Completion Date;
(b) achieve 100% occupancy of the Project by Qualified Tenants by January
1, 2008;
(c) obtain Permanent Mortgage Commencement by April 1, 2008;
(d) at any time before the Completion Date, prevent a foreclosure, or

(h) obtain a carryover allocation, within the meaning of Section 42 of the
Code, from the State Tax Credit Agency on or before the due date.
Section 7.4 Adjustment of Capital Contributions.
(a) The amounts of the Limited Partner's and the Special Limited Partner's
Capital Contributions were determined in part upon the amount of Tax
Credits that were expected to be available to the Partnership at a cost of
$0.75 for each dollar of Tax Credit received, and were based on the
assumption that the Partnership would be eligible to claim, in the
aggregate, the Projected Tax Credits. If the anticipated amount of
Projected Tax Credits to be allocated to the Limited Partner and Special
Limited Partner as evidenced by IRS Form 8609, Schedule A thereto, or by
the tax certification required in accordance with Section 7.2, provided to
the Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner are different than 99.99%
of $7,000,000 then the new Projected Tax Credit amount, if applicable,
shall be referred to as the "Revised Projected Tax Credits." The Limited
Partner's and Special Limited Partner's Capital Contribution provided for
in Section 7.2 shall be equal to 75% times the Projected Tax Credits or the
Revised Projected Tax Credits, if applicable, anticipated to be allocated
to the Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner. If any Capital
Contribution adjustment referenced in this Section 7.4(a) is a reduction
which is greater than the remaining Capital Contribution to be paid by the
Limited Partner, then the General Partner shall have 90 days from the date
the General Partner receives notice from either the Limited Partner or the
Special Limited Partner to pay the shortfall to the Partner whose Capital
Contribution is being adjusted. The amount paid by the General Partner
pursuant to this Section will be deemed to be a Capital Contribution by the
General Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the General Partner's Capital Contribution required to be paid
by this Section shall be disbursed to the Limited Partner as a return of
capital. If the Capital Contribution adjustment referenced in this Section
7.4(a) is an increase then the Partner whose Capital Contribution is being
adjusted shall have 90 days from the date the Limited Partner and Special
Limited Partner have received notice from the General Partner to pay the
increase.
(b) The General Partner is required to use its best efforts to rent 100% of
the Project's units to Qualified Tenants throughout the Compliance Period.
If, at the end of any calendar year following the year in which the Project
is placed in service, the Actual Tax Credit for the applicable fiscal year
or portion thereof is or will be less than the Projected Annual Tax Credit,
or the Projected Annual Tax Credit as modified by Section 7.4(a) of this
Agreement if applicable (the "Annual Credit Shortfall"), then the next
Capital Contribution owed by the Limited Partner shall be reduced by the
Annual Credit Shortfall amount, and any portion of such Annual Credit
Shortfall in excess of such Capital Contribution shall be applied to reduce
succeeding Capital Contributions of the Limited Partner. If the Annual
Credit Shortfall is greater than the Limited Partner's remaining Capital
Contributions, then the General Partner shall pay to the Limited Partner
the excess of the Annual Credit Shortfall over the remaining Capital
Contributions. The General Partner shall have 60 days to pay the Annual
Credit Shortfall from the date the General Partner receives notice from the
Special Limited Partner. The provisions of this Section 7.4(b) shall apply
equally to the Special Limited Partner in proportion to its Capital
Contribution and anticipated annual Tax Credit. The amount paid by the
General Partner pursuant to this Section will be deemed to be a Capital
23
Contribution by the General Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner's Capital Contribution
required by this Section shall be disbursed to the Limited Partner as a
return of capital.
(c) The General Partner has represented, in part, that the Limited Partner
will receive Projected Annual Tax Credits of $379,091 in 2007 and $699,860
in 2008. In the event the total of the 2007 and 2008 Actual Tax Credits are
less than the sum of such 2007 and 2008 Projected Annual Tax Credits then
the Limited Partner's Capital Contribution shall be reduced by an amount
equal to 75% times the difference between the sum of the Projected Annual
Tax Credits for 2007 and 2008 and the sum of the Actual Tax Credits for
2007 and 2008. If the sum of the 2007 and 2008 Actual Tax Credits are less
than the sum of the 2007 and 2008 Projected Annual Tax Credits projected
then the Special Limited Partner's Capital Contribution shall be reduced
following the same equation referenced in the preceding sentence. If, at
the time of determination thereof, the Capital Contribution adjustment
referenced in this Section 7.4(c) is greater than the balance of the
Limited Partner's or Special Limited Partner's Capital Contribution payment
which is then due, if any, then the excess amount shall be paid by the
General Partner to the Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner
within 60 days of the General Partner receiving notice of the reduction
from the Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner. The amount
paid by the General Partner pursuant to this Section will be deemed to be a
Capital Contribution by the General Partner. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner's Capital Contribution
required by this Section shall be disbursed to the Limited Partner as a
return of capital.
(d) The Partners recognize and acknowledge that the Limited Partner and the
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 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 Special Limited Partner with their anticipated
internal rate of return.
(e) In the event there is: (1) a filing of a tax return by the Partnership
evidencing a reduction in the qualified basis or eligible basis of the
Project causing a recapture of Tax Credits previously allocated to the
Limited Partner or an adjustment to Schedule K-1 or a loss of future Tax
Credits; (2) a filing of a tax return by the Partnership evidencing a
disposition of the Project prior to the expiration of the Compliance Period
causing a recapture of Tax Credits previously allocated to the Limited
Partner, or an adjustment to Schedule K-1, or a loss of future Tax Credits;
(3) a reduction in the qualified basis or eligible basis of the Project for
income tax purposes following an examination or review by the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") resulting in a recapture or reduction of Tax
Credits previously claimed or an adjustment to Schedule K-1; (4) a decision
by any court or administrative body upholding an assessment of deficiency
against the Partnership with respect to any Tax Credit previously claimed
or tax losses previously claimed, in connection with the Project, unless
the Partnership shall timely appeal such decision and the collection of
such assessment shall be stayed pending the disposition of such appeal; or
(5) a decision of a court affirming such decision upon such appeal then, in
addition to any other payments to which the Limited Partner and/or the
24
Special Limited Partner are entitled under the terms of this Section 7.4,
the General Partner shall pay to the Limited Partner and the Special
Limited Partner within 60 days of receiving notice from the Limited Partner
and/or the Special Limited Partner the sum of (A) the amount of the Tax
Credit recapture, (B) the cumulative tax effect of a decrease in loss
allocated to the Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner by the
Partnership; (C) any interest and penalties imposed on the Limited Partner
or Special Limited Partner with respect to such recapture; (D) the
cumulative increase of taxable income allocated to the Limited Partner and
Special Limited Partner by the Partnership; (E) an amount equal to the
product of the Tax Credit pricing percentage referenced in Section 7.4(a)
and future Tax Credits unable to be taken due to one of the above actions;
and (F) an amount sufficient to pay any tax liability owed by the Limited
Partner or Special Limited Partner resulting from the receipt of the
amounts specified in (A), (B), (C) and (D). The amount paid by the General
Partner pursuant to this Section will be deemed to be a Capital
Contribution by the General Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner's Capital Contribution
required by this Section shall be disbursed to the Limited Partner as a
return of Capital.
(f) The increase in the Capital Contribution of the Limited Partner and the
Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 7.4(a) shall be subject to the
Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner having funds available to pay
any such increase at the time of its notification of such increase. For
these purposes, any funds theretofore previously earmarked by the Limited
Partner or Special Limited Partner to make other investments, or to be held
as required reserves, shall not be considered available for payment
hereunder.
Section 7.5 Return of Capital Contribution.
From time to time the Partnership may have cash in excess of the amount
required for the conduct of the affairs of the Partnership, and the General
Partner may, with the Consent of the 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 7.6 Liability of Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner.
The Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner shall not be liable for
any of the debts, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of the
Partnership. The Limited Partner and 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.

deposited monthly in an amount equal to 1/12th of the annual required amount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as part of its obligation to achieve Breakeven
Operations, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to prefund the T & I

authority of a partner of a partnership without limited partners. If there is
more than one General Partner, all acts, decisions or consents of the General
Partners shall require the concurrence of all of the General Partners. If a
General Partner takes action without the authorization of all the General
Partners then such act, decision, etc. shall not be deemed a valid action taken
by the General Partners pursuant to this Agreement. No Limited Partner or

Section 14.3 of this Agreement. The Asset Management Fee of $9,000 shall be
payable in monthly equal installments; provided, however, that if in any
year Net Operating Income is insufficient to pay the full $9,000, the
unpaid portion thereof shall accrue and be payable on a cumulative basis in
the first year in which there is sufficient Net Operating Income, as

With the approval of any lender, if such approval is required, any
Insurance proceeds received by the Partnership due to fire or other casualty
affecting the Project will be utilized to repair and rebuild the Project in
satisfaction of the conditions contained in Section 42(j)(4) of the Code and to
the extent required by any lender. Any such proceeds received in respect of such
event occurring after the Compliance Period shall be so utilized to rebuild the

(a) All of the Partnership's expenses shall be billed directly to and paid
by the Partnership to the extent practicable. Reimbursements to the General
Partner, or any of its Affiliates, by the Partnership shall be allowed only
from the Partnership's Cash Expenses. The General Partner shall not be
reimbursed if the General Partner is obligated to pay the same as an
Operating Deficit during the Operating Deficit Guarantee Period, or by
operation of law in accordance with the State limited partnership act as
amended, or subject to the limitations on the reimbursement of such
expenses set forth herein in which case the General Partner shall be
responsible for payment of the expense. For purposes of this Section, Cash
Expenses shall include fees paid by the Partnership to the General Partner
or any Affiliate of the General Partner permitted by this Agreement and the
actual cost of goods, materials and administrative services used for or by
the Partnership, whether incurred by the General Partner, an Affiliate of
the General Partner or a nonaffiliated Person in performing the foregoing
functions. As used in the preceding sentence, "actual cost of goods and
materials" means the cost of the goods or services must be no greater and
preferably less than the cost of the same goods or services from
non-Affiliated vendors, contractors, or managers in the market area, and
actual cost of administrative services means the pro rata cost of personnel
(as if such persons were employees of the Partnership) associated
therewith, but in no event to exceed the amount which would be charged by
nonaffiliated Persons for comparable goods and services.
(b) Reimbursement to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates of
operating cash expenses pursuant to Subsection (a) hereof except for the
reimbursement of expenses expended by the General Partner prior to the date
hereof (which shall be repaid out of the initial capital contribution)
shall be subject to the following:
(i) no such reimbursement shall be permitted for services for which
the General Partner or any of its Affiliates is entitled to compensation by
way of a separate fee; and
(ii) no such reimbursement shall be made for (A) rent or depreciation,
utilities, capital equipment or other such administrative items, and (B)
salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses and other administrative items
incurred or allocated to any "controlling person" of the General Partner or
any Affiliate of the General Partner. For the purposes of this Section
9.9(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 management, such as the vice president of an
35
operating division who reports directly to executive management; or (iv)
those holding 5% or more equity interest in such General Partner or any
such Affiliate of the General Partner or a person having the power to
direct or cause the direction of such General Partner or any such Affiliate
of the General Partner, whether through the ownership of voting securities,

Any Partner may engage independently or with others in other business
ventures wholly unrelated to the Partnership business of every nature and
description, including, without limitation, the acquisition, development,
construction, operation and management of real estate projects and developments
of every type on their own behalf or on behalf of other partnerships, joint
ventures, corporations or other business ventures formed by them or in which
they may have an interest, including, without limitation, business ventures
similar to, related to or in direct or 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.

(s) The buildings on the Project site constitute or shall constitute a
"qualified low-income housing project" as defined in Section 42(g) of the

the Partnership to fail to qualify as a limited partnership under the Act,
or (3) the Limited Partner to be liable for Partnership obligations;
provided however, the General Partner shall not be in breach of this
representation if the action causing the Limited Partner to be liable for
the Partnership obligations is undertaken by the Limited Partner.
38
(x) No event or proceeding, including, but not limited to, any legal
actions or proceedings before any court, commission, administrative body or
other governmental authority, and acts of any governmental authority having
jurisdiction over the zoning or land use laws applicable to the Project,
has occurred the continuing effect of which has: (1) materially or
adversely affected the operation of the Partnership or the Project; (2)
materially or adversely affected the ability of the General Partner to
perform its obligations hereunder or under any other agreement with respect
to the Project; or (3) prevented the Completion of Construction of the
Improvements in substantial conformity with the Project Documents, other
than legal proceedings which have been bonded against (or as to which other
adequate financial security has been issued) in a manner as to indemnify
the Partnership against loss; provided, however, the foregoing does not
apply to matters of general applicability which would adversely affect the
Partnership, the General Partner, Affiliates of the General Partner or the
Project only insofar as they or any of them are part of the general public.
(y) Neither the Partnership nor the General Partner has any liabilities,

(aa) The General Partner has contacted the local tax assessor, or similar
representative, and has determined that the Real Estate Taxes are accurate
and correct, and that the Partnership will not be required to pay any more
for real estate taxes, or property taxes, than the amount of Real Estate
Taxes, referenced in this Agreement, except for annual increases imposed on
all real estate within the same county as the Project and increases caused
by reappraisal of all real estate within the same county. In the event the
actual real estate taxes, or property taxes, are greater than the Real
Estate Taxes specified in this Agreement and as a result of the higher real
estate tax, or property tax, the Debt Service Coverage falls below 1.15
then the General Partner will contribute additional capital to lower the
principal of the mortgage and reamortize the Mortgage so that the Debt
Service Coverage is at a sustainable 1.15, as approved by the Special
Limited Partner. If the Mortgage lender will not or cannot reamortize the
loan as specified in this Section, and the General Partner cannot obtain
another mortgage, then the General Partner will contribute additional
capital as determined by the Special Limited Partner to the T & I Account
in an amount equal to the annual difference between the actual real estate
tax, or property tax, over the Real Estate Taxes specified in this
Agreement times the number of years remaining on the 15-year LIHTC
compliance term. Any payment by the General Partner pursuant to this
section shall be in addition to the General Partner's obligation to fund
Operating Deficits.
39
(bb) The Partnership will maintain a Debt Service Coverage of not less than
1.15 and will not close on a permanent loan or refinance a Mortgage loan if
the Debt Service Coverage would fall below 1.15.
(cc) The General Partner will ensure that the Architect of Record will have
a policy of professional liability insurance in an amount not less than
$1,000,000, which policy should remain in force for a period of at least 2
years after the closing and funding of the Mortgage.
(dd) The General Partner and the Guarantor have and shall maintain an
aggregate net worth equal to at least $5,000,000 computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.
(ee) The Partnership is in compliance with and will maintain compliance
with the requirements of the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C.
3600 et seq.) as amended, with respect to the Project.
(ff) Neither the General Partner nor its Affiliates will take any action or
agree to any terms or conditions that are contrary to, or in disagreement
with, the tax credit application used to secure the LIHTC, or the land use
restriction agreement required to be recorded against the Project.
The General Partner shall be liable to the Limited Partner for any
costs, damages, loss of profits, diminution in the value of its investment in
the Partnership, or other losses, of every nature and kind whatsoever, direct or
indirect, realized or incurred by the Limited Partner as a result of any
material breach of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section
9.12.
Section 9.13 Indemnification of the Partnership and the Limited Partners.
The General Partner will indemnify and hold the Partnership and the
Limited Partners harmless from and against any and all losses, damages and
liabilities (including reasonable attorney's fees) which the Partnership or any
Limited Partner may incur by reason of the past, present, or future actions or
omissions of the General Partner or any of its Affiliates that constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct, fraud, malfeasance, breach of fiduciary duty,
or breach of any material provision of this Agreement that has a material
adverse effect on the Project, the Partnership or any Limited Partner.
Section 9.14 Option to Acquire.
At any time after expiration of the Compliance Period, the General
Partner may give notice (the "GP Notice") to the Limited Partner that it desires
to purchase the entire Interest of each of the Limited Partner and the Special
Limited Partner in the Partnership. Upon receipt by the Limited Partner and the
Special Limited Partner, the following events shall occur:
(a) The purchase price of the Interests shall be determined as of the date
of the GP Notice. The purchase price shall be the greater of (i) the
aggregate of the Fair Market Value of the Interest of the Limited Partner
and the Fair Market Value of the Interest of the Special Limited Partner or
40
(ii) the "Tax Amount" as hereinafter defined. The Fair Market Value of the
Interests shall be determined after taking into consideration any
outstanding loans and accrued fees due under this Agreement. The parties
hereto agree that the value of the Limited Partner's and Special Limited
Partner's Interests shall be calculated by determining the amount that the
Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner would receive upon the sale of
the Project (i.e., the Limited Partner would receive 9.99% and the Special
Limited Partner would receive 0.01% of the net amount equal to the
appraised value less the amount of any outstanding debts and accrued fees).
(b) The Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner shall negotiate
with the General Partner for a period of 30 days after the GP Notice is
received to agree upon the Fair Market Value of their respective Interests.
In the event an agreement is not reached within such 30 day period, then
the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner may request that Fair
Market Value be determined in accordance with the process set forth below
by sending notice (the "Appraisal Notice") of same to the other party
within 15 days after the expiration of the 30 day period. If an Appraisal
Notice is not sent by either party within such 15 day period, then the
General Partner's option shall expire.
(c) If the respective Fair Market Value of the Interests of the Limited
Partner and the Special Limited Partner are not agreed upon as provided
above and either the General Partner or the Special Limited Partner issues
to the other Person an Appraisal Notice, then the Fair Market Value of such
Interests shall be determined by an appraisal. The appraisal shall be
conducted by an independent appraiser satisfactory to the General Partner
and the Special Limited Partner or, in the event that a single independent
appraiser cannot be agreed upon within 30 days following the date of the
Appraisal Notice, the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner shall
each select an independent appraiser and the appraisers so selected shall
select a third independent appraiser. All appraisers so designated shall be
experienced in accounting, business or real estate appraisal. The appraiser
or appraisers shall determine the Fair Market Value of the Interest of each
of the Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner and the parties
hereto agree that the appraisal shall be based on the income valuation
approach. The decision of the appraisers (if more than one) shall be made
by the majority of such appraisers. The appraiser or appraisers shall
render a written report setting forth the Fair Market Value of such
Interests, which decision shall be rendered as expeditiously as possible by
the appraiser or appraisers and which decision shall be final and binding
upon the parties. The reasonable fees and expenses of the appraiser or
appraisers shall be paid one-half by the General Partner and one-half by
the Limited Partner. For purposes of this calculation, the amount of the
replacement reserve or any other reserves required hereunder shall not be
taken into account in determining Fair Market Value.
(d) The "Tax Amount" shall mean the dollar amount computed in the following
fashion:
(i) The Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner shall be
deemed to have gain in an amount equal to the difference between their
respective basis in the Project and an amount equal to the total
forgiveness of debt which would be realized by the Limited Partner and the
Special Limited Partner computed as if the Limited Partner and the Special
41
Limited Partner abandoned their Interests in the Partnership on the date of
the GP Notice. The Tax Amount shall equal the deemed gain as computed above
by a tax rate(s) applied to such gain. The tax rate shall be the highest
individual rate stated in the Code applicable to the type of income (and if
there is more than one rate applicable because of more than one type of
income, the different rates shall be applied to the appropriate portions of
such income). The Limited Partner shall cooperate to expeditiously
determine the Tax Amount.
(e) Following determination of the purchase price, the General Partner
shall have 30 days thereafter to determine whether the General Partner will
purchase the Interests of the Limited Partner and the Special Limited
Partner at the purchase price so determined. The General Partner shall
exercise such right by written notice to the Limited Partner and the
Special Limited Partner within such 30 day period, and if such right is not
so exercised, the option shall lapse in its entirety.
(f) If the General Partner determines to proceed with the purchase, the
closing of the purchase shall occur within 120 days after the determination
of the purchase price and the purchase price shall be then paid all cash at
closing.
Section 9.15 Right of First Refusal.
If the Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner are desirous of
selling their Interests in the Partnership then they must first offer their
Interests to the General Partner (the "Offer") on the terms and at the price
specified in Section 9.14 of this Agreement. For these purposes, the term "sell"
shall include any transfer, conveyance, assignment or pledge of all or any
portion of such Interests. The General Partner shall have 30 days from receipt
of the Offer (the "Offer Period") in which to accept or reject the Offer. If the
General Partner gives timely notice of acceptance of the Offer within the Offer
Period, the Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner shall be obligated
to sell their Interests and the General Partner shall be obligated to purchase
the Interests. If the General Partner does not give timely notice of acceptance
of the Offer within the Offer Period, then the Limited Partner and the Special
Limited Partner may sell their Interests upon any terms and conditions. The
General Partner shall not be responsible for recapture or loss of tax credits
resulting from a sale by the Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner
hereunder.
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 99.98% to
the Limited Partner, 0.01% to the Special Limited Partner and 0.01% to the
General Partner. In allocating Tax Credits, the special allocation provisions of
Section 10.3 shall not be taken into account.
42
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:
(i) 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; and
(ii) the balance, if any, of such Income shall be allocated to the
Partners in the proportion necessary so that the Partners will receive the
amount to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof.
(b) Losses shall be allocated 99.98% to the Limited Partner, 0.01% to the
Special Limited Partner and 0.01% 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
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 Special Limited Partner. In the event an allocation of
99.98% or 0.01% 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 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 Special Limited Partner as is
necessary to allow the Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner to be
allocated 99.98% and 0.01%, respectively, of the items of Income and
Project depreciation without creating or increasing an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit for the Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner, it
being the intent of the parties that the Limited Partner and the Special
Limited Partner always shall be allocated 99.98% and 0.01%, respectively,
of the items of Income not arising from a Sale or Refinancing and 99.98%
and 0.01%, 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
43
Partnership Minimum Gain, 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 Sections 10.3(d) and Section 10.3(c)
hereof were not in the Agreement.
44
(e) Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated
99.98% to the Limited Partner, 0.01% to the Special Limited Partner and
0.01% 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:
(i) such interest income shall be specially allocated to the Limited
Partner to whom such promissory note relates; and
(ii) 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) To the extent the Partnership has taxable interest income with respect
to deposits of Capital Contribution payments, such interest income shall be
specially allocated to the General Partner.
(j) 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.
(k) Any reduction in the adjusted tax basis (or cost) of Partnership
investment tax credit property pursuant to Code Section 50(c) shall be
specially 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).
(l) 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
45
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.
(m) 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.
(n) Interest deduction on the Partnership indebtedness referred to in
Section 6.4 shall be allocated 100% to the General Partner.
(o) In the event all or part of the Incentive Management Fee or the Tax
Credit Compliance Fee is disallowed by the Internal Revenue Service, then
any interest or income chargeable to the Partnership for such disallowance
shall be allocated to the General Partner.
(p) If the General Partner provides an Operating Loan to pay an Operating
Deficit, then the Partnership shall allocate Operating Losses to the
General Partner in an amount not to exceed the Operating Loan.
Section 10.4 Curative Allocations.
The allocations set forth in Section 10.2(c), Section 10.3(a), Section
10.3(b), Section 10.3(c), Section 10.3(d), Section 10.3(e), Section 10.3(f), and
Section 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 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 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 Section 10.1,
Section 10.2(a), Section 10.2(b), Section 10.3(h), Section 10.3(i), Section
10.3(j), Section 10.3(k), Section 10.3(l), Section 10.3(m) and Section 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 Section
10.3(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory
Allocations previously made under Section 10.3(e) and Section 10.3(f).
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
46
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 99.98% to the Limited Partner, 0.01% to the
Special Limited Partner and 0.01% 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 Section 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 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 - 99.98%; Special
Limited Partner - 0.01%; General Partner - 0.01%.
(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.
(f) In the event that the deduction of all or a portion of any fee paid or
incurred out of Net Operating Income by the Partnership to a Partner or an
Affiliate of a Partner is disallowed for federal income tax purposes by the
Internal Revenue Service with respect to a taxable year of the Partnership,
the Partnership shall then allocate to such Partner an amount of gross
income of the Partnership for such year equal to the amount of such fee as
to which the deduction is disallowed.
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
47
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.
In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is
adjusted, 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 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 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 Special Limited Partner.
Section 10.9 Modification of Allocations.
The provisions of Article X and Article 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 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 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 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.

all respects, and shall incur no liability for allocations and Distributions

Section 12.5 Substitution of Assignee as Limited Partner or Special Limited

General Partner's removal then the remaining Partners may suffer
irreparable injury. Therefore, in the event the General Partner does not
adhere to the provisions of this Section 13.2(b), and in addition to other
rights or remedies which may be provided by law and equity or this
Agreement, the Limited Partner and/or Special Limited Partner shall have
the right to specific performance to compel the General Partner to perform
its obligation under this Section and the Limited Partner and/or Special
Limited Partner may bring such action, and other actions to enforce the

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
54
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 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 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 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 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, or
is not an Involuntary Withdrawal in accordance with Section 13.2(a), 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 repaid any outstanding advances
or loans made by it to the Partnership 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 Special Limited Partner), or if there is no other general
partner of the Partnership at that time, to the Special Limited Partner.
Furthermore, if the General Partner or an Affiliate is the guarantor of the
Development Fee, as provided pursuant to the Development Fee Guaranty
Agreement, then the General Partner shall pay any remaining unpaid
principal and interest of the Development Fee within 30 days of the General
Partner's removal.
(b) In the event of an Involuntary Withdrawal, except as provided in
Section 13.3(c) 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.
(i) 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
Partnership, with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, may, but is
55
not obligated to, purchase the Interest of the Withdrawing General Partner.
The purchase price of such Interest shall be its Fair Market Value as
determined by agreement between the Withdrawing General Partner and the
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 Article XV. The note shall also provide that the Partnership may
prepay all or any part thereof without penalty.
(ii) 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 special limited partner.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.3(b), if the Involuntary
Withdrawal arises from removal for cause as set forth in Section 13.2(a)
hereof, the Withdrawn 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 any payment for its Interest, nor shall it be entitled to receive
or to be paid by the Partnership or any Partners or successor partners, any
further payments of fees (including fees which have been earned but remain
unpaid) or to be repaid any outstanding advances or loans made by it to the
Partnership. Furthermore, if the General Partner or an Affiliate is the
guarantor of the Development Fee, as provided in the Development Fee
Guaranty Agreement, then the General Partner shall pay any remaining unpaid
principal and interest of the Development Fee within 30 days of the General
Partner's removal.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
upon the death of the General Partner named in this Agreement, the
beneficiaries of such General Partner taking such General Partner's
Interest in the Partnership by the General Partner's will, testamentary
trust instrument or living trust instrument and who have been actively
involved in the management of Property or an entity controlled by such
beneficiary shall succeed to all General Partner Interests and shall
succeed to all of all of the General Partner's right, title and interest in
the Partnership with consent of the Special Limited Partner or the Limited
Partner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
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 Special Limited Partner of such Withdrawal (the
"Withdrawal Notice"). Whether or not the Withdrawal Notice shall have been sent
as provided herein the Special Limited Partner shall have the right to become a
successor General Partner (and to become the successor managing General Partner
56
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 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 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 Special Limited Partner to the admission of
such Person as a substitute General Partner shall have been granted, which
consent may be withheld in the discretion of the Special Limited Partner (unless
the successor is an heir to a deceased General Partner, then pursuant to Section
13.3 hereof, the consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Special

(b) The sale of the Project and the receipt in cash of the full amount of

of any Mortgage lender to which the Partnership is subject.
Section 15.2 Return of Capital Contribution upon Dissolution.
Except as provided in Section 7.3 and Section 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
obligations of the General Partner, as well as the obligations 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 Special Limited Partner.
Section 15.3 Distribution 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 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.
63
(a) Upon dissolution and termination, after payment of, or adequate
provision for, the debts and obligations of the Partnership pursuant to

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 taxable year in which such liquidation
occurs, such General Partner shall pay to the Partnership the amount
necessary to restore such deficit balance to zero in compliance with
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3).
(i) The deficit reduction amount shall be paid by the General Partner
by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after the

accordance with their positive Capital Account balances.
(c) With respect to assets distributed in kind to the Partners in

Partnership immediately prior to the liquidation or other Distribution
event; and
(ii) 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

asset's Gross Asset Value. 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.

loss, but only with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, either defer
liquidation and retain all or a portion of the assets or distribute all or a
64
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

written notice to the General Partner, that the General Partner promptly
submit a written request to the applicable State Tax Credit Agency pursuant

endeavor to locate within 1 year from the date of such written request a
purchaser for the Project who will continue to operate the Project as a
qualified low-income property, at a purchase price that is not less than
the minimum amount set forth in Section 42(h)(6) of the Code (or any
successor provision). In the event that the State Tax Credit Agency obtains
an offer satisfying the conditions of the preceding sentence, the General
Partner shall promptly notify the Special Limited Partner in writing with
respect to the terms and conditions of such offer, and, if the Special
Limited Partner notifies the General Partner that such offer should be
accepted, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership promptly to
accept such offer and to proceed to sell the Project pursuant to such
offer.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
the Special Limited Partner shall have the right at any time after the end

Partner in writing with respect to the terms and conditions of the proposed
sale and the General Partner shall cause the Partnership promptly to sell
the Project to such buyer.

(xi) the Development, Construction, and Operating Budget Agreement,

and the Limited Partner and dated ______________;
(xiii) the Construction Monitoring Agreement, entered into by the

and dated ______________ ______________;
(xiv) the [reservation letter/carryover allocation] from the Tennessee
Housing Development Agency(the "State Agency") dated December 22, 2004
awarding $7,000,000 in federal tax credits annually for each of 10
years; and
(xv) 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, (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, other than the Partnership,
the General Partner, the Developer and the Guarantor, who executed the document
had proper authority and capacity to do so.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
(a) The General Partner is a limited liability company duly formed and
validly existing under the laws of the State of Tennessee.
(b) The Partnership is a limited partnership duly formed and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Tennessee.
Exhibit B-2
(c) The Partnership has full power and authority to own, develop,
construct, finance and operate the Project and to otherwise conduct business
under the Partnership Agreement and the Related Agreements.
(d) Execution of the Partnership Agreement and the Related Agreements by
the General Partner and the Partnership, as applicable, has been duly and
validly authorized by or on behalf of the General Partner and the Partnership,
as applicable, and, having been executed and delivered in accordance with its
terms, each of the Partnership Agreement and the Related Agreements constitutes
the valid and binding agreement of the General Partners and the Partnership, as
applicable, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(e) The execution and delivery of the Partnership Agreement and the Related
Agreements by the General Partner do 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, the
Partnership, the Developer or the Guarantor is a party or by which any of them
may be bound, or any order, rule, or regulation 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 Project, the Partnership, or any General Partner, the Guarantor,
or the Developer which would materially adversely affect the condition
(financial or otherwise) or business of the Project, the Partnership or any of
the partners of the Partnership.
(g) The Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner have been admitted
to the Partnership as limited partners of the Partnership under Tennessee law
and are entitled to all of the rights of limited partners under the Partnership

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 and the Special Limited Partner for
obligations of the Partnership is limited to the amount of their capital
contributions required by the Partnership Agreement.
(i) Neither the General Partner of the Partnership nor the Limited Partner
nor the Special Limited Partner will have any liability for the Mortgage (as
such term is defined in the Partnership Agreement), and the lender of the
Mortgage Loan will look only to its security in the Project for repayment of the
Mortgage Loan.
(j) The Partnership owns a fee simple interest in the Project.
(k) To the best of our actual knowledge and belief, after due inquiry, the

Exhibit B-3
applicable governmental or regulatory agencies for the development, construction
and operation of the Project, and the Project conforms to all applicable
Federal, state and local land use, zoning, health, building and safety laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations.
(l) The Project has obtained a carryover allocation of low housing tax
credits ("LIHTC") from the State Agency. The final allocation of LIHTC and
ultimate eligibility of the Project 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 Project will qualify for LIHTC.
(m) The Guarantor, if not an individual, was incorporated, duly organized,
and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Tennessee, is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which because of
the nature of its activities or properties qualification is appropriate, and has
all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties and to carry
on its business as now conducted.
(n) Each Guarantor (i) has full power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under and (ii) has duly authorized the execution,
delivery and performance of the Development Fee Guaranty Agreement and the
Construction Completion, Operating Deficit and Tax Credit Guaranty Agreement
(collectively, the "Guaranty"). The Guaranty has been duly executed and
delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms except as
the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditor's rights generally and general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforceability is considered a proceeding at law or
equity).
(o) The Developer was incorporated, duly organized, and is validly existing
and in good standing the laws of the State of Tennessee, is qualified to do
business in every jurisdiction in which because of the nature of its activities
or properties qualification is appropriate, and has all requisite power and
authority to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now
conducted.
(p) The Developer (i) has full power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under, and (ii) has duly authorized the execution,
delivery and performance of the Development Agreement. The Development Agreement
has been duly executed and delivered by the Developer and constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Developer enforceable in accordance with its
terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights generally and general principles
of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered a proceeding at
law or equity).
I am a member of the Bar of the State of Tennessee and express no
opinion as to the laws applicable in any other jurisdiction. 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
Exhibit B-4
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

any Federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation governing or pertaining

[Development Fee Agreement]
Exhibit A
Legal Description
[TO BE ATTACHED BY WNC]
DEVELOPMENT FEE GUARANTY AGREEMENT
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, and in consideration of the agreement of United Development
Corporation (the "Developer") to permit deferral of the $ ______________ due
from Memphis 2004.0 LP, a Tennessee limited partnership ("Debtor") to the
Developer, the undersigned Guarantor(s), hereby unconditionally guarantees 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
Fee Agreement dated the even date herewith, and 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 Debtor or Developer in endeavoring to collect the Liabilities, or any part
thereof, and in enforcing the Liabilities or this 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 Agreement is a substantial inducement to the Developer to extend credit to
Debtor and that the Developer would not otherwise extend credit to Debtor.
Debtor or 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 and (c)
resort to the undersigned for payment of any of the Liabilities, whether or not
the Debtor or 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.
Debtor and Developer must mutually agree to (a) extend or renew for any
period this Agreement (whether or not longer than the original period) or alter
any of the Liabilities, (b) 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, or (c) 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,
The undersigned hereby expressly waives: (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, though nothing herein shall prevent the Developer from
proceeding 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.
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 Agreement.
For the purpose of this 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.
Any payment from Guarantor directly to Developer or the Debtor in
accordance with this Agreement shall be classified and booked as a
non-refundable cost overrun payment from Guarantor to Debtor in consideration of
this Agreement and then a payment by Debtor to Developer in consideration of the
Development Fee Agreement, provided that any payments made to the Partnership
under the guarantee of Development Fee payment pursuant to Section 6.3(b) of the
Partnership Agreement shall be included in the Capital Account of the General
Partner.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the undersigned, and upon the
legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of the undersigned, and may
be enforced against them by the Debtor or Developer or their legal
representatives, heirs, successors and assigns.
This Agreement has been made and delivered in the State of Tennessee
and shall be construed and governed under Tennessee law.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this 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 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 Agreement is executed by more than one guarantor, this Agreement and
the obligations hereunder are the joint and several obligation of all the
undersigned.
Guarantor consents to the jurisdiction of the courts in the State of
Tennessee and/or to the jurisdiction and venue of any United States District
Court in the State of Tennessee 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
2
considered for all purposes to have been executed and delivered within the
geographical boundaries of the State of Tennessee, even if it was, in fact,
executed and delivered elsewhere.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, on even date herewith, a partnership agreement for the
Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") was entered into by and between
Memphis 2004 LLC as the general partner (collectively, "General Partner") and
the Limited Partner (the Partnership Agreement is incorporated herein by this
reference as if the same were reproduced in full and any capitalized terms not
defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning as defined in the Partnership
Agreement).
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the
General Partner: (1) is required to guarantee the completion of construction of

guarantee the payment of all Operating Deficits incurred by the Partnership as a
result of the operations of the Project; and (3) is required to guarantee the

WHEREAS, the Limited Partner would not have entered into the
Partnership Agreement as a limited partner but for the agreement of Guarantor to
provide the financial funds necessary to obtain Completion of Construction, to
pay Operating Deficits and to pay Tax Credit deficits. Guarantor is an affiliate
of the General Partner and will therefore benefit from the acquisition by the
Limited Partner of a limited partnership interest in the Partnership.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the promises,
covenants and undertakings herein contained and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Parties hereto agree as follows:

of the Partnership Agreement, including all modifications thereof, pursuant to
and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Partnership
Agreement and in this Agreement.
SECTION 2. Guarantor further agrees to pay all expenses paid or
incurred by the Partnership and/or Limited Partner in endeavoring to collect
Guarantor's obligations, or any part thereof, and in enforcing the provisions of
this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys' fees if collected or enforced by
law or through an attorney-at-law.
SECTION 3. No delay or failure on the part of the Partnership or
Limited Partner in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver
thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Partnership 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 Partnership permitted hereunder shall in
any way impair or affect this Agreement. For the purpose of this Agreement,
Guarantor's obligations are guaranteed notwithstanding any right or power of
anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or
unenforceability of any such obligation, and no such third party claim or
defense shall impair or affect the obligations of Guarantors hereunder.
SECTION 4. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties, and upon
their legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns.
SECTION 5. This Agreement has been made and delivered in the State of
Tennessee and shall be construed and governed under Tennessee law.
SECTION 6. Whenever possible, each provision of the Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 7. The Parties recognize and acknowledge, and Guarantor agrees
and consents, that if the Partnership does not take legal action to enforce this
Agreement, if and when by the terms of this Agreement it is enforceable, then
the Limited Partner, may on its own behalf and in its own name commence legal
proceedings to enforce the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 8. Whenever the singular or plural number, masculine or
feminine or neuter is used herein, it shall equally include the other where
applicable.
SECTION 9. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, and said counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same instrument which may sufficiently be evidenced
by one counterpart.
SECTION 10. The Parties consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the
courts of Shelby County in the State of Tennessee and/or to the jurisdiction and
venue of any United States District Court in the State of Tennessee having
jurisdiction over Shelby County in any action or judicial proceeding brought to
enforce, construe or interpret this Agreement. The Parties agree to stipulate in
any such proceeding that this Agreement is to be considered for all purposes to
have been executed and delivered within the geographical boundaries of the State
of Tennessee, even if it was, in fact, executed and delivered elsewhere.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Construction, Operating Deficit, and Tax
