ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On February 18, 1998, LNR Property Corporation ("LNR" or the
"Company"), a Delaware corporation, entered into an agreement (the "Purchase and
Sale Agreement") to purchase from Pacific Harbor Capital, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of PacificCorp, controlling interests in a group of entities as well
as certain direct partnership interests, known as the Affordable Housing Group,
which own 40 multi-family and senior housing properties, with approximately
5,700 residential rental apartments, many of which qualify for low-income tax
credits under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. The properties should
generate approximately $147 million of low-income tax credits through 2009, as
well as generate operating cash flow.

         On May 1, 1998, LNR completed the purchase of certain interests which
own 34 of the properties. The Company anticipates purchasing the remaining
interests representing six properties upon receiving the necessary consents and
approvals. Assuming all of the entities and partnerships interests are
purchased, the aggregate amount of consideration will be approximately $81
million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The source of funds for
the acquisition is the Company's revolving credit agreement. The Company expects
that Affordable Housing Group, as part of LNR, will continue developing,
acquiring and operating residential rental apartments which qualify for
low-income tax credits.

substituted as a general partner or a limited partner, as the case may be, in
each Directly-Owned Partnership, and (v) Buyer will deliver to Seller the
Purchase Price specified in Section 2(b) above, as adjusted by Section 2(e) or
(g). After the Closing, neither Seller nor any of the Affiliates of Seller shall

limitation, any Projects, except for (w) the rights of Seller under this
Agreement, (x) any Projects retained by Seller pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof,

account the withdrawal of any Projects pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof. Without
limiting the foregoing, in the event the Purchase Price is reduced by virtue of

accrued interest to Seller on a monthly basis pursuant to clause (ii), an amount
equal to the interest attributable to such reduction shall be immediately
returned to Buyer.

         (i)      With respect to the period from January 1, 1998, through and
                  including February 15, 1998, the remaining and scheduled
                  aggregate annual Tax Credits which have been allocated to the

                  (whether or not such Projects have been constructed) and which
                  are projected to be available to Buyer on or after February
                  16, 1998 shall be compared (through preparation of a separate

                  1998; such schedule, the "ADJUSTED SCHEDULE") to the amount of
                  such annual Tax Credits set forth on attached Schedule 1.6
                  (the "PRO FORMA AMOUNT OF TAX CREDITS"), and the Purchase
                  Price shall be decreased by an amount equal to the present
                  value (determined from the respective fiscal year ends to
                  February 15, 1998) of the aggregate differences (adding
                  positive differences and subtracting negative differences)
                  between (A) the annual total credits for each year in the Pro
                  Forma Schedule attached as Schedule 1.6 (adjusted, if
                  appropriate to take into account the withdrawal of any
                  Projects pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof) and (B) the annual
                  total credits for each year in the Adjusted Schedule
                  (adjusted, if appropriate to take into account the withdrawal
                  of any Projects pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof and comparing
                  the first fiscal year in the Adjusted Schedule to 1998 in the
                  Pro Forma Schedule, and so on). The present value shall be
                  determined by discounting the difference on an annual basis at
                  a discount rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, from the end
                  of each fiscal year reflected in the Adjusted Schedule to
                  February 16, 1998.

         (ii)     With respect to the period from and including February 16,
                  1998, to but excluding the Closing Date, the Purchase Price
                  shall be increased by an amount equal to the interest which
                  would have been earned on $81,151,063 from and including
                  February 16, 1998, to but excluding the Closing Date at the
                  rate of fourteen percent (14%) per annum, compounded monthly;
                  provided, that in lieu of compounding, Buyer may pay the
                  accrued interest to Seller on a monthly basis, commencing
                  March 16, 1998.

         (iii)    With respect to the period from and including February 16,
                  1998, to but excluding the Closing Date, the Purchase Price
                  shall be decreased by an amount equal to $1 for every $1
                  dollar of such Tax Credits set forth on attached Schedule 1.6
                  which are available to Seller (other than Tax Credits
                  available to Seller with respect to the period from January 1,
                  1998 to and including February 15, 1998).

         (iv)     With respect to the period from and including February 16,
                  1998, to but excluding the Closing Date, the Purchase Price
                  shall be decreased by an amount equal to $0.38 for every $1
                  dollar of Projected Tax Losses set forth on attached Schedule
                  1.6 which are available to Seller (excluding 


                                       8
<PAGE>

                  any such Projected Tax Losses available to Seller with respect
                  to the period from January 1, 1998 to and including February
                  15, 1998).

         (v)      With respect to the period from and including April 1, 1998,
                  to but excluding the Closing Date, the Purchase Price shall be
                  increased by an amount equal to any cash invested by Seller in
                  the Affordable Housing Group during such period (other than
                  investments contemplated under clauses (B) and (C) of Section
                  2(b)).

         (vi)     In addition to the other adjustments contemplated hereunder,
                  for any New Projects which have been approved by Buyer as
                  contemplated under Section 5(c) hereof, the cash portion of
                  the Purchase Price shall be automatically increased to fully
                  reimburse Seller for any out-of-pocket expenditures, including
                  capital contributions, with respect to the New Projects. In
                  addition to the Scheduled Capital Contributions, Buyer shall
                  assume the obligation to make future capital contributions for
                  such New Projects (in an amount equal to the capital
                  contributions approved by Buyer pursuant to Section 5(c)
                  hereof).

         (f) THE DEPOSIT. The Deposit will be held by First Security Bank, as
escrow agent (the "ESCROW AGENT"), until (a) the Closing occurs under this
Agreement, in which event the Deposit will be applied by Seller in partial
payment of the Purchase Price, in accordance with Section 2(b), or (b) the
Closing fails to occur as contemplated by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, in which event the Deposit will be paid to Buyer or retained by
Seller in accordance with Section 10(b)(ii) or 10(b)(iii), as the case may be.
Buyer, Seller and Escrow Agent shall enter into an Escrow Agreement in
substantially the form of attached Exhibit D. Buyer shall be entitled to direct
the investment of the Deposit in securities contemplated by the Escrow
Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for the half of the fees
and expenses of the Escrow Agent.

         (g) SOLICITATION OF CONSENTS AND APPROVALS; WITHDRAWAL OF PROJECTS.
Seller agrees to use its reasonable best efforts (not including the payment of
consent fees unless provided for in the applicable contract, which applicable
contract amounts shall be the responsibility of Seller) in obtaining the Seller
Consents and the Commission Approvals (as set forth in Schedule 4(b)-1). Buyer
agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller at Seller's request (reasonable
cooperation to include arranging for appropriate persons to travel to and meet
with parties from whom Seller Consents and Commission Approvals are to be
requested (the "CONSENTING PARTIES"), and making written undertakings for the
benefit of such Consenting Parties consistent with the Assumed Obligations) in
obtaining the Seller Consents and Commission Approvals. If Seller or Buyer
reasonably determines with respect to one or more Projects (a "POTENTIAL
WITHDRAWN PROJECT") that,

                  (i) the representations and warranties will not be met in all
material respects at Closing; or


                                       9
<PAGE>



                  (ii) the required Seller Consents or Commission Approvals will
not be obtained at or before Closing;

then the Party so determining shall provide the other Party with written notice
of the same at least five (5) business days before the Closing (it being
acknowledged that, unless the parties otherwise agree, if such notice comes
within the period less than five (5) business days before the Closing, the
Closing Date shall be extended to the fifth business day after such notice). In
such event, unless Buyer in its sole discretion elects to waive compliance with
such representations and warranties or Seller Consents or Commission Approvals
with respect to any such Potential Withdrawn Project (in which event no
withdrawal with respect to any Project for which such waiver has been made shall
occur), the relevant shares or partnership interests representing such Project
shall not be sold under this Agreement (such Project, a "WITHDRAWN PROJECT"),
and the Purchase Price will be reduced by the allocated Purchase Price relating
to such Project as set forth on attached Schedule 2(g). Seller agrees to
continue to use its reasonable best efforts and Buyer agrees to reasonably
cooperate (in each case, as contemplated above) during the 180-day period
following Closing to obtain any Seller Consents or Commission Approvals or to
cure representations and warranties with respect to Withdrawn Projects. Buyer
agrees to manage any Withdrawn Project during this period for a market rate
management fee, payable at the end of the period; provided, however, that the
management fee shall only be payable if the Withdrawn Project is not acquired by
Buyer. With respect to the Withdrawn Projects, if Seller Consents and Commission
Approvals are obtained or the misrepresentation is cured within 180 days after
Closing, Buyer will purchase the Withdrawn Project pursuant to the Purchase and
Sale Agreement (the purchase price of such Withdrawn Project to be equal to the
allocated Purchase Price relating to such Project as set forth on attached
Schedule 2(g),as adjusted consistent with the provisions of Section 2(b), with
respect to additional capital contributions after December 31, 1997, and Section
2(e)). In the event Seller sells a Withdrawn Project to a third party at any
time within 12 months after Closing, Seller shall pay to Buyer any net proceeds
received for such sale over the adjusted purchase price allocated for such
project in the Purchase and Sale Agreement (said adjusted purchase price of such
Withdrawn Project to be equal to the allocated Purchase Price relating to such
Project as set forth on attached Schedule 2(g),as adjusted consistent with the
provisions of Section 2(b), with respect to additional capital contributions
after December 31, 1997, and Section 2(e)).

         3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE TRANSACTION

         (a) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER. Seller represents and
warrants to Buyer that the statements contained in this Section 3(a) are correct

                  (i)      ORGANIZATION OF SELLER. Seller is a corporation duly

                           to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement

                           of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance
                           with its terms and conditions, subject, however, to

                           enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
                           equity or at law). Seller need not give any notice
                           to, make any filing with, or obtain any
                           authorization, consent, or approval of any government

                           execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the
                           consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,

                           license, instrument, or other arrangement to which
                           Seller is a party or by which it is bound or to which
                           any of its assets is subject.

                  (iv)     BROKERS' FEES. Parent has retained PaineWebber in
                           connection with the transaction contemplated

                           right or the entry into binding agreements, as the
                           case may be, shall be subject to the approval of
                           Buyer in its sole discretion which decision cannot be
                           unreasonably delayed, it being further acknowledged

                           distinguished from funds provided by Seller) for any

                           payment, discharge or satisfaction, in the Ordinary
                           Course of Business and consistent with past practice,

                  (vii)    enter into any collective bargaining agreements or
                           change accounting practices; or

                  (viii)   amend or terminate in any material respect any
                           material contract or agreement (for purposes hereof,

         6. POST-CLOSING COVENANTS. The Parties agree as follows:

         (a) GENERAL. In case at any time after the Closing any further action
is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties
will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such
further instruments and documents) as the other Party reasonably may request,
all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party (unless the requesting
Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Section 8 below).

         (b) LITIGATION SUPPORT. In the event and for so long as any Party
actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding,
hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, or demand in connection with
(i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact,
situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan,
occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or before
the Closing Date involving any entity in the Affordable Housing Group, the other
Party shall cooperate with the contesting or defending Party and its counsel in
the defense or contest, make available its personnel, and provide such testimony
and access to its books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the
defense or contest, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or
defending Party (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to
indemnification therefor under Section 8 below).

         (c)      EMPLOYEE MATTERS.

                  (i)      Part I of Schedule 6(c) sets forth all of the
                           employees of Seller who have significant
                           responsibilities with respect to the Affordable
                           Housing Group. Buyer shall, no later than 30 days
                           after the execution hereof, deliver to Seller a list
                           of the employees of Seller listed on Part I of
                           Schedule 6(c) that Buyer does not wish to employ
                           after the closing (the "LIST OF NON-HIRED
                           EMPLOYEES"). Seller shall cause all employees listed
                           on the List of Non-Hired Employees, at or before
                           Closing, to be terminated or transferred to other
                           employment of Seller, and shall be responsible for
                           any severance obligations to these employees. Buyer
                           shall, at Closing, offer employment to all employees
                           listed on Part I of Schedule 6(c) who are not
                           included on the List of Non-Hired Employees. In the
                           event any employee listed on Part I of Schedule 6(c)
                           declines to accept such employment with Buyer, Seller
                           shall be responsible for any severance obligations.

                  (ii)     After the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to provide
                           salaries and wages to any employees of Seller who
                           transfer to the employment of Buyer or its Affiliates
                           (the "EMPLOYEES") that are at least as great as the
                           salaries and wages as paid by Seller on the date
                           immediately preceding the Closing Date; provided,
                           however, that (A) any bonus or similar incentive
                           payments shall be based upon Buyer's practices and
                           not the practices of Seller, and (B) any raises in
                           base salary in excess of 10% from the base salary in
                           place at December 31, 1997, shall only be considered
                           in Buyer's 


                                       29

                           sole discretion. Buyer also agrees to provide
                           Employees (under employee plans sponsored by Buyer)
                           the same employee benefits plans as provided to
                           similarly situated employees of Buyer or its
                           Affiliates. Further, Buyer shall (A) waive, or cause
                           the Affordable Housing Group or any Affiliate of
                           Buyer to waive, any preexisting condition limitations
                           applicable to the Employees and any covered
                           dependents under the group medical plan of Buyer or
                           its Affiliates, (B) ensure that Employees are given
                           full credit for all copayments and deductibles
                           incurred by such Employees and covered dependents
                           under the applicable group medical plan of Seller or
                           the Affordable Housing Group for the 1997 and 1998
                           plan year, and (C) cause any Employee Pension Benefit
                           Plan that is intended to be qualified under section
                           401 of the Code to credit Employees for participation
                           and vesting purposes under such plan for their period
                           of employment with Seller and its predecessors to the
                           extent such predecessor employment was recognized by
                           any tax-qualified pension plan of Seller, and credit
                           Employees for their period of employment with Seller
                           for purposes of participation or accruals under any
                           vacation, sick leave or other service-based plan or
                           policy of Buyer or its Affiliates.

                  (iii)    Buyer agrees that, if any employee of Seller who
                           accepts employment with Buyer, any entity in the
                           Affordable Housing Group or Affiliate of Buyer, is
                           terminated from employment by any entity in the
                           Affordable Housing Group, Buyer or any Affiliate of
                           Buyer on or after the Closing Date but on or before

                           partial year of at least six months to at least one
                           full year of service, with a total severance payment
                           of not less than 12 weeks' base pay, and (B)
                           continued health insurance coverage for the employee
                           and his or her dependents under Part 6 of Title I of
                           ERISA (COBRA) at a cost to the employee that is not
                           in excess of the cost of coverage for active
                           employees of Buyer or its Affiliates (including the
                           Directly-Owned Company after the Closing Date) who
                           were formerly employed by Seller or its Affiliates.
                           For purposes of this subparagraph (iii), termination
                           shall be for cause if it is for conduct such as
                           fraud, embezzlement, theft, 


                                       30

                           commission of a felony, or any other criminal act
                           against Buyer or its Affiliates (including the
                           Directly-Owned Company after the Closing Date).

                  (iv)     Seller shall be responsible for payment of the
                           retention bonuses which it has agreed to pay the
                           Employees and for any other payment obligations which
                           it has to the Employees for any periods prior to
                           Closing.

         (d) ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS BY BUYER; AFFORDABLE HOUSING GROUP
OBLIGATIONS. Upon Closing, Buyer shall assume, discharge, and perform, and shall
cause each entity in the Affordable Housing Group to discharge and perform all
obligations and liabilities of any nature whatsoever that are set forth in
attached Schedule 6(d) or otherwise reflected on Section 4(f) of the Disclosure
Schedule (the "ASSUMED OBLIGATIONS"). Except for the rights of indemnification
provided in this Agreement, Buyer hereby waives any claim or cause of action
pursuant to common or statutory law or otherwise against Seller or its
Affiliates regarding the Assumed Obligations. If reasonably possible in
connection with the sale contemplated hereunder, Seller shall attempt to obtain
and Buyer shall cooperate in such efforts, at no cost to the Buyer, a release of
Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Affordable Housing Group) with respect
to any or all of the Assumed Obligations. Buyer shall indemnify, reimburse, hold
harmless and protect Seller against any action by any third party against Seller
and any of its Affiliates arising from the Assumed Obligations. Subject to the
foregoing indemnification, Seller agrees to leave in place for their current
terms, with no fees or similar charges to Buyer (with no extensions) (i) that
certain letter of credit issued by ABN AMRO, N.V. for the benefit of LIH Realty,
Inc., and (ii) that certain completion guaranty for the benefit of the lender in
connection with the Quail Run Project.

         (e) OPERATION OF PROJECTS BY BUYER; MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTIES AFFECTED
BY NON-CONTROLLED EVENTS. From and after Closing, Buyer agrees to operate,
maintain and manage each of the Projects consistent with the requirements of
Section 42 of the Code, the regulations of the Internal Revenue Service related
thereto, the rules and regulations of any Commission applicable to any such
Project, and any extended use or other similar agreement with any Commission, so
that neither Seller nor any Affiliate shall suffer a recapture under Section
42(j) of the Code of any Tax Credits claimed with respect to any Project for any
period prior to Closing (a "TAX CREDIT RECAPTURE") and shall promptly pay to
Seller, on demand, the amount of any Tax Credit Recapture, plus interest and
penalties thereon, caused by the failure of Buyer to so operate, maintain and
manage such Projects; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be responsible to
Seller to the extent any Tax Credit Recapture arose solely and directly from
actions of Seller, either directly or indirectly, prior to Closing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Tax Credit Recapture arises or
threatens to arise solely and directly from a "Non-controlled Event" (as defined
below) the obligations of Buyer shall be as follows:

                  (i)      Promptly after Buyer has knowledge of a
                           Non-controlled Event or the likelihood that a
                           Non-controlled Event will occur, Buyer shall notify
                           Seller in writing of the facts giving rise to such
                           event or the likelihood of such event;


                                       31
<PAGE>



                  (ii)     Seller, in consultation with Buyer, shall develop a
                           budget of the projected costs (the "RECAPTURE
                           AVOIDANCE COSTS") to cure or avoid the effect of such
                           "Non-controlled Event" so that such Tax Credit
                           Recapture will not occur or such that as little as
                           possible of such Tax Credit Recapture will occur;

                  (iii)    If Seller determines in its sole discretion that the
                           Recapture Avoidance Costs should be spent to cure or
                           avoid such Non-controlled Event as contemplated in
                           clause (ii), then Seller and Buyer shall be
                           responsible to loan to the entity owning the Project
                           (the "PROJECT OWNER") their "Recapture Avoidance
                           Share" (as defined below) of the Recapture Avoidance
                           Costs in the amounts and at the times contemplated in
                           the budget (which loans shall be made in cash but can
                           be made by payments directly to the person or entity
                           providing services or materials to the Project
                           Owner); provided, however, that, if Buyer determines
                           that the scheduled Recapture Avoidance Costs are not
                           reasonably sufficient to cure or avoid such
                           Non-controlled Event, then Buyer may notify Seller of
                           the higher amount of the Recapture Avoidance Costs
                           reasonably required to cure or avoid such
                           Non-controlled Event and such higher amount shall be
                           the amount of the Recapture Avoidance Costs for
                           purposes of this section;

                  (iv)     If Seller fails to loan to the Project Owner Seller's
                           Recapture Avoidance Share of the Recapture Avoidance
                           Costs, and such failure continues for three (3)
                           business days after written notice thereof from
                           Buyer, then Buyer shall not be obligated to make any
                           loan to such Project Owner and Buyer shall have no
                           liability to Seller with respect to such Tax Credit
                           Recapture;

                  (v)      If Buyer fails to loan to the Project Owner Buyer's
                           Recapture Avoidance Share of the Recapture Avoidance
                           Costs, and such failure continues for three (3)
                           business days after written notice thereof from
                           Seller, then Seller shall not be obligated to make
                           any loan to such Project Owner and Buyer shall
                           immediately pay to Seller the full amount of such Tax
                           Credit Recapture; and

                  (vi)     Any loan made pursuant to this Section shall (A)
                           mature at the end of the "compliance period" (as such
                           term is defined in Code Section 42) applicable to
                           such Project (without regard to any extended use
                           periods; such period, the "COMPLIANCE PERIOD"), (B)
                           be payable from available net cash flow, and (C) bear
                           interest at the lowest applicable federal rate.

For purposes hereof, a "NON-CONTROLLED EVENT" shall mean an event which is
outside the control of Buyer, either directly or through any of its Affiliates
(for purposes of this Section 6(e), except as specifically provided below,
"Affiliates" of Buyer shall include any transferee of Buyer or its Affiliates of
any direct or indirect interest in the Project); provided, however, that an
event 


                                       32
<PAGE>

shall be deemed to have been in the control of Buyer and its Affiliates if
(1) the event was caused by the negligence, mismanagement or misconduct of the
Buyer, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective agents or employees, (2)
the event could have been avoided by the maintenance of insurance for any
Project in amounts and covering risks normally carried by businesses such as the
Affordable Housing Group and for projects such as the Projects, regardless of
whether or not there were sufficient cash flow from the operation of the
Project, (3) the event arose because of the failure of Buyer to perform any of
the Assumed Obligations which were originally the recourse obligations of Seller
or PacifiCorp Financial Services, Inc., or (4) the event could have been avoided
by the application of cash flow available to Seller at the time of the event
from the Projects (including Projects other than the affected Project), directly
or indirectly through its Affiliates (excluding transferees), it being
acknowledged that cash flow which is required to be distributed or paid to any
Person who is not an Affiliate (excluding from such definition, transferees) and
any cash flow from a Project other than an affected Project which is not
permitted to be distributed by the entity owning the Project to Seller or its
other Affiliates for use in the affected Project shall not be considered
available. For purposes hereof, "RECAPTURE AVOIDANCE SHARE" shall be the
relative percentage interest of Buyer and Seller in the adverse consequences
which would arise from such Non-controlled Event, computed as follows: (1) the
Seller's share of the adverse consequences shall be equal to the amount Tax
Credit Recapture which it would suffer from such event, including any penalties
and interest thereon, and (2) the Buyer's share of the adverse consequences
shall be equal to the sum of (A) the amount tax credit recapture which it or its
Affiliates would suffer from such event, including any penalties and interest
thereon, (B) the present value of any Tax Credits (determined by discounting at
a rate of 10% per annum from the projected date of such availability as set
forth on Schedule 1.6 attached hereto) which would have been available to Buyer
or its Affiliates after such date, assuming the Non-controlled Event had not
occurred, and (C) the then current fair market value (determined without regard
to the Tax Credits), if positive, of the Project, assuming the Recapture
Avoidance Costs have been spent, as determined by an independent third party
appraisal. In the event that the Recapture Avoidance Share of Seller of the
Recapture Avoidance Costs as to any Project is $250,000 or more, Seller may
demand that the Project be managed by an independent nationally recognized
management company experienced in tax credit projects, selected by Seller. In
such event, the management of such property shall be transferred as soon as
possible (in any event, within sixty (60) calendar days after demand).

         (f) USE OF NAME. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 120
days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall remove the words "PacifiCorp" or
"Pacific Harbor" or "PHC" or any words or expressions similar thereto from the
Projects. As soon as practicable, but in any event within 7 days after the
Closing Date, Buyer shall (i) change the name of each entity in the Affordable
Housing Group to remove such words and (ii) cease using any of such words for
all purposes including, without limitation, as a corporate, partnership, or
assumed name.

         (g) DELIVERY AND RETENTION OF RECORDS. On or within 15 days after the
Closing Date, Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer all files,
records, information, and data relating to the Affordable Housing Group, each
entity therein and the Projects that are in the 


                                       33
<PAGE>

possession or control of Seller (together with all of Seller's contractual
rights to request other such files, records, information, and data from any
third party), including without limitation, the original corporate minute and
stock record books and organizational documents, as the case may be, for each
entity in the Affordable Housing Group (the "RECORDS"). Seller are entitled to
keep copies of all Records and any portion of thereof. Buyer agrees to hold the
Records and not to destroy or dispose of any thereof for ten years from the
Closing Date or such longer time as may be required by law or regulation
(including, without limitation, any requirements under Section 42 of the Code or
the regulations adopted thereunder, or any requirements of any Commission with
respect to such Records). In the event that Buyer desires to destroy or dispose
of such Records, it will first offer in writing at least 60 days before such
destruction or disposition to surrender them to Seller and if Seller does not
accept such offer within 20 days after receipt of such offer, Buyer may take
such action. Buyer agrees that, after the Closing Date, it shall afford Seller,
its accountants, and counsel, during normal business hours, upon reasonable
request, at any time, full access to the Records and to Buyer's employees to the
extent that such access may be requested for any legitimate purpose at no cost
to Seller (other than for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that such access will not be construed to require the disclosure of Records that
would cause the waiver of any attorney-client, work product or like privilege;
provided, further, that in the event of any litigation nothing herein shall
limit either Party's rights of discovery under applicable law. Buyer shall have
the same rights, and Seller shall have the same obligations, as are set forth in
this Section with respect to any copies of the Records of Seller pertaining to
the Records that are retained by Seller, with the exception of tax Returns
retained by Seller, provided that such access will not be construed to require
the disclosure of Records that would cause the waiver of any attorney-client,
work product, or like privilege. Seller shall maintain the Records as
confidential except for (i) information which is or becomes available to the
public without disclosure by Seller in breach hereof, (ii) disclosure to
employees and agents of Seller, (iii) disclosure which is required by law or any
regulatory or administrative proceeding (including, without limitation,
disclosures required to be made to the Internal Revenue Service), (iv)
disclosure in any legal proceedings involving Buyer and Seller with respect to
this Agreement.

         (h) CONSTRUCTION LOANS. Seller will provide and/or carry, as the case
may be, construction financing for the Projects listed on attached Schedule 6(h)
in the aggregate amount set forth for such Project as reflected in the "Maximum
Amount" column (each, a "CONSTRUCTION LOAN"; collectively referred to as
"CONSTRUCTION LOANS"). Construction Loans shall (i) be secured by a first
priority lien on the Project to which the Construction Loan relates, (ii) bear
interest at the prime rate, (iii) mature at the earlier of twenty-four (24)
months after the first advance (the date of such advance for each such Project
other than Cascade Crossing to be set at July 1, 1997) pursuant to such
Construction Loan or 6 months after the date the Project is placed in service,
(iv) be recourse to Buyer, and (v) the loan documentation shall be in
substantially the form of that certain Construction Loan Agreement, dated as of
August 20, 1997, between Emerald Housing Limited Partnership, an Oregon limited
partnership, as borrower, and Seller, as lender, and the "Loan Documents"
contemplated thereunder. Upon the receipt by Cascade Crossing, LLC of a firm
commitment from a commercial bank to provide a construction loan on terms
approved by Buyer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld 


                                       34
<PAGE>

or delayed, and which shall be granted if the terms are commercially reasonable
for loans of this type, including recourse to Buyer (the "CASCADE LOAN
COMMITMENT"), the obligation of Seller to provide a Construction Loan for the
Cascade Project shall be reduced by the amount of the Cascade Loan Commitment.

         (i) HASTINGS LOAN. The Parties acknowledge that Seller has provided a
$7,000,000 secured loan (the "HASTINGS LOAN") to PHC Hastings Limited, Inc.
("PHC HASTINGS"), which loan is nonrecourse, bears interest at 8.5% per annum,
does not amortize and is due in 9 months from the Closing. Seller shall consult
with Buyer, but Seller shall control and Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in
(A) the creation of a new partnership or limited liability company (the
"HASTINGS PARTNERSHIP"), to hold the Project owned by PHC Hastings ("HASTINGS
PARK"), with Nehemiah Progressive Housing Development Corporation, Inc., or
another non-profit entity (the "NON-PROFIT Partner") selected by Seller to act
as the managing general partner or member, as the case may be, with the
organizational document to contain provisions reflecting control by the
Non-Profit Partner sufficient to take advantage of the California property tax
exemption (such provisions expected to be similar to those contained in the
partnership agreement for Santa Rosa Housing Partners Limited Partnership); (B)
the transfer by PHC Hastings of Hastings Park to the Hastings Partnership, and
(C) the refinancing of the Hastings Loan with permanent financing (the "HASTINGS
PERMANENT FINANCING") which shall have a minimum of a 10-year term and a 25-year
amortization period and shall be nonrecourse to the Hastings Partnership and all
of its partners or members and shall have such other terms approved by Buyer,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which shall be
granted if the terms are commercially reasonable for loans of this type. Seller
shall be permitted to maximize the amount of the Hastings Permanent Financing
and sixty percent (60%) of any amount in excess of the amounts owing under the
Hastings Loan shall be retained by Seller as a reimbursement with respect to
excess equity invested by Seller in PHC Hastings prior to Closing. In the event
the Hastings Permanent Financing is less than the amount owing under the
Hastings Loan, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the shortfall. Seller shall use
its reasonable best efforts to complete the tasks set forth in clauses (A) and
(B) prior to Closing. In the event that tasks set forth in clauses (A) and (B)
are not satisfied prior to Closing, Seller shall do one or both of the following
(the choice to be in Seller's sole discretion): (i) extend the due date of the
Hastings Loan for an additional 12 months, or (ii) at any time prior to the
expiration of the Hastings Loan, cause the Hastings Permanent Financing to be
closed; provided that in the event the Hastings Permanent Financing occurs prior
satisfaction of the tasks set forth in clauses (A) and (B), Buyer shall not be
obligated to reimburse Seller for any shortfall.

         (j) SPACE. After Closing, Seller will permit Buyer to occupy its
current space until April 30, 1998, on market rate terms.

         (k) COOPERATION ON AUDIT. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer, at
Buyer's expense, with reasonable requests of Buyer in connection with the
preparation by Buyer of audited financial statements of the Affordable Housing
Group for prior periods (the "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"). In connection with the
foregoing, Seller agrees, at Buyer's expense, to make available its independent
auditors. Buyer shall indemnify, reimburse, hold harmless and protect 


                                       35
<PAGE>

Seller against any action by any third party against Seller and any of its
Affiliates arising from the use by Buyer of such Financial Statements.

         (l) INDEMNIFICATION RELATING TO FENIX REDEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP, LTD.
In the event that the investment of Fenix Redevelopment Partnership, Ltd. in the
Fenix Project is recharacterized by the Internal Revenue Service to be other
than an investment in property, the investment of Buyer in Fenix Redevelopment
Partnership, Ltd. in the Fenix Project is recharacterized by the Internal
Revenue Service as other than a partnership interest, or the Internal Revenue
Service reallocates Tax Credits or losses in a manner inconsistent with the
allocations set forth in the partnership agreement for Fenix Redevelopment
Partnership, Ltd., and any such recharacterization or reallocation arises solely
and directly because of the presence of the Early Put and Deferred Call Option,
dated as of December 8, 1989, the Ground Call Option, dated as of December 8,
1989, the Improvements Call Option, dated as of December 8, 1989, or the Term
Put Option, dated as of December 8, 1989, or the special allocation of losses
other than depreciation to the general partner, then Seller shall indemnify
Buyer from and against any damages caused by such recharacterization or
reallocation.

                  (x)      all actions to be taken by Seller in connection with
                           consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
                           and all certificates, opinions, instruments, and
                           other documents required to effect the transactions
                           contemplated hereby will be reasonably satisfactory
                           in form and substance to Buyer.

Buyer may waive any condition specified in this Section 7(a) if it executes a
writing so stating at or before the Closing.

         (b) CONDITIONS TO OBLIGATION OF SELLER. The obligation of Seller to
consummate the transactions to be performed by it in connection with the Closing
is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

                  (i)      the representations and warranties set forth in
                           Section 3(b) above shall be true and correct in all
                           material respects at and as of the Closing Date;

                           by this Agreement;

                  (iv)     Buyer shall have delivered to Seller a certificate to
                           the effect that each of the conditions specified
                           above in subsections 7(b)(i)-(iii) is satisfied in

<PAGE>



                  (vi)     all actions to be taken by Buyer in connection with
                           consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
                           and all certificates, opinions, instruments, and
                           other documents required to effect the transactions
                           contemplated hereby will be reasonably satisfactory
                           in form and substance to Seller.

Seller may waive any condition specified in this Section 7(b) if it executes a

         8. REMEDIES FOR BREACHES OF THIS AGREEMENT

         (a) SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CERTAIN COVENANTS. The
representations and warranties of Seller contained in subsections (p) and (q) of
Section 4 (other than clause (i) of each such subsection) shall not survive the
Closing. All of the other representations and warranties of Seller contained in
Sections 3 and 4 above shall survive the Closing hereunder (unless Buyer knew
and did not inform Seller of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty at the
time of Closing) and continue in full force and effect for a period of THREE
YEARS after the Closing Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) the representations of
Seller contained in Section 4(i) shall survive the Closing hereunder (unless
Buyer knew and did not inform Seller of any misrepresentation or breach of
warranty at the time of Closing) and continue in full force and effect for a
period of FIVE YEARS after the Closing Date and (ii) the representations of
Seller contained in clauses (v) or (vi) of Section 3(a), Section 4(d), Section
4(e) or 4(m) hereof, any claim with respect to fraud, and any indemnification
for which Seller would otherwise be liable hereunder to the extent it arises
from a "Special Third Party Claim" shall survive Closing hereunder (unless Buyer
knew and did not inform Seller of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty at
the time of Closing) and continue until the applicable statute of limitations
has run. For purposes hereof, "SPECIAL THIRD PARTY CLAIM" means a claim by a
third-party against Buyer to the extent it arises from a breach by Seller of a
fiduciary obligation of Seller to such third-party or a violation by Seller of
applicable state or federal securities laws, in each case prior to the Closing.
The representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Section 3 above shall
survive the Closing (unless Seller knew and did not inform Buyer of any
misrepresentation or breach of warranty at the time of Closing) and continue in
full force for a period of THREE YEARS after the Closing Date. The covenants
contained in Section 6 shall survive the Closing indefinitely.

         (b)      INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS FOR BENEFIT OF BUYER.

                  (i)      In the event Seller breaches any of its
                           representations, warranties, and covenants contained
                           herein (other than the covenants in Section 2(a)
                           above), and, if there is an applicable survival
                           period pursuant to Section 8(a) above, provided that
                           Buyer makes a written claim for indemnification
                           against Seller pursuant to Section 11(f) below within
                           such survival period, then Seller agrees to indemnify
                           Buyer from and against any damages to the extent that
                           they are caused proximately by the breach and
                           suffered by 


                                       38
<PAGE>

                           Buyer through and after the date of the claim for
                           indemnification; PROVIDED, however, that Seller shall
                           not have any obligation to indemnify Buyer from and
                           against any such damages caused by the breach of any
                           representation or warranty of Seller contained in
                           Section 4 above (A) until Buyer has suffered damages
                           by reason of all such breaches in excess of a
                           $1,000,000 aggregate deductible (after which point
                           Seller will be obligated only to indemnify Buyer from
                           and against further such damages) or thereafter (B)
                           to the extent the damages Buyer has suffered by
                           reason of all such breaches exceeds a 75% of the
                           Purchase Price aggregate ceiling (after which point
                           Seller will have no obligation to indemnify Buyer
                           from and against further such damages); PROVIDED,
                           FURTHER, that the foregoing ceiling shall not apply
                           to a breach of the representations of Seller
                           contained in clauses (v) or (vi) of Section 3(a),
                           Section 4(d), Section 4(e) or 4(m) hereof, any claim
                           with respect to fraud or as to any indemnification
                           for which Seller would otherwise be liable hereunder
                           to the extent it arises from a Special Third Party
                           Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall
                           have no right against Seller with respect to a breach
                           of a representation or warranty if, at the time of
                           Closing, Buyer knew and did not inform Seller of the
                           misrepresentation or breach of warranty. To the
                           extent Seller has indemnified Buyer with respect to
                           any matter as to which Buyer has a separate
                           indemnification claim against a third party, Buyer
                           shall assign its rights to make such claim, without
                           recourse, to Seller.

                  (ii)     In the event Seller breaches any of its covenants in
                           Section 2(a) above, or any of its representations and
                           warranties contained in clauses (v) or (vi) of
                           Section 3(a) above, or any indemnification arises for
                           which Seller would otherwise be liable hereunder to
                           the extent it arises from a Special Third Party
                           Claim, and, if there is an applicable survival period
                           pursuant to Section 8(a) above, provided that Buyer
                           makes a written claim for indemnification against
                           Seller pursuant to Section 11(f) below within such
                           survival period, then Seller agree to indemnify Buyer
                           from and against the entirety of any damages caused
                           proximately by the breach and suffered by Buyer
                           through and after the date of the claim for
                           indemnification.

         (c) INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS FOR BENEFIT OF SELLER. In the event
Buyer breaches any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained
herein, and, if there is an applicable survival period pursuant to Section 8(a)
above, provided that Seller make a written claim for indemnification against
Buyer pursuant to Section 11(f) below within such survival period, then Buyer
agrees to indemnify Seller from and against the entirety of any damages caused
proximately by the breach and suffered by Seller through and after the date of
the claim for indemnification (but EXCLUDING any damages Seller shall suffer
after the end of any applicable survival period).

         (d) MATTERS INVOLVING THIRD PARTIES.

                  (i)      If any third party shall notify any Party (the
                           "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") with respect to any matter (a
                           "THIRD PARTY CLAIM") that may give rise to a claim
                           for indemnification against any other Party (the
                           "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") under this Section 8, then the
                           Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event
                           within five business days after receiving notice of
                           the Third Party Claim) notify the Indemnifying Party
                           thereof in writing.

                  (ii)     The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume
                           and thereafter conduct the defense of the Third Party
                           Claim, at its expense, with counsel of its choice
                           reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party;
                           PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Indemnifying Party will
                           not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter
                           into any settlement with respect to the Third Party
                           Claim without the prior written consent of the
                           Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably)
                           unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves
                           only the payment of money damages and does not impose
                           an injunction or other equitable relief upon the
                           Indemnified Party.

                  (iii)    Unless and until the Indemnifying Party assumes the
                           defense of the Third Party Claim as provided in
                           subsection 8(d)(ii) above, however, the Indemnified
                           Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any
                           manner it reasonably may deem appropriate.

                  (iv)     In no event will the Indemnified Party consent to the
                           entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
                           with respect to the Third Party Claim without the
                           prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party which
                           consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
                           delayed.

         9. TAX MATTERS

         (a) INCOME TAX SHARING AGREEMENTS. Any Income Tax sharing agreement
between Seller or PacifiCorp or any Affiliate of PacifiCorp, and any entity in
the Affordable Housing Group, is terminated as of the Closing Date (or as of the
earlier date specified in clause (k) hereof, if applicable) and will have no
further effect for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year, or
a past year).

         (b) RETURNS FOR PERIODS THROUGH THE CLOSING DATE. Seller will cause
PacifiCorp to include the income of the Affordable Housing Group (including any
deferred income triggered into income by Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-13 and
Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-14 and any excess loss accounts taken into income
under Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-19) on the PacifiCorp consolidated federal
Income Tax Returns for all periods through the Closing Date (or as of the
earlier date specified in clause (k) hereof, if applicable) and pay any federal
Income Taxes attributable to such income. The Affordable Housing Group will
furnish Income Tax information 


                                       40
<PAGE>

to PacifiCorp for inclusion in PacifiCorp's federal consolidated Income Tax
Return for the period that ends on and includes the Closing Date (or as of the
earlier date specified in clause (k) hereof, if applicable) in accordance with
the Affordable Housing Group's past custom and practice. Seller will cause
PacifiCorp to take no position on such returns, including any amended returns,
that relate to the Affordable Housing Group that would adversely affect the
Affordable Housing Group after the Closing Date (or as of the earlier date
specified in clause (k) hereof, if applicable) unless such position would be
reasonable in the case of a Person that owned the Affordable Housing Group both
before and after the Closing Date (or as of the earlier date specified in clause
(k) hereof, if applicable). The income, losses and tax benefits (including,
without limitation, the Tax Credits) of the Affordable Housing Group will be
apportioned to the period up to and including the Closing Date and the period
after the Closing Date (or, in each case, as of the earlier date specified in
clause (k) hereof, if applicable) by closing the books of the Affordable Housing
Group as of the end of the Closing Date (or as of the earlier date specified in
clause (k) hereof, if applicable). Buyer will prepare any Income Tax Returns and
other Tax Returns required to be prepared for periods including, but not ending
on, the Closing Date (or as of the earlier date specified in clause (k) hereof,
if applicable).

         (c) AUDITS. PacifiCorp will keep Buyer and its counsel informed of the
status of any audits of PacifiCorp consolidated federal Income Tax Returns to
the extent that such returns relate to the Affordable Housing Group. PacifiCorp
will not settle any such audit in a manner that would adversely affect the
Affordable Housing Group after the Closing Date unless such settlement would be
reasonable in the case of a Person that owned the Affordable Housing Group both
before and after the Closing Date.

         (d) CARRYBACKS. Buyer or the Affiliated Group of which Buyer is a
member agrees to waive carrybacks to the greatest extent possible pursuant to
Section 172(b)(3) of the Code or otherwise.

         (e) RETENTION OF CARRYOVERS. Seller will cause PacifiCorp not to elect
to retain any net operating loss carryovers or capital loss carryovers of any
entities in the Affordable Housing Group under Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-20(g).

         (f) INDEMNIFICATION FOR POST-CLOSING TRANSACTIONS. Buyer agrees to
indemnify Seller and PacifiCorp for any additional tax owed by Seller or
PacifiCorp (including tax owed by Seller due to this indemnification payment)
resulting from any transaction not in the Ordinary Course of Business occurring
on the Closing Date after Buyer's purchase of the Directly-Owned Company Shares
and the Directly-Owned Partnership Interests.

         (g) POST-CLOSING TRANSACTIONS NOT IN THE ORDINARY COURSE. Buyer and
Seller agree to report all transactions not in the Ordinary Course of Business
occurring on the Closing Date after Buyer's purchase of the Directly-Owned
Company Shares and the Directly-Owned Partnership Interests on Buyer's federal
Income Tax Return to the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. Section
1.1502-76(b)(1)(B).


                                       41
<PAGE>



         (h) ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE. On or before March 1, 1998, Buyer
shall deliver to Seller a schedule setting forth a reasonable estimate of the
allocation of the Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Affordable Housing
Group (plus other relevant items) to the assets of the entities in the
Affordable Housing Group for all purposes (including Income Tax and financial
accounting purposes), which shall be subject to the approval of Seller, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. As soon as possible after
Closing, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a schedule setting forth a
final allocation of the Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Affordable
Housing Group (plus other relevant items) to the assets of the entities in the
Affordable Housing Group which shall be subject to the approval of Seller, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Buyer, Seller, the entities
in the Affordable Housing Group and PacifiCorp will file all Income Tax Returns
(including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a
manner consistent with such allocation.

         (i) SECTION 338(H)(10) ELECTION. At Buyer's option, Seller will join,
and will cause the Affiliated Group to join, with Buyer in making an election
under ss.338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding elections under state,
local, or foreign Tax law) (collectively a "SS.338(H)(10) ELECTION") with
respect to the purchase and sale of the stock of any corporations included in
the Affordable Housing Group hereunder; provided, however, that if Buyer chooses
to make a ss.338(h)(10) Election, then Buyer shall pay to Seller an additional
amount of Purchase Price (the "SS.338(H)(10) CONSIDERATION") equal to the total
Tax cost to Seller and the Affiliated Group of the ss.338(h)(10) Election,
including the Tax effect of receipt of the ss.338(h)(10) Consideration, so that
the net after-Tax position of Sellers and the Affiliated Group is the same after
the ss.338(h)(10) Election as it would have been had the ss.338(h)(10) Election
not been made. The amount of the ss.338(h)(10) Consideration shall be determined
by Seller in good faith. Seller shall allow Buyer an opportunity to review
Seller's computation of the ss.338(h)(10) Consideration and shall consider in
good faith any comments that Buyer may provide with respect to that computation.
Seller and the Affiliated Group shall not be required to join in the
ss.338(h)(10) Election unless and until the ss.338(h)(10) Consideration has been
paid or arrangements acceptable to Seller has been made for such payment.

         (j) NOTICE OF INCOME TAX PROCEEDINGS; CONTEST PROCEDURE. Buyer or
Seller, as the case may be (the "PROCEEDING PARTY") shall promptly (in any
event, within ten (10) business days) notify the other (the "PARTICIPATING
PARTY") if Proceeding Party receives a written or proposed revenue agent's
report, a "30-day letter," a notice of a partnership's audit by adjustment or a
notice of deficiency from the Internal Revenue Service relating to an Affordable
Housing Group Claim. All information document requests and responses to the
foregoing shall be reviewed and approved by the Participating Party, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For purposes hereof, an
"AFFORDABLE HOUSING GROUP CLAIM" shall mean an action by the Internal Revenue
Service described in the preceding sentence in which the Internal Revenue
Service proposes an adjustment to a Proceeding Party's federal income taxes or a
federal partnership return in which an adverse determination could, directly or
indirectly, cause Tax Credits or losses to not be available or allowable to a
Participating Party or cause a Participating Party to lose the right to claim,
or to suffer a disallowance, elimination, reduction, recapture or
disqualification of, all or any portion of, the Tax Credits or losses, in each
case to 


                                       42
<PAGE>

the extent such adjustments relate to the Affordable Housing Group either before
or after Closing. If a Participating Party promptly requests the Proceeding
Party to do so, the Proceeding Party shall contest in good faith, at the expense
of both the Participating Party and the Proceeding Party (based upon such
party's "CONTEST EXPENSE SHARE" (as defined below)), the proposed adjustment,
and shall consider in good faith any suggestion made by the Participating Party
as to the method of pursuing such contest; provided, however, that the
Proceeding Party shall not be obligated to contest such adjustment unless (i)
the Participating Party provides a written undertaking to the Proceeding Party
to cover its Contest Expense Share of the contest; (ii) Tax Counsel for the
Proceeding Party is of the opinion that there is a reasonable basis for
contesting the matter in question; and (iii) the aggregate amount of the
proposed adjustment (including the collateral effect in future or prior tax
years) as to the Participating Party is at least $100,000. The Proceeding Party
shall discuss with the Participating Party the nature of the actions to be taken
to contest such proposed adjustment, but shall have the sole discretion, acting
in good faith, to determine the nature of such action. The Proceeding Party
shall keep the Participating Party informed of the developments in any
proceeding and shall consult with and reasonably consider any suggestions of the
Participating Party; provided, however, that, except for an "Excepted Claim" (as
defined below), the Proceeding Party shall have full control over any contest.
In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, except for an "Excepted
Claim," the Participating Party shall have no right to participate or be present
in any meetings with the Internal Revenue Service or any hearings in connection
with the proceeding. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the Proceeding Party shall not be obligated to continue any contest if the
Participating Party fails to fund on demand any expenses of the contest in an
amount equal to its Contest Expense Share and such failure continues for fifteen
(15) days after written notice of such demand. The Proceeding Party may, after
consulting in good faith with Tax Counsel for the Participating Party, decline

enter into a settlement with respect to any such Affordable Housing Group Claim
at any time in the Proceeding Party's sole discretion; provided that, the
Proceeding Party (i) shall have either (A) diligently contested such Claim at

declining to contest, terminating the contest or entering into such settlement,
such Proceeding Party has taken into account the relative tax and financial
interests of both the Proceeding Party and the Participating Party, and (iii)
the Proceeding Party shall have delivered to the Participating Party an opinion
of the Proceeding Party's Tax Counsel to the effect that the legal and factual
arguments in favor of such Affordable Housing Group Claim outweigh the legal and
factual arguments in opposition to such Affordable Housing Group Claim. The
Proceeding Party may, at its sole option, forego any and all administrative
appeals, proceedings, hearings and conference with the Internal Revenue Service
in respect of an Affordable Housing Group Claim

as provided below:

                  (i)      Buyer and Seller may terminate this Agreement by
                           mutual written consent at any time before the

                  (ii)     Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving written

                           in the event Seller has breached any material
                           representation, warranty, or covenant contained in
                           this Agreement (other than the representations and
                           warranties in Section 4 above) in any material
                           respect, Buyer has notified Seller of the breach, and
                           the breach has continued without cure for a period of
                           10 days after the notice of breach or (B) if the
                           Closing shall not have occurred on or before June 30,
                           1998, by reason of the failure of any condition
                           precedent under Section 7(a) hereof (unless the
                           failure results primarily from Buyer itself breaching
                           any representation, warranty, or covenant contained
                           in this Agreement), except that termination of this
                           Agreement for failure to receive all Seller Consents
                           under Section 7(a)(vii) shall be made solely under
                           clause (iv) of this Section 10(a); and

                  (iii)    Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written
                           notice to Buyer at any time before the Closing (A) in
                           the event Buyer has breached any material
                           representation, warranty, or covenant contained in
                           this Agreement in any material respect, Seller has
                           notified Buyer of the breach, and the breach has
                           continued without cure for a period of 10 days after
                           the notice of breach or (B) if the Closing shall not
                           have occurred on or before June 30, 1998, by reason
                           of the failure of any condition precedent under
                           Section 7(b) hereof (unless the failure results
                           primarily from Seller breaching any of its
                           representations, warranties, or covenants contained
                           in this Agreement).

                  (iv)     By either Seller or Buyer, if, pursuant to Section
                           2(g), it is clear that eight (8) or more Projects
                           will never be acquired by Buyer pursuant to this
                           Agreement.

         (b) EFFECT OF TERMINATION.

                  (i)      TERMINATION UNDER SECTION 10(A)(I) OR (IV). If the
                           Parties terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
                           10(a)(i) or (iv) above, the Deposit shall be 


                                       45
<PAGE>

                           returned to Buyer and all rights and obligations of
                           the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any
                           liability of any Party to any other Party (except for
                           any liability of any Party then in breach); PROVIDED,
                           HOWEVER, that the confidentiality provisions
                           contained in the Confidentiality Agreement shall
                           survive termination.

                  (ii)     BUYER'S DEFAULT; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. In the event
                           Seller terminates this Agreement under Section
                           10(a)(iii) of this Agreement, unless it is terminated
                           solely because of a breach by Buyer of a
                           representation or warranty of which Buyer was not
                           actually aware was inaccurate when made, the Deposit
                           shall be retained by Seller as full, complete,
                           liquidated damages ("Liquidated Damages"), as
                           provided below. If Seller terminates this Agreement
                           under Section 10(a)(iii) of this Agreement solely
                           because of a breach by Buyer of a representation or
                           warranty of which Buyer was not actually aware was
                           inaccurate when made, Seller shall only retain that
                           portion of the Deposit necessary to reimburse its
                           reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with
                           the transactions contemplated hereby and the
                           remaining amount of the Deposit, if any, shall be
                           returned to Buyer.

                           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
                           Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and Seller agree
                           that, in the event that Buyer breaches a
                           representation or warranty (except for inaccuracies
                           of which Buyer was not aware, as set forth above) or
                           covenant contained herein or otherwise fails to
                           perform its obligations under this Agreement prior to
                           the closing hereunder, it would be impracticable or
                           extremely difficult to fix or determine Seller's
                           actual damages. Therefore, Buyer and Seller each
                           agree that the amount of the liquidated damages has
                           been agreed upon as liquidated damages after
                           negotiation as the parties' reasonable estimate of
                           Seller's damages and as Seller's exclusive remedy
                           against Buyer in the event of the occurrence of any
                           event described in the first sentence of this Section
                           (ii). Buyer and Seller each acknowledge that the
                           payment of such liquidated damages is not intended as
                           a forfeiture or penalty.

                           If Buyer defaults in any material respect in its
                           obligations hereunder or breaches a material
                           representation or material warranty or covenant
                           herein or otherwise fails to perform any of its
                           obligations under this Agreement after the Closing,
                           Seller shall be entitled to assert all claims and to
                           exercise all remedies available to it at law or in
                           equity; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Seller shall have no
                           right to consequential damages.

                  (iii)    SELLER'S DEFAULT. In the event Buyer terminates the
                           Agreement under Section 10(a)(ii) of this Agreement
                           or because Seller otherwise fails to perform any of
                           its obligations under this Agreement before the
                           Closing, then the Deposit, if any, shall be returned
                           to Buyer and Buyer shall be 


                                       46
<PAGE>

                           entitled to recover (A) its reasonable out-of-pocket
                           expenses in connection with the transactions
                           contemplated hereby and (B) unless the termination
                           has occurred solely because of a breach by Seller of
                           a representation or warranty of which Seller was not
                           aware was inaccurate when made, for a period of one
                           year following the termination, an amount equal to
                           the excess of (1) any amount received by Seller from
                           any future sale of a Project or an interest in any
                           Project during such year, over (2) the amount Buyer
                           would have paid for such Project or interest
                           hereunder if Buyer had purchased such Project or
                           interest on the date such future sale referred to in
                           clause (1) occurs. Notwithstanding anything contained
                           herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be entitled to no
                           other monetary damages. If such default or such
                           breach or such failure occurs after the Closing,
                           Buyer shall be entitled to assert all claims and to
                           exercise all remedies available to it at law or in
                           equity with respect to any default, breach or failure
                           by Seller, subject to Section 8 hereof; PROVIDED,
                           HOWEVER, that Buyer shall have no right to
                           consequential damages. In no event shall Buyer have
                           the right to offset amounts due to Seller under any
                           contract or agreement between Seller and Buyer or any
                           Affiliate of Buyer on account of default by Seller
                           hereunder.

                  (iv)     Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the
                           contrary, in no event shall Seller have any liability
                           hereunder or at law or in equity for the payment of
                           money damages if the amount of such payment, when
                           added to the amount of all other payments made by
                           Seller for such purposes would exceed the Purchase
                           Price.

         (c) SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. In addition to the rights relating to
termination set forth herein, Buyer shall have the right of specific
performance.

         11. MISCELLANEOUS

press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of

agreement concerning its publicly traded securities (in which case the
disclosing Party will use its reasonable best efforts to advise the other Party
before making the disclosure).

         (b) NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement shall not confer any
rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.

                           PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

                  This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment"), dated as of April 30,
1998, is made by and among LNR Property Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"BUYER"), and Pacific Harbor Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"SELLER").

                                    RECITALS

                  Reference is made to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement,
dated as of February 18, 1998 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among the
parties hereto. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

                  The initial Closing Date contemplated under the Purchase
Agreement shall be May 1, 1998.

                  In connection with the initial Closing, the parties hereto
desire to amend the Purchase Agreement as set forth below.

                                    AGREEMENT

                  NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
undertakings in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

1.       INITIAL CLOSING.

         a.       EFFECTIVE DATE. Notwithstanding the dating of the various
                  documents delivered at the initial Closing, the parties
                  acknowledge and agree that the Closing shall be effective at
                  12:01 a.m. on May 1, 1998.

         b.       NEW PROJECTS. The parties acknowledge and agree that
                  Commencement Place Limited Partnership and the Glisan Project
                  are New Projects. Set forth on attached Schedule I is an
                  estimate of the out-of-pocket expenditures, including 


                                       1
<PAGE>

                  capital contributions, with respect to such New Projects,
                  actually expended by Seller.

         c.       LAKEWOOD. The parties acknowledge and agree that Amurcon
                  Corporation of Virginia ("AMURCON") has exercised its right of
                  first refusal and, unless Amurcon elects not to proceed with
                  such acquisition, the Lakewood Project is and shall remain a
                  Withdrawn Project. The Purchase Price shall be reduced by the
                  amount allocated to the Lakewood Project on Schedule 2(g) and
                  no further adjustments shall be made to the Purchase Price by
                  reason of the Lakewood Project; provided, however, that, if
                  Amurcon elects not to proceed with such the acquisition of the
                  Lakewood Project, the Lakewood Project shall be purchased by
                  Buyer and sold by Seller in accordance with Section 2(g) of
                  the Purchase Agreement.

         d.       OTHER WITHDRAWN PROJECTS. Attached hereto as Schedule II is a
                  list of the other Projects constituting Withdrawn Projects
                  which shall not be acquired at the initial Closing. With
                  respect to such Withdrawn Projects, the parties agree as
                  follows:

                  i.       The parties shall use their commercially reasonable
                           best efforts and reasonably cooperate in obtaining
                           the remaining Seller Consents as soon as possible,
                           which efforts shall include, without limitation:

                           (1)      Proceeding to promptly negotiate and execute
                                    documentation with respect to the Park Crest

                                    terms set forth on Exhibit A hereto;

                           (2)      Proceeding to promptly negotiate and execute
                                    documentation with respect to the Ashworth

                                    changes are no more extensive than changes
                                    required with respect to the Park Crest
                                    Project;

                           (3)      Proceeding to promptly negotiate and execute

                                    Harbor Fund Partnership in substantially the
                                    form of the drafts distributed to General
                                    American Life Insurance Company immediately
                                    prior to Closing; provided, that, Buyer
                                    shall not be obligated to obtain a letter of
                                    credit to support the obligation to make
                                    deficit or capital loans and, if General
                                    American Life Insurance Company shall not
                                    permit it, Seller agrees to not insist on
                                    prioritization of claims;


                                       2
<PAGE>


                           (5)      In furtherance and not in limitation of the
                                    undertakings of Buyer under Section 2(g)
                                    hereof, Buyer agrees that, in connection
                                    with the solicitation of the Seller Consents
                                    for the Withdrawn Projects:

                                    (a)      It will execute and deliver
                                             guarantees to third parties with
                                             respect to the obligation to make
                                             Scheduled Capital Contributions;

                                    (b)      It will execute and deliver
                                             undertakings to lenders equivalent
                                             to customary FNMA "key principal"
                                             undertakings.

                  ii.      As soon as possible (in any event, within three (3)
                           business days) after obtaining all required Seller
                           Consents relating to any Withdrawn Project, Seller
                           shall furnish copies thereof to Seller and the
                           parties shall cause such Withdrawn Project to be sold
                           by Seller to Buyer pursuant to the Purchase
                           Agreement. The documentation (in addition to any
                           documentation required in connection with applicable
                           Seller Consents) for such sale subsequent to the
                           initial Closing shall be effected as follows (with
                           only a legal opinion relating to Seller Consents in
                           the form contemplated in the Purchase Agreement to be
                           required):

                           (1)      Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver a
                                    letter agreement specifying the Project to

                           (2)      Seller's counsel shall prepare bills of
                                    sale, assignments and assumption agreements
                                    and related documentation consistent with
                                    the documentation executed and delivered at
                                    the initial Closing; and

                           (3)      Buyer shall wire the Purchase Price
                                    applicable to the Project and the Project

2.       INDEMNIFICATIONS. In addition to the other indemnification obligations
         of Seller under the Purchase Agreement, Seller agrees as follows:

         a.       LIH REALTY CORPORATION. In the event Buyer is required to make
                  payments to LIH Realty Corporation ("LIH") under that certain
                  Unconditional Guaranty, dated on or about the date hereof (the
                  "GUARANTY"), from Buyer to LIH, and the obligation to make
                  such payment arose during any period prior to the Closing (and
                  to the extent such payment does not relate to projected tax
                  benefits for any period after the Closing), then Seller shall
                  indemnify Buyer from and against any payments. In the event
                  Buyer is required to make payments to LIH or Intel Corporation
                  ("INTEL") under that certain Indemnification Agreement, dated
                  on or 


                                       3
<PAGE>

                  about the date hereof (the "INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT"), by
                  and among PacifiCorp Financial Services, Inc., Buyer, LIH and
                  Intel, then Seller shall indemnify Buyer from and against any
                  payments; provided, however, that (i) Buyer shall promptly
                  notify Seller of any claim by LIH or Intel of any claim under
                  the Guaranty or the Indemnification Agreement, (ii) Buyer
                  shall cooperate with Seller, at Seller's reasonable request
                  and expense, with respect to resisting payments on any such
                  claim, and (iii) with respect to the Indemnification
                  Agreement, Seller shall not be liable for any claim to the
                  extent such claim arose from the failure by Buyer or its
                  affiliates to manage Harbor Equity Limited Partnership or the
                  projects owned by any partnership in which HELP has an
                  interest in a commercially reasonable manner or any breach by
                  Buyer or its affiliates of its obligations under the Assumed
                  Obligations.

         b.       INDEMNIFICATION RELATING TO FENIX REDEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP,
                  LTD. Subject to the contest procedure rights in Section 9(j)
                  of the Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Internal
                  Revenue Service finally determines that Fenix Redevelopment
                  Partnership, Ltd. failed to achieve the minimum set-aside
                  requirements in the first year of the credit period applicable
                  to the Fenix Project, then Seller shall indemnify Buyer from
                  and against any loss of Credits caused by such determination.

         c.       INDEMNIFICATION RELATING TO PHC SOUTH FORTY LIMITED, INC.
                  Subject to the contest procedure rights in Section 9(j) of the
                  Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Internal Revenue
                  Service finally determines that PHC South Forty Limited, Inc.
                  failed to achieve the minimum set-aside requirements in the
                  first year of the credit period applicable to the South Forty
                  Project, then Seller shall indemnify Buyer from and against
                  any loss of Credits caused by such determination.

         d.       GENERAL. Seller acknowledges that the indemnification
                  obligations set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above shall:

                  i.       survive Closing and continue until the applicable
                           statute of limitations has run; and

                  ii.      Not be included in the deductible referred to in
                           clause (A), or subject to the ceiling referred to in
                           clause (B), in each case in Section 8(b)(i) of the
                           Purchase Agreement.

3.       POST-CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS. Promptly, in any event within thirty (30)
         days after Closing (and any subsequent Closing with respect to any
         Withdrawn Project), Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a
         detailed calculation of the Purchase Price (the "CLOSING TRUE-UP"),
         including all adjustments, reimbursements and similar required payments
         contemplated under the Purchase Agreement applicable to the Projects
         transferred at such Closing.

         Buyer shall promptly, in any event within fifteen (15) days after
         receipt of the Closing True-up provide in writing any objections or
         corrections to the Closing True-up. If the parties are unable to
         resolve their differences within twenty (20) days thereafter, a
         nationally recognized independent accounting firm (not generally
         representing the Buyer or Seller, unless the parties agree otherwise)
         shall be appointed by the Buyer and Seller, which shall calculate the
         Closing True-up, the determination of such accounting firm to be final.
         In the event the final determination of such accounting firm causes a
         decrease by more than five percent (5%) of the net amount payable to
         Seller, the costs and expenses of the accounting firm for such
         determination shall be for the account of Seller. In the event the
         final determination of such accounting firm causes an increase by more
         than five percent (5%) of the net amount payable to Seller, the costs
         and expenses of the accounting firm for such determination shall be for
         the account of Buyer. In all other events, the costs and expenses of
         the accounting firm for such determination shall be shared equally by
         Buyer and Seller. Upon the first business day following the final
         determination of the Closing True-up (which shall be the fifteenth day
         after receipt of the Closing True-up, if no objection is made, the date
         upon which the parties resolve their differences, or the date of the
         final determination of the accounting firm, as applicable), the Buyer
         shall pay to Seller, or Seller shall reimburse Buyer, as the case may
         be, the amount by which the Purchase Price determined by the Closing
         True-up exceeds or is less than the Purchase Price paid at such
         Closing.

4.       POTENTIAL NEW PROJECTS. The parties acknowledge that set forth on
         attached Schedule III is a list of projects in development by the
         Affordable Housing Group which have not been approved by Buyer and are
         not yet New Projects under the Purchase Agreement. On or before (i)
         June 1, 1998, in the case of the Commerciantes Project and the Town
         Center Apartments, or, (ii) in the case of the other projects listed on
         Schedule III, the earlier of (A) ten days after receipt of an
         allocation of tax credits from the applicable state housing agency, or
         (B) December 31, 1998 (the applicable date referred to in clause (i) or
         (ii) referred to as the "DETERMINATION DATE", Buyer shall do one of the
         following.

         a.       APPROVED PROJECTS. Notify Seller that one or more such
                  Projects are approved by Buyer and pay to Seller by the
                  Determination Date the amount of out-of-pocket expenditures,
                  including capital contributions, with respect to such projects
                  which were incurred by Seller prior to Closing; or

         b.       NON-APPROVED PROJECTS. Notify Seller that one or more such
                  Projects are not to be approved by Buyer and, at Seller's
                  discretion, transfer the contracts and related rights to
                  Seller or cause such contracts and related rights to be
                  canceled. Seller shall indemnify Buyer from and against any
                  loss arising from such cancellation, unless such loss arose
                  from actions of Buyer after Closing (other than the
                  cancellation at the direction of Seller).

5.       HASTINGS LOAN. In addition to the covenants set forth in Section 6(i)
         of the Purchase Agreement, Seller agrees that, for a period of twelve
         (12) months after the Closing, it 


                                       5

         shall not cause the Hastings Permanent Financing to occur unless it has
         been notified in writing by the agency responsible for such decision
         that the California property tax exemption shall not be provided to the
         Hastings Park Project.

6.       ARCS CREDITS. In the event Buyer or its Affiliates receives a credit of
         the assumption fee paid to ARCS Commercial Mortgage, Co., L.P.
         ("ARCS"), as contemplated in that certain letter, dated March 31, 1998,
         from ARCS to Thomas Kemper, Buyer shall pay to Seller in dollars,
         within two (2) business days of the receipt of the credit, equal to
         seventy five percent (75%) of such credit (e.g., if Buyer or its
         Affiliates receives a credit to the loan fee in the amount of $50,000,
         Buyer shall pay $37,500 to Seller).

7.       ASHWORTH WOODS; WOLF APARTMENTS. In the event that, the parties hereto
         are unable, using commercial reasonable good faith efforts, to
         negotiate and execute documentation with respect to the Ashworth
         Project and Wolf Project and to obtain the Seller Consents applicable
         thereto consistent with the Section 1(d) above and the Purchase
         Agreement on or before sixty (60) days after the date hereof, either
         party may at its sole option, within twenty (20) days thereafter,
         require Buyer to transfer to Seller and Seller to accept all of the
         limited partnership interests in Calibre Altoona Associates, L.P. and
         Calibre Boalsburg Associates, L.P. at a price which places the Buyer
         and Seller in substantially the same economic position had such
         transfer not occurred.

8.       SCHEDULES. The Schedules to the Purchase Agreement are hereby amended
         to read in their entirety as set forth on the corresponding Schedules
         attached hereto.

9.       NO FURTHER AMENDMENTS, ETC... Except as specifically modified herein,
         the Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and no
         provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision of the
         Purchase Agreement, unless expressly provided in writing.

10.      COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in one or more
         counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of
         which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
