within ninety (90) days after such Withdrawal all
remaining Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership
and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such Withdrawal, of one or
more additional General Partners.
(b) If it is determined, by a court of competent jurisdiction, that the
Partnership has dissolved prior to the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, or if
upon the Withdrawal of a General Partner, the Partners fail to appoint a
substitute General Partner effective as of such event and to agree to continue
the business of the Partnership as provided in this Section 7.2, then within an
additional ninety (90) days after such determination or the last day of such
ninety (90) day period, as the case may be (the "Reconstitution Period"), the
Investment Limited Partner may elect to reconstitute the Partnership and
continue its business on the same terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement by forming a new limited partnership on terms identical to those set
forth in this Agreement and having as a General Partner a Person designated by
the Investment Limited Partners. Upon any such election by the Investment
Limited Partner, all Partners shall be bound thereby and shall be deemed to
have consented thereto. Unless such an election is made within the
Reconstitution Period, the Partnership shall wind up its affairs in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10.3 hereof. If such an election is made within
the Reconstitution Period, then:
(i) The reconstituted limited partnership shall continue
until the occurrence of a Liquidating Event as provided in Section
2.4;
(ii) If the successor General Partner is not a former
General Partner, then the provisions of Section 7.4(d) shall apply;
and
(iii) All necessary steps shall be taken to cancel this
Agreement and the Certificate and to enter into a new partnership
agreement and certificate of limited partnership, and the successor
General Partner shall be obligated to take such steps.
7.3 Successor General Partner
(a) Upon the occurrence of any Withdrawal, the remaining General
Partners may designate a Person to become a successor General Partner to the
Withdrawing General Partner. Except as provided in Section 7.5 and subject to
the provisions of Section 7.5, any Person so designated, subject to any
Requisite Approvals, the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner and, if
required by the Act or any other applicable law, the consent of any other
Partner so required, shall become a successor General Partner upon his written
agreement to be bound by the Project Documents and by the provisions of this
Agreement.
(b) If any Withdrawal shall occur at a time when there is no remaining
General Partner and the Partners do not unanimously elect to continue the
business of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of clause (ii) of
Section 7.2(a) above, then the Investment Limited Partner shall have the right,
subject to any Requisite Approvals and the provisions of Section 7.5, to
designate a Person to become a successor General Partner upon his written
agreement to be bound by the Project Documents and by the provisions of this
Agreement.
(c) If the Investment Limited Partner elects to reconstitute the
Partnership and admit a successor General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.3,
the relationship of the Partners in the reconstituted Partnership shall be
governed by this Agreement.
7.4 Interest of Predecessor General Partner
(a) Except as provided in Section 7.3(a), no assignee or transferee of
all or any part of the Interest as a General Partner of a General Partner shall
have any automatic right to become a General Partner. Until the acquisition of
the Interest of a Withdrawing General Partner pursuant to Section 7.4(d) or
7.8, such Interest shall be deemed to be that of an assignee and the holder
thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as an assignee may have as such
under the laws of the State.
(b) Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, any Gen-
eral Partner who Withdraws voluntarily in violation of Section 7.1 shall remain
liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement, for all its other
obligations and liabilities hereunder incurred or accrued prior to the date of
its Withdrawal and for any loss or damage which the Partnership or any of its
Partners may incur as a result of such Withdrawal (except as provided in
Section 6.7), except for any loss or damage attributable to the default,
negligence or misconduct of a successor General Partner admitted in its place
under this Agreement.
(c) The estate (which term, for purposes of this Section 7.4(c), shall
include the heirs, distributees, estate, executors, administrators, guardian,
committee, trustee or other personal representative) of a Withdrawn General
Partner shall be liable for all his liabilities and obligations hereunder,
except as provided in this Section 7.4(c). In the event of the death, insanity
or incompetency of a General Partner, his estate shall remain liable for all of
his obligations and liabilities hereunder incurred or accrued prior to the date
of such event, and for any damages arising out of any breach of this Agreement
by him, but his estate shall not have any obligation or liability on account of
the business of the Partnership or the activities of the other General Partners
after his death, insanity or incompetency unless it becomes a General Partner
pursuant to Section 7.3(a).
(d) The Disposition of the General Partner Interest of a General
Partner who or which Withdraws voluntarily in compliance with this Agreement
shall be accomplished in such manner as shall be acceptable to the remaining
General Partners and shall be approved by Consent of the Investment Limited
Partner. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, upon the Withdrawal of
a General Partner (other than a General Partner who or which is removed as such
pursuant to Section 4.5), such Withdrawn General Partner shall be deemed to
have automatically transferred to the remaining General Partners, in proportion
to their respective General Partner Interests, or, if there shall be no
remaining General Partner, then to the Partnership for the benefit of the
remaining Partners, all or such portion of the General Partner Interest of such
Withdrawn General Partner which, when aggregated with the existing General
Partner Interests of all such remaining General Partners, will be sufficient to
assure such remaining General Partners a 1% interest in all Profits, Losses,
Tax Credits and distributions of the Partnership under Article X. No
documentation shall be necessary to effectuate such transfer, which shall be
automatic, and no consideration shall be payable therefor. For the purposes of
Article X, the effective date of the transfer pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 7.4(d) of the General Partner Interest of a Withdrawn General
Partner shall be deemed to be the date on which such Withdrawal occurs. That
portion of the General Partner Interest (the "Remaining Interest") of the
Withdrawing General Partner which shall not have been transferred pursuant to
this Section 7.4(d) shall be (i) purchased by the Partnership in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7.8 in the case of a General Partner who or
which Withdraws in violation of Section 7.1 hereof and (ii) in all other cases
(except a removed General Partner), shall be retained by such Withdrawing
General Partner (or pass to legal representatives thereof) who or which shall
have the status of a Special Limited Partner, but with the right to receive
only that share of the Profits, Losses, Tax Credits and distributions of the
Partnership to which the Withdrawing General Partner, as such, would have been
entitled had he or it remained, reduced to the extent of the General Partner
Interest transferred hereunder, but such Withdrawing Partner (or his or its
legal representatives, as the case may be) shall not be considered to be a
Special Limited Partner for the purpose of exercising any rights reserved to
the Special Limited Partner under this Agreement or sharing the benefits
allocated to the Special Limited Partner under Article X hereof and shall not
participate in the votes or consents of the Limited Partners hereunder;
provided, however, that in the case of a General Partner who or which Withdraws
involuntarily without violation of this Agreement, the Partnership shall have
the option (but not the obligation), exercisable by notice to the holder of
such Interest within six months following the date of such Withdrawal, to
acquire the Remaining Interest of such Withdrawing General Partner (or the
Special Limited Partner Interest deriving therefrom) in accordance with the
valuation and payment provisions of Section 7.8.
7.5 Event of Bankruptcy as to a General Partner; Removal of a General
Partner and Transfer of Its Interest
(a) If an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred as to a General Part-
ner, the Special Limited Partner may (i) replace such General Partner with a
successor general partner (the "Successor") willing to serve as a General
Partner and reallocate to the Successor (and the bankrupt General Partner
hereby assigns to the Successor in such event) the interest of the bankrupt
General Partner in Profits, Losses, Tax Credits, Cash Flow and Capital Proceeds
(provided, however, that in no event shall any fees which are earned be so
reallocated), or (ii) add an additional General Partner willing to serve as
such with such of the powers of the bankrupt General Partner hereunder as the
Special Limited Partner may designate and make a similar reallocation to that
contemplated by the foregoing clause (i), which the bankrupt General Partner
hereby ratifies in such event. Upon the selection of the Successor as
aforesaid and his admission as a General Partner, the bankrupt General Partner
shall not have any further rights, powers, liabilities or obligations under
this Agreement and/or in respect of the Apartment Complex, provided, however,
that the bankrupt General Partner shall continue to be responsible for (1) any
loss caused by the nonperformance of its obligations under this Agreement
and/or in respect of the Apartment Complex to be performed prior to the
Completion Date and (2) the furnishing of any funds required to be furnished by
it under Sections 6.10 and 6.11 (any such sums advanced by the bankrupt General
Partner pursuant to this clause (2) shall be deemed to be Capital Contributions
except to the extent treated as Subordinated Loans pursuant to Section 6.10).
If all or any part of the General Partner Interest of a General Partner is
reallocated pursuant to this Section 7.5, such General Partner shall be
entitled to receive the fair market value of the Interest (or portion thereof)
so reallocated; such fair market value shall be determined and paid in
accordance with Section 7.8. No exercise of rights pursuant to this
Section 7.5 need be delayed pending determination of such value.
(b) From and after the date of the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy
as to any General Partner, the obligation of the Investment Limited Partner to
pay the Installments shall be suspended, and such obligation shall be
reinstated only when such Event of Bankruptcy shall have been cured in a manner
approved in writing by the Special Limited Partner. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if an Event of Bankruptcy occurs as to a General Partner when
another viable General Partner remains who is not in default with respect to
its obligations hereunder, the payment obligation of the Investment Limited
Partners shall be suspended only if such Event of Bankruptcy has a material
adverse impact on the Investment Limited Partner's tax benefits hereunder for
which the Investment Limited Partner has not been fully compensated under the
adjuster provisions set forth in Section 5.1.
(c) Each Partner (including any General Partner removed as aforesaid)
hereby irrevocably nominates and appoints the Special Limited Partner and each
of its officers, with full power of substitution, as the attorney-in-fact of
such Partner, in his name, place and xxxxx, to make, execute and deliver any
and all amendments to this Agreement, the Certificate, business certificates
and instruments of like tenor which may be necessary or appropriate to give
effect to the provisions of this Section 7.5.
(d) Inasmuch as the interests of the Partners under this Agreement
depend on the continuing existence of viable General Partners willing and able
to perform the functions of the General Partners under this Agreement, the
rights of, and payments to, the General Partners have been agreed on in con-
sideration, among other things, of the agreement and ability of the General
Partners to perform such functions, and the inclusion of this Section 7.5 in
this Agreement has been a material inducement to each of the Investment Limited
Partner and the Special Limited Partner to enter into this Agreement. Each
Partner hereby ratifies and confirms any action authorized by the provisions of
this Section 7.5.
7.6 Designation of New General Partners
(a) The General Partners may, with the written consent of all Partners,
at any time designate new General Partners, each with such Interest as a
General Partner in the Partnership as the General Partners may specify, subject
to any Requisite Approvals.
(b) Any new General Partner shall, as a condition of receiving any
interest in the Partnership property, agree to be bound by the Project
Documents and any other documents required in connection therewith and by the
provisions of this Agreement, to the same extent and on the same terms as any
other General Partner.
7.7 Amendment of Certificate; Approval of Certain Events
(a) Upon the admission of a new General Partner pursuant to the
preceding provisions of this Article VII, Schedule A shall be amended to
reflect such admission and an amendment to the Certificate, also reflecting
such admission, shall be filed as required by the Act.
(b) Each Partner hereby consents to and authorizes any admission or
substitution of a General Partner or any other transaction, including, without
limitation, the continuation of the Partnership business, which has been
authorized under the provisions of this Agreement, and hereby ratifies and
confirms each amendment of this Agreement necessary or appropriate to give
effect to any such transaction.
7.8 Valuation and Sale of Interest of Former General Partner
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.4(d), if the business of the
Partnership is continued after the Withdrawal of a General Partner, or if,
following such event, the Partnership is reconstituted, in each case as
contemplated by this Agreement, the Partnership shall purchase such General
Partner's Interest (which term, and words of like import, as used in this
Section 7.8 shall refer only to the "Remaining Interest" of such Withdrawing
General Partner as defined in Section 7.4(d) in all cases where applicable) for
a price equal to the fair market value thereof. The fair market value shall be
based upon either the agreed value of such Interest or, if such value is not
agreed to, the fair market value of such Interest as determined by a qualified,
MAI-designated state-licensed real estate appraiser selected by the Withdrawing
General Partner. If the Partnership does not accept such value, it may select
a second similarly-qualified appraiser. If the values determined by both such
appraisers are within 10%, then the purchase price shall be the arithmetic mean
of the two. If the values differ by more than 10%, then the two appraisers
shall appoint a third similarly-qualified appraiser, who shall also determine a
value. The final purchase price shall be the arithmetic mean of the two values
closest in absolute dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a General
Partner is removed for cause, or if a General Partner has voluntarily Withdrawn
from the Partnership in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, the
purchase price paid to such General Partner for its Interest shall be reduced
by an amount determined by an arbitrator mutually agreeable to the Partnership
and the General Partner to adequately compensate the Partnership for the action
of such General Partner leading to its removal, or for the fact of its
violation of the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Promptly after the determination of the purchase price of a former
General Partner's Interest pursuant to Section 7.8(a), the Partnership shall
deliver to such former General Partner a promissory note of the Partnership for
such purchase price, payable in five equal consecutive annual installments
commencing on the first anniversary of the date of such note. Such promissory
note shall bear simple interest at the rate per annum which is at all times
equal to the AFR then in effect for obligations of like term, payable on the
last day of each calendar quarter during which such note is outstanding;
provided, however, that if such note is delivered following a Withdrawal of a
General Partner which is voluntary on its part in violation of this Agreement
or a removal for cause, then (i) such note shall neither be secured nor bear
interest, and (ii) the principal payable to the withdrawing General Partner
shall be limited in amount and date of payment to distributions available from
the proceeds of a Capital Transaction as set forth in Section 10.2(b). Within
120 days after the determination of the purchase price of the former General
Partner's Interest, the Partnership may, with the consent of all remaining
General Partners and the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner, sell such
Interest to one or more Persons, who may be Affiliates of the remaining General
Partner or General Partners, and admit such Person or Persons to the
Partnership as substitute General Partners; provided, however, that the
purchase price to be paid to the Partnership for the Interest of the former
General Partner shall not be less than its purchase price as determined by the
appraisal and, if applicable, arbitration described above. Such substitute
General Partner or Partners may pay said purchase price in installments in the
manner set forth above in this Section 7.8(b).
ARTICLE VIII
Transferability of Limited Partner Interests
8.1 Assignments
(a) Except by operation of law (including the laws of descent and
distribution) or pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1(b), no Limited
Partner may assign all or any part of its Interest without the written consent
of the General Partner, the giving or withholding of which is exclusively
within its discretion.
(b) A Limited Partner, without the consent of the General Partner, may
assign to any Person all or any portion of the economic benefits of the
ownership of such Limited Partner's Interest; provided, however, that such
assignment shall not be binding on the Partnership until there shall have been
filed with the Partnership by registered mail certified copies of an executed
and acknowledged assignment and the written acceptance by the assignee of all
the terms and provisions of this Agreement; if such assignment and acceptance
are not so filed, the Partnership need not recognize such assignment for any
purpose. An assignee of a Limited Partner who does not become a Substituted
Limited Partner shall have the right to receive the allocable share of any
Profits, Losses, Tax Credits or distributions of the Partnership to which the
assigning Limited Partner would have been entitled with respect to the Interest
(or portion thereof) so assigned if no such assignment had been made by such
Limited Partner. Any assigning Limited Partner whose permitted assignee
becomes a Substituted Limited Partner shall thereupon cease to be a Limited
Partner and shall no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a Limited
Partner. Where the assignee does not become a Substituted Limited Partner, the
Partnership shall recognize such assignment not later than the last day of the
calendar month following receipt of notice of assignment and all documentation
required in connection therewith.
(c) Each assignee of a Limited Partner Interest (or any portion
thereof) who desires to make a further assignment of its Interest shall be
subject to all the provisions of this Article VIII.
8.2 Substituted Limited Partner
(a) No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute an assignee
as Limited Partner in its place. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.3, the
General Partner may, in its sole discretion, permit an assignee to become a
Substituted Limited Partner. The consent of the General Partner to an
assignment of a Limited Partner's Interest under Section 8.1 shall not, in and
of itself, constitute its consent to the admission of the assignee as a
Substituted Limited Partner under this Section 8.2.
(b) Any Substituted Limited Partner shall execute such instrument or
instruments as shall be required by the General Partner to signify the
agreement of such Substituted Limited Partner to be bound by all the provisions
of this Agreement and shall pay the Partnership's reasonable legal fees and
filing costs in connection with its substitution as a Limited Partner.
8.3 Restrictions
(a) No Disposition of a Limited Partner Interest may be made if such
Disposition would violate the provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.2 or 13.1.
(b) In no event shall all or any part of a Limited Partner Interest be
Disposed of to a minor (other than to a descendant by reason of death) or to an
incompetent.
(c) The General Partner may, in addition to any other requirement it
may impose, require as a condition of any Disposition of a Limited Partner
Interest that the transferor (i) assume all costs incurred by the Partnership
in connection therewith and (ii) furnish the Partnership and the other Partners
with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to counsel to the Partnership that such
Disposition complies with applicable federal and state securities laws.
(d) Any sale, exchange, transfer or other Disposition of a Limited
Partner Interest in contravention of any of the provisions of this Section 8.3
shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by the
Partnership.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Article VIII,
if at any time there is more than one Investment Limited Partner, each
Investment Limited Partner shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the
Interest of any other Investment Limited Partner who wishes to sell or
otherwise transfer its Interest at a price equal to and on terms identical to
those of the prospective purchaser thereof, to the extent reasonably practical,
and shall have at least fifteen (15) business days in which to exercise such
right after receiving notice thereof. If there shall be more than two non-
selling or transferring Investment Limited Partners, each of which desires to
exercise such a right of first refusal, they may do so pro rata or, to the
extent one does not so desire to exercise such right, to the extent of the
entire Interest being so sold or transferred.
ARTICLE IX
Borrowings
All Partnership borrowings shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement and may be made from any source, including Partners and their
Affiliates. Any Partnership borrowings from any Partner shall be subject to
any Requisite Approvals. If any Partner shall lend any monies to the
Partnership, the amount of any such loan shall not increase such Partner's
Capital Contribution. If any Partner shall so lend monies, each such loan (a
"Voluntary Loan") shall be an obligation of the Partnership and (except for
Subordinated Loans) shall be repayable to such Partner on the same basis and
with the same rate of interest as would be applicable to a comparable loan to
the Partnership from a third party. Funds advanced by the General Partner to
the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.11 shall not constitute
borrowings for the purposes of this Article IX or for any other purposes.
ARTICLE X
Profits, Losses, Tax Credits, Distributions and Capital Accounts
10.1 Profits, Losses and Tax Credits
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1(b) and Section 10.4, for
each Partnership Fiscal Year or portion thereof, all Operating Profits and
Losses, tax-exempt income, losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable
expenditures and Tax Credits incurred or accrued on or after the Commencement
Date shall be allocated ninety-nine percent (99%) to the Investment Limited
Partner and one percent (1%) to the General Partner, provided, however, that in
any Fiscal Year in which Operating Profits are generated, such Operating
Profits shall be allocated to and among the Partners in the same percentages as
distributions of Cash Flow are made pursuant to Clause Sixth of
Section 10.2(a).
(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Article, all
Profits and Losses arising from a Capital Transaction shall be allocated to the
Partners as follows:
As to Profits:
First, that portion of Profits (including any Profits treated
as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes) shall be
allocated to the Partners who have negative Capital Account
balances in proportion to the amounts of such balances, provided
that no Profits shall be allocated to a Partner under this Clause
First to increase any such Partner's Capital Account above zero;
and
Second, Profits in excess of the amounts allocated under
Clause First above shall be allocated to and among the Partners in
the same percentages as cash is distributed under Clauses Seventh,
Eighth and Ninth of Section 10.2(b);
As to Losses:
First, an amount of Losses shall be allocated to the Partners
to the extent and in such proportions as shall be necessary such
that, after giving effect thereto, the respective balances in all
Partners' Capital Accounts shall be in the ratio of 99% for the
Investment Limited Partner and 1% for the General Partner;
Second, an amount of Losses shall be allocated to the
Partners until the balance in each Partner Capital Account equals
the amount of such Partner's Capital Contribution (after the
allocation under Clause First above);
Third, an amount of Losses shall be allocated to the Partners
to the extent of and in proportion to such Partners' Capital
Account balances (after the allocations under Clauses First and
Second above); and
Fourth, any remaining amount of Losses after the allocation
under Clauses First, Second and Third above shall be allocated to
the Partners in accordance with the manner in which they bear the
Economic Risk of Loss associated with such Loss; provided, however,
that in the event that no Partner bears an Economic Risk of Loss
then any remaining Losses shall be allocated 99% to the Investment
Limited Partner and 1% to the General Partner.
10.2 Cash Distributions Prior to Dissolution
(a) Cash Flow
Subject to any Requisite Approvals, Cash Flow for each Fiscal Year
or portion thereof shall be applied as follows:
First, to the payment of the Asset Management Fee for such
Fiscal Year and for any previous Fiscal Year(s) as to which the
Asset Management Fee shall not yet have been paid in full;
Second, to the payment of any unpaid portion of the
Development Fee;
Third, to the repayment of any Subordinated Loans, with any
such payments to be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest

Sixth, the balance thereof, if any, shall be distributed
annually, seventy-five (75) days after the end of the Fiscal Year,
20% to the Investment Limited Partner and 80% to the General
Partner.
(b) Distributions of Capital Proceeds
Prior to dissolution and subject to the provisions of
Section 4.2(c), if Capital Proceeds are available for distribution from a
Capital Transaction, such Capital Proceeds shall be applied or distributed as
follows:
First, to the payment of all matured debts and liabilities of
the Partnership (including, but not limited to, all expenses of the
Partnership incident to such Capital Transaction, excluding
(i) debts and liabilities of the Partnership to Partners or their
Affiliates, (ii) all unpaid fees owing to the General Partner or
its Affiliates and (iii) notes delivered and payable pursuant to
Section 7.8(b)(i) and (ii); and to the establishment of any
reserves which the General Partner and the Auditors shall deem
reasonably necessary for contingent, unmatured or unforeseen
liabilities or obligations of the Partnership;
Second, to the payment of any accrued and unpaid Asset
Management Fees;
Third, to the payment to the Investment Limited Partner of
the full amount (including interest) of any Credit Recovery Loans;

but not limited to, accrued and unpaid amounts due in respect of
any and all fees (including but not limited to the Development Fee)
due and payable to the General Partner or its Affiliates as set

thereof pursuant to this Clause Fifth shall be repaid prior to the
repayment of any such debts or obligations to any General Partner
or Affiliate thereof;
Sixth, to the payment to each Limited Partner of an amount
equal to its Invested Amount, in each case minus any prior
distributions made to such Partner under this Clause Sixth, but
never an amount less than zero;
Seventh, to the payment to each General Partner of an amount
equal to its Invested Amount in each case minus any prior
distributions made to such Partner under this Clause Seventh, but
never an amount less than zero;
Eighth, subject to the provisions of Section 10.3(a), any
balance 19.999% to the Investment Limited Partner, .001% to the
Special Limited Partner and 80% to the General Partner.
10.3 Distributions Upon Dissolution
(a) Upon dissolution and termination, after payment of, or adequate
provision for, the debts and obligations of the Partnership, the remaining
assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance
with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts after taking into account
all Capital Account adjustments for the Partnership Fiscal Year, including
adjustments to Capital Accounts pursuant to Sections 10.1(b) and 10.3(b). In
the event that a General Partner or Additional Limited Partner has a negative
balance in its Capital Account following the liquidation of the Partnership or
such Partner's Interest, after taking into account all Capital Account
adjustments for the Partnership Fiscal Year in which such liquidation occurs,
such Partner shall pay to the Partnership in cash an amount equal to the
negative balance in such Partner's Capital Account. Such payment shall be made
by the end of such Fiscal Year (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after the
date of such liquidation) and shall, upon liquidation of the Partnership, be
paid to recourse creditors of the Partnership or distributed to other Partners
in accordance with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts.
(b) With respect to assets distributed in kind to the Partners in
liquidation or otherwise, (i) any unrealized appreciation or unrealized
depreciation in the values of such assets shall be deemed to be Profits and
Losses realized by the Partnership immediately prior to the liquidation or
other distribution event; and (ii) such Profits and Losses shall be allocated
to the Partners in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1(b), and any
property so distributed shall be treated as a distribution of an amount in cash
equal to the excess of such fair market value over the outstanding principal
balance of and accrued interest on any debt by which the property is
encumbered. For the purposes of this Section 10.3(b), the terms "unrealized
appreciation" or "unrealized depreciation" shall mean the difference between
the fair market value of such assets, taking into account the fair market value
of the associated financing (but subject to the provisions of Section 7701(g)
of the Code), and the Partnership's adjusted basis for such assets as
determined under the applicable provisions of the Allocation Regulations. This
Section 10.3(b) is merely intended to provide a rule for allocating unrealized
gains and losses upon liquidation or other distribution event, and nothing
contained in this Section 10.3(b) or elsewhere herein is intended to treat or
cause such distributions to be treated as sales for value. The fair market
value of such assets shall be determined by an appraiser to be selected by the
General Partner with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner.
10.4 Special Provisions
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Profits, tax-
exempt income, Losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable expenditures, Tax
Credits and cash distributions shared by a class of Partners shall be shared by
each Partner in such class in the ratio of such Partner's paid-in Capital
Contribution to the paid-in Class Contribution of the class of Partners of
which such Partner is a member.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article X:
(i) If (a) the Partnership incurs recourse obligations or Partner
Nonrecourse Debt (including, without limitation, Voluntary Loans or
Subordinated Loans) or (b) the Partnership incurs Losses from
extraordinary events which are not recovered from insurance or otherwise
(collectively "Recourse Obligations") in respect of any Partnership
Fiscal Year, then the calculation and allocation of Profits and Losses
shall be adjusted as follows: first, an amount of deductions
attributable to the Recourse Obligations shall be allocated to the
General Partner; and second, the balance of such deductions shall be
allocated as provided in Section 10.1(a).
(ii) If any Profits arise from the sale or other disposition of
any Partnership asset which shall be treated as ordinary income under the
depreciation recapture provisions of the Code, then the full amount of
such ordinary income shall be allocated among the Partners in the
proportions that the Partnership deductions from the depreciation giving
rise to such recapture were actually allocated. In the event that
subsequently-enacted provisions of the Code result in other recapture
income, no allocation of such recapture income shall be made to any
Partner who has not received the benefit of those items giving rise to
such other recapture income.
(iii) If the Partnership shall receive any purchase money
indebtedness in partial payment of the purchase price of the Apartment
Complex and such indebtedness is distributed to the Partners pursuant to
the provisions of Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.3, the distributions of
the cash portion of such purchase price and the principal amount of such
purchase money indebtedness hereunder shall be allocated among the
Partners in the following manner: On the basis of the sum of the
principal amount of the purchase money indebtedness and cash payments
received on the sale (net of amounts required to pay Partnership
obligations and fund reasonable reserves), there shall be calculated the
percentage of the total net proceeds distributable to each class of
Partners based on Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.3, as applicable,
treating cash payments and purchase money indebtedness principal
interchangeably for this purpose, and the respective classes shall
receive such respective percentages of the net cash purchase price and
purchase money principal. Payments on such purchase money indebtedness
retained by the Partnership shall be distributed in accordance with the
respective portions of principal allocated to the respective classes of
Partners in accordance with the preceding sentence, and if any such
purchase money indebtedness shall be sold, the sale proceeds shall be
allocated in the same proportion.
(iv) Income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any asset
which has a variation between its basis computed in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Allocation Regulations and its basis
computed for federal income tax purposes shall be shared among the
Partners so as to take account of such variation in a manner consistent
with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(iv)(g) of the Allocation Regulations.
(v) The terms "Profits" and "Losses" used in this Agreement shall
mean income and losses, and each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or
credit entering into the computation thereof, as determined in accordance
with the accounting methods followed by the Partnership and computed in
accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Profits
and Losses for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same
manner as set forth in this Article X, except as provided in Section
10.4(b)(iv).
(vi) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated 1% to the General
Partner and 99% to the Investment Limited Partner.
(vii) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to and
among the Partners in the manner provided in the Allocation Regulations.
(viii) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4(b)(xix), if there
is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for a Partnership Fiscal
Year, the Partners shall be allocated items of Partnership income and
gain in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.704-(2)(f) of the
Allocation Regulations.
(ix) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4(b)(xix), if there
is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for a
Partnership Fiscal Year then any Partner with a Share of such Partner
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be allocated items of Partnership
income and gain in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.704-
2(i)(4) of the Allocation Regulations.
(x) Subject to the provisions of 10.4(b)(vi) through 10.4(b)(ix)
above, in the event that any Limited Partner unexpectedly receives any
adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Allocation Regulations, items of
Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such
Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent
required by the Allocation Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit of such Limited Partner as quickly as possible. This Section
10.4(b)(x) is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset"
provision within the meaning of the Allocation Regulations and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith.
(xi) Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.4(b)(vi) through
10.4(b)(x) above, in no event shall any Limited Partner be allocated
Losses which would cause it to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit
as of the end of any Partnership Fiscal Year. Any Losses which are not
allocated to a Limited Partner by reason of the application of the
provisions of this Section 10.4(b)(xi) shall be allocated to the General
Partner.
(xii) Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.4(b)(vi) through
10.4(b)(xi) above, in the event that any Limited Partner has an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Partnership Fiscal Year, items
of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such
Limited Partner in the amount of such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as
quickly as possible.
(xiii) Syndication Expenses for any Fiscal Year or other period
shall be specially allocated to the Investment Limited Partner.
(xiv) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, Tax Credits
or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, Tax Credits
and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or
other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible
method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(xv) To the extent that interest on loans (or other advances which
are deemed to be loans) made by a General Partner to the Partnership is
determined to be deductible by the Partnership in excess of the amount of
interest actually paid by the Partnership, such additional interest
deduction(s) shall be allocated solely to such General Partner.
(xvi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the General Partner (or, if there is more than one General Partner, all
of the General Partners as a group) shall be allocated not less than 1%
of each material item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit ("Partnership Items") at all times during the existence of the
Partnership, provided, however, that temporary nonconformance with the
provisions of this Section 10.4(b)(xvi) shall be permitted to the extent
permitted by Revenue Procedure 89-12 or any successor provisions.
Subject to the foregoing, in the event that there is no allocation of a
material Partnership Item to the General Partner(s) hereunder or if the
amount of any material Partnership Item allocable to the General
Partner(s) hereunder shall not equal 1% of the aggregate amount allocable
to all the Partners without giving effect to this provision, then the
amount of such Partnership Item(s) otherwise allocable to the Limited
Partners hereunder shall be correspondingly reduced in order to assure
the General Partner(s) of its or their 1% share. Any such reduction
shall be applied to reduce the share of all classes of Limited Partners
in proportion to their respective Interests.
(xvii) For purposes of determining each Partner's proportionate
share of the excess Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership pursuant
to Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Allocation Regulations, the Investment
Limited Partner shall be deemed to have a 99% interest in Profits and the
General Partner shall be deemed to have a 1% interest in Profits.
(xviii) Any recapture of any Tax Credit shall be allocated to
and among the Partners in the same manner in which the Partners share the
expenditures giving rise to such Tax Credit.
(xix) If for any Fiscal Year the application of the minimum gain
chargeback provisions of Section 10.4(b)(viii) or Section 10.4(b)(ix) of
this Agreement would cause distortion in the economic arrangement among
the Partners and it is not expected that the Partnership will have
sufficient other income to correct that distortion, the General Partner
may request a waiver from the Commissioner of the Service of the
application in whole or in part of Section 10.4(b)(viii) or Section
10.4(b)(ix) in accordance with Section 1.704-2(f)(4) of the Allocation
Regulations. Furthermore, if additional exceptions to the minimum gain
chargeback requirements of the Allocation Regulations have been provided
through revenue rulings or other Service pronouncements, the General
Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership to take advantage of such
exceptions if to do so would be in the best interest of a majority in
interest of the Partners.
(xx) In the event that any fee payable to any General Partner or
any Affiliate thereof shall instead be determined to be a non-deductible,
non-capitalizable distribution from the Partnership to a Partner for
federal income tax purposes, then there shall be allocated to such
General Partner an amount of gross income equal to the amount of such
distribution.
(xxi) In applying the provisions of Article X with respect to
distributions and allocations, the following ordering of priorities shall
apply:
(1) Capital Accounts shall be deemed to be reduced by
Qualified Income Offset Items.
(2) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by distributions of
Cash Flow under Clause Sixth of Section 10.2(a).
(3) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by distributions of
Capital Proceeds under Clauses Sixth, Seventh, or
Eighth of Section 10.2(b).
(4) Capital Accounts shall be increased by any minimum gain
chargeback under Section 10.4(b)(viii) or Section
10.4(b)(ix).
(5) Capital Accounts shall be increased by any qualified
income offset required under Section 10.4(b)(x).
(6) Capital Accounts shall be increased by allocations of
Operating Profits under Section 10.1(a).
(7) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by allocations of
Operating Losses under Section 10.1(a).
(8) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by allocations of
Losses under Section 10.1(b).
(9) Capital Accounts shall be increased by allocations of
Profits under Section 10.1(b).
(xxii) To the maximum extent permitted under the Code, allocations
of Profits and Losses shall be modified so that the Partners' Capital
Accounts reflect the amount they would have reflected if adjustments
required by Sections 10.4(b)(x), 10.4(b)(xi) and 10.4(b)(xii) had not
occurred.
10.5 Authority of the General Partner to Vary Allocations to Preserve
and Protect the Partners' Intent
(a) It is the intent of the Partners that each Partner's distributive
share of Profits, tax-exempt income, Losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable
expenditures and Tax Credits (and items thereof) shall be determined and
allocated in accordance with this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by
Section 704(b) of the Code and the Allocation Regulations. In order to
preserve and protect the determinations and allocations provided for in this
Agreement, the General Partner is hereby authorized and directed to allocate
Profits, tax-exempt income, Losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable
expenditures and credits (and items thereof) arising in any Fiscal Year
differently than otherwise provided for in this Agreement to the extent that
allocating Profits, tax-exempt income, Losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable
expenditures or credits (or any item thereof) in the manner provided for herein
would cause the determinations and allocations of each Partner's distributive
share of Profits, tax-exempt income, Losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable
expenditures or credits (or any item thereof) not to be permitted by Section
704(b) of the Code. Any allocation made pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be
deemed to be a complete substitute for any allocation otherwise provided for in
this Agreement, and no amendment of this Agreement or approval of any Partner
shall be required.
(b) In making any allocation (the "New Allocation") under Section
10.5(a), the General Partner is authorized to act only after having been
advised in writing by the Tax Accountants that, under Section 704(b) of the
Code and/or the Allocation Regulations, (i) the New Allocation is necessary,
and (ii) the New Allocation is the minimum modification of the allocations
otherwise provided for in this Agreement necessary in order to assure that,
either in the then-current Fiscal Year or in any preceding Fiscal Year, each
Partner's distributive share of Profits, tax-exempt income, Losses, non-
deductible non-capitalizable expenditures and Tax Credits (or any item thereof)
is determined and allocated in accordance with this Agreement to the fullest
extent permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code and the Allocation Regulations.
(c) If the General Partner is required by Section 10.5(a) to make any
New Allocation in a manner less favorable to the Limited Partners than is
otherwise provided for herein, then the General Partner is authorized and
directed, only after having been advised in writing by the Tax Accountants that
such an allocation is permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code and the
Allocation Regulations, to allocate Profits, tax-exempt income, Losses, non-
deductible non-capitalizable expenditures and credits (and any item thereof)
arising in later years in such manner so as to bring the allocations of
Profits, tax-exempt income, Losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable
expenditures and credits (and each item thereof) to the Limited Partners as
nearly as possible to the allocations thereof otherwise contemplated by this
Agreement.
(d) New Allocations made by the General Partner under Section 10.5(a)
and Section 10.5(c) in reliance upon the advice of the Tax Accountants shall be
deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary obligation of the General Partner
to the Partnership and the Limited Partners, and no such allocation shall give
rise to any claim or cause of action by any Limited Partner.
ARTICLE XI
Management Agent
11.1 General
The General Partner shall engage the Management Agent to manage the
Apartment Complex pursuant to the Management Agreement. The Management Agent
shall receive a Management Fee of those amounts payable from time to time by
the Partnership to the Management Agent for management services in accordance
with a management contract approved by any Agency or Lender with the right to
approve the same, or, when any such management contract is not subject to the
approval of any Agency or Lender, in accordance with a reasonable and
competitive fee arrangement. The initial Management Agent shall be Mondel
Enterprises. From and after the Admission Date, the Partnership shall not
enter into any Management Agreement or modify or extend any Management

of the Special Limited Partner to the identity of the Management Agent and the
terms of the Management Agreement or the modification or extension thereof and
(ii) such new Management Agreement or modified or extended Management Agreement
provides that it is terminable by the Partnership on thirty (30) days' notice
by the Partnership in the event of any change in the identity of the General
Partner.
11.2 Fees
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1, however, should the
Investment General Partner or an Affiliate thereof perform property management
services for the Partnership, property management, rent-up or leasing fees
shall be paid to the Investment General Partner or such Affiliate only for
services actually rendered and shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
fees competitive in price and terms with those of non-affiliated Persons
rendering comparable services in the locality where the Apartment Complex is
located and which could reasonably be available to the Partnership, or (ii)
five percent (5%) of the gross revenues of the Apartment Complex. No duplicate
property manager fees shall be paid to any Person.
11.3 Removal and Replacement
If (i) the Apartment Complex shall be subject to a substantial building
code violation which shall not have been cured within six months after notice
from a Governmental Authority or (ii) the Partnership shall not have achieved
a 1.15 to 1.00 Debt Service Coverage Ratio during any Fiscal Year commencing on
January 1, 1997, or (iii) an Event of Bankruptcy shall occur with respect to
the Management Agent, or (iv) the Management Agent shall commit willful
misconduct or gross negligence in its conduct of its duties and obligations
under the Management Agreement or (v) there is any change in the Persons acting
as General Partners (to which the Special Limited Partner has not consented),
or (vi) the Management Agent is cited by the Credit Agency or any other Tax
Credit monitoring or compliance agency of the State or any other Governmental
Authority for a violation or alleged violation of any applicable rules,
regulations or requirements, including, without limitation, non-compliance with
the Minimum Set-Aside Test, the Rent Restriction Test or any other Tax
Credit-related provision, then, upon request by the Special Limited Partner and
subject to Agency and Lender approval, if required, the General Partner shall
cause the Partnership to promptly terminate the Management Agreement with the
Management Agent and appoint a new Management Agent selected by the Special
Limited Partner, which new Management Agent shall not be an Affiliate of a
General Partner. Each General Partner hereby grants to the Special Limited
Partner an irrevocable (to the extent permitted by applicable law) power of
attorney coupled with an interest to take any action and to execute and deliver
any and all documents and instruments on behalf of such General Partner and the
Partnership as the Special Limited Partner may deem to be necessary or
appropriate in order to effectuate the provisions of this Article XI. Subject
to any Requisite Approvals, the Partnership shall not enter into any future
management arrangement or renew or extend any existing management arrangement
unless such arrangement is terminable without penalty upon the occurrence of
the events described in this Article XI.
11.4 Lack of Management Agent
The General Partner shall have the duty to manage the Apartment Complex
during any period when there is no Management Agent.
ARTICLE XII
Books and Records, Accounting, Tax Elections, Etc.
12.1 Books and Records
The Partnership shall maintain all books and records which are required
under the Act or by any Governmental Authority and may maintain such other
books and records as the General Partner in its discretion deems advisable.
Each Limited Partner, or its duly authorized representatives, shall have access
to the records of the Partnership at the principal office of the Partnership at
any and all reasonable times, and may inspect and copy any of such records. A
list of the name and addresses of all of the Limited Partners shall be
maintained as part of the books and records of the Partnership and shall be
mailed to any Limited Partner upon request. The Partnership may require
reimbursement for any out of pocket expenses which it incurs as a result of the
exercise by any Limited Partner of its rights under this Section 12.1,
including, without limitation, photocopying expenses.
12.2 Bank Accounts
The bank accounts of the Partnership shall be maintained in the
Partnership's name with such financial institutions as the General Partner
shall determine. Withdrawals shall be made only in the regular course of
Partnership business on such signature or signatures as the General Partner may
determine. All deposits (including security deposits and other funds required
to be escrowed by any Lender or Agency) and other funds not needed in the
operation of the business shall be deposited, if required by applicable law and
to the extent permitted by applicable Agency or Lender requirements, in
interest bearing accounts or invested in United States Government obligations
maturing within one year.
12.3 Auditors
(a) The Auditors shall prepare, for execution by the General Partner,
all tax returns of the Partnership. Prior to the filing of the Partnership tax
returns, and in no event later than February 1 of each Fiscal Year, the
Auditors shall deliver the tax returns for the prior Fiscal Year to the Tax
Accountants for their review and comment. If a dispute arises between the
Auditors and the Tax Accountants over the proper preparation of the tax returns
and such dispute cannot be resolved by the Auditors and the Tax Accountants by
March 1 of such Fiscal Year, then the Tax Accountants shall make the final
decision with respect to whether any changes are necessary. The Partnership
shall reimburse the Investment Limited Partner and its Affiliates for all costs
and expenses paid to the Tax Accountants for the aforementioned services.
(b) The Auditors shall certify all annual financial reports to the
Partners in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
(c) If the Partnership fails to fulfill any of its obligations under
Section 12.7(a)(i) and/or Section 12.7(a)(ii) within the time periods set forth
therein, at any time thereafter upon written notice from the Special Limited
Partner, the General Partner shall appoint replacement Auditors. If no such
notice from the Special Limited Partner is delivered, the Consent of the
Special Limited Partner must be received to the appointment of replacement
Auditors. If the General Partner fails to appoint replacement Auditors within
thirty (30) days of the notice from the Special Limited Partner to replace the
Auditors, then the Special Limited Partner shall appoint replacement Auditors
of its own choosing, the cost of which shall be borne by the Partnership as a
Partnership expense. All of the Partners hereby grant to the Special Limited
Partner a special power of attorney, irrevocable to the extent permitted by
law, coupled with an interest, to so appoint replacement Auditors and to
anything else which in the judgment of the Special Limited Partner may be
necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this Section 12.3(c).
(d) On or prior to the date which is thirty (30) days after the
Admission Date, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership (i) in writing,
to engage the Auditors to perform the services required herein and (ii) to
deliver to the Investment Limited Partner copies of all such engagement letters
and agreements.
12.4 Cost Recovery and Elections
(a) With respect to all depreciable assets for which cost recovery
deductions are permitted, the Partnership shall elect to use, so far as
permitted by the provisions of the Code, accelerated cost recovery methods.
However, the Partnership may change to another method of cost recovery if such
other method is, in the opinion of the Auditors, more advantageous to the
Investment Limited Partner (and the limited partners and/or holders of
beneficial assignee certificates thereof).
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.5, all other elections
required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under the Code shall be
made by the General Partner in such manner as will, in the opinion of the
Auditors, be most advantageous to the Investment Limited Partner and the
limited partners and/or holders of beneficial assignee certificates thereof.
12.5 Special Basis Adjustments
In the event of a transfer of all or any part of the Interest of the
Investment Limited Partner or a transfer of all or any part of an interest of a
partner and/or a holder of a beneficial assignee certificate of the Investment
Limited Partner, the Partnership shall elect, upon the request of the
Investment Limited Partner, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to adjust the
basis of the Partnership property. Any adjustments made pursuant to said
Section 754 shall affect only the successor in interest to the transferring
Partner or partner or holder of a beneficial assignee certificate thereof.
Each Partner will furnish the Partnership all information necessary to give
effect to any such election.
12.6 Fiscal Year
Unless otherwise required by law, the Fiscal Year and tax year of the
Partnership shall be the calendar year. The books of the Partnership shall be
maintained on an accrual basis.
12.7 Information to Partners
(a) The General Partner shall cause to be prepared and distributed to
all Persons who were Partners at any time during a Fiscal Year of the
Partnership:
(i) Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Fiscal Year
of the Partnership, (A) a balance sheet as of the end of such Fiscal
Year, a statement of income, a statement of partners' equity, and a
statement of cash flows, each for the Fiscal Year then ended, all of
which, except the statement of cash flows, shall be prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and accompanied
by a report of the Auditors containing an opinion of the Auditors, and
(B) a report of the activities of the Partnership during the period
covered by the report. With respect to any distribution to the
Investment Limited Partner, the report called for shall separately
identify distributions from (1) Cash Flow from operations during the
period, (2) Cash Flow from operations during a prior period which had

time periods set forth therein, the General Partner shall pay as damages the
sum of $500 per day (plus interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus three
percent (3%)) to the Investment Limited Partner until such obligations shall
have been fulfilled. Such damages shall be paid forthwith by the General
Partner, and the failure to pay any such damages shall constitute a material
default by the General Partner hereunder. In addition, if the General Partner
shall fail to pay any such damages, the General Partner and its Affiliates
shall forthwith cease to be entitled to the distribution of any Cash Flow or
Capital Proceeds to which they may otherwise be entitled hereunder. Such
distributions of Cash Flow and Capital Proceeds shall be restored only upon the

12.8 Expenses of the Partnership
(a) All expenses of the Partnership shall be billed directly to and
paid by the Partnership.
(b) Except in extraordinary circumstances, neither the Investment
General Partner nor any Affiliate thereof shall be permitted to contract or

lending of money to the Partnership or the General Partners, except for (i)
management services, subject to the restrictions set forth in Article XI, (ii)
loans made by, or guaranteed by, the Investment General Partner or any of its
Affiliates and (iii) those dealings, contracts or provision of services
described in the Investment Partnership Agreement. Extraordinary circumstances
shall only be presumed to exist where there is an emergency situation requiring
immediate action and the services required are not immediately available from
unaffiliated parties. All services rendered under such circumstances must be
rendered pursuant to a written contract which must contain a clause allowing
termination without penalty on sixty (60) days' notice. Goods and services
provided under such circumstances must be provided at the lesser of actual cost
or the price charged for such goods or services by independent parties.
(c) In the event that extraordinary circumstances arise, the Investment
General Partner and its Affiliates may provide construction services in
connection with the Apartment Complex. Neither the Investment General Partner
nor any of its Affiliates shall provide such services unless it believes it has
an adequate staff to do so and unless such provision of goods and construction
services is part of its ordinary and ongoing business in which it has
previously engaged, independent of the activities of the Investment Limited
Partner. Any such services must be reasonable for and necessary to the
Partnership, actually furnished to the Partnership, and provided at the lower
of one hundred percent (100%) of the construction contract rate with respect to
the Apartment Complex or ninety percent (90%) of the competitive price charged
for such services by independent parties for comparable goods and services in
the same geographic location (except that in the case of transfer agent,
custodial and similar banking-type fees, and insurance fees, the compensation,
price or fee shall be at the lesser of costs or the compensation, price or fee
of any other Person rendering comparable services as aforesaid). Cost of
services as used herein means the pro rata cost of personnel, including an
allocation of overhead directly attributable to such personnel, based on the
amount of time such personnel spend on such services or other method of
allocation acceptable to the accountants for the Investment Limited Partner.
(d) All services provided by the Investment General Partner or any
Affiliate thereof pursuant to Section 12.8(c) must be rendered pursuant to the
Investment Partnership Agreement or a written contract which precisely
describes the services to be rendered and all compensation to be paid and shall
contain a clause allowing termination without penalty upon sixty (60) days'
notice to the Investment General Partner by a vote of a majority in interest of
the limited partners and assignees of beneficial interests in the Investment
Limited Partner.
(e) No compensation or fees may be paid by the Partnership to the
Investment General Partner or its Affiliates except as described in the
Investment Partnership Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII
General Provisions
13.1 Restrictions by Reason of Section 708 of the Code
No Disposition of an Interest may be made if the Interest sought to be
Disposed of, when added to the total of all other Interests Disposed of within
the period of twelve consecutive months prior to the proposed date of the
Disposition, would, in the opinion of the Tax Accountants or tax counsel to the
Partnership, result in the termination of the Partnership under Section 708 of
the Code. This Section 13.1 shall have no application to any required
repurchase of the Investment Limited Partner's Interest. Any Disposition in
contravention of any of the provisions of this Section 13.1 shall be void ab
initio and ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by the Partnership.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.1, however, the
Investment Limited Partner may waive the provisions of this Section 13.1 at any
time as to a Disposition or series of Dispositions, and in the event of such a
waiver, this Section 13.1 shall have no force or effect upon such Disposition
or series of Dispositions.
13.2 Amendments to Certificates
Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the Partnership
Fiscal Year in which the Investment Limited Partner shall have received any
distributions under Article X, the General Partner shall file an amendment to
the Certificate reducing the amount of its allocable share of such distribution
the amount of Capital Contribution of the Investment Limited Partner as stated
in the last previous amendment to the Certificate. However, Schedule A shall
not be amended on account of any such distribution.
The Partnership shall amend the Certificate at least once each calendar
quarter to effect the substitution of Substitute Limited Partners, although the
General Partner may elect to do so more frequently. In the case of
assignments, where the assignee does not become a Substitute Limited Partner,
the Partnership shall recognize the assignment not later than the last day of
the calendar month following receipt of notice of assignment and all
documentation required in connection therewith hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.2, no such
amendments to the Certificate need be filed by the General Partner if the
Certificate is not required to and does not identify the Limited Partners or
their Capital Contributions in such capacity.
13.3 Notices
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all notices, demands or
other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been given when the same are (i) deposited in the United States mail and sent
by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, (ii) delivered to a
nationally recognized overnight delivery service, (iii) sent by telecopier or
other facsimile transmission, answerback requested, or (iv) delivered
personally, in each case, to the parties at the addresses set forth below or at
such other addresses as such parties may designate by notice to the
Partnership:

Article of this Agreement, unless specified otherwise. References to Treasury
Regulations (permanent or temporary) or Revenue Procedures shall include any

inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns of the respective parties hereto.
13.6 Applicable Law
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the

notwithstanding that all the parties have not signed the original or the same
counterpart.

approval is required); (iv) no amendment to any provision of the Project
Documents shall become effective without the prior written consent of any
Lender and/or Agency (to the extent that its approval is required); and (v) the
affairs of the Partnership shall be subject to the Regulations, and no action
shall be taken which would require the consent or approval of any Lender and/or
Agency unless the prior consent or approval of such Lender and/or Agency, as
the case may be, shall have been obtained. No new Partner shall be admitted to
the Partnership, and no Partner shall withdraw from the Partnership or be
substituted for without the consent of any Lender and/or Agency (if such
consent is then required). No amendment to this Agreement relating to matters
governed by the Regulations or requirements shall become effective until any
Requisite Approvals to such amendment shall have been obtained.
(b) Any conveyance or transfer of title to all or any portion of the
Apartment Complex required or permitted under this Agreement shall in all
respects be subject to all conditions, approvals and other requirements of any
Regulations applicable thereto.
13.9 Separability of Provisions
Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable and (a) if
for any reason any provision is determined to be invalid, such invalidity shall
not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which
are valid, and (b) if for any reason any provision would cause the Investment
Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner (in its capacity as a Limited
Partner) to be bound by the obligations of the Partnership (other than the
Regulations and the other requirements of any Agency or Lender), such
provision or provisions shall be deemed void and of no effect.

under the Code or an amendment to the Code is adopted which would require, in
the opinion of the Auditors, that the Investment Limited Partner be deemed
admitted on a date other than as of the Commencement Date, then the General
Partner shall select a permitted admission date which is most favorable to the
Investment Limited Partner.
