Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

    On January 31, 1997, Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund IV L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership, specifically Series 25 thereof (the "Partnership"),
completed various agreements relating to M.R.H., L.P., a Missouri limited
partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), including an Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership dated as of
January 1, 1997 (the "Operating Partnership Agreement"), pursuant to which the
Partnership acquired a limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. 
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have their meanings
set forth in the Operating Partnership Agreement, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit (2)(a).  

    The Operating Partnership owns and operates an apartment complex in St.
Louis, Missouri which is licensed under the laws of the State as a Residential
Care Facility II and which is known as The Mary Ryder Home (the "Apartment
Complex").  The Apartment Complex consists of 16 private bedrooms and 32 semi-
private bedrooms for a total of 48 bedrooms (or apartment units) with a total
of 80 beds.  Construction of the Apartment Complex occurred over a several
year period and was substantially completed by June 5, 1996.  The Apartment
Complex is currently in the process of renting-up and it is expected to
achieve full occupancy by March 31, 1997.

    Site development costs were funded in part through a $225,000 Grant
which was provided to the general partner of the Operating Partnership ("the
General Partner") by the City of St. Louis, Missouri, under the CDBG Program. 
Construction financing was provided to the Operating Partnership for the
Apartment Complex by The Boatmen's National Bank of St. Louis in the amount of
up to $1,850,000 (the "Construction Loan").  The Construction Loan bore
interest at variable rate equal to the Boatmen's Corporate Base Rate plus 1/4%
and was repaid by the Operating Partnership on January 31, 1997.  Various site
development and construction costs were also funded through a loan from the
General Partner in the amount of $989,629 (the "Second Mortgage Loan") which
bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum and which was also repaid on
January 31, 1997.  Permanent first mortgage financing in the amount of
$1,817,465.92 (the "First Mortgage Loan") is being provided by The Boatmen's
National Bank of St. Louis.  The First Mortgage Loan bears a fixed interest
rate of 8.75% and has a term of 7 years and an amortization period of 7 years. 
The Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners will be utilized in part by
the Operating Partnership to pay down the First Mortgage Loan to approximately
$322,466 by December 31, 1997.

    87.5% of the apartment units (42 units) in the Apartment Complex are
believed to qualify for the low-income housing tax credit (the "Tax Credits")
under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").

    The General Partner is Mary Ryder Home, a not-for-profit Missouri
corporation which was originally founded in 1930 under the name Joint Council
of Women's Auxiliaries by Mrs. Mary Ryder.  Mrs. Ryder started a home with a
mission to respond to the depression era needs of homeless and destitute
women.  The General Partner has been in the business of owning and
successfully operating the various housing facilities relating to The Mary
Ryder Home for over the past 67 years.  Mrs. Ryder's daughter-in-law, Ethel
Ryder, has been the Executive Director of the General Partner since 1961, and
Mrs. Ryder's granddaughter, Catherine Jones, is the Assistant Director of the
General Partner and Administrator of the Apartment Complex.  Ms. Jones, a
Licensed Nursing Home Administrator, has been with The Mary Ryder Home since
1964 and has served as the Assistant Director since 1972.

    The General Partner will also serve as the management agent for the
Apartment Complex (the "Management Agent").  The Management Agent will receive
a monthly fee from the Operating Partnership equal to 8% of gross collections
received during the previous month.  

    The Partnership acquired its interest in the Operating Partnership
directly from the Operating Partnership in consideration of an agreement to
make a Capital Contribution of $1,601,573 which has been or will be payable to
the Operating Partnership in three (3) Installments as follows:

    1.   $795,787 (the "First Installment") on the latest of (i) the
Admission Date, (ii) State Designation,  (iii) Construction
Mortgage Closing or (iv) Permanent Mortgage Commitment;

    2.   $795,786 (the "Second Installment") on the latest of (i) December
31, 1997, (ii) the Completion Date, (iii) Cost Certification, (iv)
Contractor's Release Date, (v) receipt by the Limited Partner of
an Updated Title Policy, (vi) the Initial 100% Occupancy Date,
(vii) Permanent Mortgage Commencement, (viii) Rental Achievement,
or (ix) satisfaction of all conditions to payment of the First
Installment; and

    3.   $10,000 (the "Third Installment") on the later of (i) Rental
Achievement Confirmation, (ii) release of all UCC Financing
Statements executed by the Limited Partners, or (iii) satisfaction
of all conditions to payment of the First and Second Installments.

The total Capital Contribution of the Partnership to the Operating Partnership
is based on the Operating Partnership receiving $2,888,840 of Tax Credits
during the 10-year period commencing in 1997, of which $2,859,952 will be
allocated to the Partnership as the Investment Limited Partner of the
Operating Partnership.  The Special Limited Partner of the Operating
Partnership is BCTC 94, Inc., an affiliate of the Partnership.  The Missouri
Limited Partner of the Operating Partnership is Midwest Capital Corporation, a
Missouri corporation.

    The Partnership believes that the Apartment Complex is adequately
insured.

    Ownership interests in the Operating Partnership are as follows, subject
in each case to certain priority allocations and distributions:



                    Normal             Capital            Cash
                   Operations         Transactions        Flow
 
General Partner       1%                  74.99%           80%

Partnership          99%                  24.99%           20%

Special Limited
Partner               0%                    0.01%           0%

Missouri Limited
Partner               0%                    0.01%           0%


The Missouri Limited Partner will also receive 100% of all Missouri Low-Income
Housing Tax Credits allocated to the Operating Partnership.

    The Partnership has or will pay to Jeffrey E. Smith, the President of
the Missouri Limited Partner, a fee equal to $142,998 (the "Standby General
Partner Fee") for his willingness to function as a Replacement General Partner
in the event the General Partner is removed from the Operating Partnership
pursuant to Section 4.5 of the Operating Partnership Agreement, as more fully
described in the Standby General Partner Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
(2)(c).  The Standby General Partner Fee shall be paid in two equal
installments of $71,499 each, which will be due and payable at the same time
the First and Second Installments of Capital Contribution of the Partnership
are paid to the Operating Partnership.

    The Partnership used the funds obtained from the payments of the holders
of its beneficial assignee certificates to make the acquisition of its
interest in the Operating Partnership and to pay the Standby General Partner
Fee.  

    Boston Capital Asset Management Limited Partnership ("BCAMLP"), an
affiliate of the general partner of the Partnership, or another affiliate
thereof, will receive an annual Asset Management Fee commencing in 1997 from
the Operating Partnership for services in connection with the Operating
Partnership's accounting matters and the preparation of tax returns and
reports to the Partnership.  The Asset Management Fee will be in an annual
amount equal to the lesser of (i) $3,500 or (ii) one-half of one per cent
(0.5%) of the Aggregate Cost of the Apartment Complex.  The Asset Management
Fee for each fiscal year will be payable from Cash Flow in the manner and
priority set forth in Article X of the Operating Partnership Agreement.  To
the extent Cash Flow in any year is insufficient to pay the entire amount of
the Asset Management Fee, the amount of such deficiency shall be paid directly
by the General Partner to BCAMLP as an Affiliate thereof from its own funds.  

    The Missouri Limited Partner or an Affiliate thereof, will receive an
annual Missouri Asset Management Fee commencing in 1997 for its services in
connection with the Operating Partnership's accounting matters relating to the
Missouri Limited Partner and assisting with the preparation of tax returns and
reports to the Missouri Limited Partner.  The Missouri Asset Management Fee
will be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $1,500 or (ii) one-half of one
percent (0.5%) of the Aggregate Cost of the Apartment Complex.  The Missouri
Asset Management Fee shall be payable from Cash Flow in the manner and
priority set forth in Article X of the Operating Partnership Agreement.  To
the extent Cash Flow in any year is insufficient to pay the entire amount of
the Missouri Asset Management Fee, the amount of such deficiency shall be paid
directly by the General Partner to the Missouri Limited Partner or an
Affiliate thereof from its own funds.

    The Operating Partnership has paid a Construction and Development Fee to
the General Partner (or its designee) for its service in connection with the
construction and development of the Apartment Complex in an amount equal to
$546,019 plus $20,572 of accrued interest thereon  The Construction and
Development Fee and accrued interest thereon have been paid from the proceeds
of Capital Contributions of the General Partner.  The Operating Partnership
will pay to the General Partner an Annual Partnership Management Fee
commencing in 1997 for its services in connection with managing the day-to-day
business of the Operating Partnership in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
$5,000 per annum or (ii) the excess of (A) one-half of one percent (0.5%) of
the Aggregate Cost of the Apartment Complex over (B) the amount of the Asset
Management Fee attributable to such year.  The Annual Partnership Management
Fee for each fiscal year will be payable from Cash Flow in the manner and
priority set forth in Article X of the Operating Partnership Agreement.  The
Operating Partnership will also pay to the General Partner an annual

supervising and developing a marketing program for the Apartment Complex in an

The Operating Partnership and the General Partner have entered into an

Partner(s), if any, shall fail to continue the business of the Partnership and
reconstitute the Partnership as a successor limited partnership as provided in
Section 7.2 and (ii) the Investment Limited Partner shall fail to exercise the
right provided in Section 7.3;

    (c)  The election to dissolve the Partnership made in writing by the
General Partners with the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner and the
approval (if required) of each Lender; 

    (d)  The entry of a final decree of dissolution of the Partnership by a
court of competent jurisdiction; or

    (e)  Any other event which causes the dissolution of the Partnership
under the Uniform Act if the Partnership is not reconstituted pursuant to
Section 7.2 or Section 7.3.

    Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partners (or for
purposes of this paragraph, their trustees, receivers or successors) shall
cause the cancellation of the Certificate, liquidate the Partnership assets
and apply and distribute the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 10.3. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, during liquidation, the General Partners
shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership's
assets would be impermissible, impractical or cause undue loss to the
Partners, the General Partners may defer liquidation of, and withhold from
distribution for a reasonable time, any assets of the Partnership except those
necessary to satisfy Partnership debts and obligations (other than
Subordinated Loans).


ARTICLE III

Mortgage, Refinancing and Disposition of Property

    A.   Through Permanent Mortgage Commencement, the General Partners and
their Affiliates, jointly and severally, are hereby authorized to incur
personal liability for the repayment of funds advanced by the Lenders (and
interest thereon) pursuant to the Mortgages.  However, from and after
Permanent Mortgage Commencement, neither any General Partner nor any Related
Person shall at any time bear, nor shall the General Partners permit any other
Partner or any Related Person to bear, the Economic Risk of Loss for the
payment of any portion of any Mortgage.

    B.   The Partnership may decrease, increase or refinance the Mortgages
and may make any required transfer or conveyance of Partnership assets for
security or mortgage purposes, provided, however, any such decrease (except
through the seven (7)-year amortization schedule anticipated at Permanent
Mortgage Commencement), increase or refinancing any Mortgage may be made by
the General Partners only with the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner.

    C.   The Partnership may sell, lease, exchange or otherwise transfer or
convey all or substantially all the assets of the Partnership only with the
Consent of the Investment Limited Partner.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and
except as set forth in Section 6.2(a)(6), no Consent of the Investment Limited
Partner shall be required for the leasing of apartments to tenants in the
normal course of operations.


ARTICLE IV

Partners; Capital

    4.1  Capital and Capital Accounts

    (a)  The Capital Contribution of each Partner is as set forth on
Schedule A.  No interest shall be paid on any Capital Contribution.  No
Partner shall have the right to withdraw its Capital Contribution or to demand
and receive property of the Partnership in return for its Capital Contribu-
tion, except as may be specifically provided in this Agreement or required by
law.

    (b)  An individual Capital Account shall be established and maintained
on behalf of each Partner, including any additional or substituted Partner who
shall hereafter receive an interest in the Partnership.  In accordance with
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b), the Capital Account of each Partner
shall consist of (i) the amount of cash such Partner has contributed to the
Partnership plus (ii) the fair market value of any property such Partner has
contributed to the Partnership net of any liabilities assumed by the Partner-
ship or to which such property is subject plus (iii) the amount of profits or
income (including tax-exempt income) allocated to such Partner less (iv) the
amount of losses and deductions allocated to such Partner less (v) the amount
of all cash distributed to such Partner less (vi) the fair market value of any
property distributed to such Partner net of any liabilities assumed by such
Partner or to which such property is subject less (vii) such Partner's share
of any other expenditures which are not deductible by the Partnership for
federal income tax purposes or which are not allowable as additions to the
basis of Partnership property and shall be (viii) subject to such other
adjustments as may be required under the Code.  The Capital Account of a
Partner shall not be affected by any adjustments to basis made pursuant to
Section 743 of the Code but shall be adjusted with respect to adjustments to
basis made pursuant to Section 734 of the Code.

    The original Capital Account established for any Substituted Partner (as
hereinafter defined) shall be in the same amount as, and shall replace, the
Capital Account of the Partner which such Substituted Partner succeeds, and,
for the purposes of this Agreement, such Substituted Partner shall be deemed
to have made the Capital Contribution, to the extent actually paid in, of the
Partner which such Substituted Partner succeeds.  The term "Substituted
Partner," as used in this paragraph, shall mean a Person who shall become
entitled to receive a share of the allocations and distributions of the
Partnership by reason of such Person succeeding to all or any part of the
Interest of a Partner by assignment of all or any part of a Partner's
Interest.  To the extent a Substituted Partner receives less than 100% of the
Interest of a Partner he succeeds, the original Capital Account of such
transferee Substituted Partner and his Capital Contribution shall be in
proportion to the portion of the transferor Partner's Interest prior to the
transfer which the transferee receives, and the Capital Account of the
transferor Partner who retains a portion of his former Interest and his
Capital Contribution shall continue, and not be replaced, in proportion to the
portion of the transferor Partner's Interest prior to the transfer which the
transferor Partner retains.  Nothing in this Section 4.1(b) shall affect the
limitations on transferability of Interests set forth in Article VII or
Article VIII.

    4.2  General Partners

    The name, address and Capital Contribution of each General Partner are
as set forth on Schedule A.  The Capital Contribution of the General Partners
shall be contributed no later than the Admission Date and shall be applied to
repay in full all principal and interest due on the Second Mortgage and any
outstanding balance of the Construction and Development Fee and interest
accrued thereon.

    4.3  Investment Limited Partner, Missouri Limited Partner,
         Special Limited Partner and Original Limited Partner

    The Original Limited Partner hereby withdraws as a limited partner of
the Partnership and acknowledges that he no longer has any interest in, or
rights or claims against, the Partnership as a Limited Partner as of the
Admission Date.  The Investment Limited Partner, the Missouri Limited Partner
and the Special Limited Partner are hereby admitted as additional Limited
Partners of the Partnership as of the Admission Date and agree to be bound by
the terms and provisions of the Project Documents and this Agreement.  The
names and addresses of the Investment Limited Partner, the Missouri Limited
Partner and the Special Limited Partner are as set forth on Schedule A.  The
General Partners shall have no authority to admit additional Limited Partners
without the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner.

    4.4  Liability of the Limited Partners

    None of the Investment Limited Partner, the Missouri Limited Partner,
the Special Limited Partner and any Person who becomes an Additional Limited
Partner shall be liable for any debts, liabilities, contracts or obligations
of the Partnership and shall only be liable to pay their respective Capital
Contributions as and when the same are due hereunder and under the Uniform
Act.

    4.5  Special Rights of the Investment Limited Partner and the Special
         Limited Partner

    (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, to the extent the law
of the State is not inconsistent, each of the Investment Limited Partner and
the Special Limited Partner shall have the right, subject to the prior written
consent of any Lender whose consent thereto is required, to:

    (i)  remove and replace any General Partner and elect a new General
Partner (A) on the basis of the performance and discharge of such General
Partner's obligations constituting fraud, bad faith, negligence, misconduct or
breach of fiduciary duty, or (B) upon the occurrence of any of the following
which would result in or is likely to result in a material detriment to or an
impairment of the Apartment Complex, the Partnership or assets of the
Partnership:  (1) such General Partner shall have violated any provisions of
any Project Document or other document required in connection with any
Mortgage, or any provisions of any Agency regulations applicable to the
Apartment Complex; (2) such General Partner shall have violated any provision
of this Agreement or violated any provision of applicable law; (3) any
Mortgage shall have gone into default; or (4) such General Partner shall have
conducted its own affairs or the affairs of the Partnership in such a manner
as would (a) cause the termination of the Partnership for federal income tax
purposes or (b) cause the Partnership to be treated for federal income tax
purposes as an association taxable as a corporation; provided, however, that
any dispute between the Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited
Partner and such General Partner regarding removal under this Section
4.5(a)(i) shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the arbitration
rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect in the City of
St. Louis, Missouri;

    (ii) continue the business of the Partnership with a substitute General
Partner; and

    (iii)     approve or disapprove the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Partnership, other than a sale pursuant to the Option and Right
of First Refusal Agreement.

    (b)  Upon the removal of a General Partner, (i) without any further
action by any Partner, the Special Limited Partner or its designee shall auto-
matically become a General Partner and acquire in consideration of a cash
payment of $100 such portion of the Interest of the removed General Partner as
counsel to the Investment Limited Partner shall determine is the minimum
appropriate interest in order to assure the continued status of the Partner-
ship as a partnership under the Code and under the Uniform Act, (ii) the
remaining portion of the economic Interest of the removed General Partner
shall automatically be converted to an equal economic Interest as an
Additional Limited Partner, (iii) the economic Interest of the Special Limited
Partner as the Special Limited Partner shall continue unaffected by the new
status of the Special Limited Partner or its designee as a General Partner,
and (iv) the new General Partner shall automatically be irrevocably delegated
all of the powers and duties of the General Partners pursuant to Section 6.13. 
The Special Limited Partner or any successor General Partner proposed by the
Special Limited Partner shall have the option, exercisable in its sole dis-
cretion, to acquire the remainder of the Additional Limited Partner Interest,
or any portion thereof, of any removed General Partner upon payment of the
agreed or then present fair market value of such Interest or portion thereof,
which value shall include the value attributable to the ability of a General
Partner to select the Management Agent.  Any dispute as to such value shall be
submitted to a committee composed of three qualified real estate appraisers,
one chosen by the removed General Partner, one chosen by the successor General
Partner or the Investment Limited Partner, as the case may be, and the third
chosen by the two so chosen.  The proceedings of such committee shall conform
to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, as far as appropriate,
and its decision shall be final and binding.  The expense of arbitration shall
be born equally by the removed General Partner and the Partnership.  The
method of payment to the removed General Partner shall be fair; and must
protect the solvency and liquidity of the Partnership.  The method of payment
will be deemed presumptively fair where it provides for an interest-bearing
promissory note coming due in five (5) years with equal installments each
year.  In addition, upon removal, the Partnership must promptly pay to the
removed General Partner all amounts then accrued and owing to the removed
General Partner; provided, however, that notwithstanding the language of
Section 6.12, Article X, Article XI and any other provision hereof, no removed
General Partner or Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to receive any fee,
compensation or other remuneration from the Partnership, other than (i) the
above-described payment for the Interest, or portion thereof, of the removed
General Partner, and (ii) any such fee, compensation or other remuneration
which had already been earned in full prior to the date of such removal.  The
Partnership is not authorized to enter into any arrangement whereby any fee,
compensation or other remuneration could be payable directly or indirectly to
any General Partner in a manner inconsistent with the immediately preceding
sentence unless the prior written consent of the Special Limited Partner shall
have been obtained to such particular arrangement.  The Partnership may offset
against any payments to a General Partner so removed under this Section 4.5
any damages suffered by the Partnership as a result of any breach of the
obligations of such General Partner or any Affiliate thereof hereunder.  A
General Partner so removed will not be liable as a general partner for any
obligations of the Partnership after the effective date of its removal.  Each
General Partner hereby grants to the Special Limited Partner an irrevocable
(to the extent permitted by applicable law) power of attorney coupled with an
interest to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments on
behalf of such General Partner as the Special Limited Partner may deem to be
necessary or appropriate in order to effect the provisions of this Section 4.5
and to enable the new General Partner to manage the business of the
Partnership.  

    4.6  Meetings

    The General Partners or Limited Partners holding more than 10% of the
then outstanding Limited Partner Interests may call meetings of the Partner-
ship for any matters for which the Limited Partners may vote as set forth in
this Agreement.  A list of the names and addresses of all Limited Partners
shall be maintained as part of the books and records of the Partnership and
shall be made available upon request to any Limited Partner or his representa-
tive at his cost.  Upon receipt of a written request either in person or by
certified mail stating the purpose(s) of the meeting, the General Partners
shall provide all Limited Partners within ten (10) days after receipt of said
request, written notice (either in person or by certified mail) of a meeting
and the purpose of such meeting to be held on a date not less then fifteen
(15) nor more than sixty (60) days after receipt of said request, at a time
convenient to the Limited Partners.  All meetings shall be held at the prin-
cipal office of the Partnership.


ARTICLE V

the Missouri Limited Partner and the Investment Limited Partner

    5.1  Payments

    (a)  The Special Limited Partner's Capital Contribution of $10 shall be
paid in full in cash on its Admission Date. The Investment Limited Partner and
the Missouri Limited Partner will make Capital Contributions of $1,601,573 and
$277,327, respectively, which will be paid to the Partnership in three (3)
installments (the "Installments") as follows:

              (1)  $934,451 (the "First Installment") will be made
$795,787 by the Investment Limited Partner and $138,664 by the Missouri
Limited Partner upon the latest of (i) State Designation, (ii) Construction
Mortgage Closing, (iii) Permanent Mortgage Commitment or (iv) the Admission
Date; 

              (2)  $934,449 (the "Second Installment") will be made
$795,786 by the Investment Limited Partner and $138,663 by the Missouri
Limited Partner upon the latest of (i) Completion Date, (ii) Cost
Certification, (iii) December 31, 1997, (iv) receipt by the Limited Partners
of the Updated Title Policy, (v)  Contractor's Release Date, (vi)  the Initial
100% Occupancy Date, (vii) Permanent Mortgage Commencement, (viii) Rental
Achievement, or (xi) satisfaction of all conditions to the payment of the
First Installment; and

              (3)  $10,000 (the "Third Installment") will be made by the
Investment Limited Partner upon the later to occur of (i) Rental Achievement
Confirmation, (ii) release of all UCC Financing Statements executed by the
Limited Partners or (iii) satisfaction of all conditions to the payment of the
First and Second Installments;

provided, however, that the General Partners shall give the Investment
Limited Partner and the Missouri Limited Partner not less than twenty-one
(21) days' written notice prior to the due date of each Installment
subsequent to the First Installment.

    (b)  The obligation of the Investment Limited Partner and the Missouri
Limited Partner to pay each Installment is conditioned upon delivery by the
General Partners to the Investment Limited Partner and the Missouri Limited
Partner of a written certificate (the "Payment Certificate") stating that as
of the date of such certificate (i) all the conditions to the payment of such
Installment have been satisfied and (ii) all representations and warranties
of the General Partners contained in this Agreement are true and correct. 
Except as provided in the final sentence of this Section 5.1(b), acceptance
by the Partnership of an Installment shall constitute a confirmation that, as
of the date of payment, all conditions set forth in Section 5.1(a) have been
achieved.  The obligation of the Investment Limited Partner and the Missouri
Limited Partner to pay the First Installment is also conditioned upon
delivery by the General Partners to the Investment Limited Partner and the
Missouri Limited Partner of (i) a legal opinion of independent Missouri
counsel to the Partnership, which opinion must be satisfactory to the
Investment Limited Partner and the Missouri Limited Partner both as to form
and as to counsel and (ii) delivery by the General Partners to the Investment
Limited Partner of the Title Policy.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
if at any time prior to the date when an Installment becomes due and payable,
the Partnership has any unpaid items enumerated in the numbered clauses of
the second sentence of Section 6.11 or an "Operating Deficit" (expenses in
excess of revenues which the General Partners would be required to fund
pursuant to Section 6.10), then the Investment Limited Partner and the
Missouri Limited Partner may, at their option, waive the requirement of the
delivery of the Payment Certificate or any other condition with respect to
part or all of such Installment and pay such part or all of such Installment,
provided that the proceeds of the amount so paid are used by the Partnership
to fully fund such unpaid item and/or Operating Deficit; provided, however,
that if the proceeds of such amount so paid are designated in Section 6.12 to
be used to pay fee(s), then such proceeds shall be utilized to pay such
fee(s) and the General Partners, on their behalf and on behalf of any of
their Affiliates to the extent any of the foregoing are recipient(s) thereof
shall be required to, and hereby agree to, utilize the proceeds of such
fee(s) to fund such unpaid item and/or Operating Deficit, in which case the
Investment Limited Partner and the Missouri Limited Partner are hereby
authorized to directly fund such unpaid item and/or Operating Deficit and the
funds so applied shall be deemed to have been paid as aforesaid.

    (c)  The Payment Certificate for each Installment shall be dated and
delivered not less than twenty-one (21) nor more than thirty (30) days prior
to the due date for such Installment.

    (d)  If, as of the date when an Installment would otherwise be due, any
statement required to be made in the Payment Certificate for such Installment
cannot be truthfully made, the General Partners shall notify the Investment
Limited Partner and the Missouri Limited Partner of the reason why such
statement would be untrue if made, and the Investment Limited Partner and the
Missouri Limited Partner shall not be required to pay such Installment;
provided, however, that if (i) any such statement can subsequently be
truthfully made and (ii) the Investment Limited Partner and the Missouri
Limited Partner shall not have irrevocably lost, in the good faith judgment
of the Investment General Partner and the Missouri Limited Partner, any
material tax or other benefits hereunder, then the Investment Limited Partner
and the Missouri Limited Partner shall pay such Installment to the
Partnership thirty (30) days after delivery by the General Partners to the
Investment Limited Partner and the Missouri Limited Partner of the Payment
Certificate together with an explanation of the manner in which each such
statement had become true. 

    (e)(i)    If with respect to any year all or a portion of which occurs
during the 60-month period commencing on the later of (i) the Admission Date
or (ii) the Completion Date (a "Reduction Year") the Actual Federal Credit is
or was less than the Projected Federal Credit, then the Capital Contribution
of the Investment Limited Partner shall be reduced by the Federal Reduction
Amount.  The Federal Reduction Amount shall be equal to the sum of (A) the
excess of the Projected Federal Credit for such year over the Actual Federal
Credit for such year multiplied by .746 plus (B) the amount of any recapture,
interest or penalty payable by the limited partners and/or holders of
beneficial assignee certificates of the Investment Limited Partner as a result
of such shortfall, assuming that each limited partner and/or holder of a
beneficial assignee certificate in the Investment Limited Partner used all of
the Tax Credits allocated to it in the year of allocation and that each such
Person was subject to interest at the rate set forth in Section 6621(a)(2) of
the Code and to the penalty for understatement of tax set forth in Section
6662(d) of the Code.  The Accountants shall make their determination of the
amount of the Actual Federal Credit with respect to each Reduction Year within
30 days following the end of such year.  The Capital Contribution of the
Investment Limited Partner shall be subject to reduction as hereinabove
described with respect to each Reduction Year.  Any Federal Reduction Amount
shall, at the option of the Investment Limited Partner, either (i) first be
applied to the Installment next due to be paid by the Investment Limited
Partner, with any portion of such Federal Reduction Amount in excess of the
amount of such Installment then being applied to the succeeding Installments,
provided that if no further Installments remain to be paid or if the Federal
Reduction Amount shall exceed the sum of the amounts of the remaining
Installments, then the entire Federal Reduction Amount or the balance of the
Federal Reduction Amount, as the case may be, shall be paid by the General
Partners to the Investment Limited Partner promptly after demand is made
therefor, as a payment of damages for breach of warranty, regardless of the
reason for the occurrence of such event or (ii) be paid in its entirety by the
General Partners to the Investment Limited Partner promptly after demand is
made therefor, as a payment of damages for breach of warranty, regardless of
the reason for the occurrence of such event.

    (e)(ii)   If with respect to any Reduction Year the Actual Missouri
Credit is or was less than the Projected Missouri Credit, then the Capital
Contribution of the Missouri Limited Partner shall be reduced by the Missouri
Reduction Amount.  The Missouri Reduction Amount shall be equal to the sum of
(A) the excess of the Projected Missouri Credit for such year over the Actual
Missouri Credit for such year multiplied by .25 plus (B) the amount of any
recapture, interest or penalty payable by the stockholders of the Missouri
Limited Partner as a result of such shortfall, assuming that each stockholder
in the Missouri Limited Partner used all of the Missouri Low-Income Housing
Tax Credits allocated to it in the year of allocation and that each such
Person was subject to interest at the rate set forth in Section 6621(a)(2) of
the Code and to the penalty for understatement of tax set forth in Section
6662(d) of the Code.  The Accountants shall make their determination of the
amount of the Actual Missouri Credit with respect to each Reduction Year
within 30 days following the end of such year.  The Capital Contribution of
the Missouri Limited Partner shall be subject to reduction as hereinabove
described with respect to each Reduction Year.  Any Missouri Reduction Amount
shall, at the option of the Missouri Limited Partner, either (i) first be
applied to the Installment next due to be paid by the Missouri Limited
Partner, with any portion of such Missouri Reduction Amount in excess of the
amount of such Installment then being applied to the succeeding Installments,
provided that if no further Installments remain to be paid or if the Missouri
Reduction Amount shall exceed the sum of the amounts of the remaining
Installments, then the entire Missouri Reduction Amount or the balance of the
Missouri Reduction Amount, as the case may be, shall be paid by the General
Partners to the Missouri Limited Partner promptly after demand is made
therefor, as a payment of damages for breach of warranty, regardless of the
reason for the occurrence of such event or (ii) be paid in its entirety by the
General Partners to the Missouri Limited Partner promptly after demand is made
therefor, as a payment of damages for breach of warranty, regardless of the
reason for the occurrence of such event.

    (f)(i)    In the event that, for any reason, at any time after the end
of the year during which the 60-month anniversary of the later of (i) the
Admission Date or (ii) the Completion Date occurs, the amount of the Actual
Federal Credit shall be less than the Projected Federal Credit with respect to
any fiscal year of the Partnership (such difference being hereinafter referred
to as a "Federal Credit Shortfall"), the Investment Limited Partner shall be
treated as having made a constructive advance to the Partnership with respect
to such year (a "Federal Credit Recovery Loan"), which shall be deemed to have
been made on January 1 of such year in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the
Federal Credit Shortfall for such year plus (ii) the amount of any recapture,
interest or penalty payable by the limited partners and/or holders of
beneficial assignee certificates of the Investment Limited Partner as a result
of the Federal Credit Shortfall for such year, assuming that each limited
partner and/or holder of a beneficial assignee certificate in the Investment
Limited Partner used all of the Tax Credits allocated to it in the year of
allocation and that each such Person was subject to interest at the rate set
forth in Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code and to the penalty for understatement
of tax set forth in Section 6662(d) of the Code.  Federal Credit Recovery
Loans shall be deemed to bear simple (not compounded) interest from the
respective dates on which such principal advances shall have been deemed to
have been made under this Section 5.1(f)(i) at 9% per annum.  Federal Credit
Recovery Loans shall be repayable by the Partnership as provided in
Section 10.2(b), Clause Second.

    (f)(ii)   In the event that, for any reason, at any time after the end
of the year during which the 60-month anniversary of the later of (i) the
Admission Date or (ii) the Completion Date occurs, the amount of the Actual
Missouri Credit shall be less than the Projected Missouri Credit with respect
to any fiscal year of the Partnership (such difference being hereinafter
referred to as a "Missouri Credit Shortfall"), the Missouri Limited Partner
shall be treated as having made a constructive advance to the Partnership with
respect to such year (a "Missouri Credit Recovery Loan"), which shall be
deemed to have been made on January 1 of such year in an amount equal to the
sum of (i) the Missouri Credit Shortfall for such year plus (ii) the amount of
any recapture, interest or penalty payable by the stockholders of the Missouri
Limited Partner as a result of the Missouri Credit Shortfall for such year,
assuming that each stockholder in the Missouri Limited Partner used all of the
Missouri Low-Income Housing Tax Credits allocated to it in the year of
allocation and that each such Person was subject to interest at the rate set
forth in Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code and to the penalty for understatement
of tax set forth in Section 6662(d) of the Code.  Missouri Credit Recovery
Loans shall be deemed to bear simple (not compounded) interest from the
respective dates on which such principal advances shall have been deemed to
have been made under this Section 5.1(f)(ii) at 9% per annum.  Missouri Credit
Recovery Loans shall be repayable by the Partnership as provided in
Section 10.2(b), Clause Third.

    (g)(i)    In the event that at any time after the Completion Date the
product of the Apartment Complex's Qualified Basis and its Applicable
Percentage is determined by the Accountants, the Auditors, the Tax Accountants
or the Service to be such that the Apartment Complex will not be eligible to
receive Tax Credit in an annual dollar amount of at least $288,884 or the
Accountants, Auditors, Tax Accountants or the Service otherwise determines
that the Apartment Complex will not be eligible to receive Tax Credit in an
annual dollar amount of at least $288,884, then (a) the General Partners shall
pay to the Investment Limited Partner an amount equal to 99% of the product of
(A) the difference between (i) $2,888,840 and (ii) the total amount of Tax
Credit allocated and available to the Partnership and (B) .746, and (b) the
Projected Federal Credit for each year shall thereafter be redefined to mean
99% of the total amount of Tax Credit so allocated and available to the
Partnership for such year (the "Revised Projected Federal Credit").  Any
amount payable by the General Partners to the Investment Limited Partner
pursuant to this Section 5.1(g)(i) shall, at the option of the Investment
Limited Partner, either (i) be applied first to the Installment, if any, next
due to be paid by the Investment Limited Partner, and any balance of such
amount payable by the General Partners in excess of the amount of such
Installment shall be applied to succeeding Installments, if any, provided that
if such amount payable by the General Partners exceeds the sum of the
remaining Installments, if any, then an amount equal to the amount of such
excess shall be paid by the General Partners to the Investment Limited Partner
promptly after demand is made therefor, as a payment of damages for breach of
warranty, regardless of the reason for the occurrence of such event, or (ii)
to be paid in its entirety by the General Partners to the Investment Limited
Partner promptly after demand is made therefor, as a payment of damages for
breach of warranty, regardless of the reason for the occurrence of such event.

    (g)(ii)   In the event that at any time after the Completion Date the
product of the Apartment Complex's Qualified Basis and its Applicable
Percentage is determined by the Accountants, the Auditors, the Tax Accountants
or the Service to be such that the Apartment Complex will not be eligible to
receive Missouri Low-Income Housing Tax Credit in an annual dollar amount of
at least $115,553 or the Accountants, Auditors, Tax Accountants or the Service
otherwise determines that the Apartment Complex will not be eligible to
receive Missouri Low-Income Housing Tax Credit in an annual dollar amount of
at least $115,553, then (a) the General Partners shall pay to the Missouri
Limited Partner an amount equal to the product of (A) the difference between
(i) $1,155,530 and (ii) the total amount of Missouri Low-Income Housing Tax
Credit allocated and available to the Partnership and (B) .25, and (b) the
Projected Missouri Credit for each year shall thereafter be redefined to mean
the total amount of Missouri Low-Income Housing Tax Credit so allocated and
available to the Partnership for such year (the "Revised Projected Missouri
Credit").  Any amount payable by the General Partners to the Missouri Limited
Partner pursuant to this Section 5.1(g)(ii) shall, at the option of the
Missouri Limited Partner, either (i) be applied first to the Installment, if
any, next due to be paid by the Missouri Limited Partner, and any balance of
such amount payable by the General Partners in excess of the amount of such
Installment shall be applied to succeeding Installments, if any, provided that
if such amount payable by the General Partners exceeds the sum of the
remaining Installments, if any, then an amount equal to the amount of such
excess shall be paid by the General Partners to the Missouri Limited Partner
promptly after demand is made therefor, as a payment of damages for breach of
warranty, regardless of the reason for the occurrence of such event, or (ii)
to be paid in its entirety by the General Partners to the Missouri Limited
Partner promptly after demand is made therefor, as a payment of damages for
breach of warranty, regardless of the reason for the occurrence of such event.

    (h)  From the proceeds of the First Installment, not less than $610,550
of the Limited Partners' Capital Contribution will be applied by the
Partnership to paydown the First Mortgage and from the proceeds of the Second
Installment, not less than $884,450 of the Limited Partners' Capital
Contribution will be applied by the Partnership to further paydown the First
Mortgage.

    (i)  Each of the Investment Limited Partner and the Missouri Limited
Partner hereby grants to the Partnership a first priority security interest in
and to such Partner's Interest, including, without limitation, any right to
distributions, in liquidation or otherwise, with respect to such Interest, for
the purpose of securing the payment to the Partnership of each respective
Installment of Capital Contribution of such Partner subsequent to the First
Installment (the "Future Installments").  The Partnership shall have all of
the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code
as enacted in the State (the "UCC") with respect to such Interest.  Each of
the Investment Limited Partner and the Missouri Limited Partner further agrees
to execute and deliver to the Partnership such UCC Financing Statements and
other documents and instruments and to take such further actions as may be
reasonably necessary or appropriate in the opinion of counsel to the
Partnership in order to perfect and maintain the first priority security
interest granted hereby.  In the event that the Partnership has conclusively
satisfied the conditions and procedures for payment as set forth in Sections
5.1(a) and 5.1(b) (the "Payment Conditions") and either the Investment Limited
Partner or the Missouri Limited Partner fails to make a Future Installment by
the date required therefor, such Partner shall be considered to be in default
in respect to such payment obligations and the Partnership may mail a written
notice to such defaulting Partner of the existence of such default and demand
that such default be cured within the twenty (20)-day period after the
Partnership mails such notice (as evidenced by the postmark date of the
notice) (the "Cure Period"), and failing either (i) payment in full of such
amount within the Cure Period, or (ii) receipt within the Cure Period from
such Partner of a written notification stating which Payment Condition has not
been achieved, the Partnership may then exercise any and all remedies
available to it hereunder or at law or in equity.  Any action or suit which
arises in connection with any dispute between the Partnership and any Partner
as to whether a Payment Condition has been met shall be litigated only in
courts of record located in Missouri, and each Partner hereby (i) consents and
submits to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court located
within Missouri, (ii) waives any right to transfer or change the venue of any
such litigation to a court located outside of Missouri, and (iii) agrees to
service of process, to the extent permitted by law, by mail addressed to such
Partner's then current address as indicated on Schedule A hereto, as the same
may be amended from time to time.  The Partnership and any Partner shall be
entitled to bid for and purchase all or any part of the Interest being sold at
any sale conducted pursuant to, or as permitted under, the UCC.  In order to
realize upon the security interest granted herein, the Partnership may sell or
otherwise dispose of the Interest of a Partner defaulting in the payment of a
Future Installment due hereunder at public sale, with or without having the
Interest at the place of sale and upon such terms and in such manner as the
Partnership may determine.  The Partnership shall give each Partner at least
ten (10) days' prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale
of the Interest or other intended disposition thereof.  Such notice may be
mailed to the Partners at the addresses set forth in Schedule A, as the same
may be amended from time to time.

    5.2  Return of Capital Contributions 

    (a)  Failure to Complete and Loss of the Tax Credit.  If (i) by
December 31, 1998 (or any later date fixed by the General Partners with the
Consent of the Investment Limited Partner) less than 48 apartment units in the
Apartment Complex shall have been occupied by tenants so that the Minimum Set-
Aside Test shall have been met with all such occupancy being under executed
leases which shall have received any necessary Agency or Lender approvals and
with the forty-two (42) low-income units being rented at rental levels meeting
the requirements of the Rent Restriction Test, or (ii) the Partnership shall
fail to meet the Minimum Set-Aside Test or the Rent Restriction Test by the
close of the first year of the Credit Period and/or fails to continue to meet
any such Test at any time during the 60-month period commencing on such date,
or (iii) prior to Permanent Mortgage Commencement, (a) foreclosure proceedings
shall have commenced under any Mortgage, (b) any of the commitments of the
Lenders to provide the Mortgages and/or any subsidy financing shall be
terminated or withdrawn and not reinstated or replaced within 90 days with
terms equally or more favorable to the Investment Limited Partner or terms for
which the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner and (if required) the
approval of the applicable Lender and any Agency shall have been obtained, or
(c) any such Lender shall have irrevocably refused to make any further
advances under its respective Mortgage and such decision shall not have been
reversed or such Lender replaced within 60 days, or (iv) First Mortgage
Closing does not occur by January 30, 1997 (or any later date fixed by the
General Partners with the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner), or (v)
Permanent Mortgage Commencement shall not have been achieved by April 1, 1997
(or any later date fixed by the General Partners with the Consent of the
Investment Limited Partner), or (vi) if at any time it shall be determined by
the Service or by the Tax Accountants that as of December 31, 1996 the
Partnership had not incurred capitalizable costs with respect to the Apartment
Complex of at least ten per cent (10%) of the Partnership's reasonably
expected basis in the Apartment Complex as of December 31, 1998, or (vii) by
March 15, 1997 (or any later date fixed by the General Partners with the
Consent of the Investment Limited Partner) the Investment Limited Partner
shall not have received the Cost Certification, or (viii) the General Partners
fail at any time to fulfill their obligations under Section 6.10, , then the
General Partners shall within 15 days of the occurrence thereof, send to the
Investment Limited Partner, the Missouri Limited Partner and the Special
Limited Partner notice of such event and of their obligation to repurchase the
Interests of the Investment Limited Partner, the Missouri Limited Partner and
the Special Limited Partner by paying to the Investment Limited Partner, the
Missouri Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner an amount equal to
each such Partner's Invested Amount in the event the Investment Limited
Partner, the Missouri Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner so
requires.  If either the Investment Limited Partner, the Missouri Limited
Partner or the Special Limited Partner elects to require a repurchase of its
Interest and the payment to it of an amount equal to its Invested Amount, it
shall send notice thereof to the Partnership within 30 days after the mailing
date of the General Partners' notice, or at any time after the occurrence of
any of the foregoing if the General Partners shall not have sent such a notice
thereof,  and the General Partners shall within ninety (90) days thereafter
repurchase the Interest of such Partner by paying to such Partner an amount
equal to its Invested Amount.

    (b)  Lender Disapproval.  If any Lender shall disapprove, or fail to
give any required approval of, the Investment Limited Partner, the Missouri
Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner as a Limited Partner
hereunder within 180 days of their respective Admission Date, then the Partner
being disapproved or not approved shall, effective as of such time or such
later time as may be selected by the Partner being disapproved or not approved
(or such other time as may be specified by the Lender in its disapproval), at
the option of the Partner being disapproved or not approved (if not directed
by the Lender to withdraw), cease to be a Limited Partner.  The General
Partners shall, within 10 days of the effective date of the termination pay to
the Partner being disapproved or not approved an amount equal to its Invested
Amount plus the amount of any third party costs incurred by or on behalf of
such Partner in implementing this Section 5.2(b).

    (c)  Substitution and Indemnification.  Upon the receipt by the Invest-
ment Limited Partner, the Missouri Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited
Partner of the amount due to it pursuant to either Section 5.2(a) or
Section 5.2(b), the Interest of such Partner shall terminate, and the General
Partners shall indemnify and hold harmless such Partner from any losses,
damages, and liabilities to which such Partner (as a result of its
participation hereunder) may be subject. 

    (d)  Waiver of Repurchase Right.  The Investment Limited Partner and
the Missouri Limited Partner shall have the right to irrevocably waive their
right to have their Interest repurchased pursuant to any clause or clauses of
Section 5.2(a), or any portion thereof, and/or Section 5.2(b) at any time
during which any of such rights shall be in effect.  Such a waiver shall be
exercised by delivery to the General Partners of a written notice stating that
the rights being waived pursuant to any specified clause or clauses of Section
5.2(a), or any specified portion thereof, and/or Section 5.2(b) are thereby
waived from that date forward.

    (e)  Additional General Partner.  If the General Partners shall fail to
make on the due date therefor any payment required under Section 5.2(a) or
Section 5.2(b), time being of the essence, at any time thereafter the Special
Limited Partner shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to
cause itself or its designee to be admitted as an additional General Partner,
receiving from the pre-existing General Partners, proportionally out of their
Interests, in consideration of $10, a one per cent (1%) interest in the pro-
fits, losses, tax credits and distributions of the Partnership, with the
Special Limited Partner retaining its status as such and its economic interest
in the Partnership as the Special Limited Partner not being effected thereby. 
Upon any such admission of the Special Limited Partner as an additional
General Partner, each of the other General Partners hereby agrees that all of
its rights and powers hereunder as a General Partner shall automatically be
irrevocably delegated to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 6.13
without the necessity of any further action by any Partner.  Each Partner
hereby grants to the Special Limited Partner an irrevocable (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) power of attorney coupled with an interest to
take any action and to execute, deliver and file or record any and all docu-
ments and instruments on behalf of such Partner and the Partnership as the
Special Limited Partner may deem necessary or appropriate in order to
effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.2(e) and to allow the additional
General Partner to manage the business of the Partnership.  The admission of
the Special Limited Partner as an additional General Partner shall not relieve
any other General Partner of any of its economic obligations hereunder, and
each other General Partner shall fully indemnify and hold harmless the
additional General Partner against any and all losses, judgments, liabilities,
expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained in connection
with its capacity as a General Partner.

tenant services provided under the Contract For Dining Services or the
Contract For Personal Services.  Any Partner may engage independently or with
others in other business ventures of every nature and description including
the ownership, operation, management, syndication and development of competing
real estate; neither the Partnership nor any other Partner shall have any
rights in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived
therefrom.

    6.4  Business Management and Control; Tax Matters Partner

    Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the General Partners shall
have the exclusive right to control the business of the Partnership.  The
Investment Limited Partner and the Missouri Limited Partner shall have no
right to take part in the management or control of the business of the
Partnership or to transact any business in the name of the Partnership.  No
provision of this Agreement which makes the Consent of the Investment Limited
Partner a condition for the effectiveness of an action taken by the General
Partners is intended, and no such provision shall be construed, to give the
Investment Limited Partner any participation in the control of the Partnership
business.  Each of the Special Limited Partner, the Missouri Limited Partner
and the Investment Limited Partner hereby consents to the exercise by the
General Partners of the powers conferred on them by law and this Agreement,
and the General Partners agree to exercise control of the business of the
Partnership only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the provisions of this Section
6.4 be invoked by any General Partner or by any other Person as a defense
against or as an impediment to the ability of either the Investment Limited
Partner, the Missouri Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner to take
any action hereunder.  All Partners hereby agree that Mary Ryder Home shall
serve as the "Tax Matters Partner."  In the case of litigation, the Tax
Matters Partner is required to file suit in the United States Tax Court unless
the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner is obtained to file suit in the
United States Claims Court or the United States District Court.  Nothing
herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging the
Auditors to assist the Tax Matters Partner in discharging its duties
hereunder.  If the General Partner designated as the Tax Matters Partner
withdraws from the Partnership, the Partnership shall designate a successor
Tax Matters Partner in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections
301.6231(a)(7)-1(T) or any successor Regulation.  The Partnership shall notify
the Service of the designation of a successor Tax Matters Partner for such
year as well as for all prior years that the Withdrawn General Partner was
serving as Tax Matters Partner.

    6.5  Duties and Obligations

    (a)  The General Partners shall manage the affairs of the Partnership
to the best of their ability, shall use their best efforts to carry out the
purpose of the Partnership, and shall devote to the Partnership such time as
may be necessary for the proper performance of their duties and the business
of the Partnership.  The General Partners shall promptly take all action which
may be necessary or appropriate for the proper development, maintenance and
operation of the Apartment Complex in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, the Project Documents and applicable laws and regulations
including, without limitation, funding the Construction and Development Fee to
the extent Capital Contributions are insufficient.  The General Partners are
responsible for the management and operation of the Partnership, including the
oversight of the rent-up and operational stages of the Apartment Complex.  

    (b)  The General Partners shall use their best efforts to cause the
Partnership to generate Cash Flow for distribution to the Partners at the
maximum realizable level in view of (i) any applicable Agency and other
regulations, (ii) the Minimum Set-Aside Test, and (iii) the Rent Restriction
Test, and, if necessary, the General Partners shall also use their best
efforts to obtain approvals and implementation of appropriate adjustments in
the rental schedule of the Apartment Complex.

    (c)  The General Partners shall cause the Partnership to obtain and
keep in force, during the term of the Partnership, comprehensive casualty
insurance, including, but not limited to, fire and other risks generally
included under "extended coverage" policies, workmen's compensation and public
liability insurance in favor of the Partnership (i) with such companies and in
such amounts as shall be satisfactory to the Lenders and any applicable
governmental agency, or, if the Apartment Complex is no longer subject to
Lender or agency regulation or requirements, as shall be customary for
apartment complexes similar to the Apartment Complex, and (ii) in amounts
which shall be (A) no less than those amounts which are customary in the area
for apartment complexes such as the Apartment Complex, (B) in the case of the
"extended coverage" portion, no less than the full original replacement value
of the Apartment Complex, (C) no less than such amounts as may be reasonably
requested by the Investment Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner
from time to time, and (D) in any event, sufficient to prevent the Partnership
from becoming a co-insurer under any such policies.  No deductibles on such
policies may exceed $500.  The public liability insurance in favor of the
Partnership shall be in an amount not less than $4,000,000, of which up to
$3,000,000 may be provided under an umbrella policy. Through the Completion
Date, or such later date as may be required by any Lender or any applicable
governmental agency, the General Partners shall also cause the Partnership to
obtain and keep in force a builder's risk policy in favor of the Partnership
in an amount not less than the greater of (i) the full replacement value of
the Apartment Complex (excluding the value of the underlying land, the site
utilities and the foundations) or (ii) such other amount as shall be required
by any Agency or Lender.  Throughout the term of the Partnership, the General
Partners shall provide copies of all such policies (or binders) to the
Investment Limited Partner promptly after their receipt thereof or upon
request but no less frequently than annually.  The General Partners shall
cause the applicable insurer to name each of the Investment Limited Partner
and the Special Limited Partner as an "additional insured" on each Partnership
insurance policy.  Prior to the expiration date for any such Partnership
insurance policy, the General Partners shall deliver to the Investment Limited
Partner a copy of the comparable new or replacement policy, including all
endorsements, exhibits and riders thereto.

    (d)  The obligations of the General Partners hereunder shall be the
joint and several obligations of each General Partner.  Except as otherwise
provided in Sections 4.5(b) and 7.1, such obligations shall survive any
Withdrawal of a General Partner from the Partnership.

    (e)(1)    The General Partners shall establish and maintain reasonable
reserves to provide for working capital needs, improvements, replacements and
any other contingencies of the Partnership as required by the Lenders and any
Agency.  At a minimum, the General Partners shall cause the Partnership to
annually deposit, commencing in 1997, $8,707 from its Cash Flow into
replacement reserves; to the extent that Cash Flow (as determined before
deduction of this reserve deposit) for any year shall be insufficient to make
such deposit in full, the General Partners shall fund such shortfall from
their own funds as a Subordinated Loan.  Withdrawals and expenditures from the
replacement reserve are subject to the written approval of the Lenders and any
Agency, as required.

    (e)(2) In addition to the requirements of Section 6.5(e)(1), in order to
meet operating expenses of the Partnership which exceed operating income
available for the payment thereof, at or prior to Admission Date, the General
Partners shall cause the Partnership to deposit $136,000 into a segregated
reserve account to fund an operating deficit reserve fund (the "Working
Capital Reserve") which must remain funded until the achievement of the
Reserve Release Date.  Disbursements from or the release of the Working
Capital Reserve shall be made only with the Consent of the Investment Limited
Partner and the written approval of the Lenders and any Agency, as required.

    (f)  Each General Partner shall be bound by the Project Documents, and
no additional General Partner shall be admitted if he, she or it has not first
agreed to be bound by this Agreement (and assume the obligations of a General
Partner hereunder) and by the Project Documents to the same extent and under
the same terms as the other General Partners.

    (g)  The General Partners shall take all actions necessary to ensure
that the Investment Limited Partner receives the full amount of the Projected
Credit and that the Missouri Limited Partner receives the full amount of the
Projected Missouri Credit, including, without limitation, the rental of
apartments to appropriate tenants and the filing of annual certifications as
may be required.  In this regard, the General Partners shall, inter alia,
cause (i) the Partnership to satisfy all requirements imposed from time to
time under the Code with respect to rental levels and occupancy by qualified
tenants by the close of the first year of the Credit Period so as to permit
the Partnership to be entitled to the Tax Credit throughout the compliance
period specified in the Code, (ii) the Partnership will comply with all State
Tax Credit monitoring procedures, (iii) all 42 low-income dwelling units in
the Apartment Complex to be leased for periods of not less than six months to
persons satisfying the Rent Restriction Test, (iv) the Partnership to make all
appropriate Tax Credit elections in a timely fashion, and (v) all rental units
in the Apartment Complex to be of equal quality and all Apartment Complex
amenities, other than optional services provided under the Contract For Dining
Services or the Contract For Personal Services, to be made available to low-
income tenants on a comparable basis without separate fees.

    (h)  On or before the Admission Date, the General Partners shall
provide the Investment Limited Partner with an appraisal of the Apartment
Complex prepared by a competent independent appraiser.

    (i)  The General Partners shall (i) not store (except in compliance
with all laws, ordinances, and regulations pertaining thereto) or dispose of
any Hazardous Material at the Apartment Complex, or at or on any other Site or
Vessel owned, occupied, or operated either by any General Partner, any
Affiliate of a General Partner, or any Person for whose conduct any General
Partner is or was responsible; (ii) neither directly nor indirectly transport
or arrange for the transport of any Hazardous Material (except in compliance
with all laws, ordinances, and regulations pertaining thereto); (iii) provide
the Limited Partners with written notice (x) upon any General Partner's
obtaining knowledge of any potential or known release, or threat of release,
of any Hazardous Material at or from the Apartment Complex or any other Site
or Vessel owned, occupied, or operated by any General Partner, any Affiliate
of a General Partner or any Person for whose conduct any General Partner is or
was responsible or whose liability may result in a lien on the Apartment
Complex; (y) upon any General Partner's receipt of any notice to such effect
from any federal, state, or other governmental authority; and (z) upon any
General Partner's obtaining knowledge of any incurrence of any expense or loss
by any such governmental authority in connection with the assessment,
containment, or removal of any Hazardous Material for which expense or loss
any General Partner may be liable or for which expense or loss a lien may be
imposed on the Apartment Complex.

    (j)  The General Partners shall promptly request in writing of each
Lender that such Lender cause the Investment Limited Partner to be named as an
"interested party" in the respective Mortgage documents, so that such Lender
will notify the Investment Limited Partner of any default or other problem
under its respective Mortgage.

    (k)  The General Partners shall take all action necessary to ensure
that the Apartment Complex operates in accordance with all the rules,
regulations and limitations governing a Residential Care Facility II under the
laws of the State.

    6.6  Representations and Warranties

with all filing requirements necessary for the protection of the Investment
Limited Partner, the Missouri Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner.

    (2)  No event or proceeding has occurred or is pending or threatened
which would (a) materially adversely affect the Partnership or its properties,

the zoning applicable to the Apartment Complex; (y) labor disputes; and

material adverse effect thereon, and the Partnership has complied with all
applicable municipal and other laws, ordinances and regulations relating to

or on behalf of the Partnership will not constitute a breach or violation of,

by which such Entity or any of its properties is bound, nor constitute a
violation of any law, administrative regulation or court decree.

    (8)  Any General Partner which is a corporation (a "Corporation") has

    (a)  No General Partner nor any Affiliate thereof shall have liability
to the Partnership or to any Limited Partner for any loss suffered by the
Partnership which arises out of any action or inaction of any General Partner
or Affiliate thereof if such General Partner or Affiliate thereof in good
faith determined that such course of conduct was in the best interest of the
Partnership and such course of conduct did not constitute gross negligence or
misconduct of such General Partner or Affiliate thereof.

    (b)  A General Partner or any Affiliate thereof may be indemnified by
the Partnership against losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts
paid in settlement of any claims sustained in connection with the Partnership,
provided that all of the following conditions are met:  (i) such General Part-
ner has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the
loss, judgment, liability, expense or amount paid in settlement was in the
best interests of the Partnership; and (ii) such loss, judgment, liability,
expense or amount paid in settlement was not the result of gross negligence or
misconduct on the part of such General Partner or Affiliate thereof; and (iii)
such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of
the assets of the Partnership, and not from the Limited Partners.

    (c)  Notwithstanding the above, no General Partner or any Affiliate
thereof performing services for the Partnership or any broker-dealer shall be
indemnified for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an
alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless (i) there has
been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving secu-
rities laws violations as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves
the indemnification of such litigation costs, (ii) such claims have been
dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as
to the particular indemnitee and the court approves the indemnification of
such litigation costs or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a
settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and the court finds
that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made.  In
any claim for indemnification for federal or state securities law violations,
the party seeking indemnification shall, prior to seeking court approval for
such indemnification, place before the court the positions of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, the Massachusetts Securities Division, the Missouri
Securities Commission, the Tennessee Securities Division, and any other appli-
cable state securities administrator with respect to the issue of indemnifica-
tion for securities law violations.

    (d)  The Partnership shall not incur the cost of the portion of any
insurance, other than public liability insurance, which insures any party
against any liability as to which such party is herein prohibited from being
indemnified.

voting securities of a General Partner; (iii) is an officer, director, partner

the Limited Partners harmless from and against any and all losses, damages and
liabilities which the Partnership or any Limited Partner may incur by reason
of the (a) past, present or future actions or omissions of the General Part-
ners or any of their Affiliates constituting gross negligence or misconduct,
or (b) any liabilities to which either the Partnership or the Apartment
Complex is subject; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnification
shall not apply to (i) the Mortgages or (ii) necessary contractual obligations
incurred pursuant to Agency or Lender requirements in connection with the
operation of the Apartment Complex in the ordinary course of business.

    (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no General Partner shall be liable
to a Limited Partner or the Partnership for any act or omission for which the
Partnership is required to indemnify such General Partner under Section 6.8. 

    (c)  The General Partners shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Limited
Partners harmless from and against any claim brought or threatened against the
Limited Partners or loss (as well as from any and all attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred in connection with any such claim or loss) on account of the
presence of any Hazardous Material at the Apartment Complex.  Any claim or
loss described in the immediately preceding sentence may be defended, compro-
mised, settled, or pursued by the Limited Partners with counsel of the Limited
Partners' selection, but at the expense of General Partners.  Notwithstanding
anything else set forth herein, this indemnification shall survive the with-
drawal of any General Partner and/or the termination of this Agreement.

    6.10  Operating Deficits

    Subject to the prior written consent of any Agency (if such consent
shall be required under applicable Agency regulations), the General Partners
shall be obligated from the later to occur of (i) Permanent Mortgage
Commencement or (ii) the Admission Date to promptly advance funds to meet
operating expenses (including full payment of the Asset Management Fee, the
Missouri Asset Management Fee and reserve deposits required pursuant to
Section 6.5(e) or by any Agency or any Lender) and debt service obligations of
the Partnership which exceed operating income available for the payment
thereof.  In the event that the General Partners shall fail to make any such
advances as aforesaid, (a) the Partnership shall utilize amounts (the "Applied
Amounts")  otherwise payable to the General Partners or Affiliates thereof
under Section 6.12 and/or Article X to meet the obligations of the General
Partners pursuant to this Section 6.10, with such utilization of Applied
Amounts constituting payment and satisfaction of the corresponding amounts
payable to the General Partners or Affiliates thereof under Section 6.12
and/or Article X, with the proceeds thereof being applied to such obligations,
and with the obligation of the Partnership to make such payments to the
General Partners or Affiliates thereof pursuant to Section 6.12 and/or Article
X shall be deemed satisfied to the extent thereof and (b) the Special Limited
Partner shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to cause it
or one or more of its designees to be admitted to the Partnership as
additional General Partner(s).  An additional General Partner so admitted
shall automatically, without the need for any further action by any Partner,
become the Managing General Partner and be delegated all of the power and
authority of all of the General Partners pursuant to Section 6.13, and each
Partner hereby grants to any such additional General Partner a power of
attorney, coupled with an interest and irrevocable to the extent permitted by
law, to execute and deliver any and all instruments and documents which it
believes to be necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the purposes of
this Section 6.10 and to manage the business of the Partnership.  The
admission of an additional General Partner shall not relieve any other General
Partner of any of its obligations hereunder, and each other General Partner
shall fully indemnify and hold harmless each additional General Partner from
and against any and all losses, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in
settlement of any claims sustained in connection with its capacity as a
General Partner.  For the purpose of this Section 6.10, all expenses shall be
paid on a sixty (60)-day current basis.  Moreover, the General Partners may in
their sole discretion at any time advance funds to the Partnership to pay
operating expenses of the Partnership in order to facilitate the Partnership's
compliance with the Rent Restriction Test.  All advances pursuant to this
Section 6.10 (including any Applied Amounts) shall be Subordinated Loans
repayable with interest at the Applicable Federal Rate in accordance with the
provisions of Article X.  The form and provisions of all Subordinated Loans
shall conform to applicable rules and regulations.  

    6.11  Obligation to Complete the Construction of the Apartment Complex

    The General Partners shall complete the construction of the Apartment
Complex substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications approved
by any Agency and the Lenders and all requirements necessary to obtain the
required certificates of occupancy for dwelling units, or cause the same to be
completed, in a good and workmanlike manner, free and clear of all mechanics',
materialmen's or similar liens, and shall equip the Apartment Complex or cause
the same to be equipped with all necessary and appropriate fixtures, equipment
and articles of personal property, and cause all necessary certificates of
occupancy for all apartment units in the Apartment Complex to be obtained, all
in accordance with the Project Documents.  If the proceeds of the Mortgages,
the net rental income, if any, of the Apartment Complex generated prior to the
later of Permanent Mortgage Commencement or the Admission Date and which is
permitted by each Agency and the Lenders to be utilized for any of the
purposes hereinafter set forth, the Capital Contributions of the Limited
Partners, the Capital Contributions of the General Partners in the amounts set
forth on Schedule A as of the Admission Date, and any insurance proceeds
arising out of casualties prior to the later of Permanent Mortgage
Commencement or the Admission Date as available from time to time are
insufficient to (i) acquire and complete the construction of the Apartment
Complex and satisfy all other obligations, all as provided in the first
sentence of this Section 6.11, (ii) pay the Construction and Development Fee
and interest thereon, (iii) arrive at Permanent Mortgage Commencement in
conformity with the Project Documents, (iv) discharge all Partnership
liabilities and obligations arising out of any casualty giving rise to any
such insurance proceeds, and (v) provide for all other payments and expenses
required to be made or incurred through the later of Permanent Mortgage
Commencement or the Admission Date, including the funding of any reserves
required hereunder or under any other Project Document, the General Partners
shall be responsible for and obligated to pay such deficiencies and shall, to
the extent permitted under the Project Documents and any applicable
regulations or requirements of the Lenders and any Agency, be reimbursed at or
prior to the later of Permanent Mortgage Commencement or the Admission Date
only out of the proceeds designated in this sentence available from time to
time after payment of all costs described in this sentence.  Any amounts not
reimbursed through Permanent Mortgage Commencement or from the proceeds of the
Capital Contribution of the Limited Partners as provided in Section 5.1 shall
not be reimbursable or otherwise change the Interest of any Person in the
Partnership but shall be borne by the General Partners; provided, however, to
the extent any such amounts are properly included in the Partnership's
Qualified Basis and result in an increase in the amount of Tax Credit
allocated and available to the Partnership over and above the amount of Tax
Credit required in order to achieve State Designation ("Includable Items"),
the General Partners shall make an additional Capital Contribution in the
amount of the Includable Items and the Partnership shall utilize the proceeds
of such additional Capital Contribution to pay the Includable Items.  In the
event that the General Partners shall fail to fund any such deficiency as
required by this Section 6.11, amounts otherwise payable as the Annual
Partnership Management Fee, the Management Incentive Fee or distributable to
the General Partners pursuant to Article X shall be applied by the Partnership
to meet such obligation.  Any such application of funds as described in the
immediately preceding sentence shall constitute a payment of the amount of the
Fee or such other item which such funds had been earmarked to pay, and the
obligation of the General Partners to advance such amount under this
Section 6.11 shall be satisfied to the extent of such application.  

    6.12  Certain Payments to the General Partners and Others 

    (a)  In consideration of their consultation, advice and other services
in connection with the construction and development of the Apartment Complex,
the Partnership agreed to pay to the General Partners (or their designee) a
construction and development fee (the "Construction and Development Fee") in
the principal amount of $546,019 which fee shall be earned in full as of the
Completion Date.  The Construction and Development Fee and any interest
accrued thereon shall be paid at the Admission Date from the proceeds of
General Partner Capital Contributions.  Any portion of the Construction and
Development Fee which shall not have been paid as of the date which is six
months after it shall have been earned shall accrue interest at the Applicable
Federal Rate in effect at the time earned from the date earned through the
date of payment.  

    (b)  The Partnership shall pay to BCAMLP or an Affiliate thereof a fee
(the "Asset Management Fee") commencing in 1997 for its services in connection
with the Partnership's accounting matters relating to the Investment Limited
Partner and assisting with the preparation of tax returns and the reports
required by Section 12.7 in the annual amount of the lesser of (i) $3,500 or
(ii) one-half of one per cent (0.5%) of the Aggregate Cost of the Apartment
Complex.  The Asset Management Fee shall be payable from Cash Flow in the
manner and priority set forth in Section 10.2(a).  To the extent Cash Flow in
any year is insufficient to pay the entire amount of the Asset Management Fee,
the amount of such deficiency shall be paid directly by the General Partners
to BCAMLP or an Affiliate thereof from their own funds.

    (c)  The Partnership shall pay to the General Partners a non-cumulative
fee (the "Annual Partnership Management Fee") commencing in 1997 for their
services in connection with the administration of the day to day business of
the Partnership in an annual amount equal to the lesser of (i) $5,000 per
annum or (ii) the excess of (A) one-half of one-percent (0.5%) of the
Aggregate Cost of the Apartment Complex over (B) the amount of the Asset
Management Fee attributable to such year.  The Annual Partnership Management
Fee for each fiscal year of the Partnership shall be payable from Cash Flow in
the manner and priority set forth in Section 10.2(a).

    (d)  The Partnership shall pay to the General Partners a non-cumulative
fee (the "Management Incentive Fee") commencing in 1997 for their services in
planning, supervising and developing a marketing program for the Apartment
Complex in an amount equal to 60% of available Cash Flow which will be paid in
the manner and priority set forth in Section 10.2(a).

    (e)  The Partnership shall pay to the Missouri Limited Partner or an
Affiliate thereof a fee (the "Missouri Asset Management Fee") commencing in
1997 for its services in connection with the Partnership's accounting matters
relating to the Missouri Limited Partner and assisting with the preparation of
tax returns and reports required by Section 12.7 in the annual amount of the
lesser of (i) $1,500 or (ii) one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Aggregate
Cost of the Apartment Complex.  The Missouri Asset Management Fee shall be
payable from Cash Flow in the manner and priority set forth in Section
10.2(a).  To the extent Cash Flow in any year is insufficient to pay the
entire amount of the Missouri Asset Management Fee, the amount of such
deficiency shall be paid directly by the General Partners to the Missouri
Limited Partner or an Affiliate thereof from their own funds.

    6.13  Delegation of General Partner Authority

    If there shall be more than one General Partner serving hereunder, each
General Partner may from time to time, by an instrument in writing, delegate
all or any of his powers or duties hereunder to another General Partner or
General Partners.

    Every contract, deed, mortgage, lease and other instrument executed by
any General Partner shall be conclusive evidence in favor of every Person
relying thereon or claiming thereunder that at the time of the delivery
thereof (a) the Partnership was in existence, (b) this Agreement had not been
amended in any manner so as to restrict the delegation of authority among
General Partners (except as shown in certificates or other instruments duly
filed in the Filing Office) and (c) the execution and delivery of such instru-
ment was duly authorized by the General Partners.  Any Person may always rely
on a certificate addressed to him and signed by any General Partner hereunder:  

    (1)  As to who are the General Partners or Limited Partners hereunder;  

    (2)  As to the existence or nonexistence of any fact which constitutes
a condition precedent to acts by the General Partners or in any other manner
germane to the affairs of the Partnership;  

    (3)  As to who is authorized to execute and deliver any instrument or
document of the Partnership;  

    (4)  As to the authenticity of any copy of this Agreement, the
Certificate and amendments thereto; or  

    (5)  As to any act or failure to act by the Partnership or as to any
other matter whatsoever involving the Partnership or any Partner.


ARTICLE VII

Withdrawal of a General Partner; New General Partners

    7.1  Withdrawal

    (a)  No General Partner shall Withdraw from the Partnership (other than
by reason of death or adjudication of incompetence or insanity) or sell,
assign or encumber his or its interest without the Consent of the Investment
Limited Partner and all the other General Partners, except that if the Special
Limited Partner or a designee becomes a General Partner pursuant to Section
4.5(b) or Section 5.2(e), it shall not require the consent of any other
General Partner to transfer all or any portion of its interest as a General
Partner, other than as may be required under the Uniform Act.  In the event of
any Withdrawal by a General Partner in violation of this Section 7.1, such
General Partner, in addition to being subject to any and all other legal
remedies which may be pursued by the Partners, shall forfeit to the Special
Limited Partner or its designee, such General Partner's Interest and all
unpaid fees from the Partnership and shall remain liable for all of the With-
drawing General Partner's obligations under this Agreement.  In addition, upon
such Withdrawal and transfer, the Special Limited Partner or its designee
shall automatically become a General Partner without further action by the
Withdrawing General Partner or any other Partner, and each Partner hereby
consents to such transfer and to the admission of the Special Limited Partner
or its designee as a General Partner in such a situation.  Such transfer shall
occur automatically upon such Withdrawal without further action by such
Withdrawing General Partner.

    (b)  The General Partners must have a net worth equal to at least
$50,000, of which not less than $25,000 constitutes liquid assets.  If the
General Partners shall at any time fail to meet the requirements of this
Section 7.1(b), then they shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the
Partnership in violation of the provisions of this Section 7.1 and shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 7.1(a).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the provisions of the Section 7.1(b) shall not apply to the Special Limited
Partner or its designee in the event it becomes the sole General Partner.  

    7.2  Obligation to Continue

    Upon the Withdrawal of a General Partner, the remaining General Partners
shall have the right and obligation to continue the business of the Partner-
ship employing its assets and name, all as contemplated by the Uniform Act. 
Within 30 days after they obtain knowledge of the Withdrawal of a General
Partner, the remaining General Partners shall notify the Limited Partners of
such Withdrawal.

    7.3  Withdrawal of All General Partners

    If, following the Withdrawal of a General Partner, there is no remaining
General Partner, the Investment Limited Partner, the Special Limited Partner
and the Missouri Limited Partner may elect to reconstitute the Partnership and
continue the business of the Partnership for the balance of the term specified
in Section 2.4 by selecting a successor General Partner.  The Missouri Limited
Partner hereby delegates to the Special Limited Partner the right to act on
its behalf in connection with this paragraph and hereby grants the Special
Limited Partner a power of attorney to act on its behalf in connection with
this Section 7.3.  If the Investment Limited Partner and the Special Limited
Partner, acting on its own behalf and on behalf of the Missouri Limited
Partner, elect to reconstitute the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7.3
and admit the designated successor General Partner, the relationship among the
then Partners shall be governed by this Agreement.

    7.4  Interest of General Partner After Permitted Withdrawal

    In the event of the Withdrawal of a General Partner not in violation of
Section 7.1 and except as otherwise provided in Section 4.5(b), the With-
drawing General Partner hereby covenants and agrees to transfer to the
remaining General Partners or to a successor General Partner selected in
accordance with Section 7.3, as the case may be, such portion of the With-
drawing General Partner's Interest as such remaining or successor General
Partners may designate, such transfer to be made in consideration of the pay-
ment by the transferee of either the agreed value of such Interest, or if such
value is not agreed to, the fair market value of such Interest as determined
by a committee of three qualified real estate appraisers, one selected by the
Withdrawing General Partner, one selected by the transferee and a third
selected by the other two.  The portion of the Withdrawing General Partner's
Interest designated to be transferred in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 7.4 shall be sufficient to ensure the continued treatment of the
Partnership as a partnership under the Code and as a limited partnership under
the Uniform Act, and, for the purposes of Article X, shall be deemed to be
effective as of the date of Withdrawal, but the Partnership shall not make any
distributions to the designated transferee until the transfer has been made. 
Any holder of any portion of the Interest of a Withdrawing General Partner
which is not designated to be transferred to the remaining or successor
General Partners pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.4 shall become
an Additional Limited Partner but (i) with the same share of the profits,
losses, tax credits, Cash Flow and other distributions to which the holder of
such Interest was entitled when held as a General Partner Interest, and (ii)
shall not participate in the votes or Consents of the Investment Limited
Partner hereunder.  The admission of any successor or additional General
Partner shall be subject to the consent of each Agency (if required), the
consent of each Lender (if required) and the Consent of the Investment Limited
Partner.


ARTICLE VIII

Transferability of Limited Partner Interests

    8.1  Assignments

    (a)  Except by operation of law (including the laws of descent and dis-
tribution) or Section 8.1(b), no Limited Partner may assign all or any part of
its Interest without the written consent of the General Partners, the giving
or withholding of which is exclusively within their discretion. 

    (b)  A Limited Partner, without the consent of the General Partners,
may assign to any Person all or any portion of its economic benefits of
ownership of its Interest; provided, however, that such assignment shall not
be binding on the Partnership until there shall have been filed with the
Partnership by registered mail certified copies of an executed and
acknowledged assignment and the written acceptance by the assignee of all the
terms and provisions of this Agreement; if such assignment and acceptance are
not so filed, the Partnership need not recognize such assignment for any
purpose.  An assignee of a Limited Partner who does not become a Substituted
Limited Partner shall have, and shall only have, the right to receive the
share of allocations and distributions of the Partnership to which the
assigning Limited Partner would have been entitled with respect to the
Interest (or portion thereof) so assigned if no such assignment had been made
by such Limited Partner.  Any assigning Limited Partner whose permitted
assignee becomes a Substituted Limited Partner shall thereupon cease to be a
Limited Partner and shall no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a
Limited Partner.  Where the assignee does not become a Substituted Limited
Partner, the Partnership shall recognize such assignment not later than the
last day of the calendar month following receipt of notice of assignment and
all documentation required in connection therewith.

    (c)  Every assignee of a Limited Partner Interest (or any portion
thereof) who desires to make a further assignment of his Interest shall be
subject to all the provisions of this Article VIII.

    8.2  Substituted Limited Partner

    No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute an assignee as
Limited Partner in its place.  Subject to Section 8.3, the General Partners
may, however, in their sole discretion, permit an assignee to become a
Substituted Limited Partner.  The consent of the General Partners to an
assignment of a Limited Partner Interest under Section 8.1 shall not, in and
of itself, constitute permission under this Section 8.2.

    Any Substituted Limited Partner shall execute such instrument or
instruments as shall be required by the General Partners to signify the
agreement of such Substituted Limited Partner to be bound by all the
provisions of this Agreement and shall pay the Partnership's reasonable legal
fees and filing costs in connection with its substitution as a Limited
Partner.

    8.3  Restrictions

    (a)  No Disposition may be made if such Disposition would violate
Section 13.1.

    (b)  In no event shall all or any part of a Limited Partner Interest be
Disposed of to a minor (other than to a descendant by reason of death) or to
an incompetent. 

    (c)  The General Partners may, in addition to any other requirement they
may impose, require as a condition of any Disposition that the transferor
(i) assume all costs incurred by the Partnership in connection therewith and
(ii) furnish them with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to counsel to the
Partnership that such Disposition complies with applicable federal and state
securities laws. 

    (d)  Any sale, exchange, transfer or other Disposition in contravention
of any of the provisions of this Section 8.3 shall be void and ineffectual and
shall not bind or be recognized by the Partnership.


ARTICLE IX

Borrowings

         All Partnership borrowings shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement including, but not limited to, the restrictions of Section 6.2, and
may be made from any source, including Partners and their Affiliates.  Any
Partnership borrowings from any Partner shall be subject to the prior written
consent of each Agency (if required under applicable Agency regulations or
requirements) and each Lender (if required in its Mortgage documentation).  If
any Partner shall lend any monies to the Partnership, the amount of any such
loan shall not be an increase of such Partner's Capital Contribution.  If any
Partner shall so lend monies, such loans shall be an obligation of the
Partnership and (except for advances required by Section 6.11 and Subordinated
Loans) shall be repayable to such Partner on the same basis and with the same
rate of interest as would be applicable to a comparable loan to the
Partnership from a third party.


ARTICLE X

Profits, Losses, Tax Credits, Distributions and Capital Accounts

    10.1  Profits, Losses and Tax Credits

    (a)  Subject to Section 10.1(c) and Section 10.4 hereof, for each
Partnership fiscal year or portion thereof, (i) all profits, tax-exempt
income, losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable expenditures and Tax Credits
incurred or accrued on or after the Commencement Date, other than those
arising from a Capital Transaction, shall be allocated 99% to the Investment
Limited Partner and 1% to the General Partners and (ii) all Missouri Low-
Income Housing Tax Credits allocated on or after the Commencement Date shall
be allocated 100% to the Missouri Limited Partner.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing however, to the extent that the Accountants, the Auditors, the Tax
Accountants and/or the Service reach the conclusion that the allocation of
100% of the Missouri Low-Income Housing Tax Credits to the Missouri Limited
Partner could lead to the allocation or distribution of any Partnership item
in a ratio different from that otherwise provided herein, the allocation of
the Missouri Low-Income Housing Tax Credits shall be altered so as to
eliminate any such effect upon the allocation or distribution of any other
Partnership item.

    (b)  Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Article, all
profits and losses arising from a Capital Transaction shall be allocated to
the Partners as follows:  

As to profits:

    First, an amount of profit equal to the aggregate negative balances (if
any) in the Capital Accounts of all Partners having negative balance Capital
Accounts shall be allocated to such Partners in proportion to their negative
Capital Account balances until all such Capital Accounts shall have zero
balances; and

    Second, an amount of profits shall be allocated to each of the Partners
until the positive balance in the Capital Account of each Partner equals, as
nearly as possible, the amount of cash which would be distributed to such
Partner if the aggregate amount in the Capital Accounts of all Partners were
cash available to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Clauses
Second, Third, Sixth Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh of Section
10.2(b).

As to losses:

    First, an amount of losses equal to the aggregate positive balances (if
any) in the Capital Accounts of all Partners having positive balance Capital
Accounts shall be allocated to such Partners in proportion to their positive
Capital Account balances until all such Capital Accounts shall have zero
balances; provided, however, that if the amount of losses to be so allocated
is less than the sum of the positive balances in the Capital Accounts of those
Partners having positive balances in their Capital Accounts, then such losses
shall be allocated to the Partners in such proportions and in such amounts so
that the Capital Account balances of each Partner shall equal, as nearly as
possible, the amount such Partner would receive if an amount equal to the
excess of (a) the sum of all Partners' balances in their Capital Accounts
computed prior to the allocation of losses under this clause First over
(b) the aggregate amount of losses to be allocated to the Partners pursuant to
this clause First were distributed to the Partners in accordance with the
provisions of Clauses Second, Third, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and
Eleventh  of Section 10.2(b).; and

    Second, the balance, if any, of such losses shall be allocated 1% to the
General Partners and 99% to the Investment Limited Partner.

    (c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 10.1(a) and
10.1(b), in no event shall any losses be allocated to the Investment Limited
Partner, the Missouri Limited Partner, the Special Limited Partner or any
additional General Partner admitted pursuant to Section 4.5(b) or Section
5.2(e), if and to the extent that such allocation would cause, as of the end
of the Partnership taxable year, the negative balance in such Partner's
Capital Account to exceed such Partner's share of Partnership Minimum Gain
plus such Partner's share, if any, of Partner Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain. 
Any losses which are not allocated to a Partner by virtue of the application
of this Section 10.1(c) shall be allocated to the General Partners, excluding
any General Partner admitted pursuant to Section 4.5(b) or Section 5.2(e). 
For purposes of this Section 10.1(c), a Partner's Capital Account shall be
treated as reduced by Qualified Income Offset Items.

    10.2  Cash Distributions Prior to Dissolution

    (a)  Cash Flow

    Subject to Lender and Agency approval (if required), Cash Flow for each
fiscal year or portion thereof of the Partnership shall be applied in the
following priority:

    First, $5,000 to the pro rata payment of the Asset Management Fee for
such year and the Missouri Asset Management Fee for such year;

    Second, an annual payment in an amount to be determined by the General
Partners may be applied to reduce the outstanding balance of the First
Mortgage;

    Third, to the repayment of the principal amount of any Subordinated
Loans;

    Fourth, to the payment of the Annual Partnership Management Fee for such
year; 

    Fifth, 60% of remaining Cash Flow shall be applied toward the payment of
the Management Incentive Fee for such year; and

    Sixth, the balance thereof, if any, shall be distributed annually,
within 75 days after the end of the fiscal year, 20% to the Investment Limited
Partner and 80% to the General Partners; provided, however, that during such
time as any Agency and Lender regulations are applicable to the Apartment
Complex, the total amount of Cash Flow which may be so distributed to the
Partners in respect to any fiscal year shall not exceed such amounts as any
Agency and Lender regulations permit to be distributed.

    (b)  Distributions of other than Cash Flow

    Prior to dissolution, if the General Partners shall determine from time
to time that cash is available for distribution from a Capital Transaction,
such cash shall be applied or distributed as follows:  

    First, to the payment of all matured debts and liabilities of the Part-
nership (including, but not limited to, all expenses of the Partnership inci-
dent to the Capital Transaction and costs, fees, and commissions incident to
the sale of the Apartment Complex), excluding (i) debts and liabilities of the
Partnership to Partners or their Affiliates and (ii) all unpaid fees owing to
the General Partners or their Affiliates and; to the establishment of any
reserves which the General Partners and the Accountants shall deem reasonably
necessary for contingent, unmatured or unforeseen liabilities or obligations
of the Partnership;

    Second, to the payment to the Investment Limited Partner of the full
amount (including interest) of any Federal Credit Recovery Loans;

    Third, to the payment of the Missouri Limited Partner of the full amount
(including interest) of any Missouri Credit Recovery Loans;

    Fourth, to the repayment of any Subordinated Loans, including the
interest, if any, thereon;

    Fifth, to the repayment of any then-unpaid debts and liabilities owed to
Partners or Affiliates thereof by the Partnership for Partnership obligations
(exclusive of Federal Credit Recovery Loans, Missouri Credit Recovery Loans
and Subordinated Loans) to any of them; provided, however, that any debts or
obligations to be repaid to the Investment Limited Partner, the Special
Limited Partner or Affiliate of either of them pursuant to this Clause Fifth
shall be repaid prior to the repayment of any such debts or obligations to any
other Partner or Affiliate thereof;

    Sixth, to the Investment Limited Partner in an amount equal to the
amount of all federal, state and local taxes attributable to such Capital
Transaction;

    Seventh, to the payment to the General Partners of their respective
Invested Amounts minus any prior distributions made to them under this Clause
Seventh or pursuant to Section 10.2(c), but never an amount less than zero;

    Eighth, to the payment of the Investment Limited Partner and the Special
Limited Partner of their respective Invested Amounts minus any prior
distributions made to them under this Clause Eighth, but never an amount less
than zero;

    Ninth, to the payment of the Missouri Limited Partner of its Invested
Amount minus any prior distributions made to it under this Clause Ninth, but
never an amount less than zero;

    Tenth, except in the case of a Capital Transaction which constitutes a
refinancing, to each Partner in an amount equal to the positive balance, if
any, in each Partners' Capital Account, after the payments described in Clause
First through Ninth of this Section 10.2(b) and the allocations in
Section 10.1(b) relating to these payments; and

    Eleventh, any balance 24.99% to the Investment Limited Partner, .01% to
the Special Limited Partner, 74.99% to the General Partners and .01% to the
Missouri Limited Partner.

    (c)  Special Distribution

    The Partnership shall make a special cash distribution to the General
Partners which will be paid $49,999 from the proceeds of the Second
Installment and $10,000 from the proceeds of the Third Installment.  The
special cash distribution shall be treated as a distribution pursuant to
Section 731 of the Code.

    10.3  Distributions Upon Dissolution

    (a)  Upon dissolution and termination, after payment of, or adequate
provision for, the debts and obligations of the Partnership, the remaining
assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance
with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts after taking into account
all Capital Account adjustments for the Partnership taxable year, including
adjustments to Capital Accounts pursuant to Sections 10.1(b) and 10.3(b).  In
the event that a General Partner or the Additional Limited Partner has a
negative balance in its Capital Account following the liquidation of the Part-
nership or such Partner's Interest, after taking into account all Capital
Account adjustments for the Partnership taxable year in which such liquidation
occurs, such Partner shall pay to the Partnership in cash an amount equal to
the negative balance in such Partner's Capital Account.  Such payment shall be
made by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after the
date of such liquidation) and shall, upon liquidation of the Partnership, be
paid to recourse creditors of the Partnership or distributed to other Partners
in accordance with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts.

    (b)  With respect to assets distributed in kind to the Partners in
liquidation or otherwise, (i) any unrealized appreciation or unrealized
depreciation in the values of such assets shall be deemed to be profits and
losses realized by the Partnership immediately prior to the liquidation or
other distribution event; and (ii) such profits and losses shall be allocated
to the Partners in accordance with Section 10.1(b), and any property so
distributed shall be treated as a distribution of an amount in cash equal to
the excess of such fair market value over the outstanding principal balance of
and accrued interest on any debt by which the property is encumbered.  For the
purposes of this Section 10.3(b), "unrealized appreciation" or "unrealized
depreciation" shall mean the difference between the fair market value of such
assets, taking into account the fair market value of the associated financing
(but subject to Section 7701(g) of the Code), and the Partnership's adjusted
basis for such assets as determined under Regulation Section 1.704-1(b).  This
Section 10.3(b) is merely intended to provide a rule for allocating unrealized
gains and losses upon liquidation or other distribution event, and nothing
contained in this Section 10.3(b) or elsewhere herein is intended to treat or
cause such distributions to be treated as sales for value.  The fair market
value of such assets shall be determined by an appraiser to be selected by the
General Partners with the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner.

    10.4  Special Provisions

    (a)  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all profits, tax-
exempt income, losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable expenditures, tax 
credits and cash distributions shared by a class of Partners shall be shared
by each such Partner in such class in the ratio of such Partner's paid-in
Capital Contribution to the paid-in Class Contribution of the class of
Partners of which such Partner is a member.  

    (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article X:

    (i)  If (a) the Partnership incurs recourse obligations or Partner
Non-Recourse Debt (including, without limitation, Subordinated Loans) or
(b) the Partnership incurs losses from extraordinary events which are not
recovered from insurance or otherwise (collectively "Recourse Obligations") in
respect of any Partnership taxable year, then the calculation and allocation
of profits and losses shall be adjusted as follows:  first, an amount of
deductions attributable to the Recourse Obligations shall be allocated to the
General Partners; and second, the balance of such deductions shall be
allocated as provided in Section 10.1(a).

    (ii) If any profit arises from the sale or other disposition of any
Partnership asset which shall be treated as ordinary income under the
depreciation recapture provisions of the Code, then the full amount of such
ordinary income shall be allocated among the Partners in the proportions that
the Partnership deductions from the depreciation giving rise to such recapture
were actually allocated.  In the event that subsequently-enacted provisions of
the Code result in other recapture income, no allocation of such recapture
income shall be made to any Partner who has not received the benefit of those
items giving rise to such other recapture income.

    (iii)     If the Partnership shall receive any purchase money indebtedness
in partial payment of the purchase price of the Apartment Complex and such
indebtedness is distributed to the Partners pursuant to the provisions of
Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.3, the distributions of the cash portion of such
purchase price and the principal amount of such purchase money indebtedness
hereunder shall be allocated among the Partners in the following manner:  On
the basis of the sum of the principal amount of the purchase money
indebtedness and cash payments received on the sale (net of amounts required
to pay Partnership obligations and fund reasonable reserves), there shall be
calculated the percentage of the total net proceeds distributable to each
class of Partners based on Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.3, as applicable,
treating cash payments and purchase money indebtedness principal inter-
changeably for this purpose, and the respective classes shall receive such
respective percentages of the net cash purchase price and purchase money
principal.  Payments on such purchase money indebtedness retained by the
Partnership shall be distributed in accordance with the respective portions of
principal allocated to the respective classes of Partners in accordance with
the preceding sentence, and if any such purchase money indebtedness shall be
sold, the sale proceeds shall be allocated in the same proportion.

    (iv) Income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any asset which
has a variation between its basis computed in accordance with Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and its basis computed for federal income tax
purposes shall be shared among the Partners so as to take account of such
variation in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the
Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).   

    (v)  The terms "profits" and "losses" used in this Agreement shall mean
income and losses, and each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit
entering into the computation thereof, as determined in accordance with the
accounting methods followed by the Partnership and computed in accordance with
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).  Profits and losses for federal
income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner as set forth in this
Article X, except as provided in Section 10.4(b)(iv).

    (vi) If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during a
Partnership taxable year, each Partner will be allocated items of income and
gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in proportion to, and
to the extent of, an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease
in Partnership Minimum Gain during the year, before any other allocation of
Partnership items for such taxable year.  A Partner shall not be subject to
this mandatory allocation of income or gain to the extent that any of the
exceptions provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(2)-(5) applies. 
All allocations pursuant to this Section 10.4(b)(vi) shall be in accordance
with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f).  This provision is a "minimum
gain chargeback" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.704-2(f) and
shall be construed so as to be interpreted as such.

    (vii)     If there is a net decrease in Partner Non-Recourse Debt Minimum
Gain during a Partnership taxable year, then each Partner with a share of the
minimum gain attributable to such debt at the beginning of such year will be
allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary,
subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net
decrease in Partner Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain during the year.  A Partner
is not subject to this Partner Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain chargeback to
the extent that any of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-2(h)(4) applied consistently with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-
2(f)(2)-(5) applies.  Such allocations shall be made in a manner consistent
with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) under
Section 704 of the Code.  

    (viii)    If a Limited Partner unexpectedly receives (a) an allocation
of loss or deduction or expenditures described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the
Code made (1) pursuant to Section 704(e)(2) of the Code to a donee of an
Interest, (2) pursuant to Section 706(d) of the Code as the result of a change
in any Partner's Interest, or (3) pursuant to Regulation
Section 1.751-1(b)(2)(ii) as a result of a distribution by the Partnership of
unrealized receivables or inventory items or (b) a distribution, and such
allocation and/or distribution would cause the negative balance in such
Partner's Capital Account to exceed (i) such Partner's share of Partnership
Minimum Gain plus (ii) the amount of such Partner's obligation, if any, to
restore a negative balance in such Partner's Capital Account plus (iii) such
Partner's share of Partner Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain with respect to
which such Partner or a Related Person to such Partner bears the Economic Risk
of Loss, then such Partner shall be allocated items of income and gain in an
amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such negative balance as quickly as
possible.  For purposes of this Section 10.4(b)(viii), a Partner's Capital
Account shall be treated as reduced by Qualified Income Offset Items.

    (ix) In the event that any fee payable to any General Partner or any
Affiliate thereof shall instead be determined to be a non-deductible,
non-capitalizable distribution from the Partnership to a Partner for federal
income tax purposes, then there shall be allocated to such General Partner an
amount of gross income equal to the amount of such distribution.

    (x)  In applying the provisions of Article X with respect to distri-
butions and allocations, the following ordering of priorities shall apply:

    (1) Capital Accounts shall be deemed to be reduced by Qualified Income
Offset Items.

    (2) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by distributions of Cash Flow
under Section 10.2(a).

    (3) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by distributions from Capital
Transactions under Section 10.2(b).

    (4) Capital Accounts shall be increased by any minimum gain chargeback
under Section 10.4(b)(vi) or 10.4(b)(vii).

    (5) Capital Accounts shall be increased by any qualified income offset
under Section 10.4(b)(viii).

    (6) Capital Accounts shall be increased by allocations of profits under
Section 10.1(a).

    (7) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by allocations of losses under
Section 10.1(a).

    (8) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by allocations of losses under
Section 10.1(b).

    (9) Capital Accounts shall be increased by allocations of profits under
Section 10.1(b).

    (xi) To the maximum extent permitted under the Code, allocations of
profits and losses shall be modified so that the Partners' Capital Accounts
reflect the amounts they would have reflected if adjustments required by
Sections 10.4(b)(vi), 10.4(b)(vii) and 10.4(b)(viii) had not occurred. 

    10.5  Authority of the General Partners to Vary Allocations to Preserve
             and Protect the Partners' Intent

    (a)  It is the intent of the Partners that each Partner's distributive
share of profits, tax-exempt income, losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable
expenditures and credits (and items thereof) shall be determined and allocated
in accordance with this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by Section
704(b) of the Code.  In order to preserve and protect the determinations and
allocations provided for in this Agreement, the General Partners are hereby 
authorized and directed to allocate profits, tax-exempt income, losses, non-
deductible non-capitalizable expenditures and credits (and items thereof)
arising in any year differently than otherwise provided for in this Agreement
to the extent that allocating profits, tax-exempt income, losses, non-
deductible non-capitalizable expenditures or credits (or any item thereof) in
the manner provided for herein would cause the determinations and allocations
of each Partner's distributive share of profits, tax-exempt income, losses,
non-deductible non-capitalizable expenditures or credits (or any item thereof)
not to be permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder.  Any allocation made pursuant to this Section 10.5
shall be deemed to be a complete substitute for any allocation otherwise
provided for in this Agreement, and no amendment of this Agreement or approval
of any Partner shall be required.

    (b)  In making any allocation (the "New Allocation") under Sec-
tion 10.5(a), the General Partners are authorized to act only after having
been advised in writing by the Tax Accountants that, under Section 704(b) of
the Code, (i) the New Allocation is necessary, and (ii) the New Allocation is
the minimum modification of the allocations otherwise provided for in this
Agreement necessary in order to assure that, either in the then-current year
or in any preceding year, each Partner's distributive share of profits, tax-
exempt income, losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable expenditures and
credits (or any item thereof) is determined and allocated in accordance with
this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code
and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

    (c)  If the General Partners are required by Section 10.5(a) to make any
New Allocation in a manner less favorable to the Limited Partners than is
otherwise provided for herein, then the General Partners are authorized and
directed, only after having been advised in writing by the Tax Accountants
that such an allocation is permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code, to allo-
cate profits, tax-exempt income, losses, non-deductible non-capitalizable
expenditures and credits (and any item thereof) arising in later years in such
manner so as to bring the allocations of profits, tax-exempt income, losses,
non-deductible non-capitalizable expenditures and credits (and each item
thereof) to the Limited Partners as nearly as possible to the allocations
thereof otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.

    (d)  New Allocations made by the General Partners under Section 10.5(a)
and Section 10.5(c) in reliance upon the advice of the Tax Accountants shall
be deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary obligation of the General Part-
ners to the Partnership and the Limited Partners, and no such allocation shall
give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Limited Partner.


ARTICLE XI

Management Agent

    A.   Subject to Article XI.C., the General Partners shall have the
exclusive right to engage the Management Agent (which may be a General Partner
or an Affiliate thereof if approved by each Agency and each Lender whose
approval is required) to manage the Apartment Complex pursuant to the
Management Agreement.  The Management Agent shall receive a Management Fee of
those amounts payable from time to time by the Partnership to the Management
Agent for management services in accordance with a management contract
approved by each Agency and each Lender whose approval is required or, if the
amount of the Management Fee is not subject to Agency regulation or Lender
approval, in accordance with a reasonable and competitive fee arrangement, but
in no event shall the Management Fee exceed eight per cent (8%) of the gross
rental income from the Apartment Complex without the Consent of the Investment
Limited Partner.  From and after the Admission Date, the Partnership shall not
enter into any Management Agreement or modify or extend any Management
Agreement unless (i) the General Partners shall have obtained the prior
written consent of the Special Limited Partner to the identity of the
Management Agent and the terms of the Management Agreement or the modification
or extension thereof and (ii) such new Management Agreement or modified or
extended Management Agreement has a term which does not exceed one year and
provides that it is terminable by the Partnership on thirty (30) days' notice
by the Partnership in the event of any change in the identity of the General
Partners.

    B.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, should the Investment
General Partner or an Affiliate thereof perform property management services
for the Partnership, property management, rent-up or leasing fees shall be
paid to the Investment General Partner or such Affiliate only for services
actually rendered and shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) fees
competitive in price and terms with those of non-affiliated Persons rendering
comparable services in the locality where the Apartment Complex is located and
which could reasonably be available to the Partnership, or (ii) 5% of the
gross revenues of the Apartment Complex.  No duplicate property management
fees shall be paid to any Person.

    C.   If (i) the Management Agent is a General Partner or an Affiliate
of a General Partner, and the Apartment Complex shall be subject to a
substantial building code violation which shall not have been cured within six
months after notice from the applicable governmental agency or department, or
(ii) an Event of Bankruptcy shall occur with respect to the Management Agent,
or (iii) the Management Agent shall commit willful misconduct or gross
negligence in its conduct of its duties and obligations under the Management
Agreement, or (iv) there is any change in the identity of the General
Partners, or (v) the Management Agent is cited by any governmental agency,
including any Tax Credit monitoring or compliance agency of the State, for a
violation or alleged violation of any applicable rules, regulations or
requirements, including, but not limited to, non-compliance with the Minimum
Set-Aside Test, the Rent Restriction Test or any other Tax Credit-related
provision, then, upon request by the Special Limited Partner and subject to
Agency approval, if required, the General Partners must cause the Partnership
to promptly terminate the Management Agreement with the Management Agent and
appoint a new Management Agent selected by the Special Limited Partner, which
new Management Agent shall not be an Affiliate of a General Partner.  Each
General Partner hereby grants to the Special Limited Partner an irrevocable
(to the extent permitted by applicable law) power of attorney coupled with an
interest to take any action and to execute and deliver any and all documents
and instruments on behalf of such General Partner and the Partnership as the
Special Limited Partner may deem to be necessary or appropriate in order to
effectuate the provisions of this Article XI.C.  Subject to Agency and Lender
approval, if required, the Partnership shall not enter into any future
management arrangement unless such arrangement is terminable upon the
occurrence of the events described in this Article XI.

    D.   The General Partners shall have the duty to manage the Apartment
Complex during any period when there is no Management Agent.

    E.   This Article XI is subject to all restrictions and limitations set
forth in Section 13.8.

ARTICLE XII

Books and Records, Accounting, Tax Elections, Etc.

    12.1  Books and Records

    The Partnership shall maintain all books and records which are required
under the Uniform Act or by any governmental agency having jurisdiction and
may maintain such other books and records as the General Partners in their
discretion deem advisable.  Every Limited Partner, or its duly authorized
representatives, shall at all times have access to the records of the
Partnership at the principal office of the Partnership at any and all
reasonable times, and may inspect and copy any of such records.  A list of the
names and addresses of all of the Limited Partners shall be maintained as part
of the books and records of the Partnership and shall be mailed to any Limited
Partner upon request.  A reasonable charge for copy work may be charged by the
Partnership.

    12.2  Bank Accounts

    The bank accounts of the Partnership shall be maintained in the
Partnership's name with such financial institutions as the General Partners
shall determine.  Withdrawals shall be made only in the regular course of
Partnership business on such signature or signatures as the General Partners
may determine.  All deposits (including security deposits and other funds
required to be escrowed by any Lender) and other funds not needed in the
operation of the business shall be deposited, if required by applicable law
and to the extent permitted by applicable Agency or Mortgage requirements and
applicable State law, in interest-bearing accounts or invested in United
States Government obligations maturing within one year.  The General Partners
shall not be obligated to maximize the interest rates received on Partnership
funds.

    12.3  Accountants and Auditors

    (a)  The Accountants shall prepare, for execution by the General
Partners, all tax returns of the Partnership.  Prior to the filing of the
Partnership tax returns, and in no event later than February 15th of each
year, the Accountants shall deliver the tax returns for such year to the Tax
Accountants for their review and comment.  If a dispute arises between the
Accountants and the Tax Accountants over the proper preparation of the tax
returns and such dispute cannot be resolved by March 1 of such year, then the
Tax Accountants shall make the final decision on whether any changes are
necessary.  The Partnership shall reimburse BCAMLP for all costs and expenses
paid to the Tax Accountants for the aforementioned services arising as a
result of such a dispute.

    (b)  The Auditors (who may also be the Accountants) shall audit and
certify all annual financial reports to the Partners in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards.

    (c)  If the Partnership fails to fulfill any of its obligations under
Section 12.7(a)(i) and/or Section 12.7(a)(ii) within the time periods set
forth therein, at any time thereafter upon notice from the Special Limited
Partner that a change in the identity of the Auditors is desired, the General
Partners, on behalf of the Partnership, shall promptly terminate the
Partnership's engagement of the Auditors, and the prior written consent of the
Special Limited Partner must be received to the appointment of replacement
Auditors.  If no such consent is received to the appointment of replacement
Auditors within thirty (30) days of the notice from the Special Limited
Partner to replace the Auditors, then the Special Limited Partner shall
appoint replacement Auditors of its own choosing, the cost of which shall be
borne by the Partnership as a Partnership expense.  All Partners hereby grant
to the Special Limited Partner a special power of attorney, irrevocable to the
extent permitted by law, coupled with an interest, to so appoint replacement
Auditors and to do anything else which in the view of the Special Limited
Partner may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this
Section 12.3(c).

    12.4  Cost Recovery and Elections 

    (a)  With respect to all depreciable assets for which cost recovery
deductions are permitted, the Partnership shall elect to use, so far as per-
mitted by the provisions of the Code, accelerated cost recovery methods. 
However, the Partnership may change to another method of cost recovery if such
other method is, in the opinion of the Auditors, more advantageous to the
Investment Limited Partner and the limited partners and/or holders of
beneficial assignee certificates thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, unless the Consent of the Investment Limited Partner is received
permitting a different cost recovery schedule, the Partnership shall
depreciate its personal and real property utilizing the alternative
depreciation system of Section 168(g)(2) of the Code.  

    (b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 12.5, all other elections
required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under the Code shall be
made by the General Partners in such manner as will, in the opinion of the
Accountants, be most advantageous to the Investment Limited Partner and the
limited partners and/or holders of beneficial assignee certificates thereof.

    12.5  Special Basis Adjustments

    In the event of a transfer of all or any part of the Interest of the
Investment Limited Partner or a transfer of all or any part of an interest of
a partner and/or a holder of beneficial assignee certificate of the Investment
Limited Partner, the Partnership shall elect, upon the request of the
Investment Limited Partner, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to adjust the
basis of the Partnership property.  Any adjustments made pursuant to said

State.

    (b)  Upon the written request of the Investment Limited Partner for
further information with respect to any matter covered in item (a) above, the
General Partners shall furnish such information within thirty (30) days of

    (ii)  a descriptive statement of all transactions during the
fiscal year between the Partnership and General Partners or any
Affiliate thereof, including the nature of the transaction and the
payments involved.


    (e)  Within 15 days after the end of any calendar quarter during which:

    (f)  After the Admission Date, the Partnership shall send to the

Partners hereby consent to any governmental agency's providing BCAMLP with
copies of all material communications between any such office and the General
Partners and/or the Partnership, including, but not limited to, any notices of
default.  From and after any date upon which the General Partners receive
notice from the Investment Limited Partner that the Investment Limited Partner
would like copies of the monthly rent rolls for the Apartment Complex to be
sent to BCAMLP, the General Partners shall send copies of the rent rolls to
BCAMLP no later than ten (10) days after the expiration of each month.

    (i)  If the earlier of (A) the Completion Date or (B) the date upon
which tenants first occupied apartment units in the Apartment Complex shall
have occurred six months or more prior to the date upon which the Investment
Limited Partner acquired its Interest in the Partnership, then the General
Partners shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Investment Limited
Partner within 60 days of the Admission Date the following items:

    (i)  An unaudited statement of income of the Partnership for the year
(or such shorter period as there may be from the date of the most recent
audited statement of income of the Partnership) ended on the date upon which
the Investment Limited Partner acquired its Interest in the Partnership; and

    (ii) An audited statement of income of the Partnership for any fiscal
year of the Partnership ending between (A) the earlier of (1) the Completion
Date or (2) the date upon which tenants first occupied apartment units in the
Apartment Complex and (B) the date upon which the Investment Limited Partner
acquired its Interest in the Partnership.

    (j)  If the General Partners do not cause the Partnership to fulfill
its obligations under Section 12.7(a)(i) and/or Section 12.7(a)(ii) within
forty-six (46) days after the end of any fiscal year of the Partnership, the
General Partners shall pay as damages the sum of $100 per day to the
Investment Limited Partner until such obligations shall have been fulfilled;
provided, however, that the Investment Limited Partner may waive any such
monetary penalty if the failure of the Partnership to fulfill its reporting
obligations is attributable to force majeure.  Such damages shall be paid
forthwith by the General Partners, and failure to so pay shall constitute a
material default of the General Partners hereunder.  In addition, if the
General Partners shall so fail to pay, the General Partners shall forthwith
cease to be entitled to the Annual Partnership Management Fee, the Management
Incentive Fee and to the payment of any Cash Flow or Capital Transaction
proceeds to which they may otherwise be entitled hereunder.  Such payments of
the Annual Partnership Management Fee, Cash Flow and Capital Transaction
proceeds shall be restored only upon the payment of such damages in full, and
any amount of such damages not so paid shall be deducted against payments of
the Annual Partnership Management Fee, the Management Incentive Fee, Cash Flow
and Capital Transaction proceeds otherwise due to the General Partners.

    12.8  Expenses of the Partnership

    (a)  All expenses of the Partnership shall be billed directly to and
paid by the Partnership.  

    (b)  Except in extraordinary circumstances, neither the Investment
General Partner nor any Affiliate thereof shall be permitted to contract or
otherwise deal with the Partnership for the sale of goods or services or the
lending of money to the Partnership or the General Partners, except for (i)
management services, subject to the restrictions set forth in Article XI.B.,
(ii) loans made by, or guaranteed by, the Investment General Partner or any of
its Affiliates, and (iii) those dealings, contracts or provision of services
described in the Investment Partnership Agreement or the Prospectus. 
Extraordinary circumstances shall only be presumed to exist where there is an
emergency situation requiring immediate action and the services required are
not immediately available from unaffiliated parties.  All services rendered
under such circumstances must be rendered pursuant to a written contract which
must contain a clause allowing termination without penalty on sixty (60) days'
notice.  Goods and services provided under such circumstances must be provided
at the lesser of actual cost or the price charged for such goods or services
by independent parties.

    (c)  In the event extraordinary circumstances arise, the Investment
General Partner and its Affiliates may provide construction services in
connection with the Apartment Complex.  Neither the Investment General Partner
nor any of its Affiliates shall provide such services unless it believes it
has adequate staff to do so and unless such provision of goods and
construction services is part of its ordinary and ongoing business in which it
has previously engaged, independent of the activities of the Investment
Limited Partner.  Any such services must be reasonable for and necessary to
the Investment Limited Partner, actually furnished to the Investment Limited
Partner, and provided at the lower of 10% of the construction contract rate
with respect to the Apartment Complex or 90% of the competitive price charged
for such services by independent parties for comparable goods and services in
the same geographic location (except that in the case of transfer agent,
custodial and similar banking-type fees, and insurance fees, the compensation,
price or fee shall be at the lesser of costs or the compensation, price or fee
of any other Person rendering comparable services as aforesaid).  Cost of
services as used herein means the pro rate cost of personnel, including an
allocation of overhead directly attributable to such personnel, based on the
amount of time such personnel spent on such services or other method of
allocation acceptable to the accountants for the Investment Limited Partner.

    (d)  All services provided by the Investment General Partner or any
Affiliate thereof pursuant to Section 12.8(c) must be rendered pursuant to the
Investment Partnership Agreement or a written contract which precisely
describes the services to be rendered and all compensation to be paid and
shall contain a clause allowing termination without penalty upon sixty (60)
days' notice to the Investment General Partner by a vote of a majority in
interest of the limited partners and assignees of beneficial interests in the
Investment Limited Partner.

    (e)  No compensation or fees may be paid by the Partnership to the
Investment General Partner or its Affiliates except as described in the
Investment Partnership Agreement or in the Prospectus.

ARTICLE XIII

General Provisions

    13.1  Restrictions by Reason of Section 708 of the Code 

    No Disposition may be made if the Interest sought to be Disposed of,
when added to the total of all other Interests Disposed of within the period
of twelve consecutive months prior to the proposed date of the Disposition,
could, in the opinion of tax counsel to the Partnership, result in the ter-
mination of the Partnership under Section 708 of the Code.  This Section 13.1
shall have no application to any required repurchase of the Investment Limited
Partner's Interest.  Any Disposition in contravention of any of the provisions
of this Section 13.1 shall be void ab initio and ineffectual and shall not
bind or be recognized by the Partnership.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 13.1, however, the Investment Limited Partner may
waive the provisions of this Section 13.1 at any time as to a Disposition or
series of Dispositions, and in the event of such a waiver, this Section 13.1
shall have no force or effect upon such Disposition or series of Dispositions.

    13.2  Amendments to Certificate

    Within 120 days after the end of any fiscal year in which the Investment
Limited Partner shall have received any distributions under Article X, the
General Partners shall file an amendment to the Certificate reducing by the
amount of its allocable share of such distribution the amount of Capital Con-
tribution of the Investment Limited Partner as stated in the last previous
amendment to the Certificate.  However, Schedule A shall not be amended on
account of any such distribution.

    The Partnership shall amend the Certificate at least once each calendar
quarter to effect the substitution of substituted Limited Partners, although
the General Partners may elect to do so more frequently.  In the case of
assignments, where the assignee does not become a Substituted Limited Partner,
the Partnership shall recognize the assignment not later than the last day of
the calendar month following receipt of notice of assignment and all documen-
tation required in connection therewith hereunder.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.2, no such
amendments to the Certificate need be filed by the General Partners if the
Certificate is not required to and does not identify the Limited Partners or
their Capital Contributions in such capacity.

    13.3  Notices

    Any notice called for under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
be deemed adequately given if actually delivered or if sent by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, to the party for whom such notice is intended
at such party's last address of record on the Partnership books.  Notice shall
be deemed received upon actual receipt or, if receipt shall be refused, upon
refusal.

    13.4  Word Meanings

    The words such as "herein," "hereinafter," "hereof" and "hereunder"
refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which
such words appear unless the context otherwise requires.  The singular shall
include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and
neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.  References to
"Sections" and "Articles" refer to Sections and Articles of this Agreement,
unless otherwise specified.  References to any Treasury Regulations (permanent
or temporary) or Revenue Procedures shall include any successor provisions.

    13.5  Binding Effect

    The covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns of the respective parties hereto.

    13.6  Applicable Law

    This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the State.

    13.7  Counterparts

    This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts and all so exe-
cuted shall constitute one agreement binding on all parties hereto,
notwithstanding that all the parties have not signed the original or the same
counterpart.



    13.8  Financing Regulations

    So long as any of the Project Documents are in effect, (a) each of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be subject to, and the General Partners
covenant to act in accordance with, the Project Documents; (b) the Project
Documents shall govern the rights and obligations of the Partners, their
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns to the extent
expressly provided therein; (c) upon any dissolution of the Partnership or any
transfer of the Apartment Complex, no title or right to the possession and
control of the Apartment Complex and no right to collect the rent therefrom
shall pass to any Person who is not, or does not become, bound by the Project
Documents in a manner satisfactory to each Agency; (d) no amendment to any
provision of the Project Documents shall become effective without the prior
written consent of each Agency (if required); and (e) the affairs of the
Partnership shall be subject to Agency regulation, and no action shall be
taken which would require the consent or approval of any Agency unless the
prior consent or approval of such Agency shall have been obtained.  No new
Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership, and no Partner shall withdraw
from the Partnership or be substituted for without the consent of each Agency
(if such consent is then required).  No amendment to this Agreement relating
to matters governed by Agency regulations or requirements shall become
effective until the prior written consent of each Agency (if required) to such
amendment shall have been obtained.

    Any conveyance or transfer of title to all or any portion of the
Apartment Complex required or permitted under this Agreement shall in all
respects be subject to all conditions, approvals and other requirements of
Agency rules and regulations applicable thereto.

    13.9  Separability of Provisions

    Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable and
(a) if for any reason any provision is determined to be invalid, such
invalidity shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this
Agreement which are valid, or (b) if for any reason any provision would cause
the Investment Limited Partner or the Missouri Limited Partner to be bound by
the obligations of the Partnership (other than the rules and regulations of
any Agency and the requirements of any Lender), such provision or provisions
shall be deemed void and of no effect.

    13.10  Paragraph Titles

    All article and section headings in this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and are not intended to qualify the meaning of any article
or section.

    13.11  Amendment Procedure

    This Agreement may be amended by the General Partners only with the
Consent of the Investment Limited Partner and the prior written consent of the
Special Limited Partner.

    13.12  Time of Admission

    Each of the Investment Limited Partner, the Missouri Limited Partner and
the Special Limited Partner shall be deemed to have been admitted to the
Partnership as of the Commencement Date for all purposes of this Agreement,
including Article X; provided, however, that if regulations are issued under
the Code or an amendment to the Code is adopted which would require, in the
opinion of the Accountants, that the Investment Limited Partner, the Missouri
Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner be deemed admitted on a
date other than as of the Commencement Date, then the General Partners shall
select a permitted admission date which is most favorable to such Limited
Partner(s).

    WITNESS the execution hereof under seal as of the 1st day of January,
1997.

Operating General Partner and the Consultant have been duly and validly
authorized by all necessary action; the execution and delivery of this

beneficial owners of ten per cent (10%) or more of any class of their equity
securities (beneficial ownership meaning the power to vote or direct the vote

    2.   Indemnification

         2.01 The Operating General Partner (for purposes of this
Section 2.01, the  "Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Limited Partners and the Investment General Partner (for purposes of this
Section 2.01, the "Indemnified Parties" or, individually, an "Indemnified
Party") and each officer, director, employee and person, if any, who controls
any party against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively,
"Liabilities"), joint or several, to which any Indemnified Party or such
officer, director, employee or controlling person may become subject, insofar
as such Liabilities or actions in respect thereof arise out of or are based
upon (i) a breach by such Indemnifying Party of any of his representations,
warranties or covenants to such Indemnified Party or any such of its officers,
directors, employees or controlling persons under this Certification and
Agreement or (ii) liability under any statute, regulation, ordinance, or other
provision of federal, state, or local law or any civil action pertaining to
the protection of the environment or otherwise pertaining to public health or
employee health and safety, including, without limitation, protection from
hazardous waste, lead-based paint, asbestos, methane gas, urea formaldehyde
insulation, oil, toxic substance, underground storage tanks, polychlorinated
biphenals (PCBs), and radon; and to reimburse each such Indemnified Party and
each such officer, director, employee or controlling person for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by it or them in connection with
investigating or defending against any such Liability or action; provided,
however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify any
Indemnified Party or any such officer, director, employee or controlling
person for any payment made to any claimant in settlement of any Liability or
action unless such payment is approved by the Indemnifying Party or by a court
having jurisdiction of the controversy.  This indemnity agreement shall remain
in full force and effect notwithstanding any investigation made by any party
hereto, shall survive the termination of any agreement which refers to this
indemnity and shall be in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying
Party may otherwise have.

         2.02 The Indemnifying Party shall be liable under the indemnity
agreements contained in Section 2.01 unless the Indemnified Party shall have
notified the Indemnifying Party in writing within forty-five (45) business
days after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the
nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Indemnified Party or any
such of its officers, directors, employees or controlling persons, but failure
to notify an Indemnifying Party of any such claim shall not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party or any such of its
officers, directors, employees or controlling persons against whom action is
brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in
Section 2.01.  In case any action is brought against any Indemnified Party or
any such of its officers, directors, employees or controlling persons upon any
such claim, and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof
as aforesaid, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate at its
own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, in accordance with arrange-
ments satisfactory to any other Indemnifying Party or parties similarly noti-
fied, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel who shall be satisfactory to
such Indemnified Party or any such of its officers, directors, employees or
controlling persons and any other Indemnified Parties who are defendants in
such action; and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified
Party or any such of its officers, directors, employees or controlling persons
of its election so to assume the defense thereof and the retaining of such
counsel by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable
to such Indemnified Party or any such of its officers, directors, employees or
controlling persons for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such Indemnified Party or any such of its officers, directors, employees or
controlling persons in connection with the defense thereof, other than the
reasonable costs of investigation.

therein), and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person
shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.

         3.02 This Certification and Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Operating
Partnership Agreement.

EX-10

OPTION AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT


    This OPTION AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is
entered into as of the 1st day of January, 1997, by and between M.R.H.,
L.P., a Missouri limited partnership (the "Owner") and MARY RYDER HOME,
a Missouri not for profit corporation (the "Optionee").

RECITALS:

    A.   The Owner owns those certain improvements consisting of
forty-eight (48) residential units for low- and moderate-income tenants
located in St. Louis, Missouri, and the land on which the improvements
are situated, which is more particularly described on Exhibit A attached
hereto and made a part hereof by this reference (together, the
"Project").

    B.   The Optionee is the general partner (the "General Partner")
of the Owner under the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership of the Owner dated as of January 1, 1997 ("Partnership
Agreement").

    C.   The parties desire to set forth the terms of the option and
right of first refusal from the Owner to the Optionee to purchase the
Project.

    NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
GRANT OF OPTION AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

    The Owner hereby grants to the Optionee an option and right of
first refusal to purchase the Project on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement.  The Optionee's right to exercise the option
and right of first refusal is subject to the Optionee having provided to
the Owner an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Owner and
to each of the Investment Limited Partner, the Special Limited Partner
and the Missouri Limited Partner of the Owner (collectively, the
"Limited Partners") that the exercise of the option or the right of
first refusal will not cause any recapture of tax credits ("Tax
Credits") to any partner of the Owner (a "Partner") allowable under
Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), that there is no default of any of the obligations of the
Optionee under the Partnership Agreement, and that the Optionee is a
qualified nonprofit organization or governmental agency as required for
the purposes of Section 42(i)(7)(A) of the Code (an "Eligible
Purchaser"). If at any time during the term of this option and right of
first refusal, the Optionee is no longer the General Partner of the
Owner pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the grant of
option and right of first refusal shall be null and void and shall be of
no further force or effect.

ARTICLE II
TERM OF OPTION AND
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

    The term of the option and right of first refusal shall commence
one day after Owner completes its 15-year "compliance period" under
Section 42(i)(1) of the Code, so that the term of the option and right
of first refusal is expected to commence on January 1, 2012; and the
term of the option and right of first refusal shall expire on January 1,
2013.  

ARTICLE III
MANNER OF EXERCISING OPTION AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

    3.1  The Optionee shall exercise its option by delivering to the
Owner, with a copy to the Limited Partners as required under
Article VII, during the option term, written notice of the exercise. 
The notice of exercise shall state that the option is exercised without
condition or qualification.

    3.2  If, during the term of its right of first refusal, 1) the
Owner receives a bona fide third party offer (an "Offer") to purchase
the Project at a price not less than the minimum purchase price under
Section 42(i)(7)(B) of the Code (the "Statutory Purchase Price"); 2) the
Owner determines that it is in the best interest of the Owner to sell
the Project upon the terms set forth in the Offer; and 3) the Owner 
provides to the Optionee a notification in writing of the Offer (an
"Offer Notification"), and the Owner's determination to sell, the
Optionee shall then have the option, if the Optionee is then an Eligible
Purchaser, to thereupon exercise its right of first refusal within ten
(10) days of receiving the Offer Notification upon the precise terms set
forth in the Offer, except that the price to be paid by the Optionee
shall be the Statutory Purchase Price.  If the Optionee does not so
exercise its right of first refusal, then the Owner may proceed to sell
the Project to the maker of the Offer pursuant to the terms set forth in
the Offer and this Agreement shall terminate.

    3.3  At any time during the term of the right of first refusal,
the General Partner shall have the right to solicit bids for the sale of
the Project, and any bona fide bid from a third party in connection with
such solicitation can constitute an Offer which triggers the right of
first refusal.

    3.4  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a requirement
that upon any exercise of the option or the right of first refusal that,
in addition to the purchase price for the Property being paid, all
accrued but unpaid fees or other debts or obligations owed by the Owner
or the Optionee to any Limited Partner or Affiliate of a Limited Partner
be paid in full (whether through the proceeds of an additional Capital
Contribution by the Optionee to the Owner or otherwise); neither the
option nor the right of first refusal shall close without the payment in
full of all such amounts.



ARTICLE IV
OPTION PURCHASE PRICE

    4.1  The purchase price for the Project under the option shall be
the greater of (a) the Fair Market Value, or (b) the Statutory Purchase
Price; provided, however, that if prior to exercise of the option
(1) the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") shall have published an
applicable regulation or revenue ruling (the applicability of such a
regulation or ruling being determined in its judgment by tax counsel to
the Investment Limited Partner), (2) the Service shall have issued an
applicable private letter ruling to the Owner (the applicability of such
a ruling being determined in its judgment by tax counsel to the
Investment Limited Partner), or (3) tax counsel to the Investment
Limited Partner or counsel to the Optionee acceptable to the Investment
Limited Partner shall have issued an opinion letter, in the applicable
situation (clause (1), (2) or (3)) concluding that property of the
nature and use of the Project may be sold under the option described in
this Agreement at the Statutory Purchase Price, even though such a price
may be less than the fair market value of the Project, without adversely
affecting the Tax Credits or deductions that would otherwise be
available to the Limited Partners, then the option price shall be equal
to the Statutory Purchase Price.

    4.2  The Fair Market Value of the Project shall refer to the fair
market value of the Project at the time of the  exercise of the option
and shall be determined as follows:  The Special Limited Partner, on
behalf of the Owner, and the Optionee shall select a mutually acceptable
appraiser who shall determine the fair market value of the Project.  In
the event the parties are unable to agree upon an appraiser, the Special
Limited Partner, on behalf of the Owner, and the Optionee shall each
select an appraiser.  If the difference between the two appraisals is
within ten per cent (10%) of the lower of the two appraisals, then the
Fair Market Value shall be the average of the two appraisals.  If the
difference between the two appraisals is greater than ten per cent (10%)
of the lower of the two appraisals and at least one of the appraisals
exceeds the Statutory Purchase Price, then the two appraisers shall
jointly select a third appraiser.  If the two appraisers are unable
jointly to select a third appraiser, then the appointment of the third
appraiser shall be made by the then President of the St. Louis,
Missouri, Chapter of the American Arbitration Association or his or her
designee. If the third appraisal is less than either of the first two,
then the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the two lowest
appraisals.  If the third appraisal is greater than the first two, then
the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the two highest
appraisals.  If the third appraisal falls between the previous two
appraisals, the Fair Market Value shall be the value established by the
third appraisal.  The Owner and the Optionee shall share the cost
equally of any appraiser jointly selected or shall pay the costs of the
appraiser they each select and shall share the cost equally of any third
appraiser.  Any appraiser selected pursuant to this section shall be an
MAI appraiser with at least five years of relevant experience.  The
appraisals shall take into account any requirements that the Project
remain dedicated for the use of low-income households pursuant to any
restrictions under any loan agreements, regulatory agreements, or
otherwise and shall take into account any tax benefits or other subsidy
or financing benefits available to projects providing affordable housing
in a manner similar to the Project.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, in no event shall the Fair Market Value be less than $1,000.

    4.3  The Optionee shall pay the purchase price in immediately
available funds at the closing.  However, in lieu of paying the purchase
price in cash at closing, Optionee may assume any outstanding debts
secured by deeds of trust or mortgages on the Project and any other
obligations of Owner, provided that any holder of such underlying
obligation consents to the assumption, with the balance of the purchase
price, if any, being payable in immediately available funds.

ARTICLE V
COMPLETION OF SALE

    5.1  The sale of the Project shall close no later than one
hundred twenty (120) days after the Owner's receipt of the Optionee's
written notice of exercise of the option, at which time the purchase
price shall be payable as set forth in Section 4.3.  At or before the
closing, the Optionee shall obtain the consent to the sale from the
Missouri Housing Development Commission, or the successor thereto as the
Tax Credit allocating agency for the State or Missouri, and from the
holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust on the Project, if required.

    5.2  The Owner shall convey the Project to the Optionee in an "as
is" condition without representation or warranty.

ARTICLE VI
QUITCLAIM DEED ON TERMINATION OF OPTION
AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

    Upon termination of its rights pursuant to Article I or Article II
of this Agreement, the Optionee agrees, upon the Owner's request, to
execute and deliver a quitclaim deed to the Owner within thirty (30)
days after said termination and to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any
other documents required by the Owner's title insurance company to
remove the cloud of this Agreement from the Owner's title to the
Project.

ARTICLE VII
NOTICES

    Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be
given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally
delivered, including but not limited to overnight delivery, or deposited
in the U.S. mail, certified, return receipt requested, first class and

ARTICLE VIII

in equity to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to protect or
establish any right or remedy of any party hereunder, the unsuccessful
party to the litigation shall pay to the prevailing party all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorney fees incurred therein by the
prevailing party, and if the prevailing party recovers judgment in any
action, proceeding, or arbitration, the costs, expenses, and attorney
fees shall be included in and as a part of the judgment.

ARTICLE IX
ARBITRATION

    Any party hereto that becomes involved in any controversy relating
to this Agreement may require that all disputes, claims, counterclaims,
and defenses ("Claims") relating in any way to this Agreement or any
transaction of which this Agreement is a part (the "Transaction") be
settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and Title 9 of
the U.S. Code; provided that such arbitration need not be conducted
under the jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association.  All
Claims will be subject to the statutes of limitations applicable if they
were litigated.

    If arbitration occurs, one neutral arbitrator will decide all
issues unless any party's claim is $100,000 or more, in which case three
neutral arbitrators will decide all issues.  In the event the parties
cannot mutually agree upon an arbitrator or arbitrators, then the rules
for selecting an arbitrator or arbitration service under the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and Title 9 of
the U.S. Code shall apply.  All arbitrators will be active Missouri
State Bar members in good standing.  All arbitration hearings will be
held in St. Louis, Missouri.  In addition to all other powers, the
arbitrator(s) shall have the exclusive right to determine all issues of
arbitrability.  Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any
court with jurisdiction.

    If any party institutes any judicial proceeding relating to the
Transaction, such action shall not be a waiver of the right to submit
any Claim to arbitration.  In addition, all parties have the right
before, during, and after any arbitration to exercise any number of the
following remedies, in any order or concurrently:  (i) setoff,
(ii) self-help repossession, (iii) judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure
against real or personal property collateral, or (iv) provisional
remedies, including injunction, appointment of receiver, attachment,
claim and delivery, and replevin.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS

    (a)  Each party hereby agrees to indemnify the other party from
and against any real estate brokerage commissions or similar obligations
incurred by the indemnifying party as a result of the negotiations or
exercise of this option.

    (b)  The rights and obligations of the Owner and the Optionee
under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and bind, their
respective successors and assigns.

    (c)  The captions used herein are for convenience of reference
only and are not part of this Agreement and do not in any way limit or
amplify the terms and provisions hereof.

    (d)  Time is of the essence of each and all of the agreements,
covenants, and conditions of this Agreement.

    (e)  This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Missouri.

    (f)  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
Owner and the Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior offers and negotiations, oral and written.  This
Agreement may not be amended or modified in any respect whatsoever
except by an instrument in writing signed by Owner and Optionee, and
after receiving the prior written consent of the Special Limited
Partner.

    (g)  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this
Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Partnership
Agreement.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner and the Optionee have executed this
