and upon the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 5.3 below,
Investor Limited Partner will have the right, at Investor Limited Partner's
election, but not the obligation, to pay all or a portion of the Second
Installment to obtain a release of the Letter of Credit and/or to any third
party to which the Partnership then owes an obligation which is then due and
payable or to make any payment to any Person which would cure any Material
Default, provided that Investor Limited Partner has given General Partner at
least 5 days' prior notice of Investor Limited Partner's intent to make such
payment and General Partner has failed, within 5 days after such notice, to
contest, settle, or otherwise satisfy or discharge the obligation which
underlies the payment that Investor Limited Partner has notified General Partner
of, in a manner which prevents the Person to which such obligation is owed from
enforcing such obligation or otherwise harming the Partnership with respect to
such obligation; any such payment made by Investor Limited Partner will be
deemed to be made on behalf of the Partnership and, to the extent of such
payment, the Second Installment will be deemed to have been paid. No such
payment by Investor Limited Partner will be deemed to be a waiver of any
Material Default or will relieve General Partner of any of General Partner's
obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, matters which
were cured by such payment.
B. Special Limited Partner's Capital Contribution shall be in the amount
of $100.00 and shall be paid to the Partnership in full in cash on the Admission
Date.
Section 5.2 Conditions to Payment of Second Installment
The following are conditions precedent (which must, in any event, occur on
or before April 30, 1999) to payment of the Second Installment by Investor
Limited Partner:
A. All of the conditions precedent to the Admission Date have been and
remain satisfied.
B. No Material Default has occurred, and no event has occurred which with
the passage of time or the giving of notice would constitute a Material Default,
and neither Investor Limited Partner nor Special Limited Partner has delivered a
notice of a Material Default which is currently being contested by General
Partner.
C. The Temporary Certificate of Occupancy Date has occurred and the
Project is not subject to any liens, claims or encumbrances other than the Deed
of Trust, or other matters set forth in the title insurance policy delivered to
Special Limited Partner at the Mortgage Loan Closing pursuant to this Agreement.
D. Intentionally Omitted.
E. General Partner has delivered a written certification to Investor
Limited Partner (a "Payment Certificate") in the form attached to this Agreement
as Exhibit C.
F. General Partner must deliver each of the following to Special Limited
Partner:

evidence that the nature of the work remaining to be done is of a nature which
would not impair the permanent occupancy of any portion of the Project, which
evidence is reasonably satisfactory to Special Limited Partner.
(ii) A copy of a lien waiver executed by the Contractor, dated not
more than 30 days prior to the date on which the Second Installment is due;
which lien waiver must show that all amounts due through the date of such waiver
have been paid.

required under this Agreement, which is to be issued concurrently with payment
of the Second Installment, dating the policy as of the date on which the Second

Partner is unable (in the exercise of good faith and reasonable and diligent
efforts) to obtain such estoppel certificates in a timely manner solely as a
result of the inability of the applicable Governmental Authority to provide such
an estoppel within the time period in which all of the other provisions in this
Section 5.2 are satisfied, the General Partner shall provide written
notification to Investor Limited Partner setting forth a representation that the
General Partner is using and will continue to use such reasonable and diligent
efforts to obtain such estoppel certificates.
(v) An estoppel certificate, dated not more than 30 days before the
date on which the Second Installment is due, from the General Partner, in the

Partnership Counsel, or such other counsel satisfactory to Special Limited
Partner, relating to the authority of General Partner, and any Affiliate of
General Partner which may be providing services to the Partnership, and to the
enforceability of this Agreement and the other Project Documents, which opinion
must be reasonably satisfactory to Special Limited Partner. The cost of such
opinion will be borne by the Partnership.
H. If requested by Special Limited Partner, an opinion of the
Partnership Counsel, or such other tax counsel satisfactory to Special Limited
Partner, which shall include opinions relating to the federal income tax
classification of the Partnership, the availability of the Historic

Partners in accordance with this Agreement, and the status of Limited Partners
as "limited partners" under the Act notwithstanding the taking of any action or
exercise of any and all rights, approvals and directives by Limited Partner in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which opinion must be reasonably
satisfactory to Special Limited Partner. The cost of such opinion will be borne
by the Partnership.

adverse change to HRI's financial condition since the date of such financial
statements), showing that there has been no material adverse change from the
financial statements submitted to Special Limited Partner in connection with
Investor Limited Partner's entrance into this Agreement and also showing that
HRI's net worth is equal to or greater than $4,000,000.00 determined in
accordance with GAAP.
L. Insurance certificates evidencing all insurance policies required
under this Agreement and/or the Management Agreement are paid for and in full
force and effect as of the date on which the Second Installment is due.

Section 5.3 Adjuster Provisions: Generally; Completion Adjuster
A. The parties acknowledge that the amount of Investor Limited Partner's
Capital Contribution is based on the amount of the charitable deduction
attributable to the Facade Donation Documents allocable to Investor Limited
Partner as shown in the Projections and an amount of Historic Rehabilitation
Credit allocable to Investor Limited Partner under the terms of this Agreement
of $3,752,690.00. If the amount of the Historic Rehabilitation Credit allocable
to Investor Limited Partner under the terms of this Agreement is less than
$3,752,690.00, and/or such charitable deduction allocable to Investor Limited
Partner under the terms of this Agreement is less or greater than the amounts
shown in the Projections, the provisions of Sections 5.4 and 5.5 shall apply;
provided, however, that in the event a Negative Historic Adjustment and/or a
Negative Charitable Adjustment results in a reduction of Investor Limited
Partner's Capital Contribution Installments or an offset to any amounts
otherwise distributable or payable to the General Partner or to General
Partner's Affiliates or a payment by General Partner to Investor Limited Partner
pursuant to Sections 5.4, 5.5 or 5.13, as the case may be, then such payment
shall nevertheless be deemed for all purposes to be a return of Investor Limited
Partner's Capital Contribution Installments, in the inverse order in which such
Installments were made.
B. If the Placed-In-Service Date has not occurred on or prior to December
31, 1998, General Partner shall indemnify the Investor Limited Partner (for the
General Partner's failure to timely complete the Project) in an amount (the
"Completion Adjuster") equal to the sum of (i) the product of 20% multiplied by
the First Installment, plus (ii) interest on the amount specified in the
preceding clause (i) at an annual rate equal to the lesser of the Designated
Interest Rate plus 7%, or the highest rate permitted by law from the December
31, 1998 until such Completion Adjuster is paid in full; which amount shall be
paid by General Partner, in cash, on or before January 31, 1999; provided,
however, that for all purposes of this Agreement, any amount so paid to Investor
Limited Partner by General Partner shall not constitute a loan nor contribution
of capital to the Partnership by General Partner, and General Partner shall not
be entitled to receive any repayment or other compensation or consideration with
respect to such amount. The Investor Limited Partner shall have the right to
offset any amounts due from Investor Limited Partner under the Second
Installment or its Subordinated Partner Loan against amounts due from the
General Partner to Investor Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 5.3B;
provided, however, for purposes of all allocations, distributions and payments
under this Agreement, the Investor Limited Partner shall be treated as having
made the full amount of its Second Installment and Subordinated Partner Loan
notwithstanding such offset and such offset shall not constitute a loan nor
contribution of capital to the Partnership by General Partner, nor shall the
General Partner be entitled to receive any repayment or other compensation or
consideration with respect to such offset amount.
Section 5.4 Historic Rehabilitation Credit Adjuster
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, for any
reason other than a change in the law having a retroactive impact on the tax
benefits allocable to Investor Limited Partner hereunder, (x) the written
determination by the Accountants of the aggregate amount of the Historic
Rehabilitation Credit is such that, or (y) the Partnership shall file a federal
income tax return showing that, or (z) there shall be a Final Determination
that, the aggregate amount of Historic Rehabilitation Credit allocated to
Investor Limited Partner is an amount less or greater than $3,752,690.00 (such
determination shall be referred to herein as the "Historic Credit
Determination"), then the Accountants shall calculate the difference between the
aggregate amount of Historic Rehabilitation Credit projected to be allocated to
Investor Limited Partner and the amount in fact allocated; if the aggregate
amount of Historic Rehabilitation Credit projected to be allocated to Investor
Limited Partner is greater than the amount in fact allocated, such amount shall
be referred to as the "Negative Historic Credit Difference"; if the aggregate
amount of Historic Rehabilitation Credit projected to be allocated to Investor
Limited Partner is less than the amount in fact allocated, such amount shall be
referred to as the "Positive Historic Credit Difference". In the event a
Historic Credit Determination is made that results in either a Negative Historic
Adjustment or a Positive Historic Adjustment, all subsequent Historic Credit
Determinations will be made on the basis of the initial amount of the Historic
Rehabilitation Credit allocated to the Investor Limited Partner as adjusted for
any prior Negative Historic Adjustment(s) and Positive Historic Adjustment(s).
(i) If there is a Negative Historic Credit Difference, the Negative
Historic Credit Difference will be multiplied by 89.25% and the resulting
product shall be the "Negative Historic Adjustment".
(ii) If there is a Positive Historic Credit Difference, the Positive
Historic Credit Difference will be multiplied by 85% and the resulting
product shall be the "Positive Historic Adjustment".
(iii) If at the time that a Negative Historic Adjustment is
determined Investor Limited Partner has not paid all of the Installments of
Investor Limited Partner's Capital Contributions, then the amount of the
remaining Capital Contribution Installment(s) to be paid by Investor
Limited Partner shall be reduced by the Negative Historic Adjustment. If
the Negative Historic Adjustment exceeds the aggregate of such remaining
Capital Contribution Installments, such excess shall constitute Excess
Adjustment and shall be repaid to Investor Limited Partner in accordance
with the terms of Section 5.13.
(iv) If at the time that a Negative Historic Adjustment is determined
Investor Limited Partner has paid in all of Investor Limited Partner's
Capital Contribution Installments, then the entire amount of such Negative
Historic Adjustment shall constitute an Excess Adjustment and shall be
repaid to Investor Limited Partner in accordance with the terms of Section
5.13.
(v) If at the time that a Positive Historic Adjustment is determined
Investor Limited Partner has not paid all of the Installments of Investor
Limited Partner's Capital Contributions, then the amount of the Second
Installment shall be increased by the amount of the Positive Historic
Adjustment.
(vi) If at the time that a Positive Historic Adjustment is determined
Investor Limited Partner has paid all of Investor Limited Partner's Capital
Contribution Installments, then Investor Limited Partner will make an
additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount of the
Positive Historic Adjustment within 30 days after Special Limited Partner's
receipt of notice from General Partner that such amount is payable and
documentation evidencing same.
In the event of a Positive Historic Adjustment, the first $150,000.00 of
any Capital Contribution (or portion thereof) made by Investor Limited Partner
that is attributable to such Positive Historic Adjustment shall be deposited in
the Operating Reserve and any remaining portion of such Capital Contribution
shall be paid or applied as provided in Section 5.7 and/or the Development
Agreement.
Section 5.5 Facade Donation Adjuster
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, for any
reason other than a change in the law having a retroactive impact on the tax
benefits allocable to Investor Limited Partner hereunder, (w) the written
determination by the Accountants (the form and substance of which shall be
approved with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner (with the prior
approval of its legal counsel)) of the amount the charitable deduction relating
to the Facade Donation is such that, or (x) based on the amount of the Facade
Donation Appraisal is determined by General Partner and Special Limited Partner
(with the prior approval of its legal counsel) that, or (y) the Partnership
shall file a federal income tax return showing that, or (z) there shall be a
Final Determination that, the charitable deduction allocable to Investor Limited
Partner as a result of the execution and delivery of the Facade Donation
Documents is less than the amount shown in the Projections (such determination
shall be referred to herein as the "Charitable Deduction Determination"), then
the Accountants shall calculate the difference between the aggregate amount of
the charitable deduction allocable to Investor Limited Partner as a result of
the execution and delivery of the Facade Donation Documents projected to be
allocated to Investor Limited Partner and the amount in fact allocated based on
(w), (x), (y) or, when applicable, (z) above; if the aggregate amount of such
charitable deduction projected to be allocated to Investor Limited Partner is
greater than the amount in fact allocated, such amount shall be referred to as
the "Negative Charitable Deduction Difference." In the event a Charitable
Deduction Determination is made which results in a Negative Charitable
Adjustment, any subsequent Charitable Deduction Determination will be made
taking into consideration all previous Negative Charitable Adjustment(s).
(i) If there is a Negative Charitable Deduction Difference, the
Negative Charitable Deduction Difference will be multiplied by 18.375% and
the resulting product shall be the "Negative Charitable Adjustment".
(ii) If at the time that a Negative Charitable Adjustment is
determined Investor Limited Partner has not paid all of the Installments of
Investor Limited Partner's Capital Contributions, then the amount of the
remaining Capital Contribution Installment(s) to be paid by Investor
Limited Partner shall be reduced by the Negative Charitable Adjustment. If
the Negative Charitable Adjustment exceeds the aggregate of such remaining
Capital Contribution Installments, such excess shall constitute Excess
Adjustment and shall be repaid to Investor Limited Partner in accordance
with the terms of Section 5.13.
(iii) If at the time that a Negative Charitable Adjustment is
determined Investor Limited Partner has paid in all of Investor Limited
Partner's Capital Contribution Installments, then the entire amount of such
Negative Charitable Adjustment shall constitute an Excess Adjustment and
shall be repaid to Investor Limited Partner in accordance with the terms of
Section 5.13.
Section 5.6 IRS Claims
A. In the event that a claim is made by the IRS (a "Claim") upon audit
which, if successful, would result in an adjustment to the Capital Contributions
of Investor Limited Partner or any payments pursuant to Sections 5.4, 5.5 or
5.13, General Partner, in General Partner's capacity as the TMP, shall, within
30 days after receiving notice of such Claim, notify Investor Limited Partner
and Special Limited Partner of the Claim (such notice being referred to as a
"Claim Notice") and request that Investor Limited Partner notify the Partnership
of Investor Limited Partner's intention either to contest such Claim or to
accept the same. If Investor Limited Partner elects to contest such Claim, the
TMP shall take such action in contesting such Claim on behalf of the Partnership
and Investor Limited Partner as the TMP reasonably deems necessary or as
directed by Special Limited Partner. In such event, all third party costs and
expenses incurred by the TMP in connection with such matter shall be borne by
the Partnership and/or the Partners in accordance with the provisions of Section
7.9. The failure of Special Limited Partner, within 30 days after the date of
the Claim Notice, to notify the Partnership of Investor Limited Partner's
intention to contest such Claim shall be deemed to be a decision to accept the
same.
B. In the event that Investor Limited Partner elects to accept such
Claim, General Partner may nevertheless contest the Claim by appropriate
proceedings, provided, however, that (i) General Partner elects to contest such
Claim, and in fact commences such contest, within any applicable period of
limitations, (ii) prior to contesting any such Claim, General Partner delivers
to Special Limited Partner security, satisfactory to Special Limited Partner,
securing General Partner's potential obligations under Section 5.4, 5.5, 5.13
and this Section 5.6, (iii) General Partner diligently prosecutes such contest,
and (iv) if, following the contest of such Claim by General Partner, all or a
portion of the Claim is sustained in a Final Determination, then there shall be
added to the adjustments referred to in Sections 5.4 and 5.5 an amount equal to
the interest, penalties, or any other amount assessed against Investor Limited
Partner for the period commencing on the date of the Claim Notice and ending on
the date of such Final Determination.
C. If, following a decision by General Partner to contest a Claim under
Section 5.6B above, 50% or more of the tax deficiency amount specified in the
Claim is sustained in a Final Determination, the costs and expenses of
contesting the Claim shall be borne solely by General Partner. If such Final
Determination results in less than 50% of the tax deficiency amount specified in
the Claim being upheld, the costs and expenses of contesting the Claim shall be
borne by the Partnership and/or the Partners in accordance with the provisions
of Section 7.9.
Section 5.7 Project Cost Overruns
In the event that the cost of construction, development, and Rehabilitation
of the Project exceeds the total project cost set forth in the Development
Budget, General Partner shall pay to the Partnership the amount of such excess.
Such payment or payments shall be made at such times as may be necessary to
assure that the costs of construction, development, and Rehabilitation of the
Project are timely paid. Except as provided in this Section 5.7, such payments
by General Partner shall not constitute loans nor contributions of capital to
the Partnership by General Partner, and General Partner will not be entitled to
receive any repayment or other compensation or consideration with respect to
such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Investor
Limited Partner's Capital Contributions are increased under Section 5.4 as a
result of the cost of construction, development, and Rehabilitation of the
Project exceeding the total project cost set forth in the Development Budget,
then the Partnership will reimburse General Partner for amounts paid by General
Partner under this Section 5.7, or will reimburse a Development Guarantor for
amounts paid by such Development Guarantor under the Development Guaranty
Agreement, upon receipt by the Partnership of Investor Limited Partner's
increased Capital Contribution, but such reimbursement shall not exceed the
excess of (i) amount of such increase in Investor Limited Partner's Capital
Contribution over (ii) the sum of $150,000.00. If the increase in Investor
Limited Partner's Capital Contribution is less than the aggregate of the amounts
paid by General Partner under this Section 5.7 and amounts paid by the
Development Guarantors under the Development Guaranty Agreement, then the
proceeds of Investor Limited Partner's increased Capital Contribution in excess
of $150,000.00 will be allocated between General Partner and the Development
Guarantors as determined by General Partner; provided, however, the Limited
Partners shall have no duty to determine the reasonableness of such allocation
or oversee the application of such funds by the General Partner to the General
Partner and/or the Development Guarantors.
Section 5.8 Operating Deficits and Operating Deficit Loans; Use of
Operating Deficit Reserve; and Cash Collateral Fund
A. (i) If at any time during the Initial Operating Period, the
Partnership requires funds to eliminate an Operating Deficit, then General
Partner shall use funds from the Operating Reserve, as may be necessary to
eliminate such Operating Deficit, until the Operating Reserve is depleted.
(ii) If, at any time during the Initial Operating Period after the
Operating Reserve is depleted, the Partnership requires funds to eliminate an
Operating Deficit, then such shortfall shall be funded by General Partner making
an Operating Deficit Loan to the Partnership. Such Operating Deficit Loan shall
be funded 1/2 from the Cash Collateral Fund (to the extent funds are available),
and 1/2 from General Partner (provided that to the extent that funds are not
available in the Cash Collateral Fund to pay the full 1/2 portion of such
shortage, General Partner will pay the difference as necessary, subject to the
Operating Deficit Loan Maximum). Notwithstanding the foregoing, General Partner
shall not be required to make an Operating Deficit Loan to the Partnership to
the extent that the outstanding principal amount of Operating Deficits Loans
equals or exceeds the Operating Deficit Loan Maximum. To the extent that the
principal amount of any Operating Deficit Loan is repaid to General Partner, the
amount of such repayment shall be credited against the aggregate amount of the
outstanding advances made by General Partner under this Section 5.8A(ii), and
the amount so repaid shall be available again for future Operating Deficit Loans
during the Initial Operating Period (e.g. the Operating Deficit Loans will be
"revolving" loans which have a maximum outstanding principal amount of the
Operating Deficit Loan Maximum). General Partner acknowledges that the maximum
aggregate principal amounts of the Operating Deficit Loans under this Section
5.8A(ii) will remain at the Operating Deficit Loan Maximum throughout the
Initial Operating Period.
(iii) In the event that during the Initial Operating Period the
Operating Reserve is depleted and General Partner fails to make an Operating
Deficit Loan as required under this Section 5.8A, then Special Limited Partner
may withdraw the amount which General Partner was required to loan to the
Partnership as a Operating Deficit Loan from the Cash Collateral Fund and use
such amounts to fund such Operating Deficit. No such withdrawal from the Cash
Collateral Fund by Special Limited Partner will be deemed to cure General
Partner's default with respect to the failure to make an Operating Deficit Loan,
and General Partner shall be required, in addition to all other obligations
under this Agreement, to restore to the Cash Collateral Fund the amount so
withdrawn, together with interest on such amount at the Designated Interest Rate
plus 7% from the date so withdrawn by Special Limited Partner until so restored.
B. In the event (i) during the Initial Operating Period the Operating
Reserve and the Cash Collateral Fund are each depleted and General Partner
either fails to make an Operating Deficit Loan or is not required to make an
Operating Deficit Loan pursuant to Section 5.8A, or (ii) there is an Operating
Deficit after the expiration of the Initial Operating Period, Investor Limited
Partner may, but shall not be obligated to, make an Investor Limited Partner
Loan to the Partnership.
Section 5.9 No Third-Party Rights in Operating Deficit Loans
The obligation of General Partner to make Operating Deficit Loans pursuant
to Section 5.8 is for the benefit of the Partnership and the Partners and shall
not inure to the benefit of any creditor of the Partnership other than a
Partner, notwithstanding any pledge or assignment by the Partnership of this
Agreement or any rights hereunder.
Section 5.10 No Third-Party Rights in Capital
The obligations or rights of the Partnership or of the Partners to make or
require any Capital Contribution under this Agreement shall not grant any rights
to, or confer any benefits upon, any Person who is not a Partner. The making of
a nonrecourse loan to the Partnership shall not make the lender a Partner.
Section 5.11 Letter of Credit.
At the Gap Loan Closing, Investor Limited Partner shall cause the Letter of
Credit to be issued in favor of the Lender. The Partnership shall reimburse the
Investor Limited Partner for the reasonable costs of obtaining the Letter of
Credit. In the event that the Lender draws upon the Letter of Credit, General
Partner shall immediately reimburse Investor Limited Partner, (or, if such
Letter of Credit was issued at the request of an Affiliate of Investor Limited
Partner, such Affiliate), for the amount so drawn together with any liability or
cost which Investor Limited Partner or such Affiliate may incur with respect to
such draw. The Letter of Credit shall be cancelled and released upon General
Partner and Investor Limited Partner making the Subordinated Partner Loans to
the Partnership. General Partner's obligations under this Section 5.11 will be
secured by the Development Guaranty Agreement, the Development Fee Note
Assignment, and the General Partner Pledge.
Section 5.12 Limited Partners' Right to Require Repurchase
A. In the event (a "Repurchase Event") that (i) the Partnership is in
default under the Mortgage Loan and the Lender has accelerated the Mortgage Loan
prior to the later of the date the Mortgage Loan becomes a Nonrecourse Liability
or prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, or (ii) the Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy Date does not occur on or before December 31, 1998, or
(iii) the Certificate of Occupancy Date and all conditions set forth in Section
5.2 do not occur on or before April 1, 1999, or (iv) the Negative Historic
Credit Difference is greater than 15% of the Historic Rehabilitation Credit to
be allocated to Investor Limited Partner set forth in the Projections, or (v)
the Partnership is in default under the Management Agreement prior to the later
of date the Mortgage Loan becomes a Nonrecourse Liability or the date of
issuance of the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, then General Partner shall,
within 30 days after the occurrence of such Repurchase Event, notify Investor
Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner of such event. If such notice is
required by a Repurchase Event described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv),
the Special Limited Partner shall have the option to require General Partner to
purchase the Special Limited Partner's and the Investor Limited Partner's
Partnership Interests at a price equal to (x) the amount of the Capital
Contribution which such Limited Partners have made, plus (y) Subordinated
Partner (including interest thereon) Loans and other amounts loaned or advanced
to the Partnership by the Limited Partners, plus (z) any reasonable out of
pocket costs or expenses incurred by Investor Limited Partner or Special Limited
Partner with respect to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any
penalties and interest attributable to a recapture of the Historic Rehabilita-
tion Credit), the Partnership, the Project, or General Partner's repurchase of
such Partnership Interests. If such notice is required by a Repurchase Event
described in clause (v), the Special Limited Partner shall reasonably determine
whether Manager may seek to terminate the Management Agreement and shall notify
General Partner of such determination. If General Partner fails to provide
Investor Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner within 15 days of receipt
of such notice from the Special Limited Partner with (a) evidence reasonably
satisfactory to them that Manager will not terminate the Management Agreement,
(b) evidence of the Partnership's cure of such default, or (c) a copy of suit
filed by the Partnership challenging the alleged default described in clause (v)
and evidence of reasonable diligence in prosecuting such challenge, the Special
Limited Partner shall then have the option to require the General Partner to
purchase the Partnership Interests of Investor Limited Partner and Special
Limited Partner at the price set forth above; provided, however, if the General
Partner provides such evidence and pleadings relating to the prosecution of such
challenge and subsequently fails to diligently prosecute such challenge or does
not prevail on such challenge for any reason, the Special Limited Partner shall
then have the option to require the General Partner to purchase the Partnership
Interests of Investor Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner at the price
set forth above.
B. If either Investor Limited Partner or Special Limited Partner elects to
require General Partner to repurchase such Partner's Partnership Interest, such
Partner shall notify General Partner whereupon General Partner shall, within 30
days of receipt of such notice, pay Investor Limited Partner or Special Limited
Partner, as applicable, the purchase price in cash or immediately available
funds. Upon such payment by General Partner, Investor Limited Partner or
Special Limited Partner, as applicable, shall be released from any further
obligations under this Agreement, the Project Documents, or otherwise relating
to the Partnership or the Project, and, to the full extent permitted by law,
Investor Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner, and each of Investor
Limited Partner's and Special Limited Partner's Affiliates, shall be indemnified
by General Partner against any losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and
amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by such Person in connection
with the Partnership or the Project.
Section 5.13 Repayment to Investor Limited Partner of Excess Adjustment
Any and all Excess Adjustments shall be repaid as provided in this Section
5.13. The Investor Limited Partner shall have the right to offset any or all of
the unpaid portion of the Second Installment and/or its Subordinated Partner
Loan up to the full amount of the Excess Adjustments. So long as there is any
Excess Adjustment outstanding, Distributions of Cash Flow to the General Partner
or its Affiliates will be allocated and distributed to Investor Limited Partner
and payments of the Developer Fee and/or payments on the Deferred Development
Note shall be applied in repayment of such Excess Adjustment prior to allocation
or distribution of any Cash Flow to General Partner or to General Partner's
Affiliates and or payments of the Developer Fee and/or payment on the Deferred
Development Note, until such time as funds have been so distributed or applied
to Investor Limited Partner under this Section in an amount equal to (i) the
Excess Adjustment, plus (ii) interest on such amount at a rate of 15% per annum
calculated from the date on which Investor Limited Partner's Capital
Contribution containing such amount was made until all of the Excess Adjustment
and all interest thereon is so repaid. Any amount so distributed or applied to
Investor Limited Partner under this Section shall be first applied to the
payment of interest, then to the payment of the Excess Adjustment. If the
Excess Adjustment and all interest thereon are not paid in full within 12 months
after the date on which such Excess Adjustment was determined, General Partner
shall pay to Investor Limited Partner the amount necessary to repay all amounts
then owing to Investor Limited Partner with respect to the Excess Adjustment and
all interest thereon and such payment by General Partner will be treated as an
Excess Adjustment Loan which will be repaid as provided in Section 6.2.
Section 5.14 Subordinated Partner Loans.
A. After the earlier of the date (i) the Gap Loan matures (other than by
reason of a default thereunder) or (ii) the Second Installment is made, and upon
satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 5.14B, the Investor Limited
Partner shall lend funds to the Partnership (a "Subordinated Partner Loan") in
the aggregate amount of $2,098,000.00 at any time within 5 days after the
General Partner gives notice to the Investor Limited Partner, of the need for
such funds; provided, however, that the Investor Limited Partner shall have the
right, exercisable by at least 3 days prior written notice to the General
Partner, to require the General Partner to participate in the funding of such
Subordinated Partner Loan by means of a Subordinated Partner Loan from the
General Partner up to an aggregate amount of $799,000.00, and in the event the
General Partner is so required to make such Subordinated Partner Loan, the
amount of the Investor Limited Partner's Subordinated Partner Loan shall be
reduced by the amount of the Subordinated Partner Loan the General Partner is so
required to make and the tender of such Subordinated Partner Loan by the
Investor Limited Partner to the Partnership, shall be conditioned on the receipt
by the Partnership of such required Subordinated Partner Loan from the General
Partner. General Partner's obligation to make a Subordinated Partner Loan as
provided in this Section 5.14A is conditioned on AmerUs Life Insurance Company
fulfilling its obligations under the Put Loan Documents.
B. The following are conditions precedent (which must, in any event,
occur on or before April 30, 1999) to funding of the Subordinated Partner Loan
by Investor Limited Partner:
(i) All of the conditions precedent to the Admission Date have been
and remain satisfied.
(ii) No Material Default has occurred, and no event has occurred which
with the passage of time or the giving of notice would constitute a
Material Default, and neither Investor Limited Partner nor Special Limited
Partner has delivered a notice of a Material Default which is currently
being contested by General Partner.
(iii) General Partner must deliver each of the following to
Special Limited Partner:
(a) Such estoppel certificate(s), in form and substance approved
by the Special Limited Partner, from the appropriate Governmental
Authority that the Partnership is not in default under the Primary Tax
Financing Documents to which such Governmental Authority is a party
and such Tax Financing Documents are in full force and effect;
provided, however, that if the General Partner is unable (in the
exercise of good faith and reasonable and diligent efforts) to obtain
such estoppel certificates in a timely manner solely as a result of
the inability of the applicable Governmental Authority to provide such
an estoppel within the time period in which all of the other
provisions in this Section 5.14B are satisfied, the General Partner
may provide a certificate setting forth a representation that the
General Partner is using and will continue to use such reasonable
diligent efforts to obtain such estoppel certificates.
(b) An estoppel certificate, dated not more than 30 days before
the date on which the Subordinated Partner Loan is due, from the
General Partner, in form the form attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit D.
(c) Evidence of written instructions from the Partnership
delivered to the Lender contemporaneously with the payoff of the Gap
Loan and requiring the original Letter of Credit to be marked
"CANCELLED" by Lender and delivered to Investor Limited Partner.
Section 5.15 Default By Investor Limited Partner
If Investor Limited Partner fails to pay an Installment of its Capital
Contribution when due and fails to pay such Installment within 10 days after
receipt of written notice from General Partner to Investor Limited Partner and
Special Limited Partner that Investor Limited Partner is in default, then
Investor Limited Partner will be in default under this Agreement. At any time
prior to the expiration of such 10 day period after receipt of such notice,
Investor Limited Partner will have the right to either (i) cure such default by
paying to the Partnership such past due amount, and, upon such cure, Investor
Limited Partner will be reinstated in good standing in the Partnership and the
rights of the Partnership and General Partner under this Section 5.15 with
respect to such default will terminate, or (ii) contest whether such a default
occurred by giving notice of such contest to General Partner within such 10 day
period, and if Investor Limited Partner so contests such default General
Partner's rights under this Section 5.15 will be tolled until it is determined
that such a default has occurred, provided, however, that unless General Partner
and Investor Limited Partner agree to a resolution of such contest within 30
days after Investor Limited Partner's notice of such contest, or unless General
Partner has instituted an appropriate action relating to such default with a
court of appropriate jurisdiction within such 30 day period, then such a default
will not be deemed to have occurred. If Investor Limited Partner fails to cure
or contest as provided above, then: (A) the Partnership Interests of Investor
Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner shall each be deemed to be those of
a Special Class Limited Partner and the holders thereof shall be entitled only
to such rights as an assignee of a Limited Partnership Interest may have as such
under the provisions of Section 11.4 of this Agreement, the Act, and other
applicable laws of the State; (B) Investor Limited Partner's share of
Partnership Items, Cash Flow, Refinancing Proceeds, and Sale Proceeds shall be
recalculated by multiplying Investor Limited Partner's share of such items had
Investor Limited Partner not defaulted under this Section 5.14 by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Capital Contributions actually made by Investor
Limited Partner, and the denominator of which is the total Capital Contribution
which Investor Limited Partner would otherwise have been required to make under
this Agreement; and (C) Investor Limited Partner shall have no further
obligation to make any additional Capital Contributions under this Agreement.
Section 5.16 Negative Capital Account Restoration.
A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
if, immediately following the "liquidation of a Partner's interest in the
Partnership" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(g)) with respect to a Partner, and in all events after giving effect
to (1) all allocations of income, gain, deduction, loss, tax credits and items
thereof pursuant to Article VI hereof through the date of such liquidation, (2)
any revaluation of Partnership Property or any part thereof pursuant to the
provisions hereof, (3) the foregoing capital contribution obligation provisions
of this Section 5 (which are in no way overridden by the provisions of this
Section 5.16), and (4) the distributions (including liquidating distributions)
made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, there is a negative balance
in the Capital Account of a Partner, such Partner shall contribute in cash to
the Partnership, within 30 days after the date of such liquidation, the amount
of its respective negative Capital Account balance (if any); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the maximum aggregate amount the Limited Partners (as a group) shall be
obligated to restore pursuant to this Section 5.16 shall in no event exceed the
sum of $4,000,000.00 less, to the extent not previously taken into account under
clause (1) above, the amount of the Limited Partners' Share of Partner
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain and Share of Partnership Minimum Gain.
B. All amounts contributed to the Partnership in accordance with
Paragraph (B) above shall first be used to satisfy any amounts then owing by the
Partnership to Recourse Creditors of the Partnership. Any portion of such
amounts not used to satisfy amounts owing to Recourse Creditors shall be
distributed to the Partner or Partners then having a positive balance in its or
their respective Capital Account(s) up to the aggregate of such positive Capital
Account balances (with such amounts distributed to such Partners in the ratio of
their positive Capital Account balances if more than one Partner's Capital
Account shall have a positive balance). For purposes of this Section 5.16,
"Recourse Creditors" means creditors of the Partnership that may enforce against
a general partner (in its capacity as a general partner) liability owed such
creditors by the Partnership, and nothing in this Section 5.16 shall be
construed to create any rights in creditors to any funds contributed to the
Partnership pursuant to this Section 5.16.
Section 5.17 Bridge Loan. In the event the Partnership has insufficient
funds available from Subordinate Partner Loans made pursuant to Section 5.14
and/or additional draws on the Mortgage Loan, to pay off the Gap Loan at
maturity, the General Partner shall make a loan to the Partnership in the amount
of such insufficiency (the "Bridge Loan") to enable the Partnership to pay off
the Gap Loan at maturity.
SECTION 6: PROFITS AND LOSSES; CREDITS; DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 6.1 Profits and Losses
A. After giving effect to the special allocation provisions of Section
6.5, Operating Profits and Losses and Tax Credits for any Partnership Fiscal

(if any) in the Capital Accounts of all Partners having negative balance Capital
Accounts shall be allocated to such Partners in proportion to their negative
Capital Account balances until all such Capital Accounts have zero balances; and
Second, an amount of Profits shall be allocated to each of the

Profits were available to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of
Clauses Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth of Section 6.2C.
As to Losses:
First, an amount of Losses equal to the aggregate positive balances
(if any) in the Capital Accounts of all Partners having positive balance Capital
Accounts shall be allocated to such Partners in proportion to their positive
Capital Account balances until all such Capital Accounts have zero balances;
provided, however, that if the amount of Losses so to be allocated is less than
the sum of the positive balances in the Capital Accounts of those Partners
having positive balances in their Capital Accounts, then such Losses shall be
allocated to the Partners in such proportions and in such amounts so that the
Capital Account balances of each Partner shall equal, as nearly as possible, the
amount such Partner would receive if an amount equal to the excess of (i) the
sum of all Partners' balances in their Capital Accounts computed prior to the
allocation of Losses under this clause First over (ii) the aggregate amount of
Losses to be allocated to the Partners pursuant to this clause First were
distributed to the Partners in accordance with the provisions of Clauses
Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth of Section 6.2C; and
Second, the balance, if any, of such Losses shall be allocated to each
of the Partners if such balance were distributed to the Partners in accordance
with the provisions of Clauses Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth of Section 6.2C.

Section 6.3 Liquidation
A. Upon the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership, unless the
business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to the provisions of Section
10, General Partner shall liquidate the assets of the Partnership and cause the
business of the Partnership to be wound up in accordance with the Act.
B. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3C, any Capital Proceeds from a
Terminating Capital Transaction remaining after payment of, or adequate
provision for, the debts and obligations of the Partnership shall be distributed
to those Partners with positive Capital Account balances (after taking into
account all Capital Account adjustments for the Partnership taxable year).
C. The parties intend that, as a result of the application of the
allocation and distribution provisions contained in this Section 6, any Sale
Proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction will be distributed in the same
manner as Sale Proceeds are distributed under the provisions of Section 6.2C.
If the Partnership is advised at any time by the Accountants or counsel to the
Partnership that an actual distribution of Sale Proceeds at the end of any
Fiscal Year in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3B would not result
in each Partner receiving the amount that such Partner would have received if
Section 6.2C rather than Section 6.3B applied to such distribution, General
Partner shall so notify Special Limited Partner and, with the Consent of Special
Limited Partner, shall amend the provisions of this Section 6 relating to the
allocation of Profits and Losses (other than the Regulatory Allocations) for
such Fiscal Year (and for subsequent Fiscal Years if necessary) to cure such
defect consistent with the principles set forth in the first sentence of this
Section 6.3C.
Section 6.4 Special Distribution Provisions
A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the
extent required (to maintain the Partnership's tax classification as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes) by Revenue Procedure 89-12 or any
successor provisions with respect thereto, General Partner shall receive, as an
aggregate distribution under Sections 6.2 or 6.3, not less than 1% of the
aggregate amounts distributed to all the Partners, in their status as such,
under Sections 6.2 or 6.3. In order to carry the immediately preceding sentence
into effect, in the event that any aggregate distribution to General Partner
would, but for the provisions of this paragraph, fail to equal or exceed 1% of
the aggregate amount distributable to all the Partners in their status as such,
then the amounts otherwise distributable to all the Partners, in their status as
such, under Sections 6.2 or 6.3 shall be reduced and reallocated to General
Partner in order to assure General Partner of General Partner's 1% share.
B. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 6.4, if the
funds available for any Distribution to the Partners are insufficient to
distribute to any class of Partners the maximum amount which otherwise would be
distributable to such class under the applicable provision(s) of this Section 6,
the amount available for distribution shall be distributed pro rata to the
members of such class in proportion to the aggregate amount that would be
distributed to them under such provision(s) if the Partnership hypothetically
had the minimum amount of funds to make the required distribution under such
provision in full.
Section 6.5 Special Allocation Provisions
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:
A. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated 98.99% to Investor Limited
Partner, 0.01% to Special Limited Partner, and 1% to General Partner.
B. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to and among the
Partners in the manner provided in the Allocation Regulations.
C. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.5R, 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.
D. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.5R, 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.
E. Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.5A through 6.5D, in the event
that any Limited Partner (who is not also a General 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 Limited
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 6.5E is intended to
constitute a "qualified income offset" provision within the meaning of the
Allocation Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
F. Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.5A through 6.5E, in no event
shall the Limited Partner be allocated Losses which would cause the Limited
Partner 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 6.5F
shall be allocated to General Partner.
G. Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.5A through 6.5F, in the event
that any Limited Partner (who is not also a General 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.
H. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.5B, if the Partnership
incurs recourse obligations to fund the payment of deductible items which are
not anticipated to be paid in the ordinary course of business (such obligations
and losses being referred to herein collectively as "Excess Expenses") in
respect of any Fiscal Year, then the calculation and allocation of Profits and
Losses shall be adjusted as follows: first, an amount of deductions equal to
such Excess Expenses for the Fiscal Year in question shall be allocated to
General Partner; and second, the balance of such deductions and all items of
gross income shall be allocated as provided in Section 6.1A. Nothing in this
Section 6.5H shall prevent the Partnership from recovering an extraordinary loss
from a General Partner who is liable therefor by law or under this Agreement.
If any Excess Expenses shall be repaid to the Partnership during any Fiscal
Year, then the allocation of Profit and Losses under Section 6.1A for such
Fiscal Year shall be adjusted as follows: first, General Partner shall be
allocated an amount of the gross income of the Partnership equal to the amount
of the Excess Expenses repaid in such Fiscal Year; and second, the balance of
such gross income and all items of deductions shall be allocated as provided in
Section 6.1A.
I. 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 such property's initial Gross Asset Value. In the event that the
Gross Asset Value of any Partnership Property is adjusted pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, 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 such asset's
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 General Partner in any manner that reasonably
reflects the purpose and intent of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this
Section 6.5I 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
Partner's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or
distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
J. 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 General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section
706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
K. If the IRS successfully disallows the deduction of all or any part of
any fee paid by the Partnership to General Partner or to General Partner's
Affiliates by recharacterizing such fee as a Distribution to General Partner,
there shall be, to the extent permitted by the Code, a special allocation of
gross income to such General Partner for the Fiscal Year with respect to which
such disallowed deduction was claimed by the Partnership in the amount of such
disallowed deduction.
L. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 6, all
Profits, Losses and Tax Credits allocated to each class of Partners shall be
shared by the respective Partners in such class in the ratio which the paid-in
Capital Contribution of each Partner in such class bears to the aggregate
paid-in Capital Contributions of all Partners in such class.
M. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the
extent required (to maintain the Partnership's tax classification as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes) by Revenue Procedure 89-12 or any
successor provisions with respect thereto, General Partner (or, if there is more
than one General Partner, all of General Partners as a group) shall be allocated
not less than 1% of each material item of Partnership income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit ("Partnership Items") at all times during the existence of
the Partnership, provided, however, that temporary non-conformance with the
provisions of this Section 6.5M shall be permitted to the extent permitted by
Revenue Procedure 89-12 or any successor provisions. Subject to the foregoing,
in the event that there is no allocation of a material Partnership Item to
General Partner(s) hereunder or if the amount of any material Partnership Item
allocable to General Partner(s) hereunder shall not equal 1% of the aggregate
amount allocable to all the Partners without giving effect to this provision,
then the amount of such Partnership Item(s) otherwise allocable to the Limited
Partners hereunder shall be correspondingly reduced in order to assure General
Partner(s) of General Partner's 1% share. Any such reduction shall be applied
to reduce the shares of all classes of Limited Partners in proportion to their
respective percentage interests.
N. 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, Investor Limited Partner shall be
deemed to have a 98.99% interest in Profits, Special Limited Partner shall be
deemed to have a 0.01% interest in Profits, and General Partner shall be deemed
to have a 1% interest in Profits.
O. Any recapture of any Historic Rehabilitation Credit shall be allocated
to and among the Partners in the same manner and proportions in which the
Historic Rehabilitation Credit was allocated to such Partners.
P. In the event the adjusted tax basis of any investment credit property
that has been placed in service by the Partnership is increased pursuant to
Section 50(c) of the Code, such increase shall be 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. Any reduction in the adjusted tax basis (or cost) of
Partnership investment credit property pursuant to Section 50(c) of the Code
shall be 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 Regulation Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i).
Q. The basis (or cost) of any Partnership investment credit property
shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i). In the event Partnership investment 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 (i) the reduction in the adjusted tax
basis (or cost) of such property pursuant to Section 50(c) of the Code, over
(ii) any increase in the adjusted tax basis of such property, shall be allocated
among the Partners in proportion to their respective shares of such excess
determined pursuant to Section 6.5P. In the event that 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 that 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, etc.
R. If for any Fiscal Year the application of the minimum gain chargeback
provisions of Section 6.5C or Section 6.5D would cause a 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,
General Partner shall, if requested by the Special Limited Partner, request a
waiver from the Commissioner of the IRS of the application in whole or in part
of Section 6.5C or Section 6.5D 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 IRS pronouncements, 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 the Investor Limited Partner.
S. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all items
of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and other items not specifically
provided for shall be allocated to and among the Partners in the same manner as
Profits and Losses are allocated pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1.
Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.5S 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 Partner's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, Tax
Credits or Distributions pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement.
Section 6.6 Order of Application
The provisions of this Section 6 shall be applied in the order required by
the applicable provisions of the Allocation Regulations or if no such order is
specified, in the manner determined by the Accountants with the Consent of the
Special Limited Partner to be necessary to cause the allocations to have
"substantial economic effect" given the manner and relative priorities in which
the Partners have agreed to share in distributions of Net Cash Flow, Refinancing

dently or with others, including, but not limited to, the ownership, financing,
leasing, operation, construction, rehabilitation, renovation, improvement,
management and development of real property whether or not such real property is
directly or indirectly in competition with the Project. Neither the Partnership
nor any other Partner shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in and
to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom,
regardless of the location of such real property and whether or not such venture
was presented to such Partner as a direct or indirect result of such Partner's
connection with the Partnership or the Project.
Section 7.3 Business Management and Control; Designation of Managing
General Partner
A. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, General Partner shall
have the exclusive right to manage the business of the Partnership and, except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, shall have all of the rights and
powers granted to general partners pursuant to the provisions of the Act. No
Limited Partner (except one who may also be a General Partner, and then only in
such Partner's capacity as a General Partner) shall (i) have any authority or
right to act for or bind the Partnership, or (ii) except as required by law,
participate in or have any control over the Partnership business. Any action
required or permitted to be taken by a corporate General Partner hereunder may
be taken by such of corporate General Partner's properly authorized officers or
agent as such corporate General Partner may validly designate for such purpose.
B. If at any time there is more than one General Partner, the powers and
duties of General Partners hereunder shall be exercised in the first instance by
the Managing General Partner who, subject to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, shall manage the business and affairs of the Partnership. Each
Managing General Partner is hereby authorized to execute and deliver in the name
and on behalf of the Partnership all such documents and papers (including any
required by any Governmental Authority or the Lender) as such Managing General
Partner deems necessary or desirable in carrying out such duties hereunder,
provided such documents and papers are consistent with the terms of this
Agreement. HRI is hereby designated as the initial Managing General Partner.
In the event that HRI shall become unable to serve in such capacity or shall
cease to be a General Partner, or shall have been removed or replaced by Special
Limited Partner as provided in this Agreement, Special Limited Partner may
designate another General Partner, if there is then another General Partner, as
Managing General Partner, and HRI shall take such actions and execute such
documents as Special Limited Partner may reasonably request to reflect such
removal or replacement and the appointment of such other General Partner as
Managing General Partner. Any action required or permitted to be taken by a
corporate General Partner hereunder may be taken by such of corporate General
Partner's proper officers or agents as such corporate General Partner shall
validly designate for such purpose.
C. In the event that a Material Default occurs, and in addition to any
other rights granted to Investor Limited Partner or Special Limited Partner
hereunder, including, without limitation, Special Limited Partner's right to
remove and replace General Partner pursuant to the provisions of Section 8,
Special Limited Partner may, at Special Limited Partner's election, proceed to
exercise Special Limited Partner's rights under this Section 7.3 by giving
notice of such Material Default to General Partner, except in the case of a
Terminating Event with respect to a sole General Partner, in which case no
notice to General Partner shall be required and the rights of Special Limited
Partner set forth in this Section shall be immediately exercisable. If such
default is not cured within 10 business days of such notice (and, with respect
to defaults other than those which relate to the payment of money and which by
the nature of such default cannot be cured within such ten day period, no
default will be deemed to have occurred under this Section if General Partner,
within such ten day period, in good faith commences actions which are likely to
cure such default and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion, and, in any
event, there has been no assignment of or institution of proceedings to
foreclose under the Deed of Trust), Special Limited Partner may elect to become,
or to designate another Person to become, an additional General Partner with all
the rights and privileges of a General Partner. Upon such election by Special
Limited Partner, Special Limited Partner or such other Person shall
automatically become and shall be deemed to be a General Partner and the
Managing General Partner, if Special Limited Partner so elects, and each Partner
hereby irrevocably appoints Special Limited Partner (with full power of
substitution) as the attorney-in-fact of such Partner for the purpose of
executing, acknowledging, swearing to, recording and/or filing any amendment to
this Agreement necessary or appropriate to confirm the foregoing but the
foregoing appointment of an attorney-in-fact shall not relieve the defaulting
General Partner from its duty to take such action and execute such documents as
Special Limited Partner may reasonably request to reflect such election by the
Special Limited Partner. If Special Limited Partner shall become an additional
General Partner as provided in this Section, Special Limited Partner's
Partnership Interest shall not be increased as a result thereof. In the event
of the admission of Special Limited Partner or such Person as a General Partner
pursuant to this Section, and if there are then any other General Partners,
Special Limited Partner or such other Person, shall have all managerial rights,
authority and all voting rights on any matters to be decided or voted upon by
General Partners or the Managing General Partner, as the case may be.
Section 7.4 Duties and Obligations of General Partner

required for the Partnership's welfare and success, including, without
limitation, such of General Partner's time as may be necessary to (i) supervise

(vii) do all other things which may be necessary to manage the affairs and

Partner shall review regularly all of the Partnership and Project insurance
coverage to insure that such coverage is adequate and that such coverage

building" within the meaning of Section 47(c)(1)(A) of the Code.
E. General Partner will use General Partner's best efforts to take all
necessary actions to ensure that the Rehabilitation expenditures incurred in
connection with the Project will constitute "qualified rehabilitation
expenditures" within the meaning of Section 47(g)(2) of the Code, and the
Partnership will make the elections and otherwise comply with the provisions of
Sections 46, 47(g), 49 and 168 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder.

G. General Partner agrees that, except as provided in or contemplated by
the Project Documents, neither General Partner nor any Related Person will at
any time bear the economic risk of loss for payment of the Mortgage Loan or the
Gap Loan. General Partner agrees that General Partner will not cause any
Limited Partner at any time to bear the economic risk of loss for payment or
performance under the Mortgage Loan or the Gap Loan.
H. General Partner shall (i) not store (except in compliance with all
laws, ordinances, and regulations pertaining thereto), or dispose of any
Hazardous Material at the Project, 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,

conduct any General Partner is or was responsible or whose liability may result
in a lien on the Project; (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 Governmental 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 Project.
I. If General Partner becomes aware of the presence of levels of
Hazardous Material at (or in connection with the operations of) the Project, in
concentrations and under conditions deemed detrimental to human health under any
applicable Hazardous Substance Laws, and/or in quantities or proportions that
exceed safe limits for such substance established by any such Hazardous
Substance Laws, General Partner shall (i) notify all Partners of such situation
and (ii) take all actions necessary to correct such situation as expeditiously
as possible and to prevent the Project from being in violation of any Hazardous
Substance Laws, provided, however, that General Partner may use Partnership
funds for such purposes and shall not be required by the provisions hereof to
use General Partner's own personal funds, except as may be required pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.
J. General Partner represents that General Partner has a net worth
sufficient to satisfy the Designated Net Worth Standard. HRI covenants that (i)
during the Initial Operating Period, HRI will maintain a net worth equal to or
greater than $4,000,000.00 determined in accordance with GAAP and (ii) HRI will
not, without the Consent of Special Limited Partner, which Consent may be
withheld or granted in Special Limited Partner's sole and absolute discretion,
reduce HRI's net worth including, but not limited to, by making distributions to
any of HRI's principals or other owners of a beneficial interest in HRI, by way
of payment of dividends to stockholders, increasing salaries paid to officers,
making any other distributions to stockholders, officers or directors of an
Entity comprising HRI, or taking any other action which would reduce the net
worth of HRI below that required to meet the Designated Net Worth Standard.
K. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither General
Partner, nor any director, employee or agent of any General Partner, or of
General Partner's subcontractors or vendors, shall give to or receive from any
director, employee, agent or other Affiliate of Investor Limited Partner or
third party, any gift or entertainment of significant value or any commission,
fee, rebate or other compensation in connection with the organization, business,
sale or operations of the Partnership. In addition, neither General Partner
nor any director, employee, agent or other Affiliate of any General Partner, nor
any subcontractors or vendors of General Partner or any Affiliate of General
Partner, shall enter into any business arrangement with any director, employee,
agent or other Affiliate of Investor Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner
who is not acting as a representative of Investor Limited Partner or Special
Limited Partner, or their Affiliates, with prior written notification thereof to
them. Any representatives authorized by Investor Limited Partner and Special
Limited Partner may audit any and all records of General Partner and the
Partnership, and any subcontractors or vendors of either for the sole purpose of
determining whether there has been compliance with the provisions of this
Section 7.4K. In the event the General Partner or its Affiliates engage in
transactions with third parties in which any monetary benefit is derived by the
General Partner (other than in its status as General Partner) or its Affiliates
with respect to other interests or properties or interests held by the General
Partner and/or Affiliate, the General Partner shall fully disclose the terms of
such dealings and the compensation derived thereby to the Special Limited
Partner.
L. In operating the Project, General Partner shall use reasonable efforts
to obtain all contracts, materials, supplies, utilities and services required by
the Project on the most advantageous terms available to the Project. General
Partner shall secure and credit to the Partnership, and not receive or retain
for itself, General Partner's agents, employees or Affiliates, any discounts,

N. 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) the
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 General Partner or any Affiliate shall be compensated by
the Partnership for such Person's services; provided, however, that the validity
of any transaction, agreement or payment involving the Partnership and the
General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner otherwise permitted
hereunder shall not be affected by reason of the relationship between such
Person and the Partnership or any of its partners. Any contract covering such
transactions shall be in writing and shall be terminable without penalty on 60
days' notice. Any payment made to General Partner or any Affiliate pursuant to
such contracts and transaction shall be fully disclosed to the Limited Partners

of the Partnership's rights, claims or causes of action under or pursuant to
such transactions or contracts (including, but not limited to, the Construction
and Design Contract and the Development Agreement). Neither General Partner nor
any Affiliate or General Partner shall, by the making of lump-sum payments to
any other Person for disbursement by such other Person or otherwise, circumvent
the provisions of this Section 7.4N.
Section 7.5 Certain Payments to the Developer and Developer's Affiliates
A. As a fee for the Developer's services in connection with the
development of the Property in accordance with the Development Agreement, the
Developer shall receive a fee (the "Development Fee") in the amount set forth in
the Development Agreement. The Partnership acknowledges that Developer shall
have earned 60% of the Development Fee as of the Admission Date and that the
Developer shall have earned the remaining 40% of the Development Fee based on
the percentage of completion of the Rehabilitation. If the Development Fee has
not been fully paid by the fifteenth anniversary of the Temporary Certificate of
Occupancy Date, General Partner shall make a payment to the Partnership in an
amount sufficient to enable the Partnership to pay any unpaid portion of the
Development Fee, and the Partnership shall so pay such fee. Such payment by
General Partner shall not constitute a loan nor contribution of capital to the
Partnership by General Partner, and General Partner will not be entitled to
receive any repayment or other compensation or consideration with respect to
such amounts.
B. The Partnership also shall enter into the Incentive Partnership
Management Agreement with the General Partner under which the General Partner
shall agree to provide consulting services to the Partnership and Project, to
undertake to perform such bookkeeping, financial and reporting services to be
performed under Section 9 (other than those to be performed by the Accountants)
as the Partnership may request, and to perform the other services provided in
the Incentive Partnership Management Agreement. The Incentive Partnership
Management Agreement shall provide that the sole compensation payable to the
General Partner for such services shall be the Incentive Partnership Management
Fee if and to the extent funds are available for the payment thereof out of Cash
Receipts of the Partnership, which fees for each Fiscal Year shall be calculated
in the manner specified in the Incentive Partnership Management Agreement.
Section 7.6 Fiduciary Duty of General Partner
The relationship of General Partner to the Limited Partners is that of a
fiduciary, and General Partner has a fiduciary obligation to perform General
Partner's duties in such manner as will serve the best interests of the
Partnership and the Limited Partners, provided, however, that General Partner
shall have the right to develop and operate other hotel projects in the City in
competition with the Project. General Partner shall not have the right to
contract away of General Partner's fiduciary duties under the common law of
agency, and General Partner shall not attempt to enter into any such contract,
and if, notwithstanding the foregoing, General Partner nonetheless attempts to
enter into such a contract, such a contract will be void and of no force or
effect.
Section 7.7 Indemnification
A. No General Partner shall have any liability to the Partnership or to
any Partner for any loss suffered by the Partnership which arises out of any
action or inaction of such General Partner if such General Partner, in good
faith, determined that such course of conduct was in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and in the best interest of the Partnership and such course of
conduct did not constitute negligence or wilful misconduct of such General
Partner. To the full extent permitted by law, each General Partner shall be
indemnified by the Partnership against any losses, judgments, liabilities,
expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by such Person
in connection with the Partnership, provided that the same were not the result
of negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of such General Partner and were
the result of a course of conduct which such General Partner, in good faith,
determined was in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the best
interest of the Partnership. Any indemnity under this Section 7.7 shall be
provided out of and to the extent of Partnership assets only, and no Limited
Partner shall have any personal liability on account thereof.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.7A, no General Partner, no
Person acting as a broker-dealer, nor any Affiliate thereof, shall be
indemnified for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an
alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless (i) there has been
a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged
securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves
indemnification of litigation costs, or (ii) such claims have been dismissed
with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
particular indemnitee and the court approves indemnification of litigation
costs, or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the
claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the
settlement and related costs should be made.
C. The Partnership shall not incur the costs of that portion of any
insurance, other than public liability insurance, which insures any Person
against any liability as to which such Person is herein prohibited from being
indemnified. Nothing contained in this Section 7.7, however, shall restrict the
right of the Partnership to (i) indemnify unaffiliated Persons who will be
performing services on behalf of the Partnership, including but not limited to
consultants, engineers and experts, pursuant to any contract entered into by a
General Partner on behalf of the Partnership in order to carry out the
objectives of the Partnership, or (ii) apply Partnership funds, including,
without limitation, proceeds of public liability insurance in favor of the
Partnership, to cover damage to property or personal injuries to unaffiliated
Persons.
Section 7.8 Liability of General Partner to Limited Partners
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, no General
Partner shall be liable, responsible or accountable for damages or otherwise to
any Limited Partner for any act which such Person, in good faith, determined to
be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and within the scope of the
authority conferred by this Agreement, except for acts of breaches of fiduciary
duty, negligence, or wilful misconduct or for damages arising from any material
misrepresentation or breach of any covenant or warranty set forth herein. In
any instance in which a General Partner is in doubt as to the propriety of any
proposed action or omission under the terms of this Agreement, such General
Partner may, but shall not be under any duty to, seek the ratification of such
action or omission by the Consent of Special Limited Partners. If such Consent
of Special Limited Partner is obtained thereto, such General Partner shall be
fully protected in relying thereon, and actions or omissions in reliance thereon
shall not be deemed to be a breach of any provisions of this Agreement.
Section 7.9 Tax Matters Partner
A. The Tax Matters Partner ("TMP") for the Partnership shall be General
Partner (or, if there is a Managing General Partner, the Managing General
Partner) serving in such capacity from time to time.
B. The TMP shall have the right to resign as the TMP by giving 30 days'
written notice to each Partner, provided there is another General Partner
willing to serve in such capacity; if there is no other General Partner then
willing to service in such capacity, the TMP will continue to serve in such
capacity until such time as another General Partner agrees to become the TMP.
Upon the resignation, death, legal incompetency or Bankruptcy of the Person
serving as the TMP, any successor to the interest of the TMP pursuant to the
applicable provisions of this Section 7.9 shall be designated as the successor
TMP, but such designee shall not become the TMP until the designation of such
Person has been approved by the Consent of Special Limited Partner.
C. The TMP shall employ experienced tax counsel to represent the
Partnership in connection with any audit or investigation of the Partnership by
the IRS, and in connection with all subsequent administrative and judicial
proceedings arising out of such audit. The fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be a Partnership expense and shall be paid by the Partnership. Such
counsel shall be responsible for representing the Partnership. General Partner
and Limited Partners, at their respective expense, shall be responsible to pay
the tax counsel employed by such Partner to represent their respective separate
interests.
D. The TMP shall keep the Partners informed of all administrative and
judicial proceedings, as required by Section 6623(g) of the Code, and shall
furnish to each Partner a copy of each notice or other communication received by
the TMP from the IRS (except such notices or communications as are sent directly
to such Partner by the IRS). All third party costs and expenses incurred by the
TMP in serving as the TMP shall be Partnership expenses and shall be paid by the
Partnership, provided, however, that if the Partnership does not have sufficient
funds to pay such costs and expenses, General Partners shall make additional
Capital Contributions to the Partnership to pay such costs and expenses.
E. The TMP shall not have the authority, unless such action has been
approved by the Consent of Special Limited Partner, which Consent may be
withheld or granted in Special Limited Partner's sole and absolute discretion,
to do all or any of the following:
(i) to enter into a settlement agreement with the IRS which purports
to bind Partners other than the TMP,
(ii) to file a petition as contemplated in Section 6226(a) or 6228 of
the Code,
(iii) to intervene in any action as contemplated in Section
6226(b) of the Code,
(iv) to file any request contemplated in Section 6227(b) of the Code,
or
(v) to enter into an agreement extending the period of limitations as
contemplated in Section 6229(b)(1)(B) of the Code.
F. The relationship of the TMP to Limited Partners is that of a
fiduciary, and the TMP has a fiduciary obligation to perform the TMP's duties in
such manner as will serve the best interests of the Partnership and Limited
Partners.
G. The Partnership shall indemnify the TMP (including the officers and
directors of a corporate TMP) against judgments, fines, amounts paid in
settlement, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by them
in any civil, criminal or investigative proceeding in which they are involved or
threatened to be involved by reason of being the TMP, provided that the TMP
acted in good faith, within what is reasonably believed to be the scope of the
TMP's authority and for a purpose which the TMP reasonably believed to be in the
best interests of the Partnership or the Partners. The TMP shall not be
indemnified under this provision against any liability to the Partnership or the
Partners to any greater extent than the indemnification allowed by Section 7.7.
The indemnification provided hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any applicable
statute, agreement, vote of the Partners, or otherwise.
Section 7.10 Access and Reports
General Partner shall permit Investor Limited Partner and Special Limited
Partner and their representatives to have access to the Project at all
reasonable times during normal business hours and to examine all agreements and
the Plans and Specifications relating to the Project and shall deliver copies

promptly provide Investor Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner with
copies of all correspondence, notices and reports sent pursuant to and received
under the Project Documents or from any Governmental Authority with respect to
the Project, together with copies of all other correspondence which a prudent
investor would wish to examine in connection with a similar transaction.

(ii) such Limited Partner may retain separate co-counsel at such Limited

Limited Partner concludes reasonably that the counsel General Partner has
selected has a conflict of interest), (iii) General Partner will not consent to
the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the

SECTION 8: REMOVAL OF GENERAL PARTNER
Section 8.1 General
In addition to any other rights granted to Investor Limited Partner
hereunder, Special Limited Partner shall have the right to remove and replace
General Partner in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3, or to replace
General Partner as Managing General Partner in accordance with the provisions of
Section 7.3C, or to take both such actions in such manner or sequence as Special
Limited Partner determines in its absolute discretion, if a Material Default
occurs.
Section 8.2 Set Off
The Partnership, Investor Limited Partner, and Special Limited Partner will
have a right of setoff against any amount due or owing from the Partnership,
Investor Limited Partner, or Special Limited Partner, as applicable, to General
Partner or any Affiliate of General Partner with respect to any obligation of
General Partner or any Affiliate of General Partner under this Agreement or the
Project Documents. All rights of setoff may be exercised without notice or
demand to General Partner or any Affiliate of General Partner. No right of
setoff will be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of
the Partnership, Investor Limited Partner, or Special Limited Partner, or by any
neglect to exercise such right of setoff, or by any delay in doing so. Every
right of setoff will continue in full force and effect until specifically waived
or released by an instrument in writing executed by the Partnership and Special
Limited Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Partnership,
Investor Limited Partner, nor Special Limited Partner may exercise any right of
setoff unless the Partnership, Investor Limited Partner, or Special Limited
Partner, as applicable, at least 10 days prior to the exercise of the right of
setoff, has delivered written notice of such claimed right of setoff to General
Partner, which notice will specify in reasonable detail the basis of the claimed
right of setoff. If General Partner disagrees with the claimed right of setoff,
then, prior to the end of the 10 day period referred to above, General Partner
will deliver to the Partnership, Investor Limited Partner, and Special Limited
Partner written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the reasons why the
claimed right of setoff is not available. If General Partner delivers such
notice, the right of set-off with respect to such contested matter will be
tolled until such contest is settled, provided, however, that unless General
Partner and Special Limited Partner agree to a resolution of such contest within
30 days after the notice by General Partner of such contest, or unless General
Partner has instituted an appropriate action relating to such contest with a
court of appropriate jurisdiction within such 30 day period, then such right of
set off with respect to such contested matter may be exercised as of the end of
such 30 day period.
Section 8.3 Removal of General Partner
A. In the event that Special Limited Partner determines to remove General
Partner pursuant to Section 8.1, Special Limited Partner shall notify General
Partner in writing, within 5 days after such determination, of the Material
Default that is the cause for the removal of General Partner. General Partner
shall have 30 days from receipt of the notice to cure the Material Default;
provided, however, that if a Material Default, other than a monetary default,
cannot be reasonably cured within such 30 days, Special Limited Partner will not
have the right to remove General Partner under 8.1 provided that within such 30
day period General Partner in good faith commences actions which are likely to
cure such Material Default and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
If General Partner fails to cure within the specified time period, Special
Limited Partner shall notify General Partner of the effective date of General
Partner's removal promptly after the cure period has expired; provided, however,
in the event the General Partner is removed pursuant to this Section 8.3, the
General Partner shall take such actions and execute such documents as the
Special Limited Partner may reasonably request to reflect such removal. Each
Partner hereby irrevocably appoints Special Limited Partner (with full power of
substitution) as the attorney-in-fact of such Partner for the purpose of
executing, acknowledging, swearing to, recording and/or filing any amendment to
this Agreement necessary or appropriate to confirm the foregoing.
B. If General Partner is removed pursuant to this Section 8.3, the
Partnership shall, subject to Section 8.2, pay to General Partner an amount
equal to (i) the sum of (a) any fees earned and unpaid through the date of
removal due to General Partner or General Partner's Affiliates under
Section 7.5, (b) an amount equal to the General Partner's positive Capital
Account balance, if any, following a deemed sale of the Project and a deemed
liquidation of the Partnership, and (c) the principal balance and any accrued
but unpaid interest on the General Partner's Subordinated Partner Loan, any
Operating Deficit Loans, and any Voluntary General Partner Loans (but prior to
any deemed distributions upon liquidation), minus (ii) an amount equal to the
sum of (x) the amount, as of the date of removal, of any then outstanding
Investor Limited Partner Loans, together with interest on such amounts as of the
date of removal, (y) any indebtedness or amount(s) owed by the General Partner
or any Affiliate of General Partner to any Limited Partner or Affiliate of a
Limited Partner, and (z) any loss or damage suffered by the Partnership or
Limited Partners as a result of the Material Default creating the right of
Special Limited Partner to remove General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.3
other than any such loss or damage which is accounted for pursuant to subsection
(x) above. Within 30 days after the date the General Partner is removed
pursuant to this Section 8.3, or, if later, within 10 days after the date the
fair market value of the Project is determined pursuant to Section 8.3D below,
the General Partner shall pay the amount, if any, by which the aggregate amount
described in (ii)(x), (y) and (z) above exceeds the aggregate amount described
in (i)(a), (b) and (c) above.
C. For purposes of this Section 8.3C, the net proceeds from a deemed sale
of the Project shall be equal to 95% of the fair market value of the Project
plus 97% of the fair market value of all other Partnership property, including
but not limited to cash and cash equivalents as of the date of removal, less the
outstanding balance of the Deed of Trust Loan and any other obligations of the
Partnership to third parties as of the date of removal.
D. The fair market value of the Project as of the date of removal shall
be determined as follows: If the Special Limited Partner and the General
Partner are unable to mutually agree on the fair market value of the Project,
then as soon as practicable and in any event within 30 days following the notice
from Special Limited Partner to General Partner specified in the penultimate
sentence of Section 8.3A above, General Partner and Special Limited Partner
shall select a mutually acceptable independent MAI appraiser to act as a single
appraiser. If the parties are unable to agree upon such an appraiser within
such 30 day period, then, within 30 days following the end of such 30 day
period, General Partner and Special Limited Partner shall each select an MAI
appraiser who has at least 10 years' experience is appraising properties similar
to the Project in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. If either General
Partner or Special Limited Partner fails to appoint such an appraiser within
such time and if the other party has appointed such an appraiser within such
time, then the appraiser so appointed will be deemed to be a mutually acceptable
appraiser to act as a single appraiser. If two appraisers are so appointed,
each appraiser shall estimate the fair market value of the Project. If the
difference between the two appraisals is within 10% of the lower of the two
appraisals, the fair market value shall be the average of the two appraisals.
If the difference between the two appraisals is greater than 10% of the lower of
the two appraisals, then the two appraisers shall jointly select a third
similarly qualified appraiser whose determination of fair market value shall be
deemed binding on all parties. If the two appraisers are unable jointly to
select a third appraiser, either General Partner or Special Limited Partner may,
upon written notice to the other, apply to the individual who is, at the time,
the most senior in service, active Judge of the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Texas for the selection of the third appraiser who
shall then participate in such appraisal proceeding, and who shall be selected
from a list of names of M.A.I. appraisers submitted by General Partner and
Special Limited Partner. Each list of names of appraisers shall be submitted in
writing within 10 days after the date on which the appraisal proceeding is
invoked, or will be disregarded and the appraiser shall be selected from the
list provided. The Partnership shall pay the cost of any appraisers selected
pursuant to this Section 8.3D.
E. In the event of the removal of General Partner pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 8.3, any amounts due to General Partner pursuant to
the provisions of Section 8.3B shall be payable solely from the distribution
Refinancing Proceeds which would otherwise have been paid to General Partner as
and when provided under Section 6.2B., Clause Fourteenth or Fifteenth (as the
case may be) and from Sale Proceeds which would otherwise have been paid to
General Partner as and when provided under Section 6.2C., Clause Thirteenth or
Fourteenth (as the case may be). In addition, in the event of such removal,
with respect to any amounts due to General Partner pursuant to the provisions of
Section 8.3B with respect to the Subordinated Partner Loan made by General
Partner, Voluntary General Partner Loans, and Operating Deficit Loans, such
amounts will also be repaid out of Cash Flow as and when provided in Clauses
Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh of Section 6.2.A., respectively.
F. Upon the removal of General Partner, General Partner shall be relieved
of all of General Partner's obligations to the Partnership relating to matters
occurring after the effective date of such removal; provided that General
Partner and General Partner's Affiliates shall remain fully liable for all
matters which relate to any act which occurred prior to the effective date of
such removal.
G. In the event that General Partner is removed pursuant to this Section
8.3, then Special Limited Partner may designate a Person or Persons to become
the successor General Partner or Partners replacing the removed General Partner,
with the approval of any Person required under the Project Documents and
provided that any such successor General Partner or Partners shall agree to be
bound by the Project Documents, and any other documents required in connection
therewith.

Partners and such Partner's duly authorized representatives shall have the right

shall notify Investor Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner thereof.
Section 10.3 Successor General Partner
A. Upon the occurrence of any Terminating Event referred to in
Section 10.2, the remaining General Partners may (but are not required to)

Partnership shall be governed by this Agreement as the same may be amended by
the then Partners in the Partnership.

General Partner shall have the option to acquire the predecessor General
Partner's Partnership Interest by paying to such General Partner or General
Partner's representatives (i) the fair market value of such Partnership
Interest, if such predecessor General Partner was not in violation of any of the
covenants or undertakings contained in this Agreement, or has violated any
representation or warranty contained herein, or, (ii) if such predecessor
General Partner was in violation of any of the covenants or undertakings
contained in this Agreement, or has violated any representation or warranty
contained herein, by paying the amount, if any, due to such predecessor General
Partner under Section 8.3B.
B. If no successor General Partner is designated or if the designated
successor General Partner of the predecessor General Partner does not desire to
purchase the Partnership Interest of the predecessor General Partner, such
Partnership Interest of the predecessor General Partner shall automatically and
without the need for any confirmatory documentation therefor be converted into
that of a Special Class Limited Partner and the holder thereof shall be entitled
only to such rights as the assignee of a Limited Partnership Interest may have
as such under the provisions of Section 11.4, the Act and other applicable laws
of the State.
C. Upon the occurrence of a Terminating Event (other than a Terminating
Event which constitutes a Material Default) as to any General Partner, such
General Partner (the "Retired General Partner") shall be deemed to have
automatically Transferred to the remaining General Partners, in proportion to
their respective General Partnership interests, or, if there shall be no
remaining General Partners, then to the Partnership for the benefit of the
remaining Partners, all or such portion of General Partnership Interest of such
Retired General Partner which, when aggregated with the existing General
Partnership Interests of all such remaining General Partners, if any, will be
sufficient to assure such remaining General Partners and any successor General
Partner a 1% interest in all Profits, Losses, Tax Credits and Distributions of
the Partnership under Section 6. No documentation shall be necessary to
effectuate such Transfer, which shall be automatic. That portion of General

right to receive that share of the Profits, Losses, Tax Credits, and
Distributions of the Partnership to which the Retired General Partner as such,
would have been entitled had such Terminating Event not occurred, reduced to the
extent of General Partnership Interest transferred hereunder, but such Retired
General Partner (or such Retired General Partner's legal representatives in the
case of a deceased General Partner) shall not be considered to be a Limited
Partner for the purpose of sharing the benefits allocated to the Limited
Partners under Section 6 and shall not participate in the votes or consents of
the Limited Partners hereunder. No consideration shall be paid to such Retired
General Partner by the remaining General Partners or the Partnership in the
event of a Transfer pursuant to this Section 10.4C.

Partner who withdraws voluntarily in violation of Section 10.1 or who is removed
by Special Limited Partner as provided in this Agreement shall remain liable for
all of such General Partner's obligations under this Agreement, for all of such
General Partner's obligations under the Project Documents, and for all of such
General Partner's other obligations and liabilities hereunder incurred or
accrued prior to the date of such General Partner's withdrawal and for any loss
or damage which the Partnership or any of the Partners may incur as a result of
such withdrawal, except for any loss or damage attributable to the activities of
the remaining and/or successor General Partners subsequent to such withdrawal.

include the heirs, distributees, estate, executors, administrators, guardian,
committee, trustee or other personal representative) of a General Partner who is
a natural person as to whom a Terminating Event has occurred shall be and remain
liable for all such General Partner's liabilities and obligations hereunder,
except as provided in this Section 10.4F. In the event of the death, insanity
or incompetency of a General Partner who is a natural person, such General
Partner's estate shall remain liable for all such General Partner's 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 such General
Partner, but such General Partner's 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 such General Partner's death, insanity or
incompetency unless such General Partner's estate elects to become a General
Partner pursuant to Section 10.3A.

amendment of this Agreement necessary or appropriate to give effect to any such
transaction.
