The Operating Partnership and the Operating General Partner
jointly and severally represent, warrant and certify to the Investment
Partnership, Boston Capital, and Xxxxx & Xxxxx, P.C. that, with
respect to the Operating Partnership, as of the date hereof:
1.01 The Operating Partnership is duly organized
and in good standing as a limited partnership pursuant to the laws of
the state of its formation with full power and authority to own its
apartment complex (the "Apartment Complex") and conduct its business;
the Operating Partnership, the Operating General Partner and the
Withdrawing Original Limited Partner have the power and authority to
enter into and perform this Certification and Agreement; the execution
and delivery of this Certification and Agreement by the Operating
Partnership, the Operating General Partner and the Withdrawing
Original Limited Partner have been duly and validly authorized by all
necessary action; the execution and delivery of this Certification and
Agreement, the fulfillment of its terms and consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereunder do not and will not conflict with
or result in a violation, breach or termination of or constitute a
default under (or would not result in such a conflict, violation,
breach, termination or default with the giving of notice or passage of
time or both) any other agreement, indenture or instrument by which
the Operating Partnership or any Operating General Partner or
Withdrawing Original Limited Partner is bound or any law, regulation,
judgment, decree or order applicable to the Operating Partnership or
any Operating General Partner or any Withdrawing Original Limited
Partner or any of their respective properties; this Certification and
Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Operating
Partnership, the Operating General Partner and the Withdrawing
Original Limited Partner, enforceable against each of them in
accordance with its terms.
1.02 The Operating General Partner has delivered to
the Investment Partnership, Boston Capital or their affiliates all
documents and information requested, and to General Partner's
knowledge, there is no other information which would be material to a
prudent investor in deciding whether to invest in the Operating
Partnership. All factual information, including without limitation the
information set forth in Exhibit A hereto, provided to the Investment
Partnership, Boston Capital or their affiliates either in writing or
orally, did not, at the time given, and does not, on the date hereof,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under
which they are made. Since the date of the financial statements for
the Operating General Partner previously delivered, there has been no
material adverse change in the financial position of the Operating
General Partner. The estimates of occupancy rates, operating
expenses, cash flow, depreciation and tax credits set forth on Exhibit
A are reasonable in light of the knowledge and experience of the
Operating General Partner.
1.03 As of the date hereof, each of the
representations contained in Exhibit B attached hereto is true,
accurate and complete as to each of the Operating Partnership, the
Operating General Partner and the Withdrawing Original Limited Partner
and as to any of their affiliates, any of their predecessors and their
affiliates' predecessors, any of their directors, officers, general
partners and/or beneficial owners of ten percent (10%) or more of any
class of their equity securities (beneficial ownership meaning the
power to vote or direct the vote and/or the power to dispose or direct
the disposition of such securities), as the case may be, and any
promoters presently connected with them in any capacity.
1.04 Each of the representations and warranties
contained in the Operating Partnership Agreement is true and correct
as of the date hereof.

Operating Partnership and the Operating General Partner contained in

prior to the date hereof.
1.06 All conditions to admission of the Investment
Partnership as the investment limited partner of the Operating
Partnership contained in the Operating Partnership Agreement have been
satisfied.
1.07 No default has occurred and is continuing
under the Operating Partnership Agreement or any of the Project
Documents (as said term is defined in the Operating Partnership

responsibility to pay all maintenance and operating costs, including
all taxes levied and all insurance costs, attributable to the

extent it is protected by insurance and excluding any risk borne by
lenders, bears the sole risk of loss if the Apartment Complex is
destroyed or condemned or there is a diminution in the value of the
Apartment Complex.
1.12 No person or entity except the Operating
Partnership has the right to any proceeds, after payment of all
indebtedness, from the sale, refinancing, or leasing of the Apartment
Complex.
1.13 No Operating General Partner is related in any
manner to the Investment Partnership, nor is any Operating General
Partner acting as an agent of the Investment Partnership.
1.14 The Apartment Complex contains no substance
known to be hazardous, such as hazardous waste, lead-based paint,
asbestos, methane gas, urea formaldehyde insulation, oil, toxic
substances, underground storage tanks, polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs), and radon; the Apartment Complex is not affected by the
presence of oil, toxic substances, or other pollutants that could be a
detriment to the Apartment Complex nor is the Operating Partnership in
violation of any local, state, or federal law or regulation; and no
violation of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, Toxic Substance Control Act, Safe Drinking Water
Control Act, Comprehensive Environmental Resource Compensation and
Liability Act, or Occupational Safety and Health Act has occurred or
is continuing. Neither the Operating Partnership, any Operating
General Partner, any Withdrawing Original General Partner nor any
Withdrawing Original Limited Partner has received any notice from any
source whatsoever of the existence of any such hazardous condition
relating to the Apartment Complex or of any violation of any local,
state or federal law or regulation with respect to the Apartment
Complex.
1.15 The fair market value of the Apartment Complex
exceeds the total amount of indebtedness encumbering the Apartment
Complex and is expected to continue to do so throughout the term of
such indebtedness.
2. Indemnification
2.01 The Operating General Partner (for purposes of
this Section 2.01, the "Indemnifying Parties" or, individually, an
"Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Investment Partnership and Boston Capital (for purposes of this
Section 2.01, the "Indemnified Parties" or, individually, an
"Indemnified Party") and each officer, director, employee and person,
if any, who controls any party against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (collectively, "Liabilities"), joint or several, to which
any Indemnified Party or such officer, director, employee or
controlling person may become subject, insofar as such Liabilities or
actions in respect thereof arise out of or are based upon (i) a breach
by such Indemnifying Party of any of his representations, warranties
or covenants to such Indemnified Party or any such of its officers,
directors, employees or controlling persons under this Certification
and Agreement or (ii) liability under any statute, regulation,
ordinance, or other provision of federal, state, or local law or any
civil action pertaining to the protection of the environment or
otherwise pertaining to public health or employee health and safety,
including, without limitation, protection from hazardous waste, lead--
based paint, asbestos, methane gas, urea formaldehyde insulation, oil,
toxic substance, underground storage tanks, polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs), and radon; and to reimburse each such Indemnified Party and
each such officer, director, employee or controlling person for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it or them in
connection with investigating or defending against any such Liability
or action; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be
required to indemnify any Indemnified Party or any such officer,
director, employee or controlling person for any payment made to any
claimant in settlement of any Liability or action unless such payment
is approved by the Indemnifying Party or by a court having
jurisdiction of the controversy. This indemnity agreement shall remain
in full force and effect notwithstanding any investigation made by any
party hereto, shall survive the termination of any agreement which
refers to this indemnity and shall be in addition to any liability
which the Indemnifying Party may otherwise have.
2.02 No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under
the indemnity agreements contained in Section 2.01 unless the
Indemnified Party shall have notified the Indemnifying Party in
writing within forty-five (45) business days after the summons or
other first legal process giving information of the nature of the
claim shall have been served upon the Indemnified Party or any such of
its officers, directors, employees or controlling persons, but failure
to notify an Indemnifying Party of any such claim shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party or any
such of its officers, directors, employees or controlling persons
against whom action is brought otherwise than on account of its
indemnity agreement contained in Section 2.01. In case any action is
brought against any Indemnified Party or any such of its officers,
directors, employees or controlling persons upon any such claim, and
it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof as
aforesaid, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate at
its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, in accordance
with arrangements satisfactory to the any Indemnifying Party or
parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel who shall be satisfactory to such Indemnified Party or any
such of its officers, directors, employees or controlling persons and
any other Indemnified Parties who are defendants in such action; and
after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party or
any such of its officers, directors, employees or controlling persons
of its election so to assume the defense thereof and the retaining of
such counsel by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall
not be liable to such Indemnified Party or any such of its officers,
directors, employees or controlling persons for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or any such
of its officers, directors, employees or controlling persons in
connection with the defense thereof, other than the reasonable costs
of investigation.
