Partnership Profits and Losses, and Distributions

PARTNERSHIP PROFITS AND LOSSES, AND DISTRIBUTIONS

All profits and losses prior to the first date on which Additional Limited Partners were admitted were allocated 98.49% to the Initial Limited Partners and 1.51% to the General Partners.  Upon admission of the Special Limited Partner and the Additional Limited Partners, the interest of the Initial Limited Partners was reduced to 0.49%.  The net proceeds resulting from the liquidation of the Partnership or the Partnership's share of the net proceeds from any sale or refinancing of the Local Partnerships or their rental properties which are not reinvested shall be distributed and applied as follows:

(i) to the payment of debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including all expenses of the Partnership incident to the sale or refinancing) other than loans or other debts and liabilities of the Partnership to any partner or any affiliate; such debts and liabilities, in the case of a non-liquidating distribution, to be only those which are then required to be paid or, in the judgment of the Managing General Partner, required to be provided for;

(ii) to the establishment of any reserves which the Managing General Partner deems reasonably necessary for contingent, unmatured or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership;

(iii) to each partner in an amount equal to the positive balance in his capital account as of the date of the sale or refinancing, adjusted for operations and distributions to that date, but before allocation of any profits for tax purposes realized from such sale or refinancing and allocated pursuant to the Partnership Agreement;

(iv) to the limited partners (A) an aggregate amount of proceeds from sale or refinancing and all prior sales or refinancings equal to their capital contributions, without reduction for prior cash distributions other than prior distributions of sale and refinancing proceeds, plus (B) an additional amount equal to a cumulative non-compounded six percent return on each limited partners' capital contribution, reduced, but not below zero, by (1) an amount equal to 50% of the losses for tax purposes plus tax credits allocated to such limited partner and (2) distributions of net cash flow to each limited partner, such return, losses for tax purposes and net cash flow distributions commencing on the first day of the month in which the capital contribution was made;

(v) to the repayment of any unrepaid loans theretofore made by any partner or any affiliate to the Partnership for Partnership obligations and to the payment of any unpaid amounts owing to the General Partners pursuant to the Partnership Agreement;

(vi) to the General Partners in the amount of their capital contributions;

(vii) thereafter, for their services to the Partnership, in equal shares to certain general partners (or their designees), whether or not any is then a general partner, an aggregate fee of one percent of the gross proceeds resulting from (A) such sale (if the proceeds are from a sale rather than a refinancing) and (B) any prior sales from which such one percent fee was not paid to the General Partners or their designees; and, [Messrs. Willoughby and Dockser waived their share of any such deferred fee in the Liquidation Proxy.]

(viii)the remainder,12% to the General Partners (or their assignees), 3% to the Special Limited Partner and 85% to the Initial and Additional Limited Partners (or their assignees).

Fees payable to certain general partners (or their designees) under (vii) above, together with all other property disposition fees and any other commissions or fees payable upon the sale of apartment properties, shall not in the aggregate exceed the lesser of the competitive rate or six percent of the sale price of the apartment properties.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, all cash available for distribution, as defined, shall be distributed, not less frequently than annually, 97% to the Additional Limited Partners, one percent to the Special Limited Partner, 0.49% to the Initial Limited Partner and 1.51% to the General Partners, after payment of the Management Fee (see Note 3), as specified in the Partnership Agreement.  On November 30, 2012, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $3,712,684 ($62 per Unit) to the Limited Partners who were holders of record as of September 30, 2012.

As defined in the Partnership Agreement, after the payment of distributions described in the previous paragraph, after the establishment of any reserves deemed necessary by the Managing General Partner and after payment of the Management Fee, the Partnership had no remaining cash available for distribution for the year ended December 31, 2011.
