However, the partnership agreement may provide that the program will be extended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding limited partnership interests.
(3) The program will invest not less than 82% of the capital contributions in the purchase, development construction or improvement of specific properties.

(c) The annual asset based fee shall be 0.75% of the base amount. On capital contributions temporarily held while awaiting purchase, development, construction or improvement of specific properties, the asset based fee shall be 0.5% of those capital contributions.

(d) An election to compensate the sponsor with an asset based fee as provided in this section shall be subject to the following limitations:
(1) The program may reinvest the cash available from sale and refinancing of properties during the 7 years following the date of its effectiveness with the Securities and Exchange Commission. No deduction for organization and offering expenses, acquisition expenses, acquisition fees, and any other related fees and expenses, shall be allowed on such reinvestments. Beginning on a date 7 years after the date of effectiveness with the Securities and Exchange Commission, no reinvestment of the cash available from sale and refinancing of program properties shall be allowed.
(2) The asset based fee may be accrued without interest when program funds are not available for its payment. Any accrued asset based fee may be paid from the next cash available from sale and refinancing of properties. No asset based fee may be paid from program reserves.
(3) A sponsor that is terminated and entitled to compensation from the program as provided in the partnership documents and governed by Section 260.140.111.6 shall be paid the asset based fee through the date of such termination.
(4) Except as modified by this section, all other rules governing real estate programs shall apply where appropriate to programs electing an asset based fee.

The base amount shall be recomputed annually by subtracting from the then fair market value of the program's real properties as determined by independent appraisals plus the working capital reserves allowable under subsection (b), an amount equal to the outstanding debt secured by the program's properties.
