financial statements required by
Section 14.2 for the year the Apartment Housing is
placed-in-service;
(7) the Special Limited Partner's approval of the initial tenant
file; and
(8) any documents
previously not provided to the Limited Partner
but
required
pursuant to this Section 7.2 and Sections
14.3(a) and (b).
(f) The initial tenant files will be reviewed at the Limited
Partner's
expense by an independent third-party. In
the event that the independent
third-party and the Special Limited Partner
recommend corrections to an initial
tenant file, the General Partner will cause
the Management Agent to correct the
tenant file and provide the corrected
tenant file to the Limited Partner. The
Limited Partner may withhold all or any
portion of a Capital Contribution
payment until it has received all the
initial tenant files and the same have

Section 7.3 Repurchase
of Limited Partner's and Special Limited
Partner's Interest.
Within 60 days after the General Partner
receives written demand from the
Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited
Partner, the Partnership shall
repurchase the Limited Partner's Interest
and/or the Special Limited Partner's
Interest in the Partnership by refunding to
it in cash the full amount of the
Capital Contribution which the Limited

of
the Code, from the State Tax Credit Agency
on or before the due date.
Section 7.4 Adjustment
of Capital Contributions.
(a) The amounts of the Limited Partner's and the Special
Limited
Partner's Capital Contributions were
determined in part upon the amount of Tax
Credits that were expected to be available
to the Partnership at a cost of
78.00% for each dollar of Tax Credit
received, and were based on the assumption
that the Partnership would be eligible to
claim, in the aggregate, the Projected
Tax Credits. If the anticipated amount of
Projected Tax Credits to be allocated
to the Limited Partner and Special Limited
Partner as evidenced by IRS Form
8609, Schedule A thereto, or by the tax
certification required in accordance
with Section 7.2, provided to the Limited
Partner and Special Limited Partner
are less than 99.99% of $940,545 then the
new Projected Tax Credit amount, if
applicable, shall be referred to as the
"Revised Projected Tax Credits." The
Limited Partner's and Special Limited
Partner's Capital Contribution provided
for in Section 7.2 shall be equal to 78.00%
times the Projected Tax Credit, or
the Revised Projected Tax Credits, if
applicable, anticipated to be allocated to
the Limited Partner and Special Limited
Partner. If any Capital Contribution
adjustment referenced in this Section
7.4(a) is a reduction which is greater
than the remaining Capital Contribution to
be paid by the Limited Partner, then
the General Partner shall have ninety days
from the date the General Partner
receives notice from either the Limited
Partner or the Special Limited Partner
to pay the shortfall to the Partner whose
Capital Contribution is being
adjusted. The amount paid by the General
Partner pursuant to this Section will
be deemed to be a Capital Contribution by
the General Partner. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the General Partner's Capital
Contribution required to be paid by this
Section shall be disbursed to the
Limited Partner as a return of capital. If
the Capital Contribution adjustment
referenced in this Section 7.4(a) is an
increase then the Partner whose Capital
Contribution is being adjusted shall have
ninety days from the date the Limited
Partner and Special Limited Partner have
received notice from the General
Partner to pay the increase.
(b) The General Partner is required to use its best efforts to
rent
100% of the Apartment Housing's apartment
units to Qualified Tenants throughout
the Compliance Period. If at the end of any
calendar year during the first five
calendar years following the year in which
the Apartment Housing is placed in
service, the Actual Tax Credit for the
applicable fiscal year or portion thereof
is or will be less than the Projected
Annual Tax Credit, or the Projected Annual
Tax Credit as modified by Section 7.4(a) of
this Agreement if applicable (the
"Annual Credit Shortfall"), then the next
Capital Contribution owed by the
Limited Partner shall be reduced by the
Annual Credit Shortfall amount, and any
portion of such Annual Credit Shortfall in
excess of such Capital Contribution
shall be applied to reduce succeeding
Capital Contributions of the Limited
Partner. If the Annual Credit Shortfall is
greater than the Limited Partner's
remaining Capital Contributions then the
General Partner shall pay to the
Limited Partner the excess of the Annual
Credit Shortfall over the remaining
Capital Contributions. The General Partner
shall have sixty days to pay the
23
<PAGE>
Annual Credit Shortfall from the date the
General Partner receives notice from
the Special Limited Partner. The provisions
of this Section 7.4(b) shall apply
equally to the Special Limited Partner in
proportion to its Capital Contribution
and anticipated annual Tax Credit. The
amount paid by the General Partner
pursuant to this Section will be deemed to
be a Capital Contribution by the
General Partner. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the
General Partner's Capital Contribution
required by this Section shall be
disbursed to the Limited Partner as a
return of capital.
(c) The General Partner has represented, in part, that the
Limited
Partner will receive Projected Annual Tax
Credits of $0 in 2005 and $94,045 in
2006. In the event the 2005 or 2006 Actual
Tax Credits are less than projected
then the Limited Partner's Capital
Contribution shall be reduced by an amount
equal to 78.00% times the difference
between the Projected Annual Tax Credits
for 2005 or 2006 and the Actual Tax Credits
for 2005 or 2006. If the 2005 or
2006 Actual Tax Credits are less than
projected then the Special Limited
Partner'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 7.4(c) is greater
than the balance of the Limited Partner's
or Special Limited Partner's Capital
Contribution payment which is then due, if
any, then the excess amount shall be
paid by the General Partner to the Limited
Partner and/or the Special Limited
Partner within sixty days of the General
Partner receiving notice of the
reduction from the Limited Partner and/or
the Special Limited Partner. The
amount paid by the General Partner pursuant
to this Section will be deemed to be
a Capital Contribution by the General
Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the General
Partner's Capital Contribution required
by this Section shall be disbursed to the
Limited Partner as a return of
capital.
(d) The Partners recognize and acknowledge that the Limited Partner
and
the Special Limited Partner are making
their Capital Contribution, in part, on
the expectation that the Projected Tax
Credits are allocated to the Partners
over the Tax Credit Period. If the
Projected Tax Credits are not allocated to
the Partners during the Tax Credit Period
then the Limited Partner's and Special
Limited Partner's Capital Contribution
shall be reduced by an amount agreed upon
by the Partners, in good faith, to provide
the Limited Partner and the Special
Limited Partner with their anticipated
internal rate of return. In calculating
the internal rate of return, the Limited
Partner and Special Limited Partner
acknowledge that the aggregate amount, and
annual flow, of Tax Credits carries
more weight in the calculation than the
increase in losses earned by the
Partnership.
(e) In the event there is: (1) a filing of a tax return by the
Partnership evidencing a reduction in the
qualified basis or eligible basis of
the Apartment Housing causing a recapture
of Tax Credits previously allocated to
the Limited Partner or an adjustment to
Schedule K-1 or a loss of future Tax
Credits; (2) a filing of a tax return by
the Partnership evidencing a
disposition of the Apartment Housing prior
to the expiration of the Compliance
Period causing a recapture of Tax Credits
previously allocated to the Limited
Partner, or an adjustment to Schedule K-1,
or a loss of future Tax Credits; (3)
a reduction in the qualified basis or
eligible basis of the Apartment Housing
for income tax purposes following an
examination or review by the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS"), whether by
settlement, mutual agreement or IRS
decision, resulting in a recapture or
reduction of Tax Credits previously
claimed or an adjustment to Schedule K-1;
(4) a decision by any court or
administrative body upholding an assessment
of deficiency against the
Partnership with respect to any Tax Credit
previously claimed or tax losses
previously claimed, in connection with the
Apartment Housing, unless the
Partnership shall timely appeal such
decision and the collection of such
24
<PAGE>
assessment shall be stayed pending the
disposition of such appeal; or (5) a
decision of a court affirming such decision
upon such appeal then, in addition
to any other payments to which the Limited
Partner and/or the Special Limited
Partner are entitled under the terms of
this Section 7.4, the General Partner
shall pay to the Limited Partner and the
Special Limited Partner within 60 days
of receiving notice from the Limited
Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner
the sum of (A) the amount of the Tax Credit
recapture, (B) the cumulative tax
effect of a decrease in loss allocated to
the Limited Partner and Special
Limited Partner by the Partnership; (C) any
interest and penalties imposed on
the Limited Partner or Special Limited
Partner with respect to such recapture;
(D) the cumulative increase of taxable
income allocated to the Limited Partner
and Special Limited Partner by the
Partnership; (E) an amount equal to the
product of the Tax Credit pricing
percentage referenced in Section 7.4(a) and
future Tax Credits unable to be taken due
to one of the above actions; and (F)
an amount sufficient to pay any tax
liability owed by the Limited Partner or
Special Limited Partner resulting from the
receipt of the amounts specified in
(A), (B), (C) and (D). The amount paid by
the General Partner pursuant to this
Section will be deemed to be a Capital
Contribution by the General Partner.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the General
Partner's Capital Contribution required by
this Section shall be disbursed to
the Limited Partner as a return of
Capital.
(f) The increase in the Capital Contribution of the Limited Partner
and
the Special Limited Partner pursuant to
Section 7.4(a) shall be subject to the
Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner
having funds available to pay any
such increase at the time of its
notification of such increase. For these
purposes, any funds theretofore previously
earmarked by the Limited Partner or
Special Limited Partner to make other
investments, or to be held as required
reserves, shall not be considered available
for payment hereunder.
Section 7.5
Return of Capital Contribution.
From time to time the Partnership may have cash in excess of the
amount
required for the conduct of the affairs of
the Partnership, and the General
Partner may, with the Consent of the
Special Limited Partner, determine that
such cash should, in whole or in part, be
returned to the Partners, pro rata, in
reduction of their Capital Contribution. No
such return shall be made unless all
liabilities of the Partnership (except
those to Partners on account of amounts
credited to them pursuant to this
Agreement) have been paid or there remain
assets of the Partnership sufficient, in
the sole discretion of the General
Partner, to pay such liabilities.
Section 7.6
Liability of Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner.
The Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner shall not be liable
for
any of the debts, liabilities, contracts or
other obligations of the
Partnership. The Limited Partner and
Special Limited Partner shall be liable
only to make Capital Contributions in the
amounts and on the dates specified in
this Agreement and, except as otherwise
expressly required hereunder, shall not
be required to lend any funds to the
Partnership or, after their respective
Capital Contributions have been paid, to
make any further Capital Contribution
to the Partnership.

ARTICLE IX
MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL
Section 9.1
Power and Authority of General Partner.
Subject to the Consent of the Special Limited Partner or the
consent of
the Limited Partner where required by this
Agreement, and subject to the other
limitations and restrictions included in
this Agreement, the General Partner
shall have complete and exclusive control
over the management of the Partnership
business and affairs, and shall have the
right, power and authority, on behalf
of the Partnership, and in its name, to
exercise all of the rights, powers and
authority of a partner of a partnership
without limited partners. If there is
more than one General Partner, all acts,
decisions or consents of the General
Partners shall require the concurrence of
all of the General Partners. If a
General Partner takes action without the
authorization of all the General
Partners then such act, decision, etc.
shall not be deemed a valid action taken
by the General Partners pursuant to this
Agreement. No intentional act by a
General Partner, or a principal of a
General Partner, that violates State or
federal law will be deemed to be within the
authority of this Agreement and,
therefore, the General Partner will be
deemed to have acted in its individual
capacity and not as an agent of the
Partnership. No Limited Partner or Special
Limited Partner (except one who may also be
a General Partner, and then only in
its capacity as General Partner within the
scope of its authority hereunder)
shall have any right to be active in the
management of the Partnership's
business or investments or to exercise any
control thereover, nor have the right
to bind the Partnership in any contract,
agreement, promise or undertaking, or
to act in any way whatsoever with respect
to the control or conduct of the
business of the Partnership, except as
otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement.
Section 9.2

(a) The Partnership shall pay to the Developer a Development Fee in
the
amount of $340,402 in accordance with the

Partnership on the even date hereof. The
Development Fee Agreement provides, in
part, that the Development Fee shall
27
<PAGE>
first be paid from available proceeds in
accordance with Section 9.2(b) of this
Agreement and if not paid in full then the
balance of the Development Fee will
be paid in accordance with Section 11.1 of
this Agreement.
(b) The Partnership shall utilize the proceeds from the Capital
Contributions paid pursuant to Section 7.2
of this Agreement for costs
associated with the development and
construction of the Apartment Housing
including, but not limited to, land costs,
Land Acquisition Fee, architectural
fees, survey and engineering costs,
financing costs, loan fees, Syndication Fee,
building materials and labor. If any
Capital Contribution proceeds are remaining
after Completion of Construction and all
acquisition, development and
construction costs, excluding the
Development Fee, are paid in full, then the
remainder shall: first be paid to the
Developer in payment of the Development
Fee; second be paid to the General Partner
as a reduction of the General
Partner's Capital Contribution; and any
remaining Capital Contribution proceeds
shall be paid to the General Partner as a
Partnership oversight fee.
(c) The Partnership shall pay to the Management Agent a
property
management fee for the leasing and
management of the Apartment Housing in an
amount in accordance with the Management
Agreement. The term of the Management
Agreement shall not exceed one year, and
the execution or renewal of any
Management Agreement shall be subject to
the prior Consent of the Special
Limited Partner. If the Management Agent is
an Affiliate of the General Partner,
and there is an Operating Deficit following
the termination of the Operating
Deficit Guarantee Period or the depletion
of the maximum Operating Deficit
amount pursuant to Section 6.3, whichever
occurs first, then 40% of the
management fee will be deferred ("Deferred
Management Fee"). Deferred Management
Fees, if any, shall be paid to the
Management Agent in accordance with Section
11.1 of this Agreement.
(1) The General Partner shall, upon receiving any request of
the
Mortgage lender
requesting such action, dismiss the Management Agent
as the entity
responsible for
management of the
Apartment Housing
under the
terms of the Management Agreement; or, the General Partner
shall dismiss
the Management Agent at the request of the Special
Limited Partner.
(2) The appointment of any successor Management Agent is subject
to the Consent
of the Special Limited Partner, which may only be
sought after the
General Partner has
provided the Special Limited
Partner with accurate and complete disclosure respecting the proposed
Management Agent.
(d) The Partnership shall pay to the Limited Partner an annual
Asset
Management Fee commencing in 2006 equal to
15% of the Net Operating Income but
in no event less than $750 ("Minimum
Amount") for the Limited Partner's services
in assisting with the preparation of tax
returns and the reports required in
Section 14.2 and Section 14.3 of this
Agreement. The minimum annual Asset
Management Fee of $750 shall be payable in
monthly equal installments; provided,
however, that if in any year Net Operating
Income is insufficient to pay the
full $750, the unpaid portion thereof shall
accrue and be payable on a
cumulative basis in the first year in which
there is sufficient Net Operating
Income, as provided in Section 11.1, or
sufficient Sale or Refinancing Proceeds,
as provided in Section 11.2. The General
Partner shall ensure that any accrued
Asset Management Fee will be reflected in
the annual audited financial
statement.
(e) The Partnership shall pay to the General Partner through
the
Compliance Period an annual Incentive
Management Fee equal to 35% commencing in

Partnership, selecting and supervising
the Partnership's Accountants, bookkeepers
and other Persons required to prepare
and audit the Partnership's financial
statements and tax returns, and preparing
and disseminating reports on the status of
the Apartment Housing and the
Partnership, all as required by Article XIV
of this Agreement. The Partners
acknowledge that the Incentive Management
Fee is being paid as an inducement to
the General Partner to operate the
Partnership efficiently, to maximize
occupancy and to increase the Net Operating
Income. The Incentive Management Fee
shall be payable from Net Operating Income
in the manner and priority set forth
in Section 11.1 of this Agreement upon
completion and delivery of the annual
audit pursuant to Section 14.2(a) of this
Agreement. If the Incentive Management
Fee is not paid in any year it shall not
accrue for payment in subsequent years.
(f) The Partnership shall pay to the General Partner through
the
Compliance Period an annual Tax Credit
Compliance Fee equal to 35% of Net
Operating Income commencing in 2006 for the
services of the General Partner in
ensuring compliance by the Partnership and
the Apartment Housing with all Tax
Credit rules and regulations. The Tax
Credit Compliance Fee shall be payable
from Net Operating Income in the manner and
priority set forth in Section 11.1
of this Agreement upon completion and
delivery of the annual audit pursuant to
Section 14.2(a) of this Agreement. If the
Tax Credit Compliance Fee is not paid
in any year it shall not accrue for payment
in subsequent years.
Section 9.3
Specific Powers of the General Partner.
Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the General
Partner,
in the Partnership's name and on its
behalf, may:

(u) No event has occurred which constitutes a default under any of

or
similar representative, and has determined
that the Real Estate Taxes are
accurate and correct, and that the
Partnership will not be required to pay any
39
<PAGE>
more for real estate taxes, or property
taxes, than the amount of Real Estate
Taxes, referenced in this Agreement, except
for annual increases imposed on all
real estate within the same county as the
Apartment Housing. In the event the
real estate taxes, or property taxes, are
actually greater than the Real Estate
Taxes specified in this Agreement and as a
result of the higher real estate tax,
or property tax, the Debt Service Coverage
falls below 1.10 then the General
Partner will contribute additional capital
to lower the principal of the
mortgage and reamortize the Mortgage so
that the Debt Service Coverage is at a
sustainable 1.10 as approved by the Special
Limited Partner. If the Mortgage
lender will not, or cannot, reamortize the
loan as specified in this Section,
and the General Partner cannot obtain
another mortgage, then the General Partner
will contribute additional capital as
determined by the Special Limited Partner
to the T & I Account in an amount equal
to the annual difference between the
actual real estate tax, or property tax,
over the Real Estate Taxes specified in
this Agreement times the number of years
remaining on the 15-year LIHTC
compliance term. Any payment by the General
Partner pursuant to this section
shall be in addition to the General
Partner's obligation to fund Operating
Deficits.
(bb) The Partnership will maintain a Debt Service Coverage of not
less
than 1.10 and will not close on a permanent
loan or refinance a Mortgage loan if
the Debt Service Coverage would fall below
1.10.
(cc) The General Partner will ensure that the Architect of Record
will
have a policy of professional liability
insurance in an amount not less than one
million dollars, which policy should remain
in force for a period of at least
two years after the closing and funding of
the Mortgage.
(dd) The General Partner and the Guarantor have and shall maintain
an
aggregate net worth equal to at least
$1,000,000 computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting
principles.
(ee) The Partnership is in compliance with and will maintain
compliance
with the requirements of the federal Fair
Housing Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3600 et
seq.) as amended, with respect to the
Apartment Housing.
(ff) Neither the General Partner nor its Affiliates will take
any
action or agree to any terms or conditions
that are contrary to, or in
disagreement with, the tax credit
application used to secure the LIHTC, or the
land use restriction agreement required to
be recorded against the Apartment
Housing.
The General Partner shall be liable to the Limited Partner for
any
costs, damages, loss of profits, diminution
in the value of its investment in
the Partnership, or other losses, of every
nature and kind whatsoever, direct or
indirect, realized or incurred by the
Limited Partner as a result of any
material breach of the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section
9.12.

Limited Partners harmless from and against
any and all losses, damages and
liabilities (including reasonable
attorney's fees) which the Partnership or any
Limited Partner may incur by reason of the

omissions of the General Partner or any of
its Affiliates that constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct, fraud,
malfeasance, breach of fiduciary duty
or breach of any material provision of this
Agreement that has a material

Partner.
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 Limited Partner, 0.01% to the Special
Limited Partner and 0.01% to the
General Partner. In determining the Income,
Loss or Tax Credits, the special
allocation provisions of Section 10.3 shall
not be taken into account.
Section 10.2
Allocations From Sale or Refinancing.
All Income and Losses arising from a Sale or Refinancing shall
be
allocated between the Partners 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 Partners having
negative Capital
Accounts (prior to taking into account the
Sale or
Refinancing and the
Distribution
of the related Sale or
Refinancing
Proceeds, but after
giving effect to
Distributions of Net
Operating
Income and allocations
of other Income and Losses pursuant to this
Article X up to the
date of the Sale or Refinancing) shall be
allocated to such
Partners in proportion
to their negative
Capital
Account balances
until all such
Capital Accounts shall have zero
balances; and
(2) the balance, if any, of such Income shall be allocated to
the
Partners in the proportion necessary so that the Partners will
receive
the amount to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 11.2
hereof.
(b) Losses shall be allocated 99.98% to the Limited Partner, 0.01%
to
the Special Limited Partner and 0.01% to
the General Partner.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 10.2(a)
and
(b), in no event shall any Losses be
allocated to the Limited Partner or the
Special Limited Partner if and to the
extent that such allocation would create
or increase an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit for the Limited Partner or the
Special Limited Partner. In the event an
allocation of 99.98% or 0.01% of each
item includable in the calculation of
Income or Loss not arising from a Sale or
41
<PAGE>
Refinancing, would create or increase an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for
the Limited Partner or the Special Limited
Partner, respectively, then so much
of the items of deduction other than
projected depreciation shall be allocated
to the General Partner instead of the
Limited Partner or the Special Limited
Partner as is necessary to allow the
Limited Partner or the Special Limited
Partner to be allocated 99.98% and 0.01%,
respectively, of the items of Income
and Apartment Housing depreciation without
creating or increasing an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit for the Limited
Partner or the Special Limited Partner,
it being the intent of the parties that the
Limited Partner and the Special
Limited Partner always shall be allocated
99.98% and 0.01%, respectively, of the
items of Income not arising from a Sale or
Refinancing and 99.98% and 0.01%,
respectively, of the Apartment Housing
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 Partnership Minimum Gain
during any Partnership fiscal year,
each Partner shall be specially allocated
items of Partnership 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 Partnership 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 Partner 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
