advance will be classified as a General Partner Capital Contribution.

Notwithstanding this provision, the General Partner remains obligated to the

         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 Partner and/or the Special Limited

commence in accordance with the Code; or

 

         (g) obtain a carryover allocation, within the meaning of Section 42 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.

Insurance premium payments and the real estate tax payments. The annual deposit

to the T & I Account shall equal the total annual Insurance payment and the

total annual real estate tax payment. Said amount shall be deposited monthly in

an amount equal to 1/12th of the annual required amount. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, as part of its obligation to achieve Break-even Operations, the

General Partner shall cause the Partnership to prefund the T & I Account in an

amount equal to one year's property insurance premium and the next full

installment of real estate taxes based on improved land. The T & I Account shall

require the joint signature of the Special Limited Partner for any withdrawals.

Any balance remaining in the account at the time of a sale of the Apartment

funds available to the Partnership a reserve account sufficient in its sole

(a) any rent subsidy required to maintain rent levels in compliance with the Tax

Credit Conditions and applicable RD regulations; and (b) any debt service or

liable for any good-faith estimate which it shall make in connection with

establishing or maintaining any such reserves nor shall the General Partner be

required to establish or maintain any such reserves if, in its sole discretion,

such reserves do not appear to be necessary.

 

                                   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        Payments to the General Partners and Others.

 

         (a) The Partnership shall pay to the Developer a Development Fee in the

amount of $340,402 in accordance with the Development Fee Agreement entered into

by and between the Developer and 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

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:

 

         (a) employ, contract and otherwise deal with, from time to time,

Persons whose services are necessary or appropriate in connection with

         (b) pay as a Partnership expense any and all costs and expenses

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.

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.

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
