7.                  As a material inducement to the Withdrawing Limited Partner entering into this Amendment, the General Partners represent and warrant that the following are true and correct:

7.1              The Partnership at all times has been and continues to be a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws governing limited partnerships, as adopted in the state of its formation. The Partnership has taken all requisite action in order to conduct lawfully its business in the state in which the Apartment Complex is situated, and is not qualified or licensed to do business and is not required to be so qualified or licensed in any other jurisdiction. The Partnership has the full power and authority to carry on its business, including without limitation, to own, lease and operate the Apartment Complex.

7.2              (i) The execution and delivery of this Amendment by the General Partners and the performance of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate and partnership proceedings, and (ii) assuming the due and proper execution and delivery by the Withdrawing Limited Partner, this Amendment is binding upon and enforceable against each of the General Partners in accordance with its terms.

8.                  As a material inducement to the Withdrawing Limited Partner entering into this Amendment, the Incoming Limited Partner hereby represents and warrants to the Withdrawing Limited Partner that (i) the execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Incoming Partner and the performance of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate and partnership proceedings and (ii) assuming the due and proper execution and delivery by the Withdrawing Limited Partner, this Amendment is binding upon and enforceable against the Incoming Limited Partner in accordance with its terms.

9.                  As a material inducement to the other Parties entering into this Amendment, the Withdrawing Limited Partner hereby represents and warrants that (i) the execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Withdrawing Limited Partner and the performance of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate and partnership proceedings and (ii) assuming the due and proper execution and delivery by the other Parties, this Amendment is binding upon and enforceable against the Withdrawing Limited Partner in accordance with its terms.

10.              The representations and warranties set forth above in paragraphs 7, 8, and 9 shall be true and correct as of the Effective Date and shall survive the withdrawal of the Withdrawing Limited Partner from and the admission of the Incoming Limited Partner into the Partnership.

11.              Notwithstanding the withdrawal of the Withdrawing Limited Partner, the General Partners acknowledge that from and after the Effective Date matters may arise that relate back to events that occurred prior to the Effective Date (for purposes of illustration and not limitation, audits by the IRS).  The General Partners agree that as to such matters (i) the General Partners shall conduct themselves in a manner which is consistent with the obligations they had as the General Partners immediately prior to the Effective Date and, accordingly, recognize all of the corresponding rights of the Withdrawing Limited Partner as if the Withdrawing Limited Partner had not withdrawn from the Partnership as provided in this Amendment and (ii) that nothing herein shall relieve the General Partners from such pre-existing obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partners shall:

11.1          file on behalf of the Partnership for the current Fiscal Year a United States Partnership Return of Income and such other tax returns and other documents from time to time as may be required by the federal government or by any state or any subdivision thereof within the time(s) prescribed by law for such filings;

11.2          deliver to the Withdrawing Limited Partner within ninety (90) days after the end of the current Fiscal Year such tax information, including, without limitation, a copy of Schedule K-1, as shall be reasonably necessary for inclusion by the Withdrawing Limited Partner in its federal income tax return and required state income tax and other tax returns;

11.3          deliver to the Withdrawing Limited Partner the current Fiscal Year audited financial statement of the Partnership as required pursuant to the terms of Section 11.7 of the Amended Partnership Agreement.

If the General Partners shall fail, for any reason, to prepare and/or deliver to the Withdrawing Limited Partner any of the returns or other information required by this paragraph 11, the Withdrawing Limited Partner shall have the right to cause such returns and other information prepared at the sole cost and expense of the General Partners, plus an administrative fee payable to the Withdrawing Limited Partner in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Withdrawing Limited Partner to have such returns and information prepared. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Withdrawing Limited Partner and their duly authorized representatives shall have the right to inspect and copy such portions of the Partnership’s books of account which are necessary or appropriate for the preparation of such returns and information; provided, however, it is expressly understood and agreed by the Withdrawing Limited Partner that such access is solely for the purpose of preparing such returns or other information that the General Partners failed to prepare and/or deliver as herein provided, and shall not be deemed to grant the Withdrawing Limited Partner any other rights with respect to the Partnership and/or the operation of its business.

12.              Without limiting the generality of the provisions of paragraph 11,

12.1          Within five (5) calendar days after the sending or the receipt of any correspondence or communication relating to the Partnership to or from the IRS which could affect the Withdrawing Limited Partner, or either of them, the Operating General Partner, as the “Tax Matters Partner” (as that term is defined in the Code) of the Partnership, shall promptly forward to the Withdrawing Limited Partner a photocopy of all such correspondence or communication(s).

12.2          The Tax Matters Partner, shall not, with respect to any matter which could affect the Withdrawing Limited Partner, or either of them, take any of the following actions without the prior written consent or approval of the Withdrawing Limited Partner:

12.2.1    Extend the statute of limitations for assessing or computing any tax liability against the Partnership (or the amount or character of any Partnership tax items);

12.2.2    Settle any audit with the IRS concerning the adjustment or readjustment of any partnership item(s) (within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(3) of the Code);

12.2.3    File a request for an administrative adjustment with the IRS at any time or file a petition for judicial review with respect to any such request;

12.2.4    Initiate or settle any judicial review or action concerning the amount or character of any partnership tax item(s) (within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(3) of the Code); or

12.2.5    Intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for judicial review of a final adjustment.

13.              In the event of any Partnership level proceeding instituted by the IRS pursuant to Sections 6221 through 6233 of the Code which could affect the Withdrawing Limited Partner, the Operating General Partner, as the Tax Matters Partner, shall consult with the Withdrawing Limited Partner regarding the nature and content of all action and defense to be taken by the Partnership in response to such proceeding. The Tax Matters Partner also shall consult with the Withdrawing Limited Partner regarding the nature and content of any proceeding pursuant to Sections 6221 through 6233 of the Code instituted by or on behalf of the Partnership (including the decision to institute proceedings, whether administrative or judicial, and whether in response to a previous IRS proceeding against the Partnership or otherwise).

14.              This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original for all purposes, but all of which taken together shall constitute only one agreement.

15.              The Parties shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts and things as may be reasonably required to carry out the intent and purposes of this Amendment.

Except as set forth above, all of the terms and provisions of the Amended Partnership Amendment remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
