Partners; Capital
4.1 Capital and Capital Accounts
(a) The Capital Contribution of each Partner shall be as set
forth on Schedule A. No interest shall be paid on any Capital
Contribution. No Partner shall have the right to withdraw its Capital
Contribution or to demand and receive property of the Partnership in
return for its Capital Contribution, except as may be specifically
provided in this Agreement or required by law.
(b) An individual Capital Account shall be established and
maintained on behalf of each Partner, including any additional or
substituted Partner who shall hereafter receive an interest in the
Partnership. In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b),
the Capital Account of each Partner shall consist of (i) the amount of
cash such Partner has contributed to the Partnership plus (ii) the fair
market value of any property such Partner has contributed to the
Partnership net of any liabilities assumed by the Partnership or to
which such property is subject plus (iii) the amount of profits or
income (including tax-exempt income) allocated to such Partner less (iv)
the amount of losses and deductions allocated to such Partner less (v)
the amount of all cash distributed to such Partner less (vi) the fair
market value of any property distributed to such Partner net of any
liabilities assumed by such Partner or to which such property is subject
less (vii) such Partner's share of any other expenditures which are not
deductible by the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes or which
are not allowable as additions to the basis of Partnership property and
shall be (viii) subject to such other adjustments as may be required
under the Code. The Capital Account of a Partner shall not be affected
by any adjustments to basis made pursuant to Section 743 of the Code but
shall be adjusted with respect to adjustments to basis made pursuant to
Section 734 of the Code.
The original Capital Account established for any Substituted
Partner (as hereinafter defined) shall be in the same amount as, and
shall replace, the Capital Account of the Partner which such Substituted
Partner succeeds, and, for the purposes of this
Agreement, such Substituted Partner shall be deemed to have made the
Capital Contribution, to the extent actually paid in, of the Partner
which such Substituted Partner succeeds. The term "Substituted Part ner"
as used in this paragraph, shall mean a Person who shall become entitled
to receive a share of the allocations and distributions of the
Partnership by reason of such Person succeeding to all or any part of
the Interest of a Partner by assignment of all or any part of a
Partner's Interest. To the extent a Substituted Partner receives less
than 100% of the Interest of a Partner he succeeds, the original Capital
Account of such transferee Substituted Partner and his Capital
Contribution shall be in proportion to the portion of the transferor
Partner's Interest prior to the transfer which the transferee receives,
and the Capital Account of the transferor Partner who retains a portion
of his former Interest and his Capital Contribution shall continue, and
not be replaced, in proportion to the portion of the transferor
Partner's Interest prior to the transfer which the transferor Partner
retains. Nothing in this Section 4.1(b) shall affect the limitations on
transfer-ability of Interests set forth in Article VII or Article VIII.
4.2 General Partner
The name, address and Capital Contribution of each General Partner
are as set forth on Schedule A.
4.3 Investment Limited Partner, Special Limited Partner and
Original Limited Partner
The Original Limited Partner hereby withdraws as a limited partner
of the Partnership and acknowledges that it no longer has any Interest
in, or rights or claims against, the Partnership as a Limited Partner as
of the Admission Date. The Investment Limited Partner and the Special
Limited Partner are hereby admitted to the Partnership as the sole
Limited Partners in substitution for the Original Limited Partner as of
the Admission Date and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of
the Project Documents and this Agreement. The names and addresses of the
Investment Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner are as set
forth on Schedule A. The General Partners shall have no authority to
admit additional Limited Partners without the Consent of the Investment
Limited Partner.
4.4 Liability of the Limited Partners
None of the Investment Limited Partner, the Special Limited
Partner and any Person who becomes an Additional Limited Partner shall
be liable for any debts, liabilities, contracts or obligations of the
Partnership and shall only be liable to pay their respective Capital
Contributions as and when the same are due hereunder and under the
Uniform Act.
4.5 Special Rights of the Investment Limited Partner
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, to the extent
the law of the State is not inconsistent, each of the Investment Limited
Partner and the Special Limited Partner shall have the right, subject to
the prior written consent of RECD (if such consent is required) to:
(i) amend this Agreement in any particular;
(ii) dissolve the Partnership;
(iii) remove any General Partner and elect a new General
Partner (A) on the basis of the performance and discharge of such
General Partner's obligations constituting fraud, bad faith,
negligence, misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty, or (B) upon
the occurrence of any of the following: (1) such General Partner
shall have violated any provisions of any Project Document or
other document required in connection with any Mortgage, or any
provisions of the RECD regulations applicable to the Apartment
Complex; (2) such General Partner shall have violated any
provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any
obligation to fund any Partnership expense under Section 6.10, or
such General Partner shall have violated any provision of
applicable law; (3) any Mortgage shall have gone into default; or
(4) such General Partner shall have conducted its own affairs or
the affairs of the Partnership in such a manner as would (a) cause
the termination of the Partnership for Federal income tax
purposes; or (b) cause the Partnership to be treated for Federal
income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation;
(iv) continue the business of the Partnership with a
substitute General Partner; and
(v) approve or disapprove the sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Partnership.
(b) Upon the removal of a General Partner, (i) without any
further action by any Partner, the Special Limited Partner or its
designee shall automatically become a General Partner and acquire in
consideration of a cash payment of $100 such portion of the Interest of
the removed General Partner as counsel to the Investment Limited Partner
shall determine is the minimum appropriate interest in order to assure
the continued status of the Partnership as a partnership under the Code
and under the Uniform Act, (ii) the remaining portion of the economic
Interest of the removed General Partner shall automatically be converted
to an equal economic Interest as an Additional Limited Partner, (iii)
the economic Interest of the Special Limited Partner as the Special
Limited Partner shall continue unaffected by the new status of the
Special Limited Partner or its designee as a General Partner, and (iv)
the new General Partners pursuant to Section 6.13. The Special Limited
Partner or any successor General partner proposed by the Special Limited
Partner shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to
acquire the Additional Limited Partner. Interest, or any portion
thereof, of any removed General Partner upon payment of the agreed or
then present fair market value of such Interest or portion thereof. Any
dispute as to the value of the Interest or portion thereof to be
acquired pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be
submitted to a committee composed of three qualified real estate
appraisers, one chosen by the removed General Partner, one chosen by the
successor General Partner, and the third chosen by the two so chosen.
The proceedings of such committee shall conform to the rules of the
American Arbitration Association, as far as appropriate, and its
decision shall be final and binding. The expense of arbitration shall be
born equally by the removed General Partner and the Partnership. The
method of payment to the removed General Partner shall be fair and must
protect the solvency and liquidity of the Partnership. The method of
payment will be deemed presumptively fair where it provides for an
interest-bearing promissory note coming due in no less than five (5)
years with equal installments each year. In addition, upon removal, the
Partnership must promptly pay to the removed General Partner all amounts
then accrued and owing to the removed General Partner; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the language of Section 6.12, Article X,
Article XI and any other provision hereof, no removed General Partner or
any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to receive any fee, compensation
or other remuneration from the Partnership, other than (i) the above-
described payment for the Interest, or portion thereof, of the removed
General Partner, and (ii) any such fee, compensation or other
remuneration which had already been earned in full prior the date of
such removal. The Partnership is not authorized to enter into any
arrangement whereby any fee, compensation or other remuneration could be
payable directly or indirectly to any General Partner or Affiliate
thereof in a manner inconsistent with the immediately preceding sentence
unless the prior written consent of the Special Limited Partner shall
have been obtained to such particular agreement. The Partnership may
offset against any payments to a General Partner removed under this
Section 4.5 any damages suffered by the Partnership as a result of any
breach of the obligations of such General Partner hereunder. A General
Partner so removed will not be liable as a General Partner for any
obligations of the Partnership incurred after the effective date of its
removal. Each General Partner hereby grants to the Special Limited
Partner an irrevocable (to the extent permitted by applicable law) power
of attorney coupled with an interest to execute and deliver any and all
documents and instruments on behalf of such General Partner and the
Partnership as the Special Limited Partner may deem to be necessary or
appropriate in order to effect the provisions of this Section 4.5 and to
enable the new General Partner to manage the business of the
Partnership.
(c) In order to implement Section 4.5(a)(v), the General
Partners are hereby required, within five (5) days after their receipt
of any offer to purchase the Apartment Complex or all of the Interests
in the Partnership, to send a copy of such offer (or a written
description of any such oral offer) to each of the Limited Partners.
If, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of any such copy of such an
offer, the Special Limited Partner shall send notice to the General
Partners that the Special Limited Partner desires that the Partnership
accept such offer, and the General Partners agree that the Partnership
should accept such offer, then the General Partners shall be required to
accept such offer on behalf of the Partnership and proceed with all
deliberate speed to close such transaction unless otherwise instructed
by the Special Limited Partner at any point prior to the closing of such
transaction. To the extent, if any, that the Special Limited Partner
shall determine, in its discretion, that the General Partners are not
proceeding appropriately with respect to any such offer or closing, each
Partner hereby grants to the Special Limited Partner an irrevocable (to
the extent permitted by law) power of attorney coupled with an interest
to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments on behalf
of the Partnership and any Partner as the Special Limited Partner may
deem to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the acceptance of
and/or closing pursuant to any such offer in such a manner as the
Special Limited Partner shall, in its discretion, determine to be
appropriate. Nothing in this paragraph, however, shall be construed to
require the General Partners either to accept any offer to sell the
Apartment Complex or to accept any offer to sell all of the Interests in
the Partnership.
4.6 Meetings
The General Partner or Limited Partners holding more than ten
percent (10%) of the then outstanding Limited Partner Interests may call
meetings of the Partnership for any matters for which the Limited
Partners may vote as set forth in this Agreement. A list of the names
and addresses of all Limited Partners shall be maintained as part of the
books and records of the Partnership and shall be made available upon
request to any Limited Partner or his representative at his cost. Upon
receipt of a written request either in person or by certified mail
stating the purpose(s) of the meeting, the General Partners shall
provide all Limited Partners within ten (10) days after receipt of said
request, written notice (either in person or by certified mail) of a
meeting and the purpose of such meeting to be held on a date not less
then fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days after receipt of said
request, at a time convenient to the Limited Partners. All meetings
shall be held at the principal office of the Partnership.

and the Special Limited Partner

(a) The Special Limited Partner's Capital Contribution of $10
shall be paid in full in cash on the Admission Date. The Investment
Limited Partner's Capital Contribution shall be paid in cash
installments (the "Installments"), as follows:
(1) $64,793 (the "First Installment") on the latest to
occur of (i) Tax Credit Set-Aside, (ii) Construction Mortgage
Closing, (iii) Permanent Mortgage Commitment, or (iv) Admission
Date;
(2) $32,397 (the "Second Installment") on the latest to
occur of (i) State Designation, (ii) Completion Date, (iii) Cost
Certification or (iv) satisfaction of all conditions to payment of
the First Installment;
(3) $25,917 (the "Third Installment") on the latest to
occur of (i) the Initial 100% Occupancy Date, (ii) Permanent
Mortgage Commencement, or (iii) satisfaction of all conditions to
payment of the Second Installment; and
(4) $6,479 (the "Fourth Installment") on the latest to
occur of (i) receipt of a tax return for the year in which
Breakeven occurred and (ii) satisfaction of all conditions to
payment of the Third Installment;
provided, however, that the General Partners shall give the Investment
Limited Partner not less than twenty-one (21) days' written notice prior
to the due date of each Installment subsequent to the First Installment.
(b) The obligation of the Investment Limited Partner to pay each
Installment is conditioned upon delivery by the General Partners to the
Investment Limited Partner of a written certificate (the "Payment
Certificate") stating that as of the date of such certificate (i) all
the conditions to the payment of such Installment have been satisfied
and (ii) all representations and warranties of the General Partners
contained in this Agreement are true and correct. Except as provided in
the final sentence of this Section 5.1(b), acceptance by the Partnership
of any Installment shall constitute a confirmation that, as of the date
of payment, all such conditions are satisfied and all such
representations and warranties are true and correct. The obligation of
the Investment Limited Partner to pay the First Installment is also con-
ditioned upon delivery by the General Partners to the Investment Limited
Partner of both (i) a legal opinion of independent counsel to the
Partnership, which opinion must be satisfactory to the Investment
Limited Partner as to form, content and identity of counsel and (ii) a
photocopy of an owner's title insurance policy, or an endorsement
thereto, issued to the Partnership with respect to the Apartment Complex
with an effective date on or after the Admission Date, in an insured
amount not less than $846,769 from a title insurance company reasonably
satisfactory to the Investment Limited Partner containing, inter alia ,
"Fairways", "Non Imputation", "Date Down" and "Zoning" endorsements and
evidencing the Partnership's ownership of the Apartment Complex subject
only to such exclusions, exceptions, conditions and stipulations as
shall be acceptable to the Investment Limited Partner, in its sole
discretion. In no event shall any Installment become due until all of
the conditions for all of the Installments listed prior to the
Installment in question in Section 5.1(a) shall have been satisfied and
all of such prior Installments shall have become due. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, if at any time prior to the date when an
Installment becomes due and payable, the Partnership has an "Operating
Deficit" (expenses in excess of revenues which the General Partners
would be required to fund pursuant to Section 6.10), then the Investment
Limited Partner may, at its option, waive the requirement of the
delivery of the Payment Certificate or any other condition with respect
to part or all of such Installment and pay such part or all of such
Installment, provided that the proceeds of the amount so paid are used
by the Partnership to fully fund such Operating Deficit; provided,
however, that if the proceeds of such amount so paid are designated in
Section 6.12 or Section 10.2(c)to be used to pay fee(s) or special
distribution(s), then such proceeds shall be utilized to pay such fee(s)
or special distribution(s) and the recipient(s) thereof shall be re-
quired to, and hereby agree to, utilize the proceeds of such fee(s) or
special distribution(s) to fund such Operating Deficit, in which case
the Investment Limited Partner is hereby authorized to directly fund
such Operating Deficit with the funds so applied being deemed to have
been paid as aforesaid.
(c) The Payment Certificate for each Installment shall be dated
and delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days
prior to the due date for such Installment.
(d) If, as of the date when an Installment would otherwise be
due, any statement required to be made in the Payment Certificate for
such Installment cannot be truthfully made, the General Partners shall
notify the Investment Limited Partner of the reason why such statement
would be untrue if made, and the Investment Limited Partner shall not be
required to pay such Installment; provided, however, that if (i) any
such statement can subsequently be truthfully made and (ii) the
Investment Limited Partner shall not have irrevocably lost, in the good
faith judgment of the Investment General Partner, any material tax or
other benefits hereunder, then the Investment Limited Partner shall pay
such Installment to the Partnership thirty (30) days after delivery by
the General Partners to the Investment Limited Partner of the Payment
Certificate together with an explanation of the manner in which each
such statement had become true.
(e) If with respect to any year all or a portion of which occurs
during the 60-month period commencing on the later of (i) the Admission
Date or (ii) the date on which the first building in the Apartment
Complex is placed in service for the purposes of Section 42 of the Code
(a "Reduction Year") the Actual Credit is or was less than the Projected
Credit, then the General Partners shall pay to the Investment Limited
Partner the Reduction Amount. The Reduction Amount shall be equal to the
sum of (A) the excess of the Projected Credit for such year over the
Actual Credit for such year multiplied by .7459 plus (B) the amount of
any recapture, interest or penalty payable by the limited partners
and/or the holders of beneficial assignee certificates of the Investment
Limited Partner as a result of such shortfall, assuming that each
limited partner and/or each holder of a beneficial assignee certificate
in the Investment Limited Partner used all of the Tax Credits allocated
to him in the year of allocation and that such Person was subject to
interest at the rate set forth in Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code and to
the penalty for understatement of tax set forth in Section 6662(d) of
the Code. The Auditors shall make their determination of the amount of
the Actual Credit with respect to each Reduction Year within thirty (30)
days following the end of such year. The Investment Limited Partner
shall be eligible to be paid a Reduction Amount as hereinabove described
with respect to each Reduction Year. Any Reduction Amount shall, at the
option of the Investment Limited Partner, either (i) first be applied to
the Installment next due to be paid by the Investment Limited Partner,
with any portion of such Reduction Amount in excess of the amount of
such Installment then being applied to succeeding Installments,
provided, that if no further Installments remain to be paid or if the
Reduction Amount shall exceed the sum of the amounts of the remaining
Installments, then the entire Reduction Amount or the balance of the
Reduction Amount, as the case may be, shall be paid by the General
Partners to the Investment Limited Partner promptly after demand is made
therefor, as a payment of damages for breach of warranty, regardless of
the reason for the occurrence of such event or (ii) be paid in its
entirety by the General Partners to the Investment Limited Partner
promptly after demand is made therefor, as a payment of damages for
breach of warranty, regardless of the reason for the occurrence of such
event.
(f) In the event that, for any reason, at any time after the end
of the sixty (60)-month period defined in (e) above, the amount of the
Actual Credit shall be less than the Projected Credit with respect to
any fiscal year of the Partnership (such difference being hereinafter
referred to as a "Credit Shortfall"), the Investment Limited Partner
shall be treated as having made a constructive advance to the
Partnership with respect to such year (a "Credit Recovery Loan"), which
shall be deemed to have been made on January 1 of such year in an amount
equal to the sum of (i) the Credit Shortfall for such year plus (ii) the
amount of any recapture, interest or penalty payable by the limited
partners and/or the holders of beneficial assignee certificates of the
Investment Limited Partner as a result of the Credit Shortfall for such
year, assuming that each limited partner and/or holder of a beneficial
assignee certificate in the Investment Limited Partner used all of the
Tax Credits allocated to him in the year of allocation and that each
such Person was subject to interest at the rate set forth in Section
6621(a)(s) of the Code and to the penalty for understatement of tax set
forth in Section 6662(d) of the Code. Credit Recovery Loans shall be
deemed to bear simple (not compounded) interest from the respective
dates on which such principal advances shall have been deemed to have
been made under this Section 5.1(f) at 9% per annum. Credit Recovery
Loans shall be payable by the Partnership as provided in Section
10.2(b), Clause Fourth.
(g) If, as of the Completion Date and based upon the Cost
Certification, it is determined that the apartment Complex will be
eligible to receive Tax Credits in an annual amount of less than
$25,782, or as of the Completion Date in the product of the Apartment
Complex's Eligible Basis and its Applicable Percentage is determined by
the Auditors or the Service to be such that the Apartment Complex will
not be eligible to receive Tax Credits in an annual dollar amount of at
least $25,782, then there shall be a reduction in the Investment Limited
Partner's Capital Contribution in an amount equal to the product of (A)
difference between (i) $25,782 and (ii) the total annual amount of Tax
Credit allocated and available to the Partnership and (B) 7.459.
5.2 Return of Capital Contributions
(a) Failure to Achieve Development and/or Tax Credit Benchmarks
and Standards. If (i) State Designation shall not have occurred by
April 1, 1997 (or any later date fixed by the General Partner with the
Consent of the Investment Limited Partner); or (ii) the Partnership
shall fail to meet the Minimum Set-Aside Test or the Rent Restriction
Test within one year of the Completion Date and/or fails to continue to
meet either of those Tests at any time during the sixty (60)-month
period commencing on such date or (iii) if by Admission (or any later
date fixed by the General Partners with the Consent of the Investment
Limited Partner), the Investment Limited Partner shall not have
received, in form and substance satisfactory to the Investment Limited
Partner, the certification of the Auditors that as of a date no later
than December 31, 1995, the Partnership had incurred capitalizable costs
with respect to the Apartment Complex of at least ten percent (10%) of
the Partnership's reasonably expected basis in the Apartment Complex as
of December 31, 1997, so that each building in the Apartment Complex is
a "qualified building" for the purposes of Section 42 (h)(1)(E)(ii) of
the Code, or (iv) if at any time it shall be determined by the Service
or by the Tax Accountants that as of December 31, 1995 the Partnership
had not incurred capitalizable costs with respect to the Apartment
Complex of at least ten percent (10%) of the Partnership's reasonably
expected basis in the Apartment Complex as of December 31, 1997, or (v)
if by March 1, 1997 (or any later date fixed by the General Partners
with the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner) Cost Certification
shall not have occurred, or (vi) if by Admission (or any later date
fixed by the General Partners with the Consent of the Investment Limited
Partner) the Partnership shall not have received from the duly
authorized agency of the State a "carryover allocation" of Tax Credit
pursuant to Section 42(h)(1)(E) of the Code in an annual dollar amount
of not less than $25,782, or (vii) Breakeven has not been achieved
within 12 months of the Completion Date or; (viii) foreclosure
proceedings are commenced under the Construction Mortgage which are not
dismissed within 60 days, then the General Partners shall, within five
(5) days of the occurrence thereof, send to the Investment Limited
Partner and the Special Limited Partner notice of such event and of the
General Partners' obligation to repurchase the Interests of the
Investment Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner by paying to
the Investment Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner an amount
(the "Repurchase Amount") equal to each such Partner's Invested Amount
minus the amount, if any, of such Partner's Capital Contribution which
shall not yet have been paid (or deemed to have been paid) to the
Partnership plus the amount of any third party costs, including, but not
limited to, attorney's fees incurred by or on behalf of such Partner in
implementing this Section 5.2(a) in the event the Investment Limited
Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner require such a repurchase.
If either the Special Limited Partner or the Investment Limited Partner
elects to require a repurchase of its Interest and the payment to it of
an amount equal to its Repurchase Amount, it shall send notice thereof
to the Partnership within thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the
General Partners' notice, or at any time after the occurrence of any of
the foregoing if the General Partners shall not have sent such a notice
thereof, and the General Partners shall within ten (10) days after the
Partnership receives any such notice from a Partner requiring the
purchase of its Interest repurchase the Interest of such Partner and the
Special Limited Partner by paying to each such Partner an amount equal
to its Repurchase Amount.
(b) Lender Disapproval. If the Construction Lender and/or RECD
shall disapprove, or fail to give any required approval of, the
Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner as a
Limited Partner hereunder within one hundred eighty (180) days of the
Admission Date, then the Partner being disapproved or not approved
shall, effective as of such time or such later time as may be selected
by the Partner being disapproved or not approved (or such other time as
may be specified by the Construction Lender and/or RECD in its
disapproval), at the option of the Partner being disapproved or not
approved (if not directed by the Construction Lender and/or RECD to
withdraw), cease to be a Limited Partner. The General Partners shall,
within ten (10) days of the effective date of such cessation, pay to the
Partner being disapproved or not approved an amount equal to its
Invested Amount minus the amount, if any, of such Partner's Capital
Contribution which shall not yet have been paid (or deemed to have been
paid) to the Partnership plus the amount of any third party costs,
including, but not limited to attorney's fees, incurred by or on behalf
of such Partner in implementing this Section 5.2(b).
(c) Substitution and Indemnification. Upon receipt by the
Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner of the
amount due to it pursuant to either Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b),
the Interest of such Partner shall terminate, and the General Partners
shall indemnify and hold harmless such Partner from any losses, damages,
and liabilities to which such Partner (as a result of its participation
hereunder) may be subject.
(d) Waiver of Repurchase Right. The Investment Limited Partner
shall have the right to irrevocably waive its right to have its Interest
repurchased pursuant to any clause or clauses of Section 5.2(a), or any
portion thereof, at any time during which any of such rights shall be in
effect. Such a waiver shall be exercised by delivery to the General
Partners of a written notice stating that the rights being waived
pursuant to any specified clause or clauses of Section 5.2(a), or any
specified portion thereof, are thereby waived from that date forward.
(e) Additional General Partner. If the General Partners shall
fail to make on the due date therefor any payment required under Section
5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b), time being of the essence, at any time
thereafter the Special Limited Partner shall have the option,
exercisable in its sole discretion, to cause itself or its designee to
be admitted as an additional General Partner, receiving from the pre-
existing General Partners, proportionally out of their Interests, in
consideration of $10, a one percent (1%) interest in the profits,
losses, tax credits and distributions of the Partnership, with the
Special Limited Partner retaining its status as such and its economic
interest in the Partnership as the Special Limited Partner not being
effected thereby. Upon any such admission of the Special Limited
Partner or its designee as an additional General Partner, each of the
General Partners hereby agrees that all of its rights and powers
hereunder as a General Partner shall automatically be irrevocably
delegated to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 6.13
without the necessity of any further action by any Partner. Each
Partner hereby grants to the Special Limited Partner an irrevocable (to
the extent permitted by applicable law) power of attorney coupled with
an interest to take any action and to execute, deliver and file or
record any and all documents and instruments on behalf of such Partner
and the Partnership as the Special Limited partner may deem necessary or
appropriate in order to effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.2(e)
and to allow the additional General Partner to manage the business of
the Partnership. The admission of the Special Limited Partner or its
designee as an additional General Partner shall not relieve any other
General Partner of any of its economic obligations hereunder, and each
other General Partner shall fully indemnify and hold harmless the
additional General Partner against any and all losses, judgments,
liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims
sustained in connection with its capacity as a General Partner.

of Article VII notwith-standing. Each Partner hereby grants to the
Special Limited Partner a special power of attorney, irrevocable to the
extent permitted by law and coupled with an interest, to amend the

provided in connection with the Partnership or the Apartment Complex,
except as may be specifically provided in Section 6.12 and Article XI or

shall have been obtained to the precise terms thereof prior to the
commencement of such services or the provision of such goods. Any
Partner may engage independently or with others in other business
ventures of every nature and description including the ownership,

rights in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits

shall have the exclusive right to control the business of the
Partnership. The Investment Limited Partner shall have no right to take
part in the management or control of the business of the Partnership or
to transact any business in the name of the Partnership. No provision
of this Agreement which makes the Consent of the Investment Limited
Partner a condition for the effectiveness of an action taken by the
General Partners is intended, and no such provision shall be construed,
to give the Investment Limited Partner any participation in the control
of the Partnership business. Each of the Special Limited Partner and
the Investment Limited Partner hereby consents to the exercise by the
General Partners of the powers conferred on them by law and this
Agreement, and the General Partners agree to exercise control of the
business of the Partnership only in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the
provisions of this Section 6.4 be invoked by any General Partner or by
any other Person as an impediment to the ability of either the
Investment Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner to take any
action hereunder. All Partners hereby agree that Levy ▇. ▇▇▇▇ shall
serve as the "Tax Matters Partner." In the case of litigation, the Tax
Matters Partner is required to file suit in the United States Tax Court
unless the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner is obtained to file
suit in the United States Claims Court or the United States District
Court. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership
from engaging the Auditors to assist the Tax Matters Partner in
discharging its duties hereunder.
6.5 Duties and Obligations
(a) The General Partners shall manage the affairs of the
Partnership to the best of their ability, shall use their best efforts
to carry out the purpose of the Partnership, and shall devote to the
Partnership such time as may be necessary for the proper performance of
their duties and the business of the Partnership. The General Partners
shall promptly take all action which may be necessary or appropriate for
the proper development, maintenance and operation of the Apartment
Complex in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Project
Documents and applicable laws and regulations including, without
limitation, funding the Construction and Development Fee to the extent
Capital Contributions are insufficient. The General Partners are
responsible for the management and operation of the Partnership,
including the oversight of the rent-up and operational stages of the
Apartment Complex.
(b) The General Partners shall use their best efforts to cause the
Partnership to generate Cash Flow for distribution to the Partners at
the maximum realizable level in view of (i) any applicable RECD and
other regulations, (ii) the Minimum Set-Aside Test and (iii) the Rent
Restriction Test, and, if necessary, the General Partners shall also use
their best efforts to obtain
approvals and implementation of appropriate adjustments in the rental
schedule of the Apartment Complex.
(c) The General Partners shall cause the Partnership to obtain and
keep in force, during the term of the Partnership, comprehensive
casualty insurance, including, but not limited to, fire and other risks
generally included under "extended coverage" policies, workmen's
compensation and public liability insurance in favor of the Partnership
(i) with such companies and in such amounts as shall be satisfactory to
RECD, or, if the Apartment Complex is no longer subject to RECD
regulation or requirements, as shall be customary for apartment
complexes similar to the Apartment Complex and (ii) in amounts which
shall be (A) no less than those amounts which are customary in the area
for apartment complexes similar to the Apartment Complex, (B) no less
than such amounts as may be reasonably requested by the Investment
Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner from time to time,
and (C) in any event, sufficient to prevent the Partnership from
becoming a co-insurer under any such policies. No deductibles on such
policies may exceed $1,000. The public liability insurance in favor of
the Partnership shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000. Through
the Completion Date, or such later date as may be required by the
Construction Lender or RECD, the General Partners shall also cause the
Partnership to obtain and keep in force a builder's risk policy in favor
of the Partnership in an amount not less than the greater of (i) the
full replacement value of the Apartment Complex (excluding the value of
the underlying land, the site utilities and the foundations) or (ii)
such other amount as shall be required by RECD or the Construction
Lender. Throughout the term of the Partnership, the General Partners
shall provide copies of all such policies (or binders) to the Investment
Limited Partner promptly after their receipt thereof. Upon the request
of the Investment Limited Partner to the General Partners, the General
Partners shall cause the applicable insurer to name the Investment
Limited Partner as an "additional insured" on each Partnership insurance
policy.
(d) The obligations of the General Partners hereunder shall be the
joint and several obligations of each General Partner. Except as
otherwise provided in Sections 4.5(b) and 7.1, such obligations shall
survive any Withdrawal of a General Partner from the Partnership.
(e) The General Partners shall establish and maintain reasonable
reserves to provide for working capital needs, improvements,
replacements and any other contingencies of the Partnership. At a
minimum, the General Partners shall cause the Partnership to annually
deposit $6,842 from its Cash Flow into replacement reserves; to the
extent that Cash Flow (as determined before deduction of this reserve
deposit) for any year shall be insufficient to make such deposit in
full, the General Partners shall fund such shortfall from their own
funds as a Subordinated Loan. Funding of replacement reserves may be
suspended during any period when this account has a balance of not less
than $68,420.
(f) Each General Partner shall be bound by the Project Documents,
and no additional General Partner shall be admitted if he, she or it has
not first agreed to be bound by this Agreement (and assume the
obligations of a General Partner hereunder) and by the Project Documents
to the same extent and under the same terms as the other General
Partners.
(g) The General Partners shall take all actions necessary to
ensure that the Investment Limited Partner receives the full amount of
the Projected Credit, including, without limitation, the rental of
apartments to appropriate tenants and the filing of annual
certifications as may be required. In this regard, the General Partners
shall, inter alia, cause (i) the Partnership to satisfy all requirements
imposed from time to time under the Code with respect to rental levels
and occupancy by qualified tenants by the close of the first year of the

Partnership to be entitled to the Tax Credit throughout the Compliance
Period so as to permit the Partnership to be entitled to the maximum
available Tax Credit throughout the Compliance Period specified in the
Code, (ii) the Partnership to comply with all State Tax Credit
monitoring procedures, (iii) all dwelling units in the Apartment Complex
to be leased for periods of not less than six months to persons
satisfying the Rent Restriction Test, (iv) the Partnership to make all
appropriate Tax Credit elections in a timely fashion, and (v) all rental

budget analysis on Form 2264, or any successor RECD or HUD form, any
comparable form of a state or other governmental agency, including any
applicable Tax Credit allocation agency, setting forth estimates with
respect to construction and mortgage financing costs and initial rental
income and operating expense figures for the Apartment Complex.
(i) The General Partners shall (i) not store (except in compliance
with all laws, ordinances, and regulations pertaining thereto) or

any other Site or Vessel owned, occupied, or operated either by any
General Partner, any Affiliate of a General Partner, or any Person for
whose conduct any General Partner is or was responsible; (ii) neither
directly nor indirectly transport or arrange for the transport of any
Hazardous Material (except in compliance with all laws, ordinances, and
regulations pertaining thereto); (iii) provide the Investment Limited
Partner with written notice (x) upon any General Partner's obtaining

any Hazardous Material at or from the Apartment Complex or any other

Affiliate of a General Partner or any Person for whose conduct any
General Partner is or was responsible or whose liability may result in a
lien on the Apartment Complex; (y) upon any General Partner's receipt of
any notice to such effect from any Federal, state, or other governmental
authority; and (z) upon any General Partner's obtaining knowledge of any
incurrence of any expense or loss by any such 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 Apartment
Complex.
(j) The General Partners shall promptly request in writing of RECD
that RECD cause the Investment Limited Partner to be named as an
"interested party" in the Permanent Mortgage documents, so that RECD
will notify the Investment Limited Partner of any default or other
problem under the Permanent Mortgage.

(d) The Partnership shall not incur the cost of the portion of any
insurance, other than public liability insurance, which
insures any party against any liability as to which such party is herein
prohibited from being indemnified.
(e) The Partnership may indemnify Affiliates of the General
Partner under this Section 6.8 only if the loss involves activity in
which such Affiliates acted in the capacity of a General Partner.
(f) For purposes of this Section 6.8 only, the term "Affiliate"
shall mean any Person performing services on behalf of the Partnership
who (i) directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under
common control with a General Partner; (ii) owns or controls ten percent
(10%) or more of the outstanding voting securities of a General Partner;
(iii) is an officer, director, partner or trustee of a General Partner;
or (iv) if a General Partner is an officer, director, partner or
trustee, is any company for which such General Partner acts in any such
capacity.
6.9 Indemnification of the Partnership and the Limited Partners
(a) The General Partners will indemnify and hold the Partnership
and the Limited Partners harmless from and against any and all losses,
damages and liabilities which the Partnership or
any Limited Partner may incur by reason of the (a) past, present or
future actions or omissions of the General Partner or any of their
Affiliates, or (b) any liabilities to which either the Partnership or
the Apartment Complex is subject; provided, however, that the foregoing
indemnification shall not apply to (i) any Mortgage or (ii) necessary
contractual obligations incurred pursuant to RECD requirements in
connection with the operation of the Apartment Complex in the ordinary
course of business.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no General Partner shall be
liable to a Limited Partner or the Partnership for any act or omission

under Section 6.8.
(c) The General Partners shall indemnify, defend, and hold the
Investment Limited Partner harmless from and against any claim brought
or threatened against the Investment Limited Partner or loss (as well as

Material at the Apartment Complex. Any claim or loss described in the
immediately preceding sentence may be defended, compromised, settled, or
pursued by the Investment Limited Partner with counsel of the Investment
Limited Partners' selection, but at the expense of the General Partners.
Notwithstanding anything else set forth herein, this indemnification
shall survive the withdrawal of any General Partner and/or the
termination of this Agreement.
6.10 Operating Deficits
Subject to the prior written consent of each RECD (if such consent
shall be required under applicable RECD regulations), the General
Partners shall be obligated for a period of five years from the later to
occur of (i) Permanent Mortgage Commencement or (ii) the Admission Date
to advance funds to meet operating expenses and debt service of the
Partnership which exceed operating income available for the payment
thereof. In the event that the General Partners shall fail to make any
such advance as aforesaid
the Partnership shall utilize amounts (the "Applied Fees") otherwise
payable to the General Partners or Affiliates thereof under Section 6.12
to meet the obligations of the General Partners pursuant to this Section
6.10. Such Applied Fees shall also constitute payment and satisfaction
of the corresponding amounts payable to the General Partners or
Affiliates thereof under Section 6.12 and/or Article X, with the
proceeds thereof being applied to such obligations, and the obligation
of the Partnership to make such installment payments to the General
Partners or the Affiliates thereof pursuant to Section 6.12 and/or
Article X being deemed satisfied to the extent thereof and (b) the
Special Limited Partner shall have the option, exercisable in its sole
discretion, to cause it or one or more of its designees to be admitted
to the Partnership as additional General Partners(s). An additional
General Partner so admitted shall automatically, without the need for
any further action by any Partner, become the Managing General Partner
and be delegated all of the power and authority of all of the General
Partners pursuant to Section 6.13, and each Partner hereby grants to any
such additional General Partner a power of attorney, coupled with an
interest and irrevocable to the extent permitted by law, to execute and
deliver any and all instruments and documents which it believes to be
necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the purposes of this
Section 6.10 and to manage the business of the Partnership. The
admission of an additional General Partner shall not relieve any other
General Partner of any of its economic obligations hereunder, and each
other General Partner shall fully indemnify and hold harmless each
additional General Partner from and against any and all losses,
judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any
claims sustained in connection with its capacity as a General Partner.
For the purpose of this Section 6.10, all expenses shall be paid on a
sixty (60)-day current basis. Moreover, the General Partners may in
their discretion at any time advance funds to the Partnership to pay
operating expenses and/or debt service of the Partnership in order to
facilitate the Partnership's compliance with the Rent Restriction Test.
All advances pursuant to this Section 6.10 (including any Applied Fees)
shall be Subordinated Loans repayable without interest in accordance
with the provisions of Article X. The form and provisions of all Subor-
dinated Loans shall conform to applicable rules and regulations.
6.11 Obligation to Complete the Construction of the Apartment
Complex
(a) The General Partners shall complete the construction of the
Apartment Complex substantially in accordance with the plans and
specifications approved by RECD and the Lenders and all requirements
necessary to obtain the required certificates of occupancy for dwelling
units, or cause the same to be completed, in a good and workmanlike
manner, free and clear of all mechanics', materialmen's or similar
liens, and shall equip the Apartment Complex or cause the same to be
equipped with all necessary and appropriate fixtures, equipment and
articles of personal property, including refrigerators and ranges, and
shall cause all necessary certificates of occupancy for all apartment
units in the Apartment Complex to be obtained, all in accordance with
the Project Documents. If the proceeds of the Construction and
Permanent Mortgages, the net rental income, if any, of the Apartment
Complex generated prior to the later of Permanent Mortgage Commencement
or the Admission Date and which is permitted by RECD to be utilized for
any of the purposes hereinafter set forth, the Capital Contribution of
the Investment Limited Partner, the Capital Contributions of the General
Partners in the amounts set forth on Schedule A as of the Admission
Date, and any insurance proceeds arising out of casualties prior to the
later of Permanent Mortgage Commencement or the Admission Date as
available from time to time are insufficient to (i) acquire and complete
the construction of the Apartment Complex and satisfy all other
obligations, all as provided in the first sentence of this Section
6.11(a), (ii) make the special distributions to the General Partners
described in Section 10.2(c), (iii) pay the Construction and Development
Fee, (iv) arrive at Permanent Mortgage Commencement in conformity with
the Project Documents, (v) discharge all Partnership liabilities and
obligations arising out of any casualty giving rise to any such
insurance proceeds, and (vi) provide for all other payments and expenses
required to be made or incurred through the later of Permanent Mortgage
Commencement or the Admission Date, including the funding of any
reserves required hereunder or under any other Project Document and the
repayment in full of all obligations under the Construction Mortgage,
the General Partners shall be responsible for and obligated to pay such
deficiencies and shall, to the extent permitted under the Project
Documents and any applicable regulations or requirements of RECD, be
reimbursed at or prior to the later of Permanent Mortgage Commencement
or the Admission Date only out of the proceeds designated in this
sentence available from time to time after payment of all costs
described in this sentence. Any amounts not reimbursed through the
later of Permanent Mortgage Commencement or Admission Date only out of
the proceeds of the Capital Contribution of the Investment Limited
Partner as provided in Section 5.1 shall not be reimbursable or
otherwise change the Interest of any Person in the Partnership but shall
be borne by the General Partners; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such amounts represent
items which are properly included in the Partnership's Qualified Basis
and result in an increase in the amount of Tax Credit allocated and
available to the Partnership over and above the amount of Tax Credit
required in order to achieve State Designation ("Includable Items"), the
General Partners shall make an additional Capital Contribution in the
amount of the Includable Items and the Partnership shall utilize the
proceeds of such additional Capital Contribution to pay the Includable
Items. In the event that the General Partners shall fail to fund any
such deficiency as required by this Section 6.11(a), an amount not in
excess of the next installment of the Construction and Development Fee
due to the General Partners or any of their Affiliates under Section
6.12 or any other provision hereof shall be applied by the Partnership
to meet such obligation of the General Partners, and, to the extent
there may still be a deficiency, any amounts otherwise payable as the
Annual Partnership Management Fee or distributable to the General
Partners pursuant to Article X shall be so applied. Any such
application of funds as described in the immediately preceding sentence
shall constitute a payment of the amount of the Fee or such other item
which such funds had been earmarked to pay, and the obligation of the
General Partners to advance such amount under this Section 6.11(a) shall
be satisfied to the extent of such application.
(b) The completion of the Apartment Complex shall be secured by a
completion bond in an amount at least equal to the full amount of the
construction contract for the Apartment Complex or by other security
satisfactory to the Investment Limited Partner, which other security may
include, but shall not be limited to, the following:
(i) a written guaranty of completion by a Person,
supported by financial statements demonstrating sufficient
net worth or adequately collateralized by other real or
personal properties or other Persons' guarantees; and/or
(ii) a retention of a reasonable portion of the
Capital Contribution of the Investment Limited Partner
and/or fees to the General Partner as a potential offset in
the event the General Partners do not perform in accordance
with this Agreement.
6.12 Certain Payments to the General Partners and Others
(a) The Partnership shall pay to the General Partners a non-
cumulative fee (the "Annual Partnership Management Fee") commencing in
1997 for their services in connection with the administration of the day
to day business of the Partnership in an annual amount of $750. The
Annual Partnership Management Fee for each fiscal year of the
Partnership shall be payable from Cash Flow in the manner and priority
set forth in Section 10.2(a) to the extent Cash Flow is available
therefor for such year.
(b) In consideration of their consultation, advice and other
services in connection with the construction and development of the
Apartment Complex and as consideration for the assignment described in
Section 6.14, the Partnership shall pay to the General Partners (or
their designee) a construction and development fee (the "Construction
and Development Fee") in the principal amount of $93,721, which fee
shall be earned in full as to each building in the Apartment Complex as
of the date such building is completed. The Construction and Development
Fee shall be payable $64,793 from the proceeds of the First Installment,
and $28,478 from the proceeds of the Second Installment. Any portion of
the Construction and Development Fee which shall not have been paid as
of the date which is six months after it shall have been earned shall
accrue interest at the Applicable Federal Rate in effect at the time
earned from the date earned through the date of payment; any such
interest shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of Article
X.
(c) The Partnership shall pay to BCCLP or an Affiliate thereof a
fee (the "Asset Management Fee") commencing in 1998 for its services in
connection with the Partnership's accounting matters relating to the
Investment Limited Partner and assisting with the preparation of tax
returns and the reports required by Section 12.7 in the annual amount of
$750. The Asset Management Fee shall be payable from Cash Flow in the
manner and priority set forth in Section 10.2(a); provided, however,
that if in any fiscal year commencing with 1998, Cash Flow is
insufficient to pay the full amount of the Asset Management Fee, the
unpaid portion thereof shall accrue and shall be paid from Cash Flow in
the manner and priority set forth in Section 10.2(b).
(d) As a reimbursement for costs incurred, and profits earned,
in connection with the development of the Apartment Complex, the General
Partner shall be paid the sum of $105 as developer's overhead, payable
from the proceeds of the Second Installment.
6.13 Delegation of General Partner Authority
If there shall be more than one General Partner serving hereunder,
each General Partner may from time to time, by an instrument in writing,
delegate all or any of his powers or duties hereunder to another General
Partner or General Partners.
Every contract, deed, mortgage, lease and other instrument
executed by any General Partner shall be conclusive evidence in favor of
every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that at the time of
the delivery thereof (a) the Partnership was in existence, (b) this
Agreement had not been amended in any manner so as to restrict the
delegation of authority among General Partners (except as shown in
certificates or other instruments duly filed in the Filing Office) and
(c) the execution and delivery of such instrument was duly authorized by
the General Partners. Any Person may always rely on a certificate
addressed to him and signed by any General Partner hereunder:
(1) As to who are the General Partners or Limited Partners
hereunder;
(2) As to the existence or nonexistence of any fact which
constitutes a condition precedent to acts by the General Partners
or in any other manner germane to the affairs of the Partnership;
(3) As to who is authorized to execute and deliver any
instrument or document of the Partnership;
(4) As to the authenticity of any copy of this Agreement and
amendments thereto; or
(5) As to any act or failure to act by the Partnership or as
to any other matter whatsoever involving the Partnership or any
Partner.
6.14 Assignment to Partnership
The General Partners hereby transfer and assign to the partnership
all of their right, title, and interest in and to the Apartment Complex
and in and to all of the Project Documents, including, but not limited
to, the following: (i) all contracts with architects, supervising
architects, engineers and contractors with respect to the development of
the Apartment Complex; (ii) all plans, specifications and working
drawings heretofore prepared or obtained in connection with the
Apartment Complex; (iii) all governmental commitments and approvals
obtained, and applications therefor, including, but not limited to,
those relating to planning, zoning, building permits and Tax Credit;
(iv) any and all commitments with respect to any Mortgage(s); (v) any
and all contracts or rights with respect to any agreements with the
Construction Lender or RECD; and (vi) any other work product related to
the Apartment Complex and/or the Partnership.
ARTICLE VII
Withdrawal of a General Partner; New General Partners
7.1 Withdrawal
(a) No General Partner shall Withdraw from the Partnership (other
than by reason of death or adjudication of incompetence or insanity) or
sell, assign or encumber its Interest without the Consent of the
Investment Limited Partner and all the other General Partners except
that if the Special Limited Partner or a designee thereof becomes a
General Partner pursuant to Section 4.5(b), Section 5.2(e), Section 6.2
(b) or Section 6.10, it shall not require the consent of any other
General Partner to transfer all or any portion of its interest as a
General Partner, other than as may be required under the Uniform Act.
In the event of any Withdrawal by a General Partner in violation of this
Section 7.1, such General Partner, in addition to being subject to any
and all other legal remedies which may be pursued by the Partners, shall
forfeit to the Special Limited Partner or its designee, such General
Partner's Interest and all unpaid fees from the Partnership and shall
remain liable for all of the Withdrawing Partner's obligations under
this Agreement. In addition, upon such Withdrawal and transfer, the
Special Limited Partner or its designee shall automatically become a
General Partner without further action by the Withdrawing General
Partner or any other Partner, and each Partner hereby consents to such
transfer and to the admission of the Special Limited Partner or its
designee as a General Partner in such a situation. Such transfer shall
occur automatically upon such Withdrawal without further action by such
Withdrawing General Partner.
(b) If at any time the only General Partners shall be one of more
corporations (or partnerships with corporations as sole general
partners), they shall be obligated to have a net worth which satisfies
the 89-12 Requirements. If the General Partners shall at any time fail
to meet the requirements of this Section 7.1(b) and no additional
General Partner is admitted pursuant to Section 7.5, then they shall be
deemed to have withdrawn from the Partnership in violation of the
provisions of this Section 7.1 and shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 7.1(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this
Section 7.1(b) shall not apply to the Special Limited Partner or its
designee in the event it becomes the sole General Partner.
7.2 Obligation to Continue
Upon the Withdrawal of a General Partner, the remaining General
Partners shall have the right and obligation to continue the business of
the Partnership employing its assets and name, all as contemplated by
the Uniform Act. Within 30 days after they obtain knowledge of the
Withdrawal of a General Partner, the remaining General Partners shall
notify the Investment Limited Partner or its designee of such
Withdrawal.
7.3 Withdrawal of All General Partners
If, following the Withdrawal of a General Partner, there is no
remaining General Partner, the Investment Limited Partner and the
Special Limited Partner may elect to reconstitute the Partnership and
continue the business of the Partnership for the balance of the term
specified in Section 2.4 by selecting a successor General Partner. If
the Investment Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner elect to
reconstitute the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7.3 and admit the
designated successor General Partner, the relationship among the then
Partners shall be governed by this Agreement.
7.4 Interest of General Partner After Permitted Withdrawal
In the event of the Withdrawal of a General Partner not in
violation of Section 7.1 and except as otherwise provided in Section
4.5(b), the Withdrawing General Partner hereby covenants and agrees to
transfer to the remaining General Partners or to a successor General
Partner selected in accordance with Section 7.3, as the case may be,
such portion of the Withdrawing General Partner's Interest as such
remaining or successor General Partners may designate, such transfer to
be made in consideration of the payment by the transferee of either the
agreed value of such Interest or, if such value is not agreed to, the
fair market value of such Interest as determined by a committee of three
qualified real estate appraisers, one selected by the Withdrawing
General Partner, one selected by the transferee and a third selected by
the other two. The portion of the Withdrawing General Partner's
Interest designated to be transferred in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 7.4 shall be sufficient to ensure the continued treat-
ment of the Partnership as a partnership under the Code and as a limited
part nership under the Uniform Act, and, for the purposes of Article X,
shall be deemed to be effective as of the date of Withdrawal, but the
Partnership shall not make any distributions to the designated
transferee until the transfer shall have been made. Any holder of any
portion of the Interest of a Withdrawing General Partner which is not
designated to be transferred to the remaining or successor General
Partners pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.4 shall become an
Additional Limited Partner but (i) with the same share of the profits,
losses, tax credits, Cash Flow and other distributions to which the
holder of such Interest was entitled when held as a General Partner
Interest, and (ii) shall not participate in the votes or Consents of the
Investment Limited Partner hereunder. The admission of any successor or
additional General Partner shall be subject to the consent of RECD (if
required) and the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner.
7.5 Admission of Additional General Partner(s) under Certain
Circumstances
In the event each of the General Partners is a corporation and the
General Partners at any time, or from time to time, fail to have a net
worth which satisfies the 89-12 Requirements, the Special Limited
Partner or its designee(s) shall be admitted and each hereby agrees to
be admitted, automatically and without further action by them or any
Partner, as additional General Partner(s), notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement. The General Partners hereby agree to take
all action necessary to implement this Section 7.5. Further, the
General Partners agree in such event to give prompt written notice
thereof to each Lender and to RECD. If any Lender or RECD rejects the
admission of any additional General Partner so admitted as a General
Partner, then such additional General Partner shall withdraw as a
General Partner promptly after an additional General Partner acceptable
to each Lender and RECD is admitted to the Partnership. Simultaneously
with such admission, each of the previously admitted General Partners
shall be deemed to have assigned proportionally to the additional
General Partner(s), automatically and without further action, such
portion of its General Partner Interest so that the additional General
Partner shall receive not less than a one percent (1%) interest (or such
greater percentage as may be required either (i) in the opinion of the
Tax Accountants, to assure the partnership status of the Partnership for
Federal income tax purposes or (ii) by RECD) in the profits, losses, tax
credits and distributions of the Partnership in consideration of $1.00
and any other consideration which may be agreed upon. An additional
General Partner so admitted shall automatically become the Managing
General Partner and be irrevocably delegated all of the power and
authority of all of the General Partners pursuant to Section 6.13. Each
such additional General Partner shall remain a General Partner until a
Lender or RECD shall object thereto in writing or until such time as, in
the opinion of the Tax Accountants, the Partnership would continue to be
treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes notwithstanding
their Withdrawal. At such time, each such additional General Partner
may, at its option, then Withdraw without the approval of the Limited
Partners upon reassignment of its entire Interest to the remaining
General Partners. Each partner hereby grants to the Special Limited
Partner a special power of attorney, irrevocable to the extent permitted
by law and coupled with an interest, to amend the Certificate and this
Agreement and to do anything else which, in the view of the Special
Limited Partner, may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the
purposes of this Section 7.5 or to manage the business of the
Partnership. The admission of an additional General Partner shall not
relieve any other General Partner of any of its economic obligations
hereunder, and each other General Partner shall fully indemnify and hold
harmless the additional General Partner from and against any and all
losses, judgments liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement
of any claims sustained in connection with its capacity as a General
Partner.
ARTICLE VIII
Transferability of Limited Partner Interests
8.1 Assignments
(a) Except by operation of law (including the laws of descent and
distribution) or Section 8.1(b), no Limited Partner may assign all or
any part of its Interest without the written consent of the General
Partners, the giving or withholding of which is exclusively within their
discretion.
(b) A Limited Partner, without the consent of the General
Partners, may assign to any Person all or any portion of the economic
benefits of the ownership of its Interest; provided, however, that such
assignment shall not be binding on the Partnership until there shall
have been filed with the Partnership by registered mail certified copies
of an executed and acknowledged assignment and the written acceptance by
the assignee of all the terms and provisions of this Agreement; if such
assignment and acceptance are not so filed, the Partnership need not
recognize such assignment for any purpose. An assignee of a Limited
Partner who does not become a Substituted Limited Partner shall have,
and shall only have, the right to receive the share of allocations and
distributions of the Partnership to which the assigning Limited Partner
would have been entitled with respect to the Interest (or portion
thereof) so assigned if no such assignment had been made by such Limited
Partner. Any assigning Limited Partner whose permitted assignee becomes
a Substituted Limited Partner shall thereupon cease to be a Limited
Partner and shall no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a
Limited Partner. Where the assignee does not become a Substituted
Limited Partner, the Partnership shall recognize such assignment not
later than the last day of the calendar month following receipt of
notice of assignment and all documentation required in connection
therewith.
(c) Every assignee of a Limited Partner Interest (or any portion
thereof) who desires to make a further assignment of its Interest shall
be subject to all the provisions of this Article VIII.
8.2 Substituted Limited Partner
No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute an assignee
as Limited Partner in its place. Subject to Section 8.3, the General
Partners may, however, in their sole discretion, permit an assignee to
become a Substituted Limited Partner. The consent of the General
Partners to an assignment of a Limited Partner Interest under Section
8.1 shall not, in and of itself, constitute permission under this
Section 8.2.
Any Substituted Limited Partner shall execute such instrument or
instruments as shall be required by the General Partners to signify the
agreement of such Substituted Limited Partner to be bound by all the
provisions of this Agreement and shall pay the Partnership's reasonable
legal fees and filing costs in connection with its substitution as a
Limited Partner.
8.3 Restrictions
(a) No Disposition may be made if such Disposition would violate
Section 13.1.
(b) In no event shall all or any part of a Limited Partner
Interest be Disposed of to a minor (other than to a descendant by reason
of death) or to an incompetent.
(c) The General Partners may, in addition to any other requirement
they may impose, require as a condition of any Disposition that the
transferor (i) assume all costs incurred by the Partnership in
connection therewith and (ii) furnish the Partnership and the other
Partners with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to counsel to the
Partnership that such Disposition complies with applicable Federal and
state securities laws.
(d) Any sale, exchange, transfer or other Disposition in
contravention of any of the provisions of this Section 8.3 shall
be void and ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by the
Partnership.
ARTICLE IX
Working Capital; Borrowings
9.1 Working Capital Loan
In order to comply with Paragraph 5(a) of the RECD Loan Agreement,
the General Partners have advanced to the Partnership, $13,626, which
amount has been deposited by the Partnership in its general operating
account (the "Working Capital Loan"). The Working Capital Loan shall
not bear interest and shall be repaid (i) to the extent permitted by
RECD, out of Partnership funds not required for other Partnership
purposes, (ii) out of any funds which RECD designates as a return to the
Partnership of such deposit to the Partnership's general operating
account or (iii) as set forth in Article X.
9.2 Borrowings
All Partnership borrowings shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the restrictions of Section
6.2, and may be made from any source, including Partners and their
Affiliates. Any Partnership borrowings from any Partner shall be
subject to the prior written consent of RECD (if required under
applicable RECD regulations or requirements). If any Partner shall lend
any monies to the Partnership, the amount of any such loan shall not be
an increase of such Partner's Capital Contribution. If any Partner
shall so lend monies, such loans shall be an obligation of the
Partnership and (except for advances required by Section 9.1 and
Subordinated Loans) shall be repayable to such Partner on the same basis
and with the same rate of interest as would be applicable to a
comparable loan to the Partnership from a third party. Funds provided
by the General Partners to the Partnership pursuant to Section 6.11(a)
shall not constitute borrowings for the purposes of this Section 9.2 or
for any other purposes.
ARTICLE X

Loans and (ii) to each other Limited Partner in an amount
equal to the amount of its respective Invested Amount,

including the amounts so credited) plus (ii) the positive

not including the amounts so credited.)
As to losses:
First, an amount of losses shall be allocated to the
Partners to the extent and in such proportions as shall be
necessary such that, after giving effect thereto, the
respective balances in all Partners' Capital Accounts shall
be in the ratio of 99% for the Investment Limited Partner
and 1% for the General Partners;
Second, an amount of losses shall be allocated to the
Partners until the balance in each Partner's Capital Account
equals the amount of such Partner's Capital Contribution
(after the allocation under Clause First above);
Third, an amount of losses shall be allocated to the
Partners to the extent of and in proportion to such
Partners' Capital Account balances (after the allocations
under Clauses First and Second above); and
Fourth, any remaining amount of losses after the
allocations under Clauses First, Second and Third above
shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with the
manner in which they bear the Economic Risk of Loss;
provided, however, that no Partner bears an Economic Risk of

the Investment Limited Partner and 1% to the General
Partners.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 10.1(a)
and 10.1(b), in no event shall any losses be allocated to the Investment
Limited Partner, the Special Limited Partner or any additional General
Partner admitted pursuant to any Section 4.5(b), Section 5.2(e), Section
6.2(b), Section 6.10 or Section 7.5, if and to the extent that such
allocation would cause, as of the end of the Partnership taxable year,
the negative balance in the Investment Limited Partner's Capital Account
to exceed such Partner's share of Partnership Minimum Gain plus such
Partner's share, if any of Partner Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain. Any
losses which are not allocated to a Partner by virtue of the application
of this Section 10.1(c) shall be allocated to the General Partners,
excluding any General Partner which shall have been admitted pursuant to
any of Section 4.5(b), Section 5.2(e), Section 6.2(b), Section 6.10 or
Section 7.5. For purposes of this Section 10.1(c), a Partner's Capital
Account shall be treated as reduced by Qualified Income Offset Items.
10.2 Cash Distributions Prior to Dissolution
(a) Cash Flow
Subject to RECD approval (if required), Cash Flow for each fiscal
year or portion thereof of the Partnership shall be applied as follows:
First, to the payment of the Asset Management Fee for such year
and for any previous year(s) as to which the Asset Management Fee shall
not yet have been paid in full;
Second, to the repayment of any Subordinated Loans;
Third, in an amount not to exceed the difference between (i) $750
and (ii) the amount of Cash Flow for such year, to the payment of the
Annual Partnership Management Fee attributable to such year; and
Fourth, the balance thereof, if any, shall be distributed
annually, within seventy-five (75) days after the end of the fiscal
year, 20% to the Investment Limited Partner and 80% to the General
Partners; provided, however, that during such time as RECD regulations
are applicable to the Apartment Complex, the total amount of Cash Flow
which may be so distributed to the Partners in respect to any fiscal
year shall not exceed such amounts as RECD regulations permit to be
distributed.
(b) Distributions of other than Cash Flow
Prior to dissolution, if the General Partners shall determine from
time to time that cash is available for distribution from a Capital
Transaction, such cash shall be applied or distributed as follows:
First, to the payment of all matured debts and liabilities of the
Partnership (including, but not limited to, all expenses of the
Partnership incident to the Capital Transaction), excluding (i) debts
and liabilities of the Partnership to Partners or their Affiliates and
(ii) all unpaid fees owing to the General Partners or their Affiliates;
and to the establishment of any reserves which the General Partners and
the Auditors shall deem reasonably necessary for contingent, unmatured
or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership;
Second, if the Permanent Mortgage is in place at the time of such
Capital Transaction of if such Capital Transaction constitutes a
refinancing of the Permanent Mortgage, to the General Partners in an
aggregate amount equal to 5% of the proceeds remaining after the payment
of the items set forth in Clause First of this Section 10.2(b);
Third, to the payment of any accrued and unpaid Asset Management
Fee;
Fourth, to the payment to the Investment Limited Partner of the
full amount (including interest) of any Credit Recovery Loans;
Fifth, to the repayment of any Subordinated Loans;
Sixth, to the repayment of any then-unpaid debts and liabilities
owed to Partners or Affiliates thereof by the Partnership for
Partnership obligations (exclusive of Credit Recovery Loans and
Subordinated Loans) to any of them, including, but not limited to,
accrued and unpaid Management Fee for the fiscal year of the Capital
Transaction, but excluding the Working Capital Loan; provided, however,
that any debts or obligations to be repaid to any Limited Partner or
Affiliate thereof pursuant to this Clause Sixth shall be repaid prior to
the repayment of any such debts or obligations to any General Partner or
Affiliate thereof;
Seventh, to the payment to each Limited Partner of an amount equal
to its Invested Amount, in each case minus any prior distributions made
to such Partner under this Clause Seventh, but never an amount less than
zero;
Eighth, to the repayment to the General Partners of their paid-in
Capital Contributions minus any prior distributions made to them under
this Clause Eighth and under Section 10.2(c), but never an amount less
than zero;
Ninth, except in the case of a refinancing, to each Partner in an
amount equal to the positive balance in his capital account; and
Tenth, any balance 49.999% to the Investment Limited Partner,
.001% to the Special Limited Partner and 50% to the General Partners.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for the purpose of
determining the amounts to be distributed under Clauses Sixth and Ninth
for a particular Capital Transaction, any distribution to the General
Partners under Clause Second for such Capital Transaction shall be
credited against and reduce any distributions which would otherwise be
made to the General Partners under Clauses Sixth and Ninth (with such
credit operating first against Clause Sixth distributions and then
against Clause Ninth distributions); and the amount not distributed to
the General Partners under Clauses Sixth and Ninth as a result thereof
shall be distributed as if it were additional proceeds of such Capital
Transaction. Any proceeds of a Capital Transaction distributed to the
General Partners under Clause Second which are not currently credited
against a distribution to the General Partners under either of Clause
Sixth or Clause Ninth from such Capital Transaction shall be applied as
additional credits against any distributions to the General Partners
under either Clauses Sixth and Ninth which may be the result of any
future Capital Transactions.
(c) Special Distributions
The Partnership shall make a special cash distribution to the
General Partners from the proceeds of the Installments totaling $35,760
payable as follows: Second Installment - $3,364; Third Installment -
$25,917; Fourth Installment - $6,479.
The special cash distributions shall be treated as distributions
in the form of return of capital pursuant to Section 731 of the Code.
10.3 Distributions Upon Dissolution
(a) Upon dissolution and termination, after payment of, or
adequate provision for, the debts and obligations of the Partnership,
the remaining assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to the
Partners in accordance with the positive balances in their Capital
Accounts after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for
the Partnership taxable year, including adjustments to Capital Accounts
pursuant to Sections 10.1(b) and 10.3(b). In the event that a General
Partner or Additional Limited Partner has a negative balance in its
Capital Account following the liquidation of the Partnership or such
Partner's Interest, after taking into account all Capital Account
adjustments for the Partnership taxable year in which such liquidation
occurs, such Partner shall pay to the Partnership in cash an amount
equal to the negative balance in such Partner's Capital Account. Such
payment shall be made by the end of such taxable year (or, if later,
within 90 days after the date of such liquidation) and shall, upon
liquidation of the Partnership, be paid to recourse creditors of the
Partnership or distributed to other Partners in accordance with the
positive balances in their Capital Accounts.
(b) With respect to assets distributed in kind to the Partners in
liquidation or otherwise, (i) any unrealized appreciation or unrealized
depreciation in the values of such assets shall be deemed to be profits
and losses realized by the Partnership immediately prior to the
liquidation or other distribution event; and (ii) such profits and
losses shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with Section
10.1(b), and any property so distributed shall be treated as a
distribution of an amount in cash equal to the excess of such fair
market value over the outstanding principal balance of and accrued
interest on any debt by which the property is encumbered. For the
purposes of this Section 10.3(b), "unrealized appreciation" or
"unrealized depreciation" shall mean the difference between the fair
market value of such assets, taking into account the fair market value
of the associated financing (but subject to Section 7701(g) of the
Code), and the Partnership's adjusted basis for such assets as
determined under Regulation Section 1.704-1(b). This Section 10.3(b) is
merely intended to provide a rule for allocating unrealized gains and
losses upon liquidation or other distribution event, and nothing
contained in this Section 10.3(b) or elsewhere herein is intended to
treat or cause such distributions to be treated as sales for value. The
fair market value of such assets shall be determined by an appraiser to
be selected by the General Partner with the Consent of the Investment
Limited Partner.
10.4 Special Provisions
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all profits,
tax exempt income, losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable
expenditures, tax credits and cash distributions shared by a class of
Partners shall be shared by each Partner in such class in the ratio of
such Partner's paid-in Capital Contribution to the paid-in Class
Contribution of the class of Partners of which such Partner is a member.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article X:
(i) If (a) the Partnership incurs recourse obligations or
Partner Non-Recourse Debt (including, without limitation,
Subordinated Loans) or (b) the Partnership incurs losses from
extraordinary events which are not recovered from insurance or
otherwise (collectively "Recourse Obligations") in respect of any
Partnership taxable year, then the calculation and allocation of
profits and losses shall be adjusted as follows: first, an amount
of deductions attributable to the Recourse Obligations shall be
allocated to the General Partners; and second, the balance of such
deductions shall be allocated as provided in Section 10.1(a).
(ii) If any profit arises from the sale or other disposition
of any Partnership asset which shall be treated as ordinary income
under the depreciation recapture provisions of the Code, then the
full amount of such ordinary income shall be allocated among the
Partners in the proportions that the Partnership deductions from
the depreciation giving rise to such recapture were actually
allocated. In the event that subsequently-enacted provisions of
the Code result in other recapture income, no allocation of such
recapture income shall
be made to any Partner who has not received the benefit of those
items giving rise to such other recapture income.
(iii) If the Partnership shall receive any purchase money
indebtedness in partial payment of the purchase price of the
Apartment Complex and such indebtedness is distributed to the
Partners pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.2(b) or Section
10.3, the distributions of the cash portion of such purchase price
and the principal amount of such purchase money indebtedness
hereunder shall be allocated among the Partners in the following
manner: On the basis of the sum of the principal amount of the
purchase money indebtedness and cash payments received on the sale
(net of amounts required to pay Partnership obligations and fund
reasonable reserves), there shall be calculated the percentage of
the total net proceeds distributable to each class of Partners
based on Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.3, as applicable, treating
cash payments and purchase money indebtedness principal
interchangeably for this purpose, and the respective classes shall
receive such respective percentages of the net cash purchase price
and purchase money principal. Payments on such purchase money
indebtedness retained by the Partnership shall be distributed in
accordance with the respective portions of principal allocated to
the respective classes of Partners in accordance with the
preceding sentence, and if any such purchase money indebtedness
shall be sold, the sale proceeds shall be allocated in the same
proportion.
(iv) Income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any
asset which has a variation between its basis computed in
accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and its
basis computed for Federal income tax purposes shall be shared
among the Partners so as to take account of such variation in a
manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the
Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(g).
(v) The terms "profits" and "losses" used in this Agreement
shall mean income and losses, and each item of income, gain, loss,
deduction or credit entering into the computation thereof, as
determined in accordance with the accounting methods followed by
the Partnership and computed in accordance with Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Profits and losses for
Federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner
as set forth in this Article X, except as provided in Section
10.4(b)(iv).
(vi) If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain
during a Partnership taxable year, each Partner will be allocated
items of income and gain for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner's
share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during the
year, before any other allocation of Partnership items for such
taxable year. A Partner shall not be subject to this mandatory
allocation of income or gain to the extent that any of the
exceptions provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(2)-
(5) applies. All allocations pursuant this Section 10.4(b)(vi)
shall be in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-
2(f). This provision is a "minimum gain chargeback" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be
construed as such.
(vii) If there is a net decrease in Partner Non-Recourse
Debt Minimum Gain during a Partnership taxable year, then each
Partner with a share of the minimum gain attributable to such debt
at the beginning of such year will be allocated items of income
and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an
amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in
Partner Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain chargeback to the extent
that any of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-2(i)(4) applied consistently with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(f)(2)-(5) under Section 704 of the Code.
(viii) If a Limited Partner unexpectedly receives (a) an
allocation of loss or deduction or expenditures described in
Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code made (1) pursuant to Section
704(e)(2) of the Code to a donee of an Interest, (2) pursuant to
Section 706(d) of the Code as the result of a change in any
Partner's Interest, or (3) pursuant to Regulation Section
1.751-1(b)(2)(ii) as a result of a distribution by the Partner
ship of unrealized receivables or inventory items or (b) a
distribution, and such allocation and/or distribution would cause
the negative balance in such Partner's Capital Account to exceed
(i) such Partner's share of Partnership Minimum Gain plus (ii) the
amount of such Partner's obligation, if any, to restore a negative
balance in such Partner's Capital Account, plus (iii) such
Partner's share of Partner Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain with
respect to which such partner or a Related Person or a Related
Person to such Partner bears the Economic Risk of Loss, then such
Partner shall be allocated items of income and gain in an amount
and manner sufficient to eliminate such negative balance as
quickly as possible. For purposes of this Section 10.4(b)(viii),
a Partner's Capital Account shall be treated as reduced by
Qualified Income Offset Items.
(ix) In the event that any fee payable to the General
Partner or any Affiliate thereof shall instead be determined to be
a non-deductible, non-capitalizable distribution from the
Partnership to a Partner for Federal income tax purposes, then
there shall be allocated to such General Partner an amount of
gross income equal to the amount of such distribution.
(x) In applying the provisions of Article X with respect to
distributions and allocations, the following ordering of
priorities shall apply:
(1) Capital Accounts shall be deemed to be reduced
by Qualified Income Offset Items.
(2) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by
distributions of Cash Flow under Section 10.2(a).
(3) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by
distributions from Capital Transactions under Section
10.2(b).
(4) Capital Accounts shall be increased by any
minimum gain chargeback under Section 10.4(b)(vi) or Section
10.4(b)(vii).
(5) Capital Accounts shall be increased by any
qualified income offset under Section 10.4(b)(viii).
(6) Capital Accounts shall be increased by
allocations of profits under Section 10.1(a).
(7) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by allocations
of losses under Section 10.1(a).
(8) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by allocations
of losses under Section 10.1(b).
(9) Capital Accounts shall be increased by
allocations of profits under Section 10.1(b).
(xi) To the maximum extent permitted under the Code,
allocations of profits and losses shall be modified so that the
Partners' Capital Accounts reflect the amounts they would have
reflected if adjustments required by Sections 10.4(b)(vi),
10.4(b)(vii) and 10.4(b)(viii) had not occurred.
10.5 Authority of the General Partners to Vary Allocations to
Preserve and Protect the Partners' Intent
(a) It is the intent of the Partners that each Partner's
distributive share of profits, tax-exempt income, losses, non-deductible
non-capitalizable expenditures and credits (and items thereof) shall be
determined and allocated in accordance with this Agreement to the
fullest extent permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code. In order to
preserve and protect the determinations and allocations provided for in
this Agreement, the General Partners are hereby authorized and directed
to allocate profits, tax-exempt income, losses, nondeductible
non-capitalizable expenditures and credits (and items thereof) arising
in any year differently than otherwise provided for in this Agreement to
the extent that allocating profits, tax-exempt income, losses, non-
deductible non-capitalizable expenditures or credits (or any item
thereof) in the manner provided for herein would cause the
determinations and allocations of each Partner's distributive share of
profits, tax-exempt income, losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable
expenditures, or credits (or any item thereof) not to be permitted by
Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder. Any allocation made pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be
deemed to be a complete substitute for any allocation otherwise provided
for in this Agreement, and no amendment of this Agreement or approval of
any Partner shall be required.
(b) In making any allocation (the "New Allocation") under Sec tion
10.5(a), the General Partners are authorized to act only after having
been advised in writing by the Tax Accountants that, under Section
704(b) of the Code, (i) the New Allocation is necessary, and (ii) the
New Allocation is the minimum modification of the allocations otherwise
provided for in this Agreement necessary in order to assure that, either
in the then-current year or in any preceding year, each Partner's
distributive share of profits, tax-exempt income, losses, non-deductible
non-capitalizable expenditures, and credits (or any item thereof) is
determined and allocated in accordance with this Agreement to the
fullest extent permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code.
(c) If the General Partners are required by Section 10.5(a) to
make any New Allocation in a manner less favorable to the Limited
Partners than is otherwise provided for herein, then the General
Partners are authorized and directed, only after having been advised in
writing by the Tax Accountants that such an allocation is permitted by
Section 704(b) of the Code, to allocate profits, tax-exempt income,
losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable expenditures, and credits (and
any item thereof) arising in later years in such manner so as to bring
the allocations of profits, tax-exempt income, losses, non-deductible
non-capitalizable expenditures, and credits (and each item thereof) to
the Limited
Partners as nearly as possible to the allocations thereof otherwise
contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) New Allocations made by the General Partners under Section
10.5(a) and Section 10.5(c) in reliance upon the advice of the Tax
Accountants shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary
obligation of the General Partners to the Partnership and the Limited
Partners, and no such allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause
of action by any Limited Partner.
ARTICLE XI
Management Agent
A. The General Partner shall engage the Management Agent to manage
the Apartment Complex pursuant to the Management Agreement. The
Management Agent shall receive a Management Fee of those amounts payable
from time to time by the Partnership to the Management Agent for
management services in accordance with a management contract approved by
RECD or, when the Apartment Complex is not subject to RECD regulation,
in accordance with a reasonable and competitive fee arrangement. From
and after the Admission Date, the Partnership shall not enter into any
Management Agreement or modify or extend any Management Agreement unless
(i) the General Partners shall have obtained the prior written consent
of the Special Limited Partner to the identity of the Management Agent
and the terms of the Management Agreement or the modification or
extension thereof and (ii) such new Management Agreement or modified or
extended Management Agreement provides that it is terminable by the
Partnership on thirty (30) days' notice by the Partnership in the event
of any change in the identity of the General Partners.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, should the Investment
General Partner or an Affiliate thereof perform property management
services for the Partnership, property management, rent-up or leasing
fees shall be paid to the Investment General Partner or such Affiliate
only for services actually rendered and shall be in an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) fees competitive in price and terms with those of
non-affiliated Persons rendering comparable services in the locality
where the Apartment Complex is located and which could reasonably be
available to the Partnership, or (ii) five percent (5%) of the gross
revenues of the Apartment Complex. No duplicate property management
fees shall be paid to any Person.
C. If (i) the Management Agent is the General Partner or an
Affiliate of the General Partner, and (a) the Apartment Complex shall be
subject to a substantial building code violation which shall not have
been cured within six months after notice from the applicable
governmental agency or department or (b) the Partnership shall not have
Cash Flow of at least $1,500 during year after 1997 or (ii) an Event of
Bankruptcy shall occur with respect to the Management Agent, or (iii)
the Management Agent shall commit willful misconduct or gross negligence
in its conduct of its duties and obligations under the Management
Agreement or (iv) there is any change in the identity of the General
Partners, or (v) the Management Agent is cited by RECD, any Tax Credit
monitoring or compliance agency of the State or any other governmental
agency for a violation or alleged violation of any applicable rules,
regulations or requirements, including, but not limited to, non-
compliance with the Minimum Set-Aside Test, the Rent Restriction Test or
any other Tax Credit-related provision, then upon request by the Special
Limited Partner and subject to RECD approval, if required, the General
Partners must cause the Partnership to promptly terminate the Management
Agreement with the Management Agent and appoint a new Management Agent
selected by the Special Limited Partner, which new Management Agent
shall not be not an Affiliate of the General Partner. Each General
Partner hereby grants to the Special Limited Partner an irrevocable (to
the extent permitted by applicable law) power of attorney coupled with
an interest to take any action and to execute and deliver any and all
documents and instruments on behalf of such General Partner and the
Partnership as the Special Limited Partner may deem to be necessary or
appropriate in order to effectuate the provisions of this Article XI.C.
Subject to RECD approval, if required, the Partnership shall not enter
into any future management arrangement or renew or extend any existing
management arrangement unless such arrangement is terminable without
penalty upon the occurrence of the events described in this Article XI.
D. The General Partners shall have the duty to manage the
Apartment Complex during any period when there is no Management Agent.
ARTICLE XII
Books and Records, Accounting, Tax Elections, Etc.
12.1 Books and Records
The Partnership shall maintain all books and records which are
required under the Uniform Act or by any governmental agency having
jurisdiction and may maintain such other books and records as the
General Partners in their discretion deem advisable. Every Limited
Partner, or its duly authorized representatives, shall at all times have
access to the records of the Partnership at the principal office of the
Partnership at any and all reasonable times, and may inspect and copy
any of such records. A list of the names and addresses of all of the
Limited Partners shall be maintained as part of the books and records of
the Partnership and shall be mailed to any Limited Partner upon request.
A reasonable charge for copy work may be charged by the Partnership.
12.2 Bank Accounts
The bank accounts of the Partnership shall be maintained in the
Partnership's name with such financial institutions as the General
Partners shall determine. Withdrawals shall be made only in the regular
course of Partnership business on such signature or signatures as the
General Partners may determine. All deposits (including security
deposits and other funds required to be escrowed by RECD) and other
funds not needed in the operation of the business shall be deposited, if
required by applicable law and to the extent permitted by RECD or
Mortgage requirements, in interest-bearing accounts or invested in
United States Government obligations maturing within one year.
12.3 Auditors
(a) The Auditors shall prepare, for execution by the General
Partners, all tax returns of the Partnership. Prior to the filing of
the Partnership tax returns, and in no event later than February 1 of
each year, the Auditors shall deliver the tax returns for such year to
the Tax Accountants for their review and comment. If a dispute arises
between the Auditors and the Tax Accountants over the proper preparation
of the tax returns and such dispute cannot be resolved by the Auditors
and the Tax Accountants by March 1 of such year, then the Tax
Accountants shall make the final decision on whether any changes are
necessary. The Partnership shall reimburse BCCLP for all costs and
expenses paid to the Tax Accountants for the aforementioned services.
(b) The Auditors shall compile all annual financial reports to the
Partners in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
(c) If the Partnership fails to fulfill any of its obligations
under Section 12.7(a)(i) and/or Section 12.7(a)(ii) within the time
periods set forth therein, at any time thereafter upon notice from the
Special Limited Partner that a change in the identity of the Auditors is
desired, the General Partners, on behalf of the Partnership, shall
promptly terminate the Partnership's engagement of the Auditors, and the
prior written consent of the Special Limited Partner must be received to
the appointment of replacement Auditors. If no such consent is received
to the appointment of replacement Auditors within thirty (30) days of
the notice from the Special Limited Partner to replace the Auditors,
then the Special Limited Partner shall appoint replacement Auditors of
its own choosing, the cost of which shall be borne by the Partnership as
a Partnership expense. All Partners hereby grant to the Special Limited
Partner a special power of attorney, irrevocable to the extent permitted
by law, coupled with an interest, to so appoint replacement Auditors and
to anything else which in the view of the Special Limited Partner may be
necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this Section
12.3(c).
12.4 Cost Recovery and Elections
(a) With respect to all depreciable assets for which cost recovery
deductions are permitted, the Partnership shall elect to use, so far as
permitted by the provisions of the Code, accelerated cost recovery
methods. However, the Partnership may change to another method of cost
recovery if such other method is, in the opinion of the Auditors, more
advantageous to the Investment Limited Partner and the limited partners
and/or holders of beneficial assignee certificates thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, unless the Consent of the
Investment Limited Partner is received permitting a different cost
recovery schedule, the Partnership shall depreciate its personal and
real property utilizing the alternative depreciation system of Section
168(g)(2) of the Code.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.5, all other
elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under the
Code shall be made by the General Partners in such manner as will, in
the opinion of the Auditors, be most advantageous to the Investment
Limited Partner and the limited partners and/or holders of beneficial
assignee certificates thereof.
12.5 Special Basis Adjustments
In the event of a transfer of all or any part of the Interest of
the Investment Limited Partner or a transfer of all or any part of an
interest of a partner and/or holders of beneficial assignee certificates
of the Investment Limited Partner, the Partnership shall elect, upon the
request of the Investment Limited Partner, pursuant to Section 754 of
the Code, to adjust the basis of the Partnership property. Any
adjustments made pursuant to said Section 754 shall affect only the
successor in interest to the transferring Partner or partner or holder
of beneficial assignee certificate thereof. Each Partner will furnish
the Partnership all information necessary to give effect to such
election.

(iii) any General Partner has received any notice of a
material fact which may substantially affect further distributions
or Tax Credit allocations to any Limited Partner, or
(iv) any Partner has pledged or collateralized its Interest
in the Partnership,
the General Partners shall send the Investment Limited Partner a

Upon receipt, the Partnership shall send to the Investment Limited

Promptly after Permanent Mortgage Commencement, the General Partners

RECD District Office, as well as any other applicable RECD office,

the General Partners shall send copies of the rent rolls to BCCLP no
later than ten (10) days after the expiration of each month.
(i) If the earlier of (A) the Completion Date or (B) the date upon
which tenants first occupied apartment units in the Apartment Complex
shall have occurred six months or more prior to the date upon which the
Investment Limited Partner acquired its Interest in the Partnership,
then the General Partners shall cause to be prepared and delivered to
the Investment Limited Partner within sixty (60) days of the Admission
Date the following items:
(i) An unaudited statement of income of the Partnership for
the year (or such shorter period as there may be from the date of
the most recent audited statement of income of the Partnership)
ended on the date upon which the Investment Limited Partner
acquired its Interest in the Partnership; and
(ii) An audited statement of income of the Partnership for
any fiscal year of the Partnership ending between (A) the earlier
of (1) the Completion Date or (2) the date upon which tenants
first occupied apartment units in the Apartment Complex and (B)
the date upon which the Investment Limited Partner acquired its
Interest in the Partnership.
(j) Within thirty (30) days of the Completion Date, the General
Partners shall prepare, or cause the Auditors to prepare, and deliver to
each Limited Partner a Tax Credit basis worksheet for each building in
the Apartment Complex, all in a form specified by BCCLP.
(k) In addition to all reporting requirements imposed hereunder,
the General Partners shall deliver, on or before February 15 of each
year for the previous year,
(l) If the General Partners do not cause the Partnership to
fulfill its obligations under Section 12.7(a)(i) and/or Section
12.7(a)(ii) and/or Section 12.7(k) within the time periods set forth
therein, the General Partners may be required by the Investment Limited
Partner to pay as damages the sum of $100 per day (plus interest at a
rate equal to the general base rate of interest established by The First
National Bank of Boston or its successors and assigns and announced by
it as the rate charged by it to its prime commercial customers on
short-term unsecured borrowings as its "base rate" from time to time in
effect plus 3%) to the Investment Limited Partner until such obligations
shall have been fulfilled. Such damages shall be paid forthwith by the
General Partners, and failure to so pay shall constitute a material
default of the General Partners hereunder. In addition, if the General
Partners shall so fail to pay, the General Partners and their Affiliates
shall forthwith cease to be entitled to the Annual Partnership
Management Fee, and to the payment of any Cash Flow or Capital
Transaction proceeds to which they may otherwise be entitled hereunder.
Such payments of the Annual Partnership Management Fee, Cash Flow and
Capital Transaction proceeds shall be restored only upon the payment of
such damages in full, and any amount of such damages not so paid shall
be deducted against payments of the Annual Partnership Management Fee,
Cash Flow and Capital Transaction proceeds otherwise due to the General
Partners or their Affiliates.
12.8 Expenses of the Partnership
(a) All expenses of the Partnership shall be billed directly to
and paid by the Partnership.
(b) Except in extraordinary circumstances, neither the Investment
General Partner nor any Affiliate thereof shall be permitted to contract
or otherwise deal with the Partnership for the sale of goods or services
or the lending of money to the Partnership or the General Partners,
except for (i) management services, subject to the restrictions set
forth in Article XI.B., (ii) loans made by, or guaranteed by, the
Investment General Partner or any of its Affiliates, and (iii) those
dealings, contracts or provision of services described in the Investment
Partnership Agreement or in the Prospectus. Extraordinary circumstances
shall only be presumed to exist where there is an emergency situation
requiring immediate action and the services required are not immediately
available from unaffiliated parties. All services rendered under such
circumstances must be rendered pursuant to a written contract which must
contain a clause allowing termination without penalty on sixty (60)
days' notice. Goods and services provided under such circumstances must
be provided at the lesser of actual cost or the price charged for such
goods or services by independent parties.
(c) In the event extraordinary circumstances arise, the Investment
General Partner and its Affiliates may provide construction services in
connection with the Apartment Complex. Neither the Investment General
Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall provide such services unless it
believes it has an adequate staff to do so and unless such provision of
goods and construction services is part of its ordinary and ongoing
business in which it has previously engaged, independent of the
activities of the Investment Limited Partner. Any such services must be
reasonable for and necessary to the Investment Limited Partner, actually
furnished to the Investment Limited Partner, and provided at the lower
of ten percent (10%) of the construction contract rate with respect to
the Apartment Complex or ninety percent (90%) of the competitive price
charged for such services by independent parties for comparable goods
and services in the same geographic location (except that in the case of
transfer agent, custodial and similar banking-type fees, and insurance
fees, the compensation, price or fee shall be at the lesser of costs or
the compensation, price or fee of any other Person rendering comparable
services as aforesaid). Cost of services as used herein means the pro
rata cost of personnel, including an allocation of overhead directly
attributable to such personnel, based on the amount of time such
personnel spent on such services or other method of allocation
acceptable to the accountants for the Investment Limited Partner.
(d) All services provided by the Investment General Partner or any
Affiliate thereof pursuant to Section 12.8(c) must be rendered pursuant
to the Investment Partnership Agreement or a written contract which
precisely describes the services to be rendered and all compensation to
be paid and shall contain a clause allowing termination without penalty
upon sixty (60) days' notice to the Investment General Partner by a vote
of a majority in interest of the limited partners and assignees of
beneficial interests in the Investment Limited Partner.
(e) No compensation or fees may be paid by the Partnership to the
Investment General Partner or its Affiliates except as described in the
Investment Partnership Agreement or in the Prospectus.
ARTICLE XIII
General Provisions
13.1 Restrictions by Reason of Section 708 of the Code
No Disposition may be made if the Interest sought to be Disposed
of, when added to the total of all other Interests Disposed of within
the period of twelve consecutive months prior to the proposed date of
the Disposition, could, in the opinion of tax counsel to the
Partnership, result in the termination of the Partnership under Section
708 of the Code. This Section 13.1 shall have no application to any
required repurchase of the Investment Limited Partner's Interest. Any
Disposition in contravention of any of the provisions of this Section
13.1 shall be void ab initio and ineffectual and shall not bind or be
recognized by the Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 13.1, however, the Investment Limited Partner may waive
the provisions of this Section 13.1 at any time as to a Disposition or
series of Dispositions, and in the event of such a waiver, this Section
13.1 shall have no force or effect upon such Disposition or series of
Dispositions.
13.2 Amendments to Certificate
Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of any
Partnership fiscal year in which the Investment Limited Partner shall
have received any distributions under Article X, the General Partners
shall file an amendment to this Agreement reducing by the amount of its
allocable share of such distribution the amount of Capital Contribution
of the Investment Limited Partner as stated in the last previous
amendment to this Agreement. However, Schedule A shall not be amended
on account of any such distribution.
The Partnership shall amend the Certificate at least once each
calendar quarter to effect the substitution of Substituted Limited
Partners, although the General Partners may elect to do so more
frequently. In the case of assignments, where the assignee does not
become a Substituted Limited Partner, the Partnership shall recognize
the assignment not later than the last day of the calendar month
following receipt of notice of assignment and all docu mentation
required in connection therewith hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.2, no
such amendments to this Agreement need be filed by the General Partners
if the Certificate is not required to and does not identify the Limited
Partners or their Capital Contributions in such capacity.
13.3 Notices
Any notice called for under this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed adequately given if actually delivered or if sent by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the party for whom
such notice is intended at such party's last address of record on the
Partnership books.
13.4 Word Meanings
The words such as "herein," "hereinafter," "hereof" and
"hereunder" refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a
subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise
requires. The singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, and
each gender (masculine, feminine and neuter) shall include the other
genders, unless the context requires otherwise. Each reference to a
"Section" or an "Article" refers to the corresponding Section or Article
of this Agreement, unless specified otherwise. References to Treasury
Regulations (permanent or temporary) or Revenue Procedures shall include
any successor provisions.
13.5 Binding Effect
The covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administra-tors,
successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto.
13.6 Applicable Law
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the State.
13.7 Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts and all so
executed shall constitute one agreement binding on all parties hereto,
notwithstanding that all the parties have not signed the original or the
same counterpart.
13.8 Financing Regulations
So long as any of the Project Documents are in effect, (a) each of
the provisions of this Agreement shall be subject to, and the General
Partners covenant to act in accordance with, the Project Documents; (b)
the Project Documents shall govern the rights and obligations of the
Partners, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns
to the extent expressly provided therein; (c) upon any dissolution of
the Partnership or any transfer of the Apartment Complex, no title or
right to the possession and control of the Apartment Complex and no
right to collect the rent therefrom shall pass to any Person who is not,
or does not become, bound by the Project Documents and other RECD
documents in a manner satisfactory to the RECD; (d) no amendment to any
provision of the Project Documents shall become effective without the
prior written consent of RECD (if required); and (e) the affairs of the
Partnership shall be subject to RECD regulation and no action shall be
taken which would require the consent or approval of RECD unless the
same is first obtained. No new Partner shall be admitted to the
Partnership, and no Partner shall withdraw from the Partnership or be
substituted for without the consent of RECD (if such consent is then
required). No amendment to this Agreement relating to matters governed
by RECD regulations or requirements shall become effective until the
prior written consent of RECD (if required) to such amendment shall have
been obtained.
Any conveyance or transfer of title to all or any portion of the
Apartment Complex required or permitted under this Agreement shall in
all respects be subject to all conditions, approvals and other
requirements of RECD rules and regulations applicable thereto.
13.9 Separability of Provisions
Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable and
(a) if for any reason any provision is determined to be invalid, such
invalidity shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of
this Agreement which are valid, and (b) if for any reason any provision
would cause the Investment Limited Partner to be bound by the
obligations of the Partnership (other than the rules and regulations of
RECD and the requirements of any other Lender), such provision or
provisions shall be deemed void and of no effect.
13.10 Paragraph Titles
All article and section headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and are not intended to qualify the
meaning of any article or section.
13.11 Amendment Procedure
This Agreement may be amended by the General Partners only with
the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner and the prior written
consent of the Special Limited Partner.
13.12 Extraordinary Limited Partner Expenses
Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Investment Limited
Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner in connection with exercising
rights and remedies against the General Partners with respect to this
Agreement, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees,
shall be paid by the General Partners on demand. All amounts due to the
Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner pursuant
to this provision shall bear interest from demand at a rate of 9%. If
any General Partner breaches any provision of this Agreement, the
Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner may employ
an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and the
General Partners shall pay on demand the reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred by the Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special
Limited Partner, whether or not a legal action is actually commenced
against any General Partner by reason of such breech. All amounts due
to the Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner
pursuant to this provision shall bear interest from demand at a rate
equal to 9%.
13.13 Time of Admission
The Investment Limited Partner shall be deemed to have been
admitted to the Partnership as of the Commencement Date for all purposes
of this Agreement, including Article X hereof; provided, however, that
if regulations are issued under the Code or an amendment to the Code is
adopted which would require, in the opinion of the Auditors, that the
Investment Limited Partner be deemed admitted on a date other than as of
the Commencement Date, then the General Partners shall select a
permitted admission date which is most favorable to the Investment
Limited Partner.
WITNESS the execution hereof under seal as of the 1st day of
September, 1996.
