OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR CASH
ANY AND ALL UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
IN
McNEIL REAL ESTATE FUND IX, LTD.
FOR
$180.00 NET PER UNIT
BY
HIGH RIVER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
THE OFFER AND RELATED WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW
YORK CITY TIME, ON OCTOBER 18, 1996, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED.
IMPORTANT
HIGH RIVER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Purchaser"), is offering to purchase any and all of the outstanding units of
limited partnership interest ("Units") in McNEIL REAL ESTATE FUND IX, LTD., a
California limited partnership (the "Partnership"), at a purchase price of
$180.00 per Unit (the "Purchase Price"), net to the seller in cash, without
interest, less the amount of distributions per Unit, if any, declared or made by
the Partnership between August 15, 1996 and the date of payment of the Purchase
Price by the Purchaser, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase, as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time
(the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Assignment of Partnership
Interest, including the Instructions thereto, as it may be supplemented or
amended from time to time (the "Assignment of Partnership Interest" which,
collectively with the Offer to Purchase, constitute the "Offer"). LIMITED
PARTNERS WHO TENDER THEIR UNITS IN RESPONSE TO THE OFFER WILL NOT BE OBLIGATED
TO PAY ANY COMMISSIONS OR PARTNERSHIP TRANSFER FEES. Because Carl C. Icahn
controls the Purchaser, he may be deemed to be a "co-bidder" with the Purchaser.
Any holder of Units (each, a "Limited Partner") desiring to tender
Units should complete and sign the Assignment of Partnership Interest or a
facsimile thereof in accordance with the Instructions in the Assignment of
Partnership Interest and mail or deliver the signed Assignment of Partnership
Interest and the associated certificates of beneficial interest in the
Partnership and the Limited Partners' copy of the Restated Certificate and
Agreement of Limited Partnership executed by the Partnership's general partner
and evidencing the Limited Partner's interest in Units (collectively, the
"Certificates") to the Depositary (as defined below). A Limited Partner may
tender any or all of the Units owned by that Limited Partner, provided, however,
that in order for a tender to be valid, the tender must satisfy the minimum
units requirements (the "Minimum Units Requirements") of the Partnership's
partnership agreement (the "Partnership Agreement"). See Section 3 of the Offer
to Purchase. For convenience, the relevant portions of the Partnership Agreement
are set forth in Exhibit A to this Offer.

Limited Partners are urged to consider the following factors:
o The Purchaser is making the Offer with a view to making a profit.
Accordingly, there is a conflict between the desire of the Purchaser to
purchase Units at the lowest possible price and the desire of the
Limited Partners to sell their Units at the highest possible price.
o The Purchase Price represents 75% of the liquidation value per Unit, and
68% of the net asset value per Unit, in each case, as estimated by the
Purchaser. While the Purchaser believes that the actual current value of
a Unit may be substantially less than its estimate of liquidation value,
there is a substantial likelihood that the value realizable in an
orderly liquidation could be greater than the estimated liquidation
value. The Purchaser's estimate of liquidation value was based
predominantly on publicly available information relating to the
Partnership and its properties in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 (the "Form 10-K ") and its Form 10-Q
for the period ended June 30, 1996 and, to a lesser extent, on the
non-public Due Diligence Information (as hereinafter defined) provided
to the Purchaser in 1995. The Purchaser's calculations are based on
rough estimates and the values resulting therefrom may not be indicative
of actual values to any extent. The Purchaser has not conducted any
appraisal of the Partnership's properties and has no independent basis
whatsoever for determining the accuracy or completeness of the
Partnership's publicly filed financial information or the Due Diligence
Information. See Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase. No representation
is made by the Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser with respect
to the fairness of the Purchase Price.
o The Purchaser (together with an affiliate) currently owns approximately
7.4% of the outstanding Units and may thereby be in a position to
influence voting decisions with respect to the Partnership, including,
without limitation, decisions concerning amendments to the Partnership
Agreement and removal and replacement of the Partnership's general
partner. The acquisition of additional Units pursuant to the Offer would
enhance such voting influence. As a result (i) those who remain Limited
Partners after the expiration of the Offer could be prevented from
taking action they desire but that the Purchaser opposes and (ii) the
Purchaser may be able to take action desired by the Purchaser but
opposed by such remaining Limited Partners. Generally, however, voting
decisions other than certain decisions concerning the removal and
substitution of the Partnership's general partner require the consent of
the Partnership's general partner prior to effectuation. Further, to the
extent valid, Reorganization Transactions require a Supermajority Vote
(as those terms are defined in the Partnership Agreement) and the
consent of the Partnership's general partner prior to effectuation. See
Section 10 of the Offer to Purchase.
o The terms of the Partnership Agreement require the Partnership's general
partner to begin to liquidate the Partnership's properties no later than
November 12, 1998, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to
liquidate and terminate the Partnership by December 31, 1999. If such a
liquidation were to occur, Limited Partners who sell their Units to the
Purchaser pursuant to the Offer will not participate in any such
liquidation, which may be at a price higher than the Purchase Price. See
"Introduction" and Section 9 of the Offer to Purchase.
o The Purchaser may seek to remove the Partnership's general partner
and/or its property manager, McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc.
("McREMI") (which is an affiliate of the Partnership's general partner).
Such removal may require the Partnership to pay a fee and other payments
to the Partnership's general partner and/or its affiliates (including
McREMI) and may result in acceleration of certain of the Partnership's
debt obligations, and/or the Partnership's incurrence of expenses
pursuant to provisions of such debt obligation which may have an adverse
effect on the Partnership. See "Introduction" and Section 8 of the Offer
to Purchase.
o As discussed in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, the sale of 50
percent or more of the Units in the Partnership over a period of twelve
months will result in the termination of the Partnership for federal
income tax purposes. Such a termination would result in lower
depreciation deductions to the Partnership for the next few years.
Accordingly, it is possible that the acquisition of Units pursuant to
the Offer, when combined with other transfers within twelve months, will
result in a termination of the Partnership for income tax purposes. In
such a case, non-tendering Limited Partners may, depending on their
individual circumstances, have a greater tax liability with respect to
the Partnership than they would have had in the absence of a
termination. See Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase.
Questions and requests for assistance or for additional copies of the Offer
to Purchase and the Assignment of Partnership Interest may be directed to the
Information Agent (as defined below) at the address and telephone number set
forth on the front and back covers of the Offer to Purchase. No soliciting
dealer fees or other payments to brokers for tenders are being paid by the
Purchaser.
THIS TRANSACTION HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "COMMISSION") NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF SUCH TRANSACTION NOR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS
UNLAWFUL.

TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS OF
MCNEIL REAL ESTATE FUND IX, LTD.
INTRODUCTION
High River Limited Partnership hereby offers to purchase any and all Units
at the Purchase Price set forth above, net to the seller in cash, without
interest, less the amount of distributions per Unit, if any, declared or made by
the Partnership between August 15, 1996 and the date of payment of the Purchase
Price by Purchaser, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
the Offer. Limited Partners who tender their Units in response to the Offer will
not be obligated to pay any commissions or Partnership transfer fees. The
Purchaser has retained Beacon Hill Partners, Inc. to act as Information Agent
(the "Information Agent") and IBJ Schroder Bank & Trust Company to act as
Depositary (the "Depositary") in connection with the Offer. The Purchaser will
pay all charges and expenses in connection with the services of the Information
Agent and the Depositary. The Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of
Units being tendered. Subject to the Minimum Units Requirements, a Limited
Partner may tender any or all of the Units owned by that Limited Partner.
Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Offer to Purchase or any related
document, under no circumstances will the Purchaser be required to accept any
Units the transfer of which to the Purchaser would be prohibited by the
Partnership Agreement or any regulation or procedure adopted thereunder.
Some Factors To Be Considered by Limited Partners. In considering the
Offer, Limited Partners may wish to consider the following:
o The Purchaser is making the Offer with a view to making a profit.
Accordingly, there is a conflict between the desire of the Purchaser to
purchase Units at the lowest possible price and the desire of the
Limited Partners to sell their Units at the highest possible price.
o The Purchaser, together with an affiliate, currently owns approximately
7.4% of the outstanding Units and may thereby be in a position to
influence voting decisions with respect to the Partnership, including,
without limitation, decisions concerning amendments to the Partnership
Agreement and removal and replacement of the Partnership's general
partner. The acquisition of additional Units pursuant to the Offer would
enhance such voting influence. As a result (i) those who remain Limited
Partners after the expiration of the Offer could be prevented from
taking action they desire but that the Purchaser opposes and (ii) the
Purchaser may be able to take action desired by the Purchaser which may
be opposed by, and which may not be in the best interests of, such
remaining Limited Partners. Generally, however, voting decisions other
than certain decisions concerning the removal and substitution of the
Partnership's general partner require the consent of the Partnership's
general partner prior to effectuation. Further, to the extent valid,
Reorganization Transactions require a Supermajority Vote (as those terms
are defined in the Partnership Agreement) and the consent of the
Partnership's general partner prior to effectuation. See Section 10 of
the Offer to Purchase.
o The terms of the Partnership Agreement require the Partnership's general
partner to begin to liquidate the Partnership's properties no later than
November 12, 1998, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to
liquidate and terminate the Partnership by December 31, 1999. If such a
liquidation were to occur, Limited Partners who sell their Units to the
Purchaser pursuant to the Offer will not participate in any such
liquidation, which may be at a price higher than the Purchase Price.
o Although the Purchaser is making the Offer for investment purposes and
with a view toward making a profit, it may, based upon the number of
Units it currently owns (together with an affiliate) and the number of
Units it acquires pursuant to the Offer, be in a position to influence
control of the Partnership and may seek to remove the Partnership's
general partner and/or McREMI. Such removal may require the Partnership
to pay a fee and other payments to the Partnership's general partner
and/or its affiliates and may result in acceleration of certain of the
Partnership's debt obligations, and/or the Partnership's incurrence of
expenses pursuant to provisions of such debt obligations, which may have
an adverse effect on the Partnership. See Section 8 of the Offer to
Purchase.
o The Purchase Price represents 75% of the liquidation value per Unit, and
68% of the net asset value per Unit, in each case, as estimated by the
Purchaser. While the Purchaser believes that the actual current value of
a Unit may be substantially less than its estimate of liquidation value,
there is a substantial likelihood that the value realizable in an
orderly liquidation could be greater than the estimated liquidation
value. The

Purchaser's estimate of liquidation value was based predominantly on
publicly available information relating to the Partnership and its
properties in the Partnership's Form 10-K and its Form 10-Q for the
period ended June 30, 1996 and, to a lesser extent, on the non-public
Due Diligence Information provided to the Purchaser in 1995. The
Purchaser's calculations are based on rough estimates and the values
resulting therefrom may not be indicative of actual values to any
extent. The Purchaser has not conducted any appraisal of the
Partnership's properties and has no independent basis whatsoever for
determining the accuracy or completeness of the Partnership's publicly
filed financial information or the Due Diligence Information. See
Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase. No representation is made by the
Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser with respect to the fairness
of the Purchase Price.
o As discussed in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, the sale of 50
percent or more of the Units in the Partnership over a period of twelve
months will result in the termination of the Partnership for federal
income tax purposes. Such a termination would result in lower
depreciation deductions to the Partnership for the next few years. If
the acquisition of Units pursuant to the Offer, when combined with other
transfers within twelve months, results in a termination of the
Partnership, non-tendering Limited Partners may, depending on their
individual circumstances, have a greater tax liability with respect to
the Partnership than they would have had in the absence of a
termination. See Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase.
Limited Partners should consult with their respective advisors about the
financial, tax, legal and other implications of accepting the Offer. Limited
Partners are urged to read the Offer to Purchase and the related materials
carefully and in their entirety before deciding whether to tender their Units.
The Purchaser. The Purchaser is a Delaware limited partnership, the general
partner of which is Riverdale LLC, a New York limited liability company
("Riverdale"). Riverdale is controlled by Mr.Icahn. See Section 11 of the Offer
to Purchase for a description of the Purchaser's business.
Conditions. The Offer is not conditioned on financing or on any minimum
number of Units being tendered. Certain other conditions, however, do apply. See
Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase.
Outstanding Units. According to publicly available information, there are
110,170 Units issued and outstanding, which, on February 16, 1996, were held by
4,896 Limited Partners. The Purchaser and its affiliate beneficially own 8,132
(or approximately 7.4% of the outstanding) Units. See Section 11 of the Offer to
Purchase.
Additional Information. The Partnership is subject to the information and
reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
("Exchange Act"), and in accordance therewith is required to file reports and
other information with the Commission relating to its business, financial
condition and other matters. Such reports and other information may be inspected

York 10048. Copies of such material can also be obtained from the Public
Reference Room of the Commission in Washington, D.C. at prescribed rates.
ALL OF THE INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTNERSHIP CONTAINED IN THE
OFFER TO PURCHASE HAS BEEN DERIVED FROM DOCUMENTS AND REPORTS PUBLICLY FILED BY
THE PARTNERSHIP OR THE DUE DILIGENCE INFORMATION (AS DEFINED IN THE PORTION OF
SECTION 13 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE ENTITLED "DETERMINATION OF THE PURCHASE
PRICE"). ALTHOUGH THE PURCHASER HAS NO INFORMATION THAT ANY STATEMENTS OR
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE BASED UPON SUCH DOCUMENTS,
REPORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE INFORMATION ARE UNTRUE, THE PURCHASER CANNOT TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INFORMATION CONCERNING
THE PARTNERSHIP CONTAINED IN SUCH DOCUMENTS, REPORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE

HAVE OCCURRED AND MAY AFFECT THE SIGNIFICANCE OR ACCURACY OF ANY SUCH
INFORMATION BUT WHICH ARE UNKNOWN TO THE PURCHASER.

THE OFFER
SECTION 1. TERMS OF THE OFFER; EXPIRATION DATE.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Purchaser
will accept (and thereby purchase) any and all Units that are validly tendered
on or prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase. For purposes of the
Offer, the term "Expiration Date" shall mean 12:00 midnight, New York City time,
on October 18, 1996, unless the Purchaser in its sole discretion shall have
extended the period of time for which the Offer is open, in which event the term
"Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time and date on which the Offer, as
extended by the Purchaser, shall expire. See Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase
for a description of the Purchaser's right to extend the period of time during
which the Offer is open and to amend or terminate the Offer.
If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchaser increases the consideration
offered to Limited Partners pursuant to the Offer, the increased consideration
will be paid for all Units accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, whether
or not the Units were tendered prior to the increase in consideration.
The Purchaser will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Offer, accept for payment and pay for any and all of the Units so tendered, and
not properly withdrawn on or prior to the Expiration Date, with appropriate
adjustments to avoid (i) purchases of fractional Units and (ii) purchases that
would violate the Partnership Agreement and any relevant procedures or
regulations promulgated by the Partnership's general partner. The Purchaser will
purchase all Units so tendered and not withdrawn, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of the Offer.
The Offer is not conditioned upon financing or upon a minimum number of
Units being tendered, but is conditioned on satisfaction of certain other
conditions. See Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase, which sets forth in full
the conditions of the Offer. The Purchaser reserves the right (but in no event
shall be obligated), in its sole discretion, to waive any or all of those
conditions. If, on or prior to the Expiration Date, any or all of the conditions
have not been satisfied or waived, the Purchaser reserves the right to (i)
decline to purchase any of the Units tendered, terminate the Offer and return
all tendered Units to tendering Limited Partners, (ii) waive all the unsatisfied
conditions and, subject to complying with applicable rules and regulations of
the Commission, purchase all Units validly tendered, (iii) extend the Offer and,
subject to the right of Limited Partners to withdraw Units until the Expiration
Date, retain the Units that have been tendered during the period or periods for
which the Offer is extended, and (iv) amend the Offer.
The Offer to Purchase and the related Assignment of Partnership Interest
will be mailed pursuant to Rule 14d-5 under the Exchange Act. The Purchaser has
requested that the Partnership furnish it with a list of holders of Units for
the purpose of disseminating the Offer to such holders. If the Partnership
complies with such request, then the Purchaser will cause such mailing to be
made; otherwise, the Partnership is required by the Exchange Act and the rules
thereunder to cause such mailing to be made.
SECTION 2. ACCEPTANCE FOR PAYMENT AND PAYMENT FOR UNITS.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Purchaser
will purchase by accepting for payment and will pay for any and all Units
validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the procedures specified
in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, as promptly as practicable following the
Expiration Date. A tendering beneficial owner of Units whose Units are owned of
record by an Individual Retirement Account or other qualified plan will not
receive direct payment of the Purchase Price; rather, payment will be made to
the custodian of such account or plan. In all cases, payment for Units purchased
pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary
of a properly completed and duly executed Assignment of Partnership Interest (or
facsimile thereof, if followed by the signed original) and any other documents
required by the Assignment of Partnership Interest. See Section 3 of the Offer
to Purchase. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTEREST BE PAID ON THE PURCHASE PRICE
BY REASON OF ANY DELAY IN MAKING SUCH PAYMENT.
For purposes of the Offer, the Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted
for payment pursuant to the Offer, and thereby purchased, validly tendered
Units, if, as and when the Purchaser gives verbal or written notice to the
Depositary of the Purchaser's acceptance of those Units for payment pursuant to
the Offer.
If any tendered Units are not purchased for any reason, the Certificates
associated with such Units will be returned, without expense to such tendering
Limited Partner, as promptly as practicable following the expiration,

<PAGE>
termination or withdrawal of the Offer. If for any reason, acceptance for
payment of, or payment for, any Units tendered pursuant to the Offer is delayed
or the Purchaser is unable to accept for payment, purchase or pay for Units
tendered pursuant to the Offer, then, without prejudice to the Purchaser's
rights under Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase, the Depositary may,
nevertheless, on behalf of the Purchaser retain tendered Units, and those Units
may not be withdrawn except to the extent that the tendering Limited Partners
are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in Section 4 of the Offer to
Purchase; subject, however, to the Purchaser's obligation under Rule 14e-1(c)
under the Exchange Act to pay Limited Partners the Purchase Price in respect of
Units tendered or return those Units promptly after termination or withdrawal of
the Offer.
The Purchaser reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or from
time to time in part, to one or more persons, the right to purchase Units
tendered pursuant to the Offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not
relieve the Purchaser of its obligations under the Offer or prejudice the rights
of tendering Limited Partners to receive payment for Units validly tendered and
accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer.
SECTION 3. PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING UNITS.
Valid Tender. To validly tender Units, a properly completed and duly
executed Assignment of Partnership Interest and any other documents required by
the Assignment of Partnership Interest (or facsimiles thereof, if followed by a
signed original) and the associated Certificates must be received by the
Depositary, at its address set forth on the back cover of the Offer to Purchase,
on or prior to the Expiration Date. Subject to the Minimum Units Requirements, a
Limited Partner may tender any or all of the Units owned by that Limited
Partner. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted.
Signature Requirements. In all cases, the signature of the Limited Partner
on the Assignment of Partnership Interest must be guaranteed by a member firm of
a registered national securities exchange, a member of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank, savings bank, credit union,
savings and loan association or trust company having an office, branch or agency
in the United States. See Instruction 1 to the Assignment of Partnership
Interest.
In order for a tendering Limited Partner to participate in the Offer, its
Units must be validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the Expiration
Date.
THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE ASSIGNMENT OF PARTNERSHIP INTEREST, ALL OTHER
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS AND THE ASSOCIATED CERTIFICATES IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF
THE TENDERING LIMITED PARTNER AND DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN
ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.
Appointment as Proxy. By executing an Assignment of Partnership Interest, a
tendering Limited Partner irrevocably appoints the Purchaser, its general
partner and its designees as the Limited Partner's attorneys-in-fact and
proxies, in the manner set forth in the Assignment of Partnership Interest, each
with full power of substitution, to the full extent of the Limited Partner's
rights with respect to the Units tendered by the Limited Partner and accepted
for payment by the Purchaser. Each such proxy shall be considered coupled with
an interest in the tendered Units. Such appointment will be effective when, and
only to the extent that, the Purchaser accepts the tendered Units for payment.
Upon such acceptance for payment, all prior proxies given by the Limited Partner
with respect to the Units will, without further action, be revoked, and no
subsequent proxies may be given (and if given will not be effective). The
Purchaser, its general partner, and the designees of the Purchaser will, as to
those Units, be empowered to exercise all voting and other rights of the Limited
Partner as they, in their sole discretion, may deem proper at any meeting of
Limited Partners, by written consent or otherwise. The Purchaser reserves the
right to require that, in order for Units to be deemed validly tendered,
immediately upon the Purchaser's acceptance for payment of the Units, the
Purchaser must be able to exercise full voting rights with respect to the Units,
including voting at any meeting of Limited Partners then scheduled or acting by
written consent without a meeting. By executing the Assignment of Partnership
Interest, a tendering holder of Units agrees to execute all such documents and
take such other actions as shall be reasonably required to enable the Units
tendered to be voted in accordance with the directions of the Purchaser. The
proxy and power-of-attorney granted by a Limited Partner to the Purchaser upon
his execution of the Assignment of Partnership Interest (and all related and
associated rights, authority and power) shall be effective from the acceptance
for payment of the Units tendered and shall remain effective and be irrevocable
until August 1, 2006. The Purchaser may assign such proxy and/or such
power-of-attorney to any person with or without assigning the related Units with
respect to which such proxy and/or power-of-attorney was granted.
4
<PAGE>
Assignment of Interest in Future Distributions. By executing an Assignment
of Partnership Interest, a tendering Limited Partner irrevocably assigns to the
Purchaser and its assigns all of the right, title and interest of the Limited
Partner in and to any and all distributions in respect of the Units tendered and
purchased pursuant to the Offer, other than those distributions declared or made
between August 15, 1996 and the date of payment of the Purchase Price by the
Purchaser.
Power of Attorney. By executing and delivering the Assignment of
Partnership Interest, a tendering Limited Partner also irrevocably appoints any
person nominated by the Purchaser or any designee thereof (the "Agent") as the
Limited Partner's attorney-in-fact with an irrevocable instruction to the Agent
to execute all or any instruments of transfer and/or other documents in the
Agent's discretion in relation to the Units tendered and to make all elections
and do all such other acts and things as may, be necessary in connection with
the acceptance of the Offer by the Limited Partner and to vest in the Purchaser,
or as it may direct, the tendered Units.
Determination of Validity; Rejection of Units; Waiver of Defects; No
Obligation to Give Notice of Defects. All questions as to the validity, form,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender
of Units pursuant to the Offer will be determined by the Purchaser, in its sole
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties. The
Purchaser reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any
particular Units determined by it not to be in proper form or if the acceptance
of or payment for those Units may, in the opinion of the Purchaser's counsel, be
unlawful. The Purchaser also reserves the absolute right to waive or amend any
of the conditions of the Offer that it is legally permitted to waive as to the
tender of any particular Units and to waive any defect or irregularity in any
tender with respect to any particular Units of any particular Limited Partner.
The Purchaser's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer
(including the Assignment of Partnership Interest) will be final and binding on
all parties. No tender of Units will be deemed to have been validly made unless
and until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Neither the
Purchaser, the Depositary nor any other person will be under any duty to give
notification of any defects or irregularities in the tender of any Units or will
incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
Backup Federal Income Tax Withholding. To prevent the possible application
of backup federal income tax withholding of 31% with respect to payment of the
Purchase Price, a tendering Limited Partner must provide the Purchaser with the
Limited Partner's correct taxpayer identification number by completing the
Substitute Form W-9 included in the Assignment of Partnership Interest. See the
Instructions to the Assignment of Partnership Interest and Section 6 of the
Offer to Purchase.
FIRPTA Withholding. To prevent the withholding of federal income tax in an
amount equal to 10% of the amount of the Purchase Price plus Partnership
liabilities allocable to each Unit purchased, each tendering Limited Partner
must complete the FIRPTA Affidavit included in the Assignment of Partnership
Interest certifying the Limited Partner's taxpayer identification number and
address and that the Limited Partner is not a foreign person. See the
Instructions to the Assignment of Partnership Interest and Section 6 of the
Offer to Purchase.
A tender of Units pursuant to any of the procedures described above and the
acceptance for payment of such Units will constitute a binding agreement between
the tendering Limited Partner and the Purchaser on the terms set forth in the
Offer.
SECTION 4. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.
Tenders of Units pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable, except that Units
tendered pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the
Expiration Date and, unless already accepted for payment as provided in the
Offer to Purchase, may also be withdrawn at any time after November 18, 1996.
For withdrawal to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission notice
of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary at its address set forth
on the back cover of the Offer to Purchase. Any such notice of withdrawal must
specify the name of the person who tendered, the number of Units to be withdrawn
and the name in which the Certificates are registered, if different from the
person who tendered. In addition, the notice of withdrawal must be signed by the
person(s) who signed the Assignment of Partnership Interest in the same manner
as the Assignment of Partnership Interest was signed. If purchase of, or payment
for, Units is delayed for any reason or if the Purchaser is unable to purchase
or pay for Units for any reason, then, without prejudice to the Purchaser's
rights under the Offer, tendered Units may be retained by the Depositary and may
not be withdrawn, except to the extent that tendering Limited Partners are
entitled to withdrawal rights as set forth in this Section 4; subject, however,
to the Purchaser's obligation, pursuant to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act,
to pay Limited Partners the Purchase Price in respect of Units tendered or
return those Units promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer.
5
<PAGE>
Any Units properly withdrawn will be deemed not to be validly tendered for
purposes of the Offer. Withdrawn Units may be re-tendered, however, by following
the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase at any time prior
to the Expiration Date.
All questions as to the validity and form (including time of receipt) of
notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Purchaser, in its sole
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties.
Neither the Purchaser, the Depositary nor any other person will be under any
duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of
withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
SECTION 5. EXTENSION OF TENDER PERIOD; TERMINATION; AMENDMENT.
The Purchaser expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any
time and from time to time, (i) to extend the period of time during which the
Offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and the payment for,
any Units, (ii) to terminate the Offer and not accept for payment any Units not
theretofore accepted for payment or paid for, (iii) upon the occurrence of any
of the conditions specified in Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase, to delay the
acceptance for payment of, or payment for, any Units not already accepted for
payment or paid for, and (iv) to amend the Offer in any respect (including,
without limitation, by changing the consideration offered, the number of Units
being sought, or both). Notice of any such extension, termination or amendment
will promptly be disseminated to Limited Partners in a manner reasonably
designed to inform Limited Partners of such change in compliance with Rule
14d-4(c) under the Exchange Act. In the case of an extension of the Offer, the
extension will be followed by a press release or public announcement which will
be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day
after the scheduled Expiration Date, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(d) under the
Exchange Act.
If the Purchaser extends the Offer, or if the Purchaser (whether before or
after its acceptance for payment of Units) is delayed in its payment for Units
or is unable to pay for Units pursuant to the Offer for any reason, then,
without prejudice to the Purchaser's rights under the Offer, the Depositary may
retain tendered Units and those Units may not be withdrawn except to the extent
tendering Limited Partners are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in
Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase; subject, however, to the Purchaser's
obligation, pursuant to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay Limited
Partners the Purchase Price in respect of Units tendered or return those Units
promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer.
If the Purchaser makes a material change in the terms of the Offer, or if
it waives a material condition to the Offer, the Purchaser will extend the Offer
and disseminate additional tender offer materials to the extent required by
Rules 14d-4(c) and 14d-6(d) under the Exchange Act. The minimum period during
which an offer must remain open following any material change in the terms of an
offer, other than a change in price or a change in percentage of securities
sought or a change in any dealer's soliciting fee, will depend upon the facts
and circumstances, including the materiality of the change. With respect to a
change in price or, subject to certain limitations, a change in the percentage
of securities sought or a change in any dealer's soliciting fee, a minimum of
ten business days from the date of such change is generally required to allow
for adequate dissemination to holders of Units. Accordingly, if prior to the
Expiration Date, the Purchaser changes the number of Units being sought, or
increases or decreases the consideration offered pursuant to an offer, and if
such offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the tenth business
day from the date that notice of such increase or decrease is first published,
sent or given to holders of Units, such offer will be extended at least until
the expiration of such ten business days. As used in the Offer to Purchase,
"business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a federal holiday,
and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight, New York
City time.
SECTION 6. CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS.
The following summary is a general discussion of certain of the federal
income tax consequences of a sale of Units pursuant to the Offer. This summary
is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
applicable Treasury regulations thereunder, administrative rulings, practice and
procedures and judicial authority, all as of the date of the Offer. All of the
foregoing are subject to change, and any such change could affect the continuing
accuracy of this summary. This summary does not discuss all aspects of federal
income taxation that may be relevant to a particular Limited Partner in light of
such Limited Partner's specific circumstances or to certain types of Limited
Partners subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws (for
example, foreign persons, dealers in securities, banks, insurance companies and
tax-exempt organizations), nor (except as otherwise expressly indicated) does it
describe any aspect of state, local, foreign or other tax laws. Sales of Units
pursuant to the Offer will be taxable
6
<PAGE>
transactions for federal income tax purposes, and also may be taxable
transactions under applicable state, local, foreign and other tax laws. LIMITED
PARTNERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR RESPECTIVE TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX
CONSEQUENCES TO EACH SUCH LIMITED PARTNER OF SELLING UNITS PURSUANT TO THE
OFFER.
In general, a Limited Partner will recognize gain or loss on a sale of
Units pursuant to the Offer equal to the difference between (i) the Limited
Partner's "amount realized" on the sale and (ii) the Limited Partner's adjusted
tax basis in the Units sold. The amount of a Limited Partner's adjusted tax
basis in such Units will vary depending upon the Limited Partner's particular
circumstances. Such adjusted tax basis will take into account the Partnership's
liabilities allocable to the Units sold (as determined under Code Section 752
and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder), and will also be affected
by allocations of income, gain or loss, and any cash distributions made by the
Partnership with respect to the Units. The "amount realized" with respect to a
Unit will be a sum equal to the amount of cash received by the Limited Partner
for the Unit pursuant to the Offer (that is, the Purchase Price) plus the amount
of the Partnership's liabilities allocable to the Unit (as determined under Code
Section 752 and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder).
The gain or loss recognized by a Limited Partner on a sale of a Unit
pursuant to the Offer generally will be treated as a capital gain or loss if (as
is generally expected to be the case) the Unit was held by the Limited Partner
as a capital asset. That capital gain or loss will be treated as long-term
capital gain or loss if the tendering Limited Partner's holding period for the
Unit exceeds one year. Under current law, long-term capital gains of individuals
and other non-corporate taxpayers are taxed at a maximum marginal federal income
tax rate of 28%, whereas the maximum marginal federal income tax rate for
ordinary income of such persons is 39.6%. Capital losses are deductible only to
the extent of capital gains, except that non-corporate taxpayers may deduct up
to $3,000 of capital losses in excess of the amount of their capital gains
against ordinary income. Excess capital losses generally can be carried forward
to succeeding years (a corporation's carry forward period is five years and a
non-corporate taxpayer can carry forward such losses indefinitely); in addition,
a corporation is permitted to carry back excess capital losses to the three
preceding taxable years, provided the carryback does not increase or produce a
net operating loss for any of those years.
If any portion of the amount realized by a Limited Partner is attributable
to "unrealized receivables" (which includes depreciation recapture) or
"substantially appreciated inventory" as defined in Code Section 751, then a
portion of the Limited Partner's gain or loss may be ordinary rather than
capital.
A tendering Limited Partner will be allocated a pro rata share of the
Partnership's taxable income or loss for the year of sale with respect to the
Units sold in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement
concerning transfers of Units. Such allocation and any cash distributed by the
Partnership to the Limited Partner for that year will affect the Limited
Partner's adjusted tax basis in Units and, therefore, the amount of such Limited
Partner's taxable gain or loss upon a sale of Units pursuant to the Offer.
Under Code Section 469, a non-corporate taxpayer or personal service
corporation generally can deduct "passive activity losses" in any year only to
the extent of the person's passive activity income for that year. Closely held
corporations may not offset such losses against so-called "portfolio" income
(e.g., dividends or interest). Substantially all post-1986 losses of Limited
Partners from the Partnership are passive activity losses. Limited Partners may
have "suspended" passive activity losses from the Partnership (i.e., post-1986
net taxable losses in excess of statutorily permitted "phase-in" amounts and
which have not been used to offset income from other passive activities).
If a Limited Partner sells less than all of its Units pursuant to the
Offer, a loss recognized by that Limited Partner can be currently deducted
(subject to other applicable limitations) to the extent of the Limited Partner's
passive income from the Partnership for that year plus any other passive
activity income for that year, and a gain recognized by a Limited Partner upon
the sale of Units can be offset by the Limited Partner's current or "suspended"
passive activity losses (if any) from the Partnership and other sources. If, on
the other hand, a Limited Partner sells 100% of its Units pursuant to the Offer,
any "suspended" losses and any losses recognized upon the sale of the Units will
be offset first against any other net passive gain to the Limited Partner from
the sale of the Units and any other net passive activity income from other
passive activity investments, and the balance of any "suspended" net losses from
the Units will no longer be subject to the passive activity loss limitation and,
therefore, will be deductible by such Limited Partner from its other income
(subject to any other applicable limitations). A tendering Limited Partner must
sell all of its Units to receive these tax benefits.

<PAGE>
Section 708(b) of the Code provides that a partnership terminates for
federal income tax purposes if there is a sale or exchange of 50 percent or more
of the total interest in partnership capital and profits within a twelve-month
period. Accordingly, it is possible that transfers made pursuant to the Offer,
in combination with other transfers made within twelve months of the Offer, will
result in a termination of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. In
the event of a termination, the Partnership would subsequently be treated for
federal income tax purposes as a "new" partnership. Since the "new" partnership
would be treated as having acquired its assets on the date of the termination, a
new depreciation recovery period would begin on such date and the Partnership's
properties would be required to be depreciated over a greater period than is
currently being used, and accordingly, the aggregate present value of the
Partnership's depreciation deductions would be reduced.
Limited Partners (other than tax-exempt persons, corporations and certain
foreign persons) who tender Units may be subject to 31% backup withholding
unless those Limited Partners provide a taxpayer identification number ("TIN")
and certify that the TIN is correct or properly certify that they are awaiting a
TIN. A Limited Partner may avoid backup withholding by properly completing and
signing the Substitute Form W-9 included as part of the Assignment of
Partnership Interest. If a Limited Partner who is subject to backup withholding
does not properly complete and sign the Substitute Form W-9, the Purchaser will
withhold 31% from payments to such Limited Partner.
A Limited Partner who tenders Units must file an information statement with
his federal income tax return for the year of the sale which provides the
information specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.751-1(a)(3). The selling
Limited Partner also must notify the Partnership of the date of the transfer and
the names, addresses and TINs of the transferor and transferee within 30 days of
the date of the transfer (or, if earlier, by January 15 of the following
calendar year).
Gain realized by a foreign Limited Partner on the sale of a Unit pursuant
to the Offer will be subject to federal income tax. Under Code Section 1445, the
transferee of an interest held by a foreign person in a partnership which owns
United States real property generally is required to deduct and withhold a tax
equal to 10% of the amount realized on the disposition. In order to comply with
this requirement, the Purchaser will withhold 10% of the amount realized (which
includes the Partnership's liabilities allocable to the tendered Units, as
discussed above) by a tendering Limited Partner unless the Limited Partner
properly completes and signs the FIRPTA Affidavit included as part of the
Assignment of Partnership Interest certifying the Limited Partner's TIN, that
such Limited Partner is not a foreign person and the Limited Partner's address.
Amounts withheld would be creditable against a Limited Partner's federal income
tax liability and, if in excess thereof, a refund could be obtained from the
Internal Revenue Service by filing a U.S. income tax return.
SECTION 7. EFFECTS OF THE OFFER.
Effect on Trading Market; Registration Under Section 12(g) of the Exchange
Act. If a substantial number of Units are purchased pursuant to the Offer, the
likely result will be a reduction in the number of Limited Partners. In the case
of certain kinds of securities, a reduction in the number of security-holders
might be expected to result in a reduction in the liquidity and volume of
activity in the trading market for the security. In this case, however, there is
no established public trading market for the Units, and therefore, the Purchaser
does not believe a reduction in the number of Limited Partners will materially
further restrict the Limited Partners' abilities to find purchasers for their
Units.
The Units are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, which
means, among other things, that the Partnership is required to file periodic
reports with the Commission and to comply with the Commission's proxy rules. The
Purchaser does not expect or intend that consummation of the Offer will cause
the Units to cease to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. If
the Units were to be held by fewer than 300 persons, the Partnership could apply
to de-register the Units under the Exchange Act. Because the Units are widely
held, however, the Purchaser believes it is unlikely that the Units will be held
of record by less than 300 persons following the purchase of Units tendered
pursuant to the Offer.
In the Purchaser's capacity as a Limited Partner of the Partnership, the
Purchaser will participate in any subsequent distributions to Limited Partners
to the extent of the Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.
SECTION 8. FUTURE PLANS OF THE PURCHASER.
Future Plans. Although the Purchaser is making the Offer for investment
purposes and with a view to making a profit, it may, based upon the number of
Units it currently owns (together with an affiliate) and the number of Units it
acquires pursuant to the Offer, be in a position to influence control of the
Partnership and to influence voting decisions with respect to the Partnership.
8
<PAGE>
The Purchaser is currently assessing the feasibility of removing the
Partnership's general partner and/or McREMI. Removal of the Partnership's
general partner requires the vote of Limited Partners holding a majority of the
Units. Removal of the Partnership's general partner and/or McREMI may, under
certain circumstances, require the Partnership to make certain payments to the
Partnership's general partner and/or its affiliates (including McREMI)
(collectively, the "Termination Payments") and may result in acceleration of
certain of the Partnership's debt obligations and/or the Partnership's
incurrence of expenses pursuant to provisions of such debt obligations, which
may have an adverse effect on the Partnership. If the Purchaser concludes that
it is feasible to remove the Partnership's general partner and/or McREMI or
otherwise take action which would result in the Partnership's general partner
and/or McREMI ceasing to act in their current capacities (such removal or
cessation, a "Termination") without the imposition of Termination Payments, it
will seek to do so. Absent the feasibility of the foregoing, the Purchaser will
consider whether or not to seek Termination of the Partnership's general partner
and/or McREMI. In connection with any such determination, the Purchaser will
consider the overall costs associated with such Termination. In connection with
any attempted Termination of the Partnership's general partner or McREMI, the
Purchaser will seek its appointment or the appointment of another party as the
successor general partner of the Partnership or the property manager of the
Partnership, as the case may be. The Purchaser has not previously acted as the
general partner or property manager of a limited partnership, such as the
Partnership, which is engaged in the business of owning real estate and has not,
at this time, sought to negotiate any arrangements with other parties to act in
such capacities.
Following the completion of the Offer, the Purchaser and/or persons related
to or affiliated with it may acquire additional Units or may sell Units. Any
acquisition may be made through private purchases, through one or more future
tender or exchange offers or by any other means deemed advisable. Any
acquisition may be at a price higher or lower than the price to be paid for the
Units purchased pursuant to the Offer, and may be for cash or other
consideration. The Purchaser also may consider selling some or all of the Units
it currently owns or acquires pursuant to the Offer to persons not yet
determined, which may include the Partnership's general partner and/or an
affiliate of the Partnership's general partner.
The Schofield Litigation. James F. Schofield, Gerald C. Gillett and Donna
S. Gillett have instituted class and derivative actions (collectively, the
"Schofield Litigation") in Superior Court of the State of California for the
County of Los Angeles and United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York against the general partner of the Partnership, its corporate
general partner, McREMI and Robert A. McNeil and Carole J. McNeil (the
"McNeils"), the Chairman and Co-Chairman, respectively, of the corporate general
partner of the Partnership's general partner (collectively, the "Defendants"),
together with the Partnership and fourteen other related partnerships
(collectively, the "Partnerships") as nominal defendants, alleging that the
Defendants have breached their fiduciary duty. Specifically, the Plaintiffs
allege that the Defendants have caused the Partnerships to enter into several
wasteful transactions that have no business purpose or benefit to the
Partnerships and that have rendered the Units highly illiquid and artificially
depressed the prices that are available for Units on the limited resale market.
Plaintiffs also allege that Defendants have engaged in a course of conduct to
prevent the acquisition of Units by Mr. Icahn by disseminating false, misleading
and inadequate information. Plaintiffs further allege that Defendants have acted
to advance their own personal interests at the expense of the Partnerships'
public Unit holders by failing to sell Partnership properties and failing to
make distributions to holders of Units and, thereby, have breached the
Partnership Agreements.
The Purchaser entered into a letter agreement (the "August 2 Agreement")
with Herbert Beigel, plaintiffs' counsel ("Plaintiffs' Counsel") in the
Schofield Litigation, on August 2, 1996 and amended the August 2 Agreement on
September 19, 1996 (the August 2 Agreement, as so amended, the "Letter
Agreement"). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, among other things, the Purchaser
agreed to commence tender offers (the "Tender Offers") within the next six
months for any and all outstanding Units of the Partnership and eight of the
other Partnerships. The Letter Agreement provides, among other things, that (i)
the Purchaser will commence, as soon as possible, but in no event in more than
six months, Tender Offers for any and all of the outstanding Units of such
Partnerships at a price that is not less than 75% of the estimated liquidation
value of the Units, which Tender Offers may be subject to such other terms and
conditions as the Purchaser determines in its sole discretion; (ii) in the event
that the Purchaser attains the positions of general partner in any of such
Partnerships: (a) the Purchaser will take all actions necessary to cause a 25%
reduction of fees of such Partnership(s), including the current management
incentive distribution fee, (b) the Purchaser will not cause such Partnership(s)
to take any action to discontinue the Schofield Litigation with respect to those
claims asserted against the general partner which seek the receipt by the
Partnerships of monies that the general partner claims it is owed
9
<PAGE>
by the Partnerships and monies previously paid by the Partnerships to the
general partner and its affiliates for fees they claimed were owed under the
Partnership Agreements (the "Receivable Claims"), and (c) the Purchaser and
Plaintiffs' Counsel will in good faith execute an appropriate Stipulation of
Settlement based upon the terms of the Letter Agreement, which stipulation shall
not include a settlement or provide a release of the Receivable Claims; and
(iii) from and after the date of the Letter Agreement, Plaintiffs' Counsel will
not enter into any settlement of the claims asserted in the Schofield Litigation
which does not provide for all of the consideration contained in that certain
demand letter, dated June 24, 1996 (the "Demand Letter"), sent by Plaintiffs'
Counsel to counsel for the Partnerships in the Schofield Litigation. Such
consideration consists of: (a) the general partner or its affiliates causing a
25% reduction of all general partner fees, including the management distribution
fees, that are currently payable by such Partnership(s) to the general partner
of such Partnership(s) and/or its affiliates; (b) the general partners waiving
all claims for outstanding receivables claimed to be owed to them by the
Partnership(s) and returning to the Partnerships all receivables actually paid
in the last two years; and (c) the Defendants in the Schofield Litigation
providing a liquidity option for the Limited Partners of such Partnerships by
commencing, or causing the general partners to take all steps to solicit third
parties to commence, tender offers for any and all, but in no event less than
40%, of the outstanding Unit of such Partnerships in an amount that exceeds the
prices paid for the previous tender offers commenced by the Purchaser. The
August 2 Agreement and Demand Letter were described in and filed as exhibits to
an amendment to the Purchaser's Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D Amendment")
relating to the Partnership filed with the Commission on August 5, 1996. See
Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase.
SECTION 9. CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PARTNERSHIP.
Information contained in this Section 9 is based upon documents and reports
publicly filed by the Partnership. Although the Purchaser has no information
that any statements contained in this Section 9 are untrue, the Purchaser cannot
take responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any information
contained in this Section 9 or for any failure by the Partnership to disclose
events which may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of
any such information but which are unknown to the Purchaser.

- ----------
(a) The debt is non-recourse to the Partnership.
(b) Mortgage discounts are based on an effective interest rate of 8.62%.
(c) The mortgage encumbering Sheraton Hills Apartments, contains provisions
which may give the lender the right to accelerate the mortgage debt as a
result of the November 12, 1991, restructuring of the Partnership. The
General Partner has requested that the lender waive its right to accelerate
the mortgage debt. The lender may require the payment of fees or additional
interest as a condition to granting such a waiver. In the event the waiver
is not obtained and the mortgage debt is accelerated, the Partnership would
be required to satisfy the outstanding mortgage debt, which totaled $838,674
at December 31, 1995. In such event, the Partnership will attempt to arrange
alternative sources of mortgage financing. However, such refinancing may be
at an interest rate which is higher or is otherwise on terms which are less
favorable than those provided for by the current mortgage. Furthermore, if
alternative financing cannot be obtained, the lender could foreclose on
Sheraton Hills Apartments. Management believes the likelihood of this
outcome is remote and accordingly has not reflected this balance as
currently due.
(d) The Sheraton Hills mortgage note bears interest at a variable rate, adjusted
at six-month intervals equal to the six-month treasury bill weekly average
rate plus 3.0% per annum, not to exceed 12.75% per annum. The monthly
payment is also adjusted each six months so that the mortgage note will
fully amortize over a period of 30 years. At December 31, 1995, the interest
rate was 8.63% and the monthly payment was $23,748.

COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS.
A strong local economy has benefitted Berkley Hills Apartments. The
property increased rental rates 6% over 1994 levels, in line with averages for
the local area. Occupancy rates, too, have been comparable with the property's
competition. Capital improvements at Berkley Hills have allowed the property to
remain competitive with nearby apartment communities. The strong local economy,
and the high occupancy rates are prompting new construction in the area; but to
date, the new construction has not been located near Berkley Hills, and has been
targeted to upscale single residents while Berkley Hills targets middle class
families and singles.
Cherry Hills Apartments is one of Wichita's finer apartment communities in
terms of interior and exterior appearance. The well-maintained property's
occupancy rate is several points above the average occupancy rate of its
competitors. Rental rates, also, have typically been higher than the rates
charged by the property's competitors. The Wichita area, however, has been a
difficult market for apartment communities. Nearby McConnell Air Force Base has
constructed new housing facilities for military personnel, upon which Cherry
Hills relies for many of its tenants. Cuts in military spending may also impact
McConnell Air Force Base and thereby impact Cherry Hills.
Forest Park Village Apartments is currently in the midst of a four-year
capital improvement program. Exterior renovations are largely complete, and
interior upgrades are in process. The capital program is needed to allow the
property to compete with numerous other apartment communities in the Northeast
Columbus submarket. Forest Park Village represents a common property in the
submarket, with no distinguishing characteristics other than basements in all
its units. The submarket is very competitive, and many of the competing
properties have been renovated in the past few years. The capital program will
allow Forest Park Village to maintain its competitiveness;occupancy rate stood
at 92% at year end. Occupancy rates in the submarket in which the property is
located range from 92% to 95%. Forest Park Village represents a common property
in the submarket, with no distinguishing characteristics other than basements in
all its units. The submarket is very competitive, with many apartment
communities competing for tenants. Many of the competing properties have been
renovated in the past few years. To maintain its position in the submarket,
Forest Park Village will need to be renovated as well.
Occupancy rates at Heather Square Apartments typically run 2 or 3
percentage points above the market due to the excellent curb appeal of the
property. The property also is able to command rental rates slightly higher than
most of its competition. Competition is mixed in the Dallas submarket where
Heather Square is located. As long as the local economy remains strong, it is
anticipated that the property will do well in competition with both older
properties and new construction under development. Annual absorption of
apartment units has roughly equalled newly constructed units the past two years.
Lantern Tree Apartments has maintained occupancy and rental rates higher
than its competition due to spacious and attractive floor plans. The average
area occupancy rate is 95%, but Lantern Tree usually exceeds that level.
Depending on the size of the unit, rent per square foot at Lantern Tree averages
13% to 30% higher than its competition. The property appeals to single,
upper-middle class residents. The principal competitive disadvantage of the
property is that its location is set back from the main thoroughfare reducing
its drive-by visibility.
The economy in Meridian West Apartments' submarket has improved during the
past year. The area's major employer, Boeing, has increased its activity in the
area. As a result, rental and occupancy rates in the area are on the upswing.
Meridian West's occupancy rate improved in 1995 over 1994. Management plans to
increase rental rates and eliminate discounts in 1996. Meridian West competes
primarily with better quality apartment communities, and thus the Partnership
generally expects rental and occupancy rates lower than local market rates.
Capital improvements placed in service during 1995 and 1994 were critical to
allow the property to compete effectively with its better-quality competition.
Occupancy rates at Pennbrook Apartments are in-line with the 95% average of
the submarket where the property is located. Extensive capital improvements
during 1991-1993 have positioned the property to compete effectively for the
middle-class, single residents that dominate its resident profile. The Dallas
market is expected to remain strong. For the past two years, new apartment
construction has roughly equaled the number of apartment units absorbed by the
market. Absorption is expected to lag construction in 1996, but the surplus will
likely be limited to newer, high-quality apartment properties and should have
little effect on Pennbrook. Pennbrook has been well maintained, and should
compete effectively with the newer developments.
Rockborough Apartments boasts excellent curb appeal, which has enabled the
property to maintain occupancy levels a few percentage points above the 94%
market average. Rockborough compares well to the established
18
<PAGE>
apartment communities in the area. New construction is going in the area, but at
rental rates substantially higher than the rates charged at Rockborough. The
Dallas area economy is expected to remain strong. New apartment construction is
expected to exceed absorption in 1996, but the surplus units will likely be
limited to newer, high-quality apartment properties and should have little
effect on Pennbrook.
The area surrounding Rolling Hills Apartments is experiencing strong
growth. Capital improvements at Rolling Hills the past two years have upgraded
the property to compete more effectively with the high-quality apartment
communities in the immediate area. Rolling Hills offers the largest floor plans
in the area. The interiors of the units are dated, necessitating scheduled 1996
improvements to unit interiors. Occupancy rates are comparable to the market's
96% average, but average rental rates are lower than the market. Rolling Hills
is a good quality property competing against even-better quality properties.
Ruskin Place Apartments has steadily improved its performance over the past
several years despite competitive pressures from newer apartment properties. The
newer properties, and new construction in progress, have put upward pressure on
local rental rates. Ruskin Place Apartments has been able to offer its units at
lower, but still rising rental rates. This trend is expected to continue given
the population increases and stable economic conditions in the local area.
The Nashville economy is expected to remain strong through 1997, and
developers are planning new apartment projects in the area of Sheraton Hills
Apartments. Older properties, such as Sheraton Hills, have been able to increase
rental rates an average of 6% to 7% since 1993. Although Sheraton Hills will not
compete directly with the new construction, the new construction will tend to
slow the increases in rental rates that older properties may expect in coming
years. The capital improvements placed in service at Sheraton Hills over the
past two years allow the property to compete effectively against older
properties in the area.
Westgate Apartments is in need of extensive capital improvements to compete
effectively with other area apartment properties. The exterior and interiors of
the units are dated and unattractive. Occupancy rates are averaging six
percentage points lower than competing properties, and rental rates are
averaging approximately 85% of the average rental rates charged by competing
properties. Nine percent of Westgate's units are three and four bedroom floor
plans, which are the only three and four bedroom units in the area. The property
also has a good location in a desirable school district.
The economy of the Fort Worth sub-market where Westridge Apartments is
located remains weak due to the closing of nearby Carswell Air Force Base and
layoffs at Lockheed. Weakness in the area economy has prevented any meaningful
rental increases since 1990. Westridge is well maintained and offers attractive
floor plans. The occupancy rate has averaged 5 percentage points higher than
competitive properties in the area.
The physical condition of Williamsburg Apartments is good, with only minor
capital improvements needed. The property offers attractive floor plans with
interiors that are being upgraded with new fixtures. The Shreveport market has
experienced modest improvement over the past three years. Nearby Barksdale Air
Force Base and a growing gambling industry provide the employment base for many
of the property's tenants. The occupancy rate at Williamsburg usually exceeds
market occupancy rates by two percentage points due to its excellent curb
appeal. New apartment developments within a mile of the property are a concern.
Additional information concerning the Partnership, its assets, operations
and management is contained in its annual reports on the Form 10-K and quarterly
reports on the Form 10-Q and other filings with the Commission. Such reports and
filings are available for inspection at the Commission's principal office in
Washington, D.C., and at its regional offices in New York, New York and Chicago,
Illinois.
SECTION 10. VOTING BY THE PURCHASER.
Based upon the number of Units it currently owns (together with an
affiliate) and the number of Units it acquires pursuant to the Offer, the
Purchaser may be in a position to influence control of the Partnership and to
influence voting decisions with respect to the Partnership and the Purchaser may
seek to remove the Partnership's general partner and McREMI. Under the
Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners holding a majority of the Units are
entitled to remove the Partnership's general partner at any time for cause and,
beginning on November 12, 1995, without cause. Such removal may require the
Partnership to pay a fee and other payments to the Partnership's general partner
and/or its affiliates and may result in acceleration of certain of the
Partnership's debt obligations and/or the Partnership's
19
<PAGE>
incurrence of expenses pursuant to provisions of such debt obligations, which
may have an adverse effect on the Partnership. See Section 8 of the Offer to
Purchase. In addition, Limited Partners holding a majority of the Units, with
the concurrence of the Partnership's general partner, are entitled to take
action with respect to a variety of matters, including dissolution of the
Partnership and most types of amendments to the Partnership Agreement, but the
Purchaser has no present intention of doing so.
Reorganization Transactions require a Supermajority Vote (as those terms
are defined in the Partnership Agreement) and the consent of the Partnership's
general partner prior to effectuation. Generally, "Reorganization Transactions"
are defined as transactions in connection with which any Limited Partners will
be issued securities of any other entity in exchange for, or as a distribution
with respect to, Units; "Supermajority Vote" is defined as the vote of the
Limited Partners who own more than 80% of the total outstanding Units excluding
Units held by Interested Persons; and "Interested Persons" are defined as, among
others, persons who beneficially own 10% or more of the outstanding Units,
excluding certain affiliates of the Partnership's general partner.
SECTION 11. INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PURCHASER AND CERTAIN AFFILIATES

SECTION 12. SOURCE OF FUNDS.
The Purchaser expects that approximately $18,366,840 will be required to
purchase 102,038 Units (consisting of the aggregate number of outstanding Units
as of February 16, 1996, net of Units owned by the Purchaser and its affiliate),
if tendered (exclusive of related fees and expenses). The Purchaser will obtain
all of those funds from its liquid assets.
SECTION 13. BACKGROUND OF THE OFFER.
Prior Contacts with the Partnership. On or about July 27, 1995, the McNeils
and Mr. Icahn spoke by telephone. Mr. Icahn told the McNeils that he had been
informed that they were interested in selling the Partnership's general partner.
The McNeils said that they were not interested in selling the Partnership's
general partner but urged Mr. Icahn to contact their counsel, Scott Wallace. In
the conversation with the McNeils, Mr. Icahn indicated that he intended to make
a tender offer for Units and a joint tender offer was discussed. No agreements
were reached. In the days that followed up to on or about August 1, 1995, Mr.
Icahn participated in several telephone conversations with Mr. Wallace. The same
subjects were explored and Mr. Icahn confirmed his intention to conduct a tender
offer for Units. Again, no agreements were reached. One of these conversations,
which took place on or about August 1, 1995 among Scott Wallace, Mr. Icahn and a
former counsel for the Partnership, became a subject of the litigation described
below.
The Purchaser commenced a tender offer to purchase Units in the Partnership
and nine other Partnerships on August 4, 1995 (the "1995 Offer" and together
with the Purchaser's tender offers to purchase Units of the other Partnerships,
the "1995 Offers"). On August 9, 1995, the McNeils delivered a letter to the
Purchaser claiming that the former counsel divulged confidential information
concerning the McNeils' personal tax situation during the August 1, 1995
telephone conversation, that the 1995 Offers were based on confidential
information and that the Partnership would not mail the 1995 Offers unless the
Purchaser and Mr. Icahn signed a certificate concerning the purported
confidential information. On August 10, 1995, the Purchaser commenced an action
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the
"District Court") against the Partnership's general partner, its corporate
general partner, and the McNeils (collectively "Management"), as well as the
Partnership and the other Partnerships (collectively with Management, the
"Defendants") alleging Management breaches of fiduciary duty and that the
Defendants' failure to mail the 1995 Offers violated the Securities and Exchange
Commission's Rule 14d-5. On that same day, the District Court, upon the
Purchaser's application, issued a preliminary injunction against the Defendants
and ordered the Defendants to either furnish the Purchaser with a list of the
names and addresses of the Limited Partners or mail the Offer to the Limited
Partners on the Purchaser's behalf. The Defendants elected to mail. On August
16, 1995, the Partnership, through its counsel, declined the Purchaser's request
for a list of the Limited Partners, stating that the list was confidential and
since the Purchaser was not a Limited Partner, such information was not required
to be provided under applicable law. On August 17, 1995, the Purchaser sent a
letter to the Partnership's general partner requesting that the general partner
agree to cooperate in satisfying certain conditions of the 1995 Offers and to
facilitate the transfer of Units. On August 18, 1995, the Defendants served and
filed a Counterclaim and Answer (the "Counterclaim"). Defendants' Counterclaim
sought an injunction and alleged that the 1995 Offers were made in violation of
federal securities laws because, among other things, they failed to disclose
that the Purchaser based its Offers on confidential information. This action was
dismissed without prejudice in November 1995.
In November 1995, the Purchaser filed a second complaint in the District
Court alleging, among other things, that the Schedule 14d-9 filed by the
Partnership's general partner in connection with the 1995 Offers was materially
false and misleading in violation of federal securities laws and that the
general partner wrongfully refused to admit the Purchaser as a limited partner
to the Partnership and other Partnerships and asserting certain derivative
claims on behalf of the Partnership and certain of the other Partnerships. The
general partner subsequently admitted the Purchaser as a limited partner of the
Partnership and such other Partnerships. This action was dismissed without
prejudice on January 31, 1996.
On August 22 and 23, 1995, Mr. Icahn and a representative met with the
McNeils and their representatives regarding possible settlement of the pending
litigation respecting the 1995 Offers. Those discussions involved, among other
things, the possibility of a transaction pursuant to which Mr. Icahn or his
affiliates would acquire substantially all of the interest in the Partnership's
general partner and would acquire McREMI.
In connection with those settlement discussions, the Partnership's general
partner and the Purchaser agreed to a standstill arrangement whereby, among
other things, the Purchaser agreed to extend the expiration date of the 1995
23
<PAGE>
Offers and the Purchaser and its affiliates were permitted to conduct
reasonable due diligence (the "Due Diligence") with respect to the Partnership's
general partner, the Partnerships and their affiliates (subject to certain
confidentiality obligations). The Purchaser, Mr. Icahn and their affiliates also
agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that, prior to August 24, 1996, they
would not attempt to acquire any securities of partnerships (other than the
Partnerships) controlled by Robert A. McNeil, or propose to enter into business
combinations with them or make proxy solicitations with respect thereto.
From late August through September 19, 1995, representatives of Mr. Icahn
engaged in a "due diligence" review of certain non-public information regarding
McREMI, the Partnership's general partner, the Partnerships and their
affiliates, involving meetings with senior management and others, telephone
conferences and the exchange and review of documents.
Between August 24 and September 19, 1995, Mr. Icahn and representatives of
Mr. Icahn and his affiliates (including the Purchaser) and the McNeils, the
Partnership's general partner and their representatives engaged in ongoing
negotiations involving, among other things, discussion of: (i) a transaction in
which an affiliate of Mr. Icahn would acquire substantially all of the interests
in the Partnership's general partner and would acquire McREMI; (ii) potential
modifications to the outstanding 1995 Offers; (iii) cooperation to be provided
by the Partnership's general partner to facilitate the 1995 Offers; and (iv)
agreements with respect to settlement of outstanding litigation, both among the
parties and against the Partnership's general partner, McREMI and Mr. and Mrs.
McNeil, among others, instituted following the commencement of the 1995 Offers.
The negotiations and due diligence review involved extensive discussion of and
negotiation concerning many facets of the financial condition, tax aspects,
operations, and business of McREMI, the Partnership's general partner, the
Partnerships and their affiliates. On September 19, 1995, these negotiations
reached an impasse and were discontinued. Additional conversations after that
date failed to result in a resumption of negotiations.
On August 12, 1996, in anticipation of the commencement of the Offer and
Tender Offers for Units of certain other Partnerships, the Purchaser sent a
letter to the Partnership and the other Partnerships requesting lists of the
names, current residence or business addresses and certain other information
concerning the Limited Partners of the Partnership and such other Partnerships.
On August 19, 1996, the Partnerships commenced an action against the Purchaser,
Mr. Icahn and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the "Purchaser
Defendants") in United States District Court for the Central District of
California (the "California Federal Action") seeking, among other things, to
declare that the Partnerships are not required to provide the Purchaser with a
current list of the Limited Partners on the grounds that the Purchaser
Defendants commenced a tender offer in violation of the federal securities laws
by filing the Schedule 13D Amendment on August 5, 1996. See Section 8 of the
Offer to Purchase. On August 19, 1996, the Partnerships, through their counsel,
responded to the Purchaser's August 12 letter by refusing to provide the
Purchaser with a current list of the Limited Partners for the reasons set forth
above.
On August 23, 1996, the Purchaser Defendants filed, among other documents,
(a) an answer to the Partnerships' complaint in the California Federal Action
denying the allegations contained therein and asserting four affirmative
defenses; (b) a counterclaim seeking, among other things, injunctive relief
requiring the Partnerships to either make available to the Purchaser a copy of
the lists of Limited Partners or grant the Purchaser permission to inspect and
copy such lists; and (c) an application for a temporary restraining order
("TRO") and a preliminary injunction seeking access to the lists of Limited
Partners. On September 6, 1996, the Purchaser Defendants' TRO application was
denied. On September 12, 1996, the Partnerships filed an answer to the Purchaser
Defendants' counterclaim asserting six affirmative defenses and alleging that
the Purchaser Defendants were denied access to the lists of Limited Partners
because their requests for the lists were in connection with illegal tender
offers. Discovery is currently underway in the California Federal Action and the
matter is expected to go to trial in mid-October 1996.
Trading History of the Units. The Trading Summary for the period April 1,
1996 through May 30, 1996 ("Summary Period") appearing in the May/June 1996
issue of the Partnership Spectrum ("Trading Summary") indicated that, during the
Summary Period, an aggregate of 120 Units were traded in a total of 8 trades at
a price range of $125 to $143.36 per Unit and at a weighted average of $139.29
per Unit. Limited Partners should be aware that the Form 10-K states as follows:
"[t]here is no established public trading market for limited partnership units
nor is one expected to develop." Therefore, the prices reflected in the Trading
Summary may not accurately reflect the value of the Partnership's assets or of
Units, and Limited Partners may or may not be able to sell their Units
independently of the Offer at the prices reflected in the Trading Summary.
Limited Partners should be aware that the Purchase Price in
24
<PAGE>
the Offer is approximately 29% higher than the weighted average price for the
Summary Period, as reflected in the Trading Summary.
Determination of the Purchase Price. As described in Section 8 of the Offer
to Purchase, the Purchaser agreed, in the Letter Agreement, to commence a Tender
Offer for any and all Units of the Partnership (and certain other Partnerships)
at a price that is not less than 75% of the estimated liquidation value of the
Units. The Purchase Price represents 75% of the Purchaser's estimate of the
Units' liquidation value, as determined using the methodology described below.
In estimating liquidation value per Unit, the Purchaser first estimated net
asset value ("NAV Estimate"). The Purchaser prepared its NAV Estimate based on a
hypothetical sale (without taking into account any transaction costs) of all of
the Partnership's properties at their estimated aggregate value and the
distribution to the partners of the gross proceeds of that sale (net of existing
indebtedness), together with the Partnership's cash and proceeds from temporary
investments. The NAV Estimate prepared by the Purchaser does not take into
account: (i) real estate transaction costs that would be incurred on a sale of
the Partnership's properties, such as brokerage commissions and other selling
and closing expenses; (ii)timing considerations; or (iii) costs associated with
winding up the Partnership.
The Purchaser estimated the aggregate value of the Partnership's properties
in a hypothetical sale by reviewing publicly available financial information
relating to the Partnership for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 and six
months ended June 30, 1996, in order to determine an adjusted net income
(reduced by an amount intended to reflect normal capital expenditures and
operating expenses) of $8,219,635, and then capitalized that amount at 10.5%,
which the Purchaser believes represents an appropriate capitalization rate for a
real estate portfolio such as the Partnership's. A sale of one of the
Partnership's assets occurred subsequent to June 30, 1996. Since the financial
information relating to the Partnership for the six month period ending June 30,
1996 did not reflect this event, the Purchaser made certain adjustments to its
estimated NAV which included deducting the selling price, and adding cash
proceeds and the mortgage receivable to its estimated NAV. As a result of that
review process, the Purchaser derived an NAV Estimate of $29,073,125, or $263.89
per Unit (which includes cash and cash equivalents equal to approximately
$2,880,314 or $26.14 per Unit). It should be noted that, while the Purchaser has
access to certain non-public information ("Due Diligence Information") relating
to the Partnership and its properties provided to it in 1995 in connection with
its Due Diligence (as described above in this Section 13 under "Prior Contacts
with the Partnership"), the Purchaser does not have access to more current
information concerning the Partnership or its properties, other than information
that is publicly available, that the Purchaser's calculations are based on rough
estimates and that the values resulting therefrom may not be indicative of
actual values to any extent. It should also be noted that investors may disagree
as to the appropriate capitalization rate to be applied, and Limited Partners
are advised that the utilization of a lower capitalization rate results in a
higher estimate of aggregate value.
In estimating liquidation value per Unit, the Purchaser adjusted its NAV
Estimate by deducting from that amount a reserve equal to 4% of the projected
property selling prices, which represents the Purchaser's estimate of the
estimated costs of brokerage commissions, title costs, legal fees, real estate
transfer taxes and other disposition expenses (assuming no prepayment penalties
on indebtedness encumbering the properties). The Purchaser further adjusted its
NAV Estimate to reflect the Partnership's other assets (excluding prepaid and
deferred expenses) and liabilities. Specifically, the Purchaser added the
amounts of cash segregated for security deposits, insurance proceeds receivable,
accounts receivable and escrow deposits shown on the Partnership's unaudited
balance sheet at June 30, 1996 and subtracted accounts payable, accrued property
taxes, accrued interest, other accrued expenses and security deposits and
deferred rental revenue. The result of $239.82 per Unit represents the
Purchaser's estimate of the aggregate net liquidating proceeds (before provision
for the costs described in the following sentence) that could be realized in an
orderly liquidation of the Partnership, based on the assumptions implicit in the
calculations described above. The Purchaser did not deduct any amounts in
respect of the costs of conducting a consent solicitation in order to obtain the
Limited Partners' approvals for the sales, as may be required by the Partnership
Agreement, or winding up the Partnership, because of the difficulty of
estimating those amounts.
The Purchaser's analysis of liquidation value described above is merely
theoretical and does not itself reflect the value of the Units because (i) there
is no assurance that any such liquidation in fact will occur in the foreseeable
future and (ii) any liquidation in which the estimated fair market values
described above might be realized would take an extended period of time (at
least a year, and quite possibly significantly longer), during which the
Partnership and its partners would continue to be exposed to the risk of
fluctuations in asset values because of changing market conditions and other
factors. For any property sales in which the Partnership is required to
indemnify the buyer for
25
<PAGE>
matters arising after the closing, a portion of the sales proceeds could be held
by the Partnership until all possible claims were satisfied, further extending
the delay in the receipt by the Limited Partners of liquidating proceeds.
Because of these factors, the Purchaser believes the actual current value of a
Unit may be substantially less than its estimate of the liquidation value.
Conversely, there is a substantial likelihood that the value realizable in an
orderly liquidation could be greater than the estimated liquidation value. A
reduction in either operating expenses or capital expenditures would result in
a higher liquidation value under the method described above. Similarly, a higher
liquidation value would result if a buyer applied lower capitalization rates
(reflecting a willingness to accept a lower rate of return on its investment) to
the net operating income generated by the Partnership's properties than the
capitalization rates applied by the Purchaser. Furthermore, the analysis
described above is based on a series of assumptions, some of which may not be
correct. Accordingly, this analysis should be viewed merely as indicative of the
Purchaser's approach to valuing Units and not as any way predictive of the
likely result of any future transactions.
SECTION 14. CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.
Notwithstanding any other term of the Offer, the Purchaser will not be
required to accept for payment or to pay for any Units tendered if all

<PAGE>
(e) the Partnership's general partner shall not have consented in
writing to, and shall not have taken all other action that the Purchaser
deems necessary, in the Purchaser's judgment, for the admission of the
Purchaser to the Partnership, simultaneously with the consummation of the
Offer, as a substitute Limited Partner in respect of the Units purchased in
accordance with the Partnership Agreement and applicable law;
(f) the Partnership's general partner shall not have furnished to the
Purchaser such information as is necessary, in the Purchaser's judgment, to
verify that the person purporting to transfer Units to the Purchaser
pursuant to the Offer is in fact the owner of such Units as reflected on
the Partnership's books and records;
(g) the Partnership's general partner shall have caused the
Partnership to impose unreasonable transfer, substitution or similar fees,
including, without limitation, those that would otherwise apply to: (i) the
tender of Units by holders pursuant to the Offer, (ii) the transfer of such
Units to the Purchaser and (iii) the admission of the Purchaser as a
substitute Limited Partner in respect of such Units;
(h) there shall have been threatened, instituted or pending any action
or proceeding before any court or governmental agency or other regulatory

(j) a tender offer or exchange offer for some or all of the Units is
made or publicly announced or proposed to be made, supplemented or amended
by any person other than the Purchaser; or
(k) the general partner of the Partnership shall have modified, or
taken any step or steps to modify, in any way, the procedures or
regulations applicable to the registration of Units or transfers of Units
on the books and records of the Partnership or the admission of transferees

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of the Purchaser and may
be asserted by the Purchaser regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such
conditions or may be waived by the Purchaser in whole or in part at any time and
from time to time in its sole discretion. Any determination by the Purchaser
concerning the events described above will be final and binding upon all
parties. If the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, waives the condition
contained in the foregoing paragraph (g), then the Purchaser will, to the extent
of such waiver, pay all applicable fees referred to in such paragraph. No
assurance can be given that the Partnership's general partner will voluntarily
take the actions referred to in paragraphs (e) and (f). Accordingly, in order to
cause the Partnership's general partner to take such actions, the Purchaser may
be required to take appropriate actions, including, without limitation, the
commencement of litigation, the effect of which may be to delay payment for
tendered Units (except to the extent, if any, that the Purchaser waives the
applicable conditions).
SECTION 15. CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS.
General. Except as set forth in this Section 15, the Purchaser is not,
based on its review of publicly available filings by the Partnership with the
Commission and other publicly available information regarding the Partnership,
aware of any licenses or regulatory permits that would be material to the
business of the Partnership, taken as a whole, and that might be adversely
affected by the Purchaser's acquisition of Units as contemplated herein, or any
filings, approvals or other actions by or with any domestic or foreign
governmental authority or administrative or regulatory agency that would be
required prior to the acquisition of Units by the Purchaser pursuant to the
Offer as contemplated herein. While there is no present intent to delay the
purchase of Units tendered pursuant to the Offer pending receipt of any such
additional approval or the taking of any such action, there can be no assurance
that any such additional approval or action, if needed, would be obtained
without substantial conditions or that adverse consequences might not result to
the Partnership's business, or that certain parts of the Partnership's business
might not have to be disposed
27
<PAGE>
of or other substantial conditions complied with in order to obtain such
approval or action, any of which could cause the Purchaser to elect to terminate
the Offer without purchasing Units thereunder. The Purchaser's obligation to
purchase and pay for Units is subject to certain conditions, including
conditions related to the legal matters discussed in this Section 15 of the
Offer to Purchase.
Antitrust. The Purchaser does not believe that the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the acquisition
of Units contemplated by the Offer.
Margin Requirements. The Units are not "margin securities" under the
regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and,
accordingly, those regulations generally are not applicable to the Offer.
State Laws. The Purchaser is not aware of any jurisdiction in which the
making of the Offer is not in compliance with applicable law. If the Purchaser
becomes aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer would not be
in compliance with applicable law, the Purchaser will make a good faith effort
to comply with any such law. If, after such good faith effort, the Purchaser
cannot comply with any such law, the Offer will not be made to (nor will tenders
be accepted from or on behalf of) Limited Partners residing in such
jurisdiction. In those jurisdictions whose securities or blue sky laws require
the Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Offer shall be made on
behalf of the Purchaser, if at all, only by one or more registered brokers or
dealers licensed under the laws of that jurisdiction.
SECTION 16. FEES AND EXPENSES.
Except as set forth in this Section 16, the Purchaser will not pay any fees
or commissions to any broker, dealer or other person for soliciting tenders of
Units pursuant to the Offer. The Purchaser has retained IBJ Schroder Bank &
Trust Company to act as Depositary and Beacon Hill Partners, Inc. to act as
Information Agent in connection with the Offer. The Purchaser will pay the
Depositary and Information Agent reasonable and customary compensation for their
services in connection with the Offer, plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket
expenses, and will indemnify the Depositary and Information Agent against
certain liabilities and expenses in connection therewith, including liabilities
under the federal securities laws. The Purchaser will also pay all costs and
expenses of printing and mailing the Offer and its legal fees and expenses.
No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any
representation on behalf of the Purchaser not contained herein or in the
Assignment of Partnership Interest and, if given or made, such information or
representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized.
The Purchaser has filed with the Commission a Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 (including exhibits), pursuant to Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange
Act, furnishing certain additional information with respect to the Offer, and
may file amendments thereto. The Schedule 14D-1 and any amendments thereto,
including exhibits, may be inspected and copies may be obtained at the same
places and in the same manner as set forth in the Introduction of the Offer to
Purchase (except that they will not be available at the regional offices of the
Commission).
