Exhibit 10.2

 

ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

 

This Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Agreement") is made as of June
28, 2011 (the "Effective Date"), by and among Housing Programs Limited, a
California limited partnership ("Assignor"), and Gleason E. Amboy, Joel I.
Ferguson, and Sol L. Steadman (collectively referred to herein as "Assignee");
and AMG-MGT, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (the "General Partner"
and together with Assignor and Assignee, each a "Party" and, as the context
requires, any two or more, collectively, "Parties"), with reference to the
following:

 

A.        Oshtemo Limited Dividend Housing Association (the "Partnership") was
formed as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of Michigan and is
being operated pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership of the Partnership, dated as of August 30, 1984, as amended by the
First Amendment to Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated
as of March 1, 2007 (collectively, the "Amended Partnership Agreement").

 

B.         Assignor, being the sole limited partner in the Partnership, has
agreed to assign all of its limited partnership interests in the Partnership to
Assignee and withdraw from the Partnership, Assignee has agreed to acquire such
interests, and the General Partner has consented to such assignment and
assumption, all pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and for such other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.         Assignment and Assumption.

 

1.1       Effective as of the "Closing" (as hereinafter defined):

 

(a)        Assignor hereby assigns to Assignee (in three equal parts) 100% of
Assignor's interest in the Partnership, including, without limitation,
Disposition Profits, Disposition Losses, Operating Disbursements, Operating
Profits, Profits and Losses (each as defined in the Amended Partnership
Agreement) and all other Partnership assets, and all rights to any fees, loan
repayments and reimbursements (collectively, the "Interest"); and

 

(b)        Assignee assumes and agrees to perform all of the obligations of
Assignor under the Partnership Agreement.

 

1.2       In consideration of Assignor's assignments of the Interest, at the
Closing Assignee shall pay to Assignor an amount (the "Payment") equal to Three
Hundred fifty Thousand ($350,000.00) Dollars, payable in cash. The Payment shall
be treated as a direct acquisition of the Interest. Assignor covenants and
agrees that such sum shall be received in full satisfaction of all obligations
and liabilities due Assignor in connection with or in any manner arising out of
the Partnership, the Property (as defined in the Amended Partnership Agreement)
or any other assets owned by the Partnership. The Payment shall be made by
federal funds wired pursuant to instructions from Assignor.

 

           

2.         Closing.

 

2.1       The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the
"Closing") shall occur no later than December 31, 2011 (the "Closing Date"). In
the event the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing Date, this
Agreement shall terminate automatically without the necessity of any further
action on the part of any of the Parties unless the Parties otherwise agree in
writing.

 

2.2       At the Closing:

 

(a)        As provided in Section 1.2, Assignee shall pay the Payment; and

 

(b)        Assignor, Assignee and the General Partner shall execute and
exchange countersigned counterparts of the Second Amendment to Amended and
Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Amendment").

 

            3.         Conditions to Closing.

 

3.1       Each of the Parties acknowledges that the consent of the Governmental
Agencies (as defined in the Amended Partnership Agreement) to the transfer of
the Interest, as contemplated by this Agreement, is required. The General
Partner and Assignee shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
the same, and Assignor, at no cost, expense or liability to it, will fully
cooperate with the General Partner and Assignee by providing the Governmental
Agencies with such information and executing documents which the Governmental
Agencies may reasonably require in order to evaluate such transfer, and it shall
be a condition precedent to Closing that the Governmental Agencies' consent is
received prior to Closing. The General Partner and Assignee, on the one hand,
and Assignor, on the other, shall each provide the other with copies of any
correspondence from the Governmental Agencies or that it receives in connection
with the Governmental Agencies' review of the proposed transfer of the Interest.

 

3.2       It shall be a condition precedent to Closing that all representations
and warranties set forth herein shall be true and correct in all material
respects, and all covenants set forth herein shall have been fully complied with
in all material respects, as of the Closing.

 

3.3       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or implied in this
Agreement, there are no other conditions to the obligation of the Parties to
close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement except as expressly set
forth in this Section 3.

 

3.4       If on the date of Closing any condition set forth in Section 3 has not
been satisfied, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect.

           

4.         Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

 

4.1       As a material inducement to Assignee entering into this Agreement,
Assignor hereby represents and warrants to Assignee the following are true and
correct as of the Effective Date, shall be true and correct as of the Closing
Date, and shall survive the Closing and the withdrawal of Assignor from the
Partnership:

 

(a)        Assignor is the owner of the Interest and the Interest is not subject
to any lien, pledge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever and Assignee shall
acquire the same free of any rights or claims thereto by any other party
claiming by, through or under Assignor.

 

(b)        The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Assignor and the
performance of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly authorized by
all requisite corporate and partnership proceedings and, assuming the due and
proper execution and delivery by Assignee and the General Partner, this
Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against Assignor in accordance with
its terms.

 

(c)        No proceeding before any federal, state, municipal or other
governmental department, commission, board or agency is pending against Assignor
or, to the knowledge of Assignor, threatened against Assignor pursuant to which
an unfavorable judgment would restrain, prohibit, invalidate, set aside,
rescind, prevent or make unlawful this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereunder, nor does Assignee know of any reason to believe any such
proceeding will be instituted.

 

(d)        Assignor has incurred no obligation or liability, contingent or
otherwise, for brokerage or finders' fees or agents' commissions or other
similar payment in connection with this Agreement.

 

4.2       As a material inducement to Assignor entering into this Agreement,
Assignee hereby represents and warrants to Assignor the following are true and
correct as of the Effective Date, shall be true and correct as of the Closing
Date, and shall survive the Closing and the withdrawal of Assignor from the
Partnership:

 

(a)        The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Assignee and the
performance of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly authorized by
all requisite corporate and partnership proceedings.

           

(b)        Assuming the due and proper execution and delivery by Assignor, this
Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against Assignee in accordance with
its terms.

 

(c)        No proceeding before any federal, state, municipal or other
governmental department, commission, board or agency is pending against Assignee
or, to the knowledge of Assignee, threatened against Assignee pursuant to which
an unfavorable judgment would restrain, prohibit, invalidate, set aside,
rescind, prevent or make unlawful this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereunder, nor does Assignee know of any reason to believe any such
proceeding will be instituted.

 

(d)        Assignee has incurred no obligation or liability, contingent or
otherwise, for brokerage or finders' fees or agents' commissions or other
similar payment in connection with this Agreement.

 

(e)        Assignee is aware of the restrictions on transfer or encumbrance of
the Interest under the Partnership Agreement, as well as the transfer
restrictions imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable
state securities laws (the "Securities Laws"). Assignee is able to bear the
economic risk of its investment in the Interest, is aware that it must hold the
Interest for an indefinite period and that the Interest has not been registered
under the applicable Securities Laws and may not be sold or otherwise
transferred unless permitted by the terms of the Partnership Agreement and the
Interest is registered, or an exemption from the registration requirements is
available with respect thereto, under the Securities Laws. Assignee is acquiring
the Interest for its own account and not with a view to resell, transfer or
otherwise dispose thereof.

 

(f)         Assignee is an Affiliate of the General Partner and, knows,
therefore, at least as much about the Partnership as Assignor. Assignee is
experienced in financial transactions such as ownership of the Interest and
understands the business and operations of the Partnership. Assignee has had an
opportunity to ask questions about and seek information about the Partnership
and the Property, and has not relied upon any express or implied representations
or warranties from Assignor with regard to the Interest, the Partnership or the
Property, except as expressly provided herein.

 

(g)        Assignee accepts and adopts all of the terms and conditions of the
Amended Partnership Agreement and accepts all of the conditions of the
Regulatory Agreement (as defined in the Amended Partnership Agreement), and
Assignee agrees to pay when due all capital contributions owed or to be owed to
the Partnership relating to the Interest.

 

4.3       As a material inducement to Assignor entering into this Agreement:

 

(a)        The General Partner represents and warrants to Assignor that (i) the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the General Partner and its
performance of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly authorized by
all requisite corporate proceedings, and (ii) assuming the due and proper
execution and delivery by Assignor, this Agreement is binding upon and
enforceable against the General Partner in accordance with its terms. The
foregoing representations and warranties are true and correct as of the
Effective Date, shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date, and shall
survive the Closing and the withdrawal of Assignor from the Partnership; and

 

(b)        The General Partner covenants to Assignor that on or before Closing,
the Partnership will have obtained all necessary consents and approvals for the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the
consents, to the extent required, of all Governmental Agencies.

 

                        4.4       Except as expressly provided in Section 4, no
Party has made any other representation or warranty (oral or written) concerning
the Interest, the Partnership, the Property or any other matter.
