separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable
income or loss), with the following adjustments:

from such taxable income or loss;
6

pursuant to Section 1.30(a) or (b) hereof, the amount of such adjustment shall
be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for
purposes of computing Income and Losses;
(d) Gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Company assets with
respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income purposes shall be
computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the property disposed of,
notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from its
Gross Asset Value;
(e) In lieu of the depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery
deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there
shall be taken into account depreciation for such fiscal year or other period,
computed as provided below; and
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this definition, any items
which are specially allocated pursuant to Sections 10.3 or 10.4 hereof shall not
otherwise be taken into account in computing Income or Losses.
Depreciation for each fiscal year or other period shall be calculated
as follows: an amount equal to the depreciation, amortization, or other cost
recovery deduction allowable with respect to an asset for such year or other
period for federal income tax purposes, except that if the Gross Asset Value of
an asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the
beginning of such year or other period, depreciation shall be an amount which
bears the same ratio to such beginning Gross Asset Value as the federal income
tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction for such year
or other period bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however,
if the federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery
deduction for such year is zero, depreciation shall be determined with reference
to such beginning Gross Asset Value using any reasonable method selected by the
Managing Member.

Member receiving notice of the Reduction Shortfall from the Investor Member.
(c) The Managing Member will use its best efforts to rent 100% of the
Project's apartment units to Qualified Tenants over the fifteen (15) year LIHTC
life. If at the end of each calendar year during the first five calendar years
following the year in which the Project is placed in service, the Actual Tax
Credit for any fiscal year or portion thereof is less than the Projected Annual
Tax Credit, or the Revised Projected Annual Tax Credit, if applicable,
pertaining to such fiscal year or portion thereof, then the Capital Contribution
of the Investor Member shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
between (A) Projected Annual Tax Credits, or the Revised Projected Annual Tax
Credits, if applicable, and (B) the Actual Tax Credit. Any reduction in Capital
Contribution shall first be applied to reduce the Investor Member's next Capital
Contribution, and any portion of such reduction in excess of such Capital
Contribution shall be applied to reduce succeeding Capital Contributions of the
Investor Member. If no further Capital Contribution payments are due and owing
from the Investor Member, then the entire amount of such reduction shall be
repaid by the Managing Member to the Investor Member from the Manager's share of
Net Operating Income and if not repaid in full by the time of a Sale or
Refinance then the unpaid portion shall be paid from the available funds under
Section 11.2(b) of this Agreement.
(d) In the event that, for any reason, at any time after the first five
calendar years of Company operations, if the amount of the Actual Tax Credit
shall be less than the Projected Tax Credit (or the Revised Projected Tax
Credit, if applicable) (the "Credit Shortfall") then there shall be a
corresponding reduction in the Managing Member's Net Operating Income in an
amount equal to the Credit Shortfall and said amount shall be allocated and paid
to the Investor Member. In the event there is not sufficient funds to pay the
full Credit Shortfall to the Investor Member at the time of the next
Distribution of Net Operating Income then the Investor Member shall be treated
as having made a constructive advance to the Company with respect to such year
(a "Credit Shortfall Loan"), which shall be deemed to have been made on January
1 of such year. Credit Shortfall Loans shall be deemed to bear no interest.
Credit Shortfall Loans shall be repaid in the next year in which sufficient
moneys are available from the Net Operating Income. In the event a Sale or
Refinancing of the Project occurs prior to repayment in full of the Credit
Shortfall Loan then the excess will be paid in accordance with Section 11.2(b).
(e) The Managing Member has represented, in part, that the Investor
Member will receive Projected Annual Tax Credits. In the event the 1998 and 1999
Projected Annual Tax Credits are less than projected then the Investor Member's
Capital Contribution shall be reduced by an amount equal to 70% times the
difference between the Projected Annual Tax Credits for 1998 and 1999 and the
Actual Tax Credits for 1998 and 1999. In addition, if in the event the 1998 and
20
1999 Tax Credits are less than projected then the Special Member's Capital
Contribution shall be reduced following the same equation referenced in the
preceding sentence. If, at the time of determination thereof, the Capital
Contribution adjustment referenced in this Section 7.6(e) is greater than the
balance of the Member's or Special Member's Capital Contribution payment which
is then due, if any, then the Capital Contribution reduction amount shall be
paid by the Managing Member to the Investor Member and/or the Special Member
within ninety days of the Managing Member receiving notice of the reduction from
the Investor Members and/or the Special Member.
(f) The Members recognize and acknowledge that the Investor Member and
the Special Member are making their Capital Contribution, in part, on the
expectation that the Projected Tax Credits are allocated to the Investor Member
and the Special Member over the Tax Credit Period. If the Projected Tax Credits
are not allocated to the Investor Member and the Special Member during the Tax
Credit Period then the Investor Member's and Special Member's Capital
Contribution shall be reduced by an amount agreed upon by the Members, in good
faith, to provide the Investor Member and the Special Member with their
anticipated internal rate of return.
(g) In the event there is a reduction in the qualified basis of the
Project for income tax purposes following an audit by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) resulting in a recapture of Tax Credits previously claimed, then,
in addition to any other payments to which the Investor Member and Special
Member are entitled under the terms of this Section 7.6 the Managing Member
shall pay to the Investor Member and Special Member the sum of (1) the
deficiency assessed against the Investor Member or Special Member as a result of
the Tax Credit recapture, (2) any interest and penalties imposed on the Investor
Member or Special Member with respect to such deficiency, and (3) an amount
sufficient to pay any tax liability owed by the Investor Member or Special
Member resulting from the receipt of the amounts specified in (1) and (2).
Section 7.7 Return of Capital Contribution. From time to time the
Company may have cash in excess of the amount required for the conduct of the
affairs of the Company, and the Managing Member may, in its sole discretion,
determine that such cash should, in whole or in part, be returned to the
Investor Member in reduction of its Capital Contribution. Any Distribution to
the Investor Member pursuant to this Section 7.7, shall be deemed to have been
consented to by the Investor Member. No such return shall be made:
(a) Until this Agreement has been amended to reflect such reduction of
capital; and
(b) Unless all liabilities of the Company (except those to Members on
account of amounts credited to them pursuant to this Agreement) have been paid
or there remain assets of the Company sufficient, in the sole discretion of the
Managing Member, to pay such liabilities.
Section 7.8 Liability of Investor Member. The Investor Member shall not
be liable for any of the debts, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of
the Company. The Investor Member shall be liable only to make its Capital
Contribution in the amounts and on the dates specified in this Agreement and
shall not be required to lend any funds to the Company or, after its Capital
Contribution has been paid, to make any further Capital Contribution to the
Company.

applicability which would adversely affect the Company, the Managing Member,
Affiliates of the Managing Member or the Project only insofar as they or any of
them are part of the general public.
(t) Neither the Company nor Spring Valley Terrace, Inc. have any
liabilities, contingent or otherwise, which have not been disclosed in
writing to the Investor Member and which in the aggregate do not affect the
ability of the Investor Member to obtain the anticipated benefits of its
investment in the Company.
(u) The Managing Member, and/or Human Action for Chandler, an Arizona

forth in this Section 9.11.
Section 9.12 Option to Acquire. After expiration of the Compliance
Period, the Managing Member may give notice (the "Member Notice") to the
Investor Member that it desires to purchase the entire Interest of each of the
Investor Member and the Special Member in the Company. Upon receipt by the
Investor Member and the Special Member, the following events shall occur:
(a) The purchase price of the Interests shall be determined. The
purchase price shall be the greater of (i) the aggregate of the Fair Market
Value of the Interest of the Investor Member and the Fair Market Value of the
Interest of the Special Member or (ii) the "Tax Amount" as hereinafter defined.
Notwithstanding the preceding, the purchase price shall be no less than the
principal amount of all outstanding indebtedness secured by the Project.
32
(b) The Investor Member and the Special Member shall negotiate with the
Managing Member for a period of 30 days after the Member Notice is received to
agree upon the Fair Market Value of their respective Interests. In the event an
agreement is not reached within such 30-day period, then the Managing Member or
the Special Member may request that Fair Market Value be determined in
accordance with the process set forth below by sending notice (the "Appraisal
Notice") of same to the other party within 15 days of the expiration of the
30-day period. If an Appraisal Notice is not sent by either party within such
15-day period, then the Managing Member's option shall expire.
(c) If the respective Fair Market Value of the Interests of the
Investor Member and the Special Member are not agreed upon as provided above and
either the Managing Member or the Special Member issues to the other Person an
Appraisal Notice, then the Fair Market Value of such Interests shall be
determined by an appraisal. The appraisal shall be conducted by an independent
appraiser satisfactory to the Managing Member and the Special Member or, in the
event that a single independent appraiser cannot be agreed upon within 30 days
following the date of the Appraisal Notice, the Managing Member and the Special
Member shall each select an independent appraiser and the appraisers so selected
shall select a third independent appraiser. All appraisers so designated shall
be experienced in accounting, business or real estate appraisal. The appraiser
or appraisers shall determine the Fair Market Value of the Interest of each of
the Investor Member and the Special Member. The decision of the appraisers (if
more than one) shall be made by the majority of such appraisers. The appraiser
or appraisers shall render a written report setting forth the Fair Market Value
of such Interests, which decision shall be rendered as expeditiously as possible
by the appraiser or appraisers and which decision shall be final and binding
upon the parties. The reasonable fees and expenses of the appraiser or
appraisers shall be paid one-half by the Managing Member and one-half by the
Investor Member.
(d) The "Tax Amount" shall mean the dollar amount computed in the
following fashion:
(i) The Investor Member and the Special Member shall be deemed
to have gain in an amount equal to the difference between their respective basis
in the Project and an amount equal to the total forgiveness of debt which would
be realized by the Investor Member and the Special Member computed as if the
Investor Member and the Special Member abandoned their Interests in the Company
on the date of the Member Notice. The Tax Amount shall equal the deemed gain as
computed above by a tax rate(s) applied to such gain. The tax rate shall be the
highest individual rate stated in the Code applicable to the type of income (and
if there is more than one rate applicable because of more than one type of
income, the different rates shall be applied to the appropriate portions of such
income). The Investor Member shall cooperate to expeditiously determine the Tax
Amount.
(e) Following determination of the purchase price, the Managing Member
shall have 30 days thereafter to determine whether the Managing Member will
purchase the Interests of the Investor Member and the Special Member at the
purchase price so determined. The Managing Member shall exercise such right by
written notice to the Investor Member and the Special Member within such 30-day
period, and if such right is not so exercised, the option shall lapse in its
entirety.
33
(f) If the Managing Member determines to proceed with the purchase, the
purchase price shall be paid in cash, within 90 days following the giving of the
notice required by Section 9.12(e) and, in addition, interest shall be paid on
the purchase price from the date of the Member Notice, payable with the purchase
price, and calculated at the rate of interest set forth in Section 6.3 hereof.
ARTICLE X
ALLOCATIONS OF INCOME, LOSSES AND CREDITS
Section 10.1 General. All items includable in the calculation of Income
or Loss not arising from a Sale or Refinancing, and all Tax Credits, shall be
allocated 99.98% to the Investor Member, .01% to the Special Member and .01% to
the Managing Member.
Section 10.2 Allocations From Sale or Refinancing. All Income and
Losses arising from a Sale or Refinancing shall be allocated between the Members
as follows:
(a) As to Income:
(1) First, an amount of Income equal to the aggregate negative
balances (if any) in the Capital Accounts of all Members having negative Capital
Accounts (prior to taking into account the Sale or Refinancing and the
Distribution of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, but after giving effect to
Distributions of Net Operating Income and allocations of Income and Losses
pursuant to Section 10.1 for the year) shall be allocated to such Members in
proportion to their negative Capital Account balances until all such Capital
Accounts shall have zero balances; and
(2) Second, an amount of Income sufficient to increase the
Investor Member's positive Capital Account balance to an amount equal to its
Capital Contribution, determined prior to taking into account the Distribution
of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds from the Sale or Refinancing but after giving
effect to allocations pursuant to Section 10.2(a) resulting from the Sale or
Refinancing; and
(3) the balance, if any, of such Income shall be allocated
99.98% to the Investor Member, .01% to the Special Member and .01% to the
Managing Member.
(b) As to Losses:
(1) an amount of Losses equal to the aggregate positive
balances (if any) in the Capital Accounts of all Members having positive Capital
Accounts (prior to taking into account the Sale or Refinancing and the
Distribution of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, but after giving effect to
Distributions of Net Operating Income and allocations of Income and Losses
pursuant to Section 10.1 for the year) shall be allocated to such Members in
proportion to their positive Capital Account balances until all such Capital
Accounts shall have zero balances; and
(2) the balance of any such Losses shall be allocated 99.98%
to the Investor Member, .01% to the Special Member and .01% to the Managing
Member.
34
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 10.2(a) and
(b), in no event shall any Losses be allocated to an Investor Member if and to
the extent that such allocation would create or increase an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit for such Investor Member. In the event an allocation of 99.98%
of each item includable in the calculation of Income or Loss not arising from a
Sale or Refinancing, would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit for the Investor Member, then so much of the items of deduction other
than projected depreciation shall be allocated to the Managing Member instead of
the Investor Member as is necessary to allow the Investor Member to be allocated
99.98% of the items of income and Project depreciation without creating or
increasing an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for the Investor Member, it being
the intent of the parties that the Investor Member always be allocated 99.98% of
the items of Income not arising from a Sale or Refinancing and 99.98% of the
Project depreciation.
Section 10.3 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall
be made in the following order:
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury
Regulations, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article X, if there is
a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company fiscal year, each
Member shall be specially allocated items of Company Income and gain for such
fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to
such Person's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to
the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts
required to be allocated to each Member and pursuant thereto. The items to be so
allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(f)(6) and
1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 10.3(a) is intended to
comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the
Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the
Treasury Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X, if
there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to
a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company fiscal year, each Person who has a
share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member
Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the
Treasury Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Company Income and
gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an
amount equal to such Person's share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse
Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant
to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts
required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so
allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and
1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 10.3(b) is intended to
comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of
the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments,
allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or Section
35
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company Income and gain shall be specially
allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate,
to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation
pursuant to this Section 10.3(c) shall be made if and only to the extent that
such Member would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other
allocations provided for in this Section 10.3 have been tentatively made as if
this Section 10.3(c) were not in the Agreement.
(d) In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of
any Company fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such
Member is obligated to restore, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be
obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be
specially allocated items of Company Income and gain in the amount of such
excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this
Section 10.3(d) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would
have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations
provided for in this Section 10.3 have been tentatively made as if this Section
10.3(d) and Section 10.3(c) hereof were not in the Agreement.
(e) Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially
allocated 99.98% to the Investor Member, .01% to the Special Member and .01% to
the Managing Member.
(f) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be
specially allocated to the Managing Member or Investor Member who bears the
economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such
Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
(g) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any
Company asset pursuant to Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital
Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of
his interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital
Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the
basis of the asset) or Loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such
gain or Loss shall be specially allocated to the Managing Member and the
Investor Member in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event
that Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the
Member to whom such distribution was made in the event that Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.
(h) To the extent the Company has taxable interest income with respect
to any promissory note pursuant to Section 483 or Section 1271 through 1288 of
the Code:
(a) Such interest income shall be specially allocated to
the Investor Member to whom such promissory note relates; and
(b) The amount of such interest income shall be excluded from
the Capital Contributions credited to such Member's Capital Account in
connection with payments of principal with respect to such promissory note.
36
(i) In the event the adjusted tax basis of any Code Section 38 property
that has been placed in service by the Company is increased pursuant to Code
Section 50(c), such increase shall be specially allocated among the Members (as
an item in the nature of income or gain) in the same proportions as the
investment tax credit that is recaptured with respect to such property is shared
among the Members.
(j) Any reduction in the adjusted tax basis (or cost) of Company Code
Section 38 property pursuant to Code Section 50(c) shall be specially allocated
among the Members (as an item in the nature of expenses or losses) in the same
proportions as the basis (or cost) of such property is allocated pursuant to
Treasury Regulations Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i).
(k) Any Income, Loss, or deduction realized as a direct or indirect
result of the issuance of an Interest in the Company by the Company to a Member
(the "Issuance Items") shall be allocated amount the Members so that, to the
extent possible, the net amount of such Issuance Items, together with all other
allocations under this Agreement to each Member, shall be equal to the net
amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the issuance items
had not been realized.
(l) If any Company expenditure treated as a deduction on its federal
income tax return is disallowed as a deduction and treated as a distribution
pursuant to Section 731(a) of the Code, there shall be a special allocation of
gross income to the Member deemed to have received such distribution equal to
the amount of such distribution.
(m) The allocation to the Managing Member of each material item of
Company income, loss, deduction or credit will not be less than .01% of each
such item at all times during the existence of the Company.
(n) Interest deduction on the Company indebtedness referred to in
Section 6.3 shall be allocated 100% to the Managing Member.
Section 10.4 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in
Sections 10.3(a), 10.3(b), 10.3(c), 10.3(d), 10.3(e), 10.3(f), and 10.3(g)
hereof (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain
requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that,
to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with
other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of
Company Income, gain, Loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 10.4.
Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of the Article X (other than the
Regulatory Allocations), the Managing Member shall make such offsetting special
allocations of Company Income, gain, Loss, or deduction in whatever manner the
Managing Member determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting
allocations are made, each Member's Capital Account balance is, to the extent
possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the
Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were
allocated pursuant to Sections 10.3(h), 10.3(i), 10.3(j), 10.3(k) and 10.5. In
exercising its discretion under Section 10.4, the Managing Member shall take
into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 10.3(a) and 10.3(b)
that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations
previously made under Sections 10.3(e) and 10.3(f).
37
Section 10.5 Other Allocation Rules.
(a) The basis (or cost) of any Company Code Section 38 property shall
be allocated among the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
1.46-3 (f)(2)(i). All Tax Credits (other than the investment tax credit) shall
be allocated among the Members in accordance with applicable law. Consistent
with the foregoing, the Members intend that LIHTC will be allocated 99.98% to
the Investor Member, .01% to the Special Member and .01% to the Managing Member.
(b) In the event Company Code Section 38 property is disposed of during
any taxable year, profits for such taxable year (and, to the extent such profits
are insufficient, profits for subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to
the excess, if any, of (i) the reduction in the adjusted tax basis (or cost) of
such property pursuant to Code Section 50(c), over (ii) any increase in the
adjusted tax basis of such property pursuant to Code Section 50(c) caused by the
disposition of such property, shall be excluded from the profits allocated
pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof and shall instead be allocated among the Members
in proportion to their respective shares of such excess, determined pursuant to
Section 10.3(i) and 10.3(j) hereof. In the event more than one item of such
property is disposed of by the Company, the foregoing sentence shall apply to
such items in the order in which they are disposed of by the Company, so the
profits equal to the entire amount of such excess with respect to the first such
property disposed of shall be allocated prior to any allocations with respect to
the second such property disposed of, and so forth.
(c) For purposes of determining the Income, Losses, or any other items
allocable to any period, Income, Losses, and any such other items shall be
determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Managing
Member using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder.
Section 10.6 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with
Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, Income, Loss, and
deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company
shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take
account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the
Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value
(computed in accordance with this Agreement).
In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant
hereto, subsequent allocations of Income, gain, Loss, and deduction with respect
to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of
such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same
manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by
the Managing Member in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and
intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 10.6 are
solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or
in any way be taken into account in computing, any Person's Capital Account or
share of Income, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement.
38
Section 10.7 Allocation Among Investor Members and Assignees. In the
event that the Interest of the Investor Member hereunder is at any time held by
more than one Member or Assignee all tax items which are specifically allocated
to the Investor Member for any month pursuant to this Article X shall be
apportioned among such Persons according to the ratio of their respective
profit-sharing interests in the Company at the last day of such month.
Section 10.8 Allocation Among Managing Member. In the event that the
Interest of the Managing Member hereunder is at any time held by more than one
Managing Member all tax items which are specifically allocated to the Managing
Member for any month pursuant to this Article X shall be apportioned among such
Persons in such percentages as may from time to time be determined by agreement
among them without amendment to this Agreement or consent of the Investor
Member.
Section 10.9 Modification of Allocations. The provisions of Articles X
and XI and other provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704 and shall be interpreted and applied in a
manner consistent with such section of the Treasury Regulations. In the event
that the Managing Member determines, in its sole discretion, that it is prudent
to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts of the Members and Assignees,
or any debit or credit thereto, are computed in order to comply with such
section of the Treasury Regulations, the Managing Member may make such
modification, to the minimum extent necessary, to effect the plan of allocations
and Distributions provided for elsewhere in this Agreement. Further, the
Managing Member shall make any appropriate modifications in the event it appears
that unanticipated events (e.g., the existence of a Company election pursuant to
Code Section 754) might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704.
39

the end of the six-month period.
(2) In exercising its powers pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 13.2(a) the Investor Member may elect to remove only one of the

one Manager's default does not necessarily affect the other Managing Member.
(b) Written notice of the removal for cause of a Managing Member shall

registered mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service. Such notice
shall set forth the reasons for the removal, if any, and the date upon which the

Managing Member shall cause an accounting to be prepared covering the
transactions of the Company from the end of the previous fiscal year through the

Company assets in the ordinary course of business of the Company or otherwise
unless such sale or disposition is subject to a contract entered into by and
binding upon the Company prior to the date upon which such notice was received
by the defaulting Managing Member. If possible, the accounting shall be

Managing Member shall immediately cease to be a Managing Member, shall have no
further right to participate in the management or operation of the Company or
the Project or to receive any allocations or Distributions from the Company or
any other funds or assets of the Company, except as specifically set forth
below. In the event of a Withdrawal, any or all executory contracts, including
but not limited to the Management Agreement, between the Company and the
Withdrawing Managing Member or its Affiliates may be terminated by the Company,
with the Consent of the Special Member, upon written notice to the party so
terminated.
Furthermore, notwithstanding such Withdrawal, the Withdrawing Managing
Member shall be and shall remain, liable as a Managing Member for all
liabilities and obligations incurred by the Company or by the Managing Member
prior to the effective date of the Withdrawal, or which may arise upon such
Withdrawal. Any remaining Member shall have all other rights and remedies
against the Withdrawing Managing Member as provided by law or under this
Agreement.
The Managing Member agrees that in the event of its Withdrawal it will
indemnify and hold the Investor Member and the Special Member harmless from and
against all losses, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
Withdrawal, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other expenses of
the Investor Member and the Special Member in connection with the transaction.
The following additional provisions shall apply in the event of a
Withdrawal:
(a) In the event of a Withdrawal which is not an Involuntary
Withdrawal, the Withdrawing Managing Member shall have no further right to
receive any future allocations or Distributions from the Company or any other
funds or assets of the Company, nor shall it be entitled to receive or to be
paid by the Company any further payments of fees (including fees which have been
earned but are unpaid) or to be repaid any outstanding advances or loans made by
it to the Company or to be paid any amount for its former Interest. From and
after the effective date of such Withdrawal, the former rights of the
Withdrawing Managing Member to receive or to be paid such allocations,
Distributions, funds, assets, fees or repayments shall be assigned to the other
Managing Member or Managing Members (which may include the Special Member), or
if there is no other Managing Member of the Company at that time, to the Special
Member.
(b) In the event of an Involuntary Withdrawal, except as provided in
Section 13.3(b)(3) below, the Withdrawing Managing Member shall have no further
right to receive any future allocations or Distributions from the Company or any
other funds or assets of the Company, provided that accrued and payable fees
(i.e., fees earned but unpaid as of the date of Withdrawal) owed to the
Withdrawing Managing Member, and any outstanding loans of the Withdrawing
Managing Member to the Company, shall be paid to the Withdrawing Managing Member
in the manner and at the times such fees and loans would have been paid had the
Withdrawing Managing Member not Withdrawn. The Interest of the Managing Member
shall be purchased as follows:
45
(1) If the Involuntary Withdrawal arises from removal for
cause as set forth in Section 13.2(a) hereof, the Withdrawn Managing Member
shall be entitled to receive as its sole compensation for its Interest in the
Company an amount equal to its positive Capital Account balance determined as of
the effective date of the removal, if any, payable upon the dissolution and
termination of the Company after all of the Members have been distributed the
positive balances in their Capital Accounts.
(2) If the Involuntary Withdrawal does not arise from removal
for cause under Section 13.2(a) hereof, and if the Company is to be continued
with one or more remaining or successor Managing Member(s), the Company, with
the Consent of the Special Member, may, but is not obligated to, purchase the
Interest of the Withdrawing Managing Member in Company allocations,
Distributions and capital. The purchase price of such Interest shall be its Fair
Market Value as determined by agreement between the Withdrawing Managing Member
and the Special Member, or, if they cannot agree, by arbitration in accordance
with the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association. The cost of
such arbitration shall be borne equally by the Withdrawing Managing Member and
the Company. The purchase price shall be paid by the Company by delivering to
the Managing Member or its representative the Company's non-interest bearing
unsecured promissory note payable, if at all, upon liquidation of the Company in
accordance with Section 11.2(b). The note shall also provide that the Company
may prepay all or any part thereof without penalty.
(3) If the Involuntary Withdrawal does not arise from removal
for cause under Section 13.2(a) hereof, and if the Company is to be continued
with one or more remaining or successor Managing Member(s), and if the Company
does not purchase the Interest of the Withdrawing Managing Member in Company
allocations, Distributions and capital, then the Withdrawing Managing Member
shall retain its Interest in such items, but such Interest shall be held as a
Special Member.
Section 13.4 Successor Managing Member. Upon the occurrence of an event
giving rise to a Withdrawal of a Managing Member, any remaining Managing Member,
or, if there be no remaining Managing Member, the Withdrawing Managing Member or
its legal representative, shall promptly notify the Special Member of such
Withdrawal (the "Withdrawal Notice"). Whether or not the Withdrawal Notice shall
have been sent as provided herein, the Special Member shall have the right to
become a successor Managing Member (and to become the successor Managing Member
if the Withdrawing Managing Member was previously the Managing Member). In order
to effectuate the provisions of this Section 13.4 and the continuance of the
Company, the Withdrawal of a Managing Member shall not be effective until the
expiration of 120 days from the date on which occurred the event giving rise to
the Withdrawal, unless the Special Member shall have elected to become a
successor Managing Member as provided herein prior to expiration of such 120-day
period, whereupon the Withdrawal of the Managing Member shall be deemed
effective upon the notification of all the other Members by the Special Member
of such election.
Section 13.5 Admission of Additional or Successor Managing Member. No
Person shall be admitted as an additional or successor Managing Member unless
(a) such Person shall have agreed to become a Managing Member by a written
instrument which shall include the acceptance and adoption of this Agreement;
(b) the Consent of the Special Member to the admission of such Person as a
46
substitute Managing Member, which consent may be withheld in the discretion of
the Special Member, shall have been given; and (c) such Person shall have
executed and acknowledged any other instruments which the Special Member shall
reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to affect the admission of such Person
as a substitute Managing Member. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied, this
Agreement shall be amended in accordance with the provisions of the Act, and all
other steps shall be taken which are reasonably necessary to effect the
Withdrawal of the Withdrawing Managing Member and the substitution of the
successor Managing Member. Nothing contained herein shall reduce the Investor
Member's Interest or the Special Member's Interest in the Company.
Section 13.6 Transfer of Interest. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the Managing Member may not Withdraw from the Company, or enter into any
agreement as the result of which any Person shall become interested in the
Company, without the Consent of the Special Member.
Section 13.7 No Goodwill Value. At no time during continuation of the
Company shall any value ever be placed on the Company name, or the right to its
use, or to the goodwill appertaining to the Company or its business, either as
among the Members or for the purpose of determining the value of any Interest,
nor shall the legal representatives of any Member have any right to claim any
such value. In the event of a termination and dissolution of the Company as
provided in this Agreement, neither the Company name, nor the right to its use,
nor the same goodwill, if any, shall be considered as an asset of the Company,
and no valuation shall be put thereon for the purpose of liquidation or
distribution, or for any other purpose whatsoever.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Company
terminate prior to the expiration of its term if such termination would result
in a violation of the Mortgage Note or any other agreement with or rule or
regulation of the Mortgage lender, to which the Company is subject.
Section 15.2 Return of Capital Contribution upon Dissolution. Except as
provided in Sections 7.3 and 7.6 of this Agreement, which provide for a
reduction or refund of the Investor Member's Capital Contribution under certain
circumstances, and which shall represent the personal obligation of the Managing
Member, as well as the obligation of the Company, each holder of a Company
interest shall look solely to the assets of the Company for all Distributions
with respect to the Company (including the return of its Capital Contribution)
and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against the
Managing Member or any Investor Member. No Member shall have any right to demand
or receive property other than money upon dissolution and termination of the
Company.
Section 15.3 Distributions of Assets. Upon a dissolution of the
Company, the Managing Member (or, if there is no Managing Member then remaining,
such other Person(s) designated as the liquidator of the Company by the Investor
Member or by the court in a judicial dissolution) shall take full account of the
Company assets and liabilities and shall liquidate the assets as promptly as is
consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof.
(a) Upon dissolution and termination, after payment of, or adequate
provision for, the debts and obligations of the Company pursuant to Section
11.2(a) through and including 11.2(d), the remaining assets of the Company (or
the proceeds of sales or other dispositions in liquidation of the Company
52
assets, as may be determined by the Managing Member or other liquidator) shall
be distributed to the Members in accordance with the positive balances in their
Capital Accounts. In order to make a final determination of the Capital Account
of each Member:
(1)the allocations pursuant to Section 11.2(e),
Section 11.2(f) and Section 11.2(g) shall be made, but not distributed; and
(2) the Income and Losses of the Company upon Liquidation or
dissolution and winding up shall then be allocated among the Members as set
forth in Section 10.2.
(b) In the event that a Managing Member has a deficit balance in its
Capital Account following the Liquidation of the Company or its interest, as
determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the
Company taxable year in which such Liquidation occurs, such Managing Member
shall pay to the Company the amount necessary to restore such deficit balance to
zero in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3). The
deficit reduction amount shall be paid by the Managing Member by the end of such
taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of Liquidation) and
shall, upon Liquidation of the Company, be paid to creditors of the Company or
distributed to other Members in accordance with their positive Capital Account

Managing Member.
(c) With respect to assets distributed in kind to the Members in
Liquidation or otherwise:
(1) unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation in the
values of such assets shall be deemed to be Income and Losses realized by the
Company immediately prior to the Liquidation or other Distribution event; and
(2) such Income and Losses shall be allocated to the Members
in accordance with Section 10.2 hereof, and any property so distributed shall be
treated as a Distribution of an amount in cash equal to the excess of such Fair
Market Value over the outstanding principal balance of and accrued interest on
any debt by which the property is encumbered.
(d) For the purposes of Section 15.3(c), "unrealized appreciation" or
"unrealized depreciation" shall mean the difference between the Fair Market
Value of such assets, taking into account the Fair Market Value of the
associated financing but subject to Section 7701(g) of the Code, and the
Company's adjusted basis in such assets for book purposes. Section 15.3(c) is
merely intended to provide a rule for allocating unrealized Income and Losses
upon Liquidation or other Distribution event, and nothing contained in Section
15.3(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement is intended to treat or cause such
Distributions to be treated as sales for value. The Fair Market Value of such
assets shall be determined by an independent appraiser to be selected by the
Managing Member.
Section 15.4 Deferral of Liquidation. If at the time of Liquidation the
Managing Member or other liquidator shall determine that an immediate sale of
part or all of the Company assets could cause undue loss to the Members, the
liquidator may, in order to avoid loss, either defer Liquidation and retain all
53
or a portion of the assets or distribute all or a portion of the assets to the
Members in kind. In the event that the liquidator elects to distribute such
assets in kind, the assets shall first be assigned a value (by appraisal by an
independent appraiser) and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation in value
of the assets shall be allocated to the Members, Capital Accounts, as if such
assets had been sold, in the matter described in Section 10.2, and such assets
shall then be distributed to the Members as provided herein. In applying the
preceding sentence, the Project shall not be assigned a value less than the
unamortized principal balance of any loan secured thereby.
Section 15.5 Liquidation Statement. Each of the Members shall be
furnished with a statement prepared or caused to be prepared by the Managing
Member or other liquidator, which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of
the Company as of the date of complete Liquidation. Upon compliance with the
distribution plan as outlined in Sections 15.3 and 15.4, the Investor Member
shall cease to be such and the Managing Member shall execute, acknowledge and
cause to be filed those certificates referenced in Section 15.6.
Section 15.6 Articles of Dissolution. Upon the dissolution and
commencement of the winding up of the Company, the Members shall cause Articles
of Dissolution to be executed on behalf of the Company and filed with the
Corporation Commission of the State of Arizona, and the Members shall execute,
acknowledge and file any and all other instruments necessary or appropriate to
reflect the dissolution of the Company.
ARTICLE XVI

Managing Member(s) has been duly and validly authorized by or on behalf of the
Managing Member(s) and, having been executed and delivered in accordance with
its terms, the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement constitutes the valid
and binding agreement of the Managing Member(s), enforceable in accordance with
its terms.
(e) The execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated Operating
Agreement by the Managing Members does not conflict with and will not result in
a breach of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of any agreement or
instrument known to counsel to which any of the Managing Members or the Company
is a party or by which any of them may be bound, or any order, rule, or
regulation to be applicable to any of such parties of any court or governmental
body or administrative agency having jurisdiction over any of such parties or
over the property.
(f) To the best of counsel's knowledge, after due inquiry, there is no
litigation or governmental proceeding pending or threatened against, or
involving the Project, the Company or any Managing Member which would materially
B-2
adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of the
Project, the Company or any of the Members of the Company prior to or following
execution and filing of the Operating Agreement, or the Investor Member.
(g) Upon the execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated
Operating Agreement providing for the admission of the Investor Member as
substitute Investor Member [and the filing] the Investor Member will be the
non-managing Members of the Company entitled to all of the rights of
non-managing members under the Operating Agreement. Except as described in the

the Company has obtained all consents, permissions, licenses, approvals, or
orders required by all applicable governmental or regulatory agencies for the
development, construction and operation of the Project, and the Project conforms
to all applicable Federal, state and local land use, zoning, health, building
and safety laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.
(l) The Project has obtained a preliminary reservation of low income
housing tax credits ("LIHTC") from the State Agency. The final allocation of the
LIHTC and ultimately eligibility of the Project for such final allocation are
subject to a series of requirements which must be met, performed or achieved at
various times prior to and after such final allocation. Assuming all such
requirements are met, performed or achieved at the time or times provided by
applicable laws and regulations, the Project will qualify for LIHTC.
All of the opinions set forth above are qualified to the extent that the
validity of any provision of any agreement may be subject to or affected by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally. We do not express any opinion as to
the availability of any equitable or specific remedy upon any breach of any of
the covenants, warranties or other provisions contained in any agreement. We

ANNUAL CERTIFICATION
As General Partner of Spring Valley Terrace Apartments, LLC, I hereby
certify as to the following:
1. Spring Valley Terrace Apartments, LLC owns a h8 unit project ("Project")
in p16.
2. An annual income certification (including supporting documentation) has
been received from each tenant. The income certification reflects that the
tenant's income meets the income limitation applicable to the Project pursuant
to Section 42(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code").
3. The Project satisfies the requirements of the applicable minimum set
aside test as defined in Section 42(g)(1) of the Code.
4. Each unit within the Project is rent restricted as defined in Section
42(g)(2)of the Code.
5. Each unit in the Project is available for use by the general public and
not for use on a transient basis.
6. Each building in the Project is suitable for occupancy in accordance
with local health, safety, and building codes.
7. During the preceding calendar year, there had been no change in the
eligible basis, as defined in Section 42(d)of the Code, of any building within
the Project.
8. All common area facilities included in the eligible basis of the
Apartment Complex are provided to the tenants on a comparable basis without a
separate fee to any tenant in the Project.
9. During the preceding calendar year when a unit in the Project became
vacant reasonable attempts were made to rent that unit to tenants whose incomes
met the income limitation applicable to the Project pursuant to Section 42(g)(1)
of the Code and while that unit was vacant no units of comparable or smaller
size were rented to tenants whose income did not meet the income limitation
applicable to the Project pursuant to Section 42(g)(1) of the Code.
10. If the income of a tenant in a unit increased above the limit allowed
in Section 42 (g)(2)(D)(ii), then the next available unit of comparable or
smaller size was rented to tenants whose incomes met the income limitation
applicable to the Project pursuant to Section 42(g)(1) of the Code.
IN VERIFICATION OF THE FOREGOING ENCLOSED HEREWITH IS A COPY OF THE ANNUAL
INCOME CERTIFICATION RECEIVED FROM EACH TENANT IN THE PROJECT. UPON REQUEST I
