THE OFFER, WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS AND PRORATION PERIOD WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT,
PACIFIC STANDARD TIME, ON AUGUST 24, 1996, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED.
Moraga Fund 1, L.P., Cal Kan, Inc. and Accelerated High Yield
Institutional Investors, L.P. (together the "Purchasers") hereby offer to
purchase up to 13,750 Units of limited partnership interest (the "Units") in
Carlyle Real Estate Limited Partnership - IX, an Illinois limited partnership
(the "Partnership"), at a purchase price equal to $70 per Unit, less the amount
of any distributions declared or made with respect to the Units between July 24,
1996 (the "Offer Date") and August 24, 1996, or such other date to which this
Offer may be extended (the "Expiration Date"), in cash, without interest, upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase (the
"Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of Transmittal, as each may be
supplemented or amended from time to time (which together constitute the
"Offer"). The 13,750 Units sought pursuant to the Offer represent approximately
25% of the Units outstanding as of December 31, 1995. None of the Purchasers or
their affiliates are affiliated with the Partnership or its general partner.
Holders of Units ("Unitholders") are urged to consider the
following factors:
- The purchase price offered by the Purchasers is less than
the approximately $79 per Unit estimated by the Purchasers
to be the estimated liquidation value of the underlying
assets of the Partnership as of December 31, 1995.
- Unitholders who tender their Units will give up the
opportunity to participate in any future benefits from the
ownership of Units, including potential future
distributions by the Partnership, and the purchase price
per Unit payable to a tendering Unitholder by the
Purchasers may be less than the total amount which might
otherwise be received by the Unitholder with respect to the
Unit over the remaining term of the Partnership.
<PAGE>
- The Purchasers are making the Offer for investment purposes
and with the intention of making a profit from the
ownership of the Units. In establishing the purchase price
of $70 per Unit, the Purchasers are motivated to establish
the lowest price which might be acceptable to Unitholders
consistent with the Purchasers' objectives.
- As a result of consummation of the Offer, the Purchasers
may be in a position to significantly influence all
Partnership decisions on which Unitholders may vote. The
Purchasers will vote the Units acquired in the Offer in its
own interest, which may be different from or in conflict
with the interests of the remaining Unitholders.
See Section 7 below.
- The Purchasers may accept only a portion of the Units
tendered by a Unitholder in the event a total of more than
13,750 Units are tendered.
THE OFFER TO PURCHASE IS NOT CONDITIONED UPON ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS BEING
TENDERED. IF MORE THAN 13,750 UNITS ARE VALIDLY TENDERED AND NOT WITHDRAWN, THE
PURCHASERS WILL ACCEPT FOR PURCHASE 13,750 UNITS VALIDLY TENDERED BY UNITHOLDERS
ON A PRO RATA BASIS, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREIN.
A UNITHOLDER MAY TENDER ANY OR ALL UNITS OWNED BY SUCH UNITHOLDER.
The Purchasers expressly reserve 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 13 of this Offer to Purchase, to
delay the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, any Units not theretofore
accepted for payment or paid for, and (iv) to amend the Offer in any respect.
Notice of any such extension, termination or amendment will promptly be
disseminated to Unitholders in a manner reasonably designed to inform
Unitholders of such change in compliance with Rule 14d-4(c) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). In the case of an extension of the
Offer, such extension will be followed by a press release or public announcement
which will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the next
business day after the scheduled Expiration Date, in accordance with Rule 14e-
1(d) under the Exchange Act.

To the Holders of Units of Limited Partnership Interest
of Carlyle Real Estate Limited Partnership - IX
INTRODUCTION
The Purchasers hereby offer to purchase up to 13,750 Units of the
Partnership at a purchase price of $70 per Unit, less the amount of any
distributions declared or paid with respect to the Units between the Offer Date
and the Expiration Date ("Offer Price"), in cash, without interest, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer. Unitholders who
tender their Units will not be obligated to pay any Partnership transfer fees,
or any other fees, expenses or commissions in connection with the tender of
Units. The Purchasers will pay all such costs and all charges and expenses of
the Depositary, an affiliate of the Purchasers, as depositary in connection with
the Offer. For further information concerning the of the Purchasers, see Section
11 below.
Neither any of the Purchasers nor the Depositary is affiliated with
the General Partner or with any of the individual general partners of the
Partnership or any affiliate of such persons.
Unitholders are urged to consider the following factors:
- The purchase price offered by the Purchasers is less than
the $79 per Unit estimated by the Purchasers to be the
estimated liquidation value of the underlying assets of the
Partnership as of December 31, 1995.
- Unitholders who tender their Units will give up the
opportunity to participate in any future benefits from the
ownership of Units, including potential future
distributions by the Partnership, and the purchase price
per Unit payable to a tendering Unitholder by the
Purchasers may be less than the total amount which might
otherwise be received by the Unitholder with respect to the
Unit over the remaining term of the Partnership.
- The Purchasers are making the Offer for investment purposes
and with the intention of making a profit from the
ownership of the Units. In establishing the purchase price
of $70 per Unit, the Purchasers are motivated to establish
the lowest price which might be acceptable to Unitholders
consistent with the Purchasers' objectives.
- As a result of consummation of the Offer, the Purchasers
may be in a position to significantly influence all
Partnership decisions on which Unitholders may vote. The
Purchasers will vote the Units acquired in the Offer in its
own interest, which may be different from or in conflict
with the interests of the remaining Unitholders.
See Section 7 below.
- The Purchasers may accept only a portion of the Units
tendered by a Unitholder in the event a total of more than
13,750 Units are tendered.
The Offer will provide Unitholders with an opportunity to liquidate their
investment without the usual transaction costs associated with market sales.
Unitholders may no longer wish to continue with their investment in the
Partnership for a number of reasons, including the following:
- - the absence of a formal trading market for the Units and the
difficulty in selling units in secondary market transactions;
5
<PAGE>
- - general disenchantment with real estate investments, particularly
long-term investments in limited partnerships;
- - the continuing administrative costs and resultant negative
financial impact on the value of the Units of a publicly registered
limited partnership;
- - a more immediate need to use the cash now tied up in an investment
in the Units;
- - a desire to eliminate the need for compliance with complicated and
costly tax return requirements and associated expenses which may
result from an investment in the Units; and
- - although the Partnership has stated that it expects to wind up its
affairs in 1996, no termination or liquidation date has been fixed
for the Partnership other than the Partnership Agreement provision
for the term of the Partnership to extend until December 31, 2029
(unless dissolved earlier).
The Partnership has only one significant remaining property, and
the general partner has stated that it anticipates liquidating the Partnership
during 1996. If the Partnership is not liquidated, however, it must still comply
with all of the Partnership accounting, tax reporting, limited partner reporting
and public company reporting requirements that it has been subject to throughout
its 17- year history. During substantially all of its prior operating period,
the Partnership had a much larger real property portfolio to offset and justify
its ongoing administrative costs. According to the Partnership's public reports,
the costs borne by the Partnership for general and administrative expenses and
professional fees and services, not including management fees, for the twelve
months ended December 31, 1994 were $202,895 and for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1995 were $95,020. These administrative costs were incurred despite
the Partnership suspending operating distributions to Limited Partners as of the
first quarter of 1993. Administrative costs borne by the Partnership directly
reduce the amount of cash from property operations otherwise available to be
distributed to the Unitholders. Unitholders may wish to dispose of their Units
by accepting the Offer and thereby avoid indirectly bearing such administrative
expenses through the actual liquidation of the Partnership.
The Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum number of Units being
tendered. If more than 13,750 Units are validly tendered and not withdrawn, the
Purchasers will accept for purchase a total of 13,750 Units from tendering
Unitholders on a pro rata basis, subject to the terms and conditions herein. See
"Tender Offer - Section 13. Conditions of the Offer" for certain conditions of
the Offer. The Purchasers expressly reserve the right, in its sole discretion
and for any reason, to waive any or all of the conditions of the Offer, although
the Purchasers do not presently intend to waive any such conditions.
Establishment of the Offer Price
The Purchasers have set the Offer Price at $70 per Unit, less the
amount of any distributions declared or made with respect to the Units between
the Offer Date and Expiration Date. In determining the Offer Price, the
Purchasers analyzed a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including:
(i) the prices of recent secondary market resales of the Units; (ii) the lack of
liquidity of an investment in the Partnership; (iii) an estimate of the
6
<PAGE>
liquidiation value of the Partnership's assets; (iv) the costs to the
Purchasers associated with acquiring the Units; and (v) the administrative costs
of continuing to own the Partnership's assets through a publicly registered
limited partnership.
The Offer Price represents the price at which the Purchasers are
willing to purchase Units. No independent person has been retained to evaluate
or render any opinion with respect to the fairness of the Offer Price and no
representation is made by the Purchasers or any affiliate of the Purchasers as
to such fairness. Other measures of the value of the Units may be relevant to
Unitholders. Unitholders are urged to consider carefully all of the information
contained herein and consult with their own advisors, tax, financial or
otherwise, in evaluating the terms of the Offer before deciding whether to
tender Units.
According to reports published by Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc. and
Partnership Profiles, Inc., independent, third-party sources, the low and high
sales prices of Units during the six-month period from August 1, 1995 through
January 31, 1996 were $40 and $65 per Unit, respectively. The gross sales prices
reported also do not necessarily reflect the net sales proceeds received by
sellers of Units, which typically are reduced by commissions and other secondary
market transaction costs to amounts less than the reported prices. In addition,
the information published by these independent sources is the product of their
market research and does not constitute the comprehensive transaction reporting
of a securities exchange. Accordingly, the Purchasers do not know whether the
foregoing sales price information is accurate or complete. During the period
from March 1, 1996 through the date hereof, affiliates of the Purchasers
acquired or have contracted to acquire a total of 332 Units in privately
negotiated transactions with unrelated parties for prices ranging from $50 to
$65 per Unit.
On May 4, 1996, Kestrel Associates, L.L.C., a Delaware limited
liability company, circulated a tender offer for up to 2,595 Units for a price
of $50 per Unit. The Kestrel offer terminated June 3, 1996. Kestrel stated that
it is not affiliated with the Partnership, and it is not affiliated with the
Purchasers.
The Purchasers are offering to purchase Units which are a
relatively illiquid investment and is not offering to purchase the Partnership's
underlying assets. Consequently, the Purchasers do not believe that the
underlying asset value of the Partnership is determinative in arriving at the
Offer Price. Nevertheless, using publicly available information concerning the
Partnership contained in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995, the Purchasers derived an estimated liquidation value (the
"Estimated Liquidation Value") for the Partnership's assets.
In determining the Estimated Liquidation Value, the Purchasers
first calculated the "Estimated Net Sales Value" of the Partnership's sole
remaining property. The Estimated Net Sales Value was determined by dividing the
property's net operating income ("NOI") of $10,665,300 for the twelve month
period commencing on January 1, 1995 and ending December 31, 1995 by a 10%
capitalization rate (the "Cap Rate") and reducing the result by (i) 4%
($4,266,000) to take into account the estimated closing costs which would be
incurred upon the sale by the Partnership of the property, including brokerage
commissions, title costs, surveys, appraisals, legal fees and transfer taxes;
(ii) the $82,670,000 of mortgage debt encumbering the property as of December
31, 1995; and (iii) an amount equal to $18 million required to purchase the land
lease to the land underlying the property. The resulting Estimated Net Sales
Value of the property was approximately $1,717,000.
The Purchasers believe that the Cap Rate utilized by it is within a
range of capitalization rates currently employed in the marketplace. The
utilization of different capitalization rates, however, could also be
7
<PAGE>
appropriate. In this regard, Unitholders should be aware that the use of
lower capitalization rates would result in a higher Estimated Net Sales Value
for the Partnership's property, and the use of a higher capitalization rate
would result in a lower Estimated Net Sales Value.
To determine the Estimated Liquidation Value of the Partnership's
assets, the Purchasers added to the Estimated Net Sales Value of the
Partnership's property the Partnership's $3,367,000 of net current assets as
reported in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended as of December 31,
1995. The resulting Estimated Liquidation Value of the Partnership's assets as
of December 31, 1995 was approximately $5,084,000, or $79 per Unit (based upon
the percentage of capital distributions which the Purchasers believe Unitholders
are entitled under the Partnership's partnership agreement (the "Partnership
Agreement") after deducting amounts which the General Partner of the Partnership
is entitled to receive).
The property is currently held by a joint venture, and the
Partnership's joint venture partner has exercised its right of first refusal to
purchase the property. According to the Partnership's annual report on Form
10-K, a dispute has arisen concerning the terms of such exercise. Nevertheless,
the Purchasers have determined that, based on the terms of the joint venture,
the maximum possible net proceeds per Unit upon sale to the joint venturer would
equal $254 per Unit. Such a price would be equivalent to capitalizing the net
operating income at a rate of 9%, which the Purchasers believe is significantly
higher than market capitalization rates for similar properties.
As indicated above, the Offer Price represents the price at which
the Purchasers are willing to purchase Units. No independent person has been
retained to evaluate or render any opinion with respect to the fairness of the
Offer Price and no representation is made by the Purchasers or any affiliate of
the Purchasers as to such fairness. Other measures of the value of the Units may
be relevant to Unitholders. Unitholders are urged to consider carefully all of
the information contained herein and consult with their own advisors, tax,
financial or otherwise, in evaluating the terms of the Offer before deciding
whether to tender Units.
General Background Information
Certain information contained in this Offer to Purchase which
relates to, or represents, statements made by the Partnership or the General
Partner, has been derived from information provided in reports filed by the
Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to publicly available information, there were 55,005
Units issued and outstanding at December 31, 1995, held by approximately 5,644
Unitholders. Affiliates of the Purchasers currently beneficially own an
aggregate of 1,280 Units, or approximately 2.32% of the outstanding Units (see
"Certain Information Concerning the Purchasers" below).
Tendering Unitholders will not be obligated to pay transfer fees,
brokerage fees or commissions on the sale of the Units to the Purchasers
pursuant to the Offer. The Purchasers will pay all charges and expenses incurred
in connection with the Offer. The Purchasers desire to purchase all Units
tendered by each Unitholder.
If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchasers increase the
consideration offered to Unitholders pursuant to the Offer, such increased
consideration will be paid with respect to all Units that are purchased pursuant
to the Offer, whether or not such Units were tendered prior to such increase in
consideration.

Unitholders are urged to read this Offer to Purchase and the
accompanying Letter of Transmittal carefully before deciding whether to tender
their Units.
TENDER OFFER
Section 1. Terms of the Offer. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Offer, the Purchasers will accept for payment and pay for
Units validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn in
accordance with Section 4 of this Offer to Purchase. The term "Expiration Date"
shall mean 12:00 midnight, Pacific Standard Time, on August 24, 1996, unless and
until the Purchasers 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 so extended by the Purchasers, shall expire.
The Offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions. See
Section 13, which sets forth in full the conditions of the Offer. The Purchasers
reserve the right (but shall not be obligated), in its sole discretion and for
any reason, to waive any or all of such conditions. If, by the Expiration Date,
any or all of such conditions have not been satisfied or waived, the Purchaser
reserves the right (but shall not be obligated) to (i) decline to purchase any
of the Units tendered, terminate the Offer and return all tendered Units to
tendering Unitholders, (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
Unitholders 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
or (iv) to amend the Offer.
The Purchasers do not anticipate and has no reason to believe that
any condition or event will occur that would prevent the Purchasers from
purchasing tendered Units as offered herein.
Section 2. Proration; Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Units.
If the number of Units validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date and not
withdrawn is 13,750 or less, the Purchasers, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Offer, will accept for payment all Units so tendered.
If the number of Units validly tendered prior to the Expiration
Date and not withdrawn exceeds 13,750, the Purchasers, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of the Offer, will accept for payment Units so
tendered on a pro rata basis.
In the event that proration is required, because of the difficulty
of immediately determining the precise number of Units to be accepted, the
Purchasers will announce the final results of proration as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than five business days following the Expiration Date. The
Purchasers will not pay for any Units tendered until after the final proration
factor has been determined.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer
(including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any
extension or amendment), the Purchasers will accept for payment, and will pay
for, Units validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with Section 4, as
promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date. 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 Letter of Transmittal
(or facsimile thereof) and any other documents required by the Letter of
Transmittal.
9
<PAGE>
For purposes of the Offer, the Purchasers shall be deemed to have
accepted for payment (and thereby purchased) tendered Units when, as and if the
Purchasers give oral or written notice to the Depositary of the Purchasers'
acceptance for payment of such Units pursuant to the Offer. Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of the Offer, payment for Units purchased pursuant to
the Offer will in all cases be made by deposit of the Offer Price with the
Depositary, which will act as agent for the tendering Unitholders for the
purpose of receiving payment from the Purchasers and transmitting payment to
tendering Unitholders. Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the Offer
Price by reason of any delay in making such payment.
If any tendered Units are not purchased for any reason, the Letter
of Transmittal with respect to such Units not purchased will be of no force or
effect. If, for any reason whatsoever, acceptance for payment of, or payment
for, any Units tendered pursuant to the Offer is delayed or the Purchasers are
unable to accept for payment, purchase or pay for Units tendered pursuant to the
Offer, then, without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under Section 13 (but
subject to compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act), the Depositary
may, nevertheless, on behalf of the Purchasers, retain tendered Units, subject
to any limitations of applicable law, and such Units may not be withdrawn except
to the extent that the tendering Unitholders are entitled to withdrawal rights
as described in Section 4.
If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchasers shall increase the
consideration offered to Unitholders pursuant to the Offer, such increased
consideration shall be paid for all Units accepted for payment pursuant to the
Offer, whether or not such Units were tendered prior to such increase.
Section 3. Procedures for Tendering Units.
Valid Tender. For Units to be validly tendered pursuant to the
Offer, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (a copy of
which is enclosed and printed on blue paper) with any other documents required
by the Letter of Transmittal must be received by the Depositary at its address
set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase on or prior to the
Expiration Date. A Unitholder may tender any or all Units owned by such
Unitholder.
In order for a tendering Unitholder to participate in the Offer,
Units must be validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date,
which is 12:00 midnight, Pacific Standard Time, on August 24, 1996, or such date
to which the Offer may be extended.
The method of delivery of the Letter of Transmittal and all other
required documents is at the option and risk of the tendering Unitholder and
delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Depositary.
Backup Federal Income Tax Withholding. To prevent the possible
application of 31% backup federal income tax withholding with respect to payment
of the Offer Price for Units purchased pursuant to the Offer, a tendering
Unitholder must provide the Depositary with such Unitholder's correct taxpayer
identification number and make certain certifications that such Unitholder is
not subject to backup federal income tax withholding. Each tendering Unitholder
must insert in the Letter of Transmittal the Unitholder's taxpayer
identification number or social security number in the space provided on the
front of the Letter of Transmittal. The Letter of Transmittal also includes a
substitute Form W-9, which contains the certifications referred to above. (See
the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal.)
10
<PAGE>
FIRPTA Withholding. To prevent the withholding of federal income
tax in an amount equal to 10% of the sum of the Offer Price plus the amount of
Partnership liabilities allocable to each Unit tendered, each Unitholder must
complete the FIRPTA Affidavit included in the Letter of Transmittal certifying
such Unitholder's taxpayer identification number and address and that the
Unitholder is not a foreign person. (See the Instructions to the Letter of
Transmittal and "Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.")
Other Requirements. By executing a Letter of Transmittal as set
forth above, a tendering Unitholder irrevocably appoints the designees of the
Purchasers as such Unitholder's proxies, in the manner set forth in the Letter
of Transmittal, each with full power of substitution, to the full extent of such
Unitholder's rights with respect to the Units tendered by such Unitholder and
accepted for payment by the Purchasers. Such appointment will be effective when,
and only to the extent that, the Purchasers accept such Units for payment. Upon
such acceptance for payment, all prior proxies given by such Unitholder with
respect to such Units will, without further action, be revoked, and no
subsequent proxies may be given (and if given will not be effective). The
designees of the Purchasers will, with respect to such Units, be empowered to
exercise all voting and other rights of such Unitholder as they in their sole
discretion may deem proper at any meeting of Unitholders, by written consent or
otherwise. In addition, by executing a Letter of Transmittal, a Unitholder also
assigns to the Purchasers all of the Unitholder's rights to receive
distributions from the Partnership with respect to Units which are accepted for
payment and purchased pursuant to the Offer, other than those distributions
declared or paid during the period commencing on the Offer Date and terminating
on the Expiration Date.
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 procedures described above will be determined by the
Purchasers, in their sole discretion, which determination shall be final and
binding. The Purchasers reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders
if not in proper form or if the acceptance of, or payment for, the absolute
right to reject any or all tenders if not in proper form or if the acceptance
of, or payment for, the Units tendered may, in the opinion of the Purchasers'
counsel, be unlawful. The Purchasers also reserve the right to waive any defect
or irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular Units of any
particular Unitholder, and the Purchasers' interpretation of the terms and
conditions of the Offer (including the Letter of Transmittal and the
Instructions thereto) will be final and binding. Neither the Purchasers, 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.
A tender of Units pursuant to any of the procedures described above
will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering Unitholder and the
Purchasers upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including
the tendering Unitholder's representation and warranty that (i) such Unitholder
owns the Units being tendered within the meaning of Rule 14e-4 under the
Exchange Act and (ii) the tender of such Unit complies with Rule 14e-4. Rule
14e-4 requires, in general, that a tendering security holder actually be able to
deliver the security subject to the tender offer, and is of concern particularly
to any Unitholders who have granted options to sell or purchase the Units, hold
option rights to acquire such securities, maintain "short" positions in the
Units (i.e., have borrowed the Units) or have loaned the Units to a short
seller. Because of the nature of limited partnership interests, the Purchasers
believe it is unlikely that any option trading or short selling activity exists
with respect to the Units. In any event, a Unit holder will be deemed to tender
Units in compliance with Rule 14e-4 and the Offer if the holder is the record
owner of the Units and the holder (i) delivers the Units pursuant to the terms
of the Offer, (ii) causes such delivery to be made, (iii) guarantees such
11
<PAGE>
delivery, (iv) causes a guaranty of such delivery, or (v) uses any other
method permitted in the Offer (such as facsimile delivery of the Transmittal
Letter).
Section 4. Withdrawal Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 4, all tenders of Units pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable, provided
that Units tendered pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to
the Expiration Date and, unless theretofore accepted for payment as provided in
this Offer to Purchase, may also be withdrawn at any time after September 24,
1996 (or such later date as may apply in the event the Offer is extended).
For withdrawal to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission
notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary at the address or
the facsimile number set forth in the attached Letter of Transmittal. Any such
notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Units
to be withdrawn and must be signed by the person(s) who signed the Letter of
Transmittal in the same manner as the Letter of Transmittal was signed.
If purchase of, or payment for, Units is delayed for any reason or
if the Purchasers are unable to purchase or pay for Units for any reason, then,
without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under the Offer, tendered Units may
be retained by the Depositary on behalf of the Purchasers and may not be
withdrawn except to the extent that tendering Unitholders are entitled to
withdrawal rights as set forth in this Section 4, subject to Rule 14e-1(c) under
the Exchange Act, which provides that no person who makes a tender offer shall
fail to pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or
on behalf of security holders promptly after the termination or withdrawal of
the tender offer.
All questions as to the form and validity (including time of
receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Purchasers, in their
sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. Neither the
Purchasers, 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
will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
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 at any time prior to the
Expiration Date.
Section 5. Extension of Tender Period; Termination; Amendment. The
Purchasers expressly reserve the right, in their 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 by giving oral or written notice of such extension to the Depositary, (ii)
to terminate the Offer and not accept for payment any Units not theretofore
accepted for payment or paid for, by giving oral or written notice of such
termination to the Depositary, (iii) upon the occurrence or failure to occur of
any of the conditions specified in Section 13, to delay the acceptance for
payment of, or payment for, any Units not heretofore accepted for payment or
paid for, by giving oral or written notice of such termination or delay to the
Depositary, and (iv) to amend the Offer in any respect (including, without
limitation, by increasing or decreasing the consideration offered or the number
of Units being sought in the Offer or both or changing the type of
consideration) by giving oral or written notice of such amendment to the
Depositary. Any extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly
as practicable by public announcement, the announcement in the case of an
extension to be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the
next business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date, in accordance
with the public announcement requirement of Rule 14d-4(c) under the Exchange
Act. Without limiting
12
<PAGE>
the manner in which the Purchasers may choose to make any public announcement,
except as provided by applicable law (including Rule 14d-4(c) under the Exchange
Act), the Purchasers will have no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise
communicate any such public announcement, other than by issuing a release to the
Dow Jones News Service. The Purchasers may also be required by applicable law to
disseminate to Unitholders certain information concerning the extensions of the
Offer and any material changes in the terms of the Offer.
If the Purchasers extend the Offer, or if the Purchasers (whether
before or after its acceptance for payment of Units) are delayed in their
payment for Units or are unable to pay for Units pursuant to the Offer for any
reason, then, without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under the Offer, the
Depositary may retain tendered Units on behalf of the Purchasers, and such Units
may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering Unitholders are entitled to
withdrawal rights as described in Section 4. However, the ability of the
Purchasers to delay payment for Units that the Purchasers have accepted for
payment is limited by Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, which requires that the
Purchasers pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by
or on behalf of holders of securities promptly after the termination or
withdrawal of the Offer.
If the Purchasers make a material change in the terms of the Offer
or the information concerning the Offer or waives a material condition of the
Offer, the Purchasers will extend the Offer to the extent required by Rules
14d-4(c), 14d-6(d) and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act. The minimum period during
which an offer must remain open following a material change in the terms of the
offer or information concerning the offer, other than a change in price or a
change in percentage of securities sought, will depend upon the facts and
circumstances, including the relative materiality of the change in the terms or
information. With respect to a change in price or a change in percentage of
securities sought (other than an increase of not more than 2% of the securities
sought), however, a minimum ten business day period is generally required to
allow for adequate dissemination to security holders and for investor response.
As used in this 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, Pacific Standard Time.
Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences. THE FEDERAL
INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH BELOW IS INCLUDED HEREIN FOR GENERAL INFORMATION
ONLY AND DOES NOT PURPORT TO ADDRESS ALL ASPECTS OF TAXATION THAT MAY BE
RELEVANT TO A PARTICULAR UNITHOLDER. For example, this discussion does not
address the effect of any applicable foreign, state, local or other tax laws
other than federal income tax laws. Certain Unitholders (including trusts,
foreign persons, tax-exempt organizations or corporations subject to special
rules, such as life insurance companies or S corporations) may be subject to
special rules not discussed below. This discussion is based on the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), existing regulations, court
decisions and Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings and other pronouncements.
EACH UNITHOLDER TENDERING UNITS SHOULD CONSULT SUCH UNITHOLDER'S OWN TAX ADVISOR
AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH UNITHOLDER OF ACCEPTING THE OFFER,
INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF THE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX AND FEDERAL, FOREIGN,
STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS.
The following discussion is based on the assumption that the
Partnership is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and is
not a "publicly traded partnership" as that term is defined in the Code.
Gain or Loss. A taxable Unitholder will recognize a gain or loss
13
<PAGE>
on the sale of such Unitholder's Units in an amount equal to the difference
between (i) the amount realized by such Unitholder on the sale and (ii) such
Unitholder's adjusted tax basis in the Units sold. The amount realized by a
Unitholder will include the Unitholder's share of the Partnership's liabilities,
if any (as determined under Code section 752 and the regulations thereunder). If
the Unitholder reports a loss on the sale, such loss generally could not be
currently deducted by such Unitholder except against such Unitholder's capital
gains from other investments. In addition, such loss would be treated as a
passive activity loss. (See "Suspended Passive Activity Losses" below.)
The adjusted tax basis in the Units of a Unitholder will depend
upon individual circumstances. (See also "Partnership Allocations in Year of
Sale" below.) Each Unitholder who plans to tender hereunder should consult with
the Unitholder's own tax advisor as to the Unitholder's adjusted tax basis in
the Unitholder's Units and the resulting tax consequences of a sale.
If any portion of the amount realized by a Unitholder is
attributable to such Unitholder's share of "unrealized receivables" or
"substantially appreciated inventory items" as defined in Code section 751, a
corresponding portion of such Unitholder's gain or loss will be treated as
ordinary gain or loss. It is possible that the basis allocation rules of Code
Section 751 may result in a Unitholder's recognizing ordinary income with
respect to the portion of the Unitholder's amount realized on the sale of a Unit
that is attributable to such items while recognizing a capital loss with respect
to the remainder of the Unit.
A tax-exempt Unitholder (other than an organization described in
Code Section 501(c)(7) (social club), 501(c)(9) (voluntary employee benefit
association), 501(c)(17) (supplementary unemployment benefit trust), or
501(c)(20) (qualified group legal services plan)) should not be required to
recognize unrelated trade or business income upon the sale of its Units pursuant
to the Offer, assuming that such Unitholder does not hold its Units as a
"dealer" and has not acquired such Units with debt financed proceeds.
Partnership Allocations in Year of Sale. A tendering Unitholder
will be allocated the Unitholder's pro rata share of the annual taxable income
and losses from the Partnership with respect to the Units sold for the period
through the date of sale, even though such Unitholder will assign to the
Purchasers its rights to receive certain cash distributions with respect to such
Units. Such allocations and any Partnership distributions for such period would
affect a Unitholder's adjusted tax basis in the tendered Units and, therefore,
the amount of gain or loss recognized by the Unitholder on the sale of the
Units.
Possible Tax Termination. The Code provides that if 50% or more of
the capital and profits interests in a partnership are sold or exchanged within
a single 12-month period, such partnership generally will terminate for federal
income tax purposes. It is possible, although deemed by the Purchasers to be
unlikely (given the limited number of Units subject to the Offer and the limited
secondary market for the Units), that the Partnership could terminate for
federal income tax purposes as a result of consummation of the Offer. If so, the
Partnership will be treated as having made a liquidating distribution of an
undivided interest in all of its assets to the Unitholders, the partners of the
Partnership after consummation of the Offer (i.e., the nontendering Unitholders
and the Purchasers) would be treated as having recontributed their interests in
Partnership assets to the Partnership, and the capital accounts of all partners
would be restated. A Unitholder would recognize gain on the liquidating
distribution only to the extent that the amount of cash deemed distributed to
the Unitholder exceeded the Unitholder's basis in the Units. Depending on the
Unitholders' bases in their Units and the Partnership's tax basis in its
property, a tax termination could affect, perhaps adversely, the amount of
depreciation deductions reported by the Partnership for the period following the
14
<PAGE>
date of such termination. A tax termination of the Partnership also could
have the adverse effect on Unitholders whose tax year is not the calendar year,
of the inclusion of more than one year of Partnership tax items in one tax
return of such Unitholders, resulting in a "bunching" of income. In addition, a
tax termination could have the adverse effect on non-tendering Unitholders who
subsequently dispose of their Units at a gain of requiring them to treat a
greater portion of such gain as ordinary income (due to the application of Code
Section 735) than would otherwise be required absent a tax termination of the
Partnership.
Suspended "Passive Activity Losses". A Unitholder who sells all of
the Unitholder's Units would be able to deduct "suspended" passive activity
losses from the Partnership, if any, in the year of sale free of the passive
activity loss limitation. As a limited partner of the Partnership, which was
engaged in real estate activities, the ability of a Unitholder, who or which is
subject to the passive activity loss rules, to claim tax losses from the
Partnership was limited. Upon sale of all of the Unitholder's Units, such
Unitholder would be able to use any "suspended" passive activity losses first
against gain, if any, on sale of the Unitholder's Units and then against income
from any other source.
Foreign Unitholders. Gain realized by a foreign Unitholder on a
sale of a Unit pursuant to the Offer will be subject to federal income tax.
Under Section 1445 of the Code, the transferee of a partnership interest held by
a foreign person is generally required to deduct and withhold a tax equal to 10%
of the amount realized on the disposition. The Purchasers will withhold 10% of
the amount realized by a tendering Unitholder from the purchase price payment to
be made to such Unitholder unless the Unitholder properly completes and signs
the FIRPTA Affidavit included as part of the Letter of Transmittal certifying
the Unitholder's TIN, that such Unitholder is not a foreign person and the
Unitholder's address. Amounts withheld would be creditable against a foreign
Unitholder'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.
Limitations on Resales. The Partnership Agreement does not restrict
transfers of Units, provided a transfer results in an assignee holding at least
five Units and complies with any applicable state securities laws. Accordingly,
the Purchasers neither anticipate any limitation on its right to acquire the
Units, nor that such acquisitions will have the effect of limiting any further
resales of Units.
Effect on Trading Market. There is no established public trading
market for the Units and, therefore, a reduction in the number of Unitholders
should not materially further restrict the Unitholders' ability to find
purchasers for their Units on any secondary market.
Voting Power of Purchasers. Depending on the number of Units
acquired by the Purchasers pursuant to the Offer, the Purchasers may have the
ability to exert certain influence on matters subject to the vote of
Unitholders, though the maximum number of Units sought hereunder would not give
the Purchasers a controlling voting interest.
The Units are registered under the Exchange Act, which requires,
among other things that the Partnership furnish certain information to its
Unitholders and to the Commission and comply with the Commission's proxy rules
in connection with meetings of, and solicitation of consents from, Unitholders.
The Purchasers do not believe that the purchase of Units pursuant to the Offer
will result in the Units becoming eligible for deregistration under the Exchange
Act.
15
<PAGE>
Section 8. Future Plans. Following the completion of the Offer, the
Purchasers, or their affiliates, may acquire additional Units. Any such
acquisition may be made through private purchases, through one or more future
tender offers or by any other means deemed advisable. Any such acquisition may
be at a consideration higher or lower than the consideration to be paid for the
Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.
The Purchasers are acquiring the Units pursuant to the Offer solely for
investment purposes. Although the Purchasers have no present intention to seek
control of the Partnership or to change the management or operations of the
Partnership, the Purchasers reserve the right, at an appropriate time, to
exercise its rights as a limited partner to vote on matters subject to a limited
partner vote, including a vote to cause the sale of the Partnership's remaining
property and the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership.
Section 9. The Business of the Partnership. Information included herein
concerning the Partnership is derived from the Partnership's publicly-filed
reports. Additional information concerning the Partnership, its assets,
operations and management is contained in its annual reports on Form 10-K and
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and
Exchange 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. The Purchasers expressly
disclaim any responsibility for the information included in such reports and
extracted in this discussion.
The Partnership was organized in 1976 as an Illinois limited
partnership for the purpose of investing in improved income-producing commercial
and residential real properties for the benefit of its limited partners. The
Partnership currently owns a joint venture interest in one medical office
complex (the "Property"). The Corporate General Partner of the partnership is
JMB Realty Corporation, and it is responsible for Partnership operations. As of
December 31, 1995, there were 55,005 Units outstanding held by approximately
5,644 Unitholders.
Selected Financial Data. Set forth below is a summary of certain
financial data for the Partnership which has been excerpted from the
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995
and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

(b) Cash distributions from the Partnership are generally not equal to
Partnership income (loss) for financial reporting or Federal income tax
purposes. Each Partner's taxable income (or loss) from the Partnership in each
year is equal to his allocable share of the taxable income (or loss) of the
Partnership, without regard to the cash generated or distributed by the
Partnership. Accordingly, cash distributions to the Limited Partners from the
inception of the Partnership through December 31, 1995 have not resulted in
taxable income to such Limited Partners and have therefore represented a return
of capital.

Units, (ii) neither the Purchasers nor, to the best knowledge of the Purchasers,

understanding or relationship with any other person with respect to any
securities of the Partnership, including but not limited to, contracts,

20
<PAGE>
affiliates of the Purchasers, were found by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. to have violated certain of the compensation guidelines
applicable to its member broker-dealer firms. The determination was made in
connection with transactions executed by registered representatives of Patterson
Financial Services, Inc. for the purchase and sale of certain partnership
interests which occurred in 1987.
Section 12. Source of Funds. The Purchasers expect that $962,500 would
be required to purchase 13,750 Units, if tendered, and an additional $35,000
would be required to pay related fees and expenses. The Purchasers anticipate
funding all of the purchase price and related expenses through their existing
working capital.
Section 13. Conditions of the Offer. Notwithstanding any other term of
the Offer, the Purchasers shall not be required to accept for payment or to pay
for any Units tendered if all authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of,
or declarations or filings with, or expirations of waiting periods imposed by,
any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority
or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, necessary for the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Offer shall not have been filed, occurred or
been obtained.
The Purchasers shall not be required to accept for payment or pay for
any Units not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for and may terminate or
amend the Offer as to such Units if, at any time on or after the date of the
Offer and before the acceptance of such Units for payment or the payment
therefor, any of the following conditions exists:
(a) a preliminary or permanent injunction or other order of any federal
or state court, government or governmental authority or agency shall
have been issued and shall remain in effect which (i) makes illegal,
delays or otherwise directly or indirectly restrains or prohibits the
making of the Offer or the acceptance for payment of or payment for any
Units by the Purchasers, (ii) imposes or confirms limitations on the
ability of the Purchasers effectively to exercise full rights of
ownership of any Units, including, without limitation, the right to
vote any Units acquired by the Purchasers pursuant to the Offer or
otherwise on all matters properly presented to the Partnership's
Unitholders, (iii) requires divestiture by the Purchasers of any Units,
(iv) causes any material diminution of the benefits to be derived by
the Purchasers as a result of the transactions contemplated by the
Offer or (v) might materially adversely affect the business,
properties, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations,
results of operations or prospectus of the Purchasers or the
Partnership;
(b) there shall be any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation
or order proposed, enacted, enforced, promulgated, issued or deemed
applicable to the Offer by any federal or state court, government or
governmental authority or agency, other than the application of the
waiting period provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, which might, directly or
indirectly, result in any of the consequences referred to in clauses
(i) through (v) of paragraph (a) above;
(c) any change or development shall have occurred or been threatened
since the date hereof, in the business, properties, assets,
liabilities, financial condition, operations, results of operations or
prospects of the Partnership, which, in the reasonable judgment of the
Purchasers, is or may be materially adverse to the Partnership, or the
Purchasers shall have become aware of any fact that, in the reasonable
judgment of the Purchasers, does or may have a material adverse effect
on the value of the Units;
21
<PAGE>
(d) there shall have occurred (i) any general suspension of trading in,
or limitation on prices for, securities on any national securities
exchange or in the over-the-counter market in the United States, (ii) a
declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in
respect of banks in the United States, (iii) any limitation by any
governmental authority on, or other event which might affect, the
extension of credit by lending institutions or result in any imposition
of currency controls in the United States, (iv) a commencement of a war
or armed hostilities or other national or international calamity
directly or indirectly involving the United States, (v) a material
change in United States or other currency exchange rates or a
suspension of a limitation on the markets thereof, or (vi) in the case
of any of the foregoing existing at the time of the commencement of the
Offer, a material acceleration or worsening thereof; or
(e) it shall have been publicly disclosed or the Purchasers shall have
otherwise learned that (i) more than fifty percent of the outstanding
Units have been or are proposed to be acquired by another person
(including a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the
Exchange Act), or (ii) any person or group that prior to such date had
filed a Statement with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(d) or (g)
of the Exchange Act has increased or proposes to increase the number of
Units beneficially owned by such person or group as disclosed in such
Statement by two percent or more of the outstanding Units.
The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of the Purchasers and
may be asserted by the Purchasers regardless of the circumstances giving rise to
such conditions or may be waived by the Purchasers in whole or in part at any
time and from time to time in their sole discretion. Any termination by the
Purchasers concerning the events described above will be final and binding upon
all parties.
Section 14. Certain Legal Matters.
General. Except as set forth in this Section 14, the Purchasers are not
aware of any filings, approvals or other actions by any domestic or foreign
governmental or administrative agency that would be required prior to the
acquisition of Units by the Purchasers pursuant to the Offer. Should any such
approval or other action be required, it is the Purchasers's present intention
that such additional approval or action would be sought. 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 of or held
separate or other substantial conditions complied with in order to obtain such
approval or action, any of which could cause the Purchasers to elect to
terminate the Offer without purchasing Units thereunder. The Purchasers'
obligation to purchase and pay for Units is subject to certain conditions,
including conditions related to the legal matters discussed in this Section 14.
Antitrust. The Purchasers do not believe that the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the
acquisition of Units pursuant to 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, such regulations are not applicable to the Offer.
22
<PAGE>
State Takeover Laws. A number of states have adopted anti-takeover laws
which purport, to varying degrees, to be applicable to attempts to acquire
securities of corporations which are incorporated in such states or which have
substantial assets, security holders, principal executive offices or principal
places of business therein. These laws are directed at the acquisition of
corporations and not partnerships. The Purchasers, therefore, do not believe
that any anti-takeover laws apply to the transactions contemplated by the Offer.
Although the Purchasers have not attempted to comply with any state
anti-takeover statutes in connection with the Offer, the Purchasers reserve the
right to challenge the validity or applicability of any state law allegedly
applicable to the Offer and nothing in this Offer nor any action taken in
connection herewith is intended as a waiver of such right. If any state
anti-takeover statute is applicable to the Offer, the Purchasers might be unable
to accept for payment or purchase Units tendered pursuant to the Offer or be
delayed in continuing or consummating the Offer. In such case, the Purchasers
may not be obligated to accept for purchase or pay for any Units tendered.
Section 15. Fees and Expenses. The Purchasers have not retained any
agents to solicit Unit holders in connection with the Offer. The Purchasers and
their employees and management may contact Unit holders by mail, telephone,
telex, telegraph and personal interview, and may request brokers, dealers,
commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees for holders to forward the
Offer material to the beneficial owners of Units.
The Purchasers have retained CCP Administrators, Inc., an affiliate of
the Purchasers, to act as Depositary in connection with the Offer. The
Purchasers will pay the Depositary reasonable and customary compensation for its
services in connection with the Offer, plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket
expenses, and will indemnify the Depositary against certain liabilities and
expenses in connection therewith, including liabilities under the federal
securities laws. The Purchasers will also pay all costs and expenses of
printing, publication and mailing of the Offer.
Section 16. Miscellaneous. THE OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE TO (NOR WILL
TENDERS BE ACCEPTED FROM OR ON BEHALF OF) UNITHOLDERS IN ANY JURISDICTION IN
WHICH THE MAKING OF THE OFFER OR THE ACCEPTANCE THEREOF WOULD NOT BE IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION. THE PURCHASERS IS NOT AWARE OF
ANY JURISDICTION WITHIN THE UNITED STATES IN WHICH THE MAKING OF THE OFFER OR
THE ACCEPTANCE THEREOF WOULD BE ILLEGAL.
No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any
representation on behalf of the Purchasers not contained herein or in the Letter
of Transmittal and, if given or made, such information or representation must
not be relied upon as having been authorized.
