ARTICLE III

PARTNERS AND CAPITAL

Section 3.01. General Partner.

(a) The name, address and Capital Contribution of the General Partner (which shall be measured by its capital account in the Prior Partnership on the Merger Date) are set forth in Schedule A. The General Partner, as such, shall not be required to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership, except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 3.01.

(b) Upon the dissolution and termination of the Partnership, the General Partner will contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to the lesser of (i) any deficit balance in its Capital Account or (ii) the excess of (A) 1.01% of the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners to the Partnership (including the Capital Contribution of the Initial Limited Partner made on behalf of the BUC Holders) over (B) the amount of previous Capital Contributions made by the General Partner to the Partnership.

Section 3.02. Limited Partner. The name, address and Capital Contribution of the Limited Partner (which initially shall be measured by its capital account in the Prior Partnership on the Merger Date) are as set forth in Schedule A. The Capital Contribution made by the Initial Limited Partner shall be deemed to have been made on behalf of, and as trustee for, the BUC Holders. Neither the Initial Limited Partner nor the BUC Holders shall be required to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership. Other than to serve as Initial Limited Partner, the Initial Limited Partner shall have no other business purpose and shall not engage in any other activity or incur any debts. The Initial Limited Partner agrees not to amend its articles of incorporation with respect to the incurrence of debt without the written Consent of a majority in interest of the BUC Holders.

Section 3.03. Partnership Capital.

(a) No Partner or BUC Holder shall be paid interest on any Capital Contribution.

(b) Except as specifically provided in Section 6.03, the Partnership shall not be required to redeem or repurchase any Partnership Interest or BUC and no Partner or BUC Holder shall have the right to withdraw, or receive any return of, his Capital Contribution. Under circumstances requiring a return of any Capital Contribution, no Limited Partner or BUC Holder will have the right to receive property other than cash.

(c) No Limited Partner or BUC Holder shall have any priority over any other Limited Partner or BUC Holder as to the return of his Capital Contribution or as to distributions.

(d) The General Partner shall have no liability for the repayment of the Capital Contributions.

Section 3.04. Liability of Partners and BUC Holders. No Limited Partner or BUC Holder shall be required to lend any funds to the Partnership or, after his Capital Contribution has been paid, to make any further Capital Contribution to the Partnership. The liability of any Limited Partner or BUC Holder for the losses, debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership shall, so long as the Limited Partner or BUC Holder complies with Section 5.01(b), be limited to his Capital Contribution and his share of any undistributed Income of the Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is possible that, under applicable law, a Limited Partner or BUC Holder may be liable to the Partnership to the extent of previous distributions made to such Limited Partner or BUC Holder if such distributions have caused the liabilities of the Partnership to exceed the fair value of its assets. To the extent that the Initial Limited Partner is required by law to return any distributions or repay any amount, each BUC Holder who has received any portion of such distributions agrees, by virtue of accepting such distribution, to pay his proportionate share of such amount to the Initial Limited Partner immediately upon Notice by the Initial Limited Partner to such BUC Holder. In lieu of requiring return of such distributions from BUC Holders, the General Partner may withhold future distributions of Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds until the amount so withheld equals the amount of the distributions the Initial Limited Partner is required to repay or return regardless of whether the BUC Holders entitled to receive such distribution were the same BUC Holders who actually received the distribution required to be returned. In the event that the Initial Limited Partner is determined to have unlimited liability for losses, debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, nothing set forth in this Section shall be construed to require BUC Holders to assume any portion of such liability.

ARTICLE IV

(b) Loss arising from a Repayment or a sale or other disposition of a Mortgage Investment or Tax Exempt Investment or from the liquidation of Partnership assets shall be allocated among the Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner on behalf of the BUC Holders) in the same manner as Net Residual Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds are allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 4.02.

(c) All allocations to the Limited Partners and the BUC Holders as a class pursuant to Section 4.03 shall be made on a monthly basis among the Limited Partners or BUC Holders who held of record a Limited Partnership Interest or BUC as of the Monthly Record Date in the ratio that (i) the number of Limited Partnership Interests or BUCs held of record by each such Limited Partner or BUC Holder as of the Monthly Record Date bears to (ii) the aggregate number of Limited Partnership Interests and BUCs outstanding on each such Monthly Record Date.

(d) All allocations to the Limited Partners and the BUC Holders as a class pursuant to Section 4.04 shall be made among the Limited Partners or BUC Holders of record on the Monthly Record Date for the month during which the Income or Expense arose from a Repayment, sale or other liquidation of a Mortgage Investment or Tax Exempt Investment or liquidation of the Partnership, in the ratio that (i) the number of Limited Partnership Interests or BUCs held of record by each such Limited Partner or BUC Holder on such Monthly Record Date bears to (ii) the number of Limited Partnership Interests or BUCs outstanding on such Monthly Record Date.

(e) Net Interest Income and Net Residual Proceeds will be allocated to the Limited Partners or BUC Holders of record on the last day of the Distribution Period (or, if the General Partner so elects, on each Monthly Record Date during such Distribution Period) in the ratio that (i) the number of Limited Partnership Interests or BUCs owned of record by each such Limited Partner or BUC Holder on each such date bears to (ii) the number of Limited Partnership Interests or BUCs outstanding on such date.

There shall be credited to each Partner’s Capital Account the amount of such Partner’s Capital Contribution (equal to the amount of its capital account on the books and records of the Prior Partnership as of the Merger Date) and such Partner’s share of Income; and there shall be charged against each Partner’s Capital Account the amount of such Partner’s share of Loss and cash distributions. The Initial Limited Partner’s Capital Account shall be subdivided into separate Capital Accounts to reflect the interest of each BUC Holder. Any items credited or charged to the BUC Holders shall be reflected in the Capital Account of the Initial Limited Partner and in the subaccounts reflecting the interest of each BUC Holder. Any person who acquires a Limited Partnership Interest or a BUC from a Limited Partner or BUC Holder shall have a Capital Account equal to the Capital Account of the Limited Partner or BUC Holder from which such Limited Partnership Interest or BUC was acquired.

Section 4.07. Rights to Distributions. Each holder of Partnership Interests and BUCs shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for all distributions with respect to the Partnership, his Capital Contributions and his share of Net

Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds and, except as provided in Section 3.01(b), shall have no recourse therefor, upon dissolution or otherwise, against the General Partner or the Initial Limited Partner. No Partner or BUC Holder shall have any right to demand or receive property other than cash upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership. All distributions pursuant to this Article IV are subject to the provisions of Section 3.04.

(g) No Person dealing with the General Partner shall be required to determine the General Partner’s authority to enter into any contract, agreement or undertaking on behalf of the Partnership or to determine any facts or circumstances bearing upon the existence of such authority. Any Person dealing with the Partnership or the General Partner may rely upon a certificate signed by the General Partner as to:

(d) The General Partner and its Affiliates shall not have the right to contract or otherwise deal with the Partnership for the provision of goods and services, except for those dealings, contracts or provisions of services described in this Agreement. The provision of any goods and services by the General Partner or its Affiliates shall be part of its or their ordinary and ongoing business in which it or they have previously engaged, independent of the activities of the Partnership and such goods and services being provided shall be reasonable for and necessary to the Partnership, shall actually furnished to the Partnership and (except as provided in Section 5.05(f) hereof) shall be provided at the lower of the actual cost of such goods or services or the competitive price charged for such goods or services by independent parties for comparable goods and services in the same geographic location and the provision of such goods and services in all other respects meets the requirements of Section 5.03(c) and (d). The costs of verifying that the amounts paid to the General Partner or its Affiliates for such goods and services meet the foregoing standard may be reimbursed to the General Partner or its Affiliates only to the extent that, when added to the costs of such goods and services rendered, such sum does not exceed the competitive rate for such goods and services.

(e) All goods and services provided by the General Partner or any Affiliates pursuant to Section 5.03(b) shall be rendered pursuant to this Agreement or a written contract, which contract precisely describes the services to be rendered and all compensation to be paid and shall contain a clause allowing termination without penalty on 60 days’ Notice to the General Partner by the vote of the majority in interest of the Limited Partners and the BUC Holders (the Initial Limited Partner acting according to direction of the BUC Holders). Any payment made to the General Partner or any Affiliate for such goods and services shall be fully disclosed to all Limited Partners and BUC Holders in the reports required under this Agreement. Neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate shall, by the making of lump sum payments to any other Person for disbursement by such other Person, circumvent the provisions of Section 5.03(b), (c) or (d).

(f) The General Partner is prohibited from entering into any agreements, contracts or arrangements on behalf of the Partnership with the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner under which:

(vii) the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner makes a loan to the Partnership which provides for a prepayment penalty or provides for an interest rate or other finance charges and fees which are in excess of the lesser of (A) amounts charged by unrelated banks on comparable loans to the Partnership or (B) the same rate as the General Partner or such Affiliate paid to obtain the funds to make the loan to the Partnership.

(g) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 5.03, neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall:

(i) receive any rebate or give‑up, or participate in any reciprocal arrangement, which would circumvent the provisions of this Section 5.03; or

(iii) charge the Partnership for, or take from any other Person, any program management, real estate brokerage or mortgage servicing fee with respect to Partnership property or assets.

(f) Nothing in this Section 5.03 shall prevent an Affiliate of the General Partner from acquiring and holding debt securities or other interests secured by a Property, provided that the Mortgage Investment held by the

Partnership that is secured by the same Property may not be junior or subordinate to the interest held by such Affiliate.

Section 5.04. General Restrictions on Authority of the General Partner. In exercising management authority and control of the Partnership, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership and in furtherance of the business of the Partnership, shall have the authority to perform all acts which the Partnership is authorized to perform. However, the General Partner shall not have any authority to:

(f) perform any act in violation of this Agreement or any applicable law or regulation thereunder;

(g) do any act required to be approved or ratified by the Limited Partners under the Act without Consent of the Limited Partners or the BUC Holders, unless the right to do so is expressly otherwise given in this Agreement;

(q) knowingly perform any act that would subject any Limited Partner or BUC Holder to liability as a general partner in any jurisdiction;

(r) allocate any Income or Loss (or any item thereof) to any Partner or BUC Holder if, and only to the extent that, such allocation will cause the determinations and allocations of Income or Loss (or any item thereof) provided for in Article IV hereof not to be permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder;

(s) confess a judgment against the Partnership;

(t) issue equity securities with rights and privileges senior to those of the BUCs;

(w) invest Partnership funds in (i) securities of other issuers, except for Mortgage Investments, Tax Exempt Investments and temporary investments pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(xii), (ii) land contracts, or (iii) unimproved real estate not associated with a Property.

Section 5.05. Compensation and Fees.

(a) The Partnership will pay the General Partner an Administrative Fee equal to 0.45% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of any Mortgage Investment or Tax Exempt Investment for which an unaffiliated party is not obligated to pay an “administrative fee” to the General Partner under the terms of such Mortgage Investment of Tax Exempt Investment. The Administrative Fee will be payable in equal monthly installments in arrears based on the average outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Investments or Tax Exempt Investments held by the Partnership during the previous month.

(b) Subject to Section 5.05(c), the Partnership will reimburse the General Partner or its Affiliates on a monthly basis for the actual out‑of‑pocket costs of direct telephone and travel expenses incurred by them on Partnership business, direct out‑of‑pocket fees, expenses and charges paid by them to third parties for rendering legal, auditing, accounting, bookkeeping, computer, printing and public relations services, expenses of preparing and distributing reports to Limited Partners and BUC Holders, an allocable portion of the salaries and fringe benefits of employees of AFCA or its Affiliates, insurance premiums (including premiums for liability insurance which will cover the Partnership, the General Partner and its general partner), the cost of compliance with all state and federal regulatory requirements and stock exchange or NASDAQ listing fees and charges and other payments to third parties for services rendered to the Partnership.

(c) The Partnership will not reimburse the General Partner or its Affiliates for the travel expenses of the president of the general partner of the General Partner or for any items of general overhead, including, but not limited to, rent, utilities or the use of computers, office equipment or other capital items owned by the General Partner or its Affiliates. The Partnership will not reimburse the General Partner or its general partner for any salaries or fringe benefits of any partner of the General Partner or of the officers or board of managers of its general partner regardless of whether such persons provide services to the Partnership.

(d) The Accountants will verify on the basis of generally accepted auditing standards that any amounts reimbursed by the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.05(c) were incurred by the General Partner or its Affiliates in connection with the conduct of the business and affairs of the Partnership or the acquisition and management of its assets and were permissible reimbursements pursuant to Section 5.05(c).

(e) In the event the Partnership becomes the equity owner of a Property, due to the foreclosure of a Mortgage Investment or otherwise, the Partnership will pay the General Partner an administrative fee of 0.45% of the principal amount of the Mortgage Investment relating to such Property and may pay the General Partner or an Affiliate a reasonable property management fee in the event the General Partner deems it to be in the best interest of the Partnership that it take over active management of the Property. Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.03, the General Partner may charge a property management fee not to exceed the lesser of (i) the competitive price charged for multifamily property management services by independent parties in the same geographic area as the managed Property or (ii) 5% of the gross revenues of the managed Property, irrespective of the General Partner’s or such Affiliates cost for providing such services.

(f) Except as provided in this Agreement, the General Partner will receive no compensation from the Partnership.

Section 5.06. Duties and Obligations of the General Partner.

(a) The General Partner shall devote to the affairs of the Partnership such time as it deems necessary for the proper performance of its duties under this Agreement, but neither the General Partner, its general partner nor any officer or manager of its general partners shall be expected to devote full time to the performance of such duties.

(b) The General Partner shall take such action as may be necessary or appropriate for the classification of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and for the continuation of the Partnership’s valid existence under the laws of the State of Delaware and in order to qualify the Partnership under the laws of any jurisdiction in which the Partnership is doing business or in which such qualification is necessary or appropriate

to protect the limited liability of the Limited Partners and BUC Holders or in order to continue in effect such qualification. The General Partner shall file or cause to be filed for recordation in the office of the appropriate authorities of the State of Delaware, and in the proper office or offices in each other jurisdiction in which the Partnership is qualified, such certificates, including limited partnership and fictitious name certificates, and other documents as are required by the applicable statutes, rules or regulations of any such jurisdiction.

(c) The General Partner shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file on or before the due date (or any extension thereof) any federal, state or local tax returns required to be filed by the Partnership. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to pay any taxes payable by the Partnership.

(d) The General Partner shall have fiduciary responsibility for the safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the Partnership, whether or not in the General Partner’s possession or control. The General Partner shall not employ, or permit another to employ, such funds or assets in any manner except for the exclusive benefit of the Partnership. The General Partner shall take all steps necessary to insure that the funds of the Partnership are not commingled with the funds of any other entity. The General Partner owes the same fiduciary duty to the BUC Holders as the General Partner owes to the Limited Partners.

Section 5.07. Delegation of Authority. Subject to the provisions of this Article V, the General Partner may delegate all or any of its powers, rights and obligations under this Agreement and may appoint, employ, contract or otherwise deal with any Person for the transaction of the business of the Partnership, which Person may, under supervision of the General Partner, perform any acts or services for the Partnership as the General Partner may approve. Notwithstanding any such delegation, the General Partner shall remain liable for any acts or omissions by such Person under the standards of responsibility for the General Partner set forth herein.

Section 5.08. Other Activities. The General Partner and its Affiliates may engage in or possess interests in other business ventures of every kind and description for their own accounts, including, without limitation, serving as general partner of other partnerships which own, either directly or through interests in other partnerships, investments similar in nature to the Mortgage Investments and Tax Exempt Investments. Neither the Partnership nor the Partners or BUC Holders shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in or to such other business ventures or to the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the business of the Partnership, shall not be deemed wrongful, improper or a breach of fiduciary duty.

Section 5.09. Limitation on Liability of the General Partner and Initial Limited Partner; Indemnification.

(a) Neither the General Partner, the Initial Limited Partner nor their Affiliates (including the officers, managers and members of the general partner of AFCA) shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership or to any of the Limited Partners or BUC Holders for any act or omission performed or omitted by such General Partner or Initial Limited Partner in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by it to be within the scope of the authority granted to it by this Agreement and in the best interests of the Partnership, provided that such General Partner’s or Initial Limited Partner’s conduct did not constitute Cause. The Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the General Partner, the Initial Limited Partner and their Affiliates (including the officers, managers and members of the general partner of AFCA) against and for any loss, liability or damage incurred by any of them or the Partnership by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by them in connection with the business of the Partnership, including all judgments, costs and attorneys’ fees (which attorneys’ fees may be paid as incurred, except as provided in 5.09(b)) and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims of liability, loss or damage, provided that the indemnified Person’s conduct did not constitute Cause. The satisfaction of any indemnification obligation shall be from and limited to Partnership assets, and no Limited Partner or BUC Holder shall have any personal liability on account thereof. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding, by judgment or settlement, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the indemnified Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which is reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Partnership. Any indemnification under this subsection, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Partnership only upon a determination by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification of the indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection to the contrary, the General Partner shall be presumed to be personally liable to creditors for the debts of the Partnership.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.09(a), neither the General Partner, the Initial Limited Partner nor any officer, director, manager, partner, member, employee, agent, Affiliate, subsidiary or assign of the General Partner, the Initial Limited Partner or the Partnership shall be indemnified with regard to any liability, loss

or damage incurred by them in connection with any claim or settlement involving allegations that the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws were violated by the General Partner or by any such other Person unless: (i)(A) the General Partner or other Persons seeking indemnification are successful in defending such action on the merits of each count involving such violation, (B) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of such claims; and (ii) such indemnification is specifically approved by a court of law which shall have been advised as to the then current position of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding indemnification for violations of securities laws.

Section 5.10. Special Amendments to the Agreement.

(a) Any provision to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the General Partner may, without the Consent of the Limited Partners or BUC Holders, amend Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 4.05 of this Agreement on the advice of Counsel or the Accountants and upon Notice to the Limited Partners and BUC Holders mailed 10 days prior to the proposed effectiveness of such amendment (unless earlier effectiveness is required by law) to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with the Code and Regulations then in effect, provided that such amendments do not materially adversely affect the interests of the Limited Partners and BUC Holders in the sole determination of the General Partner.

(b) New allocations made by the General Partner in reliance upon the advice of Counsel or the Accountants pursuant to Section 5.10(a) shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary obligation of the General Partner to the Partnership, the Limited Partners and the BUC Holders, and no such new allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Limited Partner or BUC Holder.

(c) The General Partner may take such action as it deems necessary or appropriate, including action with respect to the manner in which BUCs are being or may be transferred or traded, in order to preserve the status of the Partnership as a partnership rather than an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or to insure that BUC Holders will be treated as limited partners for federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE VI

CHANGES IN GENERAL PARTNERS

Section 6.01. Withdrawal of General Partner. The General Partner shall not be entitled to voluntarily withdraw from the Partnership or to sell, transfer or assign all or a portion of its Partnership Interest as General Partner unless a substitute General Partner has been admitted in accordance with the conditions of Section 6.02.

Section 6.02. Admission of a Successor or Additional General Partner. The General Partner may at any time designate additional Persons to be General Partners, whose Partnership Interest in the Partnership shall be such as shall be agreed upon by the General Partner and such additional General Partners, provided that the Partnership Interests of the Limited Partners and the BUC Holders shall not be reduced thereby. A Person shall be admitted as a General Partner of the Partnership only if each of the following conditions is satisfied:

(h) The admission of such Person shall have been Consented to by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner voting on behalf of the BUC Holders) as a class;

(i) such Person shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart hereof, and such documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate in order to effect the admission of such Person as a General Partner shall have been filed for recording, and all other actions required by law in connection with such admission shall have been performed;

(j) if such Person is a corporation, it shall have provided the Partnership evidence satisfactory to Counsel of its authority to become a General Partner and to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and

(k) the Partnership shall have received an opinion of Counsel that the admission of such Person is in conformity with the Act and that none of the actions taken in connection with the admission of such Person is in violation of the Act.

Section 6.03. Removal of a General Partner. Subject to Section 10.02, a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner voting on behalf of the BUC Holders) acting together as a class, without the Consent or other action by the General Partner to be removed, may remove any General Partner and, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.02 and 8.01(a), may elect a replacement therefor. After the Limited Partners vote to remove a General Partner pursuant to this Section 6.03, they shall provide the removed General Partner with Notice thereof, which Notice shall set forth the date upon which such removal is to become effective, which date shall be no earlier than the date upon which the General Partner receives such Notice.

Section 6.04. Effect of Incapacity of a General Partner.

(g) Upon the Incapacity of a General Partner, such General Partner shall immediately cease to be a General Partner. If the Incapacitated General Partner is not the sole General Partner, the business of the Partnership shall be continued by the remaining General Partner who shall immediately (i) give Notice to the Limited Partners and BUC Holders of such Incapacity and (ii) prepare such amendments to this Agreement and execute and file for recording such amendments or documents or other instruments necessary to reflect the assignment, transfer, termination or conversion (as the case may be) of the Partnership Interest of the Incapacitated General Partner. If the Incapacitated General Partner is the sole General Partner, the provisions of Section 8.01(a)(i) shall be applicable.

(h) Nothing in this Section 6.04 shall affect any rights, including the rights to the payment of any fees under this Agreement, of the Incapacitated General Partner which matured or were earned prior to the Incapacity of such General Partner. Such Incapacitated General Partner shall remain liable for all obligations and liabilities incurred by it as General Partner before such Incapacity shall have become effective, but shall be free from any obligations or liability as General Partner incurred on account of the activities of the Partnership from and after the time such Incapacity shall have become effective.

(i) The Partnership Interest of an Incapacitated General Partner shall be converted into that of a Limited Partner with the same rights under Article IV as such Incapacitated General Partner has prior to its Incapacity to share in Income, Loss, Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds. However, any Incapacitated General Partner which becomes a Limited Partner pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall not have the right to participate in the management of the affairs of the Partnership or to vote on any matter requiring the Consent of the Limited Partners and shall not be entitled to any portion of the Income, Loss, Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds payable to the class comprised of Limited Partners and BUC Holders. Notwithstanding the conversion of a Incapacitated General Partner’s Partnership Interest, a successor or remaining General Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the Partnership Interest of the Incapacitated General Partner at the then fair market value of such Partnership Interest The fair market value of the Incapacitated General Partner’s Partnership Interest shall be the sum of (i) the present value of future administrative fees and Net Interest Income which would be paid to the Incapacitated General Partner if the Incapacity had not occurred and (ii) the amount the Incapacitated General Partner would receive upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership, assuming that such dissolution or termination occurred on the date of the event causing the Incapacity and the assets of the Partnership were sold for their then fair market value without any compulsion on the part of the Partnership to sell such assets. The fair market value of such Partnership Interest shall be determined by agreement of the Incapacitated General Partner and the successor or remaining General Partner or, if they cannot agree, by arbitration in accordance with the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association. The expense of arbitration shall be borne equally by the Incapacitated General Partner and the successor or remaining General Partner.

(j) All parties hereto hereby agree to take all actions and to execute all documents necessary or appropriate to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.04.

ARTICLE VII

TRANSFERABILITY OF BUCS AND LIMITED PARTNERS’ INTERESTS

Section 7.01. Free Transferability of BUCs.

(l) BUCs shall be issued in registered form only and shall be freely transferable (subject to compliance with federal or state securities law and Section 7.02 or 11.04 of this Agreement); provided, however, nothing in this Agreement shall impose any obligation on the General Partner, the Partnership or any transfer agent to restrict or place conditions on the transfer of BUCs.

(m) BUCs may be transferred only on the books and records of the Partnership.

(n) A Person shall be recognized as a BUC Holder for all purposes on the books and records of the Partnership as of the day on which the General Partner (or other transfer agent appointed by the General Partner) receives evidence of the transfer of a BUC to such Person which is satisfactory to the General Partner. All BUC Holder rights, including voting rights, rights to receive distributions and rights to receive reports, and all allocations in respect of BUC Holders, including allocations of Income and Loss, will vest in, and be allocable to, each BUC Holder as of the close of business on such day.

(o) In order to record a transfer of a BUC on the Partnership’s books and records, the General Partner may require such evidence of transfer or assignment and authority of the transferor or assignor, including signature guarantees, and such additional documentation as the General Partner may determine.

(p) The General Partner is hereby authorized to do all things necessary in order to register the BUCs under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to qualify the BUCs with state securities regulatory authorities or to perfect exemptions from qualification, to cause the BUCs to be listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market or a national stock exchange and to any other actions necessary to allow the resale of BUCs by the BUC Holders.

Section 7.02. Restrictions on Transfers of BUCs and of Interests of Limited Partners Other Than the Initial Limited Partner.

(x) If any sale, assignment, pledge or transfer of a Limited Partnership Interest, other than by the Initial Limited Partner, or of a BUC, when considered with all other sales, assignments, pledges or transfers of Partnership Interests and BUCs within the previous 12‑month period, may result in the transfer (within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code and Regulations promulgated thereunder) of more than 45% of the Partnership Interest and BUCs, then the sale, assignment, pledge or transfer of a Limited Partnership Interest or a BUC may be suspended or deferred by the General Partner; provided, however, that the General Partner will have no obligation to suspend or defer any such sale, assignment, pledge or transfer. The seller, assignor, pledgor or transferor shall be notified of such deferral, and any transaction deferred pursuant to this provision shall be effected (in chronological order to the extent practicable) as of the first day of the next succeeding period as of which such transaction can be effected without either termination of the Partnership for tax purposes or any material adverse effects from such termination. In the event transactions are suspended, the General Partner shall give written Notice of such suspension to all Limited Partners and BUC Holders as soon as practicable.

(y) A Limited Partner (other than the Initial Limited Partner) may assign his Limited Partnership Interests only by a duly executed written instrument of assignment, the terms of which are not in contravention of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Within 30 days after an assignment of Limited Partnership Interests (other than by the Initial Limited Partner) which occurs without a transfer of record ownership of such Limited Partnership Interests, the assignor shall give Notice of such assignment to the General Partner.

(z) The provisions of this Section 7.02 and of Section 7.03 shall not apply to the transfer and assignment by the Initial Limited Partner of Limited Partnership Interests to BUC Holders in accordance with Section 11.01(a).

Section 7.03. Assignees of Limited Partners Other Than the Initial Limited Partner.

(k) If a Limited Partner other than the Initial Limited Partner dies, his executor, administrator or trustee, or, if he is adjudicated incompetent, his committee, guardian or conservator, or, if he becomes Bankrupt, the trustee or receiver of his estate, shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner for the purpose of settling or managing his estate and such power as the deceased or incompetent Limited Partner possessed to assign all or any part of his Limited Partnership Interests and to join with the assignee thereof in satisfying any conditions precedent to such assignee becoming a Limited Partner. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner shall not dissolve the Partnership.

(l) The Partnership need not recognize for any purpose any assignment of all or any fraction of the Limited Partnership Interests of a Limited Partner other than the Initial Limited Partner unless there shall have been filed with the Partnership and recorded on the Partnership’s books a duly executed and acknowledged counterpart of the instrument effecting such assignment, and unless such instrument evidences the written acceptance by the assignee of all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, contains a representation that such assignment was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations (including any investor suitability requirements) and in all other respects is satisfactory in form and substance to the General Partner.

(m) Any Limited Partner other than the Initial Limited Partner who shall assign all of his Limited Partnership Interests shall cease to be a Limited Partner of the Partnership, except that unless and until a Limited Partner is admitted in his place, such assigning Limited Partner shall retain the statutory rights and liabilities of an assignor of a limited partnership interest under the Act.

(n) An assignee of Limited Partnership Interests (other than a BUC Holder) may become a Limited Partner only if each of the following conditions is satisfied:

(i) the instrument of assignment sets forth the intentions of the assignor that the assignee succeed to the assignor’s Limited Partnership Interest in his place;

(ii) the assignee shall have fulfilled the requirements of Sections 7.03(b) and 12.03(b);

(iii) the assignee shall have paid all reasonable legal fees and filing costs incurred by the Partnership in connection with his substitution as a Limited Partner; and

(iv) the assignee shall have received the Consent of the General Partner, which Consent the General Partner may withhold in its sole discretion.

(o) This Agreement and the Certificate shall be amended as necessary to recognize the admission of any Limited Partners and shall be submitted in a timely manner for filing with the Delaware Secretary of State. Assignees of Limited Partnership Interests (other than a BUC Holder) shall be recognized as such, to the extent set forth in Section 7.03(b) or 7.03(d), as of the day on which the Partnership has received the instrument of assignment and all of the other conditions to the assignment are satisfied.

(p) An assignee of Limited Partnership Interests (other than a BUC Holder) who does not become a Limited Partner and who desires to make a further assignment of his Limited Partnership Interests shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Article VII to the same extent and in the same manner as a Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Limited Partnership Interests.

Section 7.04. Joint Ownership of Interests. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, a Limited Partnership Interest or BUC may be acquired by two or more Persons, who shall, at the time they acquire such Limited Partnership Interest or BUC, indicate to the Partnership whether the Limited Partnership Interest or BUC is being held by them as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, as tenants‑in‑common or as community property. In the absence of any such designation, joint owners shall be presumed to hold such Limited Partnership Interest or BUC as tenants‑in‑common. The Consent of such joint Limited Partners or BUC Holders shall not require the action or vote of all owners of any such jointly held Limited Partnership Interest or BUC.

ARTICLE VIII

(aa) The Partnership shall dissolve upon the happening of any of the following events:

(i) ninety days following the Incapacity of a General Partner who is at that time the sole General Partner, unless all of the remaining Partners (it being understood that, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, for purposes of this provision the Initial Limited Partner shall act solely in accordance with the direction of a majority in interest of the BUC Holders) agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and a successor General Partner satisfying the standards set forth in Section 6.02 is designated within 90 days of the occurrence of such an Incapacity;

(ii) the passage of 180 days after the repayment, sale or other disposition of all of the Mortgage Investments and Tax Exempt Investments and substantially all other assets, if any, held by the Partnership;

(iii) the election by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner voting on behalf of the BUC Holders) pursuant to Section 10.02(a)(iii) or the election by the General Partner to dissolve the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.04(e) with the Consent of a majority in interest of the Limited Partners thereto;

(iv) the expiration of the term of the Partnership specified in Section 2.04; or

(v) any other event causing the dissolution of the Partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(bb) Dissolution of the Partnership shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Partnership shall not terminate until a certificate of cancellation is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and the assets of the Partnership are distributed as provided in Section 8.02. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Partnership, prior to the termination of the Partnership, the business of the Partnership and the affairs of the Partners shall continue to be governed by this Agreement.

(cc) The obligations imposed on the General Partner by Article IX of the Agreement will cease upon the termination of the Partnership.

Section 8.02. Liquidation.

(q) Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless all of the Partners elect to reform the Partnership (it being understood that, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, for purposes of this provision the Initial Limited Partner shall act solely in accordance with the direction of a majority in interest of the BUC Holders), the General Partner shall liquidate the assets of the Partnership and shall apply and distribute the proceeds thereof as contemplated by this Section 8.02 and Article IV and cause the cancellation of the Certificate in accordance with the Act. If there is no General Partner, a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner voting on behalf of the BUC Holders) may elect a liquidator to liquidate the assets of the Partnership and perform the functions of the General Partner set forth in this Section 8.02.

(r) After payment of the expenses of the liquidation and of liabilities owing to creditors of the Partnership (including the repayment of any loans from the General Partner or its Affiliates), the General Partner may set aside as a reserve such amount as it deems reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership which may be paid over by the General Partner to a bank, to be held in escrow for the purpose of paying any such contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations, and, at the expiration of such period as the General Partner may deem advisable, the amount in such reserve shall be distributed in the manner set forth in Section 4.02(b) among the Partners and BUC Holders who would have been entitled to receive such amounts had such amounts not been placed in such reserves.

(s) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the General Partner or liquidator shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would cause undue loss to the Partners or the BUC Holders, the General Partner or liquidator may, after giving Notice to the Limited Partners and BUC Holders, and to the extent not then prohibited by any applicable law of any jurisdiction in which the Partnership is then formed or qualified, defer liquidation and withhold from distribution for a reasonable time any assets of the Partnership, except those assets necessary to satisfy the Partnership’s debts and obligations.

No Notice of the time, place or purpose of any meeting of Limited Partners and BUC Holders need be given (i) to any Limited Partner or BUC Holder who attends in person or is represented by proxy, except for a Partner attending a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or (ii) to any Limited Partner or BUC Holder entitled to such Notice who, in writing, executed and filed with the records of the meeting, either before or after the time thereof, waives such Notice.

ARTICLE XI

ASSIGNMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS TO
BUC HOLDERS AND RIGHTS OF BUC HOLDERS

Section 11.01. Assignment of Limited Partnership Interests to BUC Holders.

(g) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Initial Limited Partner, by the execution of this Agreement, irrevocably assigns to the Persons who are BUC Holders of the Prior Partnership as of the Merger Date, all of the Initial Limited Partner’s rights and interest in its Partnership Interest. The rights and interest so transferred and assigned shall include, without limitation, the following:

(i) all rights to receive distributions of Net Interest Income pursuant to Section 4.01;

(ii) all rights to receive Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to Section 4.02;

(iii) all rights in respect of allocations of Income and Loss pursuant to Sections 4.03 and 4.04;

(iv) all rights in respect of determinations of allocations and distributions pursuant to Section 4.05;

(v) all rights to inspect records and to receive reports pursuant to Article IX;

(vi) all rights to vote on Partnership matters pursuant to Article X; and

(vii) all rights which Limited Partners have, or may have in the future, under the Act, except as otherwise provided herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership may issue additional BUCs from time to time as determined by the General Partner, in which case the foregoing assignment will be deemed to include an assignment to the holders of such additional BUCs and such additional BUCs shall participate in the rights and interest of the Initial Limited Partner to the same extent as the BUCs existing on the Merger Date. All Persons becoming BUC Holders shall be bound by the terms and conditions of, and shall be entitled to all rights of, Limited Partners under this Agreement.

(h) The Initial Limited Partner shall remain as Initial Limited Partner on the books and records of the Partnership notwithstanding the assignment of all of its Limited Partnership Interest until such time as the Initial Limited Partner transfers its position as Initial Limited Partner to another Person with the Consent of the General Partner. Other than pursuant to Section 11.01(a), the Initial Limited Partner may not transfer or assign a Limited Partnership Interest without the prior written Consent of the General Partner.

(i) The General Partner, by the execution of this Agreement, irrevocably Consents to and acknowledges on behalf of itself and the Partnership that (i) the foregoing assignment pursuant to Section 11.01(a) by the Initial Limited Partner to the BUC Holders of the Initial Limited Partner’s rights and interest in the Limited Partnership Interests is valid and binding on the Partnership and the General Partner, and (ii) the BUC Holders are intended to be third‑party beneficiaries of all rights and privileges of the Initial Limited Partner in respect of the

Limited Partnership Interests. The General Partner covenants and agrees that, in accordance with the foregoing transfer and assignment, all the Initial Limited Partner’s rights and privileges in respect of the Limited Partnership Interests assigned to the BUC Holders may be exercised by the BUC Holders, including, without limitation, those listed in Section 11.01(a).

Section 11.02. Rights of BUC Holders.

(a) Limited Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner but only with respect to its own Limited Partnership Interests) and BUC Holders shall share pari passu on the basis of one Limited Partnership Interest for one BUC, and shall be considered as a single class with respect to all rights to receive distributions of Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, allocations of Income and Loss, and other determinations of allocations and distributions pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Limited Partners (including the Initial Limited Partner voting on behalf of the BUC Holders) shall vote on all matters in respect of which they are entitled to vote (either in person, by proxy or by written Consent), as a single class with each entitled to one vote.

(c) A BUC Holder is entitled to the same duty (including any fiduciary duty created by law) from the General Partner as the General Partner owes to a Limited Partner and may xxx the General Partner to enforce the same. A BUC Holder may bring a derivative action against any Person (including the General Partner) to enforce any right of the Partnership to recover a judgment to the same extent as a Limited Partner has such a right under the Act.

(d) A BUC Holder is not a Limited Partner and has no right to be admitted to the Partnership as such.

Section 11.03. Voting by the Initial Limited Partner on Behalf of BUC Holders.

(c) Subject to Section 8.01(a)(i), the Initial Limited Partner hereby agrees that, with respect to any matter on which a vote of the Limited Partners is taken, the Consent of the Limited Partners is required or any other action of the Limited Partners is required or permitted, it will not vote its Limited Partnership Interest or grant such Consent or take such action (other than solely administrative actions as to which the Initial Limited Partner has no discretion) except for the sole benefit of, and in accordance with the written instructions of, the BUC Holders with respect to their BUCs. The Initial Limited Partner (or the Partnership on behalf of the Initial Limited Partner) will provide Notice to the BUC Holders containing information regarding any matters to be voted upon or as to which any Consent or other action is requested or proposed. The Partnership and the General Partner hereby agree to permit BUC Holders to attend any meetings of Partners and the Initial Limited Partner shall, upon the written request of BUC Holders owning BUCs which represent in the aggregate 10% or more of all of the outstanding BUCs, request the General Partner to call a meeting of Partners pursuant to Section 10.01 or to submit a matter to the Initial Limited Partner without a meeting pursuant to this Agreement. The General Partner shall give the BUC Holders Notice of any meeting to be held pursuant to Section 10.01(a) at the same time and manner as such Notice is required to be given to the Initial Limited Partner pursuant to Section 10.01(b).

(d) The Initial Limited Partner will exercise its right to vote or Consent to any action under this Agreement in accordance with the written instructions of holders of BUCs outstanding as of the relevant record date. In addition, holders of a majority of the BUCs outstanding may instruct the Initial Limited Partner to take, and upon receipt of such instruction, the Initial Limited Partner shall take, the actions permitted by Section 10.02.

(e) The Initial Limited Partner will mail to any BUC Holder (at the address shown on the Partnership’s records kept in accordance with Section 9.01(a)) any report, financial statement or other communication received from the Partnership or the General Partner with respect to the Limited Partnership Interests held by the Initial Limited Partner (including, without limitation, any financial statement or report or tax information provided pursuant to Section 9.03). In lieu of mailing of any such document by the Initial Limited Partner, the Initial Limited Partner may, at its option, request the General Partner to mail any such communications directly to the BUC Holders, and the Initial Limited Partner shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Section 11.03(b) upon its receipt of written notification from the General Partner that any such communication has been mailed, postage prepaid, to all of the BUC Holders at the addresses shown on the Partnership’s records.

Section 11.04. Preservation of Tax Status. With the Consent of each BUC Holder so affected, the General Partner may at any time cause such BUC Holder to become a Limited Partner and may take such other action with respect

to the manner in which BUCs are being or may be transferred or traded as it may deem necessary or appropriate, in order to preserve the status of the Partnership as a partnership rather than an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or to insure that BUC Holders will be treated as limited partners for federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

(i) the Certificate and amendments thereto, and all certificates and other instruments (including counterparts of this Agreement), and any amendments thereof, which any such Person deems appropriate to form, qualify or continue the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the Limited Partners will have limited liability comparable to that provided by the Act on the date thereof) in a jurisdiction in which the Partnership may conduct business or in which such formation, qualification or continuation is, in the opinion of any such Person, necessary to protect the limited liability of the Limited Partners and BUC Holders;

right or power granted to the General Partner in this Agreement; (ii) to cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement which may be inconsistent with the manifest intent of this Agreement, if such amendment is not materially adverse to the interests of Limited Partners and BUC Holders in the sole judgment of the General Partner; (iii) to delete or add to any provision of this Agreement required to be deleted or added to based upon comments by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other federal agency or by a state securities commissioner; (iv) to delete, add or revise any provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate, in the General Partner’s judgment, to insure that the Partnership will be treated as a partnership, and that each BUC Holder and each Limited Partner will be treated as a limited partner, for federal income tax purposes; (v) to reflect the withdrawal, removal or admission of Partners; and (vi) to reflect a change in the name or address of the Partnership’s registered agent in the State of Delaware; provided, however, that no amendment shall be adopted pursuant to this Section 12.03(a) unless the adoption thereof (A) is consistent with Section 5.01 and is not prohibited by Section 5.04; (B) does not affect the distribution of Net Interest Income, Net Residual Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or the allocation of Income or Loss (except as provided in Section 5.10); (C) does not, in the sole judgment of the General Partner after consultation with Counsel, affect the limited liability of the Limited Partners or the BUC Holders or cause the Partnership not to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes; and (D) does not amend this Section 12.03(a).

(e) If this Agreement shall be amended as a result of substituting a Limited Partner, the amendment to this Agreement shall be signed by the General Partner, the Person to be substituted and the assigning Limited Partner.
