articles of personal property, including refrigerators and ranges. If costs and
expenses necessary to effect Completion of Construction exceed the sum of the

shall, to the extent permitted under the Project Documents and any applicable
regulations or requirements of the MHDC, be reimbursed at or prior to Permanent

such deficiency as required by this Section 6.2(a), any amounts otherwise
payable to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates as a Development Fee
pursuant to Section 9.2 or any other fee pursuant to this Agreement, shall be

Section 7.4 Adjustment of Capital Contribution.
(a)(1) As evidenced by IRS Form 8609 and the audited construction cost
certification, if the Limited Partner's 99% interest in the Tax Credit is
different than $1,116,250 then the Capital Contribution provided for in Section
7.2 shall be adjusted by the amount which will make the total Capital
Contribution to be paid by the Limited Partner to the Partnership equal to 57.5%
of the total Tax Credits allocated to the Limited Partner. In the event there is
a reduction in the Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4, Projected
Tax Credits shall thereafter be referred to as the "Revised Projected Tax
Credits." Notwithstanding the provision of this Section, if the Limited Partner
has closed its offering to sell its limited partnership interest to the public
prior to receipt of a notice of an increase in the Limited Partner's 99%
Interest in the Tax Credits then the Partners consent and agree that the Limited
Partner is not required to increase its Capital Contribution pursuant to this
Section 7.4(a)(1)and (a)(2).
(a)(2) As evidenced by the IRS Form 8609, if the total Tax Credit
allocated to the Partnership is different than $112,750 per year, then the
Capital Contribution of the Special Limited Partner shall be adjusted to equal
the amount of the total annual Tax Credits allocated to the Partnership.
(b) If the Capital Contribution of the Limited Partner and the Special
Limited Partner are to be adjusted pursuant to this Section 7.4 during the
period when the Limited Partner is required to make their Capital Contribution,
then the amount of the adjustment shall be applied to the next Capital
Contribution owed by the Limited Partner. If the Capital Contribution reduction
referenced in this Section 7.4 is greater than the balance of a Limited
Partner's Capital Contribution payments ("Reduction Shortfall") then the amount
of the Reduction Shortfall shall be paid by the General Partner to such Limited
Partner within ninety days of the General Partner receiving notice of the
Reduction Shortfall from the Limited Partner.
(c) The General Partner will use its best efforts to rent 100% of the
Project's apartment units to Qualified Tenants over the fifteen (15) year LIHTC
life. If at any time the Accountants determine that the Actual Tax Credit for
any fiscal year or portion thereof is less than the Projected Tax Credit, or the
Revised Projected Tax Credit, if applicable, pertaining to such fiscal year or
portion thereof, then the Capital Contribution of the Limited Partner shall be
reduced by an amount equal to the difference between (A) Projected Tax Credits,
19
<PAGE>
or the Revised Projected Tax Credits, if applicable, and (B) the Actual Tax
Credit. Any reduction in Capital Contribution shall first be applied to reduce
the Limited Partner's next Capital Contribution, and any portion of such
reduction in excess of such Capital Contribution shall be applied to reduce
succeeding Capital Contributions of the Limited Partner. If no further Capital
Contribution payments are due and owing from the Limited Partner, then the
entire amount of such reduction shall be repaid by the Partnership to the
Limited Partner promptly after demand is made therefore. During the first five
calendar years of Partnership operations, the General Partner is obligated to
provide such funds to the Partnership as shall be necessary to cause the
aforesaid payment to be made by the Partnership to the Limited Partner.
(d) In the event that, for any reason, at any time after the first five
calendar years of Partnership operations, if the amount of the Actual Tax Credit
shall be less than the Projected Tax Credit (or the Revised Projected Tax
Credit, if applicable) (the "Credit Shortfall") then there shall be a
corresponding reduction in the General Partner's Cash Flow From Operations in an
amount equal to the Credit Shortfall and said amount shall be paid to the
Limited Partner. In the event there is not sufficient funds to pay the full
Credit Shortfall to the Limited Partner at the time of the next Distribution of
Cash Flow From Operations then the Limited Partner shall be treated as having
made a constructive advance to the Partnership with respect to such year (a
"Credit Shortfall Loan"), which shall be deemed to have been made on January 1
of such year. Credit Shortfall Loans shall be deemed to bear simple interest
(not compounded) from the respective dates on which such principal advances are
deemed to have been made under this Section 7.4(d) at 7% per annum. Credit
Shortfall Loans shall be repaid in the next year in which sufficient monies are
available from the General Partner's Cash Flow From Operations. In the event a
Sale or Refinancing of the Project occurs prior to repayment in full of the
Credit Shortfall Loan then the excess will be paid in accordance with Section
11.2(c).
Section 7.5 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, in its sole
discretion, determine that such cash should, in whole or in part, be returned to
the Limited Partner in reduction of its Capital Contribution. Any Distribution
to the Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 7.5, or pursuant to Section 7.4,
20
<PAGE>
shall be deemed to have been consented to by the Limited Partner. No such return
shall be made:
(a) Until this Agreement has been amended to reflect such
reduction of capital; and
(b) 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 7.6 Liability of Limited Partner. The Limited Partner shall not
be liable for any of the debts, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of
the Partnership. The Limited Partner shall be liable only to make its Capital
Contribution in the amounts and on the dates specified in this Agreement and
shall not be required to lend any funds to the Partnership or, after its Capital
Contribution has been paid, to make any further Capital Contribution to the
Partnership.

authority of a partner of a partnership without limited partners. If there is

General Partner harmless against all obligations and liabilities arising or
resulting from or incidental to said violation. No Limited Partner (except one
who may also be a General Partner, and then only in its capacity as General
Partner within the scope of its authority hereunder) shall have any right to be
active in the management of the Partnership's business or investments or to

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 not specially allocated as
provided in this Article X, including all Tax Credits, shall be allocated 99% to
the Limited Partner and 1% to the General Partner. Any and all Missouri Tax
Credits shall be allocated to the Special Limited Partner. Missouri Tax Credits
are those Tax Credits under the State of Missouri Tax Code deductiable from
income tax, otherwise payable to the State of Missouri.
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 Cash Flow From Operations 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
31
<PAGE>
(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 Limited Partner's positive Capital Account balance to an amount
equal to its Capital Contribution, shall be allocated to the Limited Partner;
(3) Third, an amount of Income sufficient to increase the General Partner's
Capital Account to an amount equal to its Capital Contribution;
(4) Fourth, an amount of Income sufficient to increase the Special Limited
Partner's positive Capital Account balance to an amount equal to 1/2 of its
Capital Contribution.
(5) Fifth, such Income shall be allocated 50% to the Limited Partner, 5% to
the Special Limited Partner, and 45% to the General Partner until the Special
Limited Partner has been allocated an amount equal to 1/2 of its Capital
Contribution; and
(6) The balance, if any, of such Income shall be allocated 50% to the
Limited Partner, .1% to the Special Limited Partner, and 49.9% 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 Cash Flow From Operations 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 98.9% to the Limited
Partner, .1% 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. Subject
to Section 10.3(o) in the event an allocation of 98.9% of each item includable
32
<PAGE>
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 an allocation of .1% 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 Special Limited Partner, 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 Special
Limited Partner as is necessary to allow the Limited Partner to be allocated
98.9% 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 always shall be allocated 98.9% of the items of Income other than Income
allocated pursuant to Section 10.3(o) not arising from a Sale or Refinancing and
98.9% of the Project depreciation, and the Special Limited Partner being
allocated .1% of such items.
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
33
<PAGE>
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
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.
34
<PAGE>
(e) Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially
allocated 99% to the 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.
35
<PAGE>
(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 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.
(o) The Special Limited Partner shall be specially allocated 25% of
operating deductions, not including Project depreciation, interest deductions,
or amortized amounts. This special allocation shall be suspended if and to the
extent that it would create or increase an adjusted Capital Account Deficit for
the Special Limited 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
36
<PAGE>
(other than the Regulatory Allocations), with the Consent of the 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 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% to the 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
37
<PAGE>
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 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% and 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.
(f) Tax Credits shall be allocated 99% to the Limited Partner and 1% to the
General Partner. In the event there occurs a recapture of Tax Credits previously
allocated to the Partners, the responsibility for the recapture of such Tax
Credits shall be allocated in accordance with the requirements of the Code and
the Treasury Regulations; namely, to the Partners (if permitted by applicable
law) who are or are deemed to be Partners in the year in which such recapture
occurs, in accordance with their interests in the losses of the Partnership for
that year. Missouri Tax Credits shall be allocated 100% to the Special Limited
Partner, which Special Limited Partner also shall be allocated 100% of any
recapture of Missouri Tax Credits.
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
38
<PAGE>
to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset
Value (computed in accordance with Section 1.25(a) hereof).
In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted
pursuant to Section 1.28(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 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.
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 to the
minimum extent necessary, to effect the plan of allocations and Distributions
39
<PAGE>
provided for elsewhere in this Agreement. Further, the General Partner shall
make any appropriate modifications 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

has been received by the Partnership.
Section 12.5 Substitution of Assignee as Limited Partner.
(a) An Assignee shall not have the right to become a substitute Limited

Partnership.
(c) The General Partner may elect to treat a transferee of a

GENERAL PARTNER

be conditioned upon the agreement of one or more successor General Partner who
43
<PAGE>
satisfy the requirements of Section 13.3 of this Agreement to be admitted as
substitute General Partner(s).
Section 13.2 Removal of General Partner.
(a) Subject to the limitations imposed on the Project and the
Partnership by applicable MHDC regulations, the Limited Partner may remove the
General Partner:
(1) For cause if such General Partner has:
(A) Been subject to an Event of Bankruptcy;
(B) Committed any fraud, willful misconduct, breach of
fiduciary duty or other grossly negligent conduct in the performance of its
duties under this Agreement;
(C) Made personal use of Partnership funds or

violation prompts the MHDC to issue a default letter or acceleration notice
to the Partnership or General Partner and such conduct caused the Partnership
to suffer an uninsurable loss;
(E) Materially breached any representation, warranty
or covenant contained in this Agreement or failed to perform any action which
may be required by this Agreement and such conduct caused the Partnership to
suffer an uninsurable loss;

which causes a recapture of LIHTC; or
(G) Failed during any six-month period during the
first 15 years of Project operations to cause at least 85% of the total
apartment units in the Project to qualify for LIHTC, unless such failure is the
result of fire, flood, earthquake or other act of God 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 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. Notwithstanding, if either Section 13.2(a)(1)(B) or(c)
44
<PAGE>
is the basis for the removal for cause then the General Partner shall have 30
days in which to object to such removal by written notice to the Limited
Partner. If the General Partner does not object within such 30 day period, the
removal shall be effective as of the expiration of such period. If the General
Partner object, the matter shall be submitted within 30 days of such notice of
objection to binding arbitration which shall conform to the rules of the
American Arbitration Association, as far as appropriate. The decision of the
arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the parties in a court of competent
jurisdiction. Within 25 days after the General Partner gives notice of its
objection to its removal, the Limited Partner and the General Partner shall each
select one arbitrator and the two arbitrators chosen shall select a third
arbitrator. The three arbitrators shall hold a hearing within 30 days after
their selection and shall render a decision as to whether or not the removal of
the General Partner was appropriate under the circumstances. The decision of a
majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding. The cost of arbitration
shall be borne one half by the Partnership and one half by the General Partner.
(c) Upon receipt of such the 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 in the ordinary course of business of the Partnership or
otherwise unless such sale or disposition is subject to a contract entered into
by and binding upon the Partnership prior to the date upon which such notice was
received by the General Partner. If possible, 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. The expenses of the accounting shall be
borne by the General Partner.
(d) The removal of the General Partner for cause shall become effective
upon the date set forth in the notice. Such General Partner shall (i) cease to
be a Partner of, or have any further interest in, the Partnership as of the
effective date of the removal; (ii) be entitled to receive as its sole
compensation for its interest in the Partnership an amount equal to its Capital
Account balance as of the effective date of the removal, payable upon the
dissolution and termination of the Partnership after all of the Partners have
been distributed the positive balances in their Capital Accounts; and (iii)
45
<PAGE>
remain liable to restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account as of the
date of its removal as provided in Section 15.3(b) of this Agreement.

substitute General Partner; (iii) such Person, if a corporation, shall satisfy
the "safe harbor" guidelines established by Revenue Procedure 89-12, 1989-7
I.R.B. or any successor Revenue Procedure; and (iv) such Person shall have
executed and acknowledged any other instruments which the withdrawing General
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 substitute General Partner. Nothing contained herein shall reduce the
Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership.
Section 13.4 Continuing Liability. In the event a General Partner
withdraws from the Partnership or sells, transfers or assigns its entire
interest pursuant to this Article XIII, such General Partner shall be, and shall
remain, liable for all obligations and liabilities incurred as General Partner
and the Partnership prior to the effective date of such event and shall be free
of any obligation or liability incurred on account of the activities of the
Partnership after such time.
Section 13.5 Transfer of Interest. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the General Partner may not assign, transfer, mortgage or sell any portion of
its interest in 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 Limited Partner. A transferee of the General Partner's interest in the
Partnership shall not become a General Partner.
Section 13.6 Payment to General Partner Upon Resignation, Death or
Insanity.
(a) Upon the resignation of the General Partner pursuant to Section
13.1, or the dissolution, death or insanity of the General Partner, or removal
of the General Partner in accordance with Section 13.2(a)(1)(A),(D) and if the
46
<PAGE>
business of the Partnership is to be continued with one or more successor or
additional General Partner(s), the Partnership shall have the right, with the
approval of the Limited Partner and MHDC, if required, but not the obligation,
to terminate such General Partner's Partnership Interest upon payment to such
General Partner of the Fair Market Value of such Interest as determined by two
independent appraisers. If the Partnership does not terminate the General
Partner's Partnership interest pursuant to the previous sentence, then the
General Partner shall retain the same Interest in the Income, Losses, Tax
Credits, Distributions and Capital of the Partnership as it previously held
under this Agreement, but such interest shall be as a special limited partner;
and the General Partner shall not be personally liable for Partnership debts
incurred after such General Partner's ceases to be a General Partner. The
terminated General Partner or its representative shall choose one appraiser and
the successor or continuing General Partner(s) shall choose one appraiser. If
such appraisers cannot agree upon the Fair Market Value of the General Partner's
Partnership interest within 30 days after the effective date of the termination
of the General Partner, the two appraisers so chosen shall jointly choose a
third appraiser. The Fair Market Value of the General Partner's Partnership
interest shall be the appraisal submitted by the third appraiser whose
determination shall be final and binding. Each of the parties shall compensate
its own appraiser and the compensation of the third appraiser shall be borne
equally by such parties. If the continuing or successor General Partner(s) fail
to choose an appraiser, the Fair Market Value of the General Partner's
Partnership Interest shall be determined by the appraiser chosen by the
terminated General Partner. If the terminated General Partner fails to choose an
appraiser, the Fair Market Value of the terminated General Partner's Partnership
Interest shall be determined by the appraiser chosen by the continuing or
successor General Partner(s).
(b) The purchase price of the General Partner's Partnership Interest
upon resignation, dissolution, death or insanity, as determined pursuant to
Section 13.6(a), shall be paid by the Partnership by delivering to the General
Partner or its representative as the case may be the Partnership's unsecured
promissory note bearing interest at a rate which is equal to the lesser of 2%
per annum in excess of the then prevailing prime or reference rate charged by
Bank of America N.T. & S.A., Main Office, San Francisco, California, or the
maximum legal rate. Said note shall be payable upon Liquidation in accordance
47
<PAGE>
with state law priority. The note shall also provide that the Partnership may
prepay all or any part thereof without penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
if such note is delivered following the resignation of the General Partner then
(i) such note shall not bear interest and (ii) the principal payable to the
resigned General Partner shall be limited in amount and date of payment to
Distributions which such resigned General Partner would have received under this
Agreement had the General Partner not resigned.

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 retirement, removal, Event of Bankruptcy, dissolution, death or
insanity of the General Partner, unless (i) at the time there is at least one
other General Partner who will continue as General Partner, or (ii) within 120
days after the occurrence of any such event all of the Partners elect 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;
(c) The written election to do so of the Limited Partner; or
(d) The Partnership becomes subject to an Event of Bankruptcy.
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 Note Agreement or any other
agreement with or rule or regulation of MHDC 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 holder of a
Partnership interest shall look 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 the General Partner or any Limited Partner. No Partner shall
have any right to demand or receive property other than money upon dissolution
and termination of the Partnership.

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 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(d), the remaining assets of the Partnership
(or the proceeds of sales or other dispositions in liquidation of the
Partnership assets, as may be determined by the General Partner or other
liquidator) shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with the positive
balances in their Capital Accounts. In order to make a final determination of
the Capital Account of each Partner:
(1) the allocations pursuant to Section 11.2(e), Section 11.2(f) and
Section 11.2(g) shall be made, but not distributed; and
(2) the Income and Losses of the Partnership upon Liquidation or
dissolution and winding up shall then be allocated among the Partners as set
forth in Section 10.2.
(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 taxable year in which such Liquidation occurs, such General Partner
shall pay to the Partnership the lesser of:
(1) the amount necessary to restore such deficit balance to zero in
compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3); or
(2) 1.01% of the Capital Contributions.
(3) The deficit reduction amount shall be paid by the General Partner by
the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of
Liquidation) 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.
54
<PAGE>
(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.
(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.
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, 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 matter 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.
55
<PAGE>
Section 15.5 Liquidation of 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
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.
(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

and any other information which the General Partner determines to include

FORM OF LEGAL OPINION
WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND V, L.P., SERIES 4
WNC & Associates, Inc.
3158 Redhill Avenue, Suite 120
Costa Mesa, California 92626
RE: GREYHOUND ASSOCIATES I, L.P.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion with respect to certain matters in connection
with the investment by WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND V, L.P., SERIES 4, a
California limited partnership (the "Limited Partner") in GREYHOUND ASSOCIATES
I, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a Missouri limited partnership formed to own,
develop, (construct/rehabilitate) finance and operate an apartment complex for
low-income persons (the "Apartment Complex") in Windsor, Henry County, Missouri.
The general partner(s) of the Partnership (is/are) WCM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION (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,
B-1
<PAGE>
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 Partner, is a
[corporate/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 Partner, 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 and after the [filing or execution] of the
Amended [Partnership Agreement] [Certificate] will continue to be a limited
partnership duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of
Missouri.
(c) The Partnership is and after the filing of the Amended [Partnership
Agreement] [Certificate] will continue to be validly existing under and subject
to the laws of Missouri 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 Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership by the General Partner 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 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
B-2
<PAGE>
involving the Project, the Partnership or any General Partner which would
materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business
of the Project, the Partnership or any of the Partners of the Partnership prior
to or following execution and filing of the Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership, or the Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner.
(g) Upon the execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership providing for the admission of the Limited
Partner as substitute limited partner [and the filing] the Limited Partner will
be the limited partners of the Partnership entitled to all of the rights of
limited partners under the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership. Except as described in the Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership, 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 will have any liability for the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage Loan
represented thereby (as those terms are defined in the Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership), and the lender of the Mortgage Loan will look
only to its security in the Project for repayment of the Mortgage Loan.
(j) The Partnership owns a fee simple interest in the Project.
(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 Project, and the
Project conforms to all applicable Federal, state and local land use, zoning,
health, building and safety laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.
(l) The Project 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 Project for such final allocation are
subject to a series of requirements which must be met, performed or achieved at
B-3
<PAGE>
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 Project 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.
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. We
understand that WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND V, L.P., SERIES 4's legal counsel
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.
Sincerely,

As General Partner of GREYHOUND ASSOCIATES I, L.P. hereby certify as to the
following:
1. GREYHOUND ASSOCIATES I, L.P. owns a twenty-four (24) unit Project
("Project") in Windsor Henry County, Missouri.
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 Project
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
