                         NOTES TO PROFORMA BALANCE SHEET


NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The information  contained in the following notes to the proforma  balance sheet
is condensed from that which appears in the financial  statements.  Accordingly,
these proforma  financial  statements should be reviewed in conjunction with the
financial  statements and related notes thereto contained in the WNC Housing Tax
Credit Fund VI, L.P.,  Series 5 financial  statements  dated June 30, 1998.  WNC
Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P.,  Series 5 is referred to in these notes as the
"Partnership."

NOTE 2 - INTRODUCTION TO PROFORMA ADJUSTMENTS

As of June 30, 1998, the Partnership was admitted as majority limited partner in
ten limited partnerships (Bradley Villas Limited Partnership,  Chillicothe Plaza
Apartments,  L.P., Concord Apartment Partners,  L.P., El Reno Housing Associates
Limited  Partnership,  Hillcrest Heights L.P., Hughes Villa Limited Partnership,
Mark Twain Senior Community  Limited  Partnership,  Murfreesboro  Villas Limited
Partnership, Spring Valley Terrace Apartments L.L.C. and United Development Co.,
L.P. 97.2).  Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Partnership has acquired a limited
partnership  interest in one limited  partnership  (United Development Co., L.P.
97.1("United  97.1"));  and is  negotiating  to acquire the limited  partnership
interest in one other  partnership.  These investments commit the Partnership to
capital contributions as follows:


                       APT HOUSING THEODORE          $  1,312,916
                       UNITED 97.1                      1,844,494
                                                        ---------
                                                     $  3,157,410

In accordance with Article 11, Proforma Financial  Information of Regulation S-X
of the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  the  accompanying  proforma balance
sheet was computed assuming that the limited  partnerships  discussed above were
acquired at the end of the period  presented.  The first  adjustment to cash and
the  adjustment to partners'  equity of $281,320,  reflect the net proceeds from
July 1, 1998 to August, 19, 1998 from issuance of 362 units of limited partners'
capital ($362,000 less notes receivable of $30,000, and commissions and offering
costs of $50,680). The second adjustment to cash and the

NOTE 2 - INTRODUCTION TO PROFORMA ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)

adjustment to subscriptions  receivable of $1,644,250  reflect the collection of
subscriptions  receivable  from the above sale of limited  units and those units
previously sold. The adjustments to investment in limited partnerships and notes
payable  to  limited   partnerships  of  $3,157,410  reflect  the  Partnership's
acquisition  of the two limited  partnership  interests as if the  Partnership's
date of acquisition  was June 30, 1998.  The second  adjustment to investment in
limited  partnerships  and the third  adjustment to cash of $23,240  reflect the
acquisition fee for the acquisition of the identified limited partnerships

The two apartment complexes were under construction or rehabilitation during the
period presented and had no operations which should be reported. The Partnership
uses the equity  method of accounting  to account for its  investments  in these
local limited partnerships.

the Code, from the State Tax Credit Agency on or before December 31, 1997.

         Section 7.4       Reduction of Limited Partner's Capital Contribution.

         (a) If the anticipated  amount of Projected Tax Credits to be allocated
to the Limited  Partner and Special  Limited  Partner as  evidenced  by IRS Form
8609,  Schedule A  thereto,  and the  audited  construction  cost  certification
provided  to the  Limited  Partner  and  Special  Limited  Partner are less than
$2,692,961 the "Revised  Projected Tax Credits") then the Limited  Partner's and
Special Limited Partner's Capital  Contribution  provided for in Section 7.2 and
Section  7.5  respectively  shall be reduced  by the amount  which will make the
total Capital Contribution to be paid by the Limited Partner and Special Limited
Partner to the Partnership  equal to 70% of the Revised Projected Tax Credits so
anticipated to be allocated to the Limited Partner and Special Limited  Partner.
If the Capital  Contribution  reduction  referenced  in this  Section  7.4(a) is
greater  than  the  remaining  Capital  Contribution  to be paid by the  Limited
Partner and the Special  Limited  Partner  then the General  Partner  shall have
ninety days from the date the General  Partner  receives  notice from either the
Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner to pay the shortfall.

         (b) The General  Partner is  required  to use its best  efforts to rent
100% of the  Project's  apartment  units to  Qualified  Tenants  throughout  the
Compliance  Period.  If at the end of each  calendar  year during the first five
calendar years following the year in which the Project is placed in service, the
Actual Tax Credit for any fiscal year or portion thereof is or will be less than
the Projected Annual Tax Credit,  or the Revised Projected Tax Credit calculated
on an annual basis ("Revised  Projected Annual Tax Credit"),  if applicable (the
"Annual Credit Shortfall"),  then, unless the Annual Credit Shortfall shall have
previously been addressed under Section  7.4(a),  the next Capital  Contribution
owed by the Limited  Partner or the Special  Limited Partner shall be reduced by


                                       20
<PAGE>

the Annual  Credit  Shortfall  amount,  and any  portion of such  Annual  Credit
Shortfall  in excess of such  Capital  Contribution  shall be  applied to reduce
succeeding  Capital  Contributions of the Limited Partner or the Special Limited
Partner.  If the Annual Credit  Shortfall is greater than the Limited  Partner's
and Special Limited Partner's  remaining Capital  Contributions then the General
Partner shall pay to the Limited  Partner and Special Limited Partner the excess
of the Annual Credit  Shortfall over the remaining  Capital  Contributions.  The
General  Partner shall have ninety days to pay the Annual Credit  Shortfall from
the date the General Partner  receives notice from either the Limited Partner or
the Special Limited Partner.

         (c) In the event that, for any reason, at any time after the first five
calendar  years  following  the year in which the  Project is placed in service,
there is an Annual Credit  Shortfall,  then,  unless the Annual Credit Shortfall
shall have  previously  been addressed  under Section 7.4(a) or Section  7.4(b),
there  shall be a  reduction  in the General  Partner's  share of Net  Operating
Income in an amount equal to the Annual Credit Shortfall and said amount instead
shall be paid to the  Limited  Partner.  In the event  there are not  sufficient
funds to pay the full Annual Credit Shortfall to the Limited Partner at the time
of the next Distribution of Net Operating Income,  then the unpaid Annual Credit
Shortfall  shall be  repaid  in the next  year in which  sufficient  monies  are
available from the General  Partner's Net Operating  Income. In the event a Sale
or  Refinancing  of the Project  occurs prior to repayment in full of the Annual
Credit  Shortfall  then  the  excess  will be paid in  accordance  with  Section
11.2(b).

         (d) The General  Partner  has  represented,  in part,  that the Limited
Partner  will  receive  Projected  Annual Tax  Credits of  $234,489  in 1999 and
$269,269 in 2000.  In the event the 1999 and 2000  Projected  Annual Tax Credits
are less than projected then the Limited Partner's Capital Contribution shall be
reduced by an amount equal to 68.5% times the  difference  between the Projected
Annual Tax  Credits  for 1999 and 2000 and the Actual Tax  Credits  for 1999 and
2000. If the 1999 and 2000 Tax Credits are less than  projected then the Special
Limited  Partner's  Capital  Contribution  shall be reduced  following  the same
equation referenced in the preceding sentence.  If, at the time of determination
thereof, the Capital Contribution  adjustment  referenced in this Section 7.4(d)
is  greater  than the  balance  of the  Limited  Partner's  or  Special  Limited
Partner's  Capital  Contribution  payment  which is then due,  if any,  then the
Capital  Contribution  reduction  amount shall be paid by the General Partner to
the Limited Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner within ninety days of the
General  Partner  receiving  notice of the reduction  from the Limited  Partners
and/or the Special Limited Partner.

         (e) The Partners recognize and acknowledge that the Limited Partner and
the Special Limited Partner are making their Capital  Contribution,  in part, on
the  expectation  that the  Projected  Tax Credits are allocated to the Partners
over the Tax Credit  Period.  If the  Projected Tax Credits are not allocated to


                                       21
<PAGE>

the Partners during the Tax Credit Period then the Limited Partner's and Special
Limited Partner's Capital Contribution shall be reduced by an amount agreed upon
by the Partners,  in good faith,  to provide the Limited Partner and the Special
Limited Partner with their anticipated internal rate of return.

         (f) In the event there is a  reduction  in the  qualified  basis of the
Project  for income tax  purposes  following  an audit by the  Internal  Revenue
Service (IRS) resulting in a recapture of Tax Credits previously claimed,  then,
in  addition  to any other  payments  to which the  Limited  Partner and Special
Limited  Partner are  entitled  under the terms of this Section 7.4, the General
Partner shall pay to the Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner the sum
of (1) the deficiency  assessed  against the Limited  Partner or Special Limited
Partner as a result of the Tax Credit recapture,  (2) any interest and penalties
imposed on the Limited  Partner or Special  Limited Partner with respect to such
deficiency,  and (3) an amount  sufficient to pay any tax liability  owed by the
Limited  Partner or Special  Limited  Partner  resulting from the receipt of the
amounts specified in (1) and (2).

         Section  7.5  Capital  Contribution  of Special  Limited  Partner.  The
Special Limited Partner shall make a Capital Contribution of $184 at the time of
the  Limited  Partner's  Capital  Contribution  payment  referenced  in  Section
7.2(b)(1) upon the same  conditions.  The Special  Limited Partner shall be in a
different  class from the Limited  Partner and,  except as  otherwise  expressly
stated in this Agreement,  shall not  participate in any rights  allocable to or
exercisable by the Limited Partner under this Agreement.

         Section  7.6  Return  of  Capital  Contribution.  From time to time the
Partnership  may have cash in excess of the amount  required  for the conduct of
the affairs of the Partnership, and the General Partner may, with the Consent of
the Special  Limited  Partner,  determine that such cash should,  in whole or in
part,  be returned to the  Partners,  pro rata,  in reduction  of their  Capital
Contribution.  No such  return  shall  be made  unless  all  liabilities  of the
Partnership  (except  those to Partners  on account of amounts  credited to them
pursuant  to this  Agreement)  have  been  paid or there  remain  assets  of the
Partnership  sufficient,  in the sole discretion of the General Partner,  to pay
such liabilities.

         Section 7.7 Liability of Limited Partner and Special  Limited  Partner.
The Limited  Partner and Special  Limited Partner shall not be liable for any of
the debts, liabilities,  contracts or other obligations of the Partnership.  The
Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner shall be liable only to make Capital
Contributions  in the amounts and on the dates  specified in this Agreement and,
except as otherwise expressly required hereunder,  shall not be required to lend
any funds to the Partnership or, after their  respective  Capital  Contributions
have been paid, to make any further Capital Contribution to the Partnership.

Project  required or  permitted  under this  Agreement  shall in all respects be
subject to the Tax Credit  Conditions  and all  conditions,  approvals  or other

paid by the Partnership to the extent practicable. Reimbursements to the General
Partner or any of its  Affiliates by the  Partnership  shall be allowed only for
the Partnership's  operating cash expenses and subject to the limitations on the
reimbursement of such expenses set forth herein. As used in this Section 9.8 the
term  "operating  cash expenses"  shall mean, with respect to any fiscal period,
the amount of cash disbursed by the Partnership for Partnership business in that

expenses,  including, but not limited to expenses for advertising and promotion,

General  Partner or any  Affiliate  of the  General  Partner  permitted  by this
Agreement and the actual cost of goods,  materials and  administrative  services
used for or by the  Partnership,  whether  incurred by the General  Partner,  an
Affiliate of the General  Partner or a  nonaffiliated  Person in performing  the
foregoing  functions.  As used in the preceding sentence,  "actual cost of goods
and  materials"  means the actual cost of goods and materials used for or by the
Partnership  and obtained from entities  which are not Affiliates of the General
Partner,  and actual cost of administrative  services means the pro rata cost of
personnel  (as if such persons were  employees  of the  Partnership)  associated
therewith,  but in no event to exceed  the  amount  which  would be  charged  by
nonaffiliated Persons for comparable goods and services.

         (b)  Reimbursement  to the General  Partner or any of its Affiliates of
operating cash expenses pursuant to Subsection (a) hereof, except for the return


                                       30
<PAGE>

of capital expended by the General Partner prior to the date hereof (which shall
be repaid out of the initial  Capital  Contribution),  the  Developer  Fee,  and
reimbursements to Managing Agent, shall be subject to the following:

                  (1) no such reimbursement  shall be permitted for services for
which the General  Partner or any of its Affiliates is entitled to  compensation
by way of a separate fee; and

                  (2) no  such  reimbursement  shall  be made  for  (A)  rent or
depreciation,  utilities,  capital equipment or other such administrative items,
and (B) salaries,  fringe  benefits,  travel  expenses and other  administrative
items incurred or allocated to any  "controlling  person" of the General Partner
or any  Affiliate  of the General  Partner.  For the  purposes  of this  Section
9.8(b)(2),  "controlling  person"  includes,  but is not limited to, any Person,
however titled,  who performs functions for the General Partner or any Affiliate
of the General  Partner similar to those of: (i) chairman or member of the board
of directors;  (ii) executive management,  such as president,  vice president or
senior  vice  president,   corporate   secretary  or  treasurer;   (iii)  senior
management,  such as the vice  president  of an  operating  division who reports
directly  to  executive  management;  or (iv) those  holding  5% or more  equity
interest in such General Partner or any such Affiliate of the General Partner or
a person  having  the power to direct or cause  the  direction  of such  General
Partner or any such  Affiliate  of the  General  Partner,  whether  through  the
ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

         Section 9.9 General Partner Expenses. The General Partner or Affiliates
of the  General  Partner  shall  pay  all  Partnership  expenses  which  are not
permitted to be  reimbursed  pursuant to Section 9.8 and all expenses  which are
unrelated to the business of the Partnership.

         Section  9.10  Other  Business  of  Partners.  Any  Partner  may engage
independently or with others in other business  ventures wholly unrelated to the
Partnership  business  of  every  nature  and  description,  including,  without
limitation, the acquisition, development, construction, operation and management
of real estate projects and developments of every type on their own behalf or on
behalf of other  partnerships,  joint  ventures,  corporations or other business
ventures  formed  by them or in  which  they may  have an  interest,  including,
without  limitation,  business  ventures  similar to, related to or in direct or
indirect  competition with the Project.  Neither the Partnership nor any Partner
shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship
created  hereby in or to such other  ventures or  activities or to the income or
proceeds  derived  therefrom.  Conversely,  no Person  shall  have any rights to
Partnership  assets,  incomes or  proceeds  by virtue of such other  ventures or
activities of any Partner.

         Section 9.11 Covenants,  Representations  and  Warranties.  The General
Partner covenants, represents and warrants that the following are presently true


                                       31

         (l) To the best of the General  Partner's  knowledge:  (1) no Hazardous
Substance  has been disposed of, or released to or from, or otherwise now exists
in, on,  under or around,  the Project  and (2) no  aboveground  or  underground
storage  tanks are now or have ever been  located on or under the  Project.  The
General  Partner will not install or allow to be installed  any  aboveground  or

Project  shall be kept  free of  Hazardous  Materials  and  shall not be used to
generate,  manufacture,  refine,  transport,  treat, store, handle,  dispose of,
transfer, produce or process Hazardous Materials,  except in connection with the

unsatisfied  obligation to make any payments of any kind to the General  Partner
or any Affiliate thereof.

         (s) No event has occurred which  constitutes a default under any of the
Project Documents.

         (t) No event has occurred which has caused, and the General Partner has
not acted in any manner which will cause (1) the  Partnership  to be treated for
federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation,  (2) the
Partnership  to fail to qualify as a limited  partnership  under the Act, or (3)
the Limited Partner to be liable for Partnership obligations;  provided however,
the General  Partner shall not be in breach of this  representation  if all or a
portion of a Limited  Partner's  agreed upon Capital  Contributions  are used to
satisfy the  Partnership's  obligations to creditors of the Partnership and such
action by the General Partner is otherwise  authorized under this Agreement and;
provided  further,  however,  the General Partner shall not be in breach of this
representation  if the action  causing the Limited  Partner to be liable for the
Partnership obligations is undertaken by the Limited Partner.

         (u) No event or  proceeding,  including,  but not limited to, any legal
actions or  proceedings  before any court,  commission,  administrative  body or

the general public.

         (v)  Neither  the   Partnership   nor  the  General   Partner  has  any
liabilities,  contingent or otherwise,  which have not been disclosed in writing

aggregate  affect the ability of the Limited  Partner to obtain the  anticipated
benefits of its investment in the Partnership.

<PAGE>

         (w) The General  Partner  and/or an acceptable  guarantor has and shall
maintain a net worth equal to at least  $1,000,000,  of which  $100,000 shall be
maintained  as liquid  assets  computed in accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

         The  General  Partner  shall be liable to the  Limited  Partner for any
costs,  damages,  loss of profits,  diminution in the value of its investment in
the Partnership, or other losses, of every nature and kind whatsoever, direct or
indirect,  realized  or  incurred  by the  Limited  Partner  as a result  of any
material breach of the  representations and warranties set forth in this Section
9.11.

         Section  9.12 Option to Acquire.  After  expiration  of the  Compliance
Period,  the General  Partner  may give notice (the "GP  Notice") to the Limited
Partner that it desires to purchase  the entire  Interest of each of the Limited
Partner and the Special Limited Partner in the Partnership.  Upon receipt by the
Limited  Partner and the Special  Limited  Partner,  the following  events shall
occur:

         (a) The Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner shall negotiate
with the General Partner for a period of 30 days after the GP Notice is received
to agree upon the value of their respective Interests. In the event an agreement
is not  reached  within  such 30-day  period,  then the  General  Partner or the
Special  Limited Partner may request that value be determined in accordance with
the process set forth below by sending notice (the  "Appraisal  Notice") of same
to the other party within 15 days of the expiration of the 30-day period.  If an
Appraisal Notice is not sent by either party within such 15-day period, then the
General Partner's option shall expire.

         (b) If the respective value of the Interests of the Limited Partner and
the Special Limited Partner are not agreed upon as provided above and either the
General  Partner or the Special  Limited  Partner  issues to the other Person an
Appraisal  Notice,  then the value of such  Interests  shall be determined by an
appraisal utilizing the income approach method. The appraisal shall be conducted
by an independent appraiser  satisfactory to the General Partner and the Special
Limited Partner or, in the event that a single  independent  appraiser cannot be
agreed upon  within 30 days  following  the date of the  Appraisal  Notice,  the
General Partner and the Special Limited Partner shall each select an independent
appraiser  and the  appraisers  so  selected  shall  select a third  independent
appraiser.  All  appraisers so designated  shall be  experienced  in accounting,
business or real estate  appraisal.  The appraiser or appraisers shall determine
the income approach value of the Interest of each of the Limited Partner and the
Special Limited Partner. The decision of the appraisers (if more than one) shall
be made by the majority of such  appraisers.  The appraiser or appraisers  shall
render  a  written  report  setting  forth  the  income  approach  value of such
Interests,  which decision shall be rendered as expeditiously as possible by the
appraiser or appraisers  and which  decision shall be final and binding upon the


                                       35
<PAGE>

parties.  The reasonable fees and expenses of the appraiser or appraisers  shall
be paid one-half by the General Partner and one-half by the Limited Partner.

         (c)  Following  determination  of  the  income  approach  value  of the
Project,  the General Partner shall have 30 days thereafter to determine whether
the General  Partner will purchase the Interests of the Limited  Partner and the
Special  Limited  Partner.  The purchase  price shall equal 20% of the appraised
value as determined above less repayment of all loans and accrued fees described
in 11.2(a) and 11.2(b). The General Partner shall exercise such right by written
notice to the Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner within such 30-day
period,  and if such right is not so  exercised,  the option  shall lapse in its
entirety.

         (d) If the General Partner determines to proceed with the purchase, the
purchase price shall be paid in cash, within 90 days following the giving of the
notice required by Section  9.12(c) and, in addition,  interest shall be paid on
the  purchase  price from the date of the GP Notice,  payable  with the purchase
price, and calculated at the rate of interest set forth in Section 6.3 hereof.

         Section  9.13 Right of First  Refusal.  If the Limited  Partner and the
Special  Limited  Partner  are  desirous  of  selling  their  Interests  in  the
Partnership  then they must first offer their Interests to the General  Partner.
For these  purposes,  the term "sell" shall  include any  transfer,  conveyance,
assignment,  hypothecation  or pledge of all or any  portion of such  Interests.
Before  the  Limited   Partner  and  the  Special   Limited   Partner   sell  or
unconditionally  agree to sell their  Interests,  they shall offer to sell their
Interests  to the General  Partner  (the  "Offer") on the terms and at the price
specified in Section 9.12 of this Agreement. The Offer shall contain the name of
the proposed  purchaser,  the proposed sale price,  the terms of the payment and
any other material terms and conditions on which the sale is to be  consummated.
The  General  Partner  shall have 30 days from  receipt of the Offer (the "Offer
Period") in which to accept or reject the Offer.  If the General  Partner  gives
timely notice of acceptance  of the Offer,  the Limited  Partner and the Special
Limited  Partner  shall be  obligated  to sell their  Interests  and the General
Partner shall be obligated to purchase the Interests on the terms and conditions
set forth in the Offer.  If the General  Partner does not give timely  notice of
acceptance  of the Offer,  then the  Limited  Partner  and the  Special  Limited
Partner may sell their  Interests  to the party  identified  in the Offer on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Offer.

                    ALLOCATIONS OF INCOME, LOSSES AND CREDITS

         Section 10.1 General. All items includable in the calculation of Income
or Loss not arising from a Sale or  Refinancing,  and all Tax Credits,  shall be
allocated 99.98% to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Special Limited Partner and
 .01% to the General Partner.

         Section  10.2  Allocations  From Sale or  Refinancing.  All  Income and
Losses  arising  from a Sale or  Refinancing  shall  be  allocated  between  the
Partners as follows:

         (a)      As to Income:

                  (1) first, an amount of Income equal to the aggregate negative
balances  (if any) in the  Capital  Accounts  of all  Partners  having  negative
Capital  Accounts  (prior to taking into account the Sale or Refinancing and the
Distribution  of the related  Sale or  Refinancing  Proceeds,  but after  giving
effect to  Distributions of Net Operating Income and allocations of other Income
and Losses pursuant to this Article X up to the date of the Sale or Refinancing)
shall be allocated to such  Partners in  proportion  to their  negative  Capital
Account balances until all such Capital Accounts shall have zero balances; and

                  (2) the balance,  if any, of such Income shall be allocated 
20% to the Limited  Partner and 80% to the General Partner.

         (b)      As to Losses:

                  (1) an  amount  of  Losses  equal  to the  aggregate  positive
balances  (if any) in the  Capital  Accounts  of all  Partners  having  positive
Capital  Accounts  (prior to taking into account the Sale or Refinancing and the
Distribution  of the related  Sale or  Refinancing  Proceeds,  but after  giving
effect to  Distributions  of Net Operating  Income and allocations of Income and
Losses pursuant to Section 10.1 up to the date of the Sale or Refinancing) shall
be allocated to such Partners in proportion to their  positive  Capital  Account
balances until all such Capital Accounts shall have zero balances; and

                  (2) the balance of any such Losses shall be allocated  99.98%
to the Limited  Partner,  .01% to the Special Limited Partner and .01% to the 
General Partner.

         (c)  Notwithstanding  the foregoing  provisions of Section  10.2(a) and
(b), in no event  shall any Losses be  allocated  to the Limited  Partner or the
Special Limited  Partner if and to the extent that such allocation  would create
or increase an Adjusted  Capital  Account Deficit for the Limited Partner or the
Special  Limited  Partner.  In the event an allocation of 99.98% or .01% of each


                                       37
<PAGE>

item  includable in the calculation of Income or Loss not arising from a Sale or
Refinancing,  would create or increase an Adjusted  Capital  Account Deficit for
the Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner,  respectively,  then so much
of the items of deduction other than projected  depreciation  shall be allocated
to the General  Partner  instead of the Limited  Partner or the Special  Limited
Partner as is  necessary  to allow the Limited  Partner or the  Special  Limited
Partner to be allocated  99.98% and .01%,  respectively,  of the items of Income
and Project  depreciation  without  creating or increasing  an Adjusted  Capital
Account Deficit for the Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner, it being
the intent of the  parties  that the Limited  Partner  and the  Special  Limited
Partner always shall be allocated 99.98% and .01%, respectively, of the items of
Income not arising from a Sale or Refinancing and 99.98% and .01%, respectively,
of the Project depreciation.

         Section 10.3  Special Allocations.  The following special  allocations
shall be made in the following order.

         (a) Except as otherwise  provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury
Regulations, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article X, if there is
a net decrease in Partnership  Minimum Gain during any Partnership  fiscal year,
each Partner shall be specially  allocated items of Partnership  income and gain
for such fiscal year (and, if necessary,  subsequent  fiscal years) in an amount
equal to such Person's  share of the net decrease in  Partnership  Minimum Gain,
determined  in  accordance  with  Treasury   Regulations   Section   1.704-2(g).
Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective  amounts required to be allocated to each Partner  pursuant  thereto.
The items to be so allocated  shall be  determined  in  accordance  with Section
1.704-2(f)(6)  and  1.704-2(j)(2)  of the  Treasury  Regulations.  This  Section
10.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain  chargeback  requirement  in
Section  1.704-2(f)  of  the  Treasury  Regulations  and  shall  be  interpreted
consistently therewith.

         (b)  Except as  otherwise  provided  in  Section  1.704-2(i)(4)  of the
Treasury Regulations,  notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X, if
there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to
a Partner  Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership  fiscal year, each Person who
has a share of the Partner  Nonrecourse  Debt Minimum Gain  attributable to such
Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of
the Treasury  Regulations,  shall be specially  allocated  items of  Partnership
income and gain for such  fiscal  year (and,  if  necessary,  subsequent  fiscal
years) in an amount equal to such Person's  share of the net decrease in Partner
Nonrecourse  Debt Minimum Gain  attributable to such Partner  Nonrecourse  Debt,
determined  in  accordance  with  Treasury  Regulations  Section  1.704-2(i)(4).
Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective  amounts required to be allocated to each Partner  pursuant  thereto.
The items to be so allocated  shall be determined  in  accordance  with Sections


                                       38
<PAGE>

1.704-2(i)(4)  and  1.704-2(j)(2)  of the  Treasury  Regulations.  This  Section
10.3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain  chargeback  requirement  in
Section  1.704-2(i)(4)  of the  Treasury  Regulations  and shall be  interpreted
consistently therewith.

         (c) In the event any Partner  unexpectedly  receives  any  adjustments,
allocations,   or  distributions   described  in  Treasury  Regulations  Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),    Section    1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5),    or    Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially
allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner  sufficient to eliminate,
to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit of such  Partner as quickly as  possible,  provided  that an  allocation
pursuant to this  Section  10.3(c)  shall be made if and only to the extent that
such Partner  would have an Adjusted  Capital  Account  Deficit  after all other
allocations  provided for in this Section 10.3 have been  tentatively made as if
this Section 10.3(c) were not in the Agreement.

         (d) In the event any Partner has a deficit  Capital  Account at the end
of any  Partnership  fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount
such Partner is obligated to restore, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed
to be obligated  to restore  pursuant to the  penultimate  sentences of Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be
specially  allocated items of Partnership  income and gain in the amount of such
excess as quickly as  possible,  provided  that an  allocation  pursuant to this
Section  10.3(d) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would
have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations
provided for in this Section 10.3 have been  tentatively made as if this Section
10.3(d) and Section 10.3(c) hereof were not in the Agreement.

         (e)  Nonrecourse  Deductions  for any fiscal  year  shall be  specially
allocated 99.98% to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Special Limited Partner and
 .01% to the General Partner.

         (f) Any  Partner  Nonrecourse  Deductions  for any fiscal year shall be
specially  allocated  to the  Partner who bears the  economic  risk of loss with
respect  to the  Partner  Nonrecourse  Debt to which  such  Partner  Nonrecourse
Deductions are  attributable  in accordance  with Treasury  Regulations  Section
1.704-2(i)(1).

         (g) To the  extent  an  adjustment  to the  adjusted  tax  basis of any
Partnership  asset  pursuant to Code Section  734(b) or Code  Section  743(b) is
required,  pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section  1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2)  or
Section1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4),  to be taken into account in determining Capital
Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of
his interest in the  Partnership,  the amount of such  adjustment to the Capital
Accounts  shall be treated as an item of gain (if the  adjustment  increases the
basis of the asset) or loss (if the  adjustment  decreases  such basis) and such
gain or loss shall be specially  allocated to the  Partners in  accordance  with


                                       39
<PAGE>

their  interests  in the  Partnership  in the event  that  Treasury  Regulations
Section  1.704-1  (b)(2)(iv)(m)(2)  applies,  or to the  Partner  to  whom  such
distribution   was  made  in  the  event  that  Treasury   Regulations   Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

         (h) To the extent the  Partnership  has  taxable  interest  income with
respect to any  promissory  note pursuant to Section 483 or Section 1271 through
1288 of the Code:

                  (1) such interest  income shall be specially  allocated to the
Limited Partner to whom such promissory note relates; and

                  (2) the amount of such interest  income shall be excluded from
the  Capital  Contributions  credited  to  such  Partner's  Capital  Account  in
connection with payments of principal with respect to such promissory note.

         (i) In the event the  adjusted tax basis of any  investment  tax credit
property  that has been  placed  in  service  by the  Partnership  is  increased
pursuant to Code Section 50(c), such increase shall be specially allocated among
the  Partners  (as an  item  in the  nature  of  income  or  gain)  in the  same
proportions as the investment tax credit that is recaptured with respect to such
property is shared among the Partners.

         (j) Any  reduction in the  adjusted tax basis (or cost) of  Partnership
investment tax credit property pursuant to Code Section 50(c) shall be specially
allocated among the Partners (as an item in the nature of expenses or losses) in
the same  proportions  as the  basis  (or cost) of such  property  is  allocated
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i).

         (k) Any  income,  gain,  loss or  deduction  realized  as a  direct  or
indirect  result  of the  issuance  of an  interest  in the  Partnership  by the
Partnership  to a Partner (the  "Issuance  Items") shall be allocated  among the
Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such Issuance Items,
together with all other allocations under this Agreement to each Partner,  shall
be equal to the net amount that would have been  allocated  to each such Partner
if the Issuance Items had not been realized.

         (l)  If any  Partnership  expenditure  treated  as a  deduction  on its
federal  income  tax  return is  disallowed  as a  deduction  and  treated  as a
distribution  pursuant to Section  731(a) of the Code,  there shall be a special
allocation  of  gross  income  to the  Partner  deemed  to  have  received  such
distribution equal to the amount of such distribution.

         (m) The  allocation  to the General  Partner of each  material  item of
Partnership income, loss, deduction or credit will not be less than .01% of each
such item at all times during the existence of the Partnership.

                                       40
<PAGE>

         (n) Interest deduction on the Partnership  indebtedness  referred to in
Section 6.3 shall be allocated 100% to the General Partner.

         Section  10.4  Curative  Allocations.  The  allocations  set  forth  in
Sections 10.2(c),  10.3(a),  10.3(b),  10.3(c),  10.3(d),  10.3(e), 10.3(f), and
10.3(g)  hereof  (the  "Regulatory  Allocations")  are  intended  to comply with
certain  requirements  of the  Treasury  Regulations.  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 Partnership  income,  gain,  loss, or deduction  pursuant to this
Section 10.4.  Therefore,  notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X
(other than the Regulatory Allocations), with the Consent of the Special Limited
Partner,  the General Partner shall make such offsetting special  allocations of
Partnership  income,  gain,  loss,  or deduction in whatever  manner the General
Partner, with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, determines appropriate
so that,  after such offsetting  allocations  are made,  each Partner's  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  Partnership  items were allocated  pursuant to Sections 10.1,
10.2(a),  10.2(b), 10.3(h), 10.3(i), 10.3(j), 10.3(k), 10.3(l), 10.3(m), 10.3(n)
and 10.5. In  exercising  its  authority  under this Section  10.4,  the General
Partner  shall take into account  future  Regulatory  Allocations  under Section
10.3(a) and 10.3(b)  that,  although  not yet made,  are likely to offset  other
Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 10.3(e) and 10.3(f).

         Section 10.5      Other Allocation Rules.

         (a) The  basis  (or  cost) of any  Partnership  investment  tax  credit
property  shall be allocated  among the  Partners in  accordance  with  Treasury
Regulations Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i).  All Tax Credits (other than the investment
tax credit) shall be allocated  among the Partners in accordance with applicable
law.  Consistent  with the  foregoing,  the  Partners  intend that LIHTC will be
allocated 99.98% to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Special Limited Partner and
 .01% to the General Partner.

         (b) In the event Partnership investment tax credit property is disposed
of during any taxable  year,  profits for such taxable year (and,  to the extent
such  profits are  insufficient,  profits for  subsequent  taxable  years) in an
amount  equal to the excess,  if any, of (1) the  reduction  in the adjusted tax
basis (or cost) of such property  pursuant to Code Section  50(c),  over (2) any
increase in the  adjusted  tax basis of such  property  pursuant to Code Section
50(c) caused by the  disposition  of such  property,  shall be excluded from the
profits allocated  pursuant to Section 10.1 and Section 10.2(a) hereof and shall
instead be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective shares
of such excess,  determined  pursuant to Section 10.3(i) and 10.3(j) hereof.  In
the event more than one item of such property is disposed of by the Partnership,


                                       41
<PAGE>

the foregoing  sentence shall apply to such items in the order in which they are
disposed of by the  Partnership,  so the profits  equal to the entire  amount of
such  excess  with  respect  to the first  such  property  disposed  of shall be
allocated  prior to any  allocations  with  respect to the second such  property
disposed of, and so forth.

         (c) For purposes of determining the Income,  Losses, or any other items
allocable  to any  period,  Income,  Losses,  and any such other  items shall be
determined  on a daily,  monthly,  or other basis,  as determined by the General
Partner with the Consent of the Special Limited  Partner,  using any permissible
method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

         (d) Solely for purposes of determining a Partner's proportionate share
of the "excess  nonrecourse liabilities" of the Partnership  within the meaning
of Treasury  Regulations  Section 1.752-3(a)(3),  the Partners' interests in 
Partnership profits are as follows:  Limited Partner:  99.98%;  Special Limited
Partner: .01%; General Partner: .01%.

         (e) To the extent  permitted by Section  1.704-2(h)(3)  of the Treasury
Regulations, the General Partner shall endeavor to treat Distributions as having
been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse  Liability or a Partner Nonrecourse
Debt only to the extent  that such  Distributions  would  cause or  increase  an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Partner who is not a General Partner.

         Section 10.6 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,  solely for tax purposes,  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 1.28(a) hereof).

         In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted
pursuant to Section  1.30(b)  hereof,  subsequent  allocations of income,  gain,
loss,  and  deduction  with  respect  to such asset  shall  take  account of 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 Special  Limited Partner in
any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.
Allocations  pursuant to this  Section  10.6 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 Person's  Capital Account or share of Income,  Losses,  other


                                       42
<PAGE>

items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

         Section 10.7 Allocation Among Limited  Partners.  In the event that the
Interest of the Limited  Partner  hereunder is at any time held by more than one
Limited  Partner  all items  which are  specifically  allocated  to the  Limited
Partner for any month pursuant to this Article X shall be apportioned among such
Persons according to the ratio of their respective  profit-sharing  interests in
the Partnership at the last day of such month.

         Section 10.8 Allocation Among General  Partners.  In the event that the
Interest of the General  Partner  hereunder is at any time held by more than one
General  Partner  all items  which are  specifically  allocated  to the  General
Partner for any month pursuant to this Article X shall be apportioned among such
Persons in such  percentages as may from time to time be determined by agreement
among them without amendment to this Agreement or consent of the Limited Partner
or Consent of the Special Limited Partner.

         Section 10.9 Modification of Allocations.  The provisions of Articles X
and XI and other  provisions  of this  Agreement  are  intended  to comply  with
Treasury  Regulations  Section 1.704 and shall be  interpreted  and applied in a
manner  consistent with such section of the Treasury  Regulations.  In the event
that the General Partner determines, in its sole discretion,  that it is prudent
to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts of the Partners, or any debit
or credit  thereto,  are  computed in order to comply  with such  section of the
Treasury Regulations,  the General Partner may make such modification,  but only
with  the  Consent  of  the  Special  Limited  Partner,  to the  minimum  extent
necessary,  to effect the plan of  allocations  and  Distributions  provided for
elsewhere  in this  Agreement.  Further,  the  General  Partner  shall  make any
appropriate  modifications,  but only with the  Consent of the  Special  Limited
Partner, in the event it appears that unanticipated  events (e.g., the existence
of a Partnership  election  pursuant to Code Section 754) might  otherwise cause
this Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704.

liabilities owing to Partners or former Partners;

with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, shall deem reasonably necessary
for  contingent,  unmatured or  unforeseen  liabilities  or  obligations  of the
Partnership; and

         (d) thereafter, 20% to the Limited Partner and 80% to the General 
Partner.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                              TRANSFERS OF LIMITED
                      PARTNER'S INTEREST IN THE PARTNERSHIP

         Section  12.1  Assignment  of  Limited   Partner's   Interest.   Except
assignments  to the  Southern  California  Bank to secure  capital  contribution
loans,  the Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner shall not have the right
to assign all or any part of their  respective  Interests  to any other  Person,
whether or not a Partner, except upon satisfaction of each of the following:

         (a) by a written  instrument in form and substance  satisfactory to the
General  Partner  and its  counsel,  setting  forth the name and  address of the


                                       44
<PAGE>

proposed transferee,  the nature and extent of the Interest which is proposed to
be transferred  and the terms and conditions upon which the transfer is proposed
to be made,  stating that the Assignee  accepts and agrees to be bound by all of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and providing for the payment of all
reasonable  expenses  incurred  by  the  Partnership  in  connection  with  such
assignment,  including  but not limited to the cost of preparing  any  necessary
amendment to this Agreement;

         (b) upon consent of the General Partner to such assignment, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld; and

         (c) upon  receipt  by the  General  Partner of the  Assignee's  written
representation  that the Partnership  Interest is to be acquired by the Assignee
for the  Assignee's  own account for  long-term  investment  and not with a view
toward resale, fractionalization, division or distribution thereof.

         THE LIMITED  PARTNERSHIP  INTEREST AND THE SPECIAL LIMITED  PARTNERSHIP
INTEREST  DESCRIBED  HEREIN HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 AS AMENDED OR UNDER ANY STATE  SECURITIES  LAW. THESE  INTERESTS MAY NOT BE
SOLD OR OTHERWISE  TRANSFERRED  UNLESS  REGISTERED UNDER APPLICABLE  FEDERAL AND
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

         Section 12.2  Effective  Date of Transfer.  Any assignment of a Limited
Partner's  Interest or Special Limited  Partner's  Interest  pursuant to Section
12.1 shall become  effective  as of the last day of the calendar  month in which
the last of the conditions to such assignment are satisfied.

         Section  12.3  Invalid  Assignment.  Any  purported  assignment  of  an
Interest  of a Limited  Partner or Special  Limited  Partner  otherwise  than in
accordance  with  Section  12.1 or Section 12.6 shall be of no effect as between
the  Partnership  and the  purported  assignee and shall be  disregarded  by the
General Partner in making allocations and Distributions hereunder.

         Section 12.4  Assignee's  Rights to Allocations and  Distributions.  An
Assignee shall be entitled to receive  allocations  and  Distributions  from the
Partnership  attributable  to the Interest  acquired by reason of any  permitted
assignment  from and after the first day of the  calendar  month  following  the
month which ends with the  effective  date of the  transfer of such  Interest as
provided in Section  12.2.  The  Partnership  and the General  Partner  shall be
entitled to treat the  assignor  of such  Partnership  Interest as the  absolute

         Section 12.5 Substitution of Assignee as Limited Partner or Special 
Limited Partner.

         (a) An Assignee shall not have the right to become a Substitute Limited
Partner or substitute  Special  Limited  Partner in place of his assignor unless
the written consent of the General Partner to such substitution  shall have been
obtained,  which consent, in the General Partner's absolute  discretion,  may be
withheld.

         (b) A nonadmitted transferee of a Limited Partner's Interest or Special
Limited Partner's  Interest in the Partnership shall only be entitled to receive
that share of allocations,  Distributions and the return of Capital Contribution
to which its transferor  would  otherwise have been entitled with respect to the
Interest  transferred,  and shall  have no right to obtain  any  information  on
account of the Partnership's  transactions,  to inspect the Partnership's  books
and records or have any other of the rights and privileges of a Limited  Partner
or Special Limited Partner, provided,  however, that the Partnership shall, if a
transferee  and transferor  jointly  advise the General  Partner in writing of a
transfer  of an  Interest  in  the  Partnership,  furnish  the  transferee  with
pertinent tax information at the end of each fiscal year of the Partnership.

         (c)  The  General  Partner  may  elect  to  treat  a  transferee  of  a
Partnership  Interest  who  has not  become  a  Substitute  Limited  Partner  or
substitute Special Limited Partner as a Substitute Limited Partner or substitute
Special  Limited  Partner,  as the case may be, in the  place of its  transferor
should the  General  Partner  determine  in its  absolute  discretion  that such
treatment is in the best interest of the Partnership.

         Section  12.6  Death,  Bankruptcy,  Incompetency,  etc.  of  a  Limited
Partner.   Upon  the  death,   dissolution,   adjudication  of  bankruptcy,   or
adjudication of incompetency or insanity of a Limited Partner or Special Limited
Partner, such Partner's executors, administrators or legal representatives shall
have all the rights of a Limited Partner or Special Limited Partner, as the case
may be, for the purpose of settling or managing such Partner's estate, including
such power as such Partner  possessed to  constitute a successor as a transferee
of its Interest in the  Partnership  and to join with such  transferee in making
the  application  to  substitute  such  transferee as a Partner.  However,  such
executors,  administrators or legal  representatives  will not have the right to
become Substitute Limited Partners or substitute Special Limited Partners in the
place of their  respective  predecessors-in-interest  unless the General Partner
shall so consent.

         Section 13.1      Withdrawal of General Partner.

Special  Limited  Partner,  and,  to the extent  required,  of South  Trust Bank
National  Association  and the  State Tax  Credit  Agency.  Withdrawal  shall be
conditioned  upon the agreement of the Special Limited Partner to be admitted as
a successor  General  Partner,  or if the Special Limited Partner declines to be
admitted as a successor  General  Partner  then on the  agreement of one or more
Persons who satisfy the  requirements  of Section  13.5 of this  Agreement to be
admitted as successor General Partner(s).

         (b)  Each  General  Partner  shall  indemnify  and  hold  harmless  the

         Section 13.2      Removal of General Partner.

         (a) The  Special  Limited  Partner or the Limited  Partner,  or both of
them, may remove the General Partner for cause if such General Partner has:

                  (1)  been subject to Bankruptcy in accordance with this

acceleration notice to the Partnership or General Partner and such violation has
not been cured within 30 days of such letter or notice;

                  (6) failed to provide any loan, advance,  Capital Contribution
or any other payment to the Partnership required under this Agreement;

                                       47
<PAGE>

                  (7)  failed to  obtain  the  Consent  of the  Special  Limited
Partner prior to any decision,  act or omission under  circumstances  where this
Agreement requires that such consent be obtained;

                  (8)  breached  any   representation,   warranty  or  covenant
contained in this Agreement,  or failed to perform any other action which may be
required by this Agreement  after having been provided  notice and a thirty (30)
day opportunity to cure such breach or failure;

                  (9) caused the  Projected  Tax Credits to be  allocated to the
Partners for a term longer than the Tax Credit Period  unless the  provisions of
Section 7.4(e) of this Agreement apply;

                  (10) violated any federal or state tax law which causes a 
recapture of LIHTC; or

                  (11) failed during any six-month  period during the Compliance
Period to cause at least  85% of the total  apartment  units in the  Project  to
qualify for LIHTC,  unless such failure is the result of Force Majeure or unless
such failure is cured within 120 days after the end of the six-month period.

         (b) Written  notice of the  removal  for cause of the  General  Partner
shall be served by the Special Limited Partner or the Limited  Partner,  or both
of them,  upon the General  Partner  either by certified or by registered  mail,
return receipt  requested,  or by personal service.  Such notice shall set forth
the reasons for the  removal,  if any, and the date upon which the removal is to
become effective.

         (c) Upon  receipt of such  notice of removal  for  cause,  the  General
Partner shall cause an accounting to be prepared  covering the  transactions  of
the  Partnership  from the end of the  previous  fiscal year through the date of
receipt  of such  notice,  and  thereafter  it  shall  not  sell or  dispose  of
Partnership assets under any circumstances. The accounting shall be completed by
the  effective  date  of the  removal  and  shall  be in  sufficient  detail  to
accurately  and fully  reflect  the  earnings  or losses  for the period and the
financial  condition of the  Partnership.  If the General Partner fails to cause
the accounting to be prepared within 30 days of receipt of the notice of removal
for cause then the Limited Partner may cause the accounting to be prepared.  The
expenses of the accounting shall be borne by the General Partner.

         Section 13.3 Effects of a  Withdrawal.  In the event of a Withdrawal or
Removal,   the  entire  Interest  of  the  Withdrawing   General  Partner  shall
immediately and automatically terminate on the effective date of such Withdrawal
or Removal,  and such General  Partner shall  immediately  cease to be a General
Partner,  shall  have no  further  right to  participate  in the  management  or
operation of the  Partnership  or the Project or to receive any  allocations  or
Distributions  from  the  Partnership  or  any  other  funds  or  assets  of the
Partnership,  except  as  specifically  set  forth  below.  In  the  event  of a


                                       48
<PAGE>

Withdrawal or Removal, any or all executory contracts, including but not limited
to the Management Agreement, between the Partnership and the Withdrawing General
Partner or its Affiliates may be terminated by the Partnership, with the Consent
of the Special Limited Partner, upon written notice to the party so terminated.

         Furthermore,   notwithstanding   such   Withdrawal   or  Removal,   the
Withdrawing  General  Partner  shall be and  shall  remain,  liable as a General
Partner for all liabilities  and  obligations  incurred by the Partnership or by
the General Partner prior to the effective date of the Withdrawal or Removal, or
which may arise upon such  Withdrawal or Removal.  Any  remaining  Partner shall
have all other rights and remedies  against the  Withdrawing  General Partner as
provided by law or under this Agreement.

         The  General  Partner  agrees  that in the event of its  Withdrawal  or
Removal it will indemnify and hold the Limited  Partner and the Special  Limited
Partner  harmless  from and against all losses,  costs and expenses  incurred in
connection with the Withdrawal or Removal,  including,  without limitation,  all
legal fees and other  expenses  of the Limited  Partner and the Special  Limited
Partner in connection with the transaction.

         The  following  additional  provisions  shall  apply in the  event of a
Withdrawal.

         (a) In the event of a Withdrawal, the Withdrawing General Partner shall
have no further right to receive any future  allocations or  Distributions  from
the Partnership which accrue after the effective date of withdrawal or any other
funds or assets of the Partnership, nor shall it be entitled to receive or to be
paid by the Partnership any further  payments of fees (including fees which have
been  earned but are unpaid) or to be repaid any  outstanding  advances or loans
made by it to the Partnership or to be paid any amount for its former  Interest.
From and after the effective date of such  Withdrawal,  the former rights of the
Withdrawing  General  Partner  to  receive  or  to  be  paid  such  allocations,
Distributions,  funds, assets, fees or repayments shall be assigned to the other
General  Partner or General  Partners  (which may include  the  Special  Limited
Partner),  or if there is no other general  partner of the  Partnership  at that
time, to the Special Limited Partner.

         (b) In the event of a Removal,  the  Withdrawing  General Partner shall
have no further right to receive any future  allocations or  Distributions  from
the Partnership or any other funds or assets of the  Partnership,  provided that
accrued  and  payable  fees  (i.e.,  fees  earned  but  unpaid as of the date of
Withdrawal) owed to the Withdrawing  General Partner,  and any outstanding loans
of the  Withdrawing  General  Partner to the  Partnership,  shall be paid to the
Withdrawing  General  Partner in the manner and at the times such fees and loans
would have been paid had the  Withdrawing  General  Partner not  Withdrawn.  The


                                       49
<PAGE>

Interest  of  the  General  Partner  shall  be  purchased  as  follows.  If  the
Involuntary  Withdrawal  arises  from  removal for cause as set forth in Section
13.2(a)  hereof,  the Withdrawn  General Partner shall be entitled to receive as
its sole compensation for its Interest in the Partnership an amount equal to its
positive  Capital  Account  balance  determined as of the effective  date of the
removal, if any, payable upon the dissolution and termination of the Partnership
after all of the Partners have been  distributed the positive  balances in their
Capital Accounts.

         (c) In the event of an Involuntary Withdrawal, the Partnership is to be
continued  with one or more  remaining  General  Partners,  or if  there  are no
remaining General Partner(s) then the Involuntary  Withdrawing General Partner's
interest shall be transferred to their heirs or successors; provided the Special
Limited Partner  approves the  heirs/successors  as the new General  Partner(s),
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The approved  heir/successor
General  Partner(s)  of the  Partnership  shall  retain the  Option to  Purchase
pursuant to Section  9.12. In the event the  heirs/successors  are not approved,
the  heirs/successors  shall  retain the Option to Purchase  pursuant to Section
9.12  and the  Involuntary  withdrawing  General  Partner's  Interest  shall  be
purchased by the  Partnership.  The purchase price of the such Interest shall be
the Fair Market Value as determined by agreement between the Withdrawing General
Partner  and  the  Special  Limited  partner,  or,  if  they  cannot  agree,  by
arbitration  in  accordance   with  the  then  current  rules  of  the  American
Arbitration Association.  The cost of such arbitration shall be borne equally by
the Withdrawing General Partner and the Partnership. The purchase price shall be
paid by the Partnership by delivering to the General or its  representative  the
Partnership's non-interest bearing unsecured promissory note payable, if at all,
upon liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with Section 11.2(b). The note
shall also  provide  that the  Partnership  may  prepay all or any part  thereof
without penalty.

         Section 13.4 Successor General Partner. Upon the occurrence of an event
giving  rise to a  Withdrawal  or Removal of a General  Partner,  any  remaining
General Partner,  or, if there be no remaining General Partner,  the Withdrawing
General Partner or its legal  representative,  shall promptly notify the Special
Limited Partner of such Withdrawal (the "Withdrawal Notice"). Whether or not the
Withdrawal  Notice shall have been sent as provided herein,  the Special Limited
Partner  shall  have the right to become a  successor  General  Partner  (and to
become the successor managing General Partner if the Withdrawing General Partner
was  previously  the  managing  General  Partner).  In order to  effectuate  the
provisions  of this Section 13.4 and the  continuance  of the  Partnership,  the
Withdrawal of a General  Partner shall not be effective  until the expiration of
120  days  from  the  date  on  which  occurred  the  event  giving  rise to the
Withdrawal,  unless the Special  Limited  Partner shall have elected to become a
successor General Partner as provided herein prior to expiration of such 120-day


                                       50
<PAGE>

period,  whereupon  the  Withdrawal  of the  General  Partner  shall  be  deemed
effective upon the notification of all the other Partners by the Special Limited
Partner of such election.

         Section 13.5 Admission of Additional or Successor  General Partner.  No
Person shall be admitted as an additional or successor  General  Partner  unless
(a) such  Person  shall  have  agreed to become a General  Partner  by a written
instrument  which shall include the acceptance  and adoption of this  Agreement;
(b) the Consent of the Special  Limited  Partner to the admission of such Person
as a substitute General Partner, which consent may be withheld in the discretion
of the Special Limited Partner, shall have been given; and (c) such Person shall
have executed and acknowledged any other  instruments  which the Special Limited
Partner shall  reasonably  deem necessary or appropriate to affect the admission
of such Person as a substitute General Partner. If the foregoing  conditions are
satisfied,  this Agreement shall be amended in accordance with the provisions of
the Act,  and all other steps shall be taken which are  reasonably  necessary to
effect the Withdrawal of the Withdrawing General Partner and the substitution of
the successor General Partner. Nothing contained herein shall reduce the Limited
Partner's Interest or the Special Limited Partner's Interest in the Partnership.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  and anything  contained  in this Article  XIII,
either or both  General  Partners  may,  with the prior  written  consent of the
Special limited Partner,  which may not be unreasonably  withheld or delayed and
SouthTrust Bank National Association, transfer their interest in the Partnership
to an entity  formed for estate  planning  purposes and  controlled by either or
both of them.

         Section 13.6 Transfer of Interest. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the General  Partner may not Withdraw  from the  Partnership,  or enter into any
agreement  as the  result of which any Person  shall  become  interested  in the
Partnership, without the Consent of the Special Limited Partner.

         Section 13.7 No Goodwill Value.  At no time during  continuation of the
Partnership shall any value ever be placed on the Partnership name, or the right
to its use, or to the goodwill  appertaining to the Partnership or its business,
either as among the Partners or for the purpose of determining  the value of any
Interest,  nor shall the legal  representatives of any Partner have any right to
claim any such  value.  In the event of a  termination  and  dissolution  of the
Partnership as provided in this Agreement, neither the Partnership name, nor the
right to its use, nor the same goodwill, if any, shall be considered as an asset
of the  Partnership,  and no  valuation  shall be put thereon for the purpose of
liquidation or distribution, or for any other purpose whatsoever.

                      DISSOLUTION, WINDING UP, TERMINATION
                       AND LIQUIDATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     Section 15.1 Dissolution of Partnership. The Partnership shall be dissolved
upon  the  expiration  of its  term  or  the  earlier  occurrence  of any of the
following events.

         (a) The  effective  date of the  Withdrawal  or removal of the  General
Partner,  unless  (1) at the time  there is at least one other  General  Partner
(which may be the  Special  Limited  Partner if it elects to serve as  successor
General Partner under Section 13.4 hereof) who will continue as General Partner,
or (2)  within  120 days  after the  occurrence  of any such  event the  Limited
Partner elects to continue the business of the Partnership.

         (b) The sale of the  Project and the receipt in cash of the full amount
of the proceeds of such sale.

                                       56
<PAGE>

         Notwithstanding   the  foregoing,   however,  in  no  event  shall  the
Partnership  terminate  prior to the expiration of its term if such  termination
would result in a violation of the Mortgage or any other  agreement with or rule
or regulation of South Trust Bank National  Association to which the Partnership
is subject.

         Section 15.2 Partner's Rights upon  Dissolution.  No Partner shall have
any right to demand  property other than money upon  dissolution and termination
of the  Partnership,  and the Partnership is prohibited from such a distribution
of property absent the Consent of the Special Limited Partner.

         Section  15.3  Distributions  of  Assets.  Upon  a  dissolution  of the
Partnership,  the  General  Partner  (or,  if there is no General  Partner  then
remaining,  such other Person(s) designated as the liquidator of the Partnership
by the Special Limited Partner or by the court in a judicial  dissolution) shall
take full account of the Partnership  assets and liabilities and shall liquidate
the assets as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof.

         (a) Upon  dissolution  and  termination,  after payment of, or adequate
provision for, the debts and obligations of the Partnership  pursuant to Section
11.2(a) through and including  11.2(c),  the remaining assets of the Partnership
shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section  11.2(d),  after
taking into account all allocations under Article X hereof.

         (b) In the event that a General  Partner  has a deficit  balance in its
Capital Account following the liquidation of the Partnership or its Interest, as
determined  after taking into account all Capital  Account  adjustments  for the
Partnership's  taxable  year in which  such  liquidation  occurs,  such  General
Partner  shall pay to the  Partnership  the amount  necessary  to  restore  such
deficit  balance  to  zero  in  compliance  with  Treasury   Regulation  Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3).

         The deficit  make-up shall be paid by the General Partner by the end of
such taxable year and shall,  upon  liquidation of the  Partnership,  be paid to
creditors of the Partnership or distributed to other Partners in accordance with
their positive Capital Account balances. Notwithstanding, if the Special Limited
Partner has become successor  General  Partner,  it shall not be responsible for
any deficit  balance in its  Capital  Account  which  arose  during the time the
former General Partner served as General Partner.

         (c) With  respect  to assets  distributed  in kind to the  Partners  in
liquidation or otherwise:

                  (1) unrealized  appreciation or unrealized depreciation in the
values of such  assets  shall be deemed to be Income and Losses  realized by the
Partnership  immediately prior to the liquidation or other  Distribution  event;
and

                                       57
<PAGE>

                  (2) such Income and Losses  shall be allocated to the Partners
in accordance with Section 10.2 hereof, and any property so distributed shall be
treated as a Distribution  of an amount in cash equal to the excess of such Fair
Market Value over the outstanding  principal  balance of and accrued interest on
any debt by which the property is encumbered.

         (d) For the purposes of Section 15.3(c),  "unrealized  appreciation" or
"unrealized  depreciation"  shall mean the  difference  between  the Fair Market
Value  of such  assets,  taking  into  account  the  Fair  Market  Value  of the
associated  financing  but  subject  to  Section  7701(g)  of the Code,  and the
Partnership's  adjusted basis in such assets for book purposes.  Section 15.3(c)
is merely intended to provide a rule for allocating unrealized Income and Losses
upon liquidation or other  Distribution  event, and nothing contained in Section
15.3(c)  or  elsewhere  in this  Agreement  is  intended  to treat or cause such
Distributions  to be treated as sales for value.  The Fair Market  Value of such
assets shall be  determined  by an  independent  appraiser to be selected by the
General Partner with the Consent of the Special Limited Partner.

         Section 15.4 Deferral of Liquidation. If at the time of liquidation the
General  Partner or other  liquidator  shall determine that an immediate sale of
part or all of the  Partnership  assets could cause undue loss to the  Partners,
the  liquidator  may, in order to avoid  loss,  but only with the Consent of the
Special Limited Partner, either defer liquidation and retain all or a portion of
the assets or distribute all or a portion of the assets to the Partners in kind.
In the event that the liquidator  elects to distribute  such assets in kind, the
assets  shall  first  be  assigned  a  value  (by  appraisal  by an  independent
appraiser)  and the  unrealized  appreciation  or  depreciation  in value of the
assets shall be allocated to the Partners' Capital  Accounts,  as if such assets
had been sold, in the manner  described in Section  10.2,  and such assets shall
then be  distributed  to the  Partners  as  provided  herein.  In  applying  the
preceding  sentence,  the  Project  shall not be  assigned a value less than the
unamortized principal balance of any loan secured thereby.

         Section  15.5  Liquidation  Statement.  Each of the  Partners  shall be
furnished  with a  statement  prepared  or caused to be  prepared by the General
Partner or other liquidator, which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of
the Partnership as of the date of complete liquidation. Upon compliance with the
distribution plan as outlined in Sections 15.3 and 15.4, the Limited Partner and
Special  Limited  Partner  shall cease to be such and the General  Partner shall
execute,  acknowledge  and cause to be filed those  certificates  referenced  in
Section 15.6.

         Section 15.6  Certificates of Dissolution; Certificate of Cancellation
of Certificate of Limited Partnership.

         (a) Upon the dissolution of the Partnership,  the General Partner shall
cause to be filed in the office of, and on a form prescribed by the Secretary of


                                       58

shall set forth the Partnership's name, the Secretary of State's file number for
the Partnership, the event causing the Partnership's dissolution and the date of
the dissolution.

         (b) Upon the completion of the winding up of the Partnership's affairs,
the  General  Partner  shall  cause to be filed in the  office of, and on a form
prescribed   by,  the  Secretary  of  State  of  the  State,  a  certificate  of
cancellation  of the  Certificate  of Limited  Partnership.  The  certificate of
cancellation  of the  Certificate  of  Limited  Partnership  shall set forth the
Partnership's  name,  the Secretary of State's file number for the  Partnership,
and any other  information  which the  General  Partner  determines  to  include
therein.

                                   ARTICLE XVI

the Special  Limited  Partner;  allow the Limited Partner to take control of the
Partnership's  business  within  the  meaning  of the Act;  reduce  or defer the

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, Series 5
c/o WNC & Associates, Inc.
3158 Redhill Avenue, Suite 120
Costa Mesa, California  92626

RE:      United Development Co., L.P. - 97.1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         You have  requested  our  opinion  with  respect to certain  matters in
connection  with the  investment  by WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, Series 5, a
California  limited  partnership (the "Limited  Partner") in United  Development
Co., L.P. - 97.1 (the "Partnership"),  a Tennessee limited partnership formed to
own, develop, (construct/-rehabilitate) finance and operate an apartment complex
for low-income persons (the "Apartment Complex") in Memphis, Shelby,  Tennessee.
The general partner(s) of the Partnership (is/are) Harold E. Buehler, Sr. And Jo
Ellen Buehler as (the "General Partner(s)").

         In rendering  the opinions  stated  below,  we have examined and relied
upon the following:

         (i)               [Certificate of Limited Partnership];

         (ii)              [Agreement of Limited Partnership] (the "Partnership
                           Agreement");

         (iii)             A   preliminary   reservation   letter   from  [State
                           Allocating   Agency]  (the  "State   Agency")   dated
                           _________,      199___     conditionally     awarding
                           $_______________  in Federal tax credits annually for
                           each of ten years and  $_______________ in California
                           tax credits  annually  for each of four years for the
                           Apartment Complex; and

         (iv)              Such other  documents,  records and instruments as we
                           have deemed necessary in order to enable us to render
                           the opinions referred to in this letter.

         For  purposes of rendering  the  opinions  stated below we have assumed
that,  in  those  cases in which  we have  not  been  involved  directly  in the
preparation,  execution  or the  filing  of a  document,  that (a) the  document
reviewed  by us is an  original  document,  or a true and  accurate  copy of the
original document,  and has not been subsequently amended, (b) the signatures on
each original document are genuine, and (c) each party who executed the document
had proper authority and capacity.

Based on the foregoing we are of the opinion that:


         (a) The  Partnership is a limited  partnership  duly formed and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Tennessee.

         (b) The  Partnership is validly  existing under and subject to the laws
of   Tennessee    with   full   power   and    authority   to   own,    develop,
[construct/rehabilitate],  finance  and  operate  the  Apartment  Complex and to
otherwise conduct business under the Partnership Agreement.

         (c) Execution of the  Partnership  Agreement by the General  Partner(s)
has been duly and validly  authorized by or on behalf of the General  Partner(s)
and,  having been  executed and  delivered  in  accordance  with its terms,  the
Partnership Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the General
Partner(s), enforceable in accordance with its terms.

         (d) The  execution  and  delivery of the  Partnership  Agreement by the
General Partner(s) does not conflict with and will not result in a breach of any
of the terms,  provisions or conditions of any agreement or instrument  known to
counsel to which any of the General  Partner(s) or the Partnership is a party or
by which any of them may be bound,  or any  order,  rule,  or  regulation  to be
applicable  to any of  such  parties  of  any  court  or  governmental  body  or
administrative  agency having  jurisdiction over any of such parties or over the
property.

         (e) To the best of counsel's knowledge,  after due inquiry, there is no
litigation  or  governmental   proceeding  pending  or  threatened  against,  or
involving the Apartment  Complex,  the  Partnership or any General Partner which
would  materially  adversely  affect the  condition  (financial or otherwise) or
business of the Apartment Complex, the Partnership or any of the Partners of the
Partnership.

         (f) The  Limited  Partner  and the Special  Limited  Partner  have been
admitted  to the  Partnership  as  limited  partners  of the  Partnership  under
__________  law and are entitled to all of the rights of limited  partners under
the Partnership Agreement.  Except as described in the Partnership Agreement, no
person  is a  partner  of  or  has  any  legal  or  equitable  interest  in  the
Partnership,  and all former partners of record or known to counsel have validly
withdrawn  from the  Partnership  and  have  released  any  claims  against  the
Partnership arising out of their participation as partners therein.

         (g) Liability of the Limited Partner for obligations of the Partnership
is limited to the amount of the Limited Partner's capital contributions required
by the Partnership Agreement.

         (h) Neither the General  Partner(s) of the  Partnership nor the Limited
Partner nor the Special Limited Partner will have any liability for the Mortgage
represented  thereby (as those terms are defined in the  Partnership  Agreement,
and the  lender of the  Mortgage  Loan will  look  only to its  security  in the
Apartment Complex for repayment of the Mortgage Loan.

         (i)  The  Partnership  owns a fee  simple  interest  in  the  Apartment
Complex.

         (j) To the best of our actual knowledge and belief,  after due inquiry,
the Partnership has obtained all consents, permissions,  licenses, approvals, or
orders required by all applicable  governmental  or regulatory  agencies for the
development,   [construction/rehabilitation]  and  operation  of  the  Apartment
Complex, and the Apartment Complex conforms to all applicable Federal, state and
local land use, zoning, health, building and safety laws, ordinances,  rules and
regulations.

         (k) The Apartment Complex has obtained a preliminary reservation of low
income housing tax credits ("LIHTC") from the State Agency. The final allocation
of the LIHTC and ultimately  eligibility of the Apartment Complex for such final
allocation are subject to a series of requirements  which must be met, performed
or achieved at various times prior to and after such final allocation.  Assuming
all  such  requirements  are met,  performed  or  achieved  at the time or times
provided by applicable laws and regulations,  the Apartment Complex will qualify
for LIHTC.

         All of the  opinions  set forth above are  qualified to the extent that
the validity of any  provision of any agreement may be subject to or affected by
applicable bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization,  moratorium or similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally. We do not express any opinion as to
the  availability  of any equitable or specific remedy upon any breach of any of
the covenants,  warranties or other  provisions  contained in any agreement.  We
have not examined,  and we express no opinion with respect to, the applicability
of, or liability under, any Federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation
governing or  pertaining  to  environmental  matters,  hazardous  wastes,  toxic
substances or the like.

<PAGE>

         (t) No event has occurred which has caused, and the General Partner has
not acted in any manner which will cause (1) the  Partnership  to be treated for

Partnership  to fail to qualify as a limited  partnership  under the Act, or (3)
the Limited Partner to be liable for Partnership obligations;  provided however,
the General  Partner shall not be in breach of this  representation  if all or a

satisfy the  Partnership's  obligations to creditors of the Partnership and such
action by the General Partner is otherwise  authorized under this Agreement and;
provided  further,  however,  the General Partner shall not be in breach of this

Partnership obligations is undertaken by the Limited Partner.

         (u) No event or  proceeding,  including,  but not limited to, any legal
actions or  proceedings  before any court,  commission,  administrative  body or

occurred  the  continuing  effect of which  has:  (1)  materially  or  adversely
affected the operation of the  Partnership or the Project;  or (2) materially or
adversely affected the ability of the General Partner to perform its obligations

the general public.

         (v)  Neither  the   Partnership   nor  the  General   Partner  has  any
liabilities,  contingent or otherwise,  which have not been disclosed in writing
to the  Limited  Partner  and the  Special  Limited  Partner  and  which  in the
aggregate  affect the ability of the Limited  Partner to obtain the  anticipated
benefits of its investment in the Partnership.

         (w) The General  Partner  and/or an acceptable  guarantor has and shall
maintain a net worth equal to at least  $1,000,000,  of which  $100,000 shall be
maintained  as liquid  assets  computed in accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

                        TAX CREDIT COMPLIANCE MONITORING:
                              ANNUAL CERTIFICATION
         As General Partner of United Development Co., L.P. - 97.1, I hereby 
certify as to the following:

         1. United Development Co., L.P. - 97.1  owns a 20 unit project 
("Project") in Memphis, Shelby, Tennessee.

         2. An annual income certification (including supporting  documentation)
has been received from each tenant. The income  certification  reflects that the
tenant's income meets the income  limitation  applicable to the Project pursuant
to Section 42(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code").

         3. The Project satisfies the requirements of the applicable minimum 
set aside test as defined in Section 42(g)(1) of the Code.

         4. Each unit  within  the  Project  is rent  restricted  as  defined in
Section 42(g)(2)of the Code.

         5. Each unit in the Project is available for use by the general  public
and not for use on a transient basis.

         6. Each building in the Project is suitable for occupancy in accordance
with local health, safety, and building codes.

         7. During the preceding calendar year, there had been no change in the
eligible basis, as defined in Section 42(d)of the Code, of any building  within
the Project.

         8. All common area facilities included in the eligible basis of the 
Apartment  Complex are provided to the tenants on a comparable  basis without a
separate fee to any tenant in the Project.

         9. During the preceding calendar year when a unit in the Project became
vacant reasonable  attempts were made to rent that unit to tenants whose incomes
met the income limitation applicable to the Project pursuant to Section 42(g)(1)
of the Code and while  that unit was  vacant no units of  comparable  or smaller
size were  rented to tenants  whose  income  did not meet the income  limitation
applicable to the Project pursuant to Section 42(g)(1) of the Code.

         10.  If the  income  of a tenant  in a unit  increased  above the limit
allowed in Section 42 (g)(2)(D)(ii),  then the next available unit of comparable
or smaller size was rented to tenants  whose  incomes met the income  limitation
applicable to the Project pursuant to Section 42(g)(1) of the Code.

IN  VERIFICATION  OF THE  FOREGOING  ENCLOSED  HEREWITH  IS A COPY OF THE ANNUAL
INCOME  CERTIFICATION  RECEIVED FROM EACH TENANT IN THE PROJECT.  UPON REQUEST I
WILL PROVIDE  COPIES OF ALL  DOCUMENTATION  RECEIVED  FROM THE TENANT TO SUPPORT
THAT CERTIFICATION.

         I  declare  under  penalty  of  perjury  under  the law of the State of
Tennessee that the foregoing is true and correct.

                               GUARANTY AGREEMENT


         FOR VALUE  RECEIVED,  the  receipt and  sufficiency  of which is hereby
acknowledged,  and in  consideration  of the  agreement  of  United  Development
Corporation  (the  "Developer") to permit deferral of the Developer Fee pursuant
to the Development Fee Agreement due from United  Development  Co., L.P.- 97.1 a
Tennessee  limited  partnership  ("Debtor") to the  Developer,  the  undersigned
Guarantor(s),  hereby unconditionally  guaranty the full and prompt payment when
due,  whether by  acceleration  or otherwise of that certain  Developer Fee from
Debtor to the Developer,  evidenced by the  Development  Fee Agreement dated the
even date herewith,  and  incorporated  herein by this reference.  The foregoing
described debt is referred to hereinafter as the "Liabilities" or "Liability."

         The  undersigned  further agree to pay all expenses paid or incurred by
the Developer in  endeavoring to collect the  Liabilities,  or any part thereof,
and  in  enforcing  the  Liabilities  or  this  Guaranty  Agreement   (including
reasonable  attorneys'  fees if  collected  or  enforced  by law or  through  an
attorney-at-law).   The  undersigned  hereby  represent  and  warrant  that  the
extension of credit or other financial accommodations by the Developer to Debtor
will be to the interest and advantage of the  undersigned,  and acknowledge that
this Guaranty  Agreement is a substantial  inducement to the Developer to extend
credit to Debtor and that the  Developer  would not  otherwise  extend credit to
Debtor.

         The Developer  may, from time to time,  without notice to or consent of
the  undersigned,  (a) retain or obtain a security  interest in any  property to
secure any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder,  (b) retain or obtain
the primary or secondary  liability of any party or parties,  in addition to the
undersigned, with respect to any of the Liabilities, (c) extend or renew for any
period  (whether  or not longer  than the  original  period) or alter any of the
Liabilities,  (d)  release  or  compromise  any  Liability  of  the  undersigned
hereunder  or  any  Liability  of  any  other  party  or  parties  primarily  or
secondarily  liable  on any of  the  Liabilities,  (e)  release,  compromise  or
subordinate its title or security interest,  or any part thereof, if any, in all
or any  property  now or  hereafter  securing  any  of  the  Liabilities  or any
obligation  hereunder,  and permit any  substitution  or  exchange  for any such
property,  and  (f)  resort  to  the  undersigned  for  payment  of  any  of the
Liabilities,  whether or not the  Developer  shall have resorted to any property
securing  any of the  Liabilities  or any  obligation  hereunder  or shall  have
preceded  against any other party primarily or secondarily  liable on any of the
Liabilities.

         The undersigned  hereby expressly waive: (a) notice of the existence or
creation  of all or any of the  Liabilities,  (b)  notice  of any  amendment  or
modification of any of the  instruments or documents  evidencing or securing the
Liabilities,  (c) presentment,  demand,  notice of dishonor and protest, (d) all
diligence in collection or protection of or realization  upon the Liabilities or
any thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for any of the foregoing,
and (e) the right to require the Developer to proceed  against  Debtor on any of
the Liabilities.


                                       1
<PAGE>

         In the  event  any  payment  of  Debtor  to the  Developer  is  held to
constitute a preference  under the  bankruptcy  laws, or if for any other reason
the  Developer is required to refund such  payment or pay the amount  thereof to
any other party,  such payment by Debtor to the Developer shall not constitute a
release of Guarantor from any Liability  hereunder,  but Guarantor agrees to pay
such amount to the Developer  upon demand and this Guaranty shall continue to be
effective or shall be reinstated,  as the case may be, to the extent of any such
payment or payments.

         No delay or failure on the part of the Developer in the exercise of any
right or remedy  shall  operate  as a waiver  thereof,  and no single or partial
exercise by the Developer of any right or remedy shall  preclude other or future
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  No action of the
Developer  permitted  hereunder  shall in any way impair or affect this Guaranty
Agreement. For the purpose of this Guaranty Agreement, the Liabilities of Debtor
to the Developer are guaranteed  notwithstanding any right or power of Debtor or
anyone  else  to  assert  any  claim  or  defense  as  to  the   invalidity   or
unenforceability  of any such  obligation,  and no such claim or  defense  shall
impair or affect the obligations of the undersigned hereunder.

         Payment  by the  Guarantor  under  this  Guaranty  Agreement  shall  be
recorded as a capital  contribution  payment  from the  Guarantor to Debtor and,
subsequently, as a payment of the Development Fee from Debtor to Developer.

         This Guaranty Agreement shall be binding upon the undersigned, and upon
the legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

         This  Guaranty  Agreement  has been made and  delivered in the state of
Tennessee and shall be construed and governed under Tennessee law.

         Whenever  possible,  each provision of the Guaranty  Agreement shall be
interpreted  in such manner as to be effective and valid under  applicable  law,
but if any  provision  of this  Guaranty  Agreement  shall be  prohibited  by or
invalid under such law, such  provision  shall be  ineffective  to the extent of
such  prohibition  of  invalidity,  without  invalidating  the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty Agreement.

         Whenever the singular or plural number, masculine or feminine or neuter
is used herein,  it shall  equally  include the other where  applicable.  In the
event this  Guaranty  Agreement  is  executed by more than one  guarantor,  this
Guaranty  Agreement  and the  obligations  hereunder  are the joint and  several
obligation of the undersigned.

         Guarantor  consents to the  jurisdiction  of the courts in the State of
Tennessee  and/or to the  jurisdiction  and venue of any United States  District
Court in the State of Tennessee having  jurisdiction over any action or judicial
proceeding  brought to enforce,  construe or interpret this Guaranty.  Guarantor
agrees  to  stipulate  in  any  such  proceeding  that  this  Guaranty  is to be
considered  for all  purposes to have been  executed  and  delivered  within the
geographical  boundaries  of the State of  Tennessee,  even if it was,  in fact,
executed and delivered elsewhere.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the undersigned have hereunto caused this Guaranty

                                OPERATING BUDGET
                                    AGREEMENT


         This Operating Budget Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of the
date  written  below by and  between  United  Development  Co.,  L.P. - 97.1,  a
Tennessee limited  Partnership  ("Owner"),  Harold E. Buehler,  Sr. And Jo Ellen
Buehler  (collectively  the"General  Partner"),  WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI,
Series 5, a California limited Partnership  ("Limited Partner") and WNC Housing,
L.P., a California  limited  Partnership  ("Special  Limited  Partner").  Owner,
General Partner, Limited Partner and Special Limited Partner collectively may be
referred to as the "Parties" or individually may be referred to as a "Party".

                                    RECITALS

         A.  Owner  has  acquired  20 lots of land in  Memphis,  Shelby  County,
Tennessee (the "Real Property").

         B.  Owner  intends  to  develop  on the Real  Property  a twenty-  unit
low-income  rental housing complex and other related  improvements  intended for
the  elderly,  which is intended to qualify for federal  low-income  housing tax
credits (the "Project").

         C. On the even date herewith a Second Amended and Restated  Partnership
Agreement for United Development Co., L.P. - 97.1 ("Partnership  Agreement") was
entered into by and between the General Partner, WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI,
Series 5 as the limited  partner and WNC  Housing,  L.P. as the special  limited
partner (the Partnership  Agreement is incorporated  herein by this reference as
if the same were  reproduced  in full and any  capitalized  terms not defined in
this Agreement shall have the meaning as defined in the Partnership Agreement).

         D. In determining  whether to be admitted into United  Development Co.,
L.P. - 97.1 and contribute funds to the development of the Project,  the Limited
Partner and Special Limited Partner  performed a due diligence  review.  Part of
the due diligence review included an analysis of the available  sources of funds
to develop the  Project,  the cost of  construction,  the  anticipated  revenues
associated  with the  rental of the  Project  apartment  units and the  expenses
required to operate the Project.

         E. The Parties  recognize and acknowledge that a final operating budget
involves substantial negotiations with lenders and governmental authorities.

                                       1
<PAGE>

         G. Limited Partner's and Special Limited Partner's  decision to execute
the Partnership  Agreement is based, in part, on their acceptance of the sources
of funds available to develop the Project, and the operating budget necessary to
provide a positive Debt Service Coverage.

         Now  Therefore,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing  recitals and the
mutual  promises  and  undertakings  in this  Agreement,  and for other good and
valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and  sufficiency  of  which  are  hereby
acknowledged, Owner and Developer agree as follows.

         1. Source of Funds.  Attached  hereto as Exhibit  "A" and  incorporated
herein by this  reference  is the Project  Source of Funds.  The Source of Funds
have been specified in the  Partnership  Agreement as the Mortgage,  the Capital
Contribution  of the General  Partner,  the Capital  Contribution of the Limited
Partner and the Capital  Contribution  of the Special  Limited  Partner.  Unless
expressly permitted in the Partnership Agreement, Consent of the Special Limited
Partner is required for any change to the Source of Funds.

         2. Operating Proforma.  Attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated
herein by this reference is the Operating Proforma.  The Limited Partner and the
Special  Limited  Partner  underwrote  the  subject  transaction  at a 1.15 Debt
Service  Coverage.  Notwithstanding,  in the event the Net Operating Income does
not produce a 1.15 Debt Service  Coverage as determined  by the Special  Limited
Partner then at the request of the Special  Limited  Partner the General Partner
shall reduce  and/or  refinance  the  principal of the Mortgage to an amount the
Special  Limited  Partner  determines is adequate to produce a 1.15 Debt Service
Coverage.

         4. Notices.  Any notice given  pursuant to this Agreement may be served
personally  on the Party to be notified,  or may be mailed,  first class postage
prepaid,  to the following address, or to such other address as a party may from
