Partners
Hughes Villa Limited Partnership
Hughes, Arkansas

         We have audited the  accompanying  Statement of Income (Loss) of HUGHES
VILLA LIMITED  PARTNERSHIP  for the year ended December 31, 1997. This financial
statement  is  the   responsibility   of  the  Partnership's   management.   Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our
audit.

         We conducted our audit in accordance with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  about whether the Statement of Income is free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and  disclosures in the Statement of Income.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall  presentation of the Statement of
Income.  We believe that our audit of the Statement of Income (Loss)  provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our  opinion,  the  Statement  of Income  (Loss)  referred  to above
presents  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the results of the  operations of
HUGHES VILLA  LIMITED  PARTNERSHIP  for the year ended  December  31,  1997,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997



(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The Partnership was formed as a limited  partnership  under the laws of
the  State of  Arkansas  for the  purpose  of  acquiring  land  and  developing,
constructing,  owning,  and  operating  a 20-unit  apartment  project in Hughes,
Arkansas. The project will provide housing to tenants under the FmHA Section 515
Program.  Construction  was  completed and rental  operations  begun in October,
1996.

         The  Partnership is engaged in the business of leasing  apartment units
to qualified  individuals.  The Partnership grants credit in the form of rent to
customers,  substantially  all of whom are located  within the Hughes,  Arkansas
area.  Therefore,  the Partnership's  ability to collect rents on a timely basis
depends to some extent on local economic conditions.

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosures  of contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Buildings and sitework are depreciated  over  twenty-seven and one-half
years using the straight-line method. Furnishings and appliances are depreciated
over seven years using the straight-line method.

         The  Partnership  is not  subject  to federal  or state  income  taxes;
however,  it must file  informational  income tax returns and the partners  must
take any income or loss of the Partnership into  consideration when filing their
respective tax returns.

(2)      LONG-TERM DEBT

         The Partnership has a permanent mortgage with the Arkansas  Development
Finance  Authority.  The 6.00%  mortgage is payable in monthly  installments  of
$2,021 over a 50 year period.  This  non-recourse  mortgage is collateralized by
the land and buildings.

         The  Partnership  has a second  permanent  mortgage  with  USDA,  Rural
Development.  The 7.25% mortgage will be payable in monthly installments of $818
over a 50 year period.  The Partnership will receive an interest credit reducing
the effective  interest rate to 1% as long as the Project meets the USDA,  Rural
Development  tenant  eligibility  requirements.  The  non-recourse  mortgage  is
collateralized by the land and buildings.

         Maturities of both loans are as follows:

                  1998                      $        2,206

                                                $  767,575



(3)      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         By  Partnership  agreement,  the  General  Partner  received  a  $1,000
incentive  management fee during 1997. This fee is not a project expenditure and
is payable from the annual return to owner  distribution  allowed by USDA, Rural
Development.

                       (A California Limited Partnership)

                           NOTES TO HISTORICAL SUMMARY




NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A  summary   of  the   Partnership's   significant   accounting   policies
      consistently  applied in the  preparation of the  accompanying  Historical
      Summary follows.

      PRINCIPLES OF REPORTING

      In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, Rule
      3-14,  the  Historical  Summary  of Gross  Income and  Operating  Expenses
      excludes  items not  comparable to the proposed  future  operations of the
      property.

      The Historical  Summary is not intended to be a complete  presentation  of
      the  Partnership's  revenues and expenses  and  accordingly,  depreciation
      expense has been excluded from the Historical  Summary of Gross Income and
      Operating Expenses.

      METHOD OF ACCOUNTING

      The  Partnership  uses the accrual  method of  accounting,  which reflects
      revenue  when  earned,  which may be prior to  receipt,  and  expenses  as
      incurred,  which may be prior to payment. Rental income reflects the gross
      potential rent that may be earned less vacancies.

      INCOME TAXES

      No  provision  or  benefit  for  income  taxes has been  included  in this
      Historical  Summary since taxable income or loss passes through to, and is
      reportable by, the partners individually.

      ESTIMATES

      The  preparation  of  Historical  Summary  in  conformity  with  generally
      accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.

      AMORTIZATION

      Deferred  charges are amortized over the following  estimated useful lives
      using the straight-line method:


                                                           Years

              Deferred debt expense                        15
              Tax credit-monitoring fee                    15

subscriptions  receivable  from the  above  subscriptions.  The  adjustments  to
investment in limited  partnerships and notes payable to limited partnerships of
$8,132,049   reflect  the   Partnership's   acquisition  of  the  eight  limited
partnership  interests as if the Partnership's date of acquisition was September
30, 1997. The second  adjustment to investment in limited  partnerships  and the
second  adjustment  to cash of  $774,620  reflect  the  acquisition  fee for the

during the period  presented  and had no  operations  which  should be reported.
Hughes Villa and Mark Twain had operations during the period presented (July 15,
1996 to September 30, 1996), and a proforma loss of $18,000 has been recorded in
the Proforma Statement of Operations.  The Partnership uses the equity method of
accounting to account for its investments in these local limited partnerships.

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  7.3(a) is
greater  than  the  remaining  Capital  Contribution  to be paid by the  Limited

previously been addressed under Section  7.3(a),  the next Capital  Contribution
owed by the Limited  Partner or the Special  Limited Partner shall be reduced by
the Annual  Credit  Shortfall  amount,  and any  portion of such  Annual  Credit
Shortfall  in excess of such  Capital  Contribution  shall be  applied to reduce
succeeding  Capital  Contributions of the Limited Partner 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

         (c) In the event that, for any reason, at any time after the first five

there is an Annual Credit  Shortfall,  then,  unless the Annual Credit Shortfall
shall have  previously  been addressed  under Section 7.3(a) or Section  7.3(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).

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.

the  Limited  Partner's  Capital  Contribution  payment  referenced  in  Section
7.1(b)(1) upon the same  conditions.  The Special  Limited Partner shall be in a

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

Partner,  and actual cost of administrative  services means the pro rata cost of
personnel  (as if such persons were  employees  of the  Partnership)  associated

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

accordance with Article VIII hereof,  are currently  funded to required  levels,
including levels required by any authority.



                                       30

     (p) The General Partner has not lent or otherwise advanced any funds to the
Partnership  other than its  Capital  Contribution  and the  Partnership  has no
unsatisfied  obligation to make any payments of any kind to the General  Partner
or any Affiliate thereof.

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

     (r) 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.

     (s) No event or  proceeding,  including,  but not  limited  to,  any  legal
actions or  proceedings  before any court,  commission,  administrative  body or
other  governmental  authority,  and acts of any  governmental  authority having
jurisdiction  over the zoning or land use laws  applicable  to the Project,  has
occurred  the  continuing  effect of which  has:  (1)  materially  or  adversely
affected the  operation of the  Partnership  or the Project;  (2)  materially or
adversely affected the ability of the General Partner to perform its obligations
hereunder  or under any other  agreement  with  respect to the  Project;  or (3)
prevented the  Completion of  Construction  of the  Improvements  in substantial
conformity with the Project  Documents,  other than legal proceedings which have
been bonded against (or as to which other adequate  financial  security has been
issued) in a manner as to indemnify  the  Partnership  against  loss;  provided,
however, the foregoing does not apply to matters of general  applicability which
would adversely affect the Partnership,  the General Partner,  Affiliates of the
General  Partner or the Project  only insofar as they or any of them are part of
the general public.

     (t) 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.

         (u) The General  Partner  and/or an acceptable  guarantor has and shall
maintain a net worth equal to at least  $1,000,000  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.

                                    ARTICLE X

                    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  98.99% to the Limited  Partner,  .01% to the Special Limited Partner,
and 1% 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;

                  (2) second,  an amount of Income  sufficient  to increase  the
Limited Partner's  positive Capital Account balance to its Capital  Contribution
and to increase the Special Limited  Partner's  positive Capital Account balance
to an  amount  equal to its  Capital  Contribution,  shall be  allocated  to the
Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner, respectively;

                  (3) third,  an amount of Income  sufficient  to  increase the
General  Partner's  positive Capital Account balance to an amount equal to its 
Capital Contribution; and

                  (4) the balance,  if any, of such Income shall be allocated  
50% to the Limited  Partner and 50% to the General Partner.



                                       32
<PAGE>

         (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  98.99%
to the Limited  Partner,  .01% to the Special Limited Partner and 1% 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 98.99% or .01% of each
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  98.99% 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 98.99% and .01%, respectively, of the items of
Income not arising from a Sale or Refinancing and 98.99% 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


                                       33
<PAGE>

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
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


                                       34
<PAGE>

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 98.99% to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Special Limited Partner and
1% 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
Section 1.704-1(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
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


                                       35
<PAGE>

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 1% of each
such item at all times during the existence of the Partnership.

     (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 98.99% to the Limited Partner, .01% to the Special Limited Partner and
1% 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,
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:  98.99%;  Special Limited
Partner: .01%; General Partner: 1%.

     (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,


                                       37
<PAGE>

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 1.26(a) hereof).

         In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted
pursuant to Section  1.26(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
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


                                       38
<PAGE>

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.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                      PARTNER'S INTEREST IN THE PARTNERSHIP

         Section  12.1  Assignment  of  Limited   Partner's   Interest.   Except
assignments  to the  National  Bank of  Southern  California  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
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


                                       40
<PAGE>

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
owner thereof in all respects,  and shall incur no liability for allocations and
Distributions  made in good  faith  to such  assignor,  until  such  time as the
written instrument of assignment has been received by the Partnership.

         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


                                       41
<PAGE>

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.

                     WITHDRAWAL, REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF
                                 GENERAL PARTNER

         Section 13.1      Withdrawal of General Partner.

         (a) The General  Partner may not Withdraw (other than as a result of an
Involuntary Withdrawal) without the Consent of the Special Limited Partner, and,
to the extent required, of Home Savings of America, FSB 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
Partnership and all Partners from its Withdrawal in violation of Section 13.1(a)
hereof.  Each  General  Partner  shall be liable for damages to the  Partnership
resulting from its Withdrawal in violation of Section 13.1(a).

         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 Agreement;

                                       42
<PAGE>

     (2) committed any fraud,  willful  misconduct,  breach of fiduciary duty or
other negligent conduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement;

     (3) been convicted of, or entered into a plea of guilty to, a felony;

     (4) made personal use of Partnership funds or properties;

     (5)  violated the terms of the  Mortgage  and such  violation  prompts Home
Savings of America,  FSB to issue a default letter or 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;

     (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;

     (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


                                       43
<PAGE>

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, the
entire  Interest  of the  Withdrawing  General  Partner  shall  immediately  and
automatically  terminate  on the  effective  date of such  Withdrawal,  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 Withdrawal, 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,  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 which may arise upon
such Withdrawal.  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 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,  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  which  is  not  an  Involuntary
Withdrawal,  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, 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


                                       44
<PAGE>

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 an  Involuntary  Withdrawal,  except as provided in
Section 13.3(b)(3) below, 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 Interest of the General
Partner shall be purchased as follows.

                  (1) 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.

                  (2) If the Involuntary  Withdrawal does not arise from removal
for  cause  under  Section  13.2(a)  hereof,  and  if the  Partnership  is to be
continued  with one or more  remaining  or  successor  General  Partner(s),  the
Partnership,  with the Consent of the Special Limited  Partner,  may, but is not
obligated  to,  purchase  the  Interest of the  Withdrawing  General  Partner in
Partnership  allocations,  Distributions and capital. The purchase price of such
Interest  shall be its 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   Partner  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.

                  (3) If the Involuntary  Withdrawal does not arise from removal
for  cause  under  Section  13.2(a)  hereof,  and  if the  Partnership  is to be
continued with one or more remaining or successor General Partner(s), and if the
Partnership does not purchase the Interest of the Withdrawing General Partner in
Partnership allocations, Distributions and capital, then the Withdrawing General


                                       45
<PAGE>

Partner shall retain its Interest in such items, but such Interest shall be held
as a special limited partner.

         Section 13.4 Successor General Partner. Upon the occurrence of an event
giving rise to a Withdrawal 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  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.

         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,


                                       46
<PAGE>

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.

                                   ARTICLE XV

                      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.

         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 Home  Savings of  America,  FSB to which the  Partnership  is
subject.

         Section 15.2 Return of Capital Contribution upon Dissolution. Except as
provided  in  Sections  7.3,  and 7.4 of this  Agreement,  which  provide  for a
reduction or refund of the Limited Partner's Capital  Contribution under certain
circumstances,  and which shall represent the personal obligation of the General
Partner,  as well as the obligation of the Partnership,  each Partner shall look


                                       51
<PAGE>

solely to the assets of the  Partnership for all  Distributions  with respect to
the  Partnership  (including the return of its Capital  Contribution)  and shall
have no recourse  therefor (upon  dissolution or otherwise)  against any General
Partner.  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,  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

                  (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.



                                       52
<PAGE>

         (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
State of the State, a certificate of dissolution. The certificate of dissolution
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.



                                       53
<PAGE>

         (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

                                   AMENDMENTS

         This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Limited Partner.  This
Agreement  may not be amended by the General  Partner  absent the Consent of the
Special  Limited  Partner.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  no amendment  shall

Partnership  beyond the date provided for in this Agreement;  modify the limited
liability  of the Limited  Partner and 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  realization  of any  Partner's  interest  in
allocations,  Distributions,  capital or compensation hereunder, or increase any
Partner's obligations hereunder, without the consent of the Partner so affected;
or change the provisions of this Article XVI.

the Special Limited Partner shall be the "Tax Matters  Partner"  pursuant to the
Code and in connection  with any audit of the federal  income tax returns of the

thereafter  be the "Tax  Matters  Partner".  If the Tax  Matters  Partner  shall
determine  to  litigate  any  administrative  determination  relating to federal
income  tax  matters,  it shall  litigate  such  matter in such court as the Tax
Matters Partner shall decide in its sole  discretion.  In discharging its duties
and  responsibilities,  the Tax Matters  Partner shall act as a fiduciary (i) to
the Limited  Partner (to the  exclusion  of the other  Partners)  insofar as tax
matters  related  to the  Tax  Credits  are  concerned,  and  (ii) to all of the
Partners in other  respects.  The Limited Partner will make no claim against the
Partnership  in respect of any action or  omission  by the Tax  Matters  Partner

         Section 17.11     Expiration of Compliance Period.

         (a)  Notwithstanding  any provision  hereof to the contrary (other than
this Section  17.11),  the Special  Limited  Partner shall have the right at any
time after the beginning of the last year of the  Compliance  Period to require,
by written  notice to the General  Partner,  that the General  Partner  promptly
submit a written  request to the applicable  State Tax Credit Agency pursuant to
Section 42(h) of the Code (or any successor provision) that such agency endeavor
to locate within one year from the date of such written  request a purchaser for
the Project who will  continue to operate the Project as a qualified  low income
property, at a purchase price that is not less than the minimum amount set forth
in Section 42(h)(6) of the Code (or any successor provision).  In the event that


                                       57
<PAGE>

the State Tax Credit Agency  obtains an offer  satisfying  the conditions of the
preceding  sentence,  the  General  Partner  shall  promptly  notify the Special
Limited  Partner in writing  with  respect to the terms and  conditions  of such
offer,  and, if the Special  Limited  Partner  notifies the General Partner that
such offer should be accepted,  the General  Partner shall cause the Partnership
promptly  to accept  such offer and to proceed to sell the  Project  pursuant to
such offer.

         (b)  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of this  Agreement  to the
contrary, the Special Limited Partner shall have the right at any time after the
end of the  Compliance  Period to  require,  by  written  notice to the  General
Partner (the "Required Sale Notice"),  that the General Partner promptly use its
best efforts to obtain a buyer for the Project on the most favorable  terms then
available.  The General  Partner  shall submit the terms of any proposed sale to
the Special  Limited Partner for its approval in the manner set forth in Section
17.11(a) hereof.  If the General Partner shall fail to so obtain a buyer for the
Project  within  six months of receipt  of the  Required  Sale  Notice or if the
Consent of the Special Limited Partner in its sole discretion  shall be withheld
to any proposed sale,  then the Special  Limited Partner shall have the right at
any time thereafter to obtain a buyer for the Project on terms acceptable to the
Special  Limited  Partner (but not less  favorable to the  Partnership  than any
proposed sale previously rejected by the Special Limited Partner).  In the event
that the Special Limited Partner so obtains a buyer, it shall notify the General
Partner in writing with respect to the terms and conditions of the proposed sale
and the General Partner shall cause the Partnership promptly to sell the Project
to such buyer.

         (c) A sale of the Project prior to the end of the Compliance Period may
only  take  place if the  conditions  of  Section  42(j)(6)  of the Code (or any
successor provision) will be satisfied upon such sale by having the purchaser of
the Project post the required bond on behalf of the Partnership.

         Section  17.12  Number and  Gender.  All  pronouns  and any  variations
thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or
plural as the identity of the Person or Persons may require.

         Section 17.13 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement  constitutes the entire
understanding  between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
all prior  understandings and agreements  between the parties,  written or oral,
respecting this transaction are merged in this Agreement.

         Section 17.14     Governing  Law.  This  Agreement and its application
shall be governed by the laws of the State.

                                       58

prevailing party shall be entitled to recover,  in addition to costs,  such sums
as the court may adjudge  reasonable as attorney's  fees,  including fees on any
appeal.

         Section 17.16 Receipt of  Correspondence.  The Partners  agree that the
General  Partner  shall send to the  Limited  Partner  and the  Special  Limited
Partner a copy of any  correspondence  relative to the  Project's  noncompliance
with the Mortgage,  relative to the acceleration of the Mortgage and/or relative
to the disposition of the Project.

         Section 17.17 Security  Interest and Right of Set-Off.  As security for

c/o WNC & Associates, Inc.
3158 Redhill Avenue, Suite 120
Costa Mesa, California  92626

RE:      Mark Twain Senior Community Limited Partnership

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, L.P.,  Series
5, a California limited partnership (the "Limited Partner") in Mark Twain Senior
Community  Limited  Partnership  (the   "Partnership"),   a  California  limited
partnership  formed  to own,  develop,  rehabilitate,  finance  and  operate  an
apartment complex for low-income  persons (the "Apartment  Complex") in Oakland,
Alameda County,  California.  The general partner(s) of the Partnership (is/are)
Thomas P. Lam and Marilyn S. Lam, (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)   ________________________,   one  of  the  General   Partners,   is  a
[corporation/partnership] duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the
State of  _____________________  and has full power and  authority to enter into
and    perform    its    obligations    under   the    Partnership    Agreement.
_____________________,    one   of   the   other   General   Partners,    is   a
[corporation/partnership] duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the
State of  __________________  and has full power and authority to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Partnership Agreement.

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

     (c) The  Partnership  is validly  existing under and subject to the laws of
California    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.

     (d) 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.

     (e) 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.

     (f) To the best of  counsel's  knowledge,  after due  inquiry,  there is no
litigation  or  governmental   proceeding  pending  or  threatened  against,  or

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.

         (h) 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.

         (i) 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.

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

         (k) 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.

         (l) 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

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.

         We express no opinion as to any matter  except  those set forth  above.
These opinions are rendered for use by the Limited Partner and its legal counsel
which will rely on this opinion in connection  with federal  income tax opinions
to be rendered by that firm. This opinion may not be delivered to or relied upon
by any other person or entity without our express written consent.

any of the Project Documents.

         (r) 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

been bonded against (or as to which other adequate  financial  security has been
issued) in a manner as to indemnify  the  Partnership  against  loss;  provided,
however, the foregoing does not apply to matters of general  applicability which
would adversely affect the Partnership,  the General Partner,  Affiliates of the
General  Partner or the Project  only insofar as they or any of them are part of
the general public.

         (t)  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.

         (u) The General  Partner  and/or an acceptable  guarantor has and shall
maintain a net worth equal to at least  $1,000,000  computed in accordance  with

                        TAX CREDIT COMPLIANCE MONITORING:
                              ANNUAL CERTIFICATION

         As General Partner of Mark Twain Senior Community Limited  Partnership,
I hereby certify as to the following:

         1. Mark Twain Senior Community Limited Partnership owns a one hundred 
six (106) unit project ("Project") in Oakland, Alameda County, California.

         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
California that the foregoing is true and correct.

             Net Operating Income available.

<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
California and shall be construed and governed under California 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
California  and/or to the  jurisdiction  and venue of any United States District
Court in the State of California 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  California,  even if it was, in fact,
executed and delivered elsewhere.

                                OPERATING BUDGET
                                    AGREEMENT


         This Operating Budget Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of the
date  written  below  by  and  between  Mark  Twain  Senior  Community   Limited
Partnership,  a  California  limited  Partnership  ("Owner"),  Thomas P. Lam and
Marilyn S. Lam,  husband and wife  (collectively  the  "General  Partner"),  WNC
Housing Tax Credit Fund VI,  L.P.,  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 1.07 acres of land in Oakland, Alameda County, 
California (the "Real Property").

         B. Owner  developed  on the Real  Property a one hundred six (106) unit
low-income  rental housing complex and other related  improvements  for elderly,
which is intended to qualify for  federal  low-income  housing tax credits  (the
"Project").

         C. On the even date herewith an amended partnership  agreement for Mark
Twain Senior Community Limited Partnership ("Partnership Agreement") was entered
into by and between  Thomas P. Lam and  Marilyn S. Lam,  husband and wife as the
general partners  (collectively the "General  Partner"),  WNC Housing Tax Credit
Fund VI, L.P.,  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  Mark  Twain  Senior
Community  Limited  Partnership  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  used  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.


                                       1

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

     F. 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,  the cost of  construction to build 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 construction  loan, 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.

         3. 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
