ITEM 2 - Disposition of Assets

Bristol Pointe Apartments, Arlington, Texas

Disposition Date - August 14, 1998

      On August 14, 1998,  Arlington Towne Oaks  Associates,  a joint venture in
which  Paine  Webber   Income   Properties   Four  Limited   Partnership   ("the
Partnership")  has an  interest,  sold  the  property  known as  Bristol  Pointe
Apartments  (formerly  Arlington  Towne Oaks  Apartments)  located in Arlington,
Texas,  to an  unrelated  third party,  FSC/Bristol  Pointe  Associates  Limited
Partnership,  a Texas Limited  Partnership,  for $11.3 million.  The Partnership
received net proceeds of approximately  $5,447,000 after deducting closing costs
of  approximately  $233,000,  closing  proration  adjustments  of  approximately
$269,000,  the repayment of the existing  first  mortgage loan of  approximately
$4,714,000,  related accrued interest of approximately  $37,000 and a prepayment
fee of approximately $600,000. Despite incurring a sizable prepayment penalty on
the repayment of the outstanding first mortgage loan, management believed that a
current sale of the Bristol  Pointe  property  was in the best  interests of the
Limited Partners due to the exceptionally strong market conditions that exist at
the present  time and which  resulted  in the  achievement  of a very  favorable
selling price.

      As discussed  further in the  Partnership's  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended June 30, 1998, during the second quarter of fiscal 1998 the
Partnership initiated discussions with area real estate brokerage firms in order
to explore  potential  opportunities for selling the Bristol Pointe property and
solicited  marketing  proposals from three of these firms. After reviewing their
respective  proposals  and  conducting  extensive  interviews,  the  Partnership
selected a  Dallas-based  brokerage  firm that is a leading  seller of apartment
properties.  A marketing package was subsequently  finalized,  and comprehensive
sales efforts began in early May 1998.  As a result of those  efforts,  eighteen
offers were received.  The prospective  purchasers were then requested to submit
best and final offers.  Seven of the prospective buyers submitted best and final
offers. After completing an evaluation of these offers and the relative strength
of the prospective purchasers, the Partnership selected an offer. A purchase and
sale agreement was negotiated with this unrelated third-party  prospective buyer
and the due  diligence  work was  completed on July 24,  1998.  At that time the
prospective  buyer made a non-refundable  deposit of $150,000.  This transaction
closed on August 14, 1998. The  Partnership  will distribute the net proceeds of
the sale of the  Bristol  Pointe  apartments  on  August  25,  1998 in a Special
Distribution of $212 per original $1,000  investment to unitholders of record as
of August 14, 1998.

      Bristol Pointe was the final asset owned by the Partnership. As previously
reported, the Partnership is awaiting final documentation from HUD regarding the
prepayment of the loan secured by the Charter Oak Apartments,  which was sold on
July 16, 1998. The  Partnership  expects to receive final HUD  documentation  by
September 30, 1998. The  Partnership  would then distribute all of the net sales
proceeds  from the sale of Charter Oak on or before  October 15,  1998. A formal
liquidation of the Partnership would then follow. The Partnership anticipates an
orderly  liquidation  of  the  Partnership  to be  completed  and a  liquidating
distribution  of the  Partnership's  remaining cash  reserves,  after paying all
liquidation-related expenses, to be made to the Limited Partners by November 13,
1998.

                                PURCHASE AND SALE

      2.1 Seller  hereby  agrees to sell and convey  the  Property  to Buyer and
Buyer hereby agrees to buy the Property  from Seller for the Purchase  Price and
otherwise subject to the covenants,  provisions,  terms and conditions contained
herein.

                                    ARTICLE 3

                      PURCHASE PRICE; DEPOSIT; ADJUSTMENTS

      3.1 Deposit.  Contemporaneously  with the  execution  and delivery of this
Agreement (and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement),
Buyer  shall  deposit  immediately   available  funds  with  the  Title  Company
(hereinafter the "Escrow Agent") the sum of Fifty Thousand  ($50,000.00) Dollars
(the "Initial Deposit") to secure Buyer's obligations under this Agreement.  The
Escrow  Agent shall hold the  Initial  Deposit  and the Final  Deposit  (defined
below),  if any, in a segregated  interest  bearing money market account with an
FDIC insured bank  reasonably  acceptable  to Buyer and Seller.  Notwithstanding
anything  to the  contrary  contained  herein,  the  Initial  Deposit  shall  be
non-refundable  unless  Seller is in default  under  Section  10.1  hereof or if
Seller  fails to obtain the  Necessary  Approvals  referenced  in Section  12.20
hereof. In the event Buyer does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
5.2 hereof,  Buyer shall  immediately  deposit  available  funds with the Escrow
Agent in the sum of  Seventy-Five  Thousand  ($75,000.00)  Dollars  (the  "Final
Deposit")  to further  secure  Buyer's  obligations  under this  Agreement.  The
Initial  Deposit,  the Final  Deposit,  if any, and all interest  accrued on the
Initial Deposit and Final Deposit (collectively, the "Escrowed Amount") shall be
maintained  by the Escrow  Agent in such  account or  accounts  until the Escrow
Agent is required to cause the Escrowed  Amount to be disbursed  pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Earnest Money Escrow Instructions
attached  hereto as  Exhibit  D. The  Escrowed  Amount  shall be  applied to the
Purchase  Price if the Closing  occurs,  as provided  in Section  3.2(c)  below.
Simultaneously  with the  delivery of the Deposit to the Escrow  Agent by Buyer,
Buyer  shall  deliver  to  Seller  the  sum of One  Hundred  Dollars  ($100)  as
"Independent  Consideration," which Independent  Consideration is in addition to
and  independent  of any other  consideration  or payment  provided  for in this
Agreement,  and shall be retained by Seller in all instances, but which shall be
applied against the Purchase Price if Closing occurs hereunder.

      3.2 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price,  subject to adjustment as provided
herein,  shall be as  specified  in  Article  1 above  and  shall be paid on the
Closing Date (as hereinafter  defined) in United States dollars by wire transfer
of federal funds, less the Escrowed Amount (the "Cash Balance").

      3.3 Tax Proration.  All due and payable real estate taxes, all general and
special  assessments on the Land and ad valorem  taxes,  if any, on the Personal
Property  (based on the most recent  ascertainable  taxes)  attributable  to the
Property  through the  Closing  Date shall be  prorated  and  adjusted as of the
Closing Date. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any
increase in the taxes on the Property resulting from the sale of the Property or
from any improvements  made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date.
If the tax  statements  for the fiscal year during which the Closing Date occurs
are not  finally  determined,  then the tax figures  for the  immediately  prior
fiscal  year shall be used for the  purposes of  prorating  taxes on the Closing
Date,  provided  that there shall be no further  adjustment to be made after the
Closing  Date.  Any tax  refunds or  proceeds  (including  interest  thereon) on
account of a favorable determination resulting from a challenge, protest, appeal
or similar proceeding relating to taxes and assessments relating to the Property
(i) for all tax periods  occurring  prior to the  applicable tax period in which
the Closing occurs shall be retained by and paid  exclusively to Seller and (ii)
for the  applicable  tax period in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated as
of the Closing Date after reimbursement to Seller and Buyer, as applicable,  for
all fees, costs and expenses (including  reasonable  attorneys' and consultants'
fees)  incurred  by Seller or Buyer,  as  applicable,  in  connection  with such
proceedings  such that Seller  shall retain and be paid that portion of such tax
refunds or proceeds as is applicable to the portion of the applicable tax period
prior to the  Closing  Date and Buyer shall  retain and be paid that  portion of
such tax refunds or proceeds as is applicable  to the portion of the  applicable
tax period  from and after the  Closing  Date.  Neither  Seller nor Buyer  shall
settle any tax  protests  or  proceedings  in which taxes for the tax period for
which the other party is responsible are being  adjudicated  without the consent
of such party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,  conditioned or
delayed.  After the Closing,  Buyer shall be responsible for and control any tax
protests or proceedings for any period for which taxes are adjusted  between the
parties under this  Agreement  and for any later period.  Buyer and Seller shall
cooperate in pursuit of any such  proceedings  and in  responding  to reasonable
requests of the other for  information  concerning  the status of and  otherwise
relating to such  proceedings;  provided,  however,  that neither party shall be
obligated to incur any  out-of-pocket  fees,  costs or expenses in responding to
the requests of the other.

      3.4  Contract  Proration.   To  the  extent  Property  Contracts  are  not
terminated  pursuant  to  Section  4.3,  prepaid or past due  amounts  under any
Property  Contracts which are assigned to Buyer at Closing shall be prorated and
adjusted as of the Closing Date.

      3.5 Utility Proration. To the extent reasonably feasible, the Seller shall
cause all meters for  electricity,  gas,  water,  sewer or other public  utility
usage at the Property to be read as of the day immediately preceding the Closing
Date, and the Seller shall pay all charges for such utilities which have accrued
on or prior to the Closing Date;  provided,  however,  that if and to the extent
such charges are paid  directly by tenants,  no such reading or payment shall be
required. If the utility companies are unable or refuse to read meters for which
payment by the Seller is required,  all charges for such utilities to the extent
unpaid  shall be prorated  and adjusted as of the Closing Date based on the most
recent bills therefor and no further  adjustment shall be made. The Seller shall
provide  notice to the Buyer  within five (5) days of the Closing  Date  setting
forth (i) whether  utility meters will be read as of the Closing Date and (ii) a
copy of the most recent bill for any  utility  charges  which are to be prorated
and adjusted as of the Closing Date.

      3.6 Income and Expense Proration. Collected rents for the then current and
any future period,  security deposits which have not been previously  applied by
Seller,  prepaid  rentals,  interest under the Existing Loan Documents,  and all
expenses  and other  charges in  connection  with the  operation of the Property
shall be  apportioned  and full value shall be adjusted as of the Closing  Date,
and the net  amount  thereof,  if in  favor  of  Seller,  shall  be added to the
Purchase  Price,  or if in favor of Buyer,  shall be deducted  from the Purchase
Price.  From and after  Closing all  security  deposits  credited to Buyer shall
thereafter be deemed  transferred  to Buyer and Buyer shall assume and be solely
responsible for the payments of security  deposits to tenants in accordance with
the  Leases  and  applicable  law.  Seller  shall be  entitled  to  retain or if
transferred to Buyer receive a credit for any utility  deposits and any deposits
for third  parties under any of the Property  Contracts.  Seller shall receive a
credit for the full amount of any  escrows or  reserves  held by or on behalf of
Lender.  For a period of sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall use
commercially  reasonable  efforts to collect owing past due or uncollected rents
as of the Closing Date, and such past due or uncollected  rents, less reasonable
expenses of collection  thereof,  shall be apportioned  between Buyer and Seller
(if and when collected).

      3.7 Prorations Generally.  A statement of prorations and other adjustments
shall be prepared by Seller in conformity  with the provisions of this Article 3
and  submitted  to Buyer for review and  approval not less than two (2) business
days prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of making prorations,  Seller shall
be deemed to be in title to the  Property  and  entitled  to the income from and
responsible for the expenses thereof, on the closing Date.

      3.8   Closing Costs.

            (a) Seller shall pay: (i) its legal fees and expenses related to the
      negotiation and  preparation of this Agreement and all documents  required
      to close the transaction  contemplated  hereby, and (ii) 50% of the escrow
      fees of the Escrow Agent.

            (b) Buyer shall pay: (i) 50% of the escrow fees of the Escrow Agent,

      commitment as well as all charges and premiums for an owner's title policy
      and any endorsements  thereto,  (vi) all costs allocable to preparation of
      the survey, and (vii) all state, county or other taxes associated with the
      transfer of the property.

            (c) All  other  closing  costs  shall be paid by  Seller or Buyer in
      accordance  with the  custom in the  jurisdiction  where the  Property  is
      located.


                                    ARTICLE 4

                              PRECLOSING OPERATION

      4.1  Leases.  A rent  roll  (the  "Rent  Roll")  containing  a list of all
occupants  of the  Property  pursuant  to the  Leases  as of the date  hereof is
attached hereto as Exhibit E. During the pendency of this Agreement,  Seller may
enter into  Leases  with new tenants or  modifications  of Leases with  existing
tenants  substantially in accordance with Seller's  existing leasing  practices,
provided  that in all events any new or modified  Leases shall (i) be at or near
market rent,  (ii) be for a term of not more than one (1) year (with  respect to
residential  Leases only),  and (iii) on the Seller's  current  standard form of
lease.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Seller agrees to obtain  Buyer's prior
written consent to any Leases that provide for a term in excess of one (1) year,
which  consent  Buyer agrees  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  and Buyer's
consent shall be deemed to have been granted if Buyer has not  responded  within
five (5) Business Days following the submission of a proposed Lease to Buyer for
approval.

      4.2  Conduct of  Business.  At all times prior to  Closing,  Seller  shall
continue (a) to conduct business with respect to the Property in the same manner
in which said business has been heretofore conducted, (b) to insure the Property

available for Buyer to review  promptly after the date hereof.  On or before the
Diligence Date (as defined below),  unless Buyer has provided  written notice to
Seller of Buyer's  election to terminate  this  Agreement,  Buyer shall  provide
written  notice to Seller of the Property  Contracts  that Buyer desires to have
terminated  by Seller,  and Seller will  terminate  the  Property  Contracts  so
identified at or before  Closing,  provided that such Property  Contracts may be
terminated without cost or liability to Seller and if there is cost or liability
to Seller, Buyer shall be responsible for any such liability. At Closing, Seller
shall  assign  and Buyer  shall  assume the  Property  Contracts,  except  those
Property Contracts which Seller has agreed to terminate.  Buyer and Seller shall
indemnify,  defend  and hold the other  harmless  from and  against  any and all
claims under the Property  Contracts  which relate to its  respective  period of
ownership.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller's existing management contract
and exclusive  brokerage contract for the Property shall be terminated by Seller
effective as of the Closing Date.  Seller shall not, during the pendency of this
Agreement,  enter into any  Property  Contracts  or  modifications,  renewals or
terminations  of any  existing  Property  Contracts,  in each case that would be
binding upon Buyer or the Property after Closing, without the written consent of
Buyer, which consent Buyer agrees shall not be unreasonably  withheld.  If Buyer
disapproves any such request,  then Buyer's notice shall specify the reasons for
such disapproval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
management contract with respect to the Property shall be canceled  concurrently
with closing.

      reasonable,  nondestructive  investigations,  studies and tests including,
      without  limitation,  surveys  and  engineering  studies  as  Buyer  deems
      necessary  or  advisable,  provided,  however,  that  Buyer  shall  not be
      permitted to conduct  physical  testing  without  Seller's  prior  written
      consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,  conditioned or
      delayed.  Seller's  prior  written  consent for  physical  inspections  or
      testing may be conditioned  upon receipt of a detailed  description of the
      proposed physical inspection or testing, a list of contractors who will be
      performing  the  physical  inspection  or testing,  evidence of  insurance
      satisfactory to Seller,  and such other  information as Seller  reasonably
      requires in  connection  with such proposed  inspection or testing.  Buyer
      acknowledges  that Seller has delivered to Buyer or has made  available to
      Buyer at the Property, on or before the date hereof, all Documents.

            (b) Buyer agrees that in conducting any inspections,  investigations
      or tests of the Property  and/or the  Documents,  Buyer and its agents and
      representatives  shall (i) not  unreasonably  interfere with the operation

      party,  (iv) not injure or  otherwise  cause  bodily  harm to Seller,  the
      property  manager,   or  their  respective   guests,   agents,   invitees,
      contractors  and employees or any tenant or their guests or invitees,  (v)
      maintain  comprehensive  general liability  insurance in terms and amounts
      reasonably   acceptable  to  Seller  covering  any  accident   arising  in
      connection with the presence of Buyer, its agents and  representatives  on
      the  Property,  and deliver a  certificate  of  insurance  verifying  such
      coverage to Seller  prior to entry upon the  Property;  (vi)  promptly pay
      when due the costs of all tests, investigations and examinations done with
      regard to the  Property;  (vii) not permit any liens to attach to the Real
      Property by reason of the  exercise of Buyer's  rights  hereunder,  (viii)
      fully  restore the  Property to the  condition in which the same was found
      before any such inspection or tests were  undertaken;  and (ix) not reveal
      or disclose  any  information  obtained  during the due  diligence  period
      concerning  the  Property  and the  Documents  to anyone  outside  Buyer's
      organization,  except in accordance with the confidentiality standards set
      forth in Section 5.5 herein.

            (c) Buyer will indemnify,  defend,  and hold Seller and its property
      manager harmless from all losses,  costs, liens, claims, causes of action,
      liability,   damages  and  out-of  pocket  expenses,   including,  without
      limitation,  reasonable  attorneys' fees incurred by Seller as a result of
      the entry upon or  inspections,  tests or  investigations  of the Property
      conducted by or on behalf of Buyer.  This  indemnity  obligation  of Buyer
      shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

            (d) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Documents are provided to
      Buyer   for   informational   purposes   only   and  do   not   constitute
      representations  or  warranties  of Seller  or its  agents,  employees  or
      representatives  of any kind as to the truth,  accuracy or completeness of
      the  Documents or the source(s)  thereof.  Seller has not  undertaken  any
      independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the
      Documents,  and is providing the Documents  solely as an  accommodation to
      Buyer.

      5.2  Diligence.  Subject to  Section  5.1,  above,  Buyer  shall  promptly

are not acceptable to Buyer,  in Buyer's sole  discretion,  Buyer may elect,  by
written  notice to Seller,  received by Seller on or before the Diligence  Date,
not to proceed with this purchase, in which event this Agreement shall terminate
and this  Agreement  shall be null and void  without  recourse  to either  party
hereto (except to the extent such recourse arises in connection with a provision
of this Agreement which is intended to survive termination).  Buyer acknowledges
that the  Initial  Deposit  is  non-refundable  in the  event  Buyer  terminates
pursuant to this Section. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT,  BUYER SHALL BE AFFORDED A FULL  OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE PROPERTY,

waive such objections which Seller is not willing or able to cure and proceed to
closing.  Those exceptions or title deficiencies which (i) Buyer does not object
to pursuant to this Section 6.1 or (ii) are waived  because  Seller is unwilling
or unable to cure shall be the "termitted Exceptions."

grant deed to Buyer good and clear record and marketable fee simple title to all
of the Real  Property  free and clear of all  liens,  encumbrances,  conditions,

            (e) All matters  shown on Schedule B of the Title  Commitment  or of
      public record as of the effective  date of the Title  Commitment and which
      Seller has not agreed to cure pursuant to Section 6.1, above;

            (f)   The Permitted Exceptions;

      of  termination to Seller on or before that date which is thirty (30) days
      after the occurrence of the fire or other casualty or on the Closing Date,
      whichever  occurs first,  in which event the Escrow Agent shall return the

Agreement shall terminate,  and neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any recourse
against the other (except to the extent such recourse  arises in connection with
a provision  of this  Agreement  which is intended to survive  termination).  If
Buyer does not timely notify Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement,
Buyer shall purchase the Property and pay the Purchase  Price,  and Seller shall
pay over or  assign  to Buyer  on  delivery  of the  deed  awards  recovered  or
recoverable  by Seller on account of such Eminent Domain Taking up to the amount
of the  Purchase  Price,  less any  amounts  reasonably  expended  by  Seller in
obtaining such award.

                                    ARTICLE 9

                              BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

      Seller and Buyer each  mutually  represent  and  warrant to the other that
they have not dealt with,  and are not obligated to pay, any fees or commissions
to any broker in connection with the transaction  contemplated by this Agreement
other  than  Corson  &  Associates  (the  "Broker".  Seller  agrees  to pay  all
commissions, payments and fees due to the Broker at the Closing. Buyer agrees to
indemnify,   defend  and  hold  Seller  harmless  from  and  against  all  loss,
liabilities,  costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
arising from any claims for  brokerage  or finder'  fees,  commissions  or other
similar  fees in  connection  with the  transaction  covered  by this  Agreement
insofar as such claims shall be based upon alleged  arrangements  or  agreements
made by Buyer or on Buyer's  behalf.  Seller hereby agrees to indemnify,  defend
and hold Buyer harmless from and against all loss,  liabilities,  costs, damages
and expenses (including  reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from any claims for
brokerage or finders'  fees,  commissions  or other similar fees,  including any
claim made by the Broker,  in connection  with the  transaction  covered by this
Agreement as such claims shall be based upon alleged  arrangements or agreements
made by Seller or on Seller's behalf. The covenants and agreements  contained in
this Article shall survive the  termination  of this Agreement or the Closing of
the transaction contemplated hereunder.


                                   ARTICLE 10

                        DEFAULT, TERMINATION AND REMEDIES

      10.1 Seller's  Default.  In the event that Seller shall have failed in any
material  respect  adverse to Buyer as of the Closing Date to have performed any
of the  covenants and  agreements  contained in this  Agreement  which are to be
performed  by Seller on or before the  Closing  Date or Seller  defaults  in its
obligation  to close  hereunder,  Buyer shall have the right to  terminate  this
Agreement  and receive the  Escrowed  Amount,  whereupon  this  Agreement  shall
terminate  without further  recourse.  Buyer hereby waives and  relinquishes any
right to sue Seller for any reason whatsoever,  and agrees that Seller shall not
be liable to Buyer for any actual, punitive, speculative, consequential or other
damages  for breach by Seller  prior to the  Closing,  except for payment of the
Escrowed  Amount.  IN NO EVENT SHALL  SELLER,  ITS DIRECT OR INDIRECT  PARTNERS,
SHAREHOLDERS,  OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF
THE  FOREGOING,  OR ANY  AFFILIATE  OR  CONTROLLING  PERSON  THEREOF,  HAVE  ANY
LIABILITY BEYOND ITS INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR ANY CLAIM,  CAUSE OF ACTION OR
OTHER  LIABILITY  ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS  AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY,
WHETHER BASED ON COMMON LAW, CONTRACT, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.

      10.2  Buyer's  Default.  In the event that Buyer  shall have failed in any
material  respect adverse to Seller as of the Closing Date to have performed any
of the  covenants and  agreements  contained in this  Agreement  which are to be
performed by Buyer on or before the Closing  Date,  or if Buyer  defaults in its
obligation to close hereunder,  Seller shall be entitled to receive the Escrowed
Amount as liquidated  damages, in lieu of all other remedies available to Seller
at law or in equity for such default, and Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to
release the Escrowed  Amount to Seller.  Seller and Buyer agree that the damages
resulting  to Seller as a result of such default by Buyer as of the date of this
Agreement are difficult or  impossible to ascertain and the  liquidated  damages
set forth in the preceding sentence  constitute Buyer's and Seller's  reasonable
estimate of such damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Buyer's
default or a  termination  of this  Agreement,  Seller  shall have all  remedies
available  at law or in  equity in the event  Buyer or any party  related  to or
affiliated  with Buyer  asserts any claims or rights to the Property  that would
otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible and marketable
title to the Property.

      10.3 Indemnity. Buyer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller
from  and  against  any  and  all  claims,  demands,  causes  of  action,  loss,
liabilities,  damages,  costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      11.1 Buyer's Representations and Warranties. Buyer represents and warrants
to Seller that:

            (a) Buyer is a limited liability company, duly organized and in good
      standing  under the laws of the State of  California,  is  qualified to do
      business  in the State of Texas and has the power and  authority  to enter
      into this  Agreement  and to execute and  deliver  this  Agreement  and to
      perform all duties and  obligations  imposed upon it hereunder.  As of the
      date of this  Agreement,  Buyer  has  obtained  all  necessary  corporate,
      partnership or other organizational  authorizations required in connection
      with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Each of the individuals
      executing  this  Agreement on Buyer's behalf is authorized to do so. Buyer
      has the financial  ability to pay the Purchase Price by tendering the Cash
      Balance,  and  performing  the other  covenants of Buyer set forth in this
      Agreement.

            (b) Neither the  execution nor the delivery of this  Agreement,  nor
      the consummation of the purchase and sale transaction contemplated hereby,
      nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this
      Agreement  conflict with or will result in the breach of any of the terms,
      conditions  or provisions of any agreement or instrument to which Buyer is
      a party or by which Buyer or any of Buyer's assets is bound;

            (c)   Buyer is not in any way affiliated with Seller;

            (d) No approval, consent, order or authorization of, or designation,
      registration or declaration with, any of the United States,  the States of
      California or Texas, any department,  board, agency, office, commission or
      other subdivisions  thereof, or any official thereof or any third party is
      required in  connection  with the valid  execution  and  delivery  of, and
      performance of the covenants of, this Agreement by Buyer.

            (e) There are no actions,  suits or  proceedings  pending or, to the
      knowledge  of Buyer,  threatened,  against or affecting  Buyer  which,  if
      determined  adversely  to Buyer,  would  adversely  affect its  ability to
      perform its obligations hereunder.

      As a condition  precedent to Seller's obligation to close the purchase and
sale transaction  contemplated in this Agreement,  Buyer's  representations  and
warranties  contained  herein  must  remain  and be true and  correct  as of the
Closing Date. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of
any facts,  conditions or circumstances  which render any of the representations
and warranties set forth in this Section 11.1 in any way inaccurate, incomplete,
incorrect or misleading.

      11.2  Seller's  Representations  and  Warranties.   Seller  is  a  general
partnership existing under the laws of the State of Texas.

            (a)  Subject to Section  12.20,  Seller  has full  right,  power and
      authority and is duly authorized to enter into this Agreement,  to perform
      each of the covenants on its part to be performed hereunder and to execute
      and deliver,  and to perform its obligations under all documents  required
      to be executed  and  delivered by it pursuant to this  Agreement  and this
      Agreement   constitutes  the  valid  and  binding   obligation  of  Seller
      enforceable in accordance with its terms.

            (b) Seller has directed its manager to deliver or to make  available
      to Buyer (i)  complete  copies of all  Leases,  (ii) the Rent Roll,  (iii)
      operating  statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997 and for
      the seven (7) months ended April 30, 1998,  all of which shall be true and
      correct in all material respects.

            (c) Seller has  caused  its  property  manager to deliver or to make
      available copies of all Property Contracts.

            (d) Seller has not been served with notice of any actions, suits, or
      proceedings  against or affecting  the Seller or the Property  that either
      (i)  are not  covered  by  applicable  insurance  or  (ii)  if  determined
      adversely to Seller would materially  affect the ownership or operation of
      the  Property or Seller's  ability to perform its  obligations  under this
      Agreement.

      Seller  reserves the right to update the  representations  and  warranties
made by it herein.  All of  Seller's  representations  and  warranties  shall be
deemed to be updated by  information  disclosed  to or obtained by  Purchaser in
connection with its due diligence investigations.

      11.3 Seller's Liability for Representations  and Warranties.  If, prior to
the Closing,  Buyer obtains actual knowledge that any representation or warranty
of Seller is inaccurate and Buyer nonetheless proceeds with the Closing,  Seller
shall have no  liability  for any such matter  regarding  which Buyer had actual
knowledge prior to Closing.

      11.4 Property  Conveyed "AS IS". (a)  NOTWITHSTANDING  ANYTHING  CONTAINED
HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY,  IT IS UNDERSTOOD  AND AGREED THAT,  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
SET FORTH HEREIN,  SELLER AND ITS PROPERTY MANAGER HAVE NOT MADE AND ARE NOT NOW

INVESTIGATIONS.  BUYER  ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT UPON CLOSING,  SELLER SHALL

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      12.1 Successors and Assigns.  Without the prior written consent of Seller,
Buyer shall not,  directly or  indirectly,  assign this  Agreement or any of its
rights  hereunder.  Any attempted  assignment in violation  hereof shall, at the
election  of Seller in its sole  discretion,  be of no force or effect and shall
constitute a default by Buyer.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing and so long as it
will not affect the Lender's  consent to or the timing of the Closing  Buyer may
elect to have a nominee entity accept title to the Property at Closing, provided
that any such nominee must be an affiliated entity controlled by or under common
control  with Buyer,  and Buyer  shall give  written  notice of such  nominee to
Seller,  together  with any  reasonable  evidence of  affiliation  requested  by
Seller,  a minimum of fifteen (15) days prior to Closing.  No  designation  of a
nominee to receive  title shall release  Buyer from its  obligations  under this
Agreement.

      12.2 Notices. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice
required or permitted to be delivered  under this Agreement  shall be in writing
and shall be deemed  given (i) when  delivered or refused if sent by hand during
regular  business  hours,  (ii) three (3) days after being sent by United States
Postal Service,  registered or certified mail,  postage prepaid,  return receipt
requested,  or (iii) on the next business day when sent by a reputable overnight
express mail service  that  provides  tracing and proof of receipt or refusal of
items mailed,  addressed to Seller or Buyer,  as the case may be, at the address
or  addresses  set  forth  below or such  other  addresses  as the  parties  may
designate  in a notice  similarly  sent.  Any notice  given by a party to Escrow
Agent shall be  simultaneously  given to the other party.  Any notice given by a
party to the other party  relating to its  entitlement  to the  Escrowed  Amount
shall be simultaneously given to the Escrow Agent.

      12.3  Construction.  Words of any gender used in this  Agreement  shall be
held and construed to include any other gender,  and words of a singular  number
shall be held to include the plural and vice versa,  unless the context requires
otherwise.

      12.4 Captions.  The captions used in connection  with the Articles of this
Agreement are for convenience  only and shall not be deemed to extend,  limit or
otherwise define or construe the meaning of the language of this Agreement.

      12.5 No Other Parties.  Nothing in this Agreement,  express or implied, is
intended  to confer upon any  person,  other than the  parties  hereto and their
respective  successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of
this Agreement.

      12.6  Amendments.  This  Agreement  may  be  amended  only  by  a  written
instrument executed by Seller and Buyer (or Buyer's assignee or transferee).

      12.7  Severability.  If any provision of this  Agreement or application to
any  party  or  circumstance  shall be  determined  by any  court  of  competent
jurisdiction  to be invalid and  unenforceable  to any extent,  the remainder of
this  Agreement  or  the  application  of  such  provision  to  such  person  or
circumstances,  other  than  those as to which it is so  determined  invalid  or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be
valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

      12.8  Applicable  Law.  This  Agreement  shall be  construed  under and in
accordance with the laws of state in which the Property is located.

      12.9  Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be  executed  in two (2) or more
counterparts,  each of which shall be an original but such counterparts together
shall constitute one and the same instrument notwithstanding that both Buyer and
Seller are not signatory to the same counterpart.

      12.10 Time of the Essence. Time is expressly declared to be of the essence
of this Agreement,  provided, however that in the event any date hereunder falls
on a Saturday,  Sunday or legal holiday,  the date applicable  shall be the next
business day.

      12.11 No Personal Liability.  The obligations of Seller hereunder shall be
binding only on the Property and neither Buyer nor anyone  claiming by,  through
or under  Buyer shall be entitled  to obtain any  judgment  extending  liability
beyond the Property or creating  personal  liability on the part of the partners
of the Seller or of the officers, directors, shareholders, advisors or agents of
Seller or Seller's partners or any of their successors.

      12.12 No Recordation.  Without the prior written consent of Seller,  there
shall be no recordation of either this  Agreement or any memorandum  hereof,  or
any affidavit  pertaining  hereto, and any such recordation of this Agreement or
memorandum hereto by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller shall
constitute a default hereunder by Buyer,  whereupon this Agreement shall, at the
option  of  Seller,  terminate  and be of no  further  force  and  effect.  Upon
termination,  the  Escrowed  Amount  shall be  immediately  delivered to Seller,
whereupon the parties shall have no further duties or obligations to one another
except as otherwise specifically provided herein.

      12.13 Waiver.  The excuse or waiver of the  performance  by a party of any
obligation  of the other party under this  Agreement  shall only be effective if
evidenced by a written statement signed by the party so excusing or waiving.  No
delay in exercising any right or remedy shall  constitute a waiver thereof,  and
no waiver by Seller or Buyer of the  breach of any  covenant  of this  Agreement
shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same
or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement.

      12.14 Binding On Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement  shall be binding
upon and  inure to the  benefit  of the  parties  hereto  and  their  respective
successors and assigns. Buyer shall have the right to assign this Agreement to a
newly  formed  Delaware  limited  liability  company  in which  the Buyer is the
managing  member.  No such  assignment  shall relieve the Buyer of any liability
hereunder.

      12.15 Entire  Agreement.  This Agreement  constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein,
and it supersedes all prior  discussions,  understandings or agreements  between
the  parties.  All  Exhibits and  Schedules  attached  hereto are a part of this
Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference.

      12.16  Construction  of Agreement.  This Agreement  shall not be construed
more  strictly  against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the
fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties,
it being  recognized that both Buyer and Seller have  contributed  substantially
and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.

      12.17 Further  Instruments.  Each party,  promptly upon the request of the
other,  shall  execute and have  acknowledged  and  delivered to the other or to
Escrow Agent, as may be appropriate,  any and all further instruments reasonably
requested or  appropriate  to evidence or give effect to the  provisions of this
Agreement and which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

      12.18 Buyer  Represented by Counsel.  Buyer hereby represents and warrants
to Seller that (i) Buyer is not in a significantly disparate bargaining position
in relation to Seller,  (ii) Buyer is represented by legal counsel in connection
with the transaction  contemplated by this Agreement,  and (iii) Buyer is buying
the Property for business,  commercial,  investment or other similar purpose and
not for use as Buyer's residence.

      12.19 Preparation of Documents. All of the documents to be executed at the
Closing shall be in the form prepared to the reasonable satisfaction of Seller's
and Buyer's  counsel and  delivered to Buyer on or before five (5) days prior to
the Closing  Date,  provided that the failure to timely  deliver such  documents
shall not constitute a default by Seller hereunder.

      12.20 Seller's Necessary Approvals.  Buyer acknowledges that Seller, as of
the date of this  Agreement,  needs  to  obtain  the  approval  of the  Board of
Directors  of Fourth  Income  Properties  Fund,  Inc.,  the  general  partner of
Arlington Towne Oaks Associates and PaineWebber  Income  Properties Four Limited
Partnership  to proceed  with this  transaction  (the  "Neccessary  Approvals").
Notwithstanding  any other provision of this Agreement,  Seller's  obligation to
proceed with the transaction  contemplated in this Agreement shall be contingent
upon Seller obtaining the Necessary Approvals. Seller covenants and agrees, upon
the  execution  and  unconditional  delivery  of this  Agreement  by the  Buyer,
together with the funding of the Deposit,  to promptly  apply for and diligently
pursue the Necessary  Approvals.  In the event the Necessary  Approvals have not
been  received by Seller by 5:00 p.m. on June 26,  1998,  Seller shall so notify
Buyer and Escrow  Agent,  and Escrow Agent shall  return the Escrowed  Amount to
Buyer,  Seller  shall  reimburse  Buyer for actual  costs  incurred  by Buyer in
connection  with its due  diligence  up to a total  amount of  $25,000.00,  this
Agreement  shall  terminate and neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any recourse
against the other (except to the extent such recourse  arises in connection with
a provision of this Agreement which is intended to survive termination).

shall be responsible for reporting the contemplated  sale of the Property to the

Designee with the  information  necessary to complete Form 1099-S;  (3) that the

                           STATE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

      14.1 Waivers of Deceptive  Trade  Practices  Act. Buyer  acknowledges  and
agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its assigns, that the Texas Deceptive
Trade  Practices - Consumer  Protection  Act,  Subchapter E of Chapter 17 of the
Texas  Business  and  Commerce  Code (the  "DTPA"),  is not  applicable  to this
transaction.  Accordingly,  Buyer's  rights and  remedies  with  respect to this
transaction,  and with  respect to all acts or  practices  of the  other,  past,
present or future,  in connection  with this  transaction,  shall be governed by
legal  principles other than the DTPA. In furtherance  thereof,  Buyer agrees as
follows:

            14.1.1 Buyer  represents that it is a business  consumer and that it
      seeks to acquire by purchase  or lease the goods or services  that are the
      subject of this  Agreement for  commercial or business use.  Buyer further
      represents  that it has knowledge and experience in financial and business
      matters  that enable it to evaluate  the merits and risks of the  business
      transaction  that is the subject of this Agreement.  Buyer also represents
      that  it is  not  in a  significantly  disparate  bargaining  position  in
      relation to Seller.

            14.1.2  Buyer  represents  that  Buyer  and its  affiliates,  in the
      aggregate,  have assets of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00)
      or more according to their most recent  financial  statements,  which were
      prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

            14.1.3  Buyer  represents  that it has  been  represented  by  legal
      counsel in seeking or acquiring the goods or services that are the subject
      of this Agreement and that the transaction  contemplated by this Agreement
      does not involve the purchase or lease of a family  residence  occupied or
      to be occupied as the residence of Buyer.

            14.1.4 Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its assigns,
      that  all of its  rights  and  remedies  under  the DTPA  are  WAIVED  AND
      RELEASED,  including  specifically,  without  limitation,  all  rights and
      remedies resulting from or arising out of any and all acts or practices of
      Seller in connection with this transaction, whether such acts or practices
      occur before or after the execution of this Agreement;  provided, however,
      notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  herein,  in  accordance  with
      Section  17.42 of the DTPA,  Buyer  does not waive  Section  17.555 of the
      DTPA.

                              PURCHASE AND SALE

      This FIRST AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this  "Amendment") is
entered  into  between   ARLINGTON  TOWNE  OAKS  ASSOCIATES,   a  Texas  general

      WHEREAS,  Seller and Buyer  entered  into that  certain  Purchase and Sale
Agreement  executed  by Buyer  and  Seller  effective  as of June 19,  1998 (the
"Agreement")  for that  certain  property  known as  Bristol  Pointe  Apartments
located in Arlington, Texas (the "premises");

      WHEREAS,  Seller  and Buyer  desire to amend the  Agreement  to extend the
Closing Date and change the Purchase Price;

      NOW,  THEREFORE,  for and in consideration  of the foregoing  premises and
other good and valuable consideration,  the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged and confessed, Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:

1. Seller and Buyer each confirms the truth and accuracy of the  recitals,  each
   of which are made part of this Amendment.

2. All  initial  capitalized  terms not  defined  herein  shall have the meaning
   ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.

3. Article 1 of the Agreement is hereby modified as follows:

      The definition of Purchase Price shall be changed to $11,300,000.00.

4. Section 3.1 of the Agreement is hereby modified as follows:

      The third and fourth  sentences are hereby deleted in their entirety,  and
      the  following  sentences  added to Section  3.1 in  replacement  of those
      deleted sentences:

            "Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary  contained  herein,  the
            Initial Deposit and the Final Deposit shall be nonrefundable  unless
            Seller is in default under Section 10.1 hereof. As of July 27, 1998,
            Buyer  shall  immediately  deposit  available  funds with the Escrow

            Agreement."

5. Section 7.3 of the Agreement is hereby modified as follows:

      The first  sentence  of Section  7.3 is deleted  in its  entirety  and the

            "Subject to Seller's right to extend the Closing Date as provided in
            Section 7.1 and Buyer's right to extend the Closing Date as provided
            in  Section  12.21,  the  consummation  of  the  purchase  and  sale
            contemplated in this Agreement (the  "Closing")  shall occur through
            an escrow  closing  arrangement  as described in Schedule F attached
            hereto on August 12, 1998 (the "Closing Date"), at the office of the
            Escrow Agent or through the escrow closing  arrangement set forth in
            the Form of Escrow Closing Instructions attached hereto Exhibit F."

6. The following  new Section  12.21 Buyer's  Option to Extend shall be added to
   Article 12 of the Agreement:

            "Buyer  shall have the option to extend the  Closing  Date to August
            19,  1998,  by written  notice to Seller,  received  by Seller on or
            before  August  12,  1998.  At the time Buyer  gives such  notice to
            Seller,  Buyer shall  immediately  deposit  available funds with the
            Escrow  Agent  in  the  sum of One  Hundred  Thousand  ($100,000.00)
            Dollars  (the   "Extension   Deposit")  to  further  secure  Buyer's
            obligations hereunder.  The Extension Deposit, if any, together with
            the Initial  Deposit,  the Final  Deposit and all  interest  accrued
            thereon shall  collectively  be referred to as the "Escrow  Amount".
            The  Escrowed  Amount  shall be  applied  to the  Purchase  Price if
            Closing  occurs as provided  in Section  3.2(c)  above,  or shall be
            retained by Seller if the Closing  does not occur except is due to a
            default of Seller hereunder."

7.    Except as modified hereby, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall
      continue  in full force and  effect.  This  Amendment  may be  executed in
      multiple counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which
      together  shall  constitute  one  agreement.  In  order  to  expedite  the
      execution of this  Amendment,  a facsimile  signature shall be binding and
      have the same effect as an original signature.

      3. Improvements.  The "Improvements" shall mean all buildings,  structures

      7.  Assumption.  This  Assignment  is made on and subject to the following
terms and conditions:

      a. It is specifically agreed that Assignor shall not be responsible to the
lessees  under the  Leases  for  discharge  and  performance  of any  duties and
obligations to be performed and/or discharged by the lessor thereunder after the
effective date hereof.  By its acceptance of this  Assignment,  Assignee  hereby
accepts and agrees,  for the  benefit of  Assignor  only,  to perform all of the
terms,  covenants and conditions of the Leases on the part of the lessor therein
required to be  performed,  from and after the  effective  date hereof,  but not
prior  thereto,  including,  but not  limited  to,  the  obligation  to repay in
accordance  with the terms of the Leases to the lessees  thereunder any security
and prepaid rental deposits to the extent (and only to the extent) of the amount
of cash  delivered  or credited to  Assignee by Assignor  (with  respect to such
security and prepaid rental  deposits) in connection with the acquisition of the
Real  Property by Assignee from  Assignor of even date  herewith.  The foregoing
assumption  shall not be construed as an assumption of personal  liability  with

other third party.

      b. It is further  agreed that Assignee is not  responsible  to the lessees
under the Leases for the discharge of the lessor's obligations  thereunder prior
