Other Events On May 6, 1998, Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund IV L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, specifically Series 31 thereof (the "Partnership") entered into various agreements relating to Level Creek Partners, L.P., a Georgia limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), including the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership dated as of May 6, 1998 (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 is in the process of constructing a two hundred eighteen (218) unit apartment complex located at 1022 Level Creek Road in Sugar Hill, Georgia, which is known as Level Creek Apartments (the "Apartment Complex"). The Apartment Complex consists of fifteen (15) buildings containing forty (40) 1-bedroom units, one hundred (100) 2-bedroom units and seventy-eight (78) 3-bedroom units. Construction of the Apartment Complex is expected to be completed in March 1999 and 100% Occupancy is expected to be achieved in November 1999. The Operating Partnership is currently receiving combined construction and permanent financing in the amount of $12,790,000 from the Housing Authority of the City of Sugar Hill, Georgia ("Issuer"), in the form of a loan (the "Bond Loan") of the proceeds of tax-exempt variable rate bonds ("Bonds") issued by the Issuer. The Bonds are credit-enhanced with respect to the payment of principal and interest thereon by a letter of credit in the amount of $12,933,000 ("Letter of Credit") issued by AMSOUTH Bank of Alabama, and are subject to redemption upon expiration of the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit has an initial term of five (5) years, expiring on May 1, 2003, and has an option to renew for five (5) years in the absence of defaults. The Bonds were issued for a term of thirty (30) years, and bear interest at a variable rate (the "Base Rate"), initially set at 3.75% per annum at the date of issuance. The General Partner has purchased an interest-rate cap on the Bonds of 2.5% above the Base Rate for the initial 5-year term of the Letter of Credit. It is expected that 60% (130 units) of the rental apartment units in the Apartment Complex will 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 remaining 40% (88 units) of the rental units will be market-rate rentals. The general partner of the Operating Partnership is Sugar Hill Plantation Partners, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the "General Partner"). The Developer of the Apartment Complex is Spring Hill Partners, Inc., a Georgia corporation, and Signature Management Corp. will serve as the Management Agent of the Apartment Complex. Each of the Developer and the Management Agent are affiliated with the General Partner, and the affiliated group has experience developing and managing approximately 812 rental units, of which approximately 697 qualify for Tax Credits. The Builder of the Apartment Complex is Universal Constructors, Inc., a contractor whose experience includes a number of multi- family housing projects located throughout the southeastern United States. 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 $2,154,802 to the Operating Partnership in four installments as follows: (1) $1,508,362 on the latest to occur of (A) receipt of executed copies of the Bond documents listed in Exhibit B to the Operating Partnership Agreement confirming the issuance of the Bonds and that the Bonds meet the requirements of Section 42(h)(4)(B) of the Code, (B) Initial Closing, (C) the Admission Date, (D) receipt of an estoppel letter reasonably satisfactory to the Special Limited Partner from the Lender, (E) receipt of a commitment for sale of the Bonds from Merchant Capital, LLC or (F) execution of an escrow agreement, satisfactory to the Special Limited Partner, between the Investment Partnership and the Letter of Credit Issuer (the "First Installment"); (2) $215,480 on the latest to occur of (A) Substantial Completion, (B) Cost Certification, (C) State Designation, (D) receipt of updated insurance certificates and an updated title insurance policy satisfactory to the Special Limited Partner, (E) confirmation by Boston Capital that outstanding Due Diligence Recommendations as set forth in Exhibit A to the Operating Partnership Agreement attached hereto have been addressed by the General Partners to the reasonable satisfaction of Boston Capital, (F) receipt of a payoff letter from the Contractor stating that all amounts payable to the Contractor have been paid in full and that the Operating Partnership is not in violation of the Construction Contract, (G) receipt of an estoppel certificate of Lender stating that there are no defaults on the Loan, (H) satisfaction of all of the conditions to the payment of the First Installment or (I) receipt of a valid and recorded Extended Use Commitment and receipt of a subordination agreement from the Lender (the "Second Installment"); (3) $215,480 on the latest to occur of (A) the Initial 100% Occupancy Date, (B) Final Closing, (C) Rental Achievement or (D) satisfaction of all of the conditions to the payment of the First and Second Installments (the "Third Installment"); and (4) $215,480 on the latest to occur of (A) receipt of a tax return and audited financial statement for the year in which Rental Achievement occurred or (B) satisfaction of all of the conditions to payment of the First, Second, and Third Installments (the "Fourth Installment"). The total Capital Contribution of the Partnership to the Operating Partnership is based on the Operating Partnership receiving $2,993,080 of Tax Credits during the 10-year period commencing in 1999 of which 99.99% ($2,992,781) will be allocated to the Partnership as the Investment Limited Partner of 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.

The Operating Partnership will pay to the General Partner a fee (the "Partnership Incentive Management Fee") commencing in 2000 for services in connection with the administration of the day-to-day business of the Operating Partnership in an annual amount equal to $30,000 per annum. The Partnership Incentive Management Fee for each fiscal year of the Operating Partnership shall be payable from Cash Flow in the manner and priority set forth in Section 11.03(A) of the Operating Partnership Agreement to the extent Cash Flow is available therefor for such year; provided, however, that if in any fiscal year Cash Flow is insufficient to pay the full amount of the Partnership Incentive Management Fee, the unpaid portion thereof shall accrue and be payable on a cumulative basis in the first year in which there is sufficient Cash Flow or from the proceeds of a Capital Transaction, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Sections 11.03A and 11.04A of the Operating Partnership Agreement.

(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 TC "11.03 Distribution of Cash Flow"\l2 . 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 Partners deem appropriate, but in no event less than once in each fiscal year, in the following order of priority: (a) First, to payment of the Asset Management Fee currently due, together with any accrued but unpaid Asset Management Fees; (b) Second, for each of the first five years of operation from and after Rental Achievement, to payment of $130,000 annually to the Cash Flow Reserve Account.

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 such amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner as an incentive fee. 11.05 Allocations Among Partners TC "Section 11.05 Allocations Among Partners"\l2 . 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 Partners 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. 11.06. Qualified Income Offset TC "Section 11.06. Qualified Income Offset"\l2 . (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 Partners. 11.07. Minimum Gain Allocations TC "Section 11.07. Minimum Gain Allocations"\l2 . 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 TC "Section 11.08 Regulatory Allocations"\l2 . 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 Partners 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 Partners 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 TC "Section 11.09. Partners' Partnership Non- recourse Liabilities"\l2 . 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 99.99% interest in Partnership Taxable Income or profits and the General Partners shall have a .01% interest in Partnership Taxable Income or profits. Section 11.10 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c) TC "Section 11.10 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c)"\l2 . 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 prop- erties 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 Partners 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 TC "11.11. Tax Matters Partner"\l2 . A.

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.

In the event that funds are not available from the Partnership for such expenses, the General Partners 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 Partners 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 TC "11.12. Capital Accounts"\l2 . 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 Partners, 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 tradeable 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; (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; and (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 TC "11.13. Authority of General Partner to Vary Allocations to Preserve and Protect Partner's Intent"\l2 . (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 is 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. (d) New allocations made by the General Partner under Section 11.13(a) and Section 11.13(c) in reliance upon the advice of the Accountants shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary obligation of the General Partner 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.

(b) The Liquidator shall file all certificates and notices of the dissolution of the Partnership required by law. The Liquidator shall proceed without any unnecessary delay to sell and otherwise liquidate the Partnership's property and assets; provided, however, that if the Liquidator shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership property would cause undue loss to the Partners, then in order to avoid such loss, the Liquidator may, except to the extent provided by the Act, defer the liquidation as may be necessary to satisfy the debts and liabilities of the Partnership to Persons other than the Partners.

The General Partner has also delivered to the Limited Partners or their affiliates all documents and other information which has been requested by such parties. Since the date of the financial statements for the General Partner previously delivered, there has been no material adverse change in the financial position of the General Partner. The estimates of occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and tax credits set forth on Exhibit A are reasonable in light of the knowledge and experience of the General Partner. 1.03 As of the date hereof, each of the representations contained in Exhibit B attached hereto is true, accurate and complete as to the Operating Partnership, and the General Partner and as to any of their affiliates, any of their predecessors and their affiliates' predecessors, any of their directors, officers, general partners and/or beneficial owners of ten percent (10%) or more of any class of their equity securities (beneficial ownership meaning the power to vote or direct the vote and/or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of such securities), as the case may be, and any promoters presently connected with them in any capacity. 1.04 Each of the representations and warranties con- tained in the Operating Partnership Agreement is true and correct as of the date hereof. 1.05 Each of the covenants and agreements of the Operating Partnership and the General Partner contained in the Operating Partnership Agreement has been duly performed to the extent that performance of any covenant or agreement is required on or prior to the date hereof. 1.06 All conditions to admission of the Limited Partners as limited partners of the Operating Partnership contained in the Operating Partnership Agreement have been satisfied. 1.07 No default by the Operating Partnership or the General Partner has occurred and is continuing under the Operating Partnership Agreement or any of the Project Documents (as such term is defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement). 1.08 The General Partner agrees to take all actions necessary to claim the Projected Credit, including, without limitation, the filing of Form 8609 with the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner. 1.09 No person or entity other than the Operating Partnership holds any legal or equity interest in the Apartment Complex, except for the Lender's security interest as set forth in the Loan Documents. 1.10 The Operating Partnership has the sole responsibility to pay all maintenance and operating costs, including all taxes levied and all insurance costs, attributable to the Apartment Complex. 1.11 The Operating Partnership, except to the extent it is protected by insurance and excluding any risk borne by lenders, bears the sole risk of loss if the Apartment Complex is destroyed or condemned or there is a diminution in the value of the Apartment Complex. 1.12 No person or entity except the Operating Partnership has the right to any proceeds, after payment of all indebtedness, from the sale, refinancing, or leasing of the Apartment Complex, other than the Management Agent's management fee, which is based on a percentage of rental income, under the Management Agreement. 1.13 The General Partner is not related in any manner to either of the Limited Partners, nor is the General Partner acting as an agent of the Limited Partners. 1.14 To the best of the undersigned's knowledge after due inquiry the Apartment Complex does 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 Apartment Complex is not affected by the presence of oil, toxic substances, or other pollutants that could be a detriment to the Apartment Complex nor is 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 has occurred or is continuing. 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 Apartment Complex or of any violation of any local, state or federal law or regulation with respect to the Apartment Complex. 1.15 Based on that certain real estate appraisal prepared for the Partnership by CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. Appraisal Services dated October 29, 1997 and the undersigned's knowledge of property values in the area where the Apartment Complex is located, and based upon the level of permanent debt financing for the Apartment Complex, there is a reasonable expectation that the fair market value of the Apartment Complex, taking into account value attributable to the Low Income Housing Tax Credits and/or below market financing, as well as the use restrictions imposed on the Apartment Complex, will be greater than the total amount of the Operating Partnership's liabilities at the date of closing. 1.16 None of the partners of the Operating Partnership or of the General Partner is a tax-exempt entity. 117.

Donald 210 21.0% 1.18 No person or entity who has economic risk of loss with respect to the Loan, including, without limitation the guarantors under that certain Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement by and among the Operating Partnership, the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Lender, owns or will at any time in the future own, individually or in the aggregate, more than 79% of the aggregate issued and outstanding stock of the General Partner. 1.19 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 Apartment Complex will be treated as "tax exempt use property" as defined in Code Section 168(h). 1.20 All representations made by the General Partner in the Operating Partnership Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and are confirmed. 1.21 It is reasonable to expect that the Operating Partnership will be able to repay, as and when 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 rental income and expense from operations set forth in Exhibit A, assuming a rate of inflation of operating income and expense during the term of the Loans that is reasonable for the area in which the Apartment Complex is located. 1.22 An Extended Use Commitment (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement) within the meaning of Code Section 42(h)(6) will be in effect and recorded in the appropriate land evidence records with respect to the building(s) in the Apartment Complex not later than the end of the first taxable year in which any Tax Credit is taken with respect to any building. If not in effect as of the date hereof, the General Partner agrees (i) to deliver a valid and binding Extended Use Agreement and evidence that it has been recorded no later than the end of the first taxable year in which any Tax Credit is taken with regard to any building and (ii) to ensure that all Partnership lenders subordinate their mortgage liens on the Apartment Complex to the Extended Use Agreement at or prior to the time it is recorded. 1.23 The amounts payable in development and property management fees to the General Partner, initial Management Agent and the Developer 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, construction or renovation of the Apartment Complex. 1.24 To the best of the General Partner's knowledge, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credits allocated to the Apartment Complex will not exceed the amount the Agency determines is necessary for the financial feasibility of the Apartment Complex and its viability as a qualified low-income housing project throughout the credit period. 1.25 To the best of the General Partner's knowledge, the proposed operations of the Apartment Complex and the Partnership satisfy the requirements of the State's Qualified Allocation Plan, including any specific targeting, set-asides or other factors upon which the Georgia Department of Community Affairs based its determination that the proposed operations of the Apartment Complex and the Partnership satisfy the Qualified Allocation Plan. 1.26 The Operating Partnership has not elected pursuant to Code Section 42 to lock in the applicable Tax Credit rate prior to placement in service of each building. 1.27 Each of the representations and disclosures made by the Operating Partnership to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (the "Agency") in the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Allocation Application (the "Credit Application") upon which the letter from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs dated November 19, 1997 determining that the project meets the requirements of Georgia's 1997 Qualified Allocation Plan (the "Credit Reservation Agreement") was based, is true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof. 1.28 Each of the covenants, agreements, and conditions contained in the Credit Application and Credit Reservation Agreement entered into by and between the Agency and the Operating Partnership, has been duly performed or satisfied by the Operating Partnership or the General Partner, as applicable, to the extent that performance of any such covenant or agreement or satisfaction of any conditions is required on or prior to the date hereof, and the General Partner has no reason to believe that the covenants, agreements, and conditions required to be performed or satisfied after the date hereof will not be performed or satisfied in a timely manner. 1.29 The General Partner has not received from the Agency any notice of default or of withdrawal or cancellation of the Tax Credit [Reservation] the Operating Partnership as described in the [Credit Reservation Agreement]. 1.30 The General Partner and any entity that is related to the General Partner or to the Operating Partnership and that receives a fee from the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, is on the cash method of accounting for tax purposes. If any fee received by the General Partner is treated as a guaranteed payment under Section 707(c) of the Code, the General Partner will recognize such fee as income at the time such fee is accrued by the Operating Partnership. 1.31 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. 1.32 The development and leasing activity in which the Operating Partnership will engage will not contain personal or recreational benefit for the partners of the Operating Partnership. 1.33 The Operating Partnership will keep active records and carry out the proposed activity in a manner consistent with profitable businesses in the same activity. 1.34 The Operating Partnership will have an objective to carry on businesses for profit and divide the gains therefrom. 1.35 The Operating Partnership may earn a profit, including profit from appreciation in the value of the Apartment Complex. 1.36 The Loan and all other debt financing of the Apartment Complex require the noncontingent repayment of principal on or before a fixed maturity date, and will be considered and treated as a loan by the Lender. 1.37 None of the Operating Partnership's Lenders is a party from whom the Operating Partnership acquired any portion of the Apartment Complex, and none of the financing was issued in exchange for any portion of the Apartment Complex. None of the Operating Partnership's Lenders will receive a fee with respect to the Operating Partnership's investment in the Apartment Complex, except for fees payable to the Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer under the Loan Documents. 1.38 Following is a description of any and all existing or proposed financing of the Apartment Complex that involves any direct or indirect grant or federal subsidy (including, without limitation, federal grants, below-market interest rate loans, and tax-exempt bonds): The $12,790,000 Loan is funded with the proceeds of tax- exempt bonds. 1.39 The Project will not receive moderate rehabilitation assistance under Section 8(e)(2) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (unless pursuant to the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1988). 1.40 All Units in the Apartment Complex are to be of comparable quality for similarly sized units and all Apartment Complex amenities are to be made available to all tenants on a comparable basis without separate fees except for one unit in which the on-site manager shall reside. 1.41 There will be no direct or indirect personal liability of the Operating Partnership or of any of the Partners for the repayment of the principal of and payment of interest on the Loan, and the sole recourse of the Lender under the Loan, with respect to the principal thereof and interest thereon, will be to the property securing the indebtedness. 1.42 If necessary to insure that 100% of the Projected Credit is available to the Project, the Partnership will elect to defer the commencement of the tax credit period in accordance with Section 42(f)(1)(b). 1.43 At least 50% of the aggregate basis of the Land and buildings comprising the Apartment Complex will be financed by the Loan. 1.44 The Loan will be funded by tax exempt bonds, the interest on which is exempt from tax under Code Section103; such bonds are subject to the volume cap imposed by Code Section 146; and principal payments on the Loan are to be applied within a reasonable period to redeem such bonds. 2. Indemnification 2.01 The General Partner (for purposes of this Section 2.01, jointly and severally, the "Indemnifying Parties" or, individually, 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 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 its 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 in connection with the Land and/or the Apartment Complex, as each term is defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement, under any statute, regulation, ordinance, or other provision of federal, state, or local law 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, 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 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 No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under the indemnity agreements contained in Section 2.01 unless the Indem- nified 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 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 Limited Partners, Hinckley, Allen & Snyder, and Hendrick, Phillips, Schemm & Salzman, (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.
