tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction for such year
or other period bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however,

deduction for such year is zero, depreciation shall be determined with reference

the Partnership's operating cash expenses and subject to the limitations on the
reimbursement of such expenses set forth herein. As used in this Section 9.8 the
term "operating cash expenses" shall mean, with respect to any fiscal period,

General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner permitted by this
Agreement and the actual cost of goods, materials and administrative services
used for or by the Partnership, whether incurred by the General Partner, an
Affiliate of the General Partner or a nonaffiliated Person in performing the
foregoing functions. As used in the preceding sentence, "actual cost of goods
and materials" means the actual cost of goods and materials used for or by the
Partnership and obtained from entities which are not Affiliates of the General
Partner, and actual cost of administrative services means the pro rata cost of
personnel (as if such persons were employees of the Partnership) associated
therewith, but in no event to exceed the amount which would be charged by
nonaffiliated Persons for comparable goods and services.
(b) Reimbursement to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates of
operating cash expenses pursuant to Subsection (a) hereof shall be subject to
the following:
(1) no such reimbursement shall be permitted for services
for which the General Partner or any of its Affiliates is entitled to

depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other such administrative items,
and (B) salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses and other administrative
items incurred or allocated to any "controlling person" of the General Partner
or any Affiliate of the General Partner. For the purposes of this Section
9.8(b)(2), "controlling person" includes, but is not limited to, any Person,
however titled, who performs functions for the General Partner or any Affiliate
of the General Partner similar to those of: (i) chairman or member of the board
of directors; (ii) executive management, such as president, vice president or
senior vice president, corporate secretary or treasurer; (iii) senior
management, such as the vice president of an operating division who reports
directly to executive management; or (iv) those holding 5% or more equity
interest in such General Partner or any such Affiliate of the General Partner or
a person having the power to direct or cause the direction of such General
Partner or any such Affiliate of the General Partner, whether through the
ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

of the General Partner shall pay all Partnership expenses which are not
permitted to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 9.8 and all expenses which are
unrelated to the business of the Partnership.
Section 9.10 Other Business of Partners. Any Partner may engage
independently or with others in other business ventures wholly unrelated to the
Partnership business of every nature and description, including, without
28
limitation, the acquisition, development, construction, operation and management
of real estate projects and developments of every type on their own behalf or on
behalf of other partnerships, joint ventures, corporations or other business
ventures formed by them or in which they may have an interest, including,
without limitation, business ventures similar to, related to or in direct or
indirect competition with the Project. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner
shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship
created hereby in or to such other ventures or activities or to the income or
proceeds derived therefrom. Conversely, no Person shall have any rights to
Partnership assets, incomes or proceeds by virtue of such other ventures or
activities of any Partner.

to commence in accordance with the Code, the Project will satisfy the Minimum
Set-Aside Test.

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

ARTICLE X
ALLOCATIONS OF INCOME, LOSSES AND CREDITS
Section 10.1 General. All items includable in the calculation of Income
or Loss not arising from a Sale or Refinancing, and all Tax Credits, shall be
allocated 98.99% to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Special Limited Partner,
and 1% to the General Partner.
Section 10.2 Allocations From Sale or Refinancing. All Income and
Losses arising from a Sale or Refinancing shall be allocated between the
Partners as follows:
(a) As to Income:
(1) first, an amount of Income equal to the aggregate negative
balances (if any) in the Capital Accounts of all Partners having negative
Capital Accounts (prior to taking into account the Sale or Refinancing and the
Distribution of the related Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, but after giving
effect to Distributions of Net Operating Income and allocations of other Income
and Losses pursuant to this Article X up to the date of the Sale or Refinancing)
shall be allocated to such Partners in proportion to their negative Capital
Account balances until all such Capital Accounts shall have zero balances;
(2) second, an amount of Income sufficient to increase the
Limited Partner's positive Capital Account balance to its Capital Contribution
and to increase the Special Limited Partner's positive Capital Account balance
to an amount equal to its Capital Contribution, shall be allocated to the
Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner, respectively;
(3) third, an amount of Income sufficient to increase the
General Partner's positive Capital Account balance to an amount equal to its
Capital Contribution; and
32
(4) the balance, if any, of such Income shall be allocated
50% to the Limited Partner and 50% to the General Partner.
(b) As to Losses:
(1) an amount of Losses equal to the aggregate positive
balances (if any) in the Capital Accounts of all Partners having positive
Capital Accounts (prior to taking into account the Sale or Refinancing and the
Distribution of the related Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, but after giving
effect to Distributions of Net Operating Income and allocations of Income and
Losses pursuant to Section 10.1 up to the date of the Sale or Refinancing) shall
be allocated to such Partners in proportion to their positive Capital Account
balances until all such Capital Accounts shall have zero balances; and
(2) the balance of any such Losses shall be allocated 98.99%
to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Special Limited Partner and 1% to the
General Partner.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 10.2(a) and
(b), in no event shall any Losses be allocated to the Limited Partner or the
Special Limited Partner if and to the extent that such allocation would create
or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for the Limited Partner or the
Special Limited Partner. In the event an allocation of 98.99% or .01% of each
item includable in the calculation of Income or Loss not arising from a Sale or
Refinancing, would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for
the Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner, respectively, then so much
of the items of deduction other than projected depreciation shall be allocated
to the General Partner instead of the Limited Partner or the Special Limited
Partner as is necessary to allow the Limited Partner or the Special Limited
Partner to be allocated 98.99% and .01%, respectively, of the items of Income
and Project depreciation without creating or increasing an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit for the Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner, it being
the intent of the parties that the Limited Partner and the Special Limited
Partner always shall be allocated 98.99% and .01%, respectively, of the items of
Income not arising from a Sale or Refinancing and 98.99% and .01%, respectively,
of the Project depreciation.

allocations shall be made in the following order.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury
Regulations, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article X, if there is
a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership fiscal year,
each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain
for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount
equal to such Person's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain,
33
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g).
Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto.
The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section
1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section

Treasury Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X, if

has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such
Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of
the Treasury Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Partnership
income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal
years) in an amount equal to such Person's share of the net decrease in Partner
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt,
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4).
Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto.
The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections
1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section
10.3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith.
(c) In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments,
allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially
allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate,
to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation
pursuant to this Section 10.3(c) shall be made if and only to the extent that
such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other
allocations provided for in this Section 10.3 have been tentatively made as if
this Section 10.3(c) were not in the Agreement.
(d) In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end
of any Partnership fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount
such Partner is obligated to restore, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed
to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be
34
specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such
excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this
Section 10.3(d) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would
have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations
provided for in this Section 10.3 have been tentatively made as if this Section
10.3(d) and Section 10.3(c) hereof were not in the Agreement.
(e) Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially
allocated 98.99% to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Special Limited Partner and
1% to the General Partner.
(f) Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be
specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with
respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(i)(1).
(g) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any
Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is
required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital
Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of
his interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital
Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the
basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such
gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in accordance with
their interests in the Partnership in the event that Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partner to whom such
distribution was made in the event that Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.
(h) To the extent the Partnership has taxable interest income with
respect to any promissory note pursuant to Section 483 or Section 1271 through
1288 of the Code:
(1) such interest income shall be specially allocated to the
Limited Partner to whom such promissory note relates; and
(2) the amount of such interest income shall be excluded from
the Capital Contributions credited to such Partner's Capital Account in
connection with payments of principal with respect to such promissory note.
(i) In the event the adjusted tax basis of any investment tax credit
property that has been placed in service by the Partnership is increased
pursuant to Code Section 50(c), such increase shall be specially allocated among
the Partners (as an item in the nature of income or gain) in the same
proportions as the investment tax credit that is recaptured with respect to such
property is shared among the Partners.
35
(j) Any reduction in the adjusted tax basis (or cost) of Partnership
investment tax credit property pursuant to Code Section 50(c) shall be specially
allocated among the Partners (as an item in the nature of expenses or losses) in
the same proportions as the basis (or cost) of such property is allocated
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i).
(k) Any income, gain, loss or deduction realized as a direct or
indirect result of the issuance of an interest in the Partnership by the
Partnership to a Partner (the "Issuance Items") shall be allocated among the
Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such Issuance Items,
together with all other allocations under this Agreement to each Partner, shall
be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner
if the Issuance Items had not been realized.
(l) If any Partnership expenditure treated as a deduction on its
federal income tax return is disallowed as a deduction and treated as a
distribution pursuant to Section 731(a) of the Code, there shall be a special
allocation of gross income to the Partner deemed to have received such
distribution equal to the amount of such distribution.
(m) The allocation to the General Partner of each material item of
Partnership income, loss, deduction or credit will not be less than 1% of each
such item at all times during the existence of the Partnership.
(n) Interest deduction on the Partnership indebtedness referred to in
Section 6.3 shall be allocated 100% to the General Partner.
Section 10.4 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in
Sections 10.2(c), 10.3(a), 10.3(b), 10.3(c), 10.3(d), 10.3(e), 10.3(f), and
10.3(g) hereof (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with
certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the
Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be
offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of
other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this
Section 10.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X
(other than the Regulatory Allocations), with the Consent of the Special Limited
Partner, the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of
Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner the General
Partner, with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, determines appropriate
so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner's Capital
Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance
such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the
Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Sections 10.1,
10.2(a), 10.2(b), 10.3(h), 10.3(i), 10.3(j), 10.3(k), 10.3(l), 10.3(m), 10.3(n)
36
and 10.5. In exercising its authority under this Section 10.4, the General
Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section
10.3(a) and 10.3(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other
Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 10.3(e) and 10.3(f).
Section 10.5 Other Allocation Rules.
(a) The basis (or cost) of any Partnership investment tax credit
property shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i). All Tax Credits (other than the investment
tax credit) shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with applicable
law. Consistent with the foregoing, the Partners intend that LIHTC will be
allocated 98.99% to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Special Limited Partner and
1% to the General Partner.
(b) In the event Partnership investment tax credit property is disposed
of during any taxable year, profits for such taxable year (and, to the extent
such profits are insufficient, profits for subsequent taxable years) in an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the reduction in the adjusted tax
basis (or cost) of such property pursuant to Code Section 50(c), over (2) any
increase in the adjusted tax basis of such property pursuant to Code Section
50(c) caused by the disposition of such property, shall be excluded from the
profits allocated pursuant to Section 10.1 and Section 10.2(a) hereof and shall
instead be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective shares
of such excess, determined pursuant to Section 10.3(i) and 10.3(j) hereof. In
the event more than one item of such property is disposed of by the Partnership,
the foregoing sentence shall apply to such items in the order in which they are
disposed of by the Partnership, so the profits equal to the entire amount of
such excess with respect to the first such property disposed of shall be
allocated prior to any allocations with respect to the second such property
disposed of, and so forth.
(c) For purposes of determining the Income, Losses, or any other items
allocable to any period, Income, Losses, and any such other items shall be
determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General
Partner with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, using any permissible
method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(d) Solely for purposes of determining a Partner's proportionate
share of the "excess nonrecourse liabilities" of the Partnership within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners'
interests in Partnership profits are as follows: Limited Partner: 98.99%;
Special Limited Partner: .01%; General Partner: 1%.
(e) To the extent permitted by Section 1.704-2(h)(3) of the Treasury
Regulations, the General Partner shall endeavor to treat Distributions as having
been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Partner Nonrecourse
37
Debt only to the extent that such Distributions would cause or increase an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Partner who is not a General Partner.
Section 10.6 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with
Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss,
and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the
Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so
as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property
to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset
Value (computed in accordance with Section 1.26(a) hereof).
In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted
pursuant to Section 1.26(b) hereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain,
loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any
variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax
purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section
704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be
made by the General Partner with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner in
any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.
Allocations pursuant to this Section 10.6 are solely for purposes of federal,
state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account
in computing, any Person's Capital Account or share of Income, Losses, other
items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
Section 10.7 Allocation Among Limited Partners. In the event that the
Interest of the Limited Partner hereunder is at any time held by more than one
Limited Partner all items which are specifically allocated to the Limited
Partner for any month pursuant to this Article X shall be apportioned among such
Persons according to the ratio of their respective profit-sharing interests in
the Partnership at the last day of such month.
Section 10.8 Allocation Among General Partners. In the event that the
Interest of the General Partner hereunder is at any time held by more than one
General Partner all items which are specifically allocated to the General
Partner for any month pursuant to this Article X shall be apportioned among such
Persons in such percentages as may from time to time be determined by agreement
among them without amendment to this Agreement or consent of the Limited Partner
or Consent of the Special Limited Partner.
Section 10.9 Modification of Allocations. The provisions of Articles X
and XI and other provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704 and shall be interpreted and applied in a
manner consistent with such section of the Treasury Regulations. In the event
that the General Partner determines, in its sole discretion, that it is prudent
38
to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts of the Partners, or any debit
or credit thereto, are computed in order to comply with such section of the
Treasury Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification, but only
with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, to the minimum extent
necessary, to effect the plan of allocations and Distributions provided for
elsewhere in this Agreement. Further, the General Partner shall make any
appropriate modifications, but only with the Consent of the Special Limited
Partner, in the event it appears that unanticipated events (e.g., the existence
of a Partnership election pursuant to Code Section 754) might otherwise cause
this Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704.
ARTICLE XI

PARTNER'S INTEREST IN THE PARTNERSHIP
Section 12.1 Assignment of Limited Partner's Interest. Except
assignments to the National Bank of Southern California to secure capital
contribution loans, the Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner shall not
have the right to assign all or any part of their respective Interests to any
other Person, whether or not a Partner, except upon satisfaction of each of the
following:

General Partner and its counsel, setting forth the name and address of the
proposed transferee, the nature and extent of the Interest which is proposed to

the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and providing for the payment of all
reasonable expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with such
assignment, including but not limited to the cost of preparing any necessary
amendment to this Agreement;
(b) upon consent of the General Partner to such assignment, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld; and
(c) upon receipt by the General Partner of the Assignee's written
representation that the Partnership Interest is to be acquired by the Assignee
for the Assignee's own account for long-term investment and not with a view
toward resale, fractionalization, division or distribution thereof.
THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST AND THE SPECIAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
INTEREST DESCRIBED HEREIN HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 AS AMENDED OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW. THESE INTERESTS MAY NOT BE
40
SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
Section 12.2 Effective Date of Transfer. Any assignment of a Limited
Partner's Interest or Special Limited Partner's Interest pursuant to Section
12.1 shall become effective as of the last day of the calendar month in which
the last of the conditions to such assignment are satisfied.
Section 12.3 Invalid Assignment. Any purported assignment of an
Interest of a Limited Partner or Special Limited Partner otherwise than in
accordance with Section 12.1 or Section 12.6 shall be of no effect as between
the Partnership and the purported assignee and shall be disregarded by the
General Partner in making allocations and Distributions hereunder.
Section 12.4 Assignee's Rights to Allocations and Distributions. An
Assignee shall be entitled to receive allocations and Distributions from the
Partnership attributable to the Interest acquired by reason of any permitted
assignment from and after the first day of the calendar month following the
month which ends with the effective date of the transfer of such Interest as
provided in Section 12.2. The Partnership and the General Partner shall be
entitled to treat the assignor of such Partnership Interest as the absolute
owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for allocations and
Distributions made in good faith to such assignor, until such time as the
written instrument of assignment has been received by the Partnership.
Section 12.5 Substitution of Assignee as Limited Partner or Special
Limited Partner.
(a) An Assignee shall not have the right to become a Substitute Limited
Partner or substitute Special Limited Partner in place of his assignor unless
the written consent of the General Partner to such substitution shall have been
obtained, which consent, in the General Partner's absolute discretion, may be
withheld.
(b) A nonadmitted transferee of a Limited Partner's Interest or Special
Limited Partner's Interest in the Partnership shall only be entitled to receive
that share of allocations, Distributions and the return of Capital Contribution
to which its transferor would otherwise have been entitled with respect to the
Interest transferred, and shall have no right to obtain any information on
account of the Partnership's transactions, to inspect the Partnership's books
and records or have any other of the rights and privileges of a Limited Partner
or Special Limited Partner, provided, however, that the Partnership shall, if a
transferee and transferor jointly advise the General Partner in writing of a
transfer of an Interest in the Partnership, furnish the transferee with
pertinent tax information at the end of each fiscal year of the Partnership.
41
(c) The General Partner may elect to treat a transferee of a
Partnership Interest who has not become a Substitute Limited Partner or
Substitute Special Limited Partner as a Substitute Limited Partner or substitute
Special Limited Partner, as the case may be, in the place of its transferor
should the General Partner determine in its absolute discretion that such
treatment is in the best interest of the Partnership.
Section 12.6 Death, Bankruptcy, Incompetency, etc. of a Limited
Partner. Upon the death, dissolution, adjudication of bankruptcy, or
adjudication of incompetency or insanity of a Limited Partner or Special Limited
Partner, such Partner's executors, administrators or legal representatives shall
have all the rights of a Limited Partner or Special Limited Partner, as the case
may be, for the purpose of settling or managing such Partner's estate, including
such power as such Partner possessed to constitute a successor as a transferee
of its Interest in the Partnership and to join with such transferee in making
the application to substitute such transferee as a Partner. However, such
executors, administrators or legal representatives will not have the right to
become Substitute Limited Partners or substitute Special Limited Partners in the
place of their respective predecessors-in-interest unless the General Partner
shall so consent.
ARTICLE XIII

GENERAL PARTNER
Section 13.1 Withdrawal of General Partner.
(a) The General Partner may not Withdraw (other than as a result of an
Involuntary Withdrawal) without the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, and,
to the extent required, of Home Savings of America, FSB and the State Tax Credit
Agency. Withdrawal shall be conditioned upon the agreement of the Special
Limited Partner to be admitted as a successor General Partner, or if the Special
Limited Partner declines to be admitted as a successor General Partner then on
the agreement of one or more Persons who satisfy the requirements of Section
13.5 of this Agreement to be admitted as successor General Partner(s).
(b) Each General Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Partnership and all Partners from its Withdrawal in violation of Section 13.1(a)

resulting from its Withdrawal in violation of Section 13.1(a).
Section 13.2 Removal of General Partner.
(a) The Special Limited Partner or the Limited Partner, or both of
them, may remove the General Partner for cause if such General Partner has:
42
(1) been subject to Bankruptcy in accordance with this
Agreement;
(2) committed any fraud, willful misconduct, breach of
fiduciary duty or other negligent conduct in the performance of its duties
under this Agreement;
(3) been convicted of, or entered into a plea of guilty to,
a felony;
(4) made personal use of Partnership funds or properties;
(5) violated the terms of the Mortgage and such violation
prompts Home Savings of America, FSB to issue a default letter or acceleration

cured within 30 days of such letter or notice;
(6) failed to provide any loan, advance, Capital
Contribution or any other payment to the Partnership required under this
Agreement;
(7) failed to obtain the Consent of the Special Limited
Partner prior to any decision, act or omission under circumstances where this
Agreement requires that such consent be obtained;
(8) breached any representation, warranty or covenant
contained in this Agreement, or failed to perform any other action which may

(9) caused the Projected Tax Credits to be allocated to the
Partners for a term longer than the Tax Credit Period unless the provisions of

(10) violated any federal or state tax law which causes a
recapture of LIHTC; or
(11) failed during any six-month period during the Compliance
Period to cause at least 85% of the total apartment units in the Project to
qualify for LIHTC, unless such failure is the result of Force Majeure or unless
such failure is cured within 120 days after the end of the six-month period.
(b) Written notice of the removal for cause of the General Partner
shall be served by the Special Limited Partner or the Limited Partner, or both
of them, upon the General Partner either by certified or by registered mail,
return receipt requested, or by personal service. Such notice shall set forth
the reasons for the removal, if any, and the date upon which the removal is to
become effective.
43
(c) Upon receipt of such notice of removal for cause, the General
Partner shall cause an accounting to be prepared covering the transactions of
the Partnership from the end of the previous fiscal year through the date of
receipt of such notice, and thereafter it shall not sell or dispose of
Partnership assets under any circumstances. The accounting shall be completed by
the effective date of the removal and shall be in sufficient detail to
accurately and fully reflect the earnings or losses for the period and the
financial condition of the Partnership. If the General Partner fails to cause
the accounting to be prepared within 30 days of receipt of the notice of removal
for cause then the Limited Partner may cause the accounting to be prepared. The
expenses of the accounting shall be borne by the General Partner.
Section 13.3 Effects of a Withdrawal. In the event of a Withdrawal, the
entire Interest of the Withdrawing General Partner shall immediately and
automatically terminate on the effective date of such Withdrawal, and such
General Partner shall immediately cease to be a General Partner, shall have no
further right to participate in the management or operation of the Partnership
or the Project or to receive any allocations or Distributions from the
Partnership or any other funds or assets of the Partnership, except as
specifically set forth below. In the event of a Withdrawal, any or all executory
contracts, including but not limited to the Management Agreement, between the
Partnership and the Withdrawing General Partner or its Affiliates may be
terminated by the Partnership, with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner,
upon written notice to the party so terminated.
Furthermore, notwithstanding such Withdrawal, the Withdrawing General
Partner shall be and shall remain, liable as a General Partner for all
liabilities and obligations incurred by the Partnership or by the General
Partner prior to the effective date of the Withdrawal, or which may arise upon
such Withdrawal. Any remaining Partner shall have all other rights and remedies
against the Withdrawing General Partner as provided by law or under this
Agreement.
The General Partner agrees that in the event of its Withdrawal it will
indemnify and hold the Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner harmless
from and against all losses, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
Withdrawal, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other expenses of
the Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner in connection with the
transaction.
The following additional provisions shall apply in the event of a
Withdrawal.
(a) In the event of a Withdrawal which is not an Involuntary
Withdrawal, the Withdrawing General Partner shall have no further right to
receive any future allocations or Distributions from the Partnership or any
other funds or assets of the Partnership, nor shall it be entitled to receive or
44
to be paid by the Partnership any further payments of fees (including fees which
have been earned but are unpaid) or to be repaid any outstanding advances or
loans made by it to the Partnership or to be paid any amount for its former
Interest. From and after the effective date of such Withdrawal, the former
rights of the Withdrawing General Partner to receive or to be paid such
allocations, Distributions, funds, assets, fees or repayments shall be assigned
to the other General Partner or General Partners (which may include the Special
Limited Partner), or if there is no other general partner of the Partnership at
that time, to the Special Limited Partner.
(b) In the event of an Involuntary Withdrawal, except as provided in
Section 13.3(b)(3) below, the Withdrawing General Partner shall have no further
right to receive any future allocations or Distributions from the Partnership or
any other funds or assets of the Partnership, provided that accrued and payable
fees (i.e., fees earned but unpaid as of the date of Withdrawal) owed to the
Withdrawing General Partner, and any outstanding loans of the Withdrawing
General Partner to the Partnership, shall be paid to the Withdrawing General
Partner in the manner and at the times such fees and loans would have been paid
had the Withdrawing General Partner not Withdrawn. The Interest of the General
Partner shall be purchased as follows.
(1) If the Involuntary Withdrawal arises from removal for
cause as set forth in Section 13.2(a) hereof, the Withdrawn General Partner
shall be entitled to receive as its sole compensation for its Interest in the
Partnership an amount equal to its positive Capital Account balance determined
as of the effective date of the removal, if any, payable upon the dissolution
and termination of the Partnership after all of the Partners have been
distributed the positive balances in their Capital Accounts.
(2) If the Involuntary Withdrawal does not arise from removal
for cause under Section 13.2(a) hereof, and if the Partnership is to be
continued with one or more remaining or successor General Partner(s), the
Partnership, with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, may, but is not
obligated to, purchase the Interest of the Withdrawing General Partner in
Partnership allocations, Distributions and capital. The purchase price of such
Interest shall be its Fair Market Value as determined by agreement between the
Withdrawing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner, or, if they cannot
agree, by arbitration in accordance with the then current rules of the American
Arbitration Association. The cost of such arbitration shall be borne equally by
the Withdrawing General Partner and the Partnership. The purchase price shall be
paid by the Partnership by delivering to the General Partner or its
representative the Partnership's non-interest bearing unsecured promissory note
payable, if at all, upon liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with
Section 11.2(b). The note shall also provide that the Partnership may prepay all
or any part thereof without penalty.
45
(3) If the Involuntary Withdrawal does not arise from removal
for cause under Section 13.2(a) hereof, and if the Partnership is to be
continued with one or more remaining or successor General Partner(s), and if the
Partnership does not purchase the Interest of the Withdrawing General Partner in
Partnership allocations, Distributions and capital, then the Withdrawing General
Partner shall retain its Interest in such items, but such Interest shall be held
as a special limited partner.
Section 13.4 Successor General Partner. Upon the occurrence of an event
giving rise to a Withdrawal of a General Partner, any remaining General Partner,
or, if there be no remaining General Partner, the Withdrawing General Partner or
its legal representative, shall promptly notify the Special Limited Partner of
such Withdrawal (the "Withdrawal Notice"). Whether or not the Withdrawal Notice
shall have been sent as provided herein, the Special Limited Partner shall have
the right to become a successor General Partner (and to become the successor
managing General Partner if the Withdrawing General Partner was previously the
managing General Partner). In order to effectuate the provisions of this Section
13.4 and the continuance of the Partnership, the Withdrawal of a General Partner
shall not be effective until the expiration of 120 days from the date on which
occurred the event giving rise to the Withdrawal, unless the Special Limited
Partner shall have elected to become a successor General Partner as provided
herein prior to expiration of such 120-day period, whereupon the Withdrawal of
the General Partner shall be deemed effective upon the notification of all the
other Partners by the Special Limited Partner of such election.
Section 13.5 Admission of Additional or Successor General Partner. No
Person shall be admitted as an additional or successor General Partner unless
(a) such Person shall have agreed to become a General Partner by a written
instrument which shall include the acceptance and adoption of this Agreement;
(b) the Consent of the Special Limited Partner to the admission of such Person
as a substitute General Partner, which consent may be withheld in the discretion
of the Special Limited Partner, shall have been given; and (c) such Person shall
have executed and acknowledged any other instruments which the Special Limited
Partner shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to affect the admission
of such Person as a substitute General Partner. If the foregoing conditions are
satisfied, this Agreement shall be amended in accordance with the provisions of
the Act, and all other steps shall be taken which are reasonably necessary to
effect the Withdrawal of the Withdrawing General Partner and the substitution of
the successor General Partner. Nothing contained herein shall reduce the Limited
Partner's Interest or the Special Limited Partner's Interest in the Partnership.
Section 13.6 Transfer of Interest. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the General Partner may not Withdraw from the Partnership, or enter into any
agreement as the result of which any Person shall become interested in the
46
Partnership, without the Consent of the Special Limited Partner.
Section 13.7 No Goodwill Value. At no time during continuation of the
Partnership shall any value ever be placed on the Partnership name, or the right
to its use, or to the goodwill appertaining to the Partnership or its business,
either as among the Partners or for the purpose of determining the value of any
Interest, nor shall the legal representatives of any Partner have any right to
claim any such value. In the event of a termination and dissolution of the
Partnership as provided in this Agreement, neither the Partnership name, nor the
right to its use, nor the same goodwill, if any, shall be considered as an asset
of the Partnership, and no valuation shall be put thereon for the purpose of
liquidation or distribution, or for any other purpose whatsoever.

the work performed by each such employee, all in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, including such tests of the
accounting records and such other auditing procedures as the Accountants
consider appropriate in the circumstances.
(c) Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter in which a Sale
or Refinancing of the Project occurs, the General Partner shall send to the

DISSOLUTION, WINDING UP, TERMINATION
AND LIQUIDATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
Section 15.1 Dissolution of Partnership. The Partnership shall be
dissolved upon the expiration of its term or the earlier occurrence of any of
the following events.
(a) The effective date of the Withdrawal or removal of the General
Partner, unless (1) at the time there is at least one other General Partner
(which may be the Special Limited Partner if it elects to serve as successor
General Partner under Section 13.4 hereof) who will continue as General Partner,
or (2) within 120 days after the occurrence of any such event the Limited
Partner elects to continue the business of the Partnership.
(b) The sale of the Project and the receipt in cash of the full amount
of the proceeds of such sale.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the
Partnership terminate prior to the expiration of its term if such termination
would result in a violation of the Mortgage or any other agreement with or rule
or regulation of Home Savings of America, FSB to which the Partnership is
subject.
Section 15.2 Return of Capital Contribution upon Dissolution. Except as
provided in Sections 7.3, and 7.4 of this Agreement, which provide for a
reduction or refund of the Limited Partner's Capital Contribution under certain
51
circumstances, and which shall represent the personal obligation of the General
Partner, as well as the obligation of the Partnership, each Partner shall look
solely to the assets of the Partnership for all Distributions with respect to
the Partnership (including the return of its Capital Contribution) and shall
have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any General
Partner. No Partner shall have any right to demand property other than money
upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership, and the Partnership is
prohibited from such a distribution of property absent the Consent of the
Special Limited Partner.
Section 15.3 Distributions of Assets. Upon a dissolution of the
Partnership, the General Partner (or, if there is no General Partner then
remaining, such other Person(s) designated as the liquidator of the Partnership
by the Special Limited Partner or by the court in a judicial dissolution) shall
take full account of the Partnership assets and liabilities and shall liquidate
the assets as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof.
(a) Upon dissolution and termination, after payment of, or adequate
provision for, the debts and obligations of the Partnership pursuant to Section
11.2(a) through and including 11.2(c), the remaining assets of the Partnership
shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 11.2, after
taking into account all allocations under Article X hereof.
(b) In the event that a General Partner has a deficit balance in its
Capital Account following the liquidation of the Partnership or its Interest, as
determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the
Partnership's taxable year in which such liquidation occurs, such General
Partner shall pay to the Partnership the amount necessary to restore such
deficit balance to zero in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3).
The deficit make-up shall be paid by the General Partner by the end of
such taxable year and shall, upon liquidation of the Partnership, be paid to
creditors of the Partnership or distributed to other Partners in accordance with
their positive Capital Account balances. Notwithstanding, if the Special Limited
Partner has become successor General Partner, it shall not be responsible for
any deficit balance in its Capital Account which arose during the time the
former General Partner served as General Partner.
(c) With respect to assets distributed in kind to the Partners in
liquidation or otherwise:
(1) unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation in the
values of such assets shall be deemed to be Income and Losses realized by the
Partnership immediately prior to the liquidation or other Distribution event;
and
52
(2) such Income and Losses shall be allocated to the Partners
in accordance with Section 10.2 hereof, and any property so distributed shall be
treated as a Distribution of an amount in cash equal to the excess of such Fair
Market Value over the outstanding principal balance of and accrued interest on
any debt by which the property is encumbered.
(d) For the purposes of Section 15.3(c), "unrealized appreciation" or
"unrealized depreciation" shall mean the difference between the Fair Market
Value of such assets, taking into account the Fair Market Value of the
associated financing but subject to Section 7701(g) of the Code, and the
Partnership's adjusted basis in such assets for book purposes. Section 15.3(c)
is merely intended to provide a rule for allocating unrealized Income and Losses
upon liquidation or other Distribution event, and nothing contained in Section
15.3(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement is intended to treat or cause such
Distributions to be treated as sales for value. The Fair Market Value of such
assets shall be determined by an independent appraiser to be selected by the
General Partner with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner.
Section 15.4 Deferral of Liquidation. If at the time of liquidation the
General Partner or other liquidator shall determine that an immediate sale of
part or all of the Partnership assets could cause undue loss to the Partners,
the liquidator may, in order to avoid loss, but only with the Consent of the
Special Limited Partner, either defer liquidation and retain all or a portion of
the assets or distribute all or a portion of the assets to the Partners in kind.
In the event that the liquidator elects to distribute such assets in kind, the
assets shall first be assigned a value (by appraisal by an independent
appraiser) and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation in value of the
assets shall be allocated to the Partners' Capital Accounts, as if such assets
had been sold, in the manner described in Section 10.2, and such assets shall
then be distributed to the Partners as provided herein. In applying the
preceding sentence, the Project shall not be assigned a value less than the
unamortized principal balance of any loan secured thereby.
Section 15.5 Liquidation Statement. Each of the Partners shall be
furnished with a statement prepared or caused to be prepared by the General
Partner or other liquidator, which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of
the Partnership as of the date of complete liquidation. Upon compliance with the
distribution plan as outlined in Sections 15.3 and 15.4, the Limited Partner and
Special Limited Partner shall cease to be such and the General Partner shall
execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed those certificates referenced in
Section 15.6.
Section 15.6 Certificates of Dissolution; Certificate of Cancellation
of Certificate of Limited Partnership.
(a) Upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall
cause to be filed in the office of, and on a form prescribed by the Secretary of
53
State of the State, a certificate of dissolution. The certificate of dissolution
shall set forth the Partnership's name, the Secretary of State's file number for
the Partnership, the event causing the Partnership's dissolution and the date of
the dissolution.
(b) Upon the completion of the winding up of the Partnership's affairs,
the General Partner shall cause to be filed in the office of, and on a form
prescribed by, the Secretary of State of the State, a certificate of
cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership. The certificate of
cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership shall set forth the
Partnership's name, the Secretary of State's file number for the Partnership,
and any other information which the General Partner determines to include
therein.

property, at a purchase price that is not less than the minimum amount set forth

B-1
Based on the foregoing we are of the opinion that:

State of _____________________ and has full power and authority to enter into
and perform its obligations under the Partnership Agreement.
_____________________, one of the other General Partners, is a
[corporation/partnership] duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the
State of __________________ and has full power and authority to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Partnership Agreement.
(b) The Partnership is a limited partnership duly formed and validly
existing under the laws of the State of California.
(c) The Partnership is validly existing under and subject to the laws of
California with full power and authority to own, develop,
[construct/rehabilitate], finance and operate the Apartment Complex and to
otherwise conduct business under the Partnership Agreement.
(d) Execution of the Partnership Agreement by the General Partner(s) has
been duly and validly authorized by or on behalf of the General Partner(s) and,
having been executed and delivered in accordance with its terms, the Partnership
Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the General Partner(s),
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(e) The execution and delivery of the Partnership Agreement by the General
Partner(s) does not conflict with and will not result in a breach of any of the
terms, provisions or conditions of any agreement or instrument known to counsel
to which any of the General Partner(s) or the Partnership is a party or by which
any of them may be bound, or any order, rule, or regulation to be applicable to
any of such parties of any court or governmental body or administrative agency
having jurisdiction over any of such parties or over the property.
(f) To the best of counsel's knowledge, after due inquiry, there is no
litigation or governmental proceeding pending or threatened against, or
involving the Apartment Complex, the Partnership or any General Partner which
would materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or
business of the Apartment Complex, the Partnership or any of the Partners of the
Partnership.
(g) The Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner have been admitted
to the Partnership as limited partners of the Partnership under __________ law
B-2
and are entitled to all of the rights of limited partners under the Partnership
Agreement. Except as described in the Partnership Agreement, no person is a
partner of or has any legal or equitable interest in the Partnership, and all
former partners of record or known to counsel have validly withdrawn from the
Partnership and have released any claims against the Partnership arising out of
their participation as partners therein.
(h) Liability of the Limited Partner for obligations of the Partnership is
limited to the amount of the Limited Partner's capital contributions required by
the Partnership Agreement.
(i) Neither the General Partner(s) of the Partnership nor the Limited
Partner nor the Special Limited Partner will have any liability for the Mortgage
represented thereby (as those terms are defined in the Partnership Agreement,
and the lender of the Mortgage Loan will look only to its security in the
Apartment Complex for repayment of the Mortgage Loan.
(j) The Partnership owns a fee simple interest in the Apartment
Complex.
(k) To the best of our actual knowledge and belief, after due inquiry,
the Partnership has obtained all consents, permissions, licenses, approvals, or
orders required by all applicable governmental or regulatory agencies for the
development, [construction/rehabilitation] and operation of the Apartment
Complex, and the Apartment Complex conforms to all applicable Federal, state and
local land use, zoning, health, building and safety laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations.
(l) The Apartment Complex has obtained a preliminary reservation of low
income housing tax credits ("LIHTC") from the State Agency. The final allocation
of the LIHTC and ultimately eligibility of the Apartment Complex for such final
allocation are subject to a series of requirements which must be met, performed
or achieved at various times prior to and after such final allocation. Assuming
all such requirements are met, performed or achieved at the time or times
provided by applicable laws and regulations, the Apartment Complex will qualify
for LIHTC.
All of the opinions set forth above are qualified to the extent that
the validity of any provision of any agreement may be subject to or affected by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally. We do not express any opinion as to
the availability of any equitable or specific remedy upon any breach of any of
B-3
the covenants, warranties or other provisions contained in any agreement. We
have not examined, and we express no opinion with respect to, the applicability
of, or liability under, any Federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation
governing or pertaining to environmental matters, hazardous wastes, toxic
substances or the like.
We express no opinion as to any matter except those set forth above.
These opinions are rendered for use by the Limited Partner and its legal counsel
which will rely on this opinion in connection with federal income tax opinions
to be rendered by that firm. This opinion may not be delivered to or relied upon
by any other person or entity without our express written consent.
Sincerely,

ANNUAL CERTIFICATION
As General Partner of Xxxx Xxxxx Senior Community Limited Partnership,
I hereby certify as to the following:
1. Xxxx Xxxxx Senior Community Limited Partnership owns a one hundred
six (106) unit project ("Project") in Oakland, Alameda County, California.
2. An annual income certification (including supporting documentation)
has been received from each tenant. The income certification reflects that the
tenant's income meets the income limitation applicable to the Project pursuant
to Section 42(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code").
3. The Project satisfies the requirements of the applicable minimum
set aside test as defined in Section 42(g)(1) of the Code.
4. Each unit within the Project is rent restricted as defined in
Section 42(g)(2)of the Code.
5. Each unit in the Project is available for use by the general public
and not for use on a transient basis.
6. Each building in the Project is suitable for occupancy in
accordance with local health, safety, and building codes.
7. During the preceding calendar year, there had been no change in
the eligible basis, as defined in Section 42(d)of the Code, of any building
within the Project.
8. All common area facilities included in the eligible basis of the
Apartment Complex are provided to the tenants on a comparable basis without a
separate fee to any tenant in the Project.
9. During the preceding calendar year when a unit in the Project became
vacant reasonable attempts were made to rent that unit to tenants whose incomes
met the income limitation applicable to the Project pursuant to Section 42(g)(1)
of the Code and while that unit was vacant no units of comparable or smaller
size were rented to tenants whose income did not meet the income limitation
applicable to the Project pursuant to Section 42(g)(1) of the Code.
10. If the income of a tenant in a unit increased above the limit
allowed in Section 42 (g)(2)(D)(ii), then the next available unit of comparable
or smaller size was rented to tenants whose incomes met the income limitation
applicable to the Project pursuant to Section 42(g)(1) of the Code.
