  (1) Each Local  General  Partner is authorized to employ either itself or one of
  its affiliates, or a third party, as property manager for leasing and management

  (2) Each Local Limited  Partnership will pay its Local General  Partner(s) or an
  affiliate of its Local General  Partner(s) a  development  fee in the amount set
  forth,  for  services  incident  to  the  development  and  construction  of the
  Property/Properties,   which  services   include:   negotiating   the  financing
  commitments  for  the  Property/Properties;  securing  necessary  approvals  and

  Local Limited Partnership for each year of operations.  Generally, to the extent
  that  the  specific  dollar  amounts  which  are to be paid to WNC are not  paid
  annually,  they will accrue and be paid from sale or refinancing  proceeds as an
  obligation of the Local Limited Partnership.
