Section 13.8), to the extent the law of the State is not
inconsistent, the Special Limited Partner shall have the right,
subject to any Requisite Approvals, to:
(i) amend this Agreement provided, however, that no such
amendment affect the vested rights (including, without
limitation, the right to receive any fees, allocable share of
Cash Flow or other distributions, or Profits or Losses and Tax
Credits hereunder) or increase any of the liabilities or
obligations of any General Partner without its prior written
consent;
(ii) dissolve the Partnership provided, however, that such
dissolution shall not be caused by the Special Limited Partner
unless the General Partner has violated a material provision of
any Project Document, which violation has not been cured within
any applicable cure period specified;
(iii) remove any General Partner and elect a new General Partner
(A) on the basis of the performance and discharge of such General
Partner's obligations constituting fraud, bad faith, gross
negligence, wilful misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty, or (B)

(iv) continue the business of the Partnership with a substitute
General Partner, provided that the General Partner has been

(b) Upon the removal of a General Partner for cause pursuant to
Section 4.5(a)(iii),

Limited Partner shall cause an Affiliate automatically to become
a General Partner (the "Substitute General Partner") and acquire
in consideration of a cash payment of $100 such portion of the
Interest of the removed General Partner as counsel to the Special
Limited Partner shall determine is the minimum appropriate
interest in order to assure the continued status of the
Partnership as a partnership under the Code and under the Act,
(ii) the remaining portion of the economic Interest of the
removed General Partner shall automatically be forfeited to the
Partnership, not as a penalty but as liquidated damages to
compensate the Partnership for the action of such General Partner
leading to its removal, or for the fact of its violation of the
terms of this Agreement, and
(iii) the Substitute General Partner shall automatically be
irrevocably delegated all of the powers and duties of the General
Partners pursuant to Section 6.13. A General Partner so removed

the Partnership incurred after the effective date of its removal.
Each General Partner hereby grants to the Special Limited Partner
an irrevocable (to the extent permitted by applicable law) power
of attorney coupled with an interest to execute and deliver any
and all documents and instruments on behalf of such General
Partner and the Partnership as the Special Limited Partner may
deem to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the
provisions of this Section 4.5 and to enable the new General
Partner to manage the business of the Partnership.

the Limited Partners may vote as set forth in this Agreement. A

maintained as part of the books and records of the Partnership
and shall be made available upon request to any Limited Partner
or his representative at his cost. Upon receipt of a written
request either in person or by certified mail stating the
purpose(s) of the meeting, the General Partner shall provide all
Limited Partners within ten (10) days after receipt of said
request, written notice of a meeting and the purpose of such
meeting to be held on a date not less than fifteen (15) nor more

place convenient to the Limited Partners.
ARTICLE V
Capital Contributions of the Investment Limited Partner
and the Special Limited Partner
5.1. Payments
(a) The Special Limited Partner's Capital Contribution of $10
shall be paid in full in cash on the Admission Date. The
Investment Limited Partner's Capital Contribution in the
aggregate amount of $4,386,385 shall be paid in cash installments
(the "Installments"), as follows:
(i) $3,418,908 (the "First Installment") on the latest of (A) the
Admission Date, (B) the admission of the Substitute General
Partner, (C) the receipt and approval of all due diligence items
by the Investment Limited Partner, (D) the closing of the
Construction Loan, (E) the Permanent Loan Commitment Date, (F)
Tax Credit Set-Aside and (G) the Construction Permitting Date;
(ii) $581,594 (the "Second Installment"), on the latest of (A)
the Completion Date, (B) receipt by the Investment Limited
Partner of the Contractor Pay-Off Letter, (C) receipt by the
Investment Limited Partner of an Estoppel Letter from each
Lender, (D) receipt by the Investment Limited Partner of updated
liability insurance certificates, or (E) completion of all Due
Diligence Recommendations;
(iii) $375,883 (the "Third Installment") on the later of (A) the
Initial 100% Occupancy Date, (B) Permanent Mortgage Commencement,
(C) State Designation, (D) Cost Certification, (E) receipt of an
updated Title Policy in form and substance satisfactory to the
Special Limited Partner, which policy in no event shall contain a

(iv) $10,000 (the "Fourth Installment") upon the receipt by the
Investment Limited Partner of a copy of the properly filed
Partnership federal income tax return and an audited Partnership
financial statement for the year in which Rental Achievement
occurs;
provided, however, that (x) the General Partner shall give the
Investment Limited Partner not less than twenty-one (21) days'
written notice prior to the due date of each Installment
subsequent to the First Installment, and (y) no Installment shall
be due if a Material Event has occurred and is continuing, and
(z) provided, further, that the First Installment and a portion
of the proceeds of the Construction Loan as set forth in the
Construction Disbursement Agreement shall be applied toward the
satisfaction of the Presyndication Loan and (aa) unless and until
all conditions to the payment of all prior Installments have been
satisfied.
(b) The obligation of the Investment Limited Partner to pay each
Installment is conditioned upon delivery by the General Partner
to the Investment Limited Partner of a written certificate (the
"Payment Certificate") stating that as of the date of such
certificate (i) all the conditions to the payment of such
Installment and each prior Installment have been satisfied, (ii)
all representations and warranties of the General Partner
contained in this Agreement are true and correct and (iii) no
event has occurred which suspends or terminates the obligations
of the Investment Limited Partner to pay Installments under this
Agreement which has not been cured as herein provided, (iv) no
event has occurred which, with the giving of notice, would oblige
the General Partner to repurchase the Interests of the Investment
Limited Partner pursuant to Section 5.2(a). Except as provided
in the final sentence of this Section 5.1(b), acceptance by the
Partnership of any Installment shall constitute a confirmation
that, as of the date of payment, all such conditions are
satisfied and all such representations and warranties are true
and correct. The obligation of the Investment Limited Partner to
pay the First Installment is also conditioned upon delivery by
the General Partner to the Investment Limited Partner of (x) a
legal opinion of independent counsel to the Partnership, the
General Partner, the Developer and the Guarantor, which
opinion(s) must be satisfactory to the Investment Limited Partner
as to form, content and identity of counsel and (y) a photocopy
of a binding commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Special Limited Partner, to issue the Title Policy and
endorsements thereto in form and substance satisfactory to the
Special Limited Partner insuring against all zoning defects of
the Apartment Complex, a Fairway endorsement and a non-imputation
endorsement. In no event shall any Installment become due until
all of the conditions for all of the Installments listed prior to
the Installment in question in Section 5.1(a) shall have been
satisfied and all of such prior Installments shall have become
due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if at any time
prior to the date when an Installment becomes due and payable,
the Partnership has an Operating Deficit which the General
Partner would be required to fund pursuant to Section 6.10, then
the Investment Limited Partner may, at its option, waive the
requirement of the delivery of the Payment Certificate or any
other condition with respect to part or all of such Installment
and pay such part or all of such Installment, provided that the
proceeds of the amount so paid are used by the Partnership to
fully fund such Operating Deficit; provided, however, that if the
proceeds of such amount so paid are designated in Section 6.12 to
be used to pay fee(s), then such proceeds shall be utilized to
pay such fee(s) and the recipient(s) thereof shall be required
to, and hereby agree to, utilize the proceeds of such fee(s) to
fund such Operating Deficit, in which case the Investment Limited
Partner is hereby authorized to directly fund such Operating
Deficit, with the funds so applied being deemed to have been paid
as aforesaid.
(c) The Payment Certificate for each Installment shall be dated
and delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30)
days prior to the due date for such Installment.
(d) If, as of the date when an Installment would otherwise be
due, any statement required to be made in the Payment Certificate
for such Installment cannot be truthfully made, the General
Partner shall notify the Investment Limited Partner of the reason
why such statement would be untrue if made, and the Investment
Limited Partner shall not be required to pay such Installment;
provided, however, that if (i) any such statement can
subsequently be truthfully made and (ii) the Investment Limited
Partner shall not have irrevocably lost, in the good faith
judgment of the Investment General Partner, any material tax or
other benefits hereunder (other than tax benefits for which the
Investment Limited Partner has been fully compensated pursuant to
the provisions of paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) of this Section
5.1), then the Investment Limited Partner shall pay such
Installment to the Partnership thirty (30) days after delivery by
the General Partner to the Investment Limited Partner of the
Payment Certificate together with an explanation of the manner in
which each such statement had become true.
(e) In the event that as of or any time prior to Cost
Certification (the "Initial Adjustment Date"), the Investment
Limited Partner shall receive a written certification of the
Auditors indicating that the aggregate Actual Credit during the
Credit Period will be less than the aggregate Projected Credit
during the Credit Period, then (i) the next succeeding
Installments of the Capital Contributions of the Investment
Limited Partner shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
product of (X) the difference between (1) the aggregate Projected
Credit during the Credit Period and (2) the aggregate Actual
Credit during the Credit Period and (Y) 0.986, and (ii) the
Projected Credit for each Fiscal Year shall thereafter be
redefined to mean the Actual Credit, as so determined (the
"Revised Projected Credit"). Any such reduction pursuant to this
Section 5.1(e) shall be made first to the Third Installment, if
any, next due to be paid by the Investment Limited Partner, and
any balance of such amount payable by the General Partner in
excess of the amount of such Installment shall be applied to
succeeding Installments, if any, provided that if the amount of
any such reductions exceeds the sum of the remaining
Installments, if any, then an amount equal to the amount of such
excess shall be paid by the General Partner to the Investment
Limited Partner promptly after demand is made therefor, as a
payment of damages for breach of warranty, regardless of the
reason for the occurrence of such event (unless such reduction
was caused by an act or omission of the Investment Limited
Partner or its Affiliates, in which event no such reduction or
payment shall be required). No reduction of any Installment or
any payment by the General Partner pursuant to this Section
5.1(e) shall be deemed to be a Capital Contribution by the
General Partner to the Partnership, nor shall any such payment
constitute a return of capital to the Investment Limited Partner.
(f) If with respect to any Fiscal Year all or a portion of which
occurs during the Initial Operating Period, the Actual Credit is
or was less than the Projected Credit (or the Revised Projected
Credit, if applicable) for such Fiscal Year (a "Reduction Year"),
then the General Partner shall pay to the Investment Limited
Partner the Reduction Amount. The Reduction Amount shall be equal
to the sum of (A) the excess of the Projected Credit (or the
Revised Projected Credit, if applicable) for such Fiscal Year
over the Actual Credit for such Fiscal Year multiplied by 0.986
plus (B) the Recapture Amount as determined pursuant to Section
10.6 and, to the extent not already accounted for, any interest
or penalties payable by the limited partners and/or holders of
beneficial assignee certificates of the Investment Limited
Partner as a result of such shortfall or Recapture Event,
assuming that each limited partner and/or holder of a beneficial
assignee certificate in the Investment Limited Partner used all
of the Tax Credits allocated to it in the Fiscal Year of
allocation. The Auditors shall make their determination of the
amount of the Actual Credit with respect to each Reduction Year
within thirty (30) days following the end of such Fiscal Year.
The Investment Limited Partner shall be eligible to be paid a
Reduction Amount as hereinabove described with respect to each
Reduction Year. Any Reduction Amount shall first be applied to
the Installment next due to be paid by the Investment Limited
Partner, with any portion of such Reduction Amount in excess of
the amount of such Installment then being applied to succeeding
Installments, provided that if no further Installments remain to
be paid or if the Reduction Amount shall exceed the sum of the
amounts of the remaining Installments, then the entire Reduction
Amount or the balance of the Reduction Amount, as the case may
be, shall be paid by the General Partner to the Investment
Limited Partner promptly after demand is made therefor, as a
payment of damages for breach of warranty, regardless of the
reason for the occurrence of such event (unless such reduction
was caused by an act or omission of the Investment Limited
Partner or its Affiliates, in which event no Reduction Amount
shall be payable). No payment by the General Partner pursuant to
this Section 5.1(f) shall be deemed to be a Capital Contribution
to the Partnership nor shall any such payment constitute a return
of capital to the Investment Limited Partner.
(g) In the event that, for any reason, at any time after the end
of the Initial Operating Period, the amount of the Actual Credit
shall be less than the Projected Credit (or the Revised Projected
Credit, if applicable) with respect to any Fiscal Year of the
Partnership (such difference being hereinafter referred to as a
"Credit Shortfall"), the Investment Limited Partner shall be
treated as having made a constructive advance to the Partnership
with respect to such Fiscal Year (a "Credit Recovery Loan"),
which shall be deemed to have been made on January 1 of such
Fiscal Year in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Credit
Shortfall for such Fiscal Year plus (B) the Recapture Amount as
determined pursuant to Section 10.6 and, to the extent not
already accounted for, any interest or penalties payable by the
limited partners and/or the holders of beneficial assignee
certificates of the Investment Limited Partner as a result of the
Credit Shortfall for such Fiscal Year, assuming that each limited
partner and/or holder of a beneficial assignee certificate in the
Investment Partnership used all of the Tax Credits allocated to
him in the Fiscal Year of allocation. Credit Recovery Loans
shall be deemed to bear simple (not compounded) interest from the
respective dates on which such principal advances shall have been
deemed to have been made under this Section 5.1(g) at a rate of
nine percent (9%) per annum. Credit Recovery Loans shall be
payable by the Partnership as provided in Section 10.2(b), Clause
Third.
5.2. Return of Capital Contributions
(a) Failure to Achieve Development and/or Tax Credit Benchmarks
and Standards. Upon the occurrence of any of the events (a
"Repurchase Event") listed below in this Section 5.2(a), within
five (5) days of the occurrence thereof, the General Partner
shall send to the Investment Limited Partner and the Investment
Limited Partner notice of such event and of the General Partner's
obligation to repurchase the Interests of the Investment Limited
Partner by paying to the Investment Limited Partner an amount in
cash (the "Repurchase Amount") equal to each such Partner's
Invested Amount minus the portion, if any, of such Partner's
Capital Contribution which shall not yet have been paid (or
deemed to have been paid) to the Partnership plus the amount of
any third-party costs, including, without limitation, attorney's
fees incurred by or on behalf of such Partner in implementing
this Section 5.2(a) in the event the Investment Limited Partner
requires such a repurchase plus interest thereon at the AFR
commencing on the fifth (5th) day after delivery of the notice
referred to in the next sentence. If the Investment Limited
Partner elects to require a repurchase of its Interest and the
payment to it of an amount equal to its Repurchase Amount, it
shall send notice thereof to the Partnership within thirty (30)
days after the mailing date of the General Partner's notice, or
at any time after the occurrence of any of the foregoing if the
General Partner shall not have sent a notice thereof, and the
General Partner shall within ten (10) days after the Partnership
receives any such notice from a Partner requesting the purchase
of its Interest repurchase the Interest of such Partner by paying
to such Partner an amount equal to its Repurchase Amount. If,
following receipt of the General Partner's notice, the Investment
Limited Partner fails to send notice to the General Partner by
the end of such 30-day period requesting the General Partner to
purchase its Interest, the Investment Limited Partner, as the
case may be, shall be deemed to have waived its right to cause
the General Partner to purchase its Interest as a result of the
event described in the General Partner's notice. No such waiver,
however, shall affect the right of the Investment Limited Partner
to cause the General Partner to purchase its Interest upon the
occurrence of any other event described in this Section 5.2(a),
or upon any subsequent occurrence of the event described in the
General Partner's notice. The Repurchase Events are as follows:
(i) each of the buildings in the Apartment Complex shall not have
been placed in service by December 31, 2000 (for purposes of
satisfying the requirements of Section 42(h)(1)(E)(i) of the Code
with respect to the 1998 Tax Credit allocation); or
(ii) by December 31, 1999, the Completion Date shall not have
occurred; or
(iii) construction or operation of the Apartment Complex shall
have been enjoined by a final order (from which no further
appeals are possible) of a court having jurisdiction and such
injunction shall continue for a period of ninety (90) days; or
(iv) Permanent Mortgage Commencement shall not have been achieved
prior to June 1, 2000; or
(v) if at any time it shall be determined by the Service or by
the Tax Accountants that a Carryover Certification could not be
issued or was issued in error; or
(vi) State Designation shall not have occurred by December 31,
2000 (or any later date fixed by the General Partner with the
Consent of the Investment Limited Partner) and by said date the
General Partner shall not have made any payment as described in
the next to last sentence of Section 5.1(e) or, if the Investment
Limited Partner shall have elected to have all or a portion of
any payment under Section 5.1(e) applied toward future
Installment obligations of the Investment Limited Partner,
amendments to this Agreement shall not have been adopted and
filed in the Filing Office, reflecting such event; or
(vii) if by the date which is eighteen (18) months following the
Completion Date, Rental Achievement shall not have been achieved;
or
(viii) the Partnership shall fail to meet the Minimum Set-Aside
Test or the Rent Restriction Test by the close of the first year
of the Credit Period and/or fails to continue to meet either of
such tests at any time during the sixty (60)-month period
commencing on such date; or
(ix) (A) foreclosure proceedings shall have commenced under any
Mortgage and such proceedings shall not have been dismissed
within thirty (30) days, (B) any of the commitments of a Lender
to provide a Mortgage Loan and/or any subsidy financing shall be
terminated or withdrawn and not reinstated or replaced within
sixty (60) days with terms at least as favorable to the
Partnership or terms for which the Consent of the Investment
Limited Partner and any Requisite Approvals shall have been
obtained, or (C) the Construction Lender, acting in good faith
and in accordance with the provisions of the Construction Loan
Documents, shall have irrevocably refused to make any further
advances under the Construction Loan Documents and such decision
shall not have been reversed or the Construction Lender replaced
within thirty (30) days; or
(x) at any time the General Partner fails to advance Subordinated
Loans and such failure continues for ten (10) days; or
(xi) any action is commenced to foreclose any mechanics, or any
other lien (other than the lien of a Mortgage) against the
Apartment Complex and such action has not within thirty (30) days
been either bonded against in such a manner as to preclude the
holder of such lien from having any recourse to the Apartment
Complex or to the Partnership for payment of any debt secured
thereby, or affirmatively insured against by the title insurance
policy or an endorsement thereto issued to the Partnership by a
reputable title insurance company (which insurance company will
not have indemnity from or recourse against Partnership assets by
reason of any loss it may suffer by reason of such insurance) in
an amount satisfactory to the Investment Limited Partner; or
(xii) a casualty occurs resulting in substantial destruction of
all or a portion of the Apartment Complex, and the insurance
proceeds (if any) are insufficient to restore the Apartment
Complex or the Apartment Complex is not so restored within
twenty-four (24) months following such casualty; or
(xiii) if the Completion Date for the Apartment Complex is not on
or before December 16, 1999, unless the Zoning Approval deadline
is extended by the Governmental Authority.
(b) Lender/Agency Disapproval. If any Agency or Lender shall
disapprove, or fail to give any required approval of, the
Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner as
a Limited Partner hereunder within one hundred eighty (180) days
of the Admission Date, then the Partner being disapproved or not
approved shall, effective as of such time or such later time as
may be elected by the Partner being disapproved or not approved
as may be specified by such Agency or Lender in its disapproval,
at the option of the Partner being disapproved or not approved
(if not directed by such Agency or Lender to withdraw), cease to
be a Limited Partner. The General Partner shall, within ten (10)
days of the effective date of such cessation, pay to the Partner
being disapproved or not approved an amount equal to its Invested
Amount minus the amount, if any, of such Partner's Capital
Contribution which shall not yet have been paid (or deemed to
have been paid) to the Partnership plus the amount of any third
party costs, including, but not limited to attorney's fees,
incurred by or on behalf of such Partner in implementing this
Section 5.2(b).
(c) Substitution and Indemnification. Upon the receipt by the
Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner of
the amount due to it pursuant to either Section 5.2(a) or Section
5.2(b), the Interest of such Partner shall terminate, and the
General Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless such Partner
from and against any Adverse Consequences to which such Partner
(as a result of its participation hereunder) may be subject,
provided that such Adverse Consequences do not result from such
Partner's acts or omissions.
(d) Waiver of Repurchase Right. Each of the Investment Limited
Partner and the Special Limited Partner shall have the right to
irrevocably waive its right to have its Interest repurchased
pursuant to any clause or clauses of Section 5.2(a), or any
portion thereof, at any time during which any of such rights
shall be in effect. Such a waiver shall be exercised by delivery
to the General Partner of a written notice stating that the
rights being waived pursuant to any specified clause or clauses
of Section 5.2(a), or any specified portion thereof, are thereby
waived for a specified period of time.
(e) Additional General Partner. If the General Partner shall
fail to make on the due date therefor any payment required under
Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b), time being of the essence, at
any time thereafter the Special Limited Partner shall have the
option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to cause itself or
its designee to be admitted as an additional General Partner,
receiving from the existing General Partner, in consideration of
the payment of ten dollars ($10.00), a one one-hundredth of one
per cent (0.01%) interest in the Profits, Losses, Tax Credits and
distributions of the Partnership, with the Special Limited
Partner retaining its status as such and its economic interest in
the Partnership as the Special Limited Partner (or its designee
as an additional General Partner). If the Special Limited
Partner exercises the option described in this Section 5.2(e),
each of the other General Partner hereby agrees that all of its
rights and powers hereunder as a General Partner shall
automatically be irrevocably delegated to the Special Limited
Partner pursuant to Section 6.13 without the necessity of any
further action by any Partner. Each Partner hereby grants to the
Special Limited Partner an irrevocable (to the extent permitted
by applicable law) power of attorney coupled with an interest to
take any action and to execute, deliver and file or record any
and all documents and instruments on behalf of such Partner and
the Partnership as the Special Limited Partner may deem necessary
or appropriate in order to effectuate the provisions of this
Section 5.2(e) and to allow the additional General Partner to
manage the business of the Partnership. The admission of the
Special Limited Partner or its designee as an additional General
Partner shall not relieve any other General Partner of any of its
economic obligations hereunder, and each other General Partner
shall fully indemnify and hold harmless the additional General
Partner on an after-tax basis from and against any and all
Adverse Consequences sustained by such additional General Partner
in connection with its status as a General Partner (other than
Adverse Consequences arising solely from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such additional General Partner).

(xiii) to amend any Project Document, or to permit any party
thereunder to waive any provision thereof, to the extent that the
effect of such amendment or waiver would be to eliminate,
diminish or defer any obligation or undertaking of the
Partnership, the General Partner or its Affiliates which accrues,
directly or indirectly, to the benefit of, or provides additional
security or protection to, the Investment Limited Partner
(notwithstanding that the Investment Limited Partner is neither a
party to nor express beneficiary of such provision or was not a
partner when such provision became effective);
(xiv) to approve any changes to the Plans and Specifications for
the Apartment Complex which would result, either individually or
in the aggregate, in an overall development cost increase or
decrease in excess of $50,000;
(xv) to permit the merger, termination or dissolution of the
Partnership; or
(xvi) to do any act required to be approved or ratified by all
limited partners under the Act.
(b) In the event that any General Partner violates any provision
of Section 6.2(a), the Special Limited Partner in its sole
discretion and without prejudice to its rights under Sections
405(b) and 7.6(a), may cause itself or its designee to be
admitted as an additional General Partner without any further
action by any other Partner. Upon any such admission of an
additional General Partner, each existing General Partner shall
be deemed to have assigned proportionally to the additional
General Partner, automatically and without further action, such
portion of its General Partnership Interest so that the
additional General Partner shall receive not less than a one one-
hundredth of one percent (0.01%) interest in the Profits, Losses,
Tax Credits and distributions of the Partnership in consideration
of one dollar ($1.00) and any other consideration which may be
agreed upon. An additional General Partner so admitted shall
automatically become the Managing General Partner and shall be
irrevocably delegated all of the power and authority of all of
the General Partner pursuant to Section 6.13. Any such
additional General Partner shall have the right to withdraw as a
General Partner at any time, leaving the prior General Partner
once again as the only General Partner, the provisions of Article
VII notwithstanding. Each Partner hereby grants to the Special
Limited Partner a special power of attorney, irrevocable to the
extent permitted by law and coupled with an interest, to amend
this Agreement and to do anything else which, in view of the
Special Limited Partner, may be necessary or appropriate to
accomplish the purposes of this Section 6.2(b) or to enable any
additional General Partner admitted pursuant to this Section
6.2(b) to manage the business of the Partnership. The admission
of an additional General Partner shall not relieve any other
General Partner of any of its economic obligations hereunder, and
each other General Partner on an after-tax basis shall fully
indemnify and hold harmless the additional General Partner from
and against any and all Adverse Consequences sustained by the
additional General Partner in connection with its status as a
General Partner (other than Adverse Consequences arising solely
from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such additional
General Partner).
(c) Neither the Investment General Partner nor any Affiliate
thereof shall be given an exclusive right to sell, or exclusive
employment to sell, the Apartment Complex.
6.3. Personal Services; Other Business Ventures
No General Partner or Affiliate thereof shall receive any salary
or other direct or indirect compensation for any services or
goods provided in connection with the Partnership or the
Apartment Complex, except as may be specifically provided in
Section 6.12, Section 6.15 and Article XI or as to which the
Consent of the Special Limited Partner shall have been obtained
to the precise terms thereof prior to the commencement of such
services or the provision of such goods. Any Partner may engage
independently or with others in other business ventures of every
nature and description, including the ownership, operation,
management, syndication and development of real estate; neither
the Partnership nor any other Partner shall have any rights in
and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived
therefrom.
6.4. Business Management and Control
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the General
Partner shall have the exclusive right to control the business of
the partnership. If at any time there is more than one General
Partner, the powers and duties of the General Partners hereunder
shall be exercised in the first instance by a Managing General
Partner who, subject to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, shall manage the business and affairs of the
Partnership. The Managing General Partner may bind the
Partnership by executing and delivering, in the name and on
behalf of the Partnership, any documents which this Agreement
authorizes the General Partners to execute hereunder without the
requirement that any other General Partner execute such
documents. The initial Managing General Partner shall be MHT 13;
if it is unwilling or unable to serve in such capacity or shall
cease to be a General Partner, the remaining General Partners may
from time to time designate a new Managing General Partner. If
for any reason no designation is in effect, the powers of the
Managing General Partner shall be exercised by a majority in
interest of the General Partners. Any action required or
permitted to be taken by a corporate General Partner hereunder
may be taken by such of its proper officers or agents as it shall
validly designate for such purpose.
(b) The Managing General Partner shall have control over the
business of the Partnership and shall have all rights, powers and
authority conferred by law as necessary, advisable or consistent
in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Managing General Partner shall have the right,
power and authority to execute any documents relating to the
acquisition, financing, construction, operation and sale of all
or any portion of the Apartment Complex with the prior approval
of the other General Partners, if any. The Managing General
Partner shall be responsible for administering any construction
loan draw requests for the development of the Apartment Complex.
(c) Neither the Investment Limited Partner nor the Special
Limited Partner shall have any right to take part in the
management or control of the business of the Partnership or to
transact any business in the name of the Partnership. No
provision of this Agreement which makes the Consent of the
Investment Limited Partner or the Consent of the Special Limited
Partner a condition for the effectiveness of an action taken by
the General Partner is intended, and no such provisions shall be
construed, to give the Investment Limited Partner or the Special
Limited Partner, as the case may be, any participation in the
control of the Partnership business. Each of the Special Limited
Partner and the Investment Limited Partner hereby consents to the
exercise by the General Partner of the powers conferred on it by
law and this Agreement, and the General Partner agrees to
exercise control of the business of the Partnership only in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the provisions of
this Section 6.4 be invoked by any General Partner or by any
other Person as a defense against or as an impediment to the
ability of either the Investment Limited Partner or the Special
Limited Partner to take any action hereunder.
6.5. Duties and Obligations
(a) The General Partner shall manage the affairs of the
Partnership to the best of its ability, shall use its best
efforts to carry out the purpose of the Partnership, and shall
devote to the Partnership such time as may be necessary for the
proper performance of its duties and the business of the
Partnership. The General Partner shall promptly take all action
which may be necessary or appropriate for the proper development,
construction, maintenance and operation of the Apartment Complex
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Project
Documents and any applicable laws and Regulations. The General
Partner is responsible for the management and operation of the
Partnership, including the oversight of the rent-up and
operational stages of the Apartment Complex.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.5(g), the General
Partner shall use its diligent good faith efforts to cause the
Partnership to generate Cash Flow for distribution to the
Partners at the maximum realizable level in view of (i) any
applicable Regulations, (ii) the Minimum Set-Aside Test, (iii)
the Rent Restriction Test and (iv) the Projected Rents, and, if
necessary, the General Partner also shall use its best efforts to
obtain approvals and implementation of appropriate adjustments in
the rental schedule of the Apartment Complex.
(c) The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to obtain and
keep in force, during the term of the Partnership, insurance
policies in accordance with the Insurance Requirements set forth
on Exhibit D hereto. Throughout the term of the Partnership, the
General Partner shall provide copies of all such policies (or
binders) to the Investment Limited Partner within thirty (30)
days after their receipt thereof. The General Partner shall
cause the applicable insurer to name the Investment Limited
Partner as an "additional insured" on each Partnership insurance
policy. Each Partnership insurance policy shall include a
provision requiring the insurance company to notify the
Investment Limited Partner in writing no less than thirty (30)
days prior to any cancellation, non-renewal or material change in
the terms and conditions of coverage. The General Partner shall
review regularly all of the Partnership and Apartment Complex
insurance coverage to insure that it is adequate and continuing.
In particular, the General Partner shall review at least annually
the insurance coverage required by this Section 6.5(c) to insure
that it is in an amount at least equal to the then current full
replacement value of the Apartment Complex.
Without limitation of the foregoing, the General Partner shall
deliver to the Investment Limited Partner on or before the
Admission Date one or more certificates or memoranda of
insurance, in form reasonably acceptable to the Investment
Limited Partner, evidencing, (i) the existence of the insurance
policies and coverages specified on Exhibit D, (ii) that the
Partnership and its Partners (including the Investment Limited
Partner) are named insured on such policies, and (iii) that such
insurance policies will not be cancelled by the insurers except
with thirty (30) days' written notice to the Investment Limited
Partner. From time to time following the Admission Date, the
General Partner shall deliver to the Investment Limited Partner
such further certificates or memoranda of insurance as the
Investment Limited Partner may reasonably require to confirm that
such insurance and notice provisions with respect to insurance
under this Agreement have been complied with.
(d) If at any time there is more than one General Partner, the
obligations of the General Partners hereunder shall be the joint
and several obligations of each General Partner. Except as
otherwise provided in Sections 4.5(b) and 7.1, such obligations
shall survive any Withdrawal of a General Partner from the
Partnership.
(e) (i) The General Partner shall establish and maintain
reasonable reserves (the "Replacement Reserve") to provide for
working capital needs, improvements, replacements and any other
contingencies of the Partnership. Beginning with the Fiscal Year
in which Permanent Mortgage Commencement occurs, the General
Partner shall, at a minimum, cause the Partnership to annually
deposit from cash flow into the Replacement Reserve $16,800 or
$200 per unit on an annualized basis. To the extent that Cash
Flow (as determined before deduction of such reserve deposit) for
any Fiscal Year shall be insufficient to make such deposit in
full, the General Partner shall fund such shortfall from its own
funds as a Subordinated Loan.
(ii) In addition to the requirements of Section 6.5(e)(i), in
order to fund Operating Deficits, the General Partner (or its
designee), shall not later than the date on which the Second
Installment is paid to the Partnership deposit $50,000 into a
segregated reserve account (the "Operating Reserve") to secure
the General Partner's obligation to fund Operating Deficits.
Funds held in the Operating Reserve may be released to pay
operating expenses with the approval of the Special Limited
Partner. The funds, if any, remaining in the Operating Reserve
shall be returned to the General Partner (or its designee) in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 upon the later of
(A) the third (3rd) anniversary of Rental Achievement or (B) the
achievement of 93% occupancy in the Apartment Complex and a Debt
Service Coverage Ratio of 1.12 for a period of twelve (12)
consecutive months with each month considered individually. Any
funds utilized from the Operating Reserve to pay Partnership
operating expenses shall not constitute Subordinated Loans.
(iii) In addition to the requirements of Section 6.5(e)(i)
and (ii) above, in order to fund certain real property tax
payments, the General Partner (or its designee) shall not later
than the date on which the Third Installment is paid to the
Partnership deposit $100,000 into a segregated reserve account
(the "Property Tax Reserve") as additional security for the
General Partner's obligation to fund Operating Deficits. Funds
held in the Property Tax Reserve may be released and applied
toward payment of real property taxes or payments in lieu thereof
in accordance with Renaissance Zone requirements or the Tax
Abatement due for any Fiscal Year at the time such taxes become
due. The maximum amount to be released from the Property Tax
Reserve in any calendar year shall not exceed that amount
necessary for the Partnership to maintain a Debt Service Coverage
Ratio of 1.05/1.00 taking into account Cash Available for Debt
Service for the preceding year (including the Property Tax
Reserve after withdrawals for the current year) compared to
actual operating expenses (including Debt Service Requirements)
for the preceding Fiscal Year. Further, funds held in the
Property Tax Reserve may be released to apply toward Operating
Deficits with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner. The
funds, if any, remaining in the Property Tax Reserve at the end
of the initial Compliance Period shall be first applied toward
the payment of any outstanding amounts due on the Development
Fee, next to be returned to the General Partner (or its designee)
in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2. Any funds
utilized from the Property Tax Reserve to pay real property taxes
or Partnership operating expenses shall not constitute
Subordinated Loans.
(f) Each General Partner shall be bound by the provisions of the
Project Documents, and no additional General Partner shall be
admitted if he, she or it has not first agreed to be bound by
this Agreement (and assume the obligations of a General Partner
hereunder) and by the Project Documents to the same extent and
under the same terms as each of the other General Partners.
(g) The General Partner shall take all actions appropriate to
ensure that the Investment Limited Partner receives the full
amount of the Projected Credit, including, without limitation,
the rental of apartments to appropriate tenants and the filing of
annual certifications as may be required. In this regard, the
General Partner shall, inter alia, cause (i) the Partnership to
satisfy the Minimum Set-Aside Test, the Rent Restriction Test and
all other requirements imposed from time to time under the Code
with respect to rental levels and occupancy by qualified tenants
by the close of the first year of the Credit Period and
throughout the Compliance Period so as to permit the Partnership
to be entitled to the maximum available Tax Credit (ii) the
Partnership to comply with all Tax Credit monitoring procedures,
(iii) all dwelling units in the Apartment Complex to be leased
for initial periods of not less than six months to individuals
satisfying the Rent Restriction Test, (iv) the Partnership to
make all appropriate Tax Credit elections in a timely fashion,
and (v) all rental units in the Apartment Complex to be of equal
quality with comparable amenities available to low-income tenants
on a comparable basis without separate fees.
(h) On or before the Admission Date, the General Partner shall
provide to the Special Limited Partner either (i) an appraisal of
the Apartment Complex prepared by a competent independent
appraiser or (ii) completed FmHA Forms 1924-13 (estimate and
certificate of actual cost) and 1930-7 (statement of budget,
income and expense) or HUD project cost and budget analysis on
Form 2264, or any successor FmHA or HUD form, any comparable form
of a state or other Governmental Authority, including any
applicable Credit Agency, setting forth estimates with respect to
construction, rehabilitation and mortgage financing costs and
initial rental income and operating expense figures for the
Apartment Complex.
(i) The General Partner shall (i) not store or dispose of (except
in compliance with all laws, ordinances, and regulations
pertaining thereto) any Hazardous Material at the Apartment
Complex, or at or on any other Site or Vessel owned, occupied, or
operated either by any General Partner, any Affiliate of a
General Partner, or any Person for whose conduct any General
Partner is or was responsible; (ii) neither directly nor
indirectly transport or arrange for the transport of any
Hazardous Material (except in compliance with all laws,
ordinances, and regulations pertaining thereto); (iii) provide
the Investment Limited Partner with written notice (x) upon any
General Partner's obtaining knowledge of any potential or known
release, or threat of release, of any Hazardous Material at or
from the Apartment Complex or any other Site or Vessel owned,
occupied, or operated by any General Partner, any Affiliate of a
General Partner or any Person for whose conduct any General
Partner is or was responsible or whose liability may result in a
lien on the Apartment Complex; (y) upon any General Partner's
receipt of any notice to such effect from any federal, state, or
other Governmental Authority; and (z) upon any General Partner's
obtaining knowledge of any incurrence of any expense or loss by
any such government authority in connection with the assessment,
containment, or removal of any Hazardous Material for which
expense or loss any General Partner may be liable or for which
expense or loss a lien may be imposed on the Apartment Complex.
(j) The General Partner shall promptly request in writing of the
Permanent Lender that the Permanent Lender cause the Special
Limited Partner to be named as an "interested party" in the
Permanent Mortgage Loan Documents, so that the Permanent Lender
will notify the Special Limited Partner of any default under the
Permanent Mortgage or the General Partner shall itself notify the
Special Limited Partner of any such default.
(k) The General Partner shall provide the Special Limited Partner
with a true and accurate copy of each Construction Loan
requisition and any supporting documents and information which
has been submitted for approval by the Construction Lender
(whether submitted before or after the Admission Date).
(l) The General Partner shall have a fiduciary responsibility for
the safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the
Partnership, whether or not in its immediate possession or
control. The General Partner shall not employ, or permit another
to employ, such funds or assets in any manner except for the
exclusive benefit of the Partnership. No General Partner shall
contract away the fiduciary duty owed at common law to the
Limited Partners.

Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner as follows:

(a) Except as provided by Article V, no General Partner or any
Affiliate thereof shall have liability to the Partnership or to
any Limited Partner for any loss suffered by the Partnership
which arises out of any action or inaction of any General Partner
or Affiliate thereof if such General Partner or Affiliate thereof
in good faith determined that such course of conduct was in the
best interest of the Partnership and such course of conduct did
not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
General Partner or Affiliate thereof.

indemnified by the Partnership from and against any Adverse
Consequences sustained in connection with the business and
operations of the Partnership, provided that all of the following

Consequences were not the result of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of such General Partner or Affiliate
thereof; and (iii) such indemnification or agreement to hold

from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state
securities laws unless there has been a successful adjudication
on the merits of each count involving securities laws violations
as to the particular indemnitee and the court finds that
indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be
made. In any claim for indemnification for federal or state
securities law violations, the party seeking indemnification

place before the court the positions of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Massachusetts Securities Division and
any other applicable state securities administrator with respect
to the issue of indemnification for securities law violations.
(d) The Partnership shall not incur the cost of the portion of
any insurance, other than public liability insurance or course of
construction insurance, which insures any party against any
liability as to which such party is herein prohibited from being
indemnified.
(e) The Partnership may indemnify Affiliates of a General Partner
under this Section 6.8 only if the loss involves an activity in
which such Affiliates acted in the capacity of a General Partner.
(f) For purposes of this Section 6.8 only, the term "Affiliate"

shall mean the power to direct the management and policies of a
Person, directly or indirectly, whether through ownership of
voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
6.9. Indemnification of the Partnership and the Limited Partners
(a) The General Partner will indemnify and hold the Partnership

Complex is subject other than (x) any Mortgage or (y) necessary
contractual obligations incurred pursuant to the requirements of
any Agency or Lender in connection with the operation of the
Apartment Complex in the ordinary course of business.

liable to a Limited Partner or the Partnership for any act or
omission for which the Partnership is required to indemnify such

in the immediately preceding sentence may be defended,
compromised, settled, or pursued by the Limited Partners with
counsel of the Limited Partners' selection, but at the expense of
the General Partner. Notwithstanding anything else set forth
herein, this indemnification shall survive the withdrawal of any
General Partner and/or the termination of this Agreement.
6.10. Operating Deficits
Subject to any Requisite Approvals, the General Partner shall be
obligated during the period from and after Rental Achievement
(the "Subordinated Loan Period"), to promptly advance funds to
eliminate any Operating Deficit. In any case in which the
General Partner otherwise would be required to advance funds
under this Section 6.10, any amounts then held in the Operating
Reserve may be released and disbursed for the purpose of
eliminating the Operating Deficit before the General Partner
shall be required to advance their own funds. In the event that
the General Partner shall fail to make any such advance as
aforesaid, (a) the Partnership shall utilize amounts (the
"Applied Amounts") otherwise payable to the General Partner or
its Affiliates under Section 6.12 and/or Article X to meet the
obligations of the General Partner pursuant to this Section 6.10,
with such utilization of Applied Amounts constituting payment and
satisfaction of the corresponding amounts payable to the General
Partner or its Affiliates under Section 6.12 and/or Article X,
with the proceeds thereof being applied to such obligations, and
with the obligation of the Partnership to make such payments to
the General Partner or its Affiliates pursuant to Section 6.12
and/or Article X being deemed to have been satisfied to the
extent thereof and (b) the Special Limited Partner shall have the
option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to cause it or one or
more of its designees to be admitted to the Partnership as
additional General Partner(s). An additional General Partner so
admitted shall automatically, without the need for any further
action by any Partner, become the Managing General Partner and
shall be delegated all of the powers and authority of all of the
General Partners pursuant to Section 6.13, and each Partner
hereby grants to any such additional General Partner a power of
attorney, coupled with an interest and irrevocable to the extent
permitted by law, to execute and deliver any and all instruments
and documents which it believes to be necessary or appropriate in
order to accomplish the purposes of this Section 6.10 and to
manage the business of the Partnership. The admission of an
additional General Partner shall not relieve any other General
Partner of any of its economic obligations hereunder, and each
other General Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the
additional General Partner from and against any and all Adverse
Consequences sustained in connection with the additional General
Partner's status as a General Partner (other than Adverse
Consequences arising solely out of the negligence or misconduct
of such additional General Partner). For the purpose of this
Section 6.10, all expenses shall be paid on a sixty (60)-day
current basis. Moreover, the General Partner may in its sole
discretion at any time advance funds to the Partnership to pay
operating expenses and/or debt service of the Partnership in
order to facilitate the Partnership's compliance with the Rent
Restriction Test. All advances pursuant to Section 6.5(e) and
this Section 6.10 (including any Applied Amounts), except
advances from the Operating Reserve, shall constitute non-
interest-bearing Subordinated Loans. Subordinated Loans shall be
repaid in accordance with the provisions of Article X. The form
and provisions of all Subordinated Loans shall conform to any
applicable Regulations.
6.11. Obligation to Complete the Construction of the Apartment
Complex
(a) The Developer and the General Partner shall be obligated to
complete the construction of the Apartment Complex and achieve
Rental Achievement in the manner set forth in this Agreement and
the Development Agreement.
(b) The completion of the Apartment Complex shall be secured by a
completion bond in an amount not less than $4,296,782.
6.12. Certain Payments to the General Partner and Others
(a) As reimbursement for certain advances and as compensation for
the Developer's services in connection with the development and
construction of the Apartment Complex, the Partnership shall pay
to the Developer a development fee (the "Development Fee") in the
amount and at the times set forth in the Development Agreement.
If the Development Fee has not been fully paid by the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the Completion Date, the General Partner
shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount
sufficient to enable the Partnership to pay any unpaid portion of
the Development Fee.
(b) The Partnership shall pay to the Special Limited Partner or
an Affiliate thereof a fee (the "Asset Management Fee")
commencing in 2001 for its services in connection with the
Partnership's accounting matters relating to the Investment
Limited Partner and assisting with the preparation of tax
returns and the reports required by Section 12.7 in the annual
amount of $6,300. The Asset Management Fee shall be payable from
Cash Flow in the manner and priority set forth in Section
10.2(a); provided however, that if in any Fiscal Year, Cash Flow
is insufficient to pay the full amount of the Asset Management
Fee, the General Partner shall advance the amount of such
deficiency to the Partnership as a Subordinated Loan. If for any
reason the Asset Management Fee is not paid in any Fiscal Year,
the unpaid portion thereof shall accrue and be payable on a
cumulative basis in the first Fiscal Year in which there is
sufficient Cash Flow or Capital Proceeds as provided in Article
X.
(c) In consideration of the services of the General Partner in
managing the day-to-day business and affairs of the Partnership,
the Partnership shall pay to the General Partner an annual fee
(the "Partnership Management Fee") commencing in 2001 in the
amount of $6,300, payable from Cash Flow in the manner set forth
in Section 10.2(a). The Partnership Management Fee shall be
noncumulative so that if there is not sufficient Cash Flow in any
Fiscal Year to pay the amount of the Partnership Management Fee
specified for such use in Section 10.2(a), the Partnership shall
have no obligation to pay such shortfall in any future Fiscal
Year.
6.13. Delegation of General Partner Authority
(a) If there shall be more than one General Partner serving
hereunder, each General Partner may from time to time, by an
instrument in writing, delegate all or any of his powers or
duties hereunder to another General Partner or General Partners.
(b) Each contract, deed, mortgage, lease and other instrument
executed by any General Partner shall be conclusive evidence in
favor of every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that
at the time of the delivery thereof (i) the Partnership was in
existence, (ii) this Agreement had not been amended in any manner
so as to restrict the delegation of authority among General
Partners (except as shown in certificates or other instruments
duly filed in the Filing Office) and (iii) the execution and
delivery of such instrument was duly authorized by the General
Partners. Any Person may always rely on a certificate addressed
to him and signed by any General Partner hereunder:
(1) as to who are the General Partners or Limited Partners
hereunder;
(2) as to the existence or nonexistence of any fact which
constitutes a condition precedent to acts by the General Partners
or in any other manner germane to the affairs of the
Partnership;
(3) as to who is authorized to execute and deliver any
instrument or document of the Partnership;
(4) as to the authenticity of any copy of this Agreement and any
amendments thereto; or
(5) as to any act or failure to act by the Partnership or as to
any other matter whatsoever involving the Partnership or any
Partner.
6.14. Assignment to Partnership
The Developer and the General Partner hereby transfer and assign
to the Partnership all of their right, title and interest in and
to the Apartment Complex and in and to all of the Project
Documents, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) all
contracts with architects, supervising architects, engineers and
contractors with respect to the development of the Apartment
Complex; (ii) all plans, specifications and working drawings
heretofore prepared or obtained in connection with the Apartment
Complex; (iii) all governmental commitments and approvals
obtained, and applications therefore, including, but not limited
to those relating to planning, zoning, building permits and Tax
Credits; (iv) any and all commitments with respect to any
Mortgage(s); and (v) any and all contracts or rights with respect
to any agreements with any Agency or Lender.
6.15. Contracts with Affiliates
(a) The General Partner or any Affiliate thereof may act as
Management Agent upon the terms and conditions set forth in
Article XI.
(b) The General Partner or any Affiliates thereof shall have the
right to contract or otherwise deal with the Partnership for the
sale of goods or services to the Partnership in addition to those
set forth herein, if (i) compensation paid or promised for such
goods or services is reasonable (i.e., at fair market value) and
is paid only for goods or services actually furnished to the
Partnership, (ii) the goods or services to be furnished shall be
reasonable for and necessary to the Partnership, (iii) the fees,
terms and conditions of such transaction are at least as
favorable to the Partnership as would be obtainable in an arm's-
length transaction, and (iv) no agent, attorney, accountant or
other independent consultant or contractor who also is employed
on a full-time basis by the General Partner or any Affiliate
shall be compensated by the Partnership for his services. Any
contract covering such transactions shall be in writing and shall
be terminable without penalty on sixty (60) days written notice.
Any payment made to the General Partner or any Affiliate for such
goods or services shall be fully disclosed to all Limited
Partners in the reports required under Article XII. Neither the
General Partner nor any Affiliate shall, by the making of lump-
sum payments to any other Person for disbursement by such other
Person, circumvent the provisions of this Section 6.15(b).
6.16. Tax Matters Partner
(a) The General Partner hereby is designated as Tax Matters
Partner of the Partnership, and shall engage in such undertakings
as are required of the Tax Matters Partner of the Partnership as
provided in treasury regulations pursuant to Section 6231 of the
Code. Each Partner, by the execution of this Agreement, consents
to such designation of the Tax Matters Partner and agrees to
execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record
at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be
necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent.
(b) The Tax Matters Partner hereby is authorized, but not
required:
(i) to enter into any settlement agreement with the Service with
respect to any tax audit or judicial review, in which agreement
the Tax Matters Partner may expressly state that such agreement
shall bind the other Partners, except that such settlement
agreement shall not bind any Partner who (within the time
prescribed pursuant to the Code and treasury regulations
thereunder) files a statement with the Service providing that the
Tax Matters Partner shall not have the authority to enter into a
settlement agreement on the behalf of such Partner;
(ii) in the event that a notice of final administrative
adjustment at the Partnership level of any item required to be
taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes (a "Final
Adjustment") is mailed to the Tax Matters Partner, to seek
judicial review of such Final Adjustment, including the filing of
a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court, the District
Court of the United States for the district in which the
Partnership's principal place of business is located, or the
United States Claims Court;
(iii) to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for
judicial review of a Final Adjustment;
(iv) to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the
Service at any time and, if any part of such request is not
allowed by the Service, to file an appropriate pleading (petition
or complaint) for judicial review with respect to such request;
(v) to enter into an agreement with the Service to extend the
period for assessing any tax which is attributable to any item
required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes,
or an item affected by such item; and
(vi) to take any other action on behalf of the Partners or the
Partnership in connection with any administrative or judicial tax
proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or
Regulations.
(c) The Partnership shall indemnify and reimburse the Tax Matters
Partner for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees,
claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred in connection
with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to
the tax liability of the Partners. The payment of all such
expenses shall be made before any distributions are made from
Cash Flow or any discretionary reserves are set aside by the
General Partner. The General Partner shall have the obligation
to provide Partnership funds for such purpose, but only to the
extent of available Partnership resources. The taking of any
action and the incurring of any expense by the Tax Matters
Partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the
extent required by law, is a matter in the sole discretion of the
Tax Matters Partner and the provisions on limitations of
liability of the General Partner and indemnification set forth in
Section 6.8 of this Agreement shall be fully applicable to the
Tax Matters Partner in its capacity as such.
ARTICLE VII
Withdrawal of a General Partner; New General Partners
7.1. Voluntary Withdrawal
No General Partner shall have the right to Withdraw voluntarily
from the Partnership or to sell, assign or encumber its Interest
without the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner and each of
the other General Partners (if any) and, if required, any
Requisite Approvals.
7.2. Reconstitution
In the event of the Withdrawal of a General Partner, the
Partnership shall not be dissolved or required to be wound up if
(i) at the time of such Withdrawal there is at least one
remaining General Partner and that General Partner carries on the
business of the Partnership (any such remaining General Partner
being hereby authorized to carry on the business of the
Partnership), or (ii) within ninety (90) days after such
Withdrawal all remaining Partners agree in writing to continue
the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective
as of the date of such Withdrawal, of one or more additional
General Partners. Within ten (10) days after the occurrence of
such Withdrawal, the remaining General Partners, if any, shall
notify the Investment Limited Partner thereof:
(i) The reconstituted limited partnership shall continue until
the occurrence of a Liquidating Event as provided in Section 2.4;
(ii) If the successor General Partner is not a former General
Partner, then the provisions of Section 7.4(d) shall apply; and
(iii) All necessary steps shall be taken to cancel this Agreement
and the Certificate and to enter into a new partnership agreement
and certificate of limited partnership, and the successor General
Partner shall be obligated to take such steps.
7.3. Successor General Partner
(a) Upon the occurrence of any Withdrawal, the remaining General
Partners may designate a Person to become a successor General
Partner to the Withdrawing General Partner. Any Person so
designated, subject to any Requisite Approvals, the Consent of
the Investment Limited Partner and, if required by the Act or any
other applicable law, the consent of any other Partner so
required, shall become a successor General Partner upon his
written agreement to be bound by the Project Documents and by the
provisions of this Agreement.
(b) If any Withdrawal shall occur at a time when there is no
remaining General Partner and the Partners do not unanimously
elect to continue the business of the Partnership in accordance
with the provisions of clause (ii) of Section 7.2(a) above, then
the Investment Limited Partner shall have the right, subject to
any Requisite Approvals, to designate a Person to become a
successor General Partner upon his written agreement to be bound
by the Project Documents and by the provisions of this Agreement.
(c) If the Investment Limited Partner elects to reconstitute the
Partnership and admit a successor General Partner pursuant to
this Section 7.3, the relationship of the Partners in the
reconstituted Partnership shall be governed by this Agreement.
7.4. Interest of Predecessor General Partner
(a) No assignee or transferee of all or any part of the Interest
as a General Partner of a General Partner shall have any
automatic right to become a General Partner. Until the
acquisition of the Interest of a Withdrawing General Partner
pursuant to Section 7.4(d) or 7.6, such Interest shall be deemed
to be that of an assignee and the holder thereof shall be
entitled only to such rights as an assignee may have as such
under the laws of the State.
(b) Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding,
any General Partner who Withdraws voluntarily in violation of
Section 7.1 shall remain liable for all of its obligations under
this Agreement, for all its other obligations and liabilities
hereunder incurred or accrued prior to the date of its Withdrawal
and for any loss or damage which the Partnership or any of its
Partners may incur as a result of such Withdrawal (except as
provided in Section 6.8(a)).
(c) The estate (which term, for purposes of this Section 7.4(c),
shall include the heirs, distributees, estate, executors,
administrators, guardian, committee, trustee or other personal
representative) of a Withdrawn General Partner shall be liable
for all his liabilities and obligations hereunder, except as
provided in this Section 7.4(c). In the event of the death,
insanity or incompetency of a General Partner, his estate shall
remain liable for all of his obligations and liabilities
hereunder incurred or accrued prior to the date of such event,
and for any damages arising out of any breach of this Agreement
by him, but his estate shall not have any obligation or liability
on account of the business of the Partnership or the activities
of the other General Partners after his death, insanity or
incompetency unless it becomes a General Partner pursuant to
Section 7.3(a).
(d) The Disposition of the General Partner Interest of a General
Partner who or which Withdraws voluntarily in compliance with
this Agreement shall be accomplished in such manner as shall be
acceptable to the remaining General Partners and shall be
approved by Consent of the Investment Limited Partner. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, upon the Withdrawal of a
General Partner (other than a General Partner who or which is
removed as such pursuant to Section 4.5), such Withdrawn General
Partner shall be deemed to have automatically transferred to the
remaining General Partners, in proportion to their respective
General Partner Interests, or, if there shall be no remaining
General Partner, then to the Partnership for the benefit of the
remaining Partners, all or such portion of the General Partner
Interest of such Withdrawn General Partner which, when aggregated
with the existing General Partner Interests of all such remaining
General Partners, will be sufficient to assure such remaining
General Partners a one one-hundredth of one percent (0.01%)
interest in all Profits, Losses, Tax Credits and distributions of
the Partnership under Article X. No documentation shall be
necessary to effectuate such transfer, which shall be automatic,
and no consideration shall be payable therefor. For the purposes
of Article X, the effective date of the transfer pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 7.4(d) of the General Partner Interest
of a Withdrawn General Partner shall be deemed to be the date on
which such Withdrawal occurs. That portion of the General
Partner Interest (the "Remaining Interest") of the Withdrawing
General Partner which shall not have been transferred pursuant to
this Section 7.4(d) (except in respect of a removed General
Partner), shall be retained by such Withdrawing General Partner
(or pass to legal representatives thereof) who or which shall
have the status of a special Limited Partner, but with the right
to receive only that share of the Profits, Losses, Tax Credits
and distributions of the Partnership to which the Withdrawing
General Partner, as such, would have been entitled had he or it
remained, reduced to the extent of the General Partner Interest
transferred hereunder, but such Withdrawing Partner (or his or
its legal representatives, as the case may be) shall not be
considered to be a Special Limited Partner for the purpose of
exercising any rights reserved to the Special Limited Partner
under this Agreement or sharing the benefits allocated to the
Special Limited Partner under Article X hereof and shall not
participate in the votes or consents of the Limited Partners
hereunder; provided, however, that in the case of a General
Partner who or which Withdraws involuntarily without violation of
this Agreement, the Partnership shall have the option (but not
the obligation), exercisable by notice to the holder of such
Interest within six (6) months following the date of such
Withdrawal, to acquire the Remaining Interest of such Withdrawing
General Partner (or the Special Limited Partner Interest deriving
therefrom) in accordance with the valuation and payment
provisions of Section 7.6.
7.5. Amendment of Certificate; Approval of Certain Events
(a) Upon the admission of a new General Partner pursuant to the
preceding provisions of this Article VII, Schedule A shall be
amended to reflect such admission and an amendment to the
Certificate, also reflecting such admission, shall be filed as
required by the Act.
(b) Each Partner hereby consents to and authorizes any admission
or substitution of a General Partner or any other transaction,
including, without limitation, the continuation of the
Partnership business, which has been authorized under the
provisions of this Agreement, and hereby ratifies and confirms
each amendment of this Agreement necessary or appropriate to give
effect to any such transaction.
7.6. Valuation and Sale of Interest of Former General Partner
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.4(d), if the business
of the Partnership is continued after the Withdrawal of a General
Partner, or if, following such event, the Partnership is
reconstituted and continued, in each case as contemplated by this
Agreement, the Partnership shall purchase such General Partner's
Interest if such removal is without cause or if such Withdrawal
is not in violation of this Agreement (which term, and words of
like import, as used in this Section 7.6 shall refer only to the
"Remaining Interest" of such Withdrawing General Partner as
defined in Section 7.4(d) in all cases where applicable) each for
a price equal to the fair market value thereof. Such fair market
value shall be determined by two independent appraisers, one
selected by the former General Partner or its representative and
one by the Partnership. If such appraisers are unable to agree
on the value of the former General Partner's Interest, they shall
jointly appoint a third independent appraiser whose determination
shall be final and binding. The appraisers may act with or
without a hearing, and the cost of the appraisal will be shared
equally between such former General Partner and the Partnership.
If a General Partner is removed by the Investment Limited Partner
for cause, or if a General Partner has voluntarily withdrawn from
the Partnership in contravention of the terms of this Agreement,
the General Partner shall forfeit its Interest to the
Partnership, not as a penalty but as liquidated damages to
compensate the Partnership for the action of such General Partner
leading to its removal, or for the fact of its violation of the
terms of this Agreement.
(b) Promptly after the determination of the purchase price of a
former General Partner's Interest pursuant to Section 7.6(a), the
Partnership shall deliver to such former General Partner a
promissory note of the Partnership for such purchase price,
payable in five equal consecutive annual installments commencing
on the first anniversary of the date of such note. Such
promissory note shall bear simple interest at the rate per annum
which is at all times the AFR, payable on the last day of each
calendar quarter during which such note is outstanding. Within
one hundred twenty (120) days after the determination of the
purchase price of the former General Partner's Interest, the
Partnership may, with the consent of all remaining General
Partners and the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner, sell
such Interests to one or more Persons, who may be Affiliates of
the remaining General Partner or General Partners, and admit such
Person or Persons to the Partnership as substitute General
Partners; provided, however, that the purchase price to be paid
to the Partnership for the Interest of the former General Partner
shall not be less than its purchase price as determined by the
appraisal and, if applicable, arbitration described above. Such
substitute General Partners may pay said purchase price in
installments in the manner set forth above in this Section
7.6(b).
7.7. Designation of New General Partners
The General Partner may, with the written consent of all
Partners, at any time designate new General Partners, each with
such Interest as a General Partner in the Partnership as the
General Partner may specify, subject to any Requisite Approvals.
Any new General Partner shall, as a condition of receiving any
interest in the Partnership property, agree to be bound by the
Project Documents and any other documents required in connection
therewith and by the provisions of this Agreement, to the same
extent and on the same terms as any other General Partner.
ARTICLE VIII
Transferability of Limited Partner Interests
8.1. Assignments
(a) Except by operation of law (including the laws of descent and
distribution) or pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1(b), no
Limited Partner may assign all or any part of its Interest
without the written consent of the General Partner, the giving or
withholding of which is exclusively within its discretion.
(b) A Limited Partner, without the consent of the General
Partner, may assign to any Person all or any portion of the
economic benefits of the ownership of such Limited Partner's
Interest; provided, however, that such assignment shall not be
binding on the Partnership until there shall have been filed with
the Partnership by registered mail certified copies of an
executed and acknowledged assignment and the written acceptance
by the assignee of all the terms and provisions of this
Agreement; if such assignment and acceptance are not so filed,
the Partnership need not recognize such assignment for any
purpose. An assignee of a Limited Partner who does not become a
Substituted Limited Partner shall have the right to receive the
allocable share of any Profits, Losses, Tax Credits or
distributions of the Partnership to which the assigning Limited
Partner would have been entitled with respect to the Interest (or
portion thereof) so assigned if no such assignment had been made
by such Limited Partner. Any assigning Limited Partner whose
permitted assignee becomes a Substituted Limited Partner shall
thereupon cease to be a Limited Partner and shall no longer have
any of the rights or privileges of a Limited Partner. Where the
assignee does not become a Substituted Limited Partner, the
Partnership shall recognize such assignment not later than the
last day of the calendar month following receipt of notice of
assignment and all documentation required in connection
therewith.
(c) Each assignee of a Limited Partner Interest (or any portion
thereof) who desires to make a further assignment of its Interest
shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article VIII.
8.2. Substituted Limited Partner
(a) No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute an
assignee as Limited Partner in its place. Subject to the
provisions of Section 8.3, the General Partner may, in its sole
discretion, permit an assignee to become a Substituted Limited
Partner. The consent of the General Partner to an assignment of
a Limited Partner's Interest under Section 8.1 shall not, in and
of itself, constitute its consent to the admission of the
assignee as a Substituted Limited Partner under this Section 8.2.
(b) Any Substituted Limited Partner shall execute such instrument
or instruments as shall be required by the General Partner to
signify the agreement of such Substituted Limited Partner to be
bound by all the provisions of this Agreement and shall pay the
Partnership's reasonable legal fees and filing costs in
connection with its substitution as a Limited Partner.
8.3. Restrictions
(a) No Disposition of a Limited Partner Interest may be made if
such Disposition would violate the provisions of Sections 8.1,
8.2 or 13.1.
(b) In no event shall all or any part of a Limited Partner
Interest be Disposed of to a minor (other than to a descendant by
reason of death) or to an incompetent.
(c) The General Partner may, in addition to any other requirement
it may impose, require as a condition of any Disposition of a
Limited Partner Interest that the transferor (i) assume all costs
incurred by the Partnership in connection therewith and (ii)
furnish the Partnership and the other Partners with an opinion of
counsel satisfactory to counsel to the Partnership that such
Disposition complies with applicable federal and state securities
laws.
(d) Any sale, exchange, transfer or other Disposition of a
Limited Partner Interest in contravention of any of the
provisions of this Section 8.3 shall be void and ineffectual and
shall not bind or be recognized by the Partnership.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Article
VIII, if at any time there is more than one Investment Limited
Partner, each Investment Limited Partner shall have a right of
first refusal to purchase the Interest of any other Investment
Limited Partner who wishes to sell or otherwise transfer its
Interest at a price equal to and on terms identical to those of
the prospective purchaser thereof, to the extent reasonably
practical, and shall have at least fifteen (15) business days in
which to exercise such right after receiving notice thereof. If
there shall be more than two non-selling or transferring
Investment Limited Partners, each of which desires to exercise
such a right of first refusal, they may do so pro rata or, to the
extent one does not so desire to exercise such right, to the
extent of the entire Interest being so sold or transferred.
ARTICLE IX
Borrowings
All Partnership borrowings shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement and the Project Documents and may be made from any
source, including Partners and their Affiliates. Any Partnership
borrowings from any Partner shall be subject to any Requisite
Approvals. If any Partner shall lend any monies to the
Partnership, the amount of any such loan shall not increase such
Partner's Capital Contribution. If any Partner shall so lend
monies, each such loan (a "Voluntary Loan") shall be an
obligation of the Partnership and (except for Subordinated Loans)
shall be repayable to such Partner on the same basis and with the
same rate of interest as would be applicable to a comparable loan
to the Partnership from a third party. Funds advanced by the
General Partner to the Partnership as Subordinated Loans shall
not constitute borrowings for the purposes of this Article IX or
for any other purposes.
ARTICLE X
Profits, Losses, Tax Credits, Distributions and Capital Accounts
10.1. Profits, Losses and Tax Credits
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1(b) and Section
10.4, for each Partnership Fiscal Year or portion thereof, all
Operating Profits and Losses, tax-exempt income, losses, non-
deductible non-capitalizable expenditures and Tax Credits
incurred or accrued on or after the Commencement Date shall be
allocated ninety-nine and ninety-nine one-hundredths percent
(99.99%) to the Investment Limited Partner and one one-hundredth
of one percent (0.01%) to the General Partner, provided, however,
that in any Fiscal Year in which Operating Profits are generated,
such Operating Profits shall be allocated to and among the
Partners in the same percentages as distributions of Cash Flow
are made pursuant to Clause Sixth of Section 10.2(a).
(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Article,
all Profits and Losses arising from a Capital Transaction shall
be allocated to the Partners as follows:
As to Profits:
First, that portion of Profits (including any Profits treated as
ordinary income for federal income tax purposes) shall be
allocated to the Partners who have negative Capital Account
balances in proportion to the amounts of such balances, provided
that no Profits shall be allocated to a Partner under this Clause
First to increase any such Partner's Capital Account above zero;
and
Second, Profits in excess of the amounts allocated under Clause
First above shall be allocated to and among the Partners in the
same percentages as cash is distributed under Clauses Sixth,
Seventh and Eighth of Section 10.2(b);
As to Losses:
First, an amount of Losses shall be allocated to the Partners to
the extent and in such proportions as shall be necessary such
that, after giving effect thereto, the respective balances in all
Partners' Capital Accounts shall be in the ratio of 99.99% for
the Investment Limited Partner and 0.01% for the General Partner;
Second, an amount of Losses shall be allocated to the Partners
until the balance in each Partner Capital Account equals the
amount of such Partner's Capital Contribution (after the
allocation under Clause First above);
Third, an amount of Losses shall be allocated to the Partners to
the extent of and in proportion to such Partners' Capital Account
balances (after the allocations under Clauses First and Second
above); and
Fourth, any remaining amount of Losses after the allocation under
Clauses First, Second and Third above shall be allocated to the
Partners in accordance with the manner in which they bear the
Economic Risk of Loss associated with such Loss; provided,
however, that in the event that no Partner bears an Economic Risk
of Loss then any remaining Losses shall be allocated 99.99% to
the Investment Limited Partner and 0.01% to the General Partner.
10.2. Cash Distributions Prior to Dissolution
(a) Cash Flow
Subject to any Requisite Approvals, Cash Flow for each Fiscal
Year or portion thereof shall be applied as follows:
First, to the payment of the Asset Management Fee for such Fiscal
Year and for any previous Fiscal Year(s) as to which the Asset
Management Fee shall not yet have been paid in full;
Second, to the payment of any unpaid portion of the Development
Fee;
Third, to the repayment of any Subordinated Loans;
Fourth, to the distribution to the General Partner (or its
designee) of any portion of the Operating Reserve which may be
released and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6.5(e)(ii);
Fifth, to the payment of the Partnership Management Fee for such
Fiscal Year and for any previous Fiscal Year(s) as to which the
Partnership Management Fee shall not yet have been paid in full;
and
Sixth, the balance thereof, if any, shall be distributed
annually, seventy-five (75) days after the end of the Fiscal
Year, 25% to the Investment Limited Partner and 75% to the
General Partner.
(b) Distributions of Capital Proceeds
Prior to dissolution, if Capital Proceeds are available for
distribution from a Capital Transaction, such Capital Proceeds
shall be applied or distributed as follows:
First, to the payment of all matured debts and liabilities of the
Partnership (including, but not limited to, all expenses of the
Partnership incident to such Capital Transaction), excluding (i)
debts and liabilities of the Partnership to Partners or their
Affiliates, (ii) all unpaid fees owing to the General Partner or
its Affiliates and (iii) notes delivered and payable pursuant to
Section 7.6(b); and to the establishment of any reserves which
the General Partner and the Auditors shall deem reasonably
necessary for contingent, unmatured or unforeseen liabilities or
obligations of the Partnership;
Second, to the payment of any accrued and unpaid Asset Management
Fees;
Third, to the payment to the Investment Limited Partner of the
full amount (including interest) of any Credit Recovery Loans;
Fourth, to the repayment of any Subordinated Loans;
Fifth, to the repayment of any remaining unpaid debts and
liabilities owed to Partners or Affiliates thereof by the
Partnership for Partnership obligations (exclusive of Credit
Recovery Loans and Subordinated Loans) to any of them, including,
but not limited to, accrued and unpaid amounts due in respect of
any and all fees (including but not limited to the Development
Fee) due and payable to the General Partner or its Affiliates as
set forth in Section 6.12; provided, however, that any debts or
obligations to be repaid to any Limited Partner or Affiliate
thereof pursuant to this Clause Fifth shall be repaid prior to
the repayment of any such debts or obligations to any General
Partner or Affiliate thereof;
Sixth, to the payment to each Limited Partner of an amount equal
to its Invested Amount, in each case minus any prior
distributions made to such Partner under this Clause Sixth, but
never an amount less than zero;
Seventh, to the payment to each General Partner of an amount
equal to its Invested Amount in each case minus any prior
distributions made to such Partner under this Clause Seventh, but
never an amount less than zero;
Eighth, subject to the provisions of Section 10.3(a), any balance
24.999% to the Investment Limited Partner, .001% to the Special
Limited Partner and 75% to the General Partner.
10.3. Distributions Upon Dissolution
(a) Upon dissolution and termination, after payment of, or
adequate provision for, the debts and obligations of the
Partnership, the remaining assets of the Partnership shall be
distributed to the Partners in accordance with the positive
balances in their Capital Accounts after taking into account all
Capital Account adjustments for the Partnership Fiscal Year,
including adjustments to Capital Accounts pursuant to Sections
10.1(b) and 10.3(b). In the event that a General Partner has a
negative balance in its Capital Account following the liquidation
of the Partnership or such Partner's Interest, after taking into
account all Capital Account adjustments for the Partnership
Fiscal Year in which such liquidation occurs, such Partner shall
pay to the Partnership in cash an amount equal to the negative
balance in such Partner's Capital Account. Such payment shall be
made by the end of such Fiscal Year (or, if later, within ninety
(90) days after the date of such liquidation) and shall, upon
liquidation of the Partnership, be paid to recourse creditors of
the Partnership or distributed to other Partners in accordance
with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts.
(b) With respect to assets distributed in kind to the Partners in
liquidation or otherwise, (i) any unrealized appreciation or
unrealized depreciation in the values of such assets shall be
deemed to be Profits and Losses realized by the Partnership
immediately prior to the liquidation or other distribution event;
and (ii) such Profits and Losses shall be allocated to the
Partners in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1(b),
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.
For the purposes of this Section 10.3(b), the terms "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 associated financing
(but subject to the provisions of Section 7701(g) of the Code),
and the Partnership's adjusted basis for such assets as
determined under the applicable provisions of the Allocation
Regulations. This Section 10.3(b) is merely intended to provide
a rule for allocating unrealized gains and losses upon
liquidation or other distribution event, and nothing contained in
this Section 10.3(b) or elsewhere herein 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
appraiser to be selected by the General Partner with the Consent
of the Special Limited Partner.
10.4. Special Provisions
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Profits,
tax-exempt income, Losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable
expenditures, Tax Credits and cash distributions shared by a
class of Partners shall be shared by each Partner in such class
in the ratio of such Partner's paid-in Capital Contribution to
the paid-in Class Contribution of the class of Partners of which
such Partner is a member.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article X:
(i) If (a) the Partnership incurs recourse obligations or Partner
Nonrecourse Debt (including, without limitation, Voluntary Loans
or Subordinated Loans) or (b) the Partnership incurs Losses from
extraordinary events which are not recovered from insurance or
otherwise (collectively "Recourse Obligations") in respect of any
Partnership Fiscal Year, then the calculation and allocation of
Profits and Losses shall be adjusted as follows: first, an
amount of deductions attributable to the Recourse Obligations
shall be allocated to the General Partner; and second, the
balance of such deductions shall be allocated as provided in
Section 10.1(a).
(ii) If any Profits arise from the sale or other disposition of
any Partnership asset which shall be treated as ordinary income
under the depreciation recapture provisions of the Code, then the
full amount of such ordinary income shall be allocated among the
Partners in the proportions that the Partnership deductions from
the depreciation giving rise to such recapture were actually
allocated. In the event that subsequently-enacted provisions of
the Code result in other recapture income, no allocation of such
recapture income shall be made to any Partner who has not
received the benefit of those items giving rise to such other
recapture income.
(iii) If the Partnership shall receive any purchase money
indebtedness in partial payment of the purchase price of the
Apartment Complex and such indebtedness is distributed to the
Partners pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.2(b) or Section
10.3, the distributions of the cash portion of such purchase
price and the principal amount of such purchase money
indebtedness hereunder shall be allocated among the Partners in
the following manner: On the basis of the sum of the principal
amount of the purchase money indebtedness and cash payments
received on the sale (net of amounts required to pay Partnership
obligations and fund reasonable reserves), there shall be
calculated the percentage of the total net proceeds distributable
to each class of Partners based on Section 10.2(b) or Section
10.3, as applicable, treating cash payments and purchase money
indebtedness principal interchangeably for this purpose, and the
respective classes shall receive such respective percentages of
the net cash purchase price and purchase money principal.
Payments on such purchase money indebtedness retained by the
Partnership shall be distributed in accordance with the
respective portions of principal allocated to the respective
classes of Partners in accordance with the preceding sentence,
and if any such purchase money indebtedness shall be sold, the
sale proceeds shall be allocated in the same proportion.
(iv) Income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any asset
which has a variation between its basis computed in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the Allocation Regulations and
its basis computed for federal income tax purposes shall be
shared among the Partners so as to take account of such variation
in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of
the Code and Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) of the Allocation
Regulations.
(v) The terms "Profits" and "Losses" used in this Agreement shall
mean income and losses, and each item of income, gain, loss,
deduction or credit entering into the computation thereof, as
determined in accordance with the accounting methods followed by
the Partnership and computed in accordance with Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Profits and Losses for
federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner
as set forth in this Article X, except as provided in Section
10.4(b)(iv).
(vi) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated 0.01% to the
General Partner and 99.99% to the Investment Limited Partner.
(vii) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to and
among the Partners in the manner provided in the Allocation
Regulations.
(viii) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4(b)(xix), if
there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for a
Partnership Fiscal Year, the Partners shall be allocated items of
Partnership income and gain in accordance with the provisions of
Section 1.704-(2)(f) of the Allocation Regulations.
(ix) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4(b)(xix), if there
is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for a
Partnership Fiscal Year then any Partner with a Share of such
Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be allocated items of
Partnership income and gain in accordance with the provisions of
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Allocation Regulations.
(x) Subject to the provisions of 10.4(b)(vi) through 10.4(b)(ix)
above, in the event that any Limited Partner unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described
in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Allocation
Regulations, 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 Allocation
Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Limited
Partner as quickly as possible. This Section 10.4(b)(x) is
intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" provision
within the meaning of the Allocation Regulations and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith.
(xi) Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.4(b)(vi) through
10.4(b)(x) above, in no event shall any Limited Partner be
allocated Losses which would cause it to have an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit as of the end of any Partnership Fiscal Year.
Any Losses which are not allocated to a Limited Partner by reason
of the application of the provisions of this Section 10.4(b)(xi)
shall be allocated to the General Partner.
(xii) Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.4(b)(vi) through
10.4(b)(xi) above, in the event that any Limited Partner has an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Partnership
Fiscal Year, items of Partnership income and gain shall be
specially allocated to each such Limited Partner in the amount of
such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.
(xiii) Syndication Expenses for any Fiscal Year or other period
shall be specially allocated to the Investment Limited Partner.
(xiv) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, Tax
Credits or any other items allocable to any period, Profits,
Losses, Tax Credits and any such other items shall be determined
on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General
Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and
the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(xv) To the extent that interest on loans (or other advances
which are deemed to be loans) made by a General Partner to the
Partnership is determined to be deductible by the Partnership in
excess of the amount of interest actually paid by the
Partnership, such additional interest deduction(s) shall be
allocated solely to such General Partner.
(xvi) [Intentionally Omitted]
(xvii) For purposes of determining each Partner's proportionate
share of the excess Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership
pursuant to Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Allocation Regulations,
the Investment Limited Partner shall be deemed to have a 99.99%
interest in Profits and the General Partner shall be deemed to
have a 0.01% interest in Profits.
(xviii) Any recapture of any Tax Credit shall be allocated to and
among the Partners in the same manner in which the Partners share
the expenditures giving rise to such Tax Credit.
(xix) If for any Fiscal Year the application of the minimum gain
chargeback provisions of Section 10.4(b)(viii) or Section
10.4(b)(ix) of this Agreement would cause distortion in the
economic arrangement among the Partners and it is not expected
that the Partnership will have sufficient other income to correct
that distortion, the General Partner may request a waiver from
the Commissioner of the Service of the application in whole or in
part of Section 10.4(b)(viii) or Section 10.4(b)(ix) in
accordance with Section 1.704-2(f)(4) of the Allocation
Regulations. Furthermore, if additional exceptions to the
minimum gain chargeback requirements of the Allocation
Regulations have been provided through revenue rulings or other
Service pronouncements, the General Partner is authorized to
cause the Partnership to take advantage of such exceptions if to
do so would be in the best interest of a majority in interest of
the Partners.
(xx) In the event that any fee payable to any General Partner or
any Affiliate thereof shall instead be determined to be a non-
deductible, non-capitalizable distribution from the Partnership
to a Partner for federal income tax purposes, then there shall be
allocated to such General Partner an amount of gross income equal
to the amount of such distribution.
(xxi) In applying the provisions of Article X with respect to
distributions and allocations, the following ordering of
priorities shall apply:
(1) Capital Accounts shall be deemed to be reduced by Qualified
Income Offset Items.
(2) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by distributions of Cash
Flow under Clause Sixth of Section 10.2(a).
(3) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by distributions of
Capital Proceeds under Clauses Sixth, Seventh, or Eighth of
Section 10.2(b).
(4) Capital Accounts shall be increased by any minimum gain
chargeback under Section 10.4(b)(viii) or Section 10.4(b)(ix).
(5) Capital Accounts shall be increased by any qualified income
offset required under Section 10.4(b)(x).
(6) Capital Accounts shall be increased by allocations of
Operating Profits under Section 10.1(a).
(7) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by allocations of
Operating Losses under Section 10.1(a).
(8) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by allocations of Losses
under Section 10.1(b).
(9) Capital Accounts shall be increased by allocations of
Profits under Section 10.1(b).
(xxii) To the maximum extent permitted under the Code,
allocations of Profits and Losses shall be modified so that the
Partners' Capital Accounts reflect the amount they would have
reflected if adjustments required by Sections 10.4(b)(x),
10.4(b)(xi) and 10.4(b)(xii) had not occurred.
10.5. Authority of the General Partner to Vary Allocations to
Preserve and Protect the Partners' Intent
(a) It is the intent of the Partners that each Partner's
distributive share of Profits, tax-exempt income, Losses, non-
deductible non-capitalizable expenditures and Tax Credits (and
items thereof) shall be determined and allocated in accordance
with this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by Section
704(b) of the Code and the Allocation Regulations. In order to
preserve and protect the determinations and allocations provided
for in this Agreement, the General Partner is hereby authorized
and directed to allocate Profits, tax-exempt income, Losses, non-
deductible non-capitalizable expenditures and credits (and items
thereof) arising in any Fiscal Year differently than otherwise
provided for in this Agreement to the extent that allocating
Profits, tax-exempt income, Losses, non-deductible non-
capitalizable expenditures or credits (or any item thereof) in
the manner provided for herein would cause the determinations and
allocations of each Partner's distributive share of Profits, tax-
exempt income, Losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable
expenditures or credits (or any item thereof) not to be permitted
by Section 704(b) of the Code. Any allocation made pursuant to
this Section 10.5 shall be deemed to be a complete substitute for
any allocation otherwise provided for in this Agreement, and no
amendment of this Agreement or approval of any Partner shall be
required.
(b) In making any allocation (the "New Allocation") under Section
10.5(a), the General Partner is authorized to act only after
having been advised in writing by the Tax Accountants that, under
Section 704(b) of the Code and/or the Allocation Regulations, (i)
the New Allocation is necessary, and (ii) the New Allocation is
the minimum modification of the allocations otherwise provided
for in this Agreement necessary in order to assure that, either
in the then-current Fiscal Year or in any preceding Fiscal Year,
each Partner's distributive share of Profits, tax-exempt income,
Losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable expenditures and Tax
Credits (or any item thereof) is determined and allocated in
accordance with this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by
Section 704(b) of the Code and the Allocation Regulations.
(c) If the General Partner is required by Section 10.5(a) to make
any New Allocation in a manner less favorable to the Limited
Partners than is otherwise provided for herein, then the General
Partner is authorized and directed, only after having been
advised in writing by the Tax Accountants that such an allocation
is permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code and the Allocation
Regulations, to allocate Profits, tax-exempt income, Losses, non-
deductible non-capitalizable expenditures and credits (and any
item thereof) arising in later years in such manner so as to
bring the allocations of Profits, tax-exempt income, Losses, non-
deductible non-capitalizable expenditures and credits (and each
item thereof) to the Limited Partners as nearly as possible to
the allocations thereof otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) New Allocations made by the General Partner under Section
10.5(a) and Section 10.5(c) in reliance upon the advice of the
Tax Accountants shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the
fiduciary obligation of the General Partner to the Partnership
and the Limited Partners, and no such allocation shall give rise
to any claim or cause of action by any Limited Partner.
10.6. Recapture Amount
(a) If at any time during the "compliance period" (as defined in
Section 42(i)(1) of the Code), the Apartment Complex ceases to be
a "qualified low income housing project" (as defined in Section
42(g)(1) of the Code) or any Low-Income Unit in the Apartment
Complex ceases to be a "low income unit" (as defined in Section
42(i)(3) of the Code), and as a result thereof all or any portion
of credits allowed to the Partnership and its Partners under
Section 42 of the Code are subject to recapture pursuant to
Section 42(j) of the Code (such an occurrence being referred to
herein as a "Recapture Event"), the Investment Limited Partner
shall become entitled to additional cash distributions equal to
the "Recapture Amount".
(b) The Recapture Amount is an amount that, after deduction of
all federal income taxes payable by the Investment Limited
Partner (or its partners) as computed under Section 10.6(d)
below, is equal the sum of (i) the "credit recapture amount"
allocable to the Investment Limited Partner as defined in Section
42(j) of the Code plus (ii) the amount of credits allocable to
the Investment Limited Partner which are disallowed in the year
of the Recapture Event and in each subsequent year.
(c) Any Recapture Amount distributable to the Investment Limited
Partner pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall be distributed
as funds become available for such distributions, but such
distributions shall not be made prior to (i) in the case of the
"credit recapture amount", the year of the Recapture Event and
(ii) in the case of any credits disallowed with respect to any
year subsequent to the Recapture Event, in each such subsequent
year.
(d) Determination of the Recapture Amount shall be made on the
assumption that receipt or accrual by each partner of the
Investment Limited Partner of any amounts distributable to such
partner under Subsection (c) above will currently be subject to
United States federal income tax at the highest marginal rate
applicable to corporations for the year(s) in question (and
assuming the non-applicability of the alternative minimum tax).
(e) All computations required under this Section 10.6 shall be
made reasonably by the Investment Limited Partner, and the
results of such computations, together with a statement
describing in reasonable detail the manner in which such
computations were made, shall be delivered to the Managing
General Partner in writing. Within fifteen (15) days following
receipt of such computation, the Managing General Partner may
request that the Auditors determine whether such computations are
reasonable and are not erroneous. If the Auditors determine that
such computations are unreasonable or contain errors, then the
Auditors shall determine what they believe to be the appropriate
computations. If the Investment Limited Partner does not agree
with the determination of the Auditors, then another accounting
firm other than the Auditors to be selected jointly by the
Investment Limited Partner and the Managing General Partner or,
if they cannot agree, by the American Arbitration Association,
from among the ten largest national accounting firms, shall make
such computations. The computations of the Investment Limited
Partner, the Auditors, or the other accounting firm so selected,
whichever is applicable, shall be final, binding and conclusive
upon the parties. All fees and expenses payable to an accounting
firm other than the Auditors under this paragraph shall be borne
solely by the Managing General Partner. All fees and expenses
payable to the American Arbitration Association shall be borne
equally by the General Partner and the Investment Limited
Partner.
ARTICLE XI
Management Agent
11.1. General
The General Partner shall engage the Management Agent to manage
the Apartment Complex pursuant to the Management Agreement. The
Management Agent shall receive a Management Fee of those amounts
payable from time to time by the Partnership to the Management
Agent for management services in accordance with a management
contract approved by any Agency or Lender with the right to
approve the same, or, when any such management contract is not
subject to the approval of any Agency or Lender, in accordance
with a reasonable and competitive fee arrangement. The initial
Management Agent shall be Southeastern Michigan Housing, L.L.C.
From and after the Admission Date, the Partnership shall not
enter into any Management Agreement or modify or extend any
Management Agreement unless (i) the General Partner shall have
obtained the prior Consent of the Special Limited Partner to the
identity of the Management Agent and the terms of the Management
Agreement or the modification or extension thereof and (ii) such
new Management Agreement or modified or extended Management
Agreement provides that it is terminable by the Partnership on
thirty (30) days' notice by the Partnership in the event of any
change in the identity of the General Partner. The Management
Agent shall maintain insurance in accordance with the applicable
Insurance Requirements set forth in Exhibit D. Copies of such
policies (or binders) shall be provided to the Partnership and
the Investment Limited Partner within thirty (30) days after the
effective date of the Management Agreement and annually
thereafter.
11.2. Fees
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1, however, should
the Investment General Partner or an Affiliate thereof perform
property management services for the Partnership, property
management, rent-up or leasing fees shall be paid to the
Investment General Partner or such Affiliate only for services
actually rendered and shall be in an amount equal to the lesser
of (i) fees competitive in price and terms with those of non-
affiliated Persons rendering comparable services in the locality
where the Apartment Complex is located and which could reasonably
be available to the Partnership, or (ii) five percent (5%) of the
gross revenues of the Apartment Complex. No duplicate property
manager fees shall be paid to any Person.
11.3. Removal and Replacement
If (i) the Apartment Complex shall be subject to a substantial
building code violation which shall not have been cured within
six (6) months after notice from a Governmental Authority or (ii)
the Partnership shall not have achieved a 1.10 to 1.00 Debt
Service Coverage Ratio during any Fiscal Year commencing on
January 1, 2002, or (iii) an Event of Bankruptcy shall occur with
respect to the Management Agent, or (iv) the Management Agent
shall commit willful misconduct or gross negligence in its
conduct of its duties and obligations under the Management
Agreement or (v) there is any change in the Persons acting as
General Partners (to which the Special Limited Partner has not
consented), or (vi) the Management Agent is cited by the Credit
Agency or any other Tax Credit monitoring or compliance agency of
the State or any other Governmental Authority for a violation or
alleged violation of any applicable rules, regulations or
requirements, including, without limitation, non-compliance with
the Minimum Set-Aside Test, the Rent Restriction Test or any
other Tax Credit-related provision, then, upon request by the
Special Limited Partner and subject to Agency and Lender
approval, if required, the General Partner shall cause the
Partnership to promptly terminate the Management Agreement with
the Management Agent and appoint a new Management Agent selected
by the Special Limited Partner, which new Management Agent shall
not be an Affiliate of a General Partner. Each General Partner
hereby grants to the Special Limited Partner an irrevocable (to
the extent permitted by applicable law) power of attorney coupled
with an interest to take any action and to execute and deliver
any and all documents and instruments on behalf of such General
Partner and the Partnership as the Special Limited Partner may
deem to be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the
provisions of this Article XI. Subject to any Requisite
Approvals, the Partnership shall not enter into any future
management arrangement or renew or extend any existing management
arrangement unless such arrangement is terminable without penalty
upon the occurrence of the events described in this Article XI.
11.4. Lack of Management Agent
The General Partner shall have the duty to manage the Apartment
Complex during any period when there is no Management Agent.
ARTICLE XII
Books and Records, Accounting, Tax Elections, Etc.
12.1. Books and Records
The Partnership shall maintain all books and records which are
required under the Act or by any Governmental Authority and may
maintain such other books and records as the General Partner in
its discretion deems advisable. Each Limited Partner, or its
duly authorized representatives, shall have access to the records
of the Partnership at the principal office of the Partnership at
any and all reasonable times, and may inspect and copy any of
such records. A list of the name and addresses of all of the
Limited Partners shall be maintained as part of the books and
records of the Partnership and shall be mailed to any Limited
Partner upon request. The Partnership may require reimbursement
for any out of pocket expenses which it incurs as a result of the
exercise by any Limited Partner of its rights under this Section
12.1, including, without limitation, photocopying expenses.
12.2. Bank Accounts
The bank accounts of the Partnership shall be maintained in the
Partnership's name with such financial institutions as the
General Partner shall determine. Withdrawals shall be made only
in the regular course of Partnership business on such signature
or signatures as the General Partner may determine. All deposits
(including security deposits and other funds required to be
escrowed by any Lender or Agency) and other funds not needed in
the operation of the business shall be deposited, if required by
applicable law and to the extent permitted by applicable Agency
or Lender requirements, in interest bearing accounts or invested
in United States Government obligations maturing within one year.
12.3. Auditors
(a) The Auditors shall prepare, for execution by the General
Partner, all tax returns of the Partnership. Prior to the filing
of the Partnership tax returns, and in no event later than
February 1 of each Fiscal Year, the Auditors shall deliver the
tax returns for the prior Fiscal Year to the Tax Accountants for
their review and comment. If a dispute arises between the
Auditors and the Tax Accountants over the proper preparation of
the tax returns and such dispute cannot be resolved by the
Auditors and the Tax Accountants by March 1 of such Fiscal Year,
then the Tax Accountants shall make the final decision with
respect to whether any changes are necessary. The Partnership
shall reimburse the Investment Limited Partner and its Affiliates
for all costs and expenses paid to the Tax Accountants for the
aforementioned services.
(b) The Auditors shall certify all annual financial reports to
the Partners in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.
(c) If the Partnership fails to fulfill any of its obligations
under Section 12.7(a)(i) and/or Section 12.7(a)(ii) within the
time periods set forth therein, at any time thereafter upon
written notice from the Special Limited Partner, the General
Partner shall appoint replacement Auditors. If no such notice
from the Special Limited Partner is delivered, the Consent of the
Special Limited Partner must be received to the appointment of
replacement Auditors. If the General Partner fails to appoint
replacement Auditors within thirty (30) days of the notice from
the Special Limited Partner to replace the Auditors, then the
Special Limited Partner shall appoint replacement Auditors of its
own choosing, the cost of which shall be borne by the Partnership
as a Partnership expense. All of the Partners hereby grant to
the Special Limited Partner a special power of attorney,
irrevocable to the extent permitted by law, coupled with an
interest, to so appoint replacement Auditors and to anything else
which in the judgment of the Special Limited Partner may be
necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this
Section 12.3(c).
(d) On or prior to the date which is thirty (30) days after the
Admission Date, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership
(i) in writing, to engage the Auditors to perform the services
required herein and (ii) to deliver to the Investment Limited
Partner copies of all such engagement letters and agreements.
12.4. Cost Recovery and Elections
(a) With respect to all depreciable assets for which cost
recovery deductions are permitted, the Partnership shall elect to
use, so far as permitted by the provisions of the Code,
accelerated cost recovery methods. However, the Partnership may
change to another method of cost recovery if such other method
is, in the opinion of the Auditors, more advantageous to the
Investment Limited Partner (and the limited partners and/or
holders of beneficial assignee certificates thereof).
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.5, all other
elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership
under the Code shall be made by the General Partner in such
manner as will, in the opinion of the Auditors, be most
advantageous to the Investment Limited Partner and the limited
partners and/or holders of beneficial assignee certificates
thereof.
12.5. Special Basis Adjustments
In the event of a transfer of all or any part of the Interest of
the Investment Limited Partner or a transfer of all or any part
of an interest of a partner and/or a holder of a beneficial
assignee certificate of the Investment Limited Partner, the
Partnership shall elect, upon the request of the Investment
Limited Partner, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to adjust
the basis of the Partnership property. Any adjustments made
pursuant to said Section 754 shall affect only the successor in
interest to the transferring Partner or partner or holder of a
beneficial assignee certificate thereof. Each Partner will
furnish the Partnership all information necessary to give effect
to any such election.
12.6. Fiscal Year
Unless otherwise required by law, the Fiscal Year and tax year of
the Partnership shall be the calendar year. The books of the
Partnership shall be maintained on an accrual basis.
12.7. Information to Partners
(a) The General Partner shall cause to be prepared and
distributed to all Persons who were Partners at any time during a
Fiscal Year of the Partnership:
(i) Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Fiscal Year
of the Partnership, (A) a balance sheet as of the end of such
Fiscal Year, a statement of income, a statement of partners'
equity, and a statement of cash flows, each for the Fiscal Year
then ended, all of which, except the statement of cash flows,
shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and accompanied by a report of the Auditors

(plus interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus three
percent (3%)) to the Investment Limited Partner until such
obligations shall have been fulfilled. Such damages shall be
paid forthwith by the General Partner, and the failure to pay any
such damages shall constitute a material default by the General
Partner hereunder. In addition, if the General Partner shall
fail to pay any such damages, the General Partner and its
Affiliates shall forthwith cease to be entitled to the
distribution of any Cash Flow or Capital Proceeds to which they
may otherwise be entitled hereunder. Such distributions of Cash
Flow and Capital Proceeds shall be restored only upon the payment

12.8. Expenses of the Partnership
(a) All expenses of the Partnership shall be billed directly to
and paid by the Partnership.
(b) Except in extraordinary circumstances, neither the Investment

contract or otherwise deal with the Partnership for the sale of
goods or services or the lending of money to the Partnership or
the General Partners, except for (i) management services, subject
to the restrictions set forth in Article XI, (ii) loans made by,
or guaranteed by, the Investment General Partner or any of its
Affiliates and (iii) those dealings, contracts or provision of
services described in the Investment Partnership Agreement.
Extraordinary circumstances shall only be presumed to exist where
there is an emergency situation requiring immediate action and
the services required are not immediately available from
unaffiliated parties. All services rendered under such
circumstances must be rendered pursuant to a written contract
which must contain a clause allowing termination without penalty
on sixty (60) days' notice. Goods and services provided under
such circumstances must be provided at the lesser of actual cost
or the price charged for such goods or services by independent
parties.
(c) In the event that extraordinary circumstances arise, the
Investment General Partner and its Affiliates may provide
construction services in connection with the Apartment Complex.
Neither the Investment General Partner nor any of its Affiliates
shall provide such services unless it believes it has an adequate
staff to do so and unless such provision of goods and
construction services is part of its ordinary and ongoing
business in which it has previously engaged, independent of the
activities of the Investment Limited Partner. Any such services
must be reasonable for and necessary to the Partnership, actually
furnished to the Partnership, and provided at the lower of one
hundred percent (100%) of the construction contract rate with
respect to the Apartment Complex or ninety percent (90%) of the
competitive price charged for such services by independent
parties for comparable goods and services in the same geographic
location (except that in the case of transfer agent, custodial
and similar banking-type fees, and insurance fees, the
compensation, price or fee shall be at the lesser of costs or the
compensation, price or fee of any other Person rendering
comparable services as aforesaid). Cost of services as used
herein means the pro rata cost of personnel, including an
allocation of overhead directly attributable to such personnel,
based on the amount of time such personnel spend on such services
or other method of allocation acceptable to the accountants for
the Investment Limited Partner.
(d) All services provided by the Investment General Partner or
any Affiliate thereof pursuant to Section 12.8(c) must be
rendered pursuant to the Investment Partnership Agreement or a
written contract which precisely describes the services to be
rendered and all compensation to be paid and shall contain a
clause allowing termination without penalty upon sixty (60) days'
notice to the Investment General Partner by a vote of a majority
in interest of the limited partners and assignees of beneficial
interests in the Investment Limited Partner.
(e) No compensation or fees may be paid by the Partnership to the
Investment General Partner or its Affiliates except as described
in the Investment Partnership Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII
General Provisions
13.1. Restrictions by Reason of Section 708 of the Code
No Disposition of an Interest may be made if the Interest sought
to be Disposed of, when added to the total of all other Interests
Disposed of within the period of twelve (12) consecutive months

result in the termination of the Partnership under Section 708 of
the Code. This Section 13.1 shall have no application to any
required repurchase of the Investment Limited Partner's Interest.
Any Disposition in contravention of any of the provisions of this
Section 13.1 shall be void ab initio and ineffectual and shall
not bind or be recognized by the Partnership. Notwithstanding

Investment Limited Partner may waive the provisions of this

not, or does not become, bound by the Project Documents in a
manner satisfactory to the Lenders and any Agency (to the extent
that its approval is required); (iv) no amendment to any
provision of the Project Documents shall become effective without
the prior written consent of any Lender and/or Agency (to the
extent that its approval is required); and (v) the affairs of the

and (a) if for any reason any provision is determined to be
invalid, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or

if for any reason any provision would cause the Investment
Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner (in its capacity

Partnership (other than the Regulations and the other
requirements of any Agency or Lender), such provision or
provisions shall be deemed void and of no effect.
