Note 5 – Transactions with Affiliated Parties

Under the terms of its Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is obligated to the General Partner for the following fees:

(a)  An annual Partnership management fee in an amount equal to 0.5 percent of   invested assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) as of the beginning of the year is payable to the General Partner. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, partnership management fees in the amount of approximately $185,000 and $245,000, respectively, were recorded as an expense.

(b)   A property disposition fee is payable to the General Partner in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of the competitive real estate commission that would have been charged by unaffiliated third parties providing comparable services in the area where the apartment complex is located, or (ii) 3 percent of the sale price received in connection with the sale or disposition of the apartment complex or local partnership interest, but in no event will the property disposition fee and all amounts payable to unaffiliated real estate brokers in connection with any such sale exceed in the aggregate, the lesser of the competitive rate (as described above) or 6 percent of such sale price. Receipt of the property disposition fee will be subordinated to the distribution of sale or refinancing proceeds by the Partnership until the limited partners have received distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds in an aggregate amount equal to (i) their 6 percent priority return for any year not theretofore satisfied (as defined in the partnership agreement) and (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate adjusted investment (as defined in the partnership agreement) of the limited partners.  No disposition fees have been paid or accrued.

(c)   The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses. The reimbursement to NAPICO was approximately $41,000 and $73,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses.

NTC-II or another affiliate of the General Partner is the Local Operating General Partner in one of the Partnership's five Local Partnerships at December 31, 2011. In addition, NTC-II is typically either a special limited partner or an administrative general partner in each Local Partnership in which the Partnership has an investment.

An affiliate of the General Partner managed one property owned by a Local Partnership during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Local Partnership pays the affiliate property management fees in the amount of five percent of its gross rental revenues and data processing fees. The amounts paid were approximately $105,000 and $104,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The General Partner is not obligated to advance funds to the Partnership for operations or to fund Partnership advances to Local Partnerships, but may voluntarily do so from time to time. There were no advances received by the Partnership during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Partnership may receive future advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Aimco and its affiliates owned 397.0 limited partnership interests (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 0.55% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2011. It is possible that Aimco or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of Aimco. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to Aimco as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as General Partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to Aimco as its sole stockholder.
