Partnership or to which such property is subject plus (iii) the amount
of profits or income (including tax-exempt income) allocated to such
Partner less (iv) the amount of losses and deductions allocated to

The original Capital Account established for any Substituted
Partner (as hereinafter defined) shall be in the same amount as, and

Partner's Interest prior to the transfer which the transferee
receives, and the Capital Account of the transferor Partner who
retains a portion of his former Interest and his Capital Contribution
shall continue, and not be replaced, in proportion to the portion of

4.5 Special Rights of the Investment Limited Partner and the
Special
Limited Partner
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, to the extent

subject to the prior written consent any Agency (if such consent is
required) to:
(i) amend this Agreement in any particular;
(ii) dissolve the Partnership;
(iii) remove the General Partners or any General Partner
and elect a new General Partner (A) on the basis of the
performance and discharge of such General Partners' obligations
constituting fraud, bad faith, negligence, misconduct or breach
of fiduciary duty, or (B) upon the occurrence of any of the
following: (1) such General Partners shall have materially
violated any provisions of any Project Document or other
document required in connection with any Mortgage, or any
provisions of any Agency regulations applicable to the Apartment
Complex; (2) such General Partners shall have violated any
material provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited
to, any obligation to fund any Partnership expense under Section
6.10, or such General Partners shall have violated any material
provision of applicable law; (3) any Mortgage shall have gone
into default; or (4) such General Partners shall have conducted
its own affairs or the affairs of the Partnership in such a
manner as would (a) cause the termination of the Partnership for
Federal income tax purposes; or (b) cause the Partnership to be
treated for Federal income tax purposes as an association
taxable as a corporation; provided, however, prior to any
removal under subsection (B) of this Section 4.5 (a)(iii), the
Partner seeking to effectuate such removal shall give notice to
the General Partners and the General Partners shall have a
period of thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, to cure
the event or condition giving rise to the removal to the
satisfaction of the Partner seeking the removal in its sole and
absolute discretion.
(iv) continue the business of the Partnership with a
substitute General Partner; and
(v) approve or disapprove the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Partnership.
(b) Upon the removal of the General Partners, (i) without any
further action by any Partner, the Special Limited Partner or its
designee shall automatically become a General Partner and acquire in
consideration of a cash payment of $100 such portion of the Interest
of the removed General Partners as counsel to the Investment Limited
Partner shall determine is the minimum appropriate interest in order
to assure the continued status of the Partnership as a partnership
under the Uniform Act, (ii) the remaining portion of the Interest of
the removed General Partners shall automatically be converted to an
equal Interest as an Additional Limited Partner, (iii) the Interest of
the Special Limited Partner as the Special Limited Partner shall
continue unaffected by the new status of the Special Limited Partner
or its designee as a General Partner, and (iv) the new General Partner
(which shall also continue to be the Special Limited Partner) shall
automatically be delegated all of the powers and duties of the General
Partners pursuant to Section 6.13. The Special Limited Partner or any
successor General Partner proposed by the Special Limited Partner
shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to acquire
the Additional Limited Partner Interest, or any portion thereof, of
any removed General Partner upon payment of the agreed or then present
fair market value of such Interest or portion thereof. Any dispute as
to the value of the Interest or portion thereof to be acquired
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be submitted to a
committee composed of three qualified real estate appraisers, one
chosen by the removed General Partners, one chosen by the successor
General Partner, and the third chosen by the two so chosen. The
proceedings of such committee shall conform to the rules of the
American Arbitration Association, as far as appropriate, and its
decision shall be final and binding. The expense of arbitration shall
be born equally by the removed General Partners and the Partnership.
The method of payment to the removed General Partners 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 an interest-bearing promissory note coming due in not less than
five (5) years with equal installments each year. In addition, upon
removal, the Partnership must promptly pay to the removed General
Partners all amounts then accrued and owing to the removed General
Partners; provided, however, that notwithstanding the language of
Section 6.9, Article X, Article XI and any other provision hereof,
neither the removed General Partner nor any of his Affiliates shall be
entitled to receive any fee, compensation or other remuneration from
the Partnership, other than (i) the above-described payment for the
Interest, or portion thereof, of the removed General Partners, and
(ii) any such fee, compensation or other remuneration which had
already been earned in full prior 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 agreement. The Partnership may offset
against any payments to the General Partners removed under this
Section 4.5 for any damages suffered by the Partnership as a result of
any breach of the obligations of the General Partners hereunder. The
General Partners so removed shall not be liable as General Partners
for any obligations of the Partnership incurred after the effective
date of its removal. The General Partners hereby grant 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 the General
Partners 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 Section 4.5(a)(v), the General
Partners are 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.
If, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of any such copy of such an
offer, the Special Limited Partner shall send notice to the General
Partners that the Special Limited Partner desires that the Partnership
accept such offer, then the General Partners shall be required to
accept such offer on behalf of the Partnership and proceed promptly to
close such transaction unless otherwise instructed by the Special
Limited Partner at any point prior to the closing of such transaction.
To the extent, if any, that the Special Limited Partner shall
determine, in its discretion, that the General Partners are not
proceeding in a manner satisfactory to it with respect to any such
offer or closing, each Partner hereby grants to the Special Limited
Partner an irrevocable (to the extent permitted by law) power of
attorney coupled with an interest to execute and deliver any and all
documents and instruments on behalf of the Partnership and any Partner
as the Special Limited Partner may deem to be necessary or appropriate
in order to effect the acceptance of and/or closing pursuant to any
such offer in such a manner as the Special Limited Partner shall, in
its discretion, determine to be satisfactory.

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.

mail stating the purpose (s) of the meeting, the General Partners

Limited Partner shall pay on Admission Date the sum of $182,070 in
cash as its Capital Contribution.
(b) In addition, the obligation of the Investment Limited
Partner to pay the Capital Contribution is conditioned upon delivery
by the General Partners to the Investment Limited Partner of both (i)
a legal opinion of independent counsel to the Partnership, which
opinion must be satisfactory to the Investment Limited Partner as to
form, content and identity of counsel, and (ii) a photocopy of an
owner's title insurance policy, or an endorsement thereto, issued to
the Partnership with respect to the Apartment Complex, in an insured
amount not less than $1,060,985 from a title insurance company
reasonably satisfactory to the Investment Limited Partner and
evidencing the Partnership's ownership of the Apartment Complex
subject only to such exclusions, exceptions, conditions and
stipulations as shall be acceptable to the Investment Limited Partner,
in its sole discretion.
(c) If, with respect to any fiscal year commencing during the
60-month period commencing on the later of (i) the Admission Date or
(ii) the date on which the first building in the Apartment Complex is
placed in service for the purposes of Section 42 of the Code (a
"Reduction Year") the Actual Credit is or was less than the Projected
Credit, then the General Partners 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 for such year over
the Actual Credit for such year multiplied by 0.800 plus (B) the
amount of any recapture, interest or penalty payable by the limited
partners of the Investment Limited Partner as a result of such
shortfall, assuming that each limited partner in the Investment
Limited Partner used all of the Tax Credits allocated to him in the
year of allocation. 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 year but such amount
shall be subject to later adjustment by the Auditors or by the Service
in connection with an audit. The Investment Limited Partner shall be
eligible to be paid a Reduction Amount as hereinabove described with
respect to each Reduction Year and may receive multiple payments of
Reduction Amounts in the event of multiple changes in the Actual
Credit. Any Reduction Amount shall be paid in its entirety by the
General Partners directly 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.
(d) In the event that, for any reason, with respect to any
fiscal year commencing after the sixty (60)-month anniversary of the
later of (i) the Admission Date or (ii) the date on which the first
building in the Apartment Complex is placed in service for the
purposes of Section 42 of the Code, the amount of the Actual Credit
shall be less than the Projected Credit (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 (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 (i) the Credit Shortfall for such year plus (ii) 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 year, assuming that each limited partner in the Investment
Limited Partner used all of the Tax Credits allocated to it in the
year of allocation. Credit Recovery Loans shall be deemed to bear
simple (not compounded) interest from the respective dates on which
such constructive advances shall have been deemed to have been made
under this Section 5.1(d) at 9% per annum. Credit Recovery Loans
shall be payable by the Partnership as provided in Section 10.2 (b)
Clause Third.
(e) If, as of the Completion Date and based upon the Cost
Certification, it is determined that the Apartment Complex will not be
eligible to receive Tax Credits in an annual amount of at least
$31,171; or it is at any time determined by the Auditors, the Tax
Accountants or the Service that, for any reason, the Apartment Complex
will not be eligible to receive Tax Credit in an annual amount of at
least $31,171, then (a) the General Partners shall pay to the
Investment Limited Partner an amount equal to the product of (A)
difference between (i) $31,171 and (ii) the total amount of Tax Credit
allocated to the Partnership and (B) 8.0 and (b) the Projected Credit
for each year shall thereafter be redefined to mean 99% of the annual
amount of Tax Credit actually so allocated to the Partnership (the
"Revised Projected Credit"). Any amount payable by the General
Partners to the Investment Limited Partner pursuant to this Section
5.1(e) shall be paid in its entirety by the General Partners directly
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.
5.2 Return of Capital Contributions

Partner requires 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

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 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 Partners
shall indemnify and hold harmless such Partner from any losses,
damages, and liabilities to which such Partner (as a result of its
participation hereunder) may be subject.
(d) Waiver of Repurchase Right. The Investment 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 Partners 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
from that date forward.
(e) Additional General Partner. If the General Partners
shall fail to make on the due date therefor any payment required under
Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b), then an additional General Partner
shall be admitted as follows. 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, whereupon the interest
of the General Partners shall be automatically transferred from the
General Partners to the additional General Partner, in consideration
of $10, a one percent (1%) interest in the all profits, losses, tax
credits and distributions of the Partnership, such transfer
notwithstanding, the Special Limited Partner shall also retain its
status as such and its interest in the Partnership as the Special
Limited Partner shall not be affected. Upon any such admission of the
Special Limited Partner or its designee as an additional General
Partner, the General Partners hereby agree that all of their rights
and powers hereunder as General Partners 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 the General Partners of any of their
economic obligations hereunder, and the General Partners shall fully
indemnify and hold harmless the additional General Partner against any
and all losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in
settlement of any claims sustained in connection with its capacity as
a General Partner.

Partnership in consideration of the payment of $10. An additional
General Partner so admitted shall automatically become the General

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 Partners of any of their obligations

Neither the General Partners nor any of their Affiliates 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 and Article XI or as to which the prior written 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
competing 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; Tax Matters Partner
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the General
Partners shall have the exclusive right to control the business of the
Partnership. The Investment Limited Partner shall have no 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 a condition for the effectiveness
of an action taken by the General Partners is intended, and no such
provision shall be construed, to give the Investment Limited Partner
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 Partners of the powers
conferred on them by law and this Agreement, and the General Partners
agree 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 the General Partners or by any other Person as an
impediment to the ability of either the Investment Limited Partner or
the Special Limited Partner to take any action hereunder. All
Partners hereby agree that the General Partners shall serve as the
"Tax Matters Partner." In the case of litigation, the Tax Matters
Partner is required to file suit in the United States Tax Court unless
the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner is obtained to file suit
in the United States Claims Court or the United States District Court.
Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from
engaging the Auditors to assist the Tax Matters Partner in discharging
their duties hereunder.
6.5 Duties and Obligations of the General Partners
(a) The General Partners shall manage the affairs of the
Partnership to the best of their ability, shall use their best efforts
to carry out the purposes of the Partnership, and shall devote to the
Partnership such time as may be necessary for the proper performance
of their duties and the business of the Partnership. The General
Partners shall promptly take all action which may be necessary or
appropriate for the proper development, maintenance and operation of
the Apartment Complex in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, the Project Documents and applicable laws and regulations.
The General Partners shall be responsible for the management and
operation of the Partnership, including the oversight of the rent-up
and operational stages of the Apartment Complex.
(b) The General Partners shall use their best 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 Agency
and other regulations, (ii) the Minimum Set-Aside Test and (iii) the
Rent Restriction Test, and, if necessary, the General Partners shall
also use their best efforts to obtain approvals and implementation of
appropriate adjustments in the rental schedule of the Apartment
Complex.
(c) The General Partners 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 and other
risks generally included under "extended coverage" policies, worker's
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 and any Agency, or, if the Apartment
Complex is no longer subject to Lender or Agency regulation or
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 similar to the Apartment Complex, (B) in the case of the
"extended coverage" portion, no less than the full original
replacement value of the Apartment Complex, (C) no less than such
amounts as may be reasonably requested by the Investment Limited
Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner from time to time, and (D)
in any event sufficient to prevent the Partnership from becoming a co-
insurer under any such policies. No deductibles on such policies may
exceed $5,000. The public liability insurance in favor of the
Partnership shall be in an amount not less than $2,000,000. Through
the Completion Date, or such later date as may be required by the
Lender or Agency, the General Partners shall also 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 the Lender and/or
any Agency. Throughout the term of the Partnership, the General
Partners shall provide copies of all such policies (or binders) to the
Investment Limited Partner promptly after his receipt thereof or upon
request but no less frequently than annually. Upon the request of the
Investment Limited Partner to the General Partners, the General
Partners shall cause the applicable insurer to name the Investment
Limited Partner as an "additional insured" on each Partnership
insurance policy.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.5(b) and 7.1,
such obligations shall survive any Withdrawal of the General Partners
from the Partnership.
(e) The General Partners shall establish and maintain
reasonable reserves to provide for working capital needs,
improvements, replacements and any other contingencies of the
Partnership. At a minimum, the General Partners shall, commencing in
1997, cause the Partnership to annually deposit $4,400 from its Cash
Flow into replacement reserves. To the extent that Cash Flow (as
determined before deduction of this reserve deposit) for any year
shall be insufficient to make such deposit in full, the General
Partners shall fund such shortfall from their own funds as a
Subordinated Loan.
(f) The General Partners shall be bound by 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 the General Partners hereunder) and by the
Project Documents to the same extent and under the same terms as the
General Partners.
(g) The General Partners shall take all actions necessary to
ensure that the Investment Limited Partner receives the full amount of
the Projected Credit, including, without limitation, the rental of
apartments to Qualified Tenants and the filing of annual
certifications as may be required. In this regard, the General
Partners shall, inter alia, cause (i) the Partnership to satisfy all
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 Tax Credit
throughout the Compliance Period specified in the Code, (ii) the
Partnership to comply with all State Tax Credit monitoring procedures,
(iii) all Low-Income Apartment Units to be leased to Qualified
Tenants, (iv) the Partnership to make all appropriate Tax Credit

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 Partners
shall provide to the Investment Limited Partner either (i) an
appraisal of the Apartment Complex prepared by a competent independent
appraiser or (ii) a project cost and budget analysis on an Agency form

including any applicable Tax Credit allocation agency, setting forth
estimates with respect to mortgage financing costs and initial rental
income and operating expense figures for the Apartment Complex.
(i) The General Partners shall (i) not store (except in
compliance with all laws, ordinances, and regulations pertaining
thereto) or dispose of any Hazardous Material at the Apartment

operated either by the General Partners, any Affiliate of the General
Partners, or any Person for whose conduct the General Partners are or
were responsible; (ii) neither directly nor indirectly transport or
arrange for the transport of any Hazardous Material (except in

the General Partners or any Person for whose conduct the General
Partners are or were responsible or whose liability may result in a
lien on the Apartment Complex; (y) upon the General Partners' receipt
of any notice to such effect from any Federal, state, or other
governmental authority; and (z) upon the General Partners' obtaining

(a) Neither the General Partners nor any of their Affiliates
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 the General Partners or their Affiliates if the General

of conduct did not constitute negligence or misconduct of the General
Partners or their Affiliates.

indemnified by the Partnership against losses, judgments, liabilities,
expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained in
connection with the Partnership, provided that all of the following

faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss, judgment,

expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of Federal or

Securities and Exchange Commission, and any applicable state
securities administrator with respect to the issue of indemnification

actions or omissions of the General Partners or any of their
Affiliates, or (b) any liabilities to which either the Partnership or
the Apartment Complex is subject; provided, however, that the

necessary contractual obligations incurred pursuant to Agency or
Lender requirements in connection with the operation of the Apartment
Complex in the ordinary course of business.

not be liable to a Limited Partner or the Partnership for any act or

any Hazardous Material at the Apartment Complex. Any claim or loss
described in the immediately preceding sentence may be defended,
compromised, settled, or pursued by the Investment Limited Partner

General Partners and/or the termination of this Agreement.
6.10 Operating Deficits
Subject to the prior written consent of the Lender or Agency (if

to occur of (i) Permanent Mortgage Commencement or (ii) the Admission
Date (the "Operating Deficit Commencement Date") to advance funds to
meet operating expenses and debt service of the Partnership which
exceed operating income available for the payment thereof. In the
event that the General Partners shall fail to make any such advance as
aforesaid, the Partnership shall utilize amounts (the "Applied Fees")
otherwise payable to the General Partners or Affiliates thereof under
Section 6.12 and/or Article X to meet the obligations of the General
Partners pursuant to this Section 6.10. Such Applied Fees shall also
constitute payment and satisfaction of the corresponding amounts
payable to the General Partners or their Affiliates under Section 6.12
and/or Article X, with the proceeds thereof being applied to such
obligations, and the obligation of the Partnership to make such
installment payments to the General Partners or their Affiliates
pursuant to Section 6.12 and/or Article X being deemed satisfied to
the extent thereof. For the purpose of this Section 6.10, all
expenses shall be paid on a sixty (60)-day current basis. Moreover,
the General Partners may in their 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 this Section
6.10 (including any Applied Fees) shall be Subordinated Loans
repayable without interest in accordance with the provisions of
Article X. The form and provisions of all Subordinated Loans shall
conform to any applicable rules and regulations.
6.11 Obligation to Complete the Construction of the Apartment
Complex
The General Partners shall complete the construction of the
Apartment Complex substantially in accordance with the plans and
specifications approved by the Lender and/or any Agency and all
requirements necessary to obtain the required certificates of
occupancy for dwelling units, or cause the same to be completed, in a
good and workmanlike manner, free and clear of all mechanics',
materialmen's or similar liens, and shall equip the Apartment Complex
or cause the same to be equipped with all necessary and appropriate
fixtures, equipment and articles of personal property, including
refrigerators and ranges, and shall cause all necessary certificates
of occupancy for all apartment units in the Apartment Complex to be
obtained, all in accordance with the Project Documents. If the
proceeds of the Mortgages, the net rental income, if any, of the
Apartment Complex generated prior to the later of Permanent Mortgage
Commencement or the Admission Date and which is permitted by the
Lender and/or any Agency to be utilized for any of the purposes
hereinafter set forth, the Capital Contribution of the Investment
Limited Partner, the Capital Contribution of the General Partners in
the amount set forth on Schedule A as of the Admission Date, and any
insurance proceeds arising out of casualties prior to the Admission
Date as available from time to time are insufficient to (i) acquire
and complete the construction of the Apartment Complex and satisfy all
other obligations, all as provided in the first sentence of this
Section 6.11, (ii) pay the Construction and Development Fee (to the
extent payment is not deferred in accordance with this Agreement),
(iii) arrive at Permanent Mortgage Commencement in conformity with the
Project Documents, (iv) discharge all Partnership liabilities and
obligations arising out of any casualty giving rise to any such
insurance proceeds, and (v) provide for all other payments and
expenses required to be made or incurred through the later of
Permanent Mortgage Commencement or the Admission Date, including the
funding of any reserves required hereunder or under any other Project
Document, the repayment in full of all obligations under the
Construction Mortgage, the General Partners shall be responsible for
and obligated to pay such deficiencies and shall, to the extent
permitted under the Project Documents and any applicable regulations
or requirements of the Lender and/or any Agency, be reimbursed at or
prior to the Admission Date only out of the proceeds designated in
this sentence available from time to time after payment of all costs
described in this sentence. Any amounts not reimbursed through the
later of Permanent Mortgage Commencement or the Admission Date only
out of the proceeds of the Capital Contribution of the Investment
Limited Partner as provided in Section 5.1 shall not be reimbursable
or otherwise change the Interest of any Person in the Partnership but
shall be borne by the General Partners; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such amounts
represent items which are properly included in the Partnership's
Qualified Basis and result in an increase in the amount of Tax Credit
allocated and available to the Partnership over and above the amount
of Tax Credit required in order to achieve State Designation
("Includable Items"), the General Partners shall make an additional
Capital Contribution in the amount of the Includable Items and the
Partnership shall utilize the proceeds of such additional Capital
Contribution to pay the Includable Items. In the event that the
General Partners shall fail to fund any such deficiency as required by
this Section 6.11, an amount not in excess of the next installment of
the Construction and Development Fee due to the General Partners or
any of their Affiliates under Section 6.12 or any other provision
hereof shall be applied by the Partnership to meet such obligation of
the General Partners, and, to the extent there may still be a
deficiency, any amounts otherwise payable as the Annual Partnership
Management Fee or distributable to the General Partners pursuant to
Article X shall be so applied. Any such application of funds as
described in the immediately preceding sentence shall constitute a
payment of the amount of the Fee or such other item which such funds
had been earmarked to pay, and the obligation of the General Partners
to advance such amount under this Section 6.11 shall be satisfied to
the extent of such application.
6.12 Certain Payments to the General Partners and Others
(a) The Partnership shall pay to the General Partners a fee
(the "Annual Partnership Management Fee") commencing in 1997 for their
services in connection with the administration of the day-to-day
business of the Partnership in an annual amount equal to $1,819 per
annum. The Annual Partnership 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 commencing in 1997, Cash
Flow is insufficient to pay the full amount of the Annual Partnership
Management Fee, the unpaid portion thereof shall accrue and be payable
on a cumulative basis in the first year in which there is sufficient
Cash Flow or from the proceeds of a Capital Transaction as provided in
Article X.
(b) In consideration of their consultation, advice and other
services in connection with the construction and development of the
Apartment Complex and as consideration for the assignment described in
Section 6.14, the Partnership shall pay to the General Partners (or
their designee) a construction and development fee of $30,357 (the
"Construction and Development Fee"), which fee shall be earned in full
as to each building in the Apartment Complex as of the date such
building is completed and payable out of the Capital Contribution of
the Investment Limited Partner. A portion of the Construction and
Development Fee in the amount of $1,758 shall be deferred. The
deferred portion of the Construction and Development Fee which shall
not have been paid as of the date which is six months after it shall
have been earned shall accrue interest at the Applicable Federal Rate
in effect at the time earned from the date earned through the date of
payment; any such interest shall be payable in accordance with the
provisions of Article X.
(c) The Partnership shall pay to Boston Capital or an
Affiliate thereof a fee (the "Asset Management Fee") commencing in
1997 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 $1,819. 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
commencing with 1997, Cash Flow is insufficient to pay the full amount
of the Asset Management Fee, the unpaid portion thereof shall accrue
and be payable on a cumulative basis in the first year in which there
is sufficient Cash Flow or from the proceeds of a Capital Transaction
as provided in Article X.
6.13 Delegation of General Partner Authority
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. Every
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 (a) the Partnership was in existence, (b) 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
(c) the execution and delivery of such instrument was duly authorized
by the General Partner. 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
Partner 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 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 General Partners 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 Complex; (ii) all plans,
specifications and working drawings heretofore prepared or obtained in
connection with the Apartment Complex; (iii) all governmental
commitments and approvals obtained, and applications therefor,
including, but not limited to, those relating to planning, zoning,
building permits and Tax Credit; (iv) any and all commitments with
respect to any of the Mortgages; (v) any and all contracts or rights
with respect to any agreements with the Lender and/or Agency; and (vi)
any other work product related to the Apartment Complex and/or the
Partnership, all of which shall have an agreed to value of $100.00 for
purposes of determining the opening Capital Account of the General
Partners.
ARTICLE VII Withdrawal of General Partners; New General Partners
7.1 Withdrawal
(a) No General Partner shall Withdraw from the Partnership
(other than by reason of death or adjudication of incompetence or
insanity) or sell, assign or encumber his Interest without the Consent
of the Investment Limited Partner and all the other General Partners,
except that if the Special Limited Partner or a designee thereof
becomes a General Partner, 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 Uniform
Act. In the event of any Withdrawal by a General Partner in violation
of this Section 7.1, such General Partner, in addition to being
subject to any and all other legal remedies which may be pursued by
the Partners, shall forfeit to the Special Limited Partner or its
designee, such General Partner's Interest and all unpaid fees from the
Partnership and shall remain liable for all of the Withdrawing
Partner's obligations under this Agreement. In addition, upon such
Withdrawal and transfer, the Special Limited Partner or its designee
shall automatically become a General Partner without further action by
the Withdrawing General Partner or any other Partner, and each Partner
hereby consents to such transfer and to the admission of the Special
Limited Partner or its designee as a General Partner in such a
situation. Such transfer shall occur automatically upon such
Withdrawal without further action by such Withdrawing General Partner.
(b) If at any time the only General Partner shall be one or
more corporations (or partnerships with corporations as sole General
Partner), they shall be obligated to have a net worth which satisfies
the 89-12 Requirements. If the General Partner shall at any time fail
to meet the requirements of this Section 7.1(b) and no additional
General Partner is admitted pursuant to Section 7.4, then they shall
be deemed to have withdrawn from the Partnership in violation of the
provisions of this Section 7.1 and shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 7.1(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of
this Section 7.1(b) shall not apply to the Special Limited Partner or
its designee in the event it becomes the sole General Partner.
7.2 Obligation to Continue
Upon the Withdrawal of a General Partner, the remaining General
Partners shall have the right and obligation to continue the business
of the Partnership employing its assets and name, all as contemplated
by the Uniform Act. Within thirty (30) days after they obtain
knowledge of the Withdrawal of a General Partner, the remaining
General Partners shall notify the Investment Limited Partner or its
designee of such Withdrawal.
7.3 Withdrawal of All General Partners
If, following the withdrawal of a General Partner, there is no
remaining General Partner, the Investment Limited Partner and the
Special Limited Partner may elect to reconstitute the Partnership and
continue the business of the Partnership for the balance of the term
specified in Section 2.4 by selecting a successor General Partner. If
the Investment Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner elect
to reconstitute the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7.2 and admit
the designated successor General Partner, the relationship among the
then Partners shall be governed by this Agreement.
7.4 Interest of General Partner After Permitted Withdrawal
In the event of the Withdrawal of a General Partner not in
violation of Section 7.1 and except as otherwise provided in Section
4.5(b), the Withdrawing General Partner hereby covenants and agrees to
transfer to the remaining General Partner or to a successor General
Partner selected in accordance with Section 7.2, as the case may be,
such portion of the Withdrawing General Partner's Interest as such
remaining or successor General Partner may designate, such transfer to
be made in consideration of the payment by the transferee of 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 committee of
three qualified real estate appraisers, one selected by the
Withdrawing General Partner, one selected by the transferee and a
third selected by the other two. The portion of the Withdrawing
General Partner's Interest designated to be transferred in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 7.4 shall be sufficient to ensure
the continued treatment of the Partnership as a partnership under the
Code and as a limited partnership under the Uniform Act, and, for the
purposes of Article X, shall be deemed to be effective as of the date
of Withdrawal, but the Partnership shall not make any distributions to
the designated transferee until the transfer shall have been made.
Any holder of any portion of the Interest of a Withdrawing General
Partner which is not designated to be transferred to the remaining or
successor General Partner pursuant to the provisions of this Section
7.3 shall become an Additional Limited Partner but (i) with the same
share of the profits, losses, tax credits, Cash Flow and other
distributions to which the holder of such Interest was entitled when
held as a General Partner Interest, and (ii) shall not participate in
the votes or Consents of the Investment Limited Partner hereunder.
The admission of any successor or additional General Partner shall be
subject to the consent of the Lenders and any Agency (if required) and
the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner.
7.5 Admission of Additional General Partner(s) under Certain
Circumstances
In the event the General Partner is a corporation and the
General Partner at any time, or from time to time, fails to have a net
worth which satisfies the 89-12 Requirements, the Special Limited
Partner, or its designees shall be admitted (and it hereby agrees to
be admitted), automatically and without further action by them or any
Partner, as additional General Partner, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement. The General Partners hereby agree to
take all action necessary to implement this Section 7.5. Further, the
General Partners agree in such event to give prompt written notice
thereof to the Lender and Agency. If the Lender or Agency rejects the
admission of any additional General Partner so admitted as a General
Partner, then such additional General Partner shall withdraw as a
General Partner promptly after an additional General Partner
acceptable to each Lender and Agency is admitted to the Partnership.
Simultaneously with such admission, each of the previously admitted
General Partner shall be deemed to have assigned proportionally to the
additional General Partner, automatically and without further action,
in consideration of $1.00 and any other consideration which may be
agreed upon, such portion of its General Partner 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, or such greater percentage as may be required,
either (i) in the opinion of the Tax Accountants, to assure the
partnership status of the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes
or (ii) by any Agency. An additional General Partner so admitted
shall automatically become the General Partner and be irrevocably
delegated all of the power and authority of all of the General
Partners pursuant to Section 6.13. The General Partners hereby grant
to the Special Limited Partner a special power of attorney,
irrevocable to the extent permitted by law and coupled with an
interest, to amend the Certificate and this Agreement and to do
anything else which, in the view of the Special Limited Partner, may
be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this Section
7.5 or to manage the business of the Partnership. The admission of an
additional General Partner shall not relieve the General Partners of
any of their economic obligations hereunder, and the General Partners
shall fully indemnify and hold harmless the additional General Partner
from and against any and all losses, judgments liabilities, expenses
and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained in connection
with its capacity as a General Partner.
ARTICLE VIII Transferability of Limited Partner Interests
8.1 Assignments
(a) Except by operation of law (including the laws of descent
and distribution), no Limited Partner may assign all or any part of
its Interest without the written consent of the General Partners, the
giving or withholding of which is exclusively within his discretion.
(b) An assignee of a Limited Partner who does not become a
Substituted Limited Partner shall have, and shall only have, the right
to receive the share of allocations and 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) Every 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
No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute an
assignee as Limited Partner in its place. Subject to Section 8.3, the
General Partners may, however, in their sole discretion, permit an
assignee to become a Substituted Limited Partner.
Any Substituted Limited Partner shall execute such instrument or
instruments as shall be required by the General Partners 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 may be made if such Disposition would
violate Section 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 Partners may, in addition to any other
requirement he may impose, require as a condition of any Disposition
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 in
contravention of any of the provisions of this Article 8.3 shall be
void and ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by the
Partnership.
ARTICLE IX Borrowings
All Partnership borrowings shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the restrictions of Section
6.2, and may be made from any source, including Partners and their
Affiliates. Any Partnership borrowings from any Partner shall be
subject to the prior written consent of the Lender (if required under
applicable regulations or requirements). If any Partner shall lend any
moneys to the Partnership, the amount of any such loan shall not be an
increase of such Partner's Capital Contribution. If any Partner shall
so lend moneys, each such 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 provided by the General Partners to the Partnership
pursuant to Section 6.8(a) shall not constitute borrowings for the
purposes of this Section IX or for any other purpose.
ARTICLE X Profits, Losses, Tax Credits, Distributions
and Capital Accounts
10.1 Profits, Losses and Tax Credits
(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Article,
for each Partnership fiscal year or portion thereof, all profits, tax-
exempt income, losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable expenditures,
and tax credits incurred or accrued on or after the Commencement Date,
other than those arising from a Capital Transaction, shall be
allocated 99% to the Investment Limited Partner and l% to the General
Partners.
(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, an amount of profit equal to the aggregate negative
balances (if any) in the Capital Accounts of all Partners
having negative balance Capital Accounts shall be
allocated to such Partners in proportion to their negative
Capital Account balances until all such Capital Accounts
shall have zero balances; and
Second, an amount of profits shall be allocated to each of
the Partners until the positive balance in the Capital
Account of each Partner equals, as nearly as possible, the
amount of cash which would be distributed to such Partner
if the aggregate amount in the Capital Accounts of all
Partners were cash available to be distributed in
accordance with the provisions of Clauses Third, Sixth,
Seventh, Eighth and Ninth of Section 10.2(b).
As to losses:
First, an amount of losses equal to the aggregate positive
balances (if any) in the Capital Accounts of all Partners
having positive balance Capital Accounts shall be
allocated to such Partners in proportion to their positive
Capital Account balances until all such Capital Accounts
shall have zero balances; provided, however, that if the
amount of losses so to be allocated is less than the sum
of the positive balances in the Capital Accounts of those
Partners having positive balances in their Capital
Accounts, then such losses shall be allocated to the
Partners in such proportions and in such amounts so that
the Capital Account balances of each Partner shall equal,
as nearly as possible, the amount such Partner would
receive if an amount equal to the excess of (a) the sum of
all Partners' balances in their Capital Accounts computed
prior to the allocation of losses under this clause First
over (b) the aggregate amount of losses to be allocated to
the Partners pursuant to this clause First were
distributed to the Partners in accordance with the
provisions of Clauses Third, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth of Section 10.2(b).
Second, the balance of such losses shall be allocated 1%
to the General Partners and 99% to the Investment Limited
Partner.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections
10.1(a) and 10.1(b), in no event shall any losses be allocated to the
Investment Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner, if and to
the extent that such allocation would cause, as of the end of the
Partnership taxable year, the negative balance in the Investment
Limited Partner's Capital Account to exceed such Partner's share of
Partnership Minimum Gain plus such Partner's share, if any, of Partner
Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain. Any losses which are not allocated to
a Partner by virtue of the application of this Section 10.1(c) shall
be allocated to the General Partners. For purposes of this Section
10.1(c), a Partner's Capital Account shall be treated as reduced by
Qualified Income Offset Items.
10.2 Cash Distributions Prior to Dissolution
(a) Cash Flow
Subject to Lender and Agency approval (if required), Cash Flow
for each fiscal year or portion thereof of the Partnership shall be
applied as follows:
First, to the payment of the Asset Management Fee for such year
and for any previous year(s) as to which the Asset Management Fee
shall not yet have been paid in full;
Second, to the repayment of any Subordinated Loans;
Third, to the payment of the deferred Construction and
Development Fee;
Fourth, in an amount not to exceed the difference between (i)
$1,819 and (ii) the amount of Cash Flow for such year applied under
Clause Second above, to the payment of the Annual Partnership
Management Fee attributable to such year and then to any accrued
amounts from previous year(s) as to which the Annual Partnership
Management Fee shall not yet have been paid in full; and
Fifth, the balance thereof, if any, shall be distributed
annually, within seventy-five (75) days after the end of the fiscal
year, fifty percent (50%) to the Investment Limited Partner and fifty
percent (50%) to the General Partners;
provided, however, that during such time as Agency regulations are
applicable to the Apartment Complex, the total amount of Cash Flow
which may be so distributed to the Partners in respect to any fiscal
year shall not exceed such amounts as Agency regulations permit to be
distributed.
(b) Distributions of other than Cash Flow
Prior to dissolution, if the General Partners shall determine
from time to time that cash is available for distribution from a
Capital Transaction, such cash 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 the Capital Transaction), excluding (i) debts
and liabilities of the Partnership to Partners or their Affiliates and
(ii) all unpaid fees owing to the General Partners or their
Affiliates; and to the establishment of any reserves which the General
Partners and the Auditors shall deem reasonably necessary for
contingent, unmatured or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the
Partnership;
Second, to the payment of the Asset Management Fee for such year
and for any previous year as to which the Asset Management Fee has not
been paid in full;
Third, to the payment to the Investment Limited Partner of the
full amount (including interest) of any Credit Recovery Loans;
Fourth, to the repayment of any Subordinated Loans;
Fifth, to the payment of the Annual Partnership Management Fee
for such year and for any previous year(s) as to which the Annual
Partnership Management Fee has not been paid in full;
Sixth, to the repayment of any then-unpaid debts and
liabilities owed to Partners or Affiliates thereof by the Partnership
for Partnership obligations (exclusive of Credit Recovery Loans and
Subordinated Loans) to any of them; provided, however, that any debts
or obligations to be repaid to any Limited Partner or Affiliate
thereof pursuant to this Clause Fifth shall be repaid prior to the
repayment of any such debts or obligations to any General Partners or
his Affiliates;
Seventh, to the payment to the Investment Limited Partner of an
amount equal to its paid-in capital, less any prior distributions made
to such Investment Limited Partner under this Clause Sixth, but never
an amount less than zero;
Eighth, to the repayment to the General Partners of their paid-
in Capital Contribution minus any prior distributions made to his
under this Clause Seventh and under Section 10.1(b), but never an
amount less than zero; and
Ninth, any balance 50% to the Investment Limited Partner and 50%
to the General Partners.
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 taxable 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 his or 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 taxable 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 taxable year
(or, if later, within 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
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), "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 Section 7701(g) of the
Code), and the Partnership's adjusted basis for such assets as
determined under Regulation Section 1.704-1(b). 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 Partners with the Consent of
the Investment 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 Non-Recourse Debt (including, without limitation,
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 taxable 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 Partner or Partners that
bear the Economic Risk of Loss (within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-T(b)(4)(iv)(k)(1) with respect to such
obligations in the ratio in which they bear the Economic Risk of
Loss (or to the General Partners in the case of extraordinary
events); and second, the balance of deductions (including all
cost recovery deductions) shall be allocated as provided in
Section 10.1(a). For purposes of this section, extraordinary
events include casualty losses, losses resulting from liability
to third parties for tortious injury, losses resulting from a
breach of legal duty by the Partnership or by the General
Partners, and losses resulting from other liabilities which are
not incurred in the ordinary course of business. Nothing in
this Section 10.4(b)(i) shall prevent the Partnership from
recovering an extraordinary loss from a General Partner who is
liable therefor by law or under this Agreement.
(ii) If any profit arises from the sale of 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 Partner 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 Partners 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 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 Treasury Regulation Section 1. 704 - 1 (b) 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 Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1
(b)(2)(iv)(g).
(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). Profits and losses for
Federal income tax purposes shall be computed and allocated in
the same manner as set forth in this Article X, except as
provided in Section 10.4(b)(iv).
(vi) If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum
Gain during a Partnership taxable year, each Partner will be
allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) in proportion to, and to the extent
of, an amount equal to the greater of (a) the portion of such
Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain
during the year that is allocable to the disposition of
Partnership property subject to one or more Partnership Non-
Recourse Liabilities or (b) the deficit balance in such
Partner's Capital Account at the end of such year. For purposes
of the foregoing clause (b), a Partner's Capital Account shall
be determined (A) prior to taking into account any other
allocations for the year, (B) by excluding from such negative
Capital Account balance the amount of such Partner's obligation,
if any, to restore a negative balance in such Partner's Capital
Account, (C) by treating each Partner's share of Partnership
Minimum Gain as an obligation to restore a negative balance in
such Partner's Capital Account and (D) by treating a Partner's
share of the minimum gain attributable to Partner Non-Recourse
Debt with respect to which such Partner or a Related Person
bears the economic risk of loss for such debt as an obligation
to restore a negative balance in such Partner's Capital Account.
Such allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the
requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704T(b)(4)(iv)(e)
under Section 704 of the Code. For purposes of this Section
10.4(b)(vi), a Partner's Capital Account shall be treated as
reduced by Qualified Income Offset items.
(vii) If there is a net decrease in Partner Non-Recourse
Debt Minimum Gain during a Partnership taxable year, then each
Partner with a share of the minimum gain attributable to such
debt at the beginning of such year will be allocated items of
income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent
years) in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal
to the greater of (a) the portion of such Partner's share of the
net decrease in Partnership Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain that
is allocable to the disposition of Partnership property subject
to such debt or (b) the negative balance in such Partner's
Capital Account at the end of such year. For purposes of the
foregoing clause (b), a Partner's Capital Account shall be
determined (A) prior to taking into account any other
allocations for the year, (B) by excluding from such deficit
Capital Account balance the amount of such Partner's obligation,
if any, to restore a negative balance in such Partner's Capital
Account, (C) by treating each Partner's share of Partnership
Minimum Gain as an obligation to restore a negative balance in
such Partner's Capital Account and (D) by treating a Partner's
share of the minimum gain attributable to Partner Non-Recourse
Debt with respect to which such Partner or a Related Person
bears the economic risk of loss for such debt as an obligation
to restore a negative balance in such Partner's Capital Account.
Such allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the
requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704T(b)(4)(iv)(h)
under Section 704 of the Code. For purposes of this Section
10.4(b)(vii), a Partner's Capital Account shall be treated as
reduced by Qualified Income Offset items.
(viii) If a Limited Partner unexpectedly receives (a)
an allocation of loss or deduction or expenditures described in
Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code made (1) pursuant to Section
704(e)(2) of the Code to a donee of an Interest, (2) pursuant to
Section 706(d) of the Code as the result of a change in any
Partner's Interest, or (3) pursuant to Regulation Section 1.751-
1(b)(2)(ii) as a result of a distribution by the Partnership of
unrealized receivables or inventory items or (b) a distribution,
and such allocation and/or distribution would cause the negative
balance in such Partner's Capital Account to exceed (i) such
Partner's share of Partnership Minimum Gain plus (ii) the amount
of such Partner's obligation (actual or deemed), to restore a
negative balance in such Partner's Capital Account, plus (iii)
such Partner's share of Partner Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain,
then such Partner shall be allocated items of income and gain in
an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such negative
balance as quickly as possible. For purposes of this Section
10. 4(b)(viii), a Partner's Capital Account shall be treated as
reduced by Qualified Income Offset Items.
(ix) In the event that any fee payable to the General
Partners or their Affiliates 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 the General Partners in the year(s)
of payment an amount of gross income equal to the amount of such
distribution in such year.
(x) 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 Section 10.2(a).
(3) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by distributions
from Capital Transactions under Section 10.2(b).
(4) Capital Accounts shall be increased by any minimum
gain chargeback under Section 10.4(b)(vi) or Section
10.4(b)(vii).
(5) Capital Accounts shall be increased by any qualified
income offset under Section 10.4(b)(viii).
(6) Capital Accounts shall be increased by allocations
of profits under Section 10.1(a).
(7) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by allocations of
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).
(xi) To the maximum extent permitted under the Code,
allocations of profits and losses shall be modified so that the
Partners, Capital Accounts reflect the amounts they would have
reflected if adjustments required by Sections 10.4(b)(vi),
10.4(b)(vii) and 10.4(b)(viii) had not occurred.
10.5 Authority of the General Partners 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 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. In order to preserve and protect the determinations and
allocations provided for in this Agreement, the General Partners are
hereby authorized and directed to allocate profits, tax-exempt income,
losses, nondeductible non-capitalizable expenditures and credits (and
items thereof) arising in any year differently than otherwise provided
for in this Agreement to the extent that allocating profits, tax-
exempt income, losses, nondeductible 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 and the
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. 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 Partners are authorized to act only after
having been advised in writing by the Tax Accountants that, under
Section 704(b) of the Code, (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 year or in any preceding year, each
Partner's distributive share of profits, tax-exempt income, losses,
non-deductible non-capitalizable expenditures, and 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.
(c) If the General Partners are 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
Partners are 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, 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 Partners 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 Partners 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
A. The General Partners shall engage the Management Agent,
who shall be Xxxxxxx Management, Inc., to manage the Apartment Complex
pursuant to the Management Agreement. The Management Agent shall
receive a Management Fee of 9.62% of gross rental receipts payable by
the Partnership for management services in accordance with a
management contract approved by the Lender or Agency (if such approval
is required), or when the Apartment Complex is not subject to Agency
regulation, in accordance with a reasonable and competitive fee
arrangement. From and after the Admission Date, the Partnership shall
not enter into any Management Agreement or modify or extend any
Management Agreement unless (i) the General Partners shall have
obtained the prior written consent 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 Partners. If the Management Agent obtains an increase
in the Management Fee through the approval of the Lender or Agency,
then the consent to such increase by the Special Limited Partner shall
not be unreasonably withheld.
B. No duplicate property management fees shall be paid to any
Person.
C. If (i) the General Partners are the Management Agent or
the Management Agent is an Affiliate of the General Partners, and (a)
the Apartment Complex shall be subject to a substantial building code
violation which shall not have been cured within six months after
notice from the applicable governmental agency or department or (b)
the Partnership shall not have Cash Flow of at least $1,819 during any
year after 1997, or (ii) an Event of Bankruptcy shall occur with
respect to the Management Agent, or (iii) the Management Agent shall
commit willful misconduct or gross negligence in its conduct of its
duties and obligations under the Management Agreement or (iv) there is
any change in the identity of the General Partners, or (v) the
Management Agent is cited by the Lender or Agency, including any Tax
Credit monitoring or compliance agency of the State or any other
governmental agency for a material violation or alleged material
violation of any applicable rules, regulations or requirements,
including, but not limited to, 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 approval, if required, the General Partners must
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 not an Affiliate of the General Partners acting as Management
Agent. With respect to any material violation or alleged violation in
subpart (v) above, the General Partners shall be given a period of
sixty (60) days of such notice of a material violation, to cure the
event or condition giving rise to the removal to the satisfaction of
the Special Limited Partner seeking the removal in its sole and
absolute discretion. The General Partners hereby grant 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 the General Partners 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.C. Subject to Agency approval, if
required, 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.
D. The General Partners shall have the duty to manage the
Apartment Complex during any period when there is no Management Agent.

Partner, or its duly authorized representatives, shall at all times
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 names and addresses of

the extent permitted by applicable Agency or Mortgage requirements, in
interest-bearing accounts or invested in United States Government
obligations maturing within one year.

Partners, 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 year, the Auditors shall deliver the tax returns for such 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 year, then the
Tax Accountants shall make the final decision on whether any changes
are necessary. The Partnership shall reimburse Boston Capital for all
costs and expenses paid to the Tax Accountants for the aforementioned
services.
(b) The Auditors shall audit and certify all annual financial
reports to the Partners in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.

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 notice from the
Special Limited Partner that a change in the identity of the Auditors
is desired, the General Partners, on behalf of the Partnership, shall
promptly terminate the Partnership's engagement of the Auditors, and
the prior written consent of the Special Limited Partner must be
received to the appointment of replacement Auditors. If no such
consent is received to the appointment of 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 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 view of the Special Limited Partner may be necessary or
appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this Section 12.3(c).
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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, unless the Consent of
the Investment Limited Partner is received permitting a different cost
recovery schedule, the Partnership shall depreciate its personal and
real property utilizing the alternative depreciation system of Section
168(g)(2)of the Code.
(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 Partners 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.

the Investment Limited Partner or a transfer of all or any part of an
interest of a partner and/or holders of beneficial assignee
certificates of the Investment Limited Partner, the Partnership shall

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 beneficial assignee certificate thereof. Each

No Disposition may be made if the Interest sought to be
Disposed of, when added to the total of all other Interests

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

the Project Documents shall govern the rights and obligations of the
Partners, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns to the extent expressly provided therein; (c) upon any
dissolution of the Partnership or any transfer of the Apartment
Complex, no title or right to the possession and control of the
Apartment Complex and no right to collect the rent therefrom shall
pass to any Person who is not, or does not become, bound by the
Project Documents and other Agency documents in a manner satisfactory
to the Lender and Agency; (d) no amendment to any provision of the
Project Documents shall become effective without the prior written
consent of the Lender and the Agency (if required); and (e) the
affairs of the Partnership shall be subject to Agency regulations and
no action shall be taken which would require the consent or approval
of the Agency unless the same is first 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 the Lender
and the Agency (if such consent is then required). No amendment to
this Agreement relating to matters governed by the Agency regulations
or requirements shall become effective until the prior written consent
of the Agency (if required) to such amendment shall have been
obtained.
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 Agency rules and 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 to be bound
by the obligations of the Partnership (other than the rules and
regulations of the Agency and the requirements of the Lender and/or
Agency), such provision or provisions shall be deemed void and of no
effect.
13.10 Paragraph Titles
All article and section headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and are not intended to qualify the

13.11 Amendment Procedure
This Agreement may be amended by the General Partners only with
the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner and the prior written
consent of the Special Limited Partner.
13.12 Extraordinary Limited Partner Expenses
Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Investment
Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner in connection with
exercising rights and remedies against the General Partners with
respect to this Agreement, including without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, shall be paid by the General Partners, if the
Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner are
found to be the prevailing party. All amounts due to the Investment
Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner pursuant to this
provision shall bear interest from demand at a rate of 9%.
If the General Partners breach any provision of this Agreement,
the Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner may
employ an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and
the General Partners shall owe the reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred by the Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special
Limited Partner only if the Investment Limited Partner and/or Special
Limited Partner are found to be the prevailing party, whether or not a
legal action is actually commenced against the General Partners by
reason of such breach. All amounts due to the Investment Limited
Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner pursuant to this provision
shall bear interest from demand at a rate equal to 9%.
13.13 Time of Admission
The Investment Limited Partner shall be deemed to have been
admitted to the Partnership as of the Commencement Date for all
purposes of this Agreement, including Article X hereof; provided,
however, that if regulations are issued 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 Partners
shall select a permitted admission date which is most favorable to the
Investment Limited Partner.
