Based upon the giving of such Notice, such Installment shall be made on the due date therefor, or if such Notice is not timely given, then within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of such Notice. (d) (i) Upon the occurrence of Cost Certification and State Designation, if ninety-nine percent (99%) of the aggregate amount of Tax Credits: (A) for which the Partnership would be eligible with respect to the Apartment Complex based upon the Cost Certification, and/or (B) allocated by the Agency with respect to the Apartment Complex, is less than the aggregate amount of the Projected Credit (the "Allocation Differential"), then the Capital Contribution of the Investment Partnership shall be reduced by the "Adjustment Amount".

(ii) If at any time the Accountants determine that, for any fiscal year or portion thereof during the Partnership's operation, ending on the date five (5) years from and after the date of Substantial Completion (the "Reduction Period"), the Actual Credit for such fiscal year or portion thereof is less than the Projected Credit (or Revised Projected Credit) applicable to such fiscal year or portion thereof, then the Capital Contribution of the Investment Partnership shall be reduced by the Reduction Amount.

Any reduction in Capital Contribution shall first be applied to reduce the Installment next due to be paid by the Investment Partnership, and any portion of such reduction in excess of such Installment shall be applied to reduce succeeding Installments. If no further Installments are due to be paid, then the entire amount of such reduction shall be repaid by the Partnership to the Investment Partnership promptly after demand is made therefor. The General Partner is obligated to provide such funds to the Partnership as shall be necessary to cause the aforesaid payment to be made by the Partnership to the Investment Partnership. (iii) In the event that, for any reason, at any time after the Reduction Period, there is a Credit Shortfall with respect to any fiscal year during the Partnership's operation, the Investment Partnership shall be treated as having made a constructive advance to the Partnership with respect to such year (a "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 (A) the Credit Shortfall for such year, plus (B) the amount of any recapture, interest or penalty payable by the limited partners of the Investment Partnership (assuming pass- through of all such liability in the year incurred and a tax rate equal to the maximum individual rate applicable in such year) as a result of the Credit Shortfall for such year. Credit Recovery Loans shall be deemed to bear simple (not compounded) interest, from the respective dates on which such principal advances are deemed to have been made under this Section 5.01(d) (iii) at 9% per annum. Credit Recovery Loans shall be repayable by the Partnership as provided in Sections 11.03(A)(c) and 11.04(A)(b). (e) Without the Consent of all of the Partners, no additional Persons may be admitted as additional Limited Partners and Capital Contributions may be accepted only as and to the extent expressly provided for in this Article V. 5.02. Return of Capital Contribution. Except as provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall be entitled to demand or receive the return of his Capital Contribution. 5.03. Withholding of Capital Contribution Upon Default. In the event that: (a) either General Partner, or any successor General Partner shall not have substantially complied with any material provisions under this Agreement, after Notice from the Investment Partnership of such noncompliance and failure to cure such noncompliance within a period of sixty (60) days from and after the date of such Notice, or (b) Lender shall have declared the Partnership to be in default under the Mortgage Loans or (c) foreclosure proceedings shall have been commenced against the Apartment Complex, then the Partnership and the Investment Partnership, at its sole election, may cause the withholding of payment of any Installment otherwise payable to the Partnership. Notwithstanding the provisions herein, in the event that an Installment payment becomes due during the cure period stated in this Section 5.03(a), the Investment Partnership, at its sole election, may cause the withholding of any payment of any such Installment otherwise payable to the Partnership until the termination of such cure period, and then, according to the provisions herein. All amounts so withheld by the Investment Partnership under this Section 5.03 shall be promptly released to the Partnership only after the General Partner or the Partnership has cured the default justifying the withholding, as demonstrated by evidence reasonably acceptable to the Investment Partnership. 5.04. Legal Opinions. As a condition precedent to payment of the First Installment, the Investment Partnership shall have received the opinion of McKenzie & Edwards, P.C., counsel to the Partnership and to the General Partner, which opinion shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Investment Partnership and shall explicitly state that Hinckley, Allen & Snyder, of Boston, Massachusetts, counsel to the Limited Partner, may explicitly rely upon them. 5.05.

Thereafter, the General Partner, within 30 days of its receipt of Notice from the Investment Partnership of such election, shall acquire the entire Interest of the Investment Partnership in the Partnership by making payment to the Investment Partnership, in cash, of an amount equal to the Invested Amount. (b) If the Lender and/or the Agency shall disapprove the Investment Partnership as a Partner hereunder within 180 days of its admission to the Partnership, then the Investment Partnership shall, effective as of such time (or such other time as may be specified by the Lender and/or the Agency in its disapproval), cease to be a Limited Partner. The General Partner shall, within 10 days of the effective date of such termination, purchase the Interest of the Investment Partnership in the Partnership and pay to the Investment Partnership an amount equal to its Net Capital Contribution.

Effect of Bankruptcy, Death, Withdrawal, Dissolution or Incompetence of a General Partner. (a) In the event of the Bankruptcy of a General Partner or the withdrawal, death or dissolution of a General Partner or an adjudication that a General Partner is incompetent (which term shall include, but not be limited to, insanity) the business of the Partnership shall be continued by the other General Partner, if any, (and the other General Partner, by execution of this Agreement, expressly so agrees to continue the business of the Partnership); provided, however, that if the withdrawn, Bankrupt, deceased, dissolved or incompetent General Partner is then the sole General Partner, unless the Investment Partnership within ninety (90) days after receiving Notice of such Bankruptcy, withdrawal, death, dissolution or adjudication of incompetence elects to designate a successor General Partner and continue the Partnership upon the admission of such successor General Partner to the Partnership, the Partnership shall be terminated.

Except as set forth above, such conversion of a General Partner Interest to a Limited Partner Interest shall not affect any rights, obligations or liabilities (including without limitation, any of the General Partner's obligations under Section 8.09 herein) of the Bankrupt, deceased, dissolved or incompetent General Partner existing prior to the Bankruptcy, death, dissolution or incompetence of such person as a General Partner (whether or not such rights, obligations or liabilities were known or had matured).

The General Partner shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such Notice to cure any default or other reason for such removal, in which event it shall remain as General Partner.

Additionally, the loans previously made to the Partnership by the removed General Partner will be paid when properly due and payable according to their respective loan terms, except that the Partnership may offset against any payments due thereunder to a General Partner removed under this Section 8.13, any damages suffered by the Partnership as a result of any breach of the obligations of such General Partner hereunder, (iii) the economic Interest of BCTC 94, Inc. as the Special Limited Partner shall continue unaffected by the new status of BCTC 94, Inc. 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 Partner hereunder.

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.

(b) For the purpose of allocation of profits, losses and credits, and for the purpose of distributing cash of the Partnership, a Substitute Limited Partner shall be treated as having become, and as appearing in, the records of the Partnership as a Partner upon his signing of an amendment to this Agreement, agreeing to be bound hereby. (c) The General Partner shall cooperate with the Person seeking to become a Substitute Limited Partner by preparing the documentation required by this Section and making all official filings and publications. The Partnership shall take all such action, including the filing of any amended Agreement and/or Certificate evidencing the admission of any Person as a Limited Partner, and the making of any other official filings and publications, as promptly as practicable after the satisfaction by the assignee of the Interest of a Limited Partner of the conditions contained in this Article IX to the admission of such Person as a Limited Partner of the Partnership.

(b) Any Person who is the assignee of all or any portion of a Limited Partner's Interest, but does not become a Substitute Limited Partner and desires to make a further assignment of such Interest, shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article IX to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of his (its) Interest. ARTICLE X RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF LIMITED PARTNERS 10.01. Management of the Partnership. No Limited Partner shall take part in the management or control of the business of the Partnership nor transact any business in the name of the Partnership. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall have the power or authority to bind the partnership or to sign any agreement or document in the name of the Partnership. No Limited Partner shall have any power or authority with respect to the Partnership except insofar as the consent of any Limited Partner shall be expressly required and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. 10.02. Limitation on Liability of Limited Partners. The liability of each Limited Partner shall be limited to its Capital Contribution as and when payable under the provisions of this Agreement. No Limited Partner shall have any other liability to contribute money to, or in respect of the liabilities or obligations of, the Partnership, nor shall any Limited Partner be personally liable for any obligations of the Partnership. No Limited Partner shall be obligated to make loans to the Partnership. 10.03. Other Activities. Any Limited Partner may engage in or possess interests in other business ventures of every kind and description for its own account, including without limitation, serving as general or limited partner of other partnerships which own, either directly or through interests in other partnerships, government- assisted housing projects similar to the Apartment Complex. Neither the Partnership nor any of the Partners shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement in or to such other business ventures to the income or profits derived therefrom. 10.04. Ownership by Limited Partner of Corporate General Partner or Affiliate. No Limited Partner shall, at any time, either directly or indirectly, own any stock or other interest in any corporate General Partner if such ownership by itself or in conjunction with other stock or other interests owned by other Limited Partners would, in the opinion of Hinckley, Allen & Snyder or other tax counsel to the Investment Partnership, jeopardize the classification of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. In the event of any violation of the provisions of this Section by any one or more Limited Partners, such Limited Partner or Limited Partners shall either dispose of their Interests in the Partnership (subject to and in compliance with the provisions of Article IX) or of their stock or other interest in the corporate General Partner or Affiliates to the extent necessary so that, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership, the classification of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes is no longer in jeopardy. The obligation of any such disposition required of more than one Limited Partner shall be shared among them on an equitable basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall be liable in damages to the Partnership or to any Partner by reason of any violation of this Section, except for damages arising (a) out of any material misrepresentation by any Limited Partner relating to the ownership of stock or other interest in a corporate General Partner or any affiliate by him or by any member of his family (within the meaning of the attribution rules set forth in Section 318 of the Code), or (b) out of any failure by any Limited Partner to dispose of his Interest in the Partnership or of his stock or other interest in a corporate General Partner or Affiliate within a reasonable time after Notice to such Limited Partner by the Partnership of the obligations to make such disposition. ARTICLE XI ALLOCATION OF TAXABLE INCOME, TAX LOSSES, TAX CREDITS AND CASH DISTRIBUTIONS Section 11.01. Allocation of Taxable Income, Tax Losses and Tax Credits. A. General. Subject to the special allocations set forth in this Article XI, Taxable Income, Tax Credits and Tax Losses for each fiscal year of the Partnership (or part thereof) other than those to be allocated pursuant to Section 11.01B, Section 11.01C, or Section 11.02 hereof, shall be allocated 99% to the Investment Partnership and 1% to the General Partner. B. Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated 99% to the Investment Partnership and 1% to the General Partner. C. Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the loan to which such Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). Section 11.02. Allocation of Taxable Income and Tax Losses from Capital Transactions. Subject to the special allocations set forth in this Article XI, Taxable Income and Tax Losses from Capital Transactions shall be allocated to the Partners as follows: (i) Taxable Income from Capital Transactions shall be allocated: (a) first, to the Partners with negative Capital Accounts pro rata in such amounts as will result in the elimination of the negative Capital Accounts of such Partners; provided, however, that if Taxable Income to be allocated pursuant to this Section 11.02(i)(a) is insufficient to eliminate all negative Capital Accounts, such Taxable Income will be allocated to Partners with negative Capital Accounts in the proportion that each such Partner's negative Capital Account bears to the total of all such Negative Capital Accounts; (b) second, in the amount and to the extent necessary to increase the Partners' respective Capital Accounts to equal the amounts distributable under Sections 11.04 A (c) and 11.04A(d); (c) then, the balance, if any, of such Taxable Income shall be allocated 75% to the General Partner and 25% to the Investment Partnership. (ii) Tax Losses from Capital Transactions shall be allocated: (a) first, to the extent of the respective positive balances in the Partners' Capital Accounts; and (b) any balance, 99% to the Limited Partner and 1% to the General Partner. (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if Taxable Income to be allocated includes income treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes because such Taxable Income is attributable to the recapture of depreciation under Section 1245 or 1250 of the Code, such Taxable Income, to the extent treated as ordinary income, shall be allocated to and reported by the Partners in proportion to their accumulated depreciation allocations. The Partnership shall keep records of such allocations of depreciation to the Partners. In determining the accumulated depreciation allocations of the Partners, depreciation deductions for each taxable year shall be deemed allocated to the Partners in the same proportion as the Taxable Income or Tax Losses in that particular taxable year were allocated to the Partners. 11.03 Distribution of Cash Flow. A. Subject to Lender approval, if required, Cash Flow shall be determined for each fiscal year and shall be applied or distributed at such time or times as the General Partner deem appropriate, but in no event less than once in each fiscal year, in the following order of priority: (a) First, to payment of operating expenses of the Apartment Complex and funding of the Reserve Fund for Replacements; (b) Second, to payment of the Asset Management Fee currently due, together with any accrued but unpaid Asset Management Fees; (c) Third, to payment of the Incentive Partnership Management Fee currently due; (d) Fourth, to the payment of any Required Amounts into the Partnership Cash Reserve Fund; and (e) Fifth, to the repayment of debt service pursuant to the terms of the BBOC Loan; (f) Sixth, to the repayment of debt service pursuant to the terms of the Second Loan; (g) Seventh, to the repayment of any amounts due with respect to any Subordinate Loans (including without limitations, Operating Deficit Loans made under Section 8.09(b); (h) Eighth, to the payment to the Developer of the Deferred Development Fee; (i) Any balance, split 50% to the General Partner and 50% to the Investment Partnership. Section 11.04 Distributions of Distributable Proceeds from Capital Transactions and Distributable Proceeds from Refinancings. A. Distributable Proceeds from Capital Transactions and Distributable Proceeds from Refinancings (other than liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 12.02) shall be distributed in the following order of priority: (a) First, to the payment of any debts and liabilities (including unpaid fees but excluding any debts, liabilities and/or fees owed to any Partners) and to the establishment of any required reserves; (b) Second, to the payment of any debts and liabilities (including unpaid fees) owed to the Partners or any Affiliates by the Partnership for Partnership obligations, including the repayment of any Credit Recovery Loans made pursuant to Section 5.01(d)(iii) or any Operating Deficit Loans made pursuant to Section 8.09(b) and the funding of reserves under Section 8.18; provided, however, that the foregoing debts and liabilities owed to Partners and their Affiliates shall be paid or repaid, as applicable, in the following order of priority if and to the extent applicable: (1) The Asset Management Fees currently due, together with any accrued and unpaid Asset Management Fees, if any, (2) The repayment of the Investment Partnership of any Reduction Amount pursuant to Section 5.01(d)(ii) together with any accrued or unpaid interest or Credit Recovery Loan Pursuant to Section 5.01(d)(iii) together with any accrued or unpaid interest; (3) Subordinated Loans to the General Partner; (4) Any other such debts and liabilities; provided, however, that all such other debts and liabilities owed to the Investment Partnership shall be paid prior to any such debts and liabilities owed to the General Partner; and (c) then, except in the case of a refinancing of the Mortgage Loans, to the Investment Partner in an amount equal to the positive balance in the Investment Partner's Capital Account following adjustments made pursuant to this Section 11.04A. (d) then, except in the case of a refinancing of the Mortgage Loans to the Investment Partner in an amount equal to the positive balance in the General Partner"s Capital Account following adjustments made pursuant to this Section 11.04A. (e) the balance, if any, 50% to the General Partner and 50% to the Investment Partnership. B. Distributable Proceeds from Capital Transactions and Distributable Proceeds from Refinancings shall be distributed within 90 days after the end of the fiscal quarter in which such Capital Transaction or Refinancing occurs. Distributions of Distributable Proceeds from Capital Transactions and Distributable Proceeds from Refinancings to the Partners shall be made only after Capital Accounts have been adjusted to reflect all previous allocations of Taxable Income and Tax losses to the Partners, for distributions of Cash Flow, and for any other distributions of Distributable Proceeds form Capital Transactions or Distributable Proceeds from Refinancings. C. Amounts remaining in the Operating Deficit Reserve at the time of any of the foregoing distributions shall be utilized by the Partnership to reduce any amounts which remain outstanding under the Development Agreement, and if no such amounts remain outstanding, then to the General Partner. Section 11.05 Allocations Among Partners. A. For purposes of determining the Taxable Income (or Tax Losses) or any other items allocable to any period, Taxable Income (or Tax Losses) and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. B. Taxable Income, Tax Losses, and Tax Credits for all purposes of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the accrual accounting method. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations, including allocation of Book Profits and Losses, shall be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as they share Taxable Income, Tax Credits, and Taxable Losses, as the case may be, for such fiscal year. C. In any year in which a Partner sells, assigns or transfers all or any portion of an Interest to any Person who during such year is admitted as a substitute Partner, the share of all Taxable Income, Tax Losses, and Tax Credits, allocated to and of all Cash Flow and all cash proceeds distributable under Section 11.04 distributed to, all Partners which is attributable to the Interest sold, assigned or transferred shall be divided between the assignor and the assignee using any one of the following methods as determined by agreement between the assignor and assignee: (i) ratably on the basis of the number of days in such year before, and the number of days on and after, the execution by the assignee of this Agreement, or (ii) by dividing the Partnership fiscal year into two segments, the first segment being the time period in such year before the execution by the assignee of this Agreement and the second segment being the time period in such year beginning on the date of execution of this Agreement, and allocating Taxable Income, Tax Losses, Tax Credits, Cash Flow, and all cash proceeds distributable in each such segment among the persons who were Partners during that segment, or (iii) using such other method as provided by the Code or regulations thereunder. D. In the event that there is a determination that there is any original issue discount or imputed interest attributable to the Capital Contribution of any Partner, or any loan between a Partner and the Partnership, any income or deduction of the Partnership attributable to such imputed interest or original issue discount on such Capital Contribution or loan (whether stated or unstated) shall be allocated solely to such Partner. E. In the event that the deduction of all or a portion of any fee paid or incurred by the Partnership to a Partner or an Affiliate of a Partner is disallowed for federal income tax purposes by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to a taxable year of the Partnership, the Partnership shall then allocate to such Partner an amount of gross income of the Partnership for such year equal to the amount of such fee as to which the deduction is disallowed. F. If any Partner's Interest in the Partnership is reduced but not eliminated because of the admission of new Partners or otherwise, or if any Partner is treated as receiving any items of property described in Section 751(a) of the Code, the Partner's Interest in such items of Section 751(a) property that was property of the Partnership while such Person was a Partner shall not be reduced, but shall be retained by the Partner so long as the Partner has an Interest in the Partnership and so long as the Partnership has an Interest in such property. G. The Partners are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article XI and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article XI in reporting their shares of Partnership income and loss for income tax purposes. Section 11.06 Qualified Income Offset. (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XI, in the event any Partner unexpectedly receives (a) an adjustment to the Capital Account balance of such Partner as described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4) of the Treasury Regulations, (b) an allocation to such Partner of loss or deduction of the type described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) of the Treasury Regulations, or (c) a distribution to such Partner in excess of any offsetting increase in the Partner's Capital Account balance during or prior to the year of distribution, items of Partnership Taxable Income and of income that constitute a credit to such Partner's Capital Account shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(b), the Qualified Income Offset Amount (defined in Section 11.06(ii)) created by such adjustments, allocations, or distributions as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 11.06(i) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a Qualified Income Offset Amount after all other allocations provided for in this Article have been tentatively made as if this Section 11.06(i) were not in this Agreement. (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Tax Losses of the Partnership be allocated to a Partner if such allocation would result in such Partner having a "Qualified Income Offset Amount" (as defined below). As used herein, the term "Qualified Income Offset Amount" for a Partner means the deficit balance, if any, in such Partner's Capital Account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year after giving effect to the following adjustments: (i) credit to such Capital Account an amount equal to (a) the Partner's Share of Minimum Gain immediately prior to the allocation or distribution and (b) the sum of such Partner's allocable share of any recourse indebtedness of the Partnership as determined under Section 752 of the Code and any unconditional obligation of such Partner to contribute additional amounts to the capital of the Partnership in the future (to the extent not previously taken into account in determining such Partner's share of recourse liabilities of the Partnership) and (ii) debit to such Capital Account the allocations or distributions described in Section 11.06(i) that, as of the end of the taxable year, are reasonably expected to be made to such Partner. All Tax Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 11.06(ii) shall be allocated to the General Partner. Section 11.07. Minimum Gain Allocations. A. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article XI, if in any year there is a net decrease in the amount of the Partnership's Minimum Gain, each Partner will be allocated items of Taxable Income and gain for such year equal to that Partner's share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.704-2(g)(2), and subject to the exceptions set forth in Treasury Regulation 1.704-2(f). Allocations of Taxable Income and gain (hereinafter referred to as a "Minimum Gain Chargeback") required pursuant to this Section 11.07 shall consist first of gains recognized from the disposition of items of Partnership property subject to one or more nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership to the extent of the decrease in Minimum Gain attributable to the disposition of such items of property (or if such gains exceed the amount of the Minimum Gain Chargeback required for such taxable year, the Minimum Gain Chargeback shall consist of a proportionate share of each such gain), and the remainder of such Minimum Gain Chargeback shall consist of a pro-rata portion of the other items of Taxable Income and gain of the Partnership for that year. If the amount of the Minimum Gain Chargeback requirement exceeds the Partnership's Taxable Income and gains for the taxable year, the excess shall carry over to subsequent years. B. If in any year there is a net decrease (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(3) in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, any Partner with a share of that Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined under Treasury Regulation 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of the year shall be allocated items of profits and gains for that year (and if necessary, subsequent years) equal to that Partner's share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704- 2(i)(4). Section 11.08 Regulatory Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 11.01B, 11.01C, 11.06 and 11.07 (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b). It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Taxable Income, Tax Losses and items of income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 11.08. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Taxable Income, Tax Losses, and items of income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all items were allocated pursuant to Sections 11.01A and 11.02. In exercising its discretion under this Section 11.08, the General Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 11.07 that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 11.01B and 11.01C. Section 11.09 Partners' Partnership Non-recourse Liabilities. For purposes of Code Section 752, each Partner's share of Partnership non-recourse liabilities shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.752-3(a) or successor regulation. In this connection, for purposes of determining each Partner's proportionate share of the excess non-recourse liabilities of the Partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.752-3(a), the Investment Partnership shall have a 99% interest in Partnership Taxable Income or profits and the General Partner shall have a 1% interest in Partnership Taxable Income or profits. Section 11.10 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with Section 11.12 hereof). In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership properties is adjusted pursuant to Section 11.12 hereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner with the Consent of the Limited Partner, in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner's Capital Account or share of Book Profits and Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 11.11. Tax Matters Partner. A. The General Partner is hereby designated as Tax Matters Partner of the Partnership, and shall engage in such undertakings as are required of the Tax Matters Partner of the Partnership, as provided in regulations pursuant to Section 6231 of the Code. Each Partner, by its execution of this Agreement, Consents to such designation of the Tax Matters Partner and agrees to execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such Consent. B. The Tax Matters Partner is hereby authorized, but not required: (a) to enter into any settlement with the Internal Revenue Service or the Secretary with respect to any tax audit or judicial review, in which agreement the Tax Matters Partner may expressly state that such agreement shall bind the other Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any Partner who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and regulations thereunder) files a statement with the Secretary providing that the Tax Matters Partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of such Partner; (b) in the event that a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes (a "final adjustment") is mailed to the Tax Matters Partner, to seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court, the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Partnership's principal place of business is located, or the United States Claims Court; (c) to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for judicial review of a final adjustment; (d) to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the Internal Revenue Service at any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the Internal Revenue Service, to file a petition for judicial review with respect to such request; (e) to enter into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service to extend the period for assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and (f) to take any other action on behalf of the Partners or the Partnership in connection with any administrative or judicial tax proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations. C. The Partnership shall indemnify and reimburse the Tax Matters Partner for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Partners. The payment of all such expenses shall be made before any distributions are made or any discretionary reserves are set aside by the General Partner. In the event that funds are not available from the Partnership for such expenses, the General Partner shall have the obligation to provide funds for such purpose. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole discretion of the Tax Matters Partner and the provisions on limitations of liability of the General Partner and indemnification set forth in Section 8.07 of this Agreement shall be fully applicable to the Tax Matters Partner in its capacity as such. 11.12 Capital Accounts A. A Capital Account shall be maintained on the books of the Partnership for each Partner, which shall be (i) credited with its Capital Contributions and the amount of any Partnership liabilities that are assumed by such Partner or that are secured by any Partnership property distributed to such Partner; (ii) credited with its distributive share of Taxable Income and any income of the Partnership that is exempt from federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Taxable Income; (iii) charged with its distributive share of Tax Losses and any nondeductible expenditures of the Partnership (including Syndication Expenses) described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(iv)(i) and not otherwise taken into account under this Section 11.12; and (iv) charged with any distributions to it and with the amount of any liabilities of such Partner that are assumed by the Partnership or that are secured by any property contributed by such Partner to the Partnership. In the case of property other than cash contributed to the Partnership or distributed to a Partner, each Partner's Capital Account will be credited with the Gross Asset Value of property contributed to the Partnership (net of liabilities assumed by the Partnership and liabilities to which such contributed property is subject) and shall be debited with the cash and the Gross Asset Value of property distributed to it (net of liabilities assumed by such Partner and liabilities to which such distributed property is subject). In the event the Gross Asset Values of Partnership assets are adjusted pursuant to Section 11.12B hereof, the Capital Accounts of all Partners shall be adjusted simultaneously to reflect the aggregate net adjustment as if the Partnership recognized gain or loss equal to the amount of such aggregate net adjustment. Upon the sale, exchange or other transfer of an Interest, or the assignment of such Interest to a new Partner, the Capital Account of the transferor Partner shall carry over to the transferee Partner. B. For purposes of determining and maintaining the Partners' Capital Accounts, the Gross Asset Value of Partnership assets shall be adjusted as follows: (i) The initial Gross Asset Value of any asset contributed by a Partner to the Partnership shall be the gross fair market value of such asset, as determined by the contributing Partner and the Partnership; (ii) The Gross Asset Values of all Partnership assets shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, as determined by the General Partner, as of the following times: (a) the acquisition of an additional Interest in the Partnership by any new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution; (b) upon liquidation of the Partnership, or upon the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of money or other Partnership property to a retiring or continuing Partner as consideration for an Interest in the Partnership or (c) under generally accepted industry accounting practices, provided substantially all of the Partnership's property (excluding money) consists of stock, securities, commodities, options, warrants, futures, or similar instruments that are readily tradable on an established securities market; and (iii) If the Gross Asset Value of an asset has been determined or adjusted pursuant to subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 11.12B, such Gross Asset Value shall thereafter be adjusted by the Book Depreciation taken into account with respect to such asset for purposes of computing Book Profits and Losses, as set forth in Section 11.12B. C. For purposes of determining and maintaining the Partners' Capital Accounts and the computation of Book Profits and Losses only, the following adjustments shall be made to the calculation of Taxable Income and Tax Losses reflected in the Partners' Capital Accounts: (i) Gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Partnership property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from its Gross Asset Value; and (ii) In lieu of the depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such Taxable Income or Tax Losses, there shall be taken into account Book Depreciation for such fiscal year or other period, computed as hereinafter set forth. (iii) For this purpose, "Book Depreciation" means, for each fiscal year or other period, an amount equal to the depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction allowable with respect to an asset for such year or other period, except that if the Gross Asset Value of an asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such year or other period, Book Depreciation shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning Gross Asset Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deductions for such year or other period bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis. (iv) Allocations of Book Profits and Losses among the Partners shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI respecting allocations of Taxable Income and Tax Losses among the Partners. 11.13. Authority of General Partner to Vary Allocations to Preserve and Protect Partner's Intent. (a) It is the intent of the Partners that each Partner's distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) shall be determined and allocated in accordance with this Article XI 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 Article XI, the General Partner hereby are authorized and directed to allocate income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) arising in any year differently than otherwise provided for in this Article XI to the extent that allocating income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or item thereof) in the manner provided for in Article XI would cause the determinations and allocations of each Partner's distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) not to be permitted by Section 704 (b) of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Any allocation made pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall be deemed to be a complete substitute for any allocation otherwise provided for in this Article XI and no amendment of this Agreement or approval of any Partner shall be required. (b) In making any allocation (the "new allocation") under Section 11.13(a), the General Partner is authorized to act only after having been advised by the Accountants that, under Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (i) the new allocation is necessary, and (ii) the new allocation is the minimum modification of the allocations otherwise provided for in this Article XI necessary in order to assure that, either in the then current year or in any preceding year, each Partner's distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) is determined and allocated in accordance with this Article XI to the fullest extent permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. (c) If the General Partner is required by Section 11.13(a) to make any new allocation in a manner less favorable to any Partner than is otherwise provided for in this Article XI, then the General Partner are authorized and directed, only after having been advised by the Accountants that it is permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code, to allocate income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) arising in later years in such manner so as to bring the allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) to such Partner as nearly as possible to the allocations thereof otherwise contemplated by this Article XI.

Winding Up and Distribution.

Upon the complete liquidation and distribution of the Partnership assets, the Partners shall cease to be Partners of the Partnership, and the Liquidator shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed all certificates and notices required by the law to terminate the Partnership.

Neither the Operating Partnership nor the General Partner has received any notice from any source whatsoever of the existence of any such hazardous condition relating to the Project or of any violation of any local, state or federal law or regulation with respect to the Project except for those notices expressly disclosed to the Limited Partners of which the Limited Partners have actual knowledge. 1.15 At the time of completion of rehabilitation of the Project, the Project will not contain in a level above that deemed safe by all applicable governmental agencies, any substance known to be hazardous, such as hazardous waste, lead-based paint, asbestos, methane gas, urea formaldehyde insulation, oil, toxic substances, underground storage tanks, polychlorinated biphenals (PCBs), and radon; the Project is not affected by the presence of oil, toxic substances, or other pollutants that could be a detriment to the Project nor will the Operating Partnership in violation of any local, state, or federal law or regulation; and no violation of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Toxic Substance Control Act, Safe Drinking Water Control Act, Comprehensive Environmental Resource Compensation and Liability Act, or Occupational Safety and Health Act shall be present or continuing. Neither the Operating Partnership nor the General Partner shall be in receipt of any notice from any source whatsoever of the existence of any such hazardous condition relating to the Project or of any violation of any local, state or federal law or regulation with respect to the Project which such hazardous condition or violation has not been cured. 1.16 To the best of the undersigned's current knowledge of property values in the area where the Project is located, and based upon the level of permanent debt financing for the Project reflect in Exhibit A, and that certain operating Pro-Forma dated as of December 31, 1996, attached as Exhibit A-1 (the "Pro-Forma"), it is expected that the fair market value of the Operating Partnership's building(s) at the end of each year taking into account value attributable to a reservation of low income housing tax credits and/or below market financing, as well as the use restrictions imposed on the Project, will be greater than the total amount of the Operating Partnership's liabilities, including accrued interest on such liabilities. 1.17 The General Partner of the Operating Partnership is not a tax-exempt entity. 1.18 If any shareholder or other affiliate of the General Partner is a tax-exempt entity and the General Partner is a "controlled entity" in relation to such tax-exempt entity, a timely election will be made under Code Section 168(h)(6)(F) so that no portion of the Project will be treated as "tax exempt use property" as defined in Code Section 168(h). 1.19 All representations made by the General Partner in the Partnership Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and are confirmed. 1.20 There is a reasonable expectation that the Operating Partnership will be able to repay, as due, the principal and interest on the projected loans to the Operating Partnership based on the projected value of the Operating Partnership's property and building(s) and the projection of income and expenses reflected in the pro-forma attached as Exhibit A-1. 1.21 An Extended Use Commitment (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) within the meaning of Code Section 42(h)(6) will be in effect with respect to the building(s) not later than the end of the taxable year in which any credit is taken with respect to any building. 1.22 The Project is located in a qualified census tract which qualifies the Project for the 130% basis boost pursuant to Code Section 42. The Project meets all other requirements for satisfying the 130% basis boost, and any HOME funding being loaned to the Partnership bears interest at no less than the "applicable federal rate" so that it does not meet the definition of a "below market federal loan" under Code Section 42 and will therefore not prohibit the Partnership from taking advantage of the 130% basis boost. 1.23 The amounts payable in development and property management fees to Veterans Benefits Clearinghouse Development Corporation and Gibraltar Associates, respectively, are fair in light of the value and magnitude of the services rendered in consideration for such fees, and the services performed in consideration for the development fees relate solely to the acquisition or construction of the Project. 1.24 For any building(s) not placed in service prior to December 31, 1994, (i) the Operating Partnership's basis in such building (including its respective lot) as of the close of 1994 was at least 10% of the Operating Partnership's reasonably expected basis in such building as of the close of calendar year 1996 and (ii) the Operating Partnership entered into a Carryover Allocation Agreement with the Agency dated as of December 30, 1994. 1.25 The Operating Partnership shall elect to defer the start of the Credit Period pursuant to Code Section 42(f) until 1997 and include in eligible basis those additional rehabilitation expenses incurred in the first year of the Credit Period. 1.26 Each of the representations made by the General Partner in the Conditional Reservation of Low Income Housing Tax Credits between the Agency and the Operating Partnership dated as of November 9, 1996 (the "Credit Reservation Agreement") is true and correct as of the date hereof. 1.27 Each of the covenants, agreements, and conditions contained in the Credit Reservation Agreement has been duly performed or satisfied by the Operating Partnership or its General Partner, as applicable, to the extent that performance of any such covenant or agreement or satisfaction of any condition is required on or prior to the date hereof, and the General Partner has no reason to believe that the covenants, agreements, and conditions of such Credit Reservation Agreement and the Carryover Agreement required to be performed or satisfied after the date hereof will not be performed or satisfied in a timely manner. 1.28 The General Partner has not received from the Agency any notice of default or of withdrawal or cancellation of the Tax Credit reservation or allocation to the Operating Partnership as described in the Credit Reservation Agreement. 1.29 At the time the Limited Partners are admitted into the Operating Partnership, the General Partner will have an aggregate net worth calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals but not including the value of any equity or debt interest such General Partner as in the Operating Partnership, equal to at least ten percent (10%) of the Capital Contributions to the Operating Partnership, or in the alternative the General Partner shall at the time the Limited Partners are admitted into the Operating Partnership, satisfy at least one of the requirements set forth in the last sentence of Section 4.07 of Internal Revenue Service Procedure 89-12, as the same may be modified from time to time. 1.30 The General Partner will not reduce its aggregate interest, as General Partner, in the Operating Partnership below 1% of all material items of the Operating Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit. 1.31 The General Partner and any entity that is related to such General Partner, or to the Operating Partnership and that receives a fee from the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, is on the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes. 1.32 Veterans Benefits Clearinghouse Development Corporation is the developer of the Project pursuant to the Development Agreement by and between the Operating Partnership and Veterans Benefits Clearinghouse Development Corporation dated as of December 31, 1996 (the "Development Agreement"), and is on a cash- basis method of accounting for tax purposes. 1.33 The General Partner will be actively involved in the management and operation of the Operating Partnership, will devote substantial and continuing attention to the activities of the Operating Partnership, and will provide substantial services to the Operating Partnership. 1.34 The development and leasing activity in which the Operating Partnership will engage will not contain any material personal or recreational benefit for the members of the Operating Partnership. 1.35 The Operating Partnership will keep active records and carry out the proposed activity in a manner consistent with profitable businesses in the same activity. 1.36 The Operating Partnership will have an objective to carry on business for profit and divide the gains therefrom. 1.37 The Operating Partnership may earn a profit, including profit from appreciation in the value of the Project. 1.38 The Mortgage Loans and all other debt financing of the Project requires the noncontingent repayment of principal on or before a fixed maturity date, and will be considered and treated as a loans by Lenders. 1.39 None of the Operating Partnership's Lenders is a party from whom the Operating Partnership acquired any portion of the Project, and none of the financing was issued in exchange for any portion of the Project. None of the Operating Partnership's Lenders will receive a fee with respect to the Operating Partnership's investment in the Apartment. 1.40 Following is a description of any and all existing or proposed financing of the Project that involves any direct or indirect grant or federal subsidy (including without limitation federal grants, below-market interest rate loans, and tax-exempt bonds): $600,000 Loan from Fleet National Bank, as agent for the city of Boston acting by and through its Public Facilities Commission by the Director of the Public Facilities Department ("PFD") and allocated as follows: a) $300,000 from PFD"s Community Development Block Grant funds at one percent (1%) per annum interest rate; and b) $300,000 from Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development"s HOME funds at seven and one-half (7-1/2%) per annum interest rate. 1.41 The Project will not receive moderate rehabilitation assistance under Section 8(e)(2) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 other than that pursuant to the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1988. 1.42 If the Project is a scattered site project within the meaning of Code Section 42, 100% of the rental units in the Project will be rent-restricted within the meaning of Code Section 42. 1.43 All Units in the Project are to be of equal quality and all Project amenities are to be made available to all tenants on a comparable basis without separate fees. 2. Indemnification 2.01 The General Partner (for purposes of this Section 2.01, an "Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Limited Partners (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 Indemnified Party against and from any and all claims, suits, actions, debts, damages, costs, charges, losses, obligations, judgments, and expenses, of any nature whatsoever, suffered or incurred by the Investment Partner, under or on account of the Hazardous Waste Laws or any similar laws or regulations, including the assertion of any lien thereunder, except for claims, suits, actions, debts, damages, costs, charges, losses, obligations, judgments, or expenses arising from the Investment Partner's own negligence, misconduct or fraud. For purposes of this Certification and Agreement, "Hazardous Substances" means oil, petroleum or chemical liquids or solids, liquid or gaseous products or any hazardous wastes or hazardous substances, as those terms are used in the Hazardous Waste Laws; and "Hazardous Waste Laws" means the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, and any other federal, state or local law governing Hazardous Substances, as such laws may be amended from time to time. 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 No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under the indemnity agreements contained in Section 2.01 herein 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 herein. 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 arrangements satisfactory to any other Indemnifying Party or parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel who shall be reasonably 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. 3. Miscellaneous 3.01 This Certification and Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the Operating Partnership, the General Partner, Hinckley, Allen & Snyder and the Limited Partners (and, to the extent provided in Section 2, the officers, directors, partners, employees and controlling persons referred to 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. 3.03 Terms defined in the Partnership Agreement but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Partnership Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have set their hands and seals as of the date first above written.
