and after retention of a minimum working capital reserve in an amount deemed prudent by the General Partner in its sole discretion. The reserve shall be established by the General Partner in amounts which are prudent to meet working capital requirements and reasonable future liabilities and contingencies of the Partnership. No payment of General Partner Builder Expense Reimbursement shall be made unless the General Partner has first reviewed available cash and has determined, on the basis of that review, that payment of such General Partner Builder Expense Reimbursement will not cause inadequate Net Cash Receipts to be available to pay then due First Tier Distributions and Second Tier Distributions as defined and provided for in Section 15.2(a) and (b) below.

Section 15.2 Distribution of Net Cash Receipts

Net Cash Receipts shall be distributable by the General Partner to the Partners as follows:

(a) First Tier Distributions. The General Partner shall distribute to the Limited Partner from Net Cash Receipts an amount which is equal to a 19.5% rate- of-return on the current balance of the aggregate capital contributions of the Limited Partner outstanding from time-to-time (“First Tier Distributions”). Accrual of First Tier Distributions shall commence as of the date of receipt of the Limited Partner’s capital contribution to the Partnership. Accordingly, such payments of First Tier Distributions shall be payable during the term of this Agreement commencing with the effective date of this Agreement from Net Cash Receipts if and to the extent Net Cash Receipts are available for payment of First Tier Distributions.

(b) Second Tier Distributions. To the extent of any Net Cash Receipts remaining after payment of First Tier Distributions, the General Partner shall, upon the closing of each completed residence constructed on the Property distribute to the Limited Partner a sum equal to (i) the Limited Partner’s total capital contributions divided by (ii) the number of units to be developed on the Property and established by the Partnership (“Second Tier Distributions”) for each such residence to reduce, until completely repaid, the Limited Partner’s capital contribution not yet repaid. If and to the extent Net Cash Receipts after payment of First Tier Distributions are insufficient to pay such Second Tier Distributions at each such closing, such Second Tier Distribution shall not be waived and shall be paid as soon as Net Cash Receipts are sufficient after payment of First Tier Distributions.

(c) Third Tier Distributions. To the extent of any Net Cash Receipts remaining after payment of the First Tier Distributions and Second Tier Distributions, any additional Net Cash Receipts shall be paid to the General Partner (“Third Tier Distributions”). No Third Tier Distributions shall be paid at any time that any First Tier Distributions and Second Tier Distributions then due under the terms of this Agreement have not been paid to the Limited Partner or if there are any unpaid loans

from the Partnership to the General Partner. In no event shall any Third Tier Distribution be made unless there is undistributed profit in the amount of such Third Tier Distribution after deduction of First Tier Distributions through that time.

(d) Timing of Payments. To the extent of Net Cash Receipts, each of the distribution tiers described above other than Second Tier Distributions shall be payable to the applicable Partner once each quarter, commencing as described above after the effective date of this Agreement. Such payments shall be made by the 15th day after the end of each quarter.

(e) No Guaranty. The Limited Partner understands that the distribution tiers described above and as may be referred to or described elsewhere in this Agreement are solely for purposes of determining the order of distribution of Net Cash Receipts and are no guaranties by the Partnership or the General Partner that any specified capital contribution will be repaid or that any other such distributions will be made.

Section 15.3 Allocations of Profits, Losses and Distributions

(a) All profits of the Partnership for income tax and financial accounting and reporting purposes shall be allocated as follows:

(i) First, all of the profits shall be allocated to the Limited Partner in an amount equal to the total First Tier Distributions which have been accrued.

(ii) Second, any remaining unallocated profits in a subject fiscal year shall be allocated all to the General Partner.

(iii) Third, until the time the Partnership has delivered the first completed residence built by it on the Property to an individual home purchaser, any losses through that date shall be allocated all to the General Partner. Thereafter, profits of the Partnership shall be allocated to the General Partner to the extent of any such losses allocated to the General Partner under the terms of the foregoing sentence of this subparagraph (iii).

(iv) Fourth, commercing with the date the Partnership delivers the first completed residence on the Property to an individual home buyer, losses in that and subsequent fiscal years shall be allocated to the

Limited Partner only to the extent of First Tier Distributions paid to the Limited Partner in that fiscal year, and after reducing the loss by any General Partner Home Builder Expense Reimbursement. For accounting and income tax purposes, no loss shall be allocated to the Limited Partner, which includes any General Partner Home Building Expense Reimbursement. All additional losses, if any, shall be allocated to the General Partner.

(v) All of the profits and losses of the Partnership shall for such allocation purposes be determined for each fiscal year on a cumulative basis so that all profits and losses from the inception of the Partnership are considered in making such allocations.
