CONTRACT TO PURCHASE
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of
October 1, 2004 by and among BAYFIELD LOW INCOME HOUSING
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership
(“Seller”) having an office c/o Megan Asset Management,
Inc., 1424 W. Century Avenue, Suite 102, Bismarck, ND 58503,
MPF BAYFIELD ACQUISITION, LLC, a California limited
liability company (“Buyer”) having an office c/o
Mackenzie Patterson Fuller, Inc., 1640 School Street, Moraga, CA
94556 and MACKENZIE PATTERSON FULLER, INC., a California
corporation having an office at 1640 School Street, Moraga, CA
94556 (“Guarantor”).
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
1
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
2
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.
(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
3
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.
4
(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

Section 5 . CODE SECTION 754
ELECTIONS.
To the best of
Seller’s knowledge and as confirmed by Seller’s Tax
Counsel Opinion (defined below), the general partners of the
Partnerships listed on Exhibit K attached hereto, for
and on behalf of such Partnerships, have each filed a 2000
partnership tax return (Form 1065) which included a form
entitled ELECTION TO ADJUST BASIS OF PROPERTY
(“Election”) which was filed in connection with a
proposed transaction which did not take place. While the
transaction did not take place in 2000, to the best of
Seller’s knowledge the Elections can be used for the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Those Partnerships
listed on Exhibit L attached hereto have
previously filed an Election in the year indicated on
Exhibit L.

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.
11
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.
(a)
Closing Location. All closings under this Agreement or
the options shall take place via the exchange of overnight

(b)

effect the First Closing, and any closing under the Short Option or
the First Option, are subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) prior
to such closing of the following conditions:
(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.

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

(b)
Buyer’s Indemnification. Subject to other
subsections of this Section 14 and Section 1(d), Buyer will
indemnify and hold Seller 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 Buyer contained in this Agreement;
(ii) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, audits,

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.
