RECITALS

     Seller is the sole limited partner of eighty-one (81) limited partnerships listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (“Partnerships”). Each of the Partnerships is the owner of the respective apartment project for low to moderate income families as set forth on Exhibit A (“Apartment Projects”). The limited partnership interests of the Partnerships (“Partnership Interests”) are unencumbered except for the obligations outlined in that certain JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OF 52 DEBTORS DATED MAY 9, 1990, approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court of the Eastern District of New York as such plan has been modified by the Confirmation Order relating thereto and as subsequently amended (“Plan”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Partnership Agreement (as defined herein) or in the Plan.

     Seller desires to sell, and Buyer desires to purchase, up to forty-nine and one-half percent (49.5%) of the Partnership Interests in each Partnership, and Seller wishes to grant, and Buyer wishes to obtain, options to purchase the remaining Partnership Interests when such purchase and sale would not cause termination of the Partnerships. Upon the transfer of such interests to Buyer, Buyer will assume the rights and duties of Seller in the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership of each of the Partnerships, as amended (“Partnership Agreement”), but only to the extent provided in this Agreement.

     Guarantor, an affiliate of Buyer, has executed this Agreement and will execute the Guaranty (as hereinafter defined) for purposes of unconditionally guaranteeing Buyer’s obligations hereunder and under the Secured Promissory Notes (as hereinafter defined) to be delivered by Buyer in partial satisfaction of its payment obligations hereunder. To secure the Secured Promissory Notes Buyer will grant to Seller a security interest in the Partnership Interests.

     In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

      Section 1 . PURCHASE OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND OPTIONS.

      (a)  Purchase and Sale. Seller shall sell, and Buyer shall purchase, the right, title and interest of Seller in fifty percent of the Partnership Interests owned by Seller as set forth on

/s/ PJM

Exhibit A, Column Q, except that Buyer shall purchase only 33.0% of the Partnership Interests of Seller in the 2005 Partnerships as listed on Exhibit A-1 , and Seller shall grant, and Buyer shall purchase, the Short Option and the First Option as provided in Section 2 (b) hereof. Such purchase and sale of Partnership Interests and grant and purchase of options shall be effective on October 1, 2004 (“Effective Date”).

      (b)  Purchase Price. The price for the purchase of the Partnership Interests and options as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 1 is:

           (i) Cash Consideration: ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED TWELVE DOLLARS ($1,524,912), payable as follows:

     $331,000 at the First Closing, payable in cash;

     $210,000 on April 15, 2005;

     $238,000 on June 15, 2005

     $425,000 on December 15, 2005; and

     $320,912 on June 15, 2006 (collectively, “Cash Consideration”); and

      (ii) Assumption of Seller’s 8% Interest Obligation: Buyer’s assumption of Seller’s obligation to pay the respective percentages set forth on Exhibit_A of the 8% interest payable pursuant to Article 15(l)(a)(ii) of the Plan as a first priority from the proceeds of any Capital Event (“8% Interest Obligation”); and

      (iii) Assumption of Seller’s Obligations as Limited Partner: Buyer’s assumption of the respective percentages set Forth on Exhibit A of the obligations of Seller as Limited Partner under each of the Partnership Agreements that arise from on and after the date of the First Closing (“LP Obligations”).

The Cash Consideration, 8% Interest Obligation and LP Obligations shall constitute and be defined herein as the “Purchase Price”. All payments of Cash Consideration shall be paid in United States Dollars by electronic funds transfer or cashier’s check payable to the order of Seller.

      (c)  Secured Promissory Notes. All Cash Consideration not to be paid at the First Closing shall be evidenced by a separate, non-negotiable secured promissory notes of Buyer payable to the order of Seller in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (“First Closing Note”). To secure Buyer’s performance under the First Closing Note and under any other notes that may be delivered by Buyer under this Agreement or upon exercise of the First Option, if exercised, (collectively, the “Secured Promissory Notes”), Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Seller a guaranty in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (“Guaranty”), and Buyer shall execute and deliver to Seller a security agreement in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (“Security

Agreement”). Seller may assign the Secured Promissory Notes to an affiliate of Seller in satisfaction of sums, if any, due it from Seller.

      (d)  Contingent Cash Consideration Adjustment . If and to the extent that the annual depreciation expense of the Partnerships during tax year 2006 is not at least 95% or exceeds 105% of the anticipated annual depreciation expense of the Partnerships for 2006 as reflected on Exhibit A, the total consideration to be paid under the Cash Consideration and the Options, including commissions ( i.e ., $3,603,449), will be reduced or increased, as applicable, by a percentage equal to the percentage difference between the anticipated annual depreciation expense and the actual annual depreciation expense. The adjustment will be made, if applicable, by reducing (or increasing) the principal balance of the Secured Promissory Notes securing the remaining payments due under the First Option Exercise Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no adjustment with respect to any Partnership Interest sold or disposed of by Buyer prior to the end of 2006 because Buyer should have received the full anticipated economic benefit from such Partnership Interest. For example, the anticipated annual depreciation expense on Exhibit A for 2006 is $3,034,168 and if the actual annual depreciation expense for 2006 were $2,730,751 ( i.e ., 10% less), then the next payment under the First Option. Exercise Price would be reduced by $360,344 (i.e., 10% of $3,603,449), so that the next payment would be $589,656 rather than $950,000. If the adjustment were to exceed $950,000, then the $200,000 payment due June 15, 2008 would be adjusted as well.

      Section 2 . OPTIONS .

      (a)  Option to Avoid Technical Termination . To avoid a transfer of more than thirty-three percent (33.0%) of the Partnership Interests in any 2005 Partnership (as defined on Exhibit A-1 ) or a technical termination of any of the Partnerships, the parties agree that if the aggregate Partnership Interests being transferred hereunder exceed thirty-three percent (33.0%) of the Partnership Interests of any 2005 Partnership or forty-nine and one-helf percent (49.5%) of the Partnership Interests in any other Partnership listed on Exhibit A, or would cause such a technical termination, the affected Partnership Interests being sold and the allocable purchase price for such Partnership Interests will be reduced accordingly by the excess amount, and Buyer shall be granted an option to purchase such excess amount at a pro-rata price. Such option shall not be exercisable until one year and one day has elapsed from the date of the applicable closing and if exercised, shall be closed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement at that future date.

      (b)  Options to Purchase Remaining Partnership Interests . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the First Closing Seller hereby grants Buyer (i) an option to purchase an additional sixteen and one-half percent (16.5%) of the Partnership Interests in the 2005 Partnerships (respectively, the “Short Option” and the “Short Option Partnership Interests”) and (ii) an option to purchase the balance of the Partnership Interests, subject to the receipt of the Required Consents as provided in Section 8 hereof, not purchased at the First Closing or pursuant to the Short Option (the “First Option” and the “First Option Partnership Interests”). The consideration for both of such options will be $1,000 per Partnership or a total of $81,000 (the “Option Price”), which Option Price is included in the Purchase Price. The Short Option is exercisable no earlier than January 1, 2005 and no later than January 15, 2005. The First Option is exercisable no earlier than December 1, 2005 and no later than December 30, 2005. Each of

the Short Option and the First Option shall be exercised by Buyer’s written notice sent or delivered to Seller indicating Buyer’s desire to exercise the applicable option and the date on which the closing of the exercise of the applicable option will take place, provided, however, that if Buyer exercises the Short Option, Buyer shall specify a closing date for the Partnership Interests subject to the Short Option that is no later than January 30, 2005 (the “Short Option Closing Date”), and if Buyer exercises the First Option, Buyer shall specify a closing date for the Partnership Interests subject to the First Option that is no later than January 31, 2006 (the “First Option Closing Date”). So long as Seller is diligently pursuing all Required Consents necessary to proceed with the First Option Closing Date, Seller may delay the First Option Closing Date for a reasonable period of time to obtain all Required Consents (with the reasonableness of the delay measured in light of the complexities associated with obtaining the Required Consents). If Seller fails to obtain all Required Consents within such time, then either Buyer or Seller may await Seller’s receipt of the Required Consents or elect to exercise the exchange option described in Section 2(f) of this Agreement. Unless exercised and closed in accordance with the terms hereof, the Short Option shall expire and become void and of no force and effect. Unless both the Short Option and the First Option are exercised and closed in accordance with the terms hereof, or if Buyer has defaulted under any Secured Promissory Note, the First Option shall expire and become void and of no force and effect.

      (c)  Short Option Exercise Price . At the Short Option Closing or by January 15, 2005, Buyer shall pay Seller in United States Dollars by electronic funds transfer or cashier’s check payable to the order of Seller the sum of THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED NINETY-FOUR ($34,494) DOLLARS (“Short Option Cash Consideration”), plus assume from Seller an additional 16.5% of (i) Seller’s LP Obligations to the extent they relate to the 2005 Partnerships; and (ii) the balance then due by Seller on the 8% Interest Obligation to the extent that such obligations relate to the 2005 Partnerships. The Buyer’s payment of the Short Option Cash Consideration and the 8% Interest Obligation and Buyer’s performance of the LP Obligations as set forth in this paragraph (c) also shall be guaranteed by a Guaranty of Guarantor.

      (d)  First Option Exercise Price . Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at the First Option Closing, a new Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,740,594, payable $200,000 on April 15, 2006, $390,594 on June 15, 2006, $950,000 on June 15, 2007 and $200,000 on June 15, 2008, and shall assume from Seller (i) Seller’s then remaining LP Obligations; and (ii) the remaining 8% Interest Obligation. Except for the principal amount and maturity dates described in the foregoing sentence, the new Secured Promissory Note delivered by Buyer at the First Option Closing shall be in substantially the same form as the First Closing Note ( i.e., Exhibit B ) and guaranteed by a Guaranty of Guarantor. The Buyer’s performance of the LP Obligations and the Buyer’s payment of the 8% Interest Obligation as set forth in this paragraph (d) also shall be guaranteed by a Guaranty of Guarantor.

      (e)  Expiration of Options . The Short Option shall expire and become null and void and of no force and effect unless exercised on or before January 15, 2005. The First Option shall expire and become null and void and of no force and effect (i) if the Buyer fails to exercise and close the Short Option pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) if the First Option is not exercised on or before December 30, 2005.

      (f)  Exchange of Partnership Interests. If (i) Seller is unable to obtain the Required Consents as provided in Section 2(b) or Section 8 hereof, or (ii) Buyer fails to exercise either the Short Option or the First Option prior to their expiration or if Buyer has defaulted on any Secured Promissory Note, then in either case, either Buyer or Seller may, in their sole discretion, elect by written notice to the other party to cause an exchange of Buyer’s Relinquished Partnership Interests for Buyer’s Replacement Partnership Interests. Buyer’s “Relinquished Partnership Interests” are all of the Partnership Interests acquired by Buyer at the First Closing and/or the Short Option Closing in the Partnerships that Buyer relinquishes together with the related 8% Interest Obligation and LP Obligations. Buyer’s “Replacement Partnership Interests” are all Partnership Interests owned by Seller in the Partnerships other than the Partnerships that Buyer relinquishes together with the related 8% Interest Obligation and LP Obligations. The Partnerships that Buyer relinquishes must either be the Partnerships numbered “Apartment Complex Number” 3 through 70 and 78 (or the those numbered 79 through 135 and 137 on the attached Exhibit A . If either Buyer or Seller elects to trigger this exchange, the exchange of the Relinquished Partnership Interests for the Replacement Partnership Interests shall close within thirty (30) days after delivery of the written notice from Buyer or Seller that prompted the exchange. If neither Buyer nor Seller elects to trigger an exchange, Seller shall continue for a reasonable period of time to exercise diligent efforts to obtain the Required Consents in order to facilitate the closing of the transactions prompted by Buyer’s exercise of the First Option.

      (g)  Repurchase of Partnership Interests. Seller (or its affiliate or general partner) agrees that it will repurchase any Partnership Interests from Buyer, except that Seller (or its affiliate or general partner) will not assume Buyer’s obligations with respect to such Partnership Interests assumed by the Buyer under this Agreement or accruing after the date hereof, at Buyer’s option for ONE DOLLAR ($1.00) per Partnership Interest should such Partnership experience an event that would cause a minimum gain chargeback with respect to such Partnership (such as the payoff of or default under the Partnership’s indebtedness) such that Buyer will not be able to match such income allocations with applicable losses from the sale of such Partnership Interests. Seller will purchase such Partnership Interests identified by Buyer within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice from Buyer if Buyer’s exercise of this option.

     The provisions of the repurchase under this Section 2(g) will not apply at Seller’s election if the Buyer (i) consents, authorizes, or otherwise affirmatively permits such Partnership or its General Partner (A) to sell, refinance, exchange or otherwise convey or transfer its real estate or its Apartment Project, (B) to liquidate such Partnership, (C) to amend any of the terms or provisions of the Partnership Agreement or to change its General Partner(s), or (D) to take any other actions listed under Limitations on Powers of the General Partner(s) listed in each of the Partnership Agreements without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Seller, (ii) waives any of its rights under the Partnership Agreement, or (iii) enters into an agreement or otherwise allows such Partnership Interest to be liquidated. In the event of a repurchase, the Buyer will provide Seller with copies of the Partnership tax returns that are not in the Seller’s possession.

      (h)  Repurchase of Missouri Partnership Interests . Seller agrees that it will repurchase from Buyer any of the four Missouri Operating Partnership Interests listed on Exhibit E hereto if their mortgages are foreclosed upon by RD, and will assume Buyer’s obligations with respect to such Partnership Interests assumed by the Buyer under this Agreement but not those accruing after the date hereof and prior to the repurchase, at Buyer’s option for the portion of the

     As additional consideration for payment of the Purchase Price paid by Buyer, Seller shall allocate to Buyer at the First Closing (i) thirty-three percent (33.0%) of the allocations to Seller in each 2005 Partnership for all items of income, gain, loss, deductions and credits (“Tax Items”) for the fourth quarter of calendar year 2004 and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the allocations to Seller in all other Partnerships for all Tax Items, except for income and non-recourse liabilities, for the fourth quarter of calendar year 2004. In addition, the income and the allocation of the non-recourse liabilities as of December 31, 2004 of each Partnership will be allocated in proportion to the percentage ownership of such Partnership as listed on Exhibit A.

      Section 7 . ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENTS.

     For each Partnership Interest sold by Seller and purchased by Buyer, at each closing hereunder, Seller and Buyer shall individually execute an assignment and assumption agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (“Assignment and Assumption Agreement”). If Seller is unable to obtain the consent of the general partner of any Partnership to the assignment of the Partnership Interests of such Partnership to Buyer and to the admission of Buyer as a Limited Partner within sixty (60) days after the First Closing, Seller will deliver to Buyer a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to Buyer that addresses each Partnership Interest that is assigned without Buyer’s admission, as a Limited Partner (“Unapproved Assigned Operating Partnership Interests”) and that states that Buyer, as an assignee of the Partnership Interests from Seller, will be treated as the beneficial owner of the Unapproved Assigned Operating Partnership Interests for federal income tax purposes and will be entitled to claim on the Buyer’s federal income tax return the portion of each item of partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, credit, and all other partnership items that is at least equal to the stated percentage of the Unapproved Assigned Operating Partnership Interest transferred to Buyer hereby (the “Seller’s Tax Counsel Opinion”).

      Section 8. REQUIRED CONSENTS.

      (a)  Consents to Transfer. Buyer acknowledges and understands that the transfer of the First Option Partnership Interests pursuant to the First Option, if exercised by Buyer, will require the consents of a majority in interest of the Bayfield Limited Partners (herein collectively the “Required Consents”) pursuant to a solicitation in accordance with and pursuant to applicable statutes and regulations governing such a solicitation (“Solicitation”). Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain all of the Required Consents by preparing a Solicitation seeking the consents of a majority in interest of the Bayfield Limited Partners, as soon as reasonably practical after the receipt by Seller of Buyer’s notice of exercise of the First Option.

      (b)  Exchange of Partnership Interests. If Seller is unable to obtain the Required Consents such that the First Option cannot be closed within a reasonable time after the exercise of the First Option, then either Buyer or Seller may exercise its option to cause Buyer to exchange certain Partnership Interests for other Partnership Interests, as described in Section 2(f) of this Agreement.

      Section 9 . INVESTMENT INTENT.

     Buyer recognizes that the Partnership Interests being acquired by Buyer hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) or any other securities law. Buyer acknowledges that it has been given an opportunity to conduct due diligence and ask questions with respect to the Partnerships and the Partnership Interests, and that Buyer has received responses satisfactory to it. Such due diligence shall not in any way diminish or mitigate the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement, except to the extent that Buyer has actual knowledge of the falsity of a representation or warranty. Buyer is acquiring the Partnership Interests for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Act or any other securities law. Buyer is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in rule 501 of the Act.

      Section 10 . CLOSINGS.

      (a)  Closing Location. All closings under this Agreement or the options shall take place via the exchange of overnight deliveries, with original Partnership certificates, if applicable, exchanged through the office of Seller’s attorneys, Zuger, Kirmis & Smith, 316 N. Fifth St., Bismarck, ND 58501.

           (i) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Seller, Buyer and Guarantor contained herein shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such closing, as if made as of such closing (except that representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date need be true in all material respects only as of such date).

           (ii) Covenants. All covenants and agreements of the parties to be performed on or prior to such closing shall have been duly performed in all material respects.

           (iii) Corrective Action. If at any time after the date hereof and prior to the any closing hereunder, Buyer discovers any facts which materially render incomplete or inaccurate any of the Seller’s warranties or representations, then (A) Buyer will promptly provide Seller with a written disclosure thereof, (B) Seller shall have thirty (30) days in which to correct such deficiencies and (C) such closing shall be postponed for such thirty (30) day period.

      (c)  Closing Information and Consents. Buyer will provide the items and information that are in its control and that are required of the transferor by Article XIII — Transfer Of A Limited Partner’s Interest — of each Partnership Agreement and otherwise use its commercially reasonable best efforts to assist Seller in obtaining the Required Consents described in Section 8 of this Agreement, and the consent of the general partners of the Partnerships in which Buyer is acquiring Partnership Interests.

Buyer shall keep all Confidential Partnership Information strictly confidential until the First Closing or for two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, whichever first occurs. If the First Closing fails to take place or if this Agreement is terminated all Confidential Partnership Information and all copies thereof shall be promptly returned to Seller or destroyed, and Buyer shall promptly provide to Seller an affidavit under oath reasonably acceptable to Seller that such action has been taken Information shall not be deemed Confidential Partnership Information if (a) rightfully in the public domain other than by a breach of this Agreement; (b) rightfully received from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality; (c) rightfully known to Buyer without any limitation on use or disclosure prior to its receipt from Seller; or (d) independently developed by employees of Buyer.

      Section 14 . INDEMNIFICATION.

      (a)  Seller’s Indemnification. Subject to other subsections of this Section 14 and Section 1 (d), Seller will indemnify and hold Buyer harmless against any and in respect of any and all liability, damage, loss, cost, and expenses arising out of or otherwise in respect of: (i) any material misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or non-fulfillment of any agreement or covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement; (ii) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, audits, judgments, reasonable costs, and reasonable legal and other expenses incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 14; (iii) Seller’s ownership or exercise of rights under the Partnership Interests at any time prior to the sale of such Partnership Interests to Buyer other than the 8% (Interest Obligation; and (iv) any obligations under Partnership Contracts that have not been assumed by Buyer.

      (c)  Indemnification Process. Promptly after the receipt by any party of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding, such party will, if a claim with respect thereto is to be made against any party obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to this Section 14, give such Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding. Such Indemnifying Party will have the right, at its option, to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its counsel, any matter involving the asserted liability of the party seeking such indemnification. Such notice, and opportunity to defend, will be a condition precedent to any liability of the Indemnifying Party under the indemnification agreements contained in this Section 14. If any Indemnifying Party undertakes to compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it will promptly notify the party seeking indemnification of its intention to do so, and the party seeking indemnification agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defends against any such asserted liability. In any event, the indemnified party will have the right at its own expense to participate in the defense of such asserted liability. In no event shall either party’s liability to the other party under this Agreement, whether fashioned as a direct claim for damages or a claim for indemnity under this Section 14, exceed (i) in the aggregate, the amount of the Cash Consideration and (ii) with respect to all claims relating to a particular Partnership, the amount of Cash Consideration allocated to such Partnership in Exhibit A. The indemnified party will also, to the extent that the indemnified party owes any obligations to the indemnifying party, have the right to withhold from the indemnifying party the indemnified party’s reasonable estimate of the amount of any damages for which the indemnifying party would be liable under this Section 14 as a result of such claim by a third-party unaffiliated with the indemnified party. The amount of such withholding shall be deposited with an independent escrow agent reasonably acceptable to both parties.
