this Agreement in any way tends to contradict, modify, or in any

administration of the National Housing Act, as amended, or the
regulation or instructions thereunder, this Agreement shall be
deemed amended so as to comply with the requirements of HUD.
This paragraph will automatically become void at such time as the
Mortgage Loan is no longer insured or held by HUD. Compliance
with the Regulatory Agreement shall not affect a Limited
Partner's limited liability and shall not require contributions
inconsistent with the provisions in Article V herein. Any other
provisions of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no
distribution (as defined in the Regulatory Agreement) shall be
made except in conformance with the requirements of the
Regulatory Agreement.

cash by the Investment Partnership, solely from Capital

receipt by the Investment Partnership of a
certification by the General Partner, in form and
substance acceptable to BCTC 94, of the construction

Partnership for the fiscal year in which Breakeven

conditions to the payment of the First and Second
Installments (the "Third Installment").
As a condition precedent to each payment set forth above,
the General Partner shall, not less than ten (10) days nor more
than twenty (20) days prior to the time the applicable
Installment is due, give BCTC 94 and the Investment Partnership
Notice in the form of a written certification that: [A] the
representations, warranties and covenants given by the General
Partner in Section 4.01(a) are valid and accurate, where still
applicable, with respect to the General Partner, the Partnership
and/or the Apartment Complex, as of the date of such certificate,
and [B] to the best of its knowledge, after due inquiry, no
condition exists which would, pursuant to Section 5.03, entitle
the Investment Partnership to withhold the payment of such
Installment. Based upon the giving of such Notice, such
Installment shall be made on the due date therefor, or if such
Notice is not timely given, then within twenty (20) days after
receipt of such Notice.
At such time as the conditions for the making of the First
Installment are satisfied, such amount (estimated to be
$1,390,435) as shall be necessary to achieve Initial Closing,
shall be paid by the Investment Partnership to, or pursuant to
the direction of the Partnership. The balance of the First
Installment (in the amount of approximately $1,820,353) shall be
disbursed to the Partnership on the basis of draw requests as and
to the extent approved by or on behalf of BCTC 94. The draw
requests shall include, or be subject to, as applicable: (i)

to BCTC 94. The parties hereto acknowledge and understand that
the foregoing draw process is part of a process for the
preparation, review and approval of all draws with respect to the
rehabilitation of the Apartment Complex, and with respect to the
advance of all funds for such rehabilitation (including both the
Capital Contributions of the Investment Partnership and of the
General Partner, and the proceeds of the FHLB Grant), and that
all such draws are to be subject to review and approval by the
Lender (if required) and by BCTC 94.
(d) (i) Upon the occurrence of Cost Certification and
State Designation, if ninety-nine per cent (99%) of the aggregate
amount of Tax Credits: (A) for which the Partnership would be
eligible with respect to the Apartment Complex based upon the
Cost Certification, and/or (B) allocated by the Agency with
respect to the Apartment Complex, is less than the amount of the
Projected Credits attributable to Low-Income Housing Tax Credits
(the "Allocation Differential"), then the Capital Contribution of
the Investment Partnership shall be reduced by the "Adjustment
Amount." The Adjustment Amount shall be equal to the Allocation
Differential multiplied by seventy-five and ninety-five
one-hundredths per cent (75.95%) and any such reduction in
Capital Contribution shall be applied to reduce the Second
Installment. In the event that there is a reduction in Capital
Contributions equal to the Adjustment Amount, then the amount of
the Projected Credits shall be reduced to reflect the Allocation
Differential, and thereafter shall be referred to as the "Revised
Projected Credits."
(ii) If at any time the Accountants determine that, for
any fiscal year or portion thereof during the Partnership's
operation, ending on the date five (5) years from and after the
date of Substantial Completion (the "Reduction Period"), the
Actual Credit for such fiscal year or portion thereof is less
than the Projected Credit, or the Revised Projected Credit, if
applicable, applicable to such fiscal year or portion thereof,
then the Capital Contribution of the Investment Partnership shall
be reduced by the Reduction Amount. The "Reduction Amount" shall
be equal to the sum of (A) the product of the difference between
the Projected Credit, or the Revised Projected Credit, if
applicable, and the Actual Credit multiplied by seventy-five and
ninety-five one-hundredths per cent (75.95%) and (B) the amount
of any recapture, interest or penalty payable by the limited
partners of the Investment Partnership (assuming pass-through of
all such liability in the year incurred and a tax rate equal to
the maximum individual rate applicable in such year) as a result
of the Credit Shortfall for such year. Any reduction in Capital
Contribution shall first be applied to reduce the Installment
next due to be paid by the Investment Partnership, and any
portion of such reduction in excess of such Installment shall be
applied to reduce succeeding Installments. If no further
Installments are due to be paid, then the entire amount of such
reduction shall be repaid by the Partnership to the Investment
Partnership promptly after demand is made therefor. The General
Partner is obligated to provide such funds to the Partnership as
shall be necessary to cause the aforesaid payment to be made by
the Partnership to the Investment Partnership.
(iii) In the event that, for any reason, at any
time after the Reduction 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 during the
Partnership's operation (such difference being hereinafter
referred to as a "Credit Shortfall"), the Investment Partnership
shall be treated as having made a constructive advance to the
Partnership with respect to such year (a "Credit Recovery Loan"),
which shall be deemed to have been made on January 1 of such
year, in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Credit Shortfall
for such year, plus (B) the amount of any recapture, interest or
penalty payable by the limited partners of the Investment
Partnership (assuming pass-through of all such liability in the
year incurred and a federal tax rate equal to the maximum
individual rate applicable in such year) as a result of the
Credit Shortfall for such year. Credit Recovery Loans shall be
deemed to bear simple (not compounded) interest, from the
respective dates on which such principal advances are deemed to
have been made under this Section 5.01(d)(iv) at 9% per annum.
Credit Recovery Loans shall be repayable by the Partnership as
provided in Section 11.04(c).
(e) Without the Consent of all of the Partners, no
additional Persons may be admitted as additional Limited Partners
and Capital Contributions may be accepted only as and to the
extent expressly provided for in this Article V.
5.02. Return of Capital Contribution. Except as
provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall be entitled to
demand or receive the return of his Capital Contribution.
5.03. Withholding of Capital Contribution Upon Default.
In the event that: (a) the General Partner or any successor
General Partner shall not have substantially complied with any
material provisions under this Agreement, or (b) any financing
commitment of the Lender, the Second Lender or any other lender,
or any agreement entered into by the Partnership for financing
related to the Apartment Complex shall have terminated prior to
their respective termination date(s), or (c) foreclosure
proceedings shall have been commenced against the Apartment
Complex or any portion thereof, then the Partnership and the
General Partner shall be in default of this Agreement, and
BCTC 94, at its sole election, may cause the withholding of
payment of any Installment otherwise payable to the Partnership.

ARTICLE VI
CHANGES IN PARTNERS
6.01. Withdrawal of a General Partner.
A General Partner may withdraw from the Partnership or
sell, transfer or assign his or its Interest as General Partner
only with the prior Consent of BCTC 94, of HUD, and of the
Lender, if required, and only after being given written approval
by the necessary parties as provided in Section 6.02, of the
General Partner(s) to be substituted for him or it or to receive
all or part of his or its Interest as General Partner.
In the event that a General Partner withdraws from the
Partnership or sells, transfers or assigns his or its entire
Interest pursuant to Section 6.01(a), he or it shall be and shall
remain liable for all obligations and liabilities incurred by him
or it as General Partner before such withdrawal, sale, transfer
or assignment shall have become effective, but shall be free of
any obligation or liability incurred on account of the activities
of the Partnership from and after the time such withdrawal, sale,
transfer or assignment shall have become effective.
6.02. Admission of a Successor or Additional General
Partner. A Person shall be admitted as a General Partner of the
Partnership only if the following terms and conditions are satis-
fied:
the admission of such Person shall have been Consented
to by the General Partner or its successors and by BCTC 94,
and consented to by HUD and, if required, by the Lender;
the successor or additional Person shall have accepted
and agreed to be bound by (i) all the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, by executing a counterpart thereof, and
(ii) all the terms and provisions of the Regulatory
Agreement and other applicable Lender documents, by
executing a counterpart(s) thereof, if and to the extent
required by the Lender, and (iii) all the terms and
provisions of such other documents or instruments as may be
required or appropriate in order to effect the admission of
such Person as a General Partner, and the amendment to this
Agreement evidencing the admission of such Person as a
General Partner shall have been filed and all other actions
required by Section 1.05 in connection with such admission
shall have been performed;
if the successor or additional Person is a corporation,
it shall have provided the Partnership with evidence
satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of its authority
to become a General Partner, to do business in the State and
to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
and
counsel for the Partnership shall have rendered an
opinion that the admission of the successor or additional
Person is in conformity with the Act and that none of the
actions taken in connection with the admission of the
successor Person will cause the termination or dissolution
of the Partnership or will cause it to be classified other
than as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
6.03. Effect of Bankruptcy, Death, Withdrawal,
Dissolution
or Incompetence of a General Partner.
In the event of the Bankruptcy of a General Partner or
the withdrawal, death or dissolution of a General Partner or an
adjudication that a General Partner is incompetent (which term
shall include, but not be limited to, insanity) the business of
the Partnership shall be continued by the other General
Partner(s) if any, (and the other General Partner, if any, by
execution of this Agreement, expressly so agrees to continue the
business of the Partnership); provided, however, that if the
withdrawn, Bankrupt, deceased, dissolved or incompetent General
Partner is then the sole General Partner, unless the Investment
Partnership, within ninety (90) days after receiving Notice of
such Bankruptcy, withdrawal, death, dissolution or adjudication
of incompetence, elects to designate a successor General Part-
ner(s) and continue the Partnership upon the admission of such
successor General Partner(s) to the Partnership, the Partnership
shall be terminated.
Upon the Bankruptcy, death, dissolution or adjudication
of incompetence of a General Partner, such General Partner shall
immediately cease to be a General Partner and his Interest shall
without further action be converted to a Limited Partner
Interest; provided, however, that if such Bankrupt, dissolved,
incompetent or deceased General Partner is the sole remaining
General Partner, such General Partner shall cease, to the extent
permitted by the Act, to be a General Partner only upon the
expiration of ninety (90) days after Notice to the Investment
Partnership of the Bankruptcy, death, dissolution or declaration
of incompetence of such General Partner; and provided further
that if such Bankrupt, dissolved, incompetent or deceased General
Partner is the sole remaining General Partner, the converted
Partnership Interest of such replaced General Partner shall be
ratably reduced to the extent necessary to insure that the
substitute General Partner(s) holds a 1% Percentage Interest (as
set forth in Section 5.01) and will receive a 5% distribution
pursuant to Section 11.04(f).
Except as set forth above, such conversion of a General
Partner Interest to a Limited Partner Interest shall not affect
any rights, obligations or liabilities (including without
limitation, any of the General Partner's obligations under
Section 8.09 herein) of the Bankrupt, deceased, dissolved or
incompetent General Partner existing prior to the Bankruptcy,
death, dissolution or incompetence of such person as a General
Partner (whether or not such rights, obligations or liabilities
were known or had matured).
(c) If, at the time of the withdrawal, Bankruptcy,
death, dissolution or adjudication of incompetence of a General
Partner, the Bankrupt, deceased, dissolved or incompetent General
Partner was not the sole General Partner of the Partnership, the
remaining General Partner or General Partners shall immediately
(i) give Notice to the Limited Partners of such Bankruptcy,
death, dissolution or adjudication of incompetence, (ii) make
such amendments to this Agreement and execute and file such
amendments or documents or other instruments as are necessary to
reflect the conversion of the Interest of the Bankrupt, deceased,
dissolved or incompetent General Partner and his or its having
ceased to be a General Partner, and (iii) elect to continue the
business of the Partnership. The remaining General Partner or
General Partners are hereby granted an irrevocable power of
attorney to execute any or all documents on behalf of the
Partners and the Partnership and to file such documents as may be
required to effectuate the provisions of this Section 6.03.

General Partner shall be in default of this Agreement, and the
Partnership shall withhold payment of any installment of fees
payable to the Developer, pursuant to Section 8.10, and to the
General Partner, pursuant to Section 8.11, and (ii) the General
Partner shall be liable for the Partnership's payment of any and
all installments of the Development Fee payable pursuant to
Section 8.10, to the extent that the Investment Partnership has
withheld any Installment(s) pursuant to Section 5.03 as a result
of the above-described default.
All amounts so withheld by the Partnership under this Sec-
tion 8.12 shall be promptly released only after the General
Partner has cured the default justifying the withholding, as
demonstrated by evidence reasonably acceptable to BCTC 94.
8.13. Removal of the General Partner.
(a) BCTC 94, acting on behalf of the Investment
Partnership, so long as the Investment Partnership is a Partner,
shall have the right to remove the General Partner (i) for any
intentional misconduct or failure to exercise reasonable care
with respect to any material matter in the discharge of its
duties and obligations as General Partner (provided that such
misconduct or failure results in, or is likely to result in, a
material detriment to or an impairment of the Apartment Complex
or assets of the Partnership), or (ii) upon the occurrence of any
of the following (except to the extent that any such violation or
action described in (A) or (C) below is a result of events beyond
the General Partner's reasonable control):
(A) the General Partner shall have materially
violated any provisions of the FHLB Grant Agreement and/or
the Regulatory Agreement and/or the Declaration of
Covenants, or any provisions of any other Project Document
or other document required in connection with the Mortgage
Loan, the Second Loan, or the FHLB Grant, or any provisions
of HUD, Lender and/or Agency regulations applicable to the
Apartment Complex;
(B) the General Partner shall have materially
violated any provision of this Agreement, or materially
violated any provision of applicable law, which violation,
in either case, results in a material adverse effect on the
Partnership and/or its operations;
(C) the General Partner shall have caused the
Mortgage Loan or the Second Loan to go into default and such
default remains uncured beyond the time provided for cure
thereof by the terms of the applicable Project Documents; or
(D) the General Partner shall have conducted its
own affairs or the affairs of the Partnership in such manner
as would:
(1) cause the termination of the Partnership
for federal income tax purposes; or
(2) cause the Partnership to be treated for
federal income tax purposes as an association,
taxable as a corporation.
(b) BCTC 94 shall give Notice to all Partners and to
the Lender and the Second Lender of its determination that the
General Partner shall be removed and of the reasons for such
determination. The General Partner shall have thirty (30) days
after receipt of such Notice to cure any default or other reason
for such removal, in which event it shall remain as General
Partner. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, the
General Partner has not cured any default or other reason for
such removal, it shall cease to be General Partner and the powers
and authorities conferred on it as General Partner under this
Agreement shall cease and the Interest of such General Partner
shall be transferred to BCTC 94 which, without further action,
shall become a General Partner.
(c) (i) In the event that the General Partner is
removed as aforesaid prior to the Final Closing, it shall be and
shall remain liable for all obligations and liabilities incurred
by it as General Partner of the Partnership before such removal
shall become effective, including but not limited to the
obligations and liabilities of the General Partner with respect
to its obligations set forth in Section 8.09 of this Agreement
with regard to Excess Development Costs; provided however, that
if amounts otherwise payable as fees are applied to meet the
General Partner's obligations stated in Sections 5.03 and 8.09 of
this Agreement, such application shall serve to reduce any such
liabilities of the General Partner or any successor, except for
any liability incurred as the result of its negligence,
misconduct, fraud or breach of its fiduciary duties as General
Partner of the Partnership.
If the General Partner is removed as a Partner of the
Partnership prior to the Final Closing as aforesaid, neither the
Developer nor the General Partner shall be entitled to payment of
any further installments of the Development Fee or other fees
which otherwise would have been due and payable under various
Sections of this Article VIII.
(ii) In the event that the General Partner is removed
as aforesaid after the Final Closing, it shall be and shall
remain liable for all obligations and liabilities incurred by it
as General Partner of the Partnership before such removal shall
become effective, including but not limited to the General
Partner's obligations and liabilities under Section 8.09(b) of
this Agreement; provided, however, that if amounts otherwise
payable to the General Partner or the Developer as fees are
applied by the Partnership to pay Operating Deficits, such
application shall serve to reduce any such liabilities after the
Final Closing, except for any liability incurred as the result of
its negligence, misconduct, fraud or breach of its fiduciary duty
as the General Partner of the Partnership. If the General
Partner is removed as a Partner of the Partnership at any time
after the Final Closing, the Developer shall continue to be paid
subsequent to such removal, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, any installments of the Development
Fee which would otherwise have been due and payable to it
pursuant to Section 8.10, and which are not otherwise being
withheld; provided, however, upon any such removal of the General
Partner after the Final Closing, no further installments of the
Incentive Partnership Management Fee shall be paid which are
attributable to any period after such removal.
(d) BCTC 94 hereby is granted an irrevocable power of
attorney, coupled with an interest, to execute any and all
documents on behalf of the Partners and the Partnership as shall
be legally necessary and sufficient to effect all of the
foregoing provisions of this Section 8.13. The election by BCTC
94 to remove the General Partner under this Section shall not
limit or restrict the availability and use of any other remedy
which the Investment Partnership, BCTC 94 or any other Partner
might have with respect to the General Partner in connection with
its undertakings and responsibilities under this Agreement.
8.14. Selection of Management Agent. The Partnership,
with the approval of HUD, and of the Lender, if required, shall
engage such person, firm or company as the General Partner may
select, and as BCTC 94 may approve, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld (hereinafter referred to as "Management
Agent") to manage the operation of the Apartment Complex. The
Management Agent shall be paid a management fee subject to the
approval of HUD, and of the Lender, if required. Such management
fee shall not exceed four per cent (4%) of the Gross Receipts
derived from the operation of the Apartment Complex. The
contract between the Partnership and the Management Agent and the
management plan for the Apartment Complex shall be in a form
acceptable to HUD, and to the Lender, if required. Madison Park
Village Associates (a joint venture of Madison Park Properties,
Inc. and Xxxxxxx Properties, Inc.), hereby is approved by the
parties hereto as the Management Agent. In addition, the
Management Agent shall be entitled to receive a data processing
fee in the amount of three dollars ($3.00) per unit per month,
which will be treated as an operating expense of the Partnership,
and the Management Agent, in its capacity as construction manager
will be entitled to receive a five percent (5%) construction
management fee.
8.15. Removal of the Management Agent. The General
Partner (a) may, upon receiving any required approval of HUD
and/or the Lender, dismiss the Management Agent as the entity
responsible for the Apartment Complex under the terms of the
contract between the Partnership and the Management Agent, and
(b) at the request of BCTC 94, shall remove the Management Agent
in the event that the Management Agent is declared Bankrupt, is
dissolved, or makes an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or for any intentional misconduct by the Management
Agent or failure to exercise reasonable care in the discharge of
its duties and obligations as Management Agent, including,
without limitation, for any action or failure to take any action
which:
(i) violates in any material respect any provi-
sion of the Management Agreement entered into with the
Partnership and approved by the Lender, and/or any
provision of the Project Documents applicable to the
Apartment Complex, or the Lender-approved management
plan for the Apartment Complex, or
(ii) violates in any material respect any provi-
sion of this Agreement or provision of applicable law.
8.16. Replacement of the Management Agent. Upon the
removal of the Management Agent as the entity responsible for the
management of the Apartment Complex, a substitute Management
Agent, which shall not be an Affiliate of the General Partner,
shall be named by the General Partner, subject to the approval of
HUD, and of the Lender, if required, and the approval of BCTC 94.
8.17. Loans to the Partnership. In the event that addi-
tional funds are required by the Partnership for any purpose
relating to the business of the Partnership or for any of its
obligations, expenses, costs or expenditures, the Partnership may
borrow such funds as are needed from any Partner or other Person
or organization, including the General Partner, for such period
of time and on such terms as the General Partner, BCTC 94 and of
HUD and the Lender, if so required, may agree and at the rate of
interest then prevailing for comparable loans (except for
Operating Deficit Loans made pursuant to Section 8.09(b), which
shall bear no interest); provided however, that no such
additional loans shall be secured by any mortgage or other
encumbrance on the property of the Partnership without the prior
approval of BCTC 94 and the approval of HUD and of the Lender, if
required; except that such approvals shall not be required in the
case of the hypothecation of personal property purchased by the
Partnership and not included in the security agreements executed
by the Partnership at the time of Initial Closing. Loans made
under this Section shall be repaid as set forth in Section
11.01(a) of this Agreement, but any amount of any such loan that
is outstanding at the time of the occurrence of any of the events
described in Sections 11.04 or 12.01 shall be repaid as provided
in Section 11.04.
8.18. Reserve Funds and Operating Assurances.
Reserve Fund for Replacements. The Partnership shall
satisfy HUD's requirements as to the Reserve Fund for
Replacements as to the Apartment Complex by making monthly
deposits into the Reserve Fund for Replacements in an amount
equal to $3,867 per month, or such other amount as the Lender
shall require pursuant to the Project Documents, commencing
January 1, 1996. In addition, the General Partner hereby
acknowledges and agrees that it shall deposit additional funds
into the Reserve Fund for Replacements, on an annual basis, in
amounts equal to any and all amounts which it receives as
distributions of Net Cash Flow pursuant to Section 11.01(a) of
this Agreement with respect to all fiscal years of the
Partnership through the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.
Funds in the Reserve Fund for Replacements are intended to be
employed for the replacement as needed of fixtures, equipment,
structural elements and other components of the Apartment Complex
of a capital nature. All interest earnings on funds on deposit
in the Reserve Fund for Replacements shall be retained therein
for the aforesaid purposes. Withdrawals from the Reserve Fund
for Replacements shall be made only with the Consent, or upon the
direction, of the Lender.
Operating Reserve Account. At or prior to Substantial
Completion, the Developer shall satisfy the requirements of the
Lender and the Investment Partnership by establishing an
Operating Reserve Account, in the amount of $350,000 as a
separate interest-bearing account in a financial institution
designated by the General Partner, subject to the reasonable
approval of the Lender and of BCTC 94. Such Operating Reserve
Account shall be established from the proceeds of the Second and
Third Installments and shall be funded by two deposits, of which
$267,566 shall be deposited upon the receipt of the Second
Installment, and $82,434 shall be deposited upon the receipt of
the Third Installment. Funds on deposit in the Operating Reserve
Account shall be employed solely for the payment of Operating
Deficits (which are defined as existing when the total of all
operating and other income is insufficient to pay all Apartment
Complex operating expenses, debt service payments with respect to
the Mortgage Loan, and all other expenditures provided for in the
then-applicable operating budget approved pursuant to Section
8.20 of this Agreement, specifically including the Asset
Management Fee, and specifically excluding the Incentive
Partnership Management Fee). All interest earnings on funds on
deposit in the Operating Reserve Account shall be used to
subsidize rents at Madison Park Village, and to support the
charitable activities of LRCC and its affiliated non-profit
entities. Withdrawals from the Operating Reserve Account (other
than transfers of interest earnings as aforesaid) shall be made
only with the Consent, or upon the direction, of BCTC 94 and the
Lender.
8.19. Option to Purchase; Right of First Refusal
(a) Option to Purchase Interests of the Investment
Partnership and BCTC 94. LRCC shall have the option, exercisable
at any time after the date which is fifteen (15) years from and
after the date of Substantial Completion, to acquire the
Interests of the Investment Partnership and BCTC 94 in the
Partnership for an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the
aggregate of all income tax liability of the partners of
(including the investors in) the Investment Partnership arising
from such purchase of the Interest of the Investment Partnership
in the Partnership, as determined by the Investment Partnership
or its accountants, or (ii) the Invested Amount (the "Purchase
Price"). In no event will the Purchase Price be less than the
fair market value of the Apartment Complex, taking into account
any restriction on use in the Declaration of Covenants, the
Regulatory Agreement, the Chapter 121A Regulatory Agreement and
the FHLB Grant Agreement. In the event the aforesaid option is
exercised, the closing of the purchase of the Interests of the
Investment Partnership and BCTC 94 shall occur within sixty (60)
days after the date upon which the Purchase Price is determined
as set forth above; at such closing the Investment Partnership
and BCTC 94 each shall withdraw from the Partnership and
thereafter shall have no further rights, duties, obligations or
liabilities hereunder or with respect to the Partnership. The
rights of LRCC pursuant to this Section 8.19 may not be sold,
assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by LRCC without the
prior written Consent of the Investment Partnership.
(b) Right of First Refusal. The Partners acknowledge
and agree that, subsequent to the execution of this Agreement,
the Partnership shall enter into an agreement with LRCC (the
"Right of First Refusal Agreement"), pursuant to which the
Partnership will grant to LRCC a right of first refusal to
acquire the Apartment Complex from the Partnership subsequent to
the expiration of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit compliance
period. Such Right of First Refusal Agreement shall be prepared
by or on behalf of the General Partner, and shall: (i) comply
with the provisions of Section 42(i)(7) of the Code, and (ii) be
subject to the reasonable approval of BCTC 94.
8.20. Operating and Capital Budgets. Not less than
seventy-five (75) days prior to the commencement of each fiscal
year, the General Partner shall transmit to the Lender and to
BCTC 94, proposed operating and capital budgets for the Apartment
Complex and the Partnership for the next fiscal year. Such
budgets shall specifically list all budgeted expenses in all
major categories including, but not limited to, administration,
operation, repairs and maintenance, utilities, taxes, insurance,
interest, Mortgage Loan debt service, capital improvements, and
all budgeted expenses which are to be paid to the General Partner
or its Affiliates. Any such proposed operating budget also shall
include the Asset Management Fee and all other Partnership
obligations or expenditures which: (a) are reasonable and
necessary for the proper operation of the Partnership, (b) are
currently and unconditionally due and payable, and (c) are not
payable from Net Cash Flow; thus, no provision for payment(s)
with respect to the Incentive Partnership Management Fee or debt
service on the Second Loan is to be included in any such proposed
operating budget. Any such proposed operating budget shall be
subject to review and approval by the Lender, prior to its
effectiveness, if: (i) the Partnership is requesting the
Lender's approval of an increase in the rents of units within the
Apartment Complex; or (ii) an Operating Deficit existed with
respect to the previous fiscal year of the Partnership.
ARTICLE IX
TRANSFERS OF, AND RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS
OF INTERESTS OF LIMITED PARTNERS
9.01. Purchase for Investment.
The Investment Partnership hereby represents and
warrants to the General Partner and to the Partnership that the
acquisition of its Interest is made as principal for its account
for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or
distribution of such Interest, except insofar as the Securities
Act of 1933 and any applicable securities law of any state or
other jurisdiction permit such acquisitions to be made for the
account of others or with a view to the resale or distribution of
such Interest without requiring that such Interest, or the
acquisition, resale or distribution thereof, be registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 or any applicable securities law of
any state or other jurisdiction.
The Investment Partnership agrees that it will not
sell, assign or otherwise transfer its Interest or any fraction
thereof to any Person who does not similarly represent and
warrant and similarly agree not to sell, assign or transfer such
Interest or fraction thereof to any Person who does not similarly
represent and warrant and agree.
The Investment Partnership shall not sell, assign or
otherwise transfer its Interest or any fraction thereof to any
Person until the Investment Partnership has provided the
Partnership with a legal opinion, reasonably satisfactory to the
General Partner, that such sale, assignment or other transfer
does not violate any state or federal securities laws or require
the Interest to be registered under any such laws.
9.02. Restrictions on Transfer of Limited Partners'
Interests.
Under no circumstances will any offer, sale, transfer,
assignment, hypothecation or pledge of any Limited Partner
Interest be permitted unless the General Partner, in its sole
discretion, shall have Consented.
The Limited Partner whose interest is being transferred
shall pay such reasonable expenses as may be incurred by the
Partnership in connection with such transfer.
9.03. Admission of Substitute Limited Partners.
Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, an
assignee of the Interest of a Limited Partner (which shall be
understood to include any purchaser, transferee, donee, or other
recipient of any disposition of such Interest) shall be deemed
admitted as a Substitute Limited Partner of the Partnership only
upon the satisfactory completion of the following:
(i) Consent of the General Partner (which may be
withheld in its sole discretion) and the consent of the
Lender, if required, shall have been given, which Consent of
the General Partner may be evidenced by the execution by the
General Partner of an amended Certificate evidencing the
admission of such Person as a Limited Partner pursuant to
the requirements of the Act;
(ii) the assignee shall have accepted and agreed
to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by
executing a counterpart thereof or an appropriate amendment
hereto, and such other documents or instruments as the
General Partner may require in order to effect the admission
of such Person as a Limited Partner;
(iii) an amended Agreement and/or Certificate
evidencing the admission of such Person as a Limited Partner
shall have been filed for recording pursuant to the
requirements of the Act;
(iv) the assignee shall have represented and
agreed in writing as required by Section 9.01;
(v) if the assignee is a corporation, the
assignee shall have provided the General Partner with
evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of its
authority to become a Limited Partner under the terms and
provisions of this Agreement; and
(vi) the assignee or the assignor shall have xxxx-
bursed the Partnership for all reasonable expenses,
including all reasonable legal fees and recording charges,
incurred by the Partnership in connection with such
assignment, to the extent Partnership assets are not
available for such purpose.
(b) For the purpose of allocation of profits, losses
and credits, and for the purpose of distributing cash of the
Partnership, a Substitute Limited Partner shall be treated as
having become, and as appearing in, the records of the
Partnership as a Partner upon his signing of an amendment to this
Agreement, agreeing to be bound hereby.
(c) The General Partner shall cooperate with the
Person approved to become a Substitute Limited Partner by
preparing the documentation required by this Section and making
all official filings and publications. The Partnership shall
take all such action, including the filing of any amended
Agreement and/or Certificate evidencing the admission of any
Person as a Limited Partner, and the making of any other official
filings and publications, as promptly as practicable after the
satisfaction by the assignee of the Interest of a Limited Partner
of the conditions contained in this Article IX to the admission
of such Person as a Limited Partner of the Partnership.
9.04. Rights of Assignee of Partnership Interest.
Except as provided in this Article and as required by
operation of law, the Partnership shall not be obligated for any
purpose whatsoever to recognize the assignment by any Limited
Partner of his (its) Interest until the Partnership has received
actual Notice thereof.
Any Person who is the assignee of all or any portion of
a Limited Partner's Interest, but does not become a Substitute
Limited Partner and desires to make a further assignment of such
Interest, shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article
IX to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited
Partner desiring to make an assignment of his (its) Interest.
ARTICLE X
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
OF LIMITED PARTNERS
10.01. Management of the Partnership. No Limited Partner
shall take part in the management or control of the business of
the Partnership nor transact any business in the name of the
Partnership. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, no Limited Partner shall have the power or authority
to bind the Partnership or to sign any agreement or document in
the name of the Partnership. No Limited Partner shall have any
power or authority with respect to the Partnership except insofar
as the Consent of any Limited Partner shall be expressly required
and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
10.02. Limitation on Liability of Limited Partners.
Except as otherwise provided in the Act, the liability of each
Limited Partner shall be limited to its Capital Contribution as
and when payable under the provisions of this Agreement. No
Limited Partner shall have any other liability to contribute
money to, or in respect of the liabilities or obligations of, the
Partnership, nor shall any Limited Partner be personally liable
for any obligations of the Partnership. No Limited Partner shall
be obligated to make loans to the Partnership.
10.03. Other Activities. Any Limited Partner may engage
in or possess interests in other business ventures of every kind
and description for their own accounts, including without
limitation, serving as general or limited partner of other
partnerships which own, either directly or through interests in
other partnerships, government-assisted housing projects similar
to the Apartment Complex. Neither the Partnership nor any of the
Partners shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement in or
to such other business ventures to the income or profits derived
therefrom.
ARTICLE XI
PROFITS, LOSSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS
11.01. Allocation of Profits, Losses, Credits and Cash
Distributions.
All profits, losses and credits, except those gains and
losses referred to in Sections 11.03 and 11.10, shall be
allocated one percent (1%) to the General Partner and ninety-nine
percent (99%) to the Investment Partnership; provided, however,
that all losses, if any, in excess of the losses projected in the
Partnership Projections prepared on behalf of the Investment
Partnership and agreed to by the Partners as of the Initial
Closing, shall be allocated to the General Partner. Subject to
Lender approval, if required, Net Cash Flow shall be applied
and/or distributed in the following priority: (i) payment to the
Second Lender of all sums currently due and payable with respect
to the Second Loan; (ii) repayment of any amounts due with
respect to any Subordinated Loans; (iii) payment of the Incentive
Partnership Management Fee for the current year pursuant to
Section 8.11; and (iv) of any remaining sum, sixty per cent (60%)
thereof to the General Partner, and forty per cent (40%) thereof
to the Investment Partnership; provided, however, that during
such time as HUD regulations are applicable to the Apartment
Complex, the total amount of Net Cash Flow which may be so
distributed to the Partners with respect to any fiscal year shall
not exceed such amounts as HUD regulations permit to be
distributed.
In any year in which a Partner sells, assigns or
transfers all or any portion of an Interest to any Person who
during such year is admitted as a substitute Partner, the share
of all profits and losses allocated to, and of all Net Cash Flow
and of all cash proceeds distributable under Section 11.04
distributed to, all Partners which is attributable to the
Interest sold, assigned or transferred shall be divided between
the assignor and the assignee using any one of the following
methods as determined by agreement between the assignor and
assignee: (i) ratably on the basis of the number of days in such
year before, and the number of days on and after, the execution
by the assignee of this Agreement, or (ii) by dividing the
Partnership fiscal year into two segments, the first segment
being the time period in such year before the execution by the
assignee of this Agreement and the second segment being the time
period in such year beginning on the date of execution of this
Agreement, and allocating profits and losses, Net Cash Flow, and
all cash proceeds distributable in each such segment among the
persons who were Partners during that segment, or (iii) such
other method as provided by the Code or regulations thereunder.
The Partnership shall, subject to the limitations set
forth in the Chapter 121A Regulatory Agreement, any applicable
limitation on the distribution of Surplus Cash and any required
approval by HUD and/or the Lender, distribute Surplus Cash not
less frequently than annually in the manner provided in Section
11.01(a).
In the event there is a determination that there is any
original issue discount or imputed interest attributable to the
Capital Contribution of any Partner, or any loan between a
Partner and the Partnership, any income or deduction of the
Partnership attributable to such imputed interest or original
issue discount on such Capital Contribution or loan (whether
stated or unstated) shall be allocated solely to such Partner.
In the event that the deduction of all or a portion of
any fee paid or incurred by the Partnership to a Partner or an
Affiliate of a Partner is disallowed for federal income tax
purposes by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to a
taxable year of the Partnership, the Partnership shall then
allocate to such Partner an amount of gross income of the
Partnership for such year equal to the amount of such fee as to
which the deduction is disallowed.
If any Partner's Interest in the Partnership is reduced
but not eliminated because of the admission of new Partners or
otherwise, or if any Partner is treated as receiving any items of
property described in Section 751(a) of the Code, the Partner's
Interest in such items of Section 751(a) property that was
property of the Partnership while such Person was a Partner shall
not be reduced, but shall be retained by the Partner so long as
the Partner has an Interest in the Partnership and so long as the
Partnership has an Interest in such property.
11.02. Determination of Profits, Losses and Credits.
Profits, losses and credits for all purposes of this Agreement
shall be determined in accordance with the accrual accounting
method, except that any adjustments made pursuant to Section 754
of the Code, other than the adjustments made with respect to the
admission of the Investment Partnership to the Partnership, shall
not be taken into account. Every item of income, gain, loss,
deduction, credit or tax preference entering into the computation
of such profits or losses, or applicable to the period during
which such profits and losses were realized, shall be considered
allocated to each Partner in the same proportion as profits and
losses are allocated to such Partner.
11.03. Allocation of Gains and Losses. Gains and losses
recognized by the Partnership upon the sale, exchange or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the property owned by
the Partnership shall be allocated in the following manner:
gains shall be allocated (i) first, to the Partners
with negative Capital Account balances, that portion of gains
(including any gains treated as ordinary income for federal
income tax purposes) which is equal in amount to and in
proportion to, such Partners' respective negative Capital
Accounts in the Partnership; provided, that no gain shall be
allocated to a Partner under this clause (i) once such Partner's
Capital Account is brought to zero; and (ii) second, gain in
excess of the amount allocated under (i) shall be allocated to
the Partners in the amount and to the extent necessary to
increase the Partners' respective Capital Accounts so that the
proceeds distributed under Sections 11.04(d), (e) and (f) will be
distributed in accordance with the Partners' respective Capital
Accounts.
Losses shall be allocated (i) first, to the extent and
in such proportions as the respective positive balances in all
Partners' Capital Accounts; and (ii) second, any remaining loss
to the Partners in accordance with the manner in which they bear
the economic risk of loss associated with such loss or, if none,
as follows: 1.00% thereof to the General Partner, and 99.00%
thereof to the Investment Partnership.
Any portion of the gains treated as ordinary income for
federal income tax purposes under Sections 1245 and 1250 of the
Code ("Recapture Amount") shall be allocated on a dollar for
dollar basis to those Partners to whom the items of Partnership
deduction or loss giving rise to the Recapture Amount had been
previously allocated.
11.04. Distribution of Proceeds from Sale and Liquidation
of Partnership Property. Except as may be required under Section
12.02(b), the proceeds resulting from the liquidation of the
Partnership assets pursuant to Section 12.02, and the net
proceeds resulting from any sale of the property of the Partner-
ship or refinancing of the Apartment Complex or a Capital
Transaction, as the case may be, shall be distributed and applied
in the following order of priority:
to the payment of all matured debts and liabilities of
the Partnership (including amounts due pursuant to the
Mortgage Loan and the Second Loan, and all expenses of the
Partnership incident to any such sale or refinancing),
excluding (1) debts and liabilities of the Partnership to
Partners or any Affiliates, and (2) all unpaid fees owing to
the General Partner and/or its Affiliate(s) under this
Agreement;
to the setting up of any reserves which the Liquidator
(or the General Partner if the distribution is not pursuant
to the liquidation of the Partnership) deems reasonably
necessary for contingent, unmatured or unforeseen
liabilities or obligations of the Partnership;
to the payment of any debts and liabilities (including
unpaid fees) owed to the Partners or any Affiliates by the
Partnership for Partnership obligations, including the
repayment of any loans made pursuant to Sections
5.01(d)(iii), 8.09(b) or 8.17; provided, however, that the
foregoing debts and liabilities owed to Partners and their
Affiliates shall be paid or repaid, as applicable, in the
following order of priority, if and to the extent
applicable: (i) the Asset Management Fee currently due, if
any, together with any accrued and unpaid Asset Management
Fees, (ii) Credit Recovery Loans to the Investment
Partnership, (iii) Operating Deficit Loans to the General
Partner, and (iv) any other such debts and liabilities;
to the Investment Partnership in an amount equal to the
Invested Amount, reduced (but not below zero) by all cash
distributions previously distributed to the Investment
Partnership pursuant to this Section 11.04;
to the General Partner in the total amount of its
Capital Contributions paid to or on behalf of the
Partnership, reduced by all cash distributions previously
distributed to them pursuant to this Section 11.04; and
the balance of such remaining sum, fifty per cent (50%)
thereof to the General Partner, and fifty per cent (50%)
thereof to the Investment Partnership.
11.05. Capital Accounts. A separate Capital Account
shall be maintained and adjusted for each Partner. There shall
be credited to each Partner's Capital Account the amount of his
Capital Contribution, the fair market value of any property
contributed to the Partnership (net of any liabilities secured by
such property) and such Partner's distributive share of the
profits for tax purposes of the Partnership; and there shall be
charged against each Partner's Capital Account the amount of all
Cash Flow distributed to such Partner, the fair market value of
any property distributed to such Partner (net of any liabilities
secured by such property), the net proceeds resulting from the
liquidation of the Partnership's assets or from any sale or
refinancing of the Apartment Complex distributed to such Partner,
and such Partner's distributive share of the losses for tax pur-
poses of the Partnership. Each Partner's Capital Account shall
be maintained and adjusted in accordance with the Code and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder. The foregoing provisions and
the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the main-
tenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treas.
Reg. Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in
a man-
ner consistent with such regulations. It is the intention of the
Partners that the Capital Accounts maintained under this
Agreement be determined and maintained throughout the full term
of this Agreement in accordance with the accounting rules of
Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), as amended from time to
time.
11.06. Authority of General Partner to Vary Allocations
to Preserve and Protect Partners' Intent.
It is the intent of the Partners that each Partner's
distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit
(or item thereof) shall be determined and allocated in accordance
with this Article XI and Section 5.01 to the fullest extent
permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code. In order to preserve
and protect the determinations and allocations provided for in
this Article XI and Section 5.01, the General Partner hereby is
authorized and directed to allocate income, gain, loss,
deduction, or credit (or item thereof) arising in any year
differently than otherwise provided for in this Article XI and
Section 5.01 to the extent that allocating income, gain, loss,
deduction or credit (or item thereof) in the manner provided for
in Article XI and Section 5.01 would cause the determinations and
allocations of each Partner's distributive share of income, gain,
loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) not to be permitted
by Section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder. Any allocation made pursuant to this
Section 11.06 shall be deemed to be a complete substitute for any
allocation otherwise provided for in this Article XI and Section
5.01 and no amendment of this Agreement or approval of any
Partner shall be required.
In making any allocation (the "new allocation") under
Section 11.06(a), the General Partner is authorized to act only
after: (i) having been advised by the Accountants that, under
Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder, (A) the new allocation is necessary, and (B) the new
allocation is the minimum modification of the allocations
otherwise provided for in this Article XI and Section 5.01
necessary in order to assure that, either in the then current
year or in any preceding year, each Partner's distributive share
of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) is
determined and allocated in accordance with this Article XI and
Section 5.01 to the fullest extent permitted by Section 704(b) of
the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; and (ii) having
received the approval of BCTC 94 to such proposed new allocation.
If the General Partner is required by Section 11.06(a)
to make any new allocation in a manner less favorable to the
Limited Partners than is otherwise provided for in this Article
XI and Section 5.01, then the General Partner is authorized and
directed, only after having been advised by the Accountants that
it is permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code, to allocate
income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof)
arising in later years in such manner so as to bring the
allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item
thereof) to the Limited Partners as nearly as possible to the
allocations thereof otherwise contemplated by this Article XI and
Section 5.01.
New allocations made by the General Partner under
Section 11.06(a) and Section 11.06(c) in reliance upon the advice
of the 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.
11.07. Designation of Tax Matters Partner. New
Madison IV, Inc. 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 regulations pursuant to Section 6231 of the Code. If
the General Partner designated as the Tax Matters Partner of the
Partnership withdraws from the Partnership, the Partnership shall
designate a successor Tax Matters Partner, in accordance with
Treasury Regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1(T), or any
successor Regulation. The Partnership shall notify the Internal
Revenue Service of the designation of a successor Tax Matters
Partner for such year, as well as for all prior years that the
withdrawn General Partner was serving as Tax Matters Partner.
Each Partner, by its 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.
11.08. Authority of Tax Matters Partner. The Tax Matters
Partner hereby is authorized, but not required:
to enter into any settlement with the Internal Revenue
Service or the Secretary of the Treasury (the "Secretary") 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 regulations thereunder) files
a statement with the Secretary providing that the Tax Matters
Partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement
agreement on behalf of such Partner;
in the event that a notice of a 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;
to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner
for judicial review of a final adjustment;
to file a request for an administrative adjustment with
the Internal Revenue Service at any time and, if any part of such
request is not allowed by the Internal Revenue Service, to file a
petition for judicial review with respect to such request;
to enter into an agreement with the Internal Revenue
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 affected by such item; and
to take any other action on behalf of the Partners or
the Partnership in connection with any administrative or judicial
tax proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or
regulations.
11.09. Expenses of Tax Matters Partner. 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 funds
for such purpose. 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 General Partner and
indemnification set forth in Section 8.07 of this Agreement shall
be fully applicable to the Tax Matters Partner in its capacity as
such.
11.10. Minimum Gain Provisions.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
no allocation of loss or deduction (or item thereof) attributable
to any nonrecourse debt of the Partnership shall be made by the
Partnership to a Partner if such allocation would cause the sum
of the deficit capital account balances of such Partner otherwise
receiving such allocation (excluding the portion of such deficit
balances that must be restored to the Partnership upon
liquidation, if any) to exceed such Partner's share of
Partnership "Minimum Gain" (as defined in Treas. Reg.
Section 1.704-2(b)(2) and determined at the end of the
Partnership
taxable year to which the allocation relates).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during a
Partnership taxable year, all Partners with deficit Capital
Account balances at the end of such year (reduced by the portion
of such deficit balances (i) that must be restored upon
liquidation, if any, and (ii) that would be eliminated under
applicable Regulations if the Partnership were liquidated at such
time, and increased by the items described in Treas. Reg.
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)) shall be allocated
items
of income and gain for such year in the amount and in the
proportions needed to eliminate such deficits, before any other
allocation is made under this Agreement.
In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any
adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treas.
Reg. Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), 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 Regulations under Code Section 704(b)) to the
deficit balance in each such Partner's Capital Account as quickly
as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section
11.10(c) shall be made if and only to the extent that such
Partner would have a deficit Capital Account after all other
allocations provided for in this Article XI have been tentatively
made as if this Section 11.10(c) were not in the Agreement.
In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account
at the end of any fiscal year in excess of the sum of (i) the
amount that such Partner must restore to the Partnership upon
liquidation, if any, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed
obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of
Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and Section 1.704-2(i)(5), such
Partner shall
be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in
the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that
an allocation pursuant to this Section 11.10(d) shall be made if
and only to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit
Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations
provided for in this Article XI has been tentatively made as if
this Section 11.10(d) and Section 11.10(c) hereof were not in the
Agreement.
In the event that income, loss or items thereof are
allocated to one or more Partners pursuant to Sections 11.10(b),
(c) or (d), subsequent income, loss or items thereof shall be
allocated (subject to the provisions of Sections 11.10(b), (c) or
(d)) to the Partners so that, to the extent possible in the
judgment of the General Partner, the net amount of allocations
shall be equal to the amount that would have been allocated had
Section 11.10 not been applied.
Nonrecourse deductions as defined in Treas. Reg.
Section 1.704-2(b) shall be allocated one per cent (1%) to the
General
Partner, and ninety-nine per cent (99%) in the aggregate to the
Investment Partnership, in the proportions set forth in Section
11.01(a).
ARTICLE XII
SALE, DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION
12.01. Dissolution of the Partnership. The Partnership
shall be dissolved upon the earlier of the expiration of the term
of the Partnership, or upon:
the withdrawal, Bankruptcy, death, dissolution or
adjudication of incompetency of a General Partner who is at
that time the sole General Partner without the election of
the remaining Partners, pursuant to Section 6.03, to
continue the Partnership;
the sale or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Partnership;
the election by the General Partner, with the Consent
of BCTC 94; or
any other event causing the dissolution of the
Partnership under the laws of the State.
12.0. Winding Up and Distribution.
Upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to
Section 12.01, (i) a Certificate of Cancellation shall be filed
in such offices within the State as may be required or
appropriate, and (ii) the Partnership business shall be wound up
and its assets liquidated as provided in this Section 12.02 and
the net proceeds of such liquidation, except as provided in
Section 12.02(b) below, shall be distributed in accordance with
Section 11.04.
It is the intent of the Partners that, upon liquidation
of the Partnership, any liquidation proceeds available for
distribution to the Partners be distributed in accordance with
the Partners' respective positive Capital Account balances and
the Partners believe that distributions under Section 11.04 will
effectuate such intent. In the event that, upon liquidation,
there is any conflict between a distribution pursuant to the
Partners' respective Capital Account balances and the intent of
the Partners with respect to distribution of proceeds as provided
in Section 11.04, the Liquidator shall, notwithstanding the
provisions of Sections 11.01, 11.02 and 11.03, allocate the
Partnership's gains, profits and losses in a manner that will
cause the distribution of liquidation proceeds to the Partners to
be in accordance with the Partners' respective positive Capital
Account balances.
The Liquidator shall file all certificates and notices
of the dissolution of the Partnership required by law. The
Liquidator shall proceed without any unnecessary delay to sell
and otherwise liquidate the Partnership's property and assets;
provided, however, that if the Liquidator shall determine that an
immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership property would
cause undue loss to the Partners, then in order to avoid such
loss, the Liquidator may, except to the extent provided by the
Act, defer the liquidation as may be necessary to satisfy the
debts and liabilities of the Partnership to Persons other than
the Partners. Upon the complete liquidation and distribution of
the Partnership assets, the Partners shall cease to be Partners
of the Partnership, and the Liquidator shall execute, acknowledge
and cause to be filed all certificates and notices required by
the law to terminate the Partnership.
Upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to
Section 12.01, the Accountants shall promptly prepare, and the
Liquidator shall furnish to each Partner, a statement setting
forth the assets and liabilities of the Partnership upon its
dissolution. Promptly following the complete liquidation and
distribution of the Partnership property and assets, the
Accountants shall prepare, and the Liquidator shall furnish to
each Partner, a statement showing the manner in which the
Partnership assets were liquidated and distributed.
ARTICLE XIII
BOOKS AND RECORDS, ACCOUNTING
TAX ELECTIONS, ETC.
13.01. Books and Records. The books and records of the
Partnership shall be maintained on an accrual basis in accordance

all other records of the Partnership, including information
relating to the status of the Apartment Complex and information
with respect to the sale by the General Partner or any Affiliate
of goods or services to the Partnership, shall be kept at the
principal office of the Partnership and shall be available for
examination there by any Partner, or his duly authorized repre-
sentative, at any and all reasonable times. Any Partner, or his
duly authorized representative, upon paying the costs of collec-
tion, duplication and mailing, shall be entitled to a copy of the
list of names and addresses of the Limited Partners.
13.02. Bank Accounts. All funds of the Partnership not
otherwise invested shall be deposited in one or more accounts
maintained in such banking institutions as the General Partner
shall determine, and withdrawals shall be made only in the
regular course of Partnership business on such signature or sig-
natures as the General Partner may, from time to time, determine.
No funds of the Partnership shall be deposited in any financial
institution in which any Partner is an officer, director or
holder of any proprietary interest.
13.03. Accountants. The Accountants shall annually
prepare for execution by the General Partner all tax returns of
the Partnership, shall annually audit the books of the
Partnership, and shall certify, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a balance sheet, a profit and
loss statement, and a cash flow statement. With respect to each
fiscal year during the Partnership's operations, at such time as
the Accountants shall have prepared the proposed tax return for
such year, the Accountants shall provide copies of such proposed
tax return to the Investment Partnership and to its accountants,
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, of Bethesda, Maryland, for their
review and comment. Any changes in such proposed tax return
recommended by the Investment Partnership's accountants shall be
made by the Accountants prior to the completion of such tax
return for execution by the General Partner. The Partnership
shall reimburse Boston Capital Communications Limited Partner-
ship, an affiliate of the Investment Partnership, for its
expenses incurred in causing the Partnership's proposed tax
return to be reviewed by the Investment Partnership's accountants
if and to the extent that such review results in modifications to
such proposed tax return. A full detailed statement shall be
furnished to all Partners, showing such assets, properties, and
net worth and the profits and losses of the Partnership for the
preceding fiscal year. All Partners shall have the right and
power to examine and copy, at any and all reasonable times, the
books, records and accounts of the Partnership.

the General Partner, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof,
resulting from the operation of any present or future provision
of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 or other applicable statute,
nor shall such obligation or remedy for enforcement be impaired,
modified, changed, released or limited in any manner by such
event of bankruptcy.
The Guarantor's obligations as specified in this Partnership
Agreement constitute a continuing guarantee, such that any claim
made by the Partnership or the Investment Partnership against the

Partnership or the Investment Partnership from making a claim
against the Guarantor for future payments.
