the funds available in Sections 7.2 (b)(1), (2), (3) and/or (4) then the
shortfall will be paid by the General Partner to the Limited Partner and Class A
Special Limited Partner within 90 days of the General Partner's receipt of a
notice from the Limited Partner or Class A Special Limited Partner. If there is
to be an increase in the Capital Contribution payment as referenced in this
Section 7.4 (a), then the increase will be paid by the Limited Partner and the
21
Class A Special Limited Partner to the General Partner within 90 days of the
Limited Partner's and the Class A Special Limited Partner's receipt of a notice
from the General Partner.
(b) The General Partner is required to use its best efforts to rent
100% of the Project's apartment units to Qualified Tenants throughout the
Compliance Period. If at the end of each calendar year during the first five
calendar years following the year in which the Project is placed in service, the
Actual Tax Credit for any fiscal year or portion thereof is or will be less than
the 95% of Projected Annual Tax Credit, or the Revised Projected Tax Credit
calculated on an annual basis ("Revised Projected Annual Tax Credit"), if
applicable (the "Annual Credit Shortfall"), then, unless the Annual Credit
Shortfall shall have previously been addressed under Section 7.4(a) or 7.4(d),
the next payment referenced in either section 7.2 (b) (1), (2), (3) and/or (4)
shall be reduced by the Annual Credit Shortfall amount, and any portion of such
Annual Credit Shortfall in excess of such payment shall be applied to reduce
succeeding payments. If the Annual Credit Shortfall is greater than the
remaining payments in Section 7.2 (b) (1), (2), (3) and/or (4) then the General
Partner shall pay to the Limited Partner and Class A Special Limited Partner the
excess of the Annual Credit Shortfall. The General Partner shall have ninety
days to pay the Annual Credit Shortfall from the date the General Partner
receives notice from either the Limited Partner or the Class A Special Limited
Partner.
(c) In the event that, for any reason, at any time after the first five
calendar years following the year in which the Project is placed in service,
there is an Annual Credit Shortfall, then, unless the Annual Credit Shortfall
shall have previously been addressed under Section 7.4(a) or Section 7.4(b),
there shall be a reduction in the General Partner's share of Net Operating
Income in an amount equal to the Annual Credit Shortfall and said amount instead
shall be paid to the Limited Partner. In the event there are not sufficient
funds to pay the full Annual Credit Shortfall to the Limited Partner at the time
of the next Distribution of Net Operating Income, then the unpaid Annual Credit
Shortfall shall be repaid in the next year in which sufficient monies are
available from the General Partner's Net Operating Income. In the event a Sale
or Refinancing of the Project occurs prior to repayment in full of the Annual
Credit Shortfall then the excess will be paid in accordance with Section
11.2(b).
(d) The General Partner has represented, in part, that the Limited
Partner will receive Actual Credits of $69,019 for 2000. In the event the 2000
Actual Tax Credits are less than 95% of $69,019 then the Limited Partner's
Capital Contribution shall be reduced by an amount equal to 65% times the
difference between 95% of $69,019 and the Actual Tax Credits for 2000. If, at
the time of determination thereof, the Capital Contribution adjustment
referenced in this Section 7.4(d) is greater than the balance of the Limited
22
Partner's or Class A Special Limited Partner's Capital Contribution payment
which is then due, if any, then the Capital Contribution reduction amount shall
be paid by the General Partner to the Limited Partner and/or the Class A Special
Limited Partner within ninety days of the General Partner receiving notice of
the reduction from the Limited Partners and/or the Class A Special Limited
Partner.
(e) The Partners recognize and acknowledge that the Limited Partner and
the Class A Special Limited Partner are making their Capital Contribution, in
part, on the expectation that the Projected Tax Credits are allocated to the
Partners over the Tax Credit Period. If the Projected Tax Credits are not
allocated to the Partners during the Tax Credit Period then the Limited
Partner's and Class A Special Limited Partner's Capital Contribution shall be
reduced by an amount agreed upon by the Partners, in good faith, to provide the
Limited Partner and the Class A Special Limited Partner with their anticipated
internal rate of return.
(f) In the event there is a reduction in the qualified basis of the
Project for income tax purposes following an audit by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) resulting in a recapture of Tax Credits previously claimed, then,
in addition to any other payments to which the Limited Partner and Class A
Special Limited Partner are entitled under the terms of this Section 7.4, the
General Partner shall pay to the Limited Partner and the Class A Special Limited
Partner the sum of (1) the deficiency assessed against the Limited Partner or
Class A Special Limited Partner as a result of the Tax Credit recapture, (2) any
interest and penalties imposed on the Limited Partner or Class A Special Limited
Partner with respect to such deficiency, and (3) an amount sufficient to pay any
tax liability owed by the Limited Partner or Class A Special Limited Partner
resulting from the receipt of the amounts specified in (1) and (2).
(g) (1) In the event that the Class B Special Limited Partner's
Interest in the Missouri Tax Credits is different than $1,637,810, then the
Capital Contribution provided in Section 7.2 shall be adjusted by the amount
which will make the total Capital Contribution to be paid by the Class B Special
Limited Partner equal to 25% of the total Missouri Tax Credits allocable to the
Class B Special Limited Partner. In the event that there is a payment to the
Class B Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 7.4 (g), Projected
Missouri Tax Credits shall be referenced to as Revised Projected Missouri Tax
Credits. In the event that there is a reduction in the Capital Contribution of
the Class B Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 7.4 (g), the amount
of the reduction shall be paid by the General Partner to the Class B Special
Limited Partner within ninety days of the determination of the amount of the
reduction. In the event that there is an increase in the Capital Contribution of
the Class B Special Limited Partner pursuant to the Section 7.4 (g), the
additional Capital Contribution shall be paid by the Class B Special Limited
23
Partner within ninety days of notification from the Partnership to the Class B
Special Limited Partner. If at any time the Accountants determine that the
Missouri Tax Credits for any fiscal year are less than the Projected Missouri
Tax Credits or the Revised Projected Missouri Tax Credits, as applicable, then
the Partnership shall make a payment to the Class B Special Limited Partner in
the aggregate amount of the reduction within ninety days of notice of such
reduction. During the first five calendar years of Partnership operations, the
General Partner shall be obligated to provide such funds to the Partnership as
shall be necessary to cause the aforesaid payment to be made by the Partnership
to the Class B Special Limited Partner.
(h) Anything in this Section 7.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, there
shall be no adjustment in the Limited Partner's Capital Contribution resulting
from Actual Tax Credits allocated to the Limited Partner being less than
Projected Tax Credits, or in the Class B Special Limited Partner's Capital
Contribution resulting from Missouri Tax Credits allocated to the Class B
Special Limited Partner being less than Projected Missouri Tax Credits, if such
shortfall is a result of any of the following:
(1) Repeal, amendment or modification to Section 42
of the Code or the regulations thereunder or repeal amendment or
modification of Sections 135.350 et. seq. Missouri Revised Statutes; and
(2) Reduction in eligible basis resulting from MHDC's denial
to rebuild the Project after the occurrence of a cause beyond the control of the
Partnership, including, but not limited to, fire, windstorm, or other property
or casualty loss, or condemnation; and
(3) Determination that the Limited Partner is not eligible to
be allocated the Projected Tax Credits or the Class B Special Limited Partner is
not eligible to be allocated the Missouri Tax Credits for any reason, including,
but not limited to, application of the Code to the provisions of Article X of
the Partnership Agreement; and
(4) Any action or omission of the Limited Partner,
Class A Special Limited Partner or Class B Special Limited Partner.
Section 7.5 Capital Contribution of Class A Special Limited Partner.
The Class A Special Limited Partner shall make a Capital Contribution of $106
into the escrow in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, which funds will be
disbursed at the time of the Limited Partner's Capital Contribution payment
referenced in Section 7.2(b)(1) upon the same conditions. The Class A Special
Limited Partner shall be in a different class from the Limited Partner and,
except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, shall not participate in
any rights allocable to or exercisable by the Limited Partner under this
Agreement.
Section 7.6 Return of Capital Contribution. From time to time the
Partnership may have cash in excess of the amount required for the conduct of
24
the affairs of the Partnership, and the General Partner may, with the Consent of
the Class A Special Limited Partner, determine that such cash should, in whole
or in part, be returned to the Partners, pro rata, in reduction of their Capital
Contribution. No such return shall be made unless all liabilities of the
Partnership (except those to Partners on account of amounts credited to them
pursuant to this Agreement) have been paid or there remain assets of the
Partnership sufficient, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, to pay
such liabilities.
Section 7.7 Liability of Limited Partner, Class A Special Limited
Partner and Class B Special Limited Partner. The Limited Partner, Class A
Special Limited Partner and Class B Special Limited Partner shall not be liable
for any of the debts, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of the
Partnership. The Limited Partner, Class A Special Limited Partner and Class B
Special Limited Partner shall be liable only to make Capital Contributions in
the amounts and on the dates specified in this Agreement and, except as
otherwise expressly required hereunder, shall not be required to lend any funds
to the Partnership or, after their respective Capital Contributions have been
paid, to make any further Capital Contribution to the Partnership.

nonaffiliated Persons for comparable goods and services. Notwithstanding, the
"actual cost of goods and services" and "administrative services" includes a

amount which would be charged by nonaffiliated persons for comparable services.
(b) Reimbursement to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates of

9.8(b)(2), "controlling person" includes, but is not limited to, any Person,
however titled, who performs functions for the General Partner or any Affiliate
of the General Partner similar to those of: (i) chairman or member of the board
of directors; (ii) executive management, such as president, vice president or
senior vice president, corporate secretary or treasurer; (iii) senior

Partner or any such Affiliate of the General Partner, whether through the

limitation, the acquisition, development, construction, operation and management
of real estate projects and developments of every type on their own behalf or on

indirect competition with the Project. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner
shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship
created hereby in or to such other ventures or activities or to the income or
proceeds derived therefrom. Conversely, no Person shall have any rights to
Partnership assets, incomes or proceeds by virtue of such other ventures or
activities of any Partner.

adversely affected the ability of the General Partner to perform its obligations

General Partner or the Project only insofar as they or any of them are part of
the general public.

ARTICLE X
ALLOCATIONS OF INCOME, LOSSES AND CREDITS
Section 10.1 General. All items includable in the calculation of Income
or Loss not arising from a Sale or Refinancing, and all Tax Credits, shall be
allocated 99.89% to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Class A Special Limited
Partner, and 0.10% to the General Partner. Any and all Missouri Tax Credits
shall be allocated to the Class B Special Limited Partner. Missouri Tax Credits
are those Tax Credits under the State of Missouri Tax Code deductible from
income tax, otherwise payable to the State of Missouri.
Section 10.2 Allocations From Sale or Refinancing. All Income and
Losses arising from a Sale or Refinancing shall be allocated between the
Partners as follows:
(a) As to Income:
(1) first, an amount of Income equal to the aggregate negative
balances (if any) in the Capital Accounts of all Partners having negative
Capital Accounts (prior to taking into account the Sale or Refinancing and the
Distribution of the related Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, but after giving
effect to Distributions of Net Operating Income and allocations of other Income
and Losses pursuant to this Article X up to the date of the Sale or Refinancing)
shall be allocated to such Partners in proportion to their negative Capital
Account balances until all such Capital Accounts shall have zero balances;
(2) second, an amount of Income sufficient to increase the
Limited Partner's positive Capital Account balance to its Capital Contribution
and to increase the Class A Special Limited Partner's positive Capital Account
balance to an amount equal to its Capital Contribution, shall be allocated to
the Limited Partner and the Class A Special Limited Partner, respectively;
(3) third, an amount of Income sufficient to increase the
General Partner's positive Capital Account balance to an amount equal to its
Capital Contribution; and
38
(4) the balance, if any, of such Income shall be
allocated 50% to the Limited Partner .01% to the Class B Special Limited
Partner and 49.9% to the General Partner.
(b) As to Losses:
(1) an amount of Losses equal to the aggregate positive
balances (if any) in the Capital Accounts of all Partners having positive
Capital Accounts (prior to taking into account the Sale or Refinancing and the
Distribution of the related Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, but after giving
effect to Distributions of Net Operating Income and allocations of Income and
Losses pursuant to Section 10.1 up to the date of the Sale or Refinancing) shall
be allocated to such Partners in proportion to their positive Capital Account
balances until all such Capital Accounts shall have zero balances; and
(2) the balance of any such Losses shall be
allocated 99.89% to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Class A Special Limited
Partner and .10% to the General Partner.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 10.2(a) and
(b), in no event shall any Losses be allocated to the Limited Partner or the
Class A Special Limited Partner if and to the extent that such allocation would
create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for the Limited Partner
or the Class A Special Limited Partner. In the event an allocation of 99.89% or
.01% of each item includable in the calculation of Income or Loss not arising
from a Sale or Refinancing, would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit for the Limited Partner or the Class A Special Limited Partner,
respectively, then so much of the items of deduction other than projected
depreciation shall be allocated to the General Partner instead of the Limited
Partner or the Class A Special Limited Partner as is necessary to allow the
Limited Partner or the Class A Special Limited Partner to be allocated 99.89%
and .01%, respectively, of the items of Income and Project depreciation without
creating or increasing an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for the Limited
Partner or the Class A Special Limited Partner, it being the intent of the
parties that the Limited Partner and the Class A Special Limited Partner always
shall be allocated 99.89% and .01%, respectively, of the items of Income not
arising from a Sale or Refinancing and 99.89% and .01%, respectively, of the
Project depreciation.
Section 10.3 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall
be made in the following order.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury
Regulations, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article X, if there is
a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership fiscal year,
each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain
for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount
equal to such Person's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain,
39
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g).
Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto.
The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section
1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section
10.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in
Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the
Treasury Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X, if
there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to
a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership fiscal year, each Person who
has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such
Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of
the Treasury Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Partnership
income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal
years) in an amount equal to such Person's share of the net decrease in Partner
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt,
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4).
Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto.
The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections
1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section
10.3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith.
(c) In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments,
allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially
allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate,
to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation
pursuant to this Section 10.3(c) shall be made if and only to the extent that
such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other
allocations provided for in this Section 10.3 have been tentatively made as if
this Section 10.3(c) were not in the Agreement.
(d) In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end
of any Partnership fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount
such Partner is obligated to restore, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed
to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be
specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such
excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this
Section 10.3(d) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would
have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations
provided for in this Section 10.3 have been tentatively made as if this Section
10.3(d) and Section 10.3(c) hereof were not in the Agreement.
40
(e) Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially
allocated 99.89% to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Class A Special Limited
Partner, 0.01% to the Class B Special Limited Partner, and 0.10% to the General
Partner.
(f) Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be
specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with
respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(i)(1).
(g) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any
Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is
required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital
Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of
his interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital
Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the
basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such
gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in accordance with
their interests in the Partnership in the event that Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partner to whom such
distribution was made in the event that Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.
(h) To the extent the Partnership has taxable interest income
with respect to any promissory note pursuant to Section 483 or Section 1271
through 1288 of the Code:
(1) such interest income shall be specially allocated to the
Limited Partner to whom such promissory note relates; and
(2) the amount of such interest income shall be excluded from
the Capital Contributions credited to such Partner's Capital Account in
connection with payments of principal with respect to such promissory note.
(i) In the event the adjusted tax basis of any investment tax credit
property that has been placed in service by the Partnership is increased
pursuant to Code Section 50(c), such increase shall be specially allocated among
the Partners (as an item in the nature of income or gain) in the same
proportions as the investment tax credit that is recaptured with respect to such
property is shared among the Partners.
(j) Any reduction in the adjusted tax basis (or cost) of Partnership
investment tax credit property pursuant to Code Section 50(c) shall be specially
41
allocated among the Partners (as an item in the nature of expenses or losses) in
the same proportions as the basis (or cost) of such property is allocated
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i).
(k) Any income, gain, loss or deduction realized as a direct or
indirect result of the issuance of an interest in the Partnership by the
Partnership to a Partner (the "Issuance Items") shall be allocated among the
Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such Issuance Items,
together with all other allocations under this Agreement to each Partner, shall
be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner
if the Issuance Items had not been realized.
(l) If any Partnership expenditure treated as a deduction on its
federal income tax return is disallowed as a deduction and treated as a
distribution pursuant to Section 731(a) of the Code, there shall be a special
allocation of gross income to the Partner deemed to have received such
distribution equal to the amount of such distribution.
(m) The allocation to the General Partner of each material item of
Partnership income, loss, deduction or credit will not be less than 1% of each
such item at all times during the existence of the Partnership.
(n) Interest deduction on the Partnership indebtedness referred to in
Section 6.3 shall be allocated 100% to the General Partner.
Section 10.4 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in
Sections 10.2(c), 10.3(a), 10.3(b), 10.3(c), 10.3(d), 10.3(e), 10.3(f), and
10.3(g) hereof (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with
certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the
Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be
offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of
other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this
Section 10.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X
(other than the Regulatory Allocations), with the Consent of the Class A Special
Limited Partner, the General Partner shall make such offsetting special
allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner
the General Partner, with the Consent of the Class A Special Limited Partner,
determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each
Partner's Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the
Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory
Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Partnership items were
allocated pursuant to Sections 10.1, 10.2(a), 10.2(b), 10.3(h), 10.3(i),
10.3(j), 10.3(k), 10.3(l), 10.3(m), 10.3(n) and 10.5. In exercising its
authority under this Section 10.4, the General Partner shall take into account
future Regulatory Allocations under Section 10.3(a) and 10.3(b) that, although
not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made
under Sections 10.3(e) and 10.3(f).
42
Section 10.5 Other Allocation Rules.
(a) The basis (or cost) of any Partnership investment tax credit
property shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i). All Tax Credits (other than the investment
tax credit) shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with applicable
law. Consistent with the foregoing, the Partners intend that LIHTC will be
allocated 99.89% to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Class A Special Limited
Partner, and .10% to the General Partner.
(b) In the event Partnership investment tax credit property is disposed
of during any taxable year, profits for such taxable year (and, to the extent
such profits are insufficient, profits for subsequent taxable years) in an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the reduction in the adjusted tax
basis (or cost) of such property pursuant to Code Section 50(c), over (2) any
increase in the adjusted tax basis of such property pursuant to Code Section
50(c) caused by the disposition of such property, shall be excluded from the
profits allocated pursuant to Section 10.1 and Section 10.2(a) hereof and shall
instead be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective shares
of such excess, determined pursuant to Section 10.3(i) and 10.3(j) hereof. In
the event more than one item of such property is disposed of by the Partnership,
the foregoing sentence shall apply to such items in the order in which they are
disposed of by the Partnership, so the profits equal to the entire amount of
such excess with respect to the first such property disposed of shall be
allocated prior to any allocations with respect to the second such property
disposed of, and so forth.
(c) For purposes of determining the Income, Losses, or any other items
allocable to any period, Income, Losses, and any such other items shall be
determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General
Partner with the Consent of the Class A Special Limited Partner, using any
permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder.
(d) Solely for purposes of determining a Partner's proportionate share
of the "excess nonrecourse liabilities" of the Partnership within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners' interests in
Partnership profits are as follows: Limited Partner: 99.89%; Class A Special
Limited Partner: 0.01%; General Partner: 0.10%.
(e) To the extent permitted by Section 1.704-2(h)(3) of the Treasury
Regulations, the General Partner shall endeavor to treat Distributions as having
been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Partner Nonrecourse
Debt only to the extent that such Distributions would cause or increase an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Partner who is not a General Partner.
43
(f) Tax Credits shall be allocated 99.89% to the Limited Partner, 0.01%
to the Class A Special Limited Partner, and 0.10% to the General Partner. In the
event there occurs a recapture of Tax Credits previously allocated to the
Partners, the responsibility for the recapture of such Tax Credits shall be
allocated in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations; namely, to the Partners (if permitted by applicable law) who are or
are deemed to be Partners in the year in which such recapture occurs, in
accordance with their interests in the losses of the Partnership for that year.
Missouri Tax Credits shall be allocated 100% to the Class B Special Limited
Partner, which Class B Special Limited Partner also shall be allocated 100% of
any recapture of Missouri Tax Credits.
Section 10.6 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with
Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss,
and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the
Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so
as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property
to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset
Value (computed in accordance with Section 1.31(a) hereof).
In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted
pursuant to Section 1.31(b) hereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain,
loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any
variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax
purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section
704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be
made by the General Partner with the Consent of the Class A Special Limited
Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this
Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 10.6 are solely for purposes of
federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken
into account in computing, any Person's Capital Account or share of Income,
Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement.
Section 10.7 Allocation Among Limited Partners. In the event that the
Interest of the Limited Partner hereunder is at any time held by more than one
Limited Partner all items which are specifically allocated to the Limited
Partner for any month pursuant to this Article X shall be apportioned among such
Persons according to the ratio of their respective profit-sharing interests in
the Partnership at the last day of such month.
Section 10.8 Allocation Among General Partners. In the event that the
Interest of the General Partner hereunder is at any time held by more than one
General Partner all items which are specifically allocated to the General
Partner for any month pursuant to this Article X shall be apportioned among such
44
Persons in such percentages as may from time to time be determined by agreement
among them without amendment to this Agreement or consent of the Limited Partner
or Consent of the Class A Special Limited Partner.
Section 10.9 Modification of Allocations. The provisions of Articles X
and XI and other provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704 and shall be interpreted and applied in a
manner consistent with such section of the Treasury Regulations. In the event
that the General Partner determines, in its sole discretion, that it is prudent
to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts of the Partners, or any debit
or credit thereto, are computed in order to comply with such section of the
Treasury Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification, but only
with the Consent of the Class A Special Limited Partner, to the minimum extent
necessary, to effect the plan of allocations and Distributions provided for
elsewhere in this Agreement. Further, the General Partner shall make any
appropriate modifications, but only with the Consent of the Class A Special
Limited Partner, in the event it appears that unanticipated events (e.g., the
existence of a Partnership election pursuant to Code Section 754) might
otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulation Section
1.704.
ARTICLE XI

Section 12.1 Assignment of Limited Partner's Interest. The Limited
Partner, Class A Special Limited Partner, and Class B Special Limited Partner
shall not have the right to assign all or any part of their respective Interests
to any other Person, whether or not a Partner, except upon satisfaction of each
of the following:

General Partner and its counsel, setting forth the name and address of the

Partnership attributable to the Interest acquired by reason of any permitted
assignment from and after the first day of the calendar month following the

(b) Written notice of the removal for cause of the General Partner
shall be served by the Class A Special Limited Partner or the Limited Partner,
or both of them, upon the General Partner either by certified or by registered
mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service. Such notice shall set
forth the reasons for the removal, if any, shall provide the General Partner
thirty (30) days to cure the reason for removal and set forth the date upon
which the removal is to become effective in the event such cure is not effected.
(c) Upon receipt of such notice of removal for cause, the General
Partner shall cause an accounting to be prepared covering the transactions of
the Partnership from the end of the previous fiscal year through the date of
receipt of such notice, and thereafter it shall not sell or dispose of
Partnership assets under any circumstances. The accounting shall be completed by
the effective date of the removal and shall be in sufficient detail to
accurately and fully reflect the earnings or losses for the period and the
financial condition of the Partnership. If the General Partner fails to cause
the accounting to be prepared within 30 days of receipt of the notice of removal
for cause then the Limited Partner may cause the accounting to be prepared. The
expenses of the accounting shall be borne by the General Partner.
Section 13.3 Effects of a Withdrawal. In the event of a Withdrawal, the
entire Interest of the Withdrawing General Partner shall immediately and
automatically terminate on the effective date of such Withdrawal, and such
General Partner shall immediately cease to be a General Partner, shall have no
further right to participate in the management or operation of the Partnership
or the Project or to receive any allocations or Distributions from the
Partnership or any other funds or assets of the Partnership, except as
specifically set forth below. In the event of a Withdrawal, any or all executory
contracts, including but not limited to the Management Agreement, between the
Partnership and the Withdrawing General Partner or its Affiliates may be
terminated by the Partnership, with the Consent of the Class A Special Limited
Partner, upon written notice to the party so terminated.
Furthermore, notwithstanding such Withdrawal, the Withdrawing General
Partner shall be and shall remain, liable as a General Partner for all
liabilities and obligations incurred by the Partnership or by the General
Partner prior to the effective date of the Withdrawal, or which may arise upon
such Withdrawal. Any remaining Partner shall have all other rights and remedies
50
against the Withdrawing General Partner as provided by law or under this
Agreement.
The General Partner agrees that in the event of its Withdrawal it will
indemnify and hold the Limited Partner and the Class A Special Limited Partner
harmless from and against all losses, costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the Withdrawal, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other
expenses of the Limited Partner and the Class A Special Limited Partner in
connection with the transaction.
The following additional provisions shall apply in the event of a
Withdrawal.
(a) In the event of a Withdrawal which is not an Involuntary
Withdrawal, the Withdrawing General Partner shall have no further right to
receive any future allocations or Distributions from the Partnership or any
other funds or assets of the Partnership, nor shall it be entitled to receive or
to be paid by the Partnership any further payments of fees (including fees which
have been earned but are unpaid) or to be paid any amount for its former
Interest. From and after the effective date of such Withdrawal, the former
rights of the Withdrawing General Partner to receive or to be paid such
allocations, Distributions, funds, assets, fees or repayments shall be assigned
to the other General Partner or General Partners (which may include the Class A
Special Limited Partner), or if there is no other general partner of the
Partnership at that time, to the Class A Special Limited Partner.
(b) In the event of an Involuntary Withdrawal, except as provided in
Section 13.3(b)(3) below, the Withdrawing General Partner shall have no further
right to receive any future allocations or Distributions from the Partnership or
any other funds or assets of the Partnership, provided that accrued and payable
fees (i.e., fees earned but unpaid as of the date of Withdrawal) owed to the
Withdrawing General Partner, and any outstanding loans of the Withdrawing
General Partner to the Partnership, shall be paid to the Withdrawing General
Partner in the manner and at the times such fees and loans would have been paid
had the Withdrawing General Partner not Withdrawn. The Interest of the General
Partner shall be purchased as follows.
(1) If the Involuntary Withdrawal arises from removal for
cause as set forth in Section 13.2(a) hereof, the Withdrawn General Partner
shall be entitled to receive as its sole compensation for its Interest in the
Partnership an amount equal to its positive Capital Account balance determined
as of the effective date of the removal, if any, payable upon the dissolution
and termination of the Partnership after all of the Partners have been
distributed the positive balances in their Capital Accounts.
(2) If the Involuntary Withdrawal does not arise from removal
for cause under Section 13.2(a) hereof, and if the Partnership is to be
continued with one or more remaining or successor General Partner(s), the
51
Partnership, with the Consent of the Class A Special Limited Partner, may, but
is not obligated to, purchase the Interest of the Withdrawing General Partner in
Partnership allocations, Distributions and capital. The purchase price of such
Interest shall be its Fair Market Value as determined by agreement between the
Withdrawing General Partner and the Class A Special Limited Partner, or, if they
cannot agree, by arbitration in accordance with the then current rules of the
American Arbitration Association. The cost of such arbitration shall be borne
equally by the Withdrawing General Partner and the Partnership. The purchase
price shall be paid by the Partnership by delivering to the General Partner or
its representative the Partnership's non-interest bearing unsecured promissory
note payable, if at all, upon liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with
Section 11.2(b). The note shall also provide that the Partnership may prepay all
or any part thereof without penalty.
(3) If the Involuntary Withdrawal does not arise from removal
for cause under Section 13.2(a) hereof, and if the Partnership is to be
continued with one or more remaining or successor General Partner(s), and if the
Partnership does not purchase the Interest of the Withdrawing General Partner in
Partnership allocations, Distributions and capital, then the Withdrawing General
Partner shall retain its Interest in such items, but such Interest shall be held
as a Class A Special Limited Partner.
Section 13.4 Successor General Partner. Upon the occurrence of an event
giving rise to a Withdrawal of a General Partner, any remaining General Partner,
or, if there be no remaining General Partner, the Withdrawing General Partner or
its legal representative, shall promptly notify the Class A Special Limited
Partner of such Withdrawal (the "Withdrawal Notice"). Whether or not the
Withdrawal Notice shall have been sent as provided herein, the Class A Special
Limited Partner shall have the right to become a successor General Partner (and
to become the successor managing General Partner if the Withdrawing General
Partner was previously the managing General Partner). In order to effectuate the
provisions of this Section 13.4 and the continuance of the Partnership, the
Withdrawal of a General Partner shall not be effective until the expiration of
120 days from the date on which occurred the event giving rise to the
Withdrawal, unless the Class A Special Limited Partner shall have elected to
become a successor General Partner as provided herein prior to expiration of
such 120-day period, whereupon the Withdrawal of the General Partner shall be
deemed effective upon the notification of all the other Partners by the Class A
Special Limited Partner of such election.
Section 13.5 Admission of Additional or Successor General Partner. No
Person shall be admitted as an additional or successor General Partner unless
(a) such Person shall have agreed to become a General Partner by a written
instrument which shall include the acceptance and adoption of this Agreement;
(b) the Consent of the Class A Special Limited Partner to the admission of such
52
Person as a substitute General Partner, which consent may be withheld in the
discretion of the Class A Special Limited Partner, shall have been given; and
(c) such Person shall have executed and acknowledged any other instruments which
the Class A Special Limited Partner shall reasonably deem necessary or
appropriate to affect the admission of such Person as a substitute General
Partner. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied, this Agreement shall be
amended in accordance with the provisions of the Act, and all other steps shall
be taken which are reasonably necessary to effect the Withdrawal of the
Withdrawing General Partner and the substitution of the successor General
Partner. Nothing contained herein shall reduce the Limited Partner's Interest or
the Class A Special Limited Partner's Interest in the Partnership.
Section 13.6 Transfer of Interest. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the General Partner may not Withdraw from the Partnership, or enter into any
agreement as the result of which any Person shall become interested in the
Partnership, without the Consent of the Class A Special Limited Partner.
Section 13.7 No Goodwill Value. At no time during continuation of the
Partnership shall any value ever be placed on the Partnership name, or the right
to its use, or to the goodwill appertaining to the Partnership or its business,
either as among the Partners or for the purpose of determining the value of any
Interest, nor shall the legal representatives of any Partner have any right to
claim any such value. In the event of a termination and dissolution of the
Partnership as provided in this Agreement, neither the Partnership name, nor the
right to its use, nor the same goodwill, if any, shall be considered as an asset
of the Partnership, and no valuation shall be put thereon for the purpose of
liquidation or distribution, or for any other purpose whatsoever.

AND LIQUIDATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
Section 15.1 Dissolution of Partnership. The Partnership shall be dissolved
upon the expiration of its term or the earlier occurrence of any of the
following events.
(a) The effective date of the Withdrawal or removal of the General
Partner, unless (1) at the time there is at least one other General Partner
(which may be the Class A Special Limited Partner if it elects to serve as
successor General Partner under Section 13.4 hereof) who will continue as
General Partner, or (2) within 120 days after the occurrence of any such event
the Limited Partner elects to continue the business of the Partnership.
(b) The sale of the Project and the receipt in cash of the full amount
of the proceeds of such sale.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the
Partnership terminate prior to the expiration of its term if such termination
would result in a violation of the Mortgage or any other agreement with or rule
or regulation of MHDC to which the Partnership is subject.
Section 15.2 Return of Capital Contribution upon Dissolution. Except as
provided in Sections 7.3 and 7.4 of this Agreement, which provide for a
reduction or refund of the Limited Partner's Capital Contribution under certain
circumstances, and which shall represent the personal obligation of the General
Partner, as well as the obligation of the Partnership, each Partner shall look
solely to the assets of the Partnership for all Distributions with respect to
the Partnership (including the return of its Capital Contribution) and shall
have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any General
Partner. No Partner shall have any right to demand property other than money
upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership, and the Partnership is
prohibited from such a distribution of property absent the Consent of the Class
A Special Limited Partner.
58
Section 15.3 Distributions of Assets. Upon a dissolution of the
Partnership, the General Partner (or, if there is no General Partner then
remaining, such other Person(s) designated as the liquidator of the Partnership
by the Class A Special Limited Partner or by the court in a judicial
dissolution) shall take full account of the Partnership assets and liabilities
and shall liquidate the assets as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the
fair value thereof.
(a) Upon dissolution and termination, after payment of, or adequate
provision for, the debts and obligations of the Partnership pursuant to Section
11.2(a) through and including 11.2(c), the remaining assets of the Partnership
shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 11.2, after
taking into account all allocations under Article X hereof.
(b) In the event that a General Partner has a deficit balance in its
Capital Account following the liquidation of the Partnership or its Interest, as
determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the
Partnership's taxable year in which such liquidation occurs, such General
Partner shall pay to the Partnership the lesser of: (1) the amount necessary to
restore such deficit balance to zero in compliance with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3); and (2) 1.01% of the Capital Contributions less
any prior Capital Contributions made by the General Partner.
The deficit make-up shall be paid by the General Partner by the end of
such taxable year and shall, upon liquidation of the Partnership, be paid to
creditors of the Partnership or distributed to other Partners in accordance with
their positive Capital Account balances. Notwithstanding, if the Class A Special
Limited Partner has become successor General Partner, it shall not be
responsible for any deficit balance in its Capital Account which arose during
the time the former General Partner served as General Partner.
(c) With respect to assets distributed in kind to the Partners in
liquidation or otherwise:
(1) unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation in the
values of such assets shall be deemed to be Income and Losses realized by the
Partnership immediately prior to the liquidation or other Distribution event;
and
(2) such Income and Losses shall be allocated to the Partners
in accordance with Section 10.2 hereof, 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.
(d) For the purposes of Section 15.3(c), "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
59
associated financing but subject to Section 7701(g) of the Code, and the
Partnership's adjusted basis in such assets for book purposes. Section 15.3(c)
is merely intended to provide a rule for allocating unrealized Income and Losses
upon liquidation or other Distribution event, and nothing contained in Section
15.3(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement 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 independent appraiser to be selected by the
General Partner with the Consent of the Class A Special Limited Partner.
Section 15.4 Deferral of Liquidation. If at the time of liquidation the
General Partner or other liquidator shall determine that an immediate sale of
part or all of the Partnership assets could cause undue loss to the Partners,
the liquidator may, in order to avoid loss, but only with the Consent of the
Class A Special Limited Partner, either defer liquidation and retain all or a
portion of the assets or distribute all or a portion of the assets to the
Partners in kind. In the event that the liquidator elects to distribute such
assets in kind, the assets shall first be assigned a value (by appraisal by an
independent appraiser) and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation in value
of the assets shall be allocated to the Partners' Capital Accounts, as if such
assets had been sold, in the manner described in Section 10.2, and such assets
shall then be distributed to the Partners as provided herein. In applying the
preceding sentence, the Project shall not be assigned a value less than the
unamortized principal balance of any loan secured thereby.
Section 15.5 Liquidation Statement. Each of the Partners shall be
furnished with a statement prepared or caused to be prepared by the General
Partner or other liquidator, which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of
the Partnership as of the date of complete liquidation. Upon compliance with the
distribution plan as outlined in Sections 15.3 and 15.4, the Limited Partner and
Class A Special Limited Partner shall cease to be such and the General Partner
shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed those certificates referenced
in Section 15.6.
Section 15.6 Certificates of Dissolution; Certificate of Cancellation of
Certificate of Limited Partnership.
(a) Upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall
cause to be filed in the office of, and on a form prescribed by the Secretary of
State of the State, a certificate of dissolution. The certificate of dissolution
shall set forth the Partnership's name, the Secretary of State's file number for
the Partnership, the event causing the Partnership's dissolution and the date of
the dissolution.
(b) Upon the completion of the winding up of the Partnership's affairs,
the General Partner shall cause to be filed in the office of, and on a form
prescribed by, the Secretary of State of the State, a certificate of
cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership. The certificate of
60
cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership shall set forth the
Partnership's name, the Secretary of State's file number for the Partnership,
and any other information which the General Partner determines to include
therein.

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, Series 6
c/o WNC & Associates, Inc.
0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000
Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000
RE: Desloge Associates I, L.P.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion with respect to certain matters in
connection with the investment by WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, Series 6, a
California limited partnership (the "Limited Partner") in Desloge Associates I,
L.P. (the "Partnership"), a Missouri limited partnership formed to own, develop,
(construct/-rehabilitate) finance and operate an apartment complex for
low-income persons (the "Apartment Complex") in Missouri. The general partner(s)
of the Partnership (is/are) East Missouri Action Agency, Inc., a Missouri
Non-profit Corporation (the "General Partner(s)").
In rendering the opinions stated below, we have examined and relied
upon the following:
(i) [Certificate of Limited Partnership];
(ii) [Agreement of Limited Partnership] (the "Partnership
Agreement");
(iii) A preliminary reservation letter from [State
Allocating Agency] (the "State Agency") dated
_________, 199___ conditionally awarding
$_______________ in Federal tax credits annually for
each of ten years and $_______________ in California
tax credits annually for each of four years for the
Apartment Complex; and
(iv) Such other documents, records and instruments as we
have deemed necessary in order to enable us to render
the opinions referred to in this letter.
For purposes of rendering the opinions stated below we have assumed
that, in those cases in which we have not been involved directly in the
preparation, execution or the filing of a document, that (a) the document
reviewed by us is an original document, or a true and accurate copy of the
original document, and has not been subsequently amended, (b) the signatures on
each original document are genuine, and (c) each party who executed the document
had proper authority and capacity.
B-1
Based on the foregoing we are of the opinion that:
(a) ________________________, one of the General Partners, is a
[corporation/partnership] duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the
State of _____________________ and has full power and authority to enter into
and perform its obligations under the Partnership Agreement.
_____________________, one of the other General Partners, is a
[corporation/partnership] duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the
State of __________________ and has full power and authority to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Partnership Agreement.
(b) The Partnership is a limited partnership duly formed and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Missouri.
(c) The Partnership is validly existing under and subject to the laws
of Missouri with full power and authority to own, develop,
[construct/rehabilitate], finance and operate the Apartment Complex and to
otherwise conduct business under the Partnership Agreement.
(d) Execution of the Partnership Agreement by the General Partner(s)
has been duly and validly authorized by or on behalf of the General Partner(s)
and, having been executed and delivered in accordance with its terms, the
Partnership Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the General
Partner(s), enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(e) The execution and delivery of the Partnership Agreement by the
General Partner(s) does not conflict with and will not result in a breach of any
of the terms, provisions or conditions of any agreement or instrument known to
counsel to which any of the General Partner(s) or the Partnership is a party or
by which any of them may be bound, or any order, rule, or regulation to be
applicable to any of such parties of any court or governmental body or
administrative agency having jurisdiction over any of such parties or over the
property.
(f) To the best of counsel's knowledge, after due inquiry, there is no
litigation or governmental proceeding pending or threatened against, or
involving the Apartment Complex, the Partnership or any General Partner which
would materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or
business of the Apartment Complex, the Partnership or any of the Partners of the
Partnership.
(g) The Limited Partner and the Class A Special Limited Partner have
been admitted to the Partnership as limited partners of the Partnership under
__________ law and are entitled to all of the rights of limited partners under
B-2
the Partnership Agreement. Except as described in the Partnership Agreement, no
person is a partner of or has any legal or equitable interest in the
Partnership, and all former partners of record or known to counsel have validly
withdrawn from the Partnership and have released any claims against the
Partnership arising out of their participation as partners therein.
(h) Liability of the Limited Partner for obligations of the Partnership
is limited to the amount of the Limited Partner's capital contributions required
by the Partnership Agreement.
(i) Neither the General Partner(s) of the Partnership nor the Limited
Partner nor the Class A Special Limited Partner will have any liability for the
Mortgage represented thereby (as those terms are defined in the Partnership
Agreement, and the lender of the Mortgage Loan will look only to its security in
the Apartment Complex for repayment of the Mortgage Loan.
(j) The Partnership owns a fee simple interest in the Apartment
Complex.
(k) The nonprofit General Partner: (i) is described in paragraph (3) or
(4) of Section 501(c) and is exempt from tax under Section 501(a); (ii) is
determined by the State Agency not to be affiliated with or controlled by a
for-profit organization; and (iii) one of the exempt purposes of such non-profit
General Partner includes the fostering of low income housing.
(l) The non-profit General Partner owns an interest in the Project
(directly or through a partnership) and materially participates [within the
meaning of Section 469(h)] in the development and operation of the Project
throughout the tax credit compliance period.
(m) Not more than 90% of the State Agency's tax credit ceiling for the
calendar year in which the carryover allocation is issued and the calendar year
the Apartment Complex is places in service was allocated to projects other than
qualified low-income housing projects described in Internal Revenue Code Section
42(h)(5)(B).
(n) To the best of our actual knowledge and belief, after due inquiry,
the Partnership has obtained all consents, permissions, licenses, approvals, or
orders required by all applicable governmental or regulatory agencies for the
development, [construction/rehabilitation] and operation of the Apartment
Complex, and the Apartment Complex conforms to all applicable Federal, state and
local land use, zoning, health, building and safety laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations.
B-3
(o) The Apartment Complex has obtained a preliminary reservation of low
income housing tax credits ("LIHTC") from the State Agency. The final allocation
of the LIHTC and ultimately eligibility of the Apartment Complex for such final
allocation are subject to a series of requirements which must be met, performed
or achieved at various times prior to and after such final allocation. Assuming
all such requirements are met, performed or achieved at the time or times
provided by applicable laws and regulations, the Apartment Complex will qualify
for LIHTC.
All of the opinions set forth above are qualified to the extent that
the validity of any provision of any agreement may be subject to or affected by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally. We do not express any opinion as to
the availability of any equitable or specific remedy upon any breach of any of
the covenants, warranties or other provisions contained in any agreement. We
have not examined, and we express no opinion with respect to, the applicability
of, or liability under, any Federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation
governing or pertaining to environmental matters, hazardous wastes, toxic
substances or the like.
We express no opinion as to any matter except those set forth above.
These opinions are rendered for use by the Limited Partner and its legal counsel
which will rely on this opinion in connection with federal income tax opinions
to be rendered by that firm. This opinion may not be delivered to or relied upon
by any other person or entity without our express written consent.
Sincerely,

GUARANTY AGREEMENT
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, and in consideration of the agreement of Xxxxxxxx Development
Company, LLC, (the "Developer") to permit deferral of the $246,884 due from
Desloge Associates I, L.P. a Missouri limited partnership ("Debtor") to the
Developer, the undersigned Guarantor(s), hereby unconditionally guaranty the
full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise of that
certain Developer Fee from Debtor to the Developer, evidenced by the Development
Services Agreement dated October 1, 1998 incorporated herein by this reference.
The foregoing described debt is referred to hereinafter as the "Liabilities" or
"Liability."
The undersigned further agree to pay all expenses paid or incurred by
the Developer in endeavoring to collect the Liabilities, or any part thereof,
and in enforcing the Liabilities or this Guaranty Agreement (including
reasonable attorneys' fees if collected or enforced by law or through an
attorney-at-law). The undersigned hereby represent and warrant that the
extension of credit or other financial accommodations by the Developer to Debtor
will be to the interest and advantage of the undersigned, and acknowledge that
this Guaranty Agreement is a substantial inducement to the Developer to extend
credit to Debtor and that the Developer would not otherwise extend credit to
Debtor.
The Developer may, from time to time, without notice to or consent of
the undersigned, (a) retain or obtain a security interest in any property to
secure any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, (b) retain or obtain
the primary or secondary liability of any party or parties, in addition to the
undersigned, with respect to any of the Liabilities, (c) extend or renew for any
period (whether or not longer than the original period) or alter any of the
Liabilities, (d) release or compromise any Liability of the undersigned
hereunder or any Liability of any other party or parties primarily or
secondarily liable on any of the Liabilities, (e) release, compromise or
subordinate its title or security interest, or any part thereof, if any, in all
or any property now or hereafter securing any of the Liabilities or any
obligation hereunder, and permit any substitution or exchange for any such
property, and (f) resort to the undersigned for payment of any of the
Liabilities, whether or not the Developer shall have resorted to any property
securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder or shall have
preceded against any other party primarily or secondarily liable on any of the
Liabilities.
The undersigned hereby expressly waive: (a) notice of the existence or
creation of all or any of the Liabilities, (b) notice of any amendment or
modification of any of the instruments or documents evidencing or securing the
Liabilities, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor and protest, (d) all
diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Liabilities or
any thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for any of the foregoing,
and (e) the right to require the Developer to proceed against Debtor on any of
the Liabilities.
In the event any payment of Debtor to the Developer is held to
constitute a preference under the bankruptcy laws, or if for any other reason
the Developer is required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to
any other party, such payment by Debtor to the Developer shall not constitute a
release of Guarantor from any Liability hereunder, but Guarantor agrees to pay
such amount to the Developer upon demand and this Guaranty shall continue to be
effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, to the extent of any such
payment or payments.
1
No delay or failure on the part of the Developer in the exercise of any
right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial
exercise by the Developer of any right or remedy shall preclude other or future
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No action of the
Developer permitted hereunder shall in any way impair or affect this Guaranty
Agreement. For the purpose of this Guaranty Agreement, the Liabilities of Debtor
to the Developer are guaranteed notwithstanding any right or power of Debtor or
anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or
unenforceability of any such obligation, and no such claim or defense shall
impair or affect the obligations of the undersigned hereunder.
Payment by the Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement shall be
recorded as a cost overrun and not repayable. It shall be a payment from the
Guarantor to Debtor and, subsequently, as a payment of the Development Fee from
Debtor to Developer.
This Guaranty Agreement shall be binding upon the undersigned, and upon
the legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
This Guaranty Agreement has been made and delivered in the state of
Missouri and shall be construed and governed under Missouri law.
Whenever possible, each provision of the Guaranty Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Guaranty Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition of invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty Agreement.
No person not a Party to this Agreement is an intended beneficiary of
this Agreement, and no person not a Party to this Agreement shall have any right
to enforce any term of this Agreement.
Whenever the singular or plural number, masculine or feminine or neuter
is used herein, it shall equally include the other where applicable. In the
event this Guaranty Agreement is executed by more than one guarantor, this
Guaranty Agreement and the obligations hereunder are the joint and several
obligation of the undersigned.
Guarantor consents to the jurisdiction of the courts in the State of
Missouri and/or to the jurisdiction and venue of any United States District
Court in the State of Missouri having jurisdiction over any action or judicial
proceeding brought to enforce, construe or interpret this Guaranty. Guarantor
agrees to stipulate in any such proceeding that this Guaranty is to be
considered for all purposes to have been executed and delivered within the
geographical boundaries of the State of Missouri, even if it was, in fact,
executed and delivered elsewhere.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have hereunto caused
this Guaranty Agreement to be executed as of _______________________, 1998.
