                 KRESCENT INCREASES OFFER TO PURCHASE UNITS TO
                                 $440 PER UNIT

                   OFFER EXTENDED TO FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1997

                      AHI TERMINATES ITS 4.9% TENDER OFFER

                 Krescent Partners L.L.C. ("Krescent") has increased its offer
price to purchase Units of Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-V (the
"Partnership") to $440 PER UNIT.  Krescent has also entered into an agreement
with American Holdings I, L.P. ("AHI") pursuant to which AHI will purchase a
portion of the Units tendered to Krescent in the Offer.  In contemplation of
this agreement, AHI TERMINATED ITS OFFER TO PURCHASE UP TO 4.9% OF THE
OUTSTANDING UNITS.  To the best of Krescent's and AHI's knowledge, as of the
date of this letter, KRESCENT'S OFFER IS THE ONLY OUTSTANDING TENDER OFFER to
purchase Units in the Partnership.  The Offer has also been extended until
midnight, New York City time, on January 31, 1997.

                 The materials included in this package include important
information concerning the amended terms and conditions to the Offer,
information concerning AHI, and instructions for tendering your Units.  It is
important that you take some time to read carefully the enclosed Supplement to
the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and other accompanying
materials in order to evaluate the Offer being made by Krescent.

         In addition to the information previously provided to you, in
considering the Offer, Unitholders are urged to consider the following factors:

         o       Although Krescent and AHI cannot predict the future value of
                 the Partnership's assets on a per Unit basis, the Purchase
                 Price offered could differ significantly from the net proceeds
                 that would be realized from a current sale of the properties
                 owned by the Partnership (the "Properties") or that may be
                 realized upon a future liquidation of the Partnership.
                 Krescent and AHI believe, however, such a sale is presently
                 unlikely because the Partnership's existing mortgage
                 indebtedness is subject to a prepayment premium or is not
                 prepayable until the fall of 1998 (and thereafter is subject,
                 for a period of time, to certain prepayment penalties).
                 Accordingly, Krescent and AHI believe that the underlying
                 value of the Properties, and hence the value of the Units, may
                 not be realized for a number of years.  There can be no
                 assurance, however, that either or both of the Properties will
                 not be sold subject to their existing mortgage indebtedness or
                 that the lenders under such mortgage loans will not waive or
                 modify such prepayment penalties which, in either event, would
                 facilitate or improve the economics associated with a sale of
                 the Properties.

         o       Krescent and AHI are making the Offer with a view to making a
                 profit.  Accordingly, there may be a conflict between their
                 desire to acquire the Units at a low price and your desire to
                 sell your Units at a high price.  The Purchase Price of $440
                 is approximately 97% and 83%, respectively, of Krescent's 
                 and AHI's respective estimates of the liquidation value of the
                 Partnership's assets on a per Unit basis of approximately $451
                 and $528 assuming such assets were sold today.

         o       If Krescent and AHI are successful in acquiring a significant
                 number of Units as a result of the Offer, each could,
                 following the Standstill Expiration Date (as defined in the
                 Offer), be in a position to significantly influence all
                 Partnership decisions on which Unitholders may vote, including
                 decisions regarding removal of any General Partner, merger,
                 sales of assets and liquidation of the Partnership.

         o       The Partnership has historically performed poorly.  According
                 to Partnership Profiles as of June 15, 1996, since the
                 inception of the Partnership in 1983, original investors have
                 received total cumulative distributions of only $127 on an
                 original investment of $1,000 per Unit.

                 IF YOU PREVIOUSLY TENDERED UNITS TO KRESCENT, YOU WILL
AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE THE HIGHER PRICE WITHOUT TAKING ANY FURTHER ACTION.  If
you desire additional information regarding the Offer or need assistance in
tendering your Units, you may call The Herman Group, Inc., which is acting as
Information Agent/Depositary for the Offer, at (800) 738-5516.  Informed and

         Krescent Partners L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the
"Purchaser"), hereby supplements and amends its offer to purchase up to 8,380
Units of Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-V, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase dated November 21,
1996, as supplemented and amended, by this Supplement dated January 10, 1997
and by the related Letter of Transmittal.  Capitalized terms used but not
otherwise defined in this Supplement shall have the meanings set forth in the
Offer to Purchase.

                                  INTRODUCTION

         The "Introduction" to the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented and
amended as follows:

         The Purchaser hereby amends the Offer to increase the Purchase Price
to $440 per Unit, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, less the
aggregate amount of any distributions per Unit declared or made by the
Partnership after November 21, 1996 and on or prior to the Expiration Date,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase, as amended, and the related Letter of Transmittal, as each may be
supplemented or amended from time to time. In addition, if a distribution is
made or declared after the Expiration Date but prior to the date on which the
Purchaser pays the Purchase Price for the tendered Units, the Purchaser will
offset the amount otherwise due a Unitholder pursuant to the Offer in respect
of the tendered Units which has been accepted for payment but not yet paid for
by the amount of any such distribution.

         On January 8, 1997, the Purchaser entered into an agreement with
American Holdings I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("AHI"), pursuant to
which AHI agreed to join the Purchaser in making the Offer (the "Krescent-AHI
Agreement").  Pursuant to the Krescent-AHI Agreement, the Purchaser and AHI
have agreed, among other things, (i) for the Purchaser to sell to AHI
approximately 41.8% of the Units (subject to increase as described in Section
11 ("Background of the Offer")) acquired pursuant to the Offer at the Purchase
Price per Unit plus a pro rata portion of the applicable expenses relating to
the Offer and the AHI Offer (as defined below), (ii) that they will jointly
control the conduct of the Offer and (iii) AHI has or will terminate its Offer
to Purchase up to 4.9% of the Units.  The purpose of this Supplement is to
describe the terms of the Krescent-AHI Agreement and to provide Unitholders
with background information regarding AHI and its affiliates.

         In considering the Offer, Unitholders are advised that (i) AHI is not
affiliated with the General Partners and (ii) the same factors applicable to
the Purchaser as set forth in the Introduction to the Offer to Purchase are
also separately applicable to AHI.  However, the number of Units that the
Purchaser and AHI seek to acquire pursuant to the Offer remains limited to
8,380 Units.

         All references in the Offer to Purchase that relate to the Purchaser's
rights regarding the conduct of the Offer, including, without limitation, the
validity of tenders, the extension of the Offer or the waiver of any
conditions, shall refer jointly to the Purchaser and AHI.

                                THE TENDER OFFER

         1.  TERMS OF THE OFFER.

         Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented and amended
as follows:

         The term "Expiration Date" shall mean 12:00 midnight, New York City
time, on January 31, 1997, unless the Purchaser and AHI, in their sole
discretion, shall have further extended the period of time during which the
Offer is open, in which event the term "Expiration Date" shall refer to the
latest time and date at which the Offer, as so extended by the Purchaser and
AHI, will expire.

         3.  PROCEDURES FOR TENDERING UNITS.

         Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented and amended
as set forth below.

         In the paragraph captioned "Appointment as Proxy; Power of Attorney",
the following is inserted before the last sentence of the first paragraph
thereof:  "The Purchaser may assign such proxy and/or power of attorney to any
person with or without assigning the related Units with respect to which such
proxy and/or power of attorney was granted."

         In the paragraph captioned "Assignment of Entire Interest in the
Partnership" the following is inserted after the first sentence thereof:  "The
Purchaser reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or from time to
time in part, to AHI, the right to purchase Units tendered pursuant to the
Offer, together with the Purchaser's rights under the Letter of Transmittal,
but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the Purchaser of its
obligations under the Offer or prejudice the rights of tendering Unitholders to
receive payment for Units validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to
the Offer."

         7.  EFFECTS OF THE OFFER.

         Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented and amended
by amending and restating the caption "Control Of All Unitholder Voting
Decisions by Purchaser" in its entirety as follows:

         CONTROL OF ALL UNITHOLDER VOTING DECISIONS BY PURCHASER AND AHI.  The
Purchaser and AHI will have the right to vote each Unit acquired by them
pursuant to the Offer.  If the Purchaser and AHI are successful in acquiring a
significant number of Units pursuant to the Offer, and following the Standstill
Expiration Date, each of the Purchaser and AHI could be in a position to
significantly influence all Partnership decisions on which Investor Limited
Partners may vote.  If the maximum number of Units sought by the Purchaser are
tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, the Purchaser and AHI
will own approximately 11.9% and 8.6% of the outstanding Units, respectively.
The Units acquired by the Purchaser and AHI will also be subject to a buy/sell
arrangement commencing one year following the Offer that could result in a
consolidation of the Units acquired pursuant to the Offer with either the
Purchaser or AHI.  After the Standstill Expiration Date, the ownership of
tendered Units by the Purchaser and/or AHI could effectively (i) prevent
non-tendering Unitholders from taking action they desire but that the Purchaser
or AHI opposes and (ii) enable the Purchaser or AHI to take action desired by
it but opposed by non-tendering Unitholders.  Under the Partnership Agreement,
a majority in interest of the Investor Limited Partners are entitled to take
action with respect to a variety of matters, including: removal of any General
Partner; termination of the Partnership; sale of all or substantially all of
the Partnership's properties; and most types of amendments to the Partnership
Agreement.  Although neither the Purchaser nor AHI has any current intentions
with regard to any of these matters, each of them will, following the
Standstill Expiration Date, vote the Units acquired pursuant to the Offer in
its interest, which may, or may not, be in the best interest of non-tendering
Unitholders.  Until the Standstill Expiration Date, the Purchaser and AHI have
agreed to vote their Units in the same proportion to the votes of all other
Investor Limited Partners who vote on any proposals.  See Section 8 ("Purpose
of the Offer; Future Plans") for certain contractual limitations on the
Purchaser and AHI regarding their participation in certain extraordinary
transactions involving the Partnership, including the solicitation of proxies
to replace the General Partners.

         8.  PURPOSE OF THE OFFER; FUTURE PLANS.

         The first paragraph of "Purpose of the Offer" and the first paragraph
of "Future Plans", each under Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase, are hereby
supplemented and amended to change all references to "the Purchaser" to "the
Purchaser and AHI" and to make all grammatical changes in connection therewith
as the context requires.

         Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby further supplemented and
amended to amend and restate the second paragraph under the caption "Future
Plans" in its entirety:

         Pursuant to an Agreement dated November 21, 1996 between the Purchaser
and Liquidity Financial Group, L.P., an affiliate of Liquidity Financial, the
Purchaser agreed to become bound by the restrictions set forth in the
Standstill Agreement with respect to the Partnership.  As a result, the
Purchaser agreed that, prior to the Standstill Expiration Date, it will not and
it will cause certain affiliates not to (i) acquire, attempt to acquire or make
a proposal to acquire, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the outstanding
Units, (ii) propose or propose to enter into, directly or indirectly, any
merger, consolidation, business combination, sale or acquisition of assets,
liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the
Partnership, (iii) make, or in any way participate, directly or indirectly, in
any solicitation of "proxies" or "consents" (as such terms are used in the
proxy rules of the Commission) to vote, or seek to advise or influence any
person with respect to the voting of any voting securities of the Partnership,
(iv) form, join or otherwise participate in a "group" (within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of
the Partnership unless each member of such group agrees in writing to be bound
by the terms of the Standstill Agreement, provided, however, that those
affiliates bound by the Standstill Agreement will not be deemed to be acting in
a "group" in violation of it solely by virtue of voting in compliance with the
Standstill Agreement, (v) sell, transfer or assign any Units to any person or
entity not bound by the terms and conditions of the Standstill Agreement, (vi)
disclose any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with the terms of the
Standstill Agreement, or (vii) loan money to, advise, assist or encourage any
person in connection with any action restricted or prohibited by the terms of
the Standstill Agreement.  Pursuant to an Assumption Agreement dated January 8,
1997 between AHI and Liquidity Financial Group, L.P. (a copy of which has been
filed as Exhibit (c)(8) to Amendment No. 4 to the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 filed with the Commission on January 10, 1997), AHI agreed to
become bound by the restrictions set forth in the Standstill Agreement with
respect to the Partnership.  As a result, AHI agreed that, prior to the
Standstill Expiration Date, it will not, and it will cause certain affiliates
not to, take any of the foregoing actions prohibited by the Standstill
Agreement.

         10.  CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PURCHASER AND AHI.

         Section 10 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented and amended
as follows:

         AHI is a Delaware limited partnership.  Its general partner is
American Holdings I-GP, Inc. (the "AHI General Partner"), a Delaware
corporation which is wholly owned by American Real Estate Holdings, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership ("AREH"). The general partner of AREH is American
Property Investors, Inc. ("API"), a Delaware corporation which is wholly-owned
by Carl C. Icahn.  The address of the principal offices of each of AHI, the AHI
General Partner, AREH and API is 100 South Bedford Road, Mount Kisco, New York
10549.  Mr. Icahn's business address is c/o Icahn Associates Corp., 114 W. 47th
Street, New York, New York 10036.

         AHI and the AHI General Partner were recently formed for the purpose
of acquiring Units pursuant to an offer by AHI to purchase up to 4.9% of the
Units at a purchase price of $390 per Unit (the "AHI Offer") and acquiring the
securities of certain other limited partnerships.  AREH is engaged in the
business of acquiring and managing real estate and activities related thereto.
API is engaged in the business of acting as general partner of AREH and of
American Real Estate Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership which is
the limited partner of AREH.  Mr. Icahn's present principal occupation or
employment is set forth on Schedule I to this Supplement and incorporated
herein by reference.

         For certain information concerning the executive officers and
directors of the AHI General Partner and API, see Schedule I to this
Supplement.

         Neither AHI, the AHI General Partner, AREH, API, Mr. Icahn, nor any
executive officer or director of the AHI General Partner or API has, during the
past five years, (a) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) been a party to a civil proceeding
of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result

enjoining





                                       3
<PAGE>   4
future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state
securities laws or a finding of any violation of such laws.  Except as set
forth below in this Supplement, (i) neither AHI, the AHI General Partner, AREH,
API, Mr. Icahn nor, to the best of AHI's knowledge, any of the persons listed
on Schedule I to this Supplement, nor any affiliate of the foregoing
beneficially owns or has a right to acquire any Units, (ii) neither AHI, the
AHI General Partner, AREH, API, Mr. Icahn nor, to the best of AHI's knowledge,
any of the persons listed on Schedule I to this Supplement, nor any affiliate
of the foregoing has effected any transaction in the Units within the past 60
days, (iii) neither AHI, the AHI General Partner, AREH, API, Mr. Icahn nor, to
the best of AHI's knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule I to this
Supplement, nor any affiliate of the foregoing has any contract, arrangement,
understanding or relationship with any other person with respect to any
securities of the Partnership, including, but not limited to, contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships concerning the transfer or voting
thereof, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees
of loans, guarantees against loss or the giving or withholding of proxies, (iv)
there have been no transactions or business relationships which would be
required to be disclosed under the rules and regulations of the Commission
between any of AHI, the AHI General Partner, AREH, API, Mr. Icahn nor, to the
best of AHI's knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule I to this
Supplement, on the one hand, and the Partnership or its affiliates, on the
other hand, and (v) there have been no contracts, negotiations or transactions
between AHI, the AHI General Partner, AREH, API, Mr. Icahn nor, to the best of
AHI's knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule I to this Supplement, on
the one hand, and the Partnership or its affiliates, on the other hand,
concerning a merger, consolidation or acquisition, tender offer or other
acquisition of securities, an election of directors or a sale or other transfer
of a material amount of assets.

         An affiliate of AHI purchased 20 Units in 1995 in auction transactions
utilizing the Chicago Partnership Board, Inc.  In addition, AHI acquired 45
Units in December 1996 at a price of $390 per Unit pursuant to the AHI Offer.
In the aggregate, such Units represent less than 1% of the number of Units
outstanding as reported in the Form 10-K (the most recently available filing
containing such information).

         11.  BACKGROUND OF THE OFFER.

         Section 11 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented and amended
as follows:

         By letter dated November 4, 1996, Longacre Corp., an affiliate of AHI,
contacted the Partnership and the General Partners to request lists of the
names, addresses and telephone numbers of the Unitholders of the Partnership
and certain other limited partnerships sponsored by the General Partners.
Counsel to the Partnership responded to Longacre's request on November 12, 1996
by refusing to furnish such lists.  On or about November 22, 1996, counsel to
Longacre contacted representatives of the General Partners and suggested that,
in consideration of the General Partners agreeing to furnish the lists,
Longacre would be prepared to enter into a standstill agreement relating to the
Partnership and such other partnerships containing terms substantially similar
to those contained in the Standstill Agreement executed by LFG.  Longacre and a
General Partner signed such a standstill agreement (the "Longacre Standstill
Agreement") on November 26, 1996.  On November 27, 1996, a General Partner
provided Longacre with lists of the Unitholders of the Partnership and certain
of the other partnerships covered by the Longacre Standstill Agreement.

         Under the Longacre Standstill Agreement, Longacre and its affiliates
are required to deliver to the General Partners, five days before mailing or
other dissemination, any communication to be given by them to one or more
investors in the Partnership or any other Krupp partnership covered by the
Longacre Standstill Agreement.  Accordingly, on or about November 25, 1996,
counsel to AHI delivered to a General Partner copies of offer materials
relating to the AHI Offer.  A General Partner waived the five-day requirement
with respect to such materials by letter to counsel to AHI, dated November 27,
1996.

         AHI commenced the AHI Offer on November 29, 1996.  In anticipation of
entering into the Krescent-AHI  Agreement (as defined below), AHI terminated
the AHI Offer on December 6, 1996.  Prior to termination of the AHI Offer, 45
Units were received by AHI's depositary.

         During the week of December 2, 1996, representatives of AHI and the
Purchaser began discussing terms upon which AHI would (i) join the Purchaser in
making the Offer and (ii) terminate the AHI Offer.  These discussions resulted
in the execution of a letter agreement, dated January 8, 1997 (the
"Krescent-AHI Agreement"), a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit (c)(9) to
Amendment No. 4 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 filed with the
Commission on January 10, 1997.  The Krescent-AHI Agreement provides that,
among other things: (i) all decisions relating to the conduct of the Offer will
be made jointly by the Purchaser and AHI; (ii) AHI will initially purchase
41.8% of the Units





                                       4
<PAGE>   5
tendered to the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer for a purchase price equal to
the Purchase Price payable by the Purchaser to Unitholders; (iii) if, after the
exercise and/or expiration of all outstanding options or other rights to
acquire an interest in the Purchaser, the direct and indirect percentage
ownership interest of Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund II, L.P. and its
affiliates (the "Apollo Group") in the Purchaser exceeds 83.6%, then AHI will
be entitled to purchase additional Units from the Purchaser so that, after
giving effect to such purchase, the total percentage of Units purchased by AHI
from the Purchaser equals 50% of such percentage interest of the Apollo Group
in the Purchaser; (iv) at any time after the first anniversary of the purchase
of Units pursuant to the Offer and so long as AHI and the Purchaser (and/or
their respective affiliates) own at least 2% of the outstanding Units, each of
AHI and the Purchaser has the right to initiate a buy/sell right pursuant to
which either AHI or the Purchaser may offer to buy Units from the other and the
other must either sell such Units to the offering party or buy the offering
party's Units at a purchase price per Unit and on such other terms and
conditions as set forth in the initiating party's offer; and (v) AHI and the
Purchaser will share the costs and expenses of the Offer and the costs and
expenses of the AHI Offer in the same percentages as their right to purchase
Units pursuant to the Offer.  After the purchase of Units pursuant to the Offer
and except as set forth above, there is no contract, agreement or understanding
between the Purchaser and AHI with respect to voting or disposing of Units or
with respect to any action relating to the Partnership.

         On December 10, 1996, counsel for the Purchaser contacted counsel for
the Partnership with regard to amending the Standstill Agreement in order to
clarify an issue relating to participation in a "group" (within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act).  During the week of December 16, 1996,
counsel for the Purchaser and counsel for the Partnership discussed group
participation issues and the proposed Krescent-AHI Agreement, as well as
certain concerns of the Partnership relating to the conduct of the Offer.  The
Purchaser and AHI satisfied the Partnership's concerns and, on January 6, 1997,
an amendment to the Standstill Agreement was executed to allow "group"
participation, formation or otherwise if each member of such group agrees to be
bound by the terms of the Standstill Agreement.

         On January 8, 1997, Longacre and the General Partner amended the
Longacre Standstill Agreement to delete the Partnership and certain other
partnerships sponsored by the General Partners from the schedule of
partnerships covered thereby.  Concurrently with the execution of such
amendment, AHI assumed the obligations of LFG under the Standstill Agreement
with respect to the Partnership and certain other partnerships.

         On January 8, 1997, the Purchaser and Liquidity Financial Group, L.P.
amended that certain option agreement, dated November 21, 1996, to clarify an
ambiguity relating to the exercise of that option and explicitly set forth that
the option may be exercised for the six month period following the latest date
the Purchaser accepts securities in any tender offer.

         On January 3, 1997 and again on January 7, 1997, counsel for the
Purchaser contacted counsel for the Partnership requesting a waiver of the five
business day notice provision in the Standstill Agreement. On January 8, 1997,
counsel for the Partnership indicated that the Partnership was not prepared to
consent to the Purchaser's waiver request at that time. Such waiver request was
subsequently granted on January 10, 1997 following discussions among 
representatives of and counsel for the Purchaser, AHI and the Partnership.  

         12.  SOURCE OF FUNDS.

         Section 12 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated as
follows:

         The Purchaser and AHI expect that an aggregate of $3,687,200
(exclusive of fees and expenses) would be required to purchase the Units sought
pursuant to the Offer, if tendered.  Therefore, the Purchaser expects that
approximately $2,145,950 (exclusive of fees and expenses) would be required to
purchase 58.2% of the Units sought pursuant to the Offer, if tendered.  The
Purchaser presently contemplates that it will obtain all of such funds from
capital contributions from its members who have an aggregate net worth
substantially in excess of the amount required to purchase the Units.  One of
the Purchaser's members, Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund II, L.P., has
capital commitments from institutional and other investors for aggregate
amounts that exceed $500 million.  However, the Purchaser may seek to obtain
debt financing to facilitate the purchase of Units, but no commitment has been
obtained for any such debt financing.

         AHI expects that approximately $1,541,250 (exclusive of fees and
expenses) would be required to purchase 41.8% of the Units sought pursuant to
the Offer, if tendered.  AHI presently contemplates that it will obtain all of
such funds from capital contributions from its partners, who have an aggregate
net worth substantially in excess of the amount required to purchase such
Units.

         13.  PURCHASE PRICE CONSIDERATIONS.

         Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented and amended
to add the following paragraph:

         The Purchaser, together with its financial advisor, established the
Purchase Price based on its and its financial advisor's own independent
analysis of the Partnership, the Properties, the other assets of the
Partnership and the financial condition of the Partnership.  No appraisal was
obtained for any of the Properties, and no independent person was retained by
the Purchaser to render any valuation or fairness opinion.  The Purchaser
derived the estimated liquidation value per Unit from its analysis of financial
information from publicly-available information in the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q,
its review of the property information therein and its independent analysis of
the markets in which the Properties are located.  The Purchaser made numerous
assumptions and certain adjustments to the Partnership's operating statements
(to reflect capital expenses) and certain other items including, without
limitation, assuming annual capital expenditures of $400 per unit at each of
the Properties and assuming the current management fees of 5% of gross receipts
continued. The liquidation value was derived by taking into account the other
assets and liabilities of the Partnership as set forth in the Form 10-K, and
certain other factors, resulting in an estimated liquidation value of
$15,859,787.  Dividing that amount by the number of Units outstanding, the
Purchaser arrived at an estimated liquidation value per Unit of approximately
$451.  AHI has separately derived an estimated liquidation value per Unit from
its analysis of the publicly-available financial and property information
described above and its independent analysis of the markets in which the
Properties are located. AHI also made numerous assumptions and certain
adjustments to the Partnership's operating statements including, without
limitation, annualizing revenues and expenses relating specifically to the
Properties from the Form 10-Q, using annual capital expenditures of $200 per
unit and an assumed management fee of 4%. AHI's estimate of liquidation value
was derived by taking into account the other assets and liabilities of the
Partnership as set forth in the Form 10-Q and certain other factors, resulting
in an estimated liquidation value of $18,596,682 or $528 per Unit. THE
FOREGOING AMOUNTS ARE ONLY ESTIMATES. The amount of adjusted net operating
income and other assets used to establish estimated liquidation value will vary
from period to period.  If the Purchaser or AHI used results from another
period and used the same analysis, the estimated liquidation value may vary.
In addition, a different valuation formula may result in higher or lower
estimated valuations for the Properties.

         14.  CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER

         The first paragraph of Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby
amended and restated as follows:

         Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Offer and in addition to
(and not in limitation of) the Purchaser's and AHI's rights to extend and amend
the Offer at any time in their sole discretion, neither the Purchaser nor AHI
shall be required to accept for payment, subject to Rule 14e-1(c) under the
Exchange Act, any tendered Units, and may terminate the Offer as to any Units

Offer, each of the Purchaser and AHI will have full rights to ownership as to
all such Units and each of the Purchaser and AHI will be admitted as a

expirations of waiting periods imposed by, any court, administrative agency or
commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or

Offer shall not have been filed, occurred or been obtained.  Furthermore,
notwithstanding any other term of the Offer, the Purchaser and AHI will 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 therefore, any of the following

THE OFFER, PRORATION PERIOD AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT MIDNIGHT, NEW
YORK CITY TIME, ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1997 (THE "EXPIRATION DATE") UNLESS SUCH
OFFER IS EXTENDED.

    The undersigned hereby tender(s) to Krescent Partners L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company or its assignee(s) (the "Purchaser"), the number of
units of Investor Limited Partnership Interests ("Units") of Krupp Realty
Limited Partnership-V, a Massachusetts limited partnership (the "Partnership"),
specified above, pursuant to the Purchaser's offer to purchase up to 8,380 of
the issued and outstanding Units at a purchase price of $440 per Unit, net to
the seller in cash (the "Purchase Price"), without interest thereon, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated
November 21, 1996, as supplemented and amended, (the "Offer to Purchase") and
this Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal", which, together with
the Offer to Purchase and any supplements, modifications or amendments thereto,
constitute the "Offer"), all as more fully described in the Offer to Purchase.
The Purchase Price will be automatically reduced by the aggregate amount of
distributions per Unit, if any, made or declared by the Partnership after
November 21, 1996 and on or prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on
January 31, 1997 (the "Expiration Date").  In addition, if a distribution is
made or declared after the Expiration Date but prior to the date on which the
Purchaser pays the Purchase Price for the tendered Units, the Purchaser will
offset the amount otherwise due a holder of Units pursuant to the Offer in
respect of tendered Units which have been accepted for payment but not yet paid
for by the amount of any such distribution.  UNITHOLDERS WHO TENDER THEIR UNITS
WILL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO PAY ANY COMMISSIONS OR PARTNERSHIP TRANSFER FEES,
WHICH COMMISSIONS OR PARTNERSHIP TRANSFER FEES WILL BE BORNE BY THE PURCHASER.
Receipt of the Offer to Purchase is hereby acknowledged.  Capitalized terms
used but not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in
the Offer to Purchase.

    By executing and delivering this Letter of Transmittal a tendering
Unitholder irrevocably appoints the Purchaser and designees of the Purchaser
and each of them as such Unitholder's proxies, with full power of substitution,
in the manner set forth in this Letter of Transmittal to the full extent of
such Unitholder's rights with respect to the Units tendered by such Unitholder
and accepted for payment by the Purchaser (and with respect to any and all
other Units or other securities issued or issuable in respect of such Unit on
or after the date hereof).  All such proxies shall be considered irrevocable
and coupled with an interest in the tendered Units.  Such appointment will be
effective when, and only to the extent that, the Purchaser accepts such Units
for payment.  Upon such acceptance for payment, all prior proxies given by such
Unitholder with respect to such Units (and such other Units and securities)
will be revoked without further action, and no subsequent proxies may be given
nor any subsequent written consent executed (and, if given or executed, will
not be deemed effective).  The Purchaser and its designees will, with respect
to the Units (and such other Units and securities) for which such appointment
is effective, 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 or any adjournment or postponement thereof, by written consent in
lieu of any such meeting or otherwise.  The Purchaser may assign such proxy
and/or power-of-attorney to any person with or without assigning the related
Units with respect to which such proxy and/or power-of-attorney was granted.
The Purchaser reserves the right to require that, in order for a Unit to be
deemed validly tendered, immediately upon the Purchaser's payment for such
Unit, the Purchaser must be able to exercise full voting rights with respect to
such Unit and other securities, including voting at any meeting of Unitholders.

    By executing and delivering the Letter of Transmittal, a tendering
Unitholder also irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser and its
designees as the Unitholder's attorneys-in-fact, each with full power of
substitution to the extent of the Unitholder's rights with respect to the Units
tendered by the Unitholder and accepted for payment by the Purchaser.  Such
appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent that, the Purchaser
accepts the tendered Units for payment.  Upon such acceptance for payment, all
prior powers of attorney granted by the Unitholder with respect to such Unit
will, without further action, be revoked, and no subsequent powers of attorney
may be granted (and if granted will not be effective).  Pursuant to such
appointment as attorneys-in-fact, the Purchaser and its designees each will
have the power, among other things, (i) to seek to transfer ownership of such
Units on the Partnership's books maintained by the transfer agent for the
Partnership (and execute and deliver any accompanying evidences of transfer and
authenticity any of them may deem necessary or appropriate in connection
therewith, including, without limitation, any documents or instruments required
to be executed under a "Transferor's (Seller's) Application for Transfer"
created by the NASD, if required), (ii) upon receipt by the Information
Agent/Depositary (as the tendering Unitholder's agent) of the Purchase Price,
to become a Substitute Limited Partner, to receive any and all distributions
made by the Partnership after the Expiration Date, and to receive all benefits
and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Units in
accordance with the terms of the Offer, (iii) to execute and deliver to the
Partnership and/or the General Partners (as the case may be) a change of
address form instructing the Partnership to send any and all future
distributions to which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to the terms of the
Offer in respect of tendered Units to the address specified in such form and
(iv) to endorse any check payable to or upon the order of such Unitholder
representing a distribution to which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to the
terms of the Offer, in each case on behalf of the tendering Unitholder.  If
legal title to the Units is held through an IRA or KEOGH or similar account,
the Unitholder understands that this Letter of Transmittal must be signed by
the custodian of such IRA or KEOGH account and the Unitholder hereby authorizes
and directs the custodian of such IRA or KEOGH to confirm this Letter of
Transmittal.  This Power of Attorney shall not be affected by the subsequent
mental disability of the Unitholder, and the Purchaser shall not be required to
post bond in any nature in connection with this Power of Attorney.  The
Purchaser may assign such Power of Attorney to any person with or without
assigning the related Units with respect to which such Power of Attorney was
granted.

    By executing and delivering this Letter of Transmittal, a tendering
Unitholder irrevocably assigns to the Purchaser and its assigns all of the
right, title and interest of such Unitholder in the Partnership with respect to
the Units tendered and purchased pursuant to the Offer, including, without
limitation, such Unitholder's right, title and interest in and to any and all
distributions made by the Partnership after the Expiration Date in respect of
the Units tendered by such Unitholder and accepted for payment by the
Purchaser, regardless of the fact that the record date for any such
distribution may be a date prior to the Expiration Date.  The Purchaser
reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in
part, to one or more persons, the right to purchase Units tendered pursuant to
the Offer, together with the Purchaser's rights under this Letter of
Transmittal, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the Purchaser
of its obligations under the Offer or prejudice the rights of tendering
Unitholders to receive payment for Units validly tendered and accepted for
payment pursuant to the Offer.  The Purchaser will seek to be admitted to the
Partnership as a Substitute Limited Partner upon consummation of the Offer.  By
executing and delivering this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned, being a
tendering Unitholder, expressly intends the Purchaser to become a Substitute
Limited Partner.

    By executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned represents that
either (a) the undersigned is not a plan subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") or Section 4975 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or an entity deemed
to hold "plan assets" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 of any
such plan; or (b) the tender and acceptance of Units pursuant to the Offer will
not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.

    The undersigned recognizes that, if proration is required pursuant to the
terms of the Offer, the Purchaser will accept for payment from among those
Units validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not properly
withdrawn, the maximum number of Units permitted pursuant to the Offer on a pro
rata basis, with adjustments to avoid purchases of certain fractional Units and
purchases which would violate the terms of the Offer, based upon the number of
Units validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn.

    The undersigned understands that a tender of Units to the Purchaser will
constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.  The undersigned
recognizes that under certain circumstances set forth in Section 2 ("Proration;
Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Units") and Section 14 ("Conditions of
the Offer") of the Offer to Purchase, the Purchaser may not be required to
accept for payment any of the Units tendered hereby.  In such event, the
undersigned understands that any Letter of Transmittal for Units not accepted
for payment will be destroyed by the Purchaser.  Except as stated in Section 4
("Withdrawal Rights") of the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable,
provided Units tendered pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time
prior to the Expiration Date.

                              SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9
                              (See Instruction 3)

 The person signing this Letter of Transmittal hereby certifies the following
 to the Purchaser under penalties of perjury:

 (i)  The Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN") furnished in the space
 provided for that purpose in the Signature Box of this Letter of Transmittal
 is the correct TIN of the Unitholder, unless the Units are held in an
 Individual Retirement Account ("IRA"); or if this box [ ] is checked, the
 Unitholder has applied for a TIN.  If the Unitholder has applied for a TIN, a
 TIN has not been issued to the Unitholder, and either (a) the Unitholder has
 mailed or delivered an application to receive a TIN to the appropriate
 Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Center or Social Security Administration
 Office, or (b) the Unitholder intends to mail or deliver an application in the
 near future, it is hereby understood that if the Unitholder does not provide a
 TIN to the Purchaser within sixty (60) days, 31% of all reportable payments
 made to the Unitholder thereafter will be withheld until a TIN is provided to
 the Purchaser; and

 (ii)  Unless this box [ ] is checked, the Unitholder is not subject to backup
 withholding either because the Unitholder (a) is exempt from backup
 withholding, (b) has not been notified by the IRS that the Unitholder is
 subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest
 or dividends, or (c) has been notified by the IRS that such Unitholder is no
 longer subject to backup withholding.

 Note:  Place an "X" in the box in (ii) above, if you are unable to certify
 that the Unitholder is not subject to backup withholding.

                                FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT
                              (See Instruction 3)

 Under Section 1445(c)(5) of the Code and Treas. Reg. 1.1445-IIT(d), a
 transferee must withhold tax equal to 10% of the amount realized with respect
 to certain transfers of an interest in a partnership if 50% or more of the
 value of its gross assets consists of U.S. real property interests and 90% or
 more of the value of its gross assets consists of U.S. real property interests
 plus cash or cash equivalents, and the holder of the partnership interest is a
 foreign person.  To inform the Purchaser that no withholding is required with
 respect to the Unitholder's interest in the Partnership, the person signing
 this Letter of Transmittal hereby certifies the following under penalties of
 perjury:

 (i)  Unless this box [ ] is checked, the Unitholder, if an individual, is a
 U.S. citizen or a resident alien for purposes of U.S. income taxation, and if
 other than an individual, is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership,
 foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and
 Income Tax Regulations);

 (ii)  the Unitholder's U.S. social security number (for individuals) or
 employer identification number (for non- individuals) is correct as furnished
 in the blank provided for that purpose on the back of this Letter of
 Transmittal; and

 (iii)  the Unitholder's home address (for individuals), or office address (for
 non-individuals), is correctly printed (or corrected) on the back of this
 Letter of Transmittal.  If a corporation, the jurisdiction of incorporation is
 _________________________.

 The person signing this Letter of Transmittal understands that this
 certification may be disclosed to the IRS by the Purchaser and that any false
 statements contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

                              (See Instruction 3)

 By checking this box [ ], the person signing this Letter of Transmittal hereby
 certifies under penalties of perjury that the Unitholder is an "exempt foreign
 person" for purposes of the backup withholding rules under U.S. federal income
 tax laws, because the Unitholder:

 (i)    Is a nonresident alien or a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or
 trust;

 (ii)   If an individual, has not been and plans not to be present in the U.S.
 for a total of 183 days or more during the calendar year; and

 (iii)  Neither engages, nor plans to engage, in a U.S. trade or business that
 has effectively connected gains from transactions with a broker or barter 
 exchange.

this Letter of Transmittal in the Signature Box and return it in the

         satisfactory to the Purchaser with this Letter of Transmittal.  With

4.    U.S. PERSONS.  A Unitholder who or which is a United States citizen OR a
      resident alien individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic
      partnership, a domestic trust or a domestic estate (collectively, "United
      States Persons") as those terms are defined in the Code and Income Tax
      Regulations, should follow the instructions below with respect to
      certifying Boxes A and B (on the reverse side of the Letter of
      Transmittal).

      TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.  To avoid 31% federal income tax backup
      withholding, the Unitholder must furnish his, her or its TIN in the blank
      provided for that purpose in the Signature Box on the back of the Letter
      of Transmittal and certify under penalties of perjury Box A, B and, if
      applicable, Box C.  In the case of an individual person, such person's
      social security number is his or her TIN.

      WHEN DETERMINING THE TIN TO BE FURNISHED, PLEASE REFER TO THE FOLLOWING 
      NOTE AS A GUIDELINE:

               NOTE:  INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS should reflect their own TIN.  JOINT
               ACCOUNTS should reflect the TIN of the person whose name appears
               first.  TRUST ACCOUNTS should reflect the TIN assigned to the
               Trust.  IRA CUSTODIAL ACCOUNTS should reflect the TIN of the
               custodian.  CUSTODIAL ACCOUNTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF MINORS should
               reflect the TIN of the minor.  CORPORATIONS OR OTHER BUSINESS
               ENTITIES should reflect the TIN assigned to that entity.  If you
               need additional information, please see the enclosed copy of the
               Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number
               on Substitute Form W-9.

      SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 - BOX A.

      (i)  In order to avoid 31% federal income tax backup withholding, the
           Unitholder must provide to the Purchaser in the blank provided for
           that purpose in the Signature Box on the back of the Letter of
           Transmittal the Unitholder's correct TIN and certify, under
           penalties of perjury, that such Unitholder is not subject to such
           backup withholding.  The TIN being provided on the Substitute Form
           W-9 is that of the registered Unitholder as indicated in the
           Signature Box on the back of the Letter of Transmittal.  If a
           correct TIN is not provided, penalties may be imposed by the IRS, in
           addition to the Unitholder being subject to backup withholding.
           Certain Unitholders (including, among others, all corporations) are
           not subject to backup withholding.  Backup withholding is not an
           additional tax.  If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes,
           a refund may be obtained from the IRS.

      (ii) DO NOT CHECK THE BOX IN BOX A, PART (ii), UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN
           NOTIFIED BY THE IRS THAT YOU ARE SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING.

      FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT - BOX B.  To avoid withholding of tax pursuant to
      Section 1445 of the Code, each Unitholder who or which is a United States
      Person (as defined in Instruction 3 above) must certify, under penalties
      of perjury, the Unitholder's TIN and address, and that the Unitholder is
      not a foreign person.  Tax withheld under Section 1445 of the Internal
      Revenue Code is not an additional tax.  If withholding results in an
      overpayment of tax, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.  CHECK THE BOX
      IN BOX B, PART (ii) ONLY IF YOU ARE NOT A U.S. PERSON, AS DESCRIBED
      THEREIN.

5.    FOREIGN PERSONS - BOX C.  In order for a Unitholder who is a foreign
      person (i.e., not a United States Person as defined in Instruction 3
      above) to qualify as exempt from 31% backup withholding, such foreign
      Unitholder must certify, under penalties of perjury, the statement in Box
      C of this Letter of Transmittal attesting to that foreign person's status
      by checking the box in such statement.  UNLESS SUCH BOX IS CHECKED, SUCH
      FOREIGN PERSON WILL BE SUBJECT TO 31% WITHHOLDING OF TAX UNDER SECTION
      1445 OF THE CODE.

6.    CONDITIONAL TENDERS.  No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders
      will be accepted.

7.    VALIDITY OF LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.  All questions as to the validity,
      form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of a Letter
      of Transmittal will be determined by the Purchaser and such determination
      will be final and binding.  The Purchaser's interpretation of the terms
      and conditions of the Offer (including these instructions for the Letter
      of Transmittal) also will be final and binding.  The Purchaser will have
      the right to waive any irregularities or conditions as to the manner of
      tendering.  Any irregularities in connection with tenders must be cured
      within such time as the Purchaser shall determine unless waived by it.

      The Letter of Transmittal will not be valid unless and until any
      irregularities have been cured or waived.  Neither the Purchaser nor the
      Information Agent/Depositary is under any duty to give notification of
      defects in a Letter of Transmittal and will incur no liability for
      failure to give such notification.

8.    ASSIGNEE STATUS.  Assignees must provide documentation to the Information
      Agent/Depositary which demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the
      Purchaser, such person's status as an assignee.

9.    INADEQUATE SPACE.  If the space provided herein is inadequate, the
      numbers of Units and any other information should be listed on a separate
      schedule attached hereto and separately signed on each page thereof in

                           AMERICAN HOLDINGS I, L.P.
         PURCHASE OF UNITS OF INVESTOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST OF
                      KRUPP REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP--V



TENDER OFFER

Krescent Partners L.L.C. has commenced an offer (the "Offer") to purchase up to
8,380  units of investor limited partnership interest (the "Units") of Krupp
Realty Limited Partnership--V (the "Partnership") at a purchase price of $375
per Unit, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November
21, 1996 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the
"Letter of Transmittal").  The purchase price will be reduced by the aggregate
amount of distributions per Unit, if any, made or declared by the Partnership
after November 21, 1996 and prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on
January 8, 1997 or such later date to which the Offer may be extended (the
"Expiration Date").  In addition, if a distribution is made or declared after
the Expiration Date but prior to the date on which the Purchaser pays the
Purchase Price for the tendered Units, the Purchaser will offset the amount of
such distribution from the amount otherwise due a holder of Units pursuant to
the Offer.  Krescent filed a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 (the
"Schedule 14D-1") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") with respect to the Offer on November 21, 1996.


PURCHASE OF UNITS

Krescent will sell to American Holdings I, L.P. ("AHI"), an affiliate of
American Real Estate Holdings Limited Partnership, and AHI will purchase from
Krescent, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, 41.8%
of the Units purchased pursuant to the Offer for a purchase price equal to the
price paid by Krescent to Unitholders in respect of such Units (after giving
effect to all deductions and offsets for distributions referred to above),
without interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the direct and indirect
percentage interest of Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund II, L.P. and its
affiliates (collectively, the "Apollo Group") in Krescent immediately following
the expiration and/or exercise of all outstanding options or other rights to
acquire an interest in Krescent, whether directly or indirectly,  exceeds
83.6%, then AHI will be entitled to purchase additional Units from Krescent, at
the same purchase price per Unit, so that, after giving effect to such
purchase, the total percentage of Units purchased by AHI from Krescent equals
50% of such percentage interest of the Apollo Group in Krescent (all such Units
purchased by AHI being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "AHI
Units").  The closing of the initial purchase and sale (the "Closing")
<PAGE>   5
will occur not more than 2 business days following the purchase of the AHI
Units by Krescent pursuant to the Offer, and before Krescent has submitted such
Units for transfer to the Partnership.  At such Closing, (1) Krescent will
deliver the AHI Units to AHI, together with all necessary documentation to
transfer to AHI all of Krescent's right, title and interest in and to such
Units, such transfer to be free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances
created by Krescent, (2) AHI will pay the purchase price for such AHI Units by
wire transfer into an account designated by Krescent (3) the parties will make
appropriate payments so that Total Expenses (as hereinafter defined) are shared
in the manner described below and (4) Krescent will assign to AHI its rights
under all letters of transmittal (including related proxies and powers-of-
attorney) relating to the AHI Units.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the parties acknowledge and
agree that, in the event the transfer of AHI Units from Krescent to AHI, as
contemplated above, would be restricted or delayed by the Partnership as a
result of concerns that such transfer would cause the Partnership to be treated
as a "publicly traded partnership," Krescent will, if AHI so requests, assign
to AHI its right to purchase 41.8% of the Units tendered pursuant to the Offer,
together with its rights under all letters of transmittal (including related
proxies and powers-of-attorney) relating to the AHI Units, and AHI will,
thereupon, purchase such Units directly from tendering Unitholders.  In such
event, AHI will pay the purchase price for such Units by wire transfer to
Herman Group (as hereinafter defined), simultaneously with the payment by
Krescent of the purchase price for the Units it purchases.

ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES

AHI and Krescent shall share Total Expenses in the same ratio as the number of
AHI Units purchased by AHI from Krescent bears to the total number of Units
purchased pursuant to the Offer.  At the Closing and, if necessary, from time
to time thereafter, one party shall pay the other such amounts as may be
necessary so that Total Expenses are shared in such ratio.  "Total Expenses"
means all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Krescent, AHI or their
respective affiliates (including attorneys fees and expenses) with respect to:
(1) the Offer, including, without duplication, Commission filing fees, the fees
and expenses of The Herman Group, Inc., the information agent/depositary for
the Offer ("Herman Group"), printing and mailing expenses and Partnership
transfer fees, but excluding any fees payable to LFG (as hereinafter defined)
or its affiliates; (2) the AHI Offer (as hereinafter defined) and the
termination thereof; and (3) the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
letter agreement.  Total Expenses shall not include the costs of purchasing the
Units.  Each party will provide, at the execution and delivery hereof, an
estimate of its costs and expenses incurred to date and shall provide, upon
request, invoices or other appropriate evidence of the incurrence of costs and
expenses constituting Total Expenses hereunder.





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   6
AHI OFFER

On November 29, 1996, AHI commenced an offer to purchase up to 4.9% of the
Units at a purchase price of $390 per Unit (the "AHI Offer").  Prior to or
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Letter Agreement, AHI has
terminated the AHI Offer.

STANDSTILL AGREEMENT

In order to obtain a list of Unitholders, Liquidity Financial Group, L.P.
("LFG"), an affiliate of Krescent's financial advisor, Liquidity Financial
Advisors, Inc., entered into a settlement agreement and release, dated June 27,
1996, as amended as of October 8, 1996 (the "Standstill Agreement"), with the
Partnership.  Krescent assumed the obligations of LFG under the Standstill
Agreement pursuant to an assumption agreement, dated as of November 21, 1996
(the "Krescent Assumption Agreement").   The Standstill Agreement and the
Krescent Assumption Agreement have been filed as exhibits to the Schedule 14D-
1.  An affiliate of AHI entered into a Standstill Agreement with the
Partnership on November 26, 1996 (the "AHI Standstill Agreement"). The parties
will cooperate in taking all such action as may be necessary or desirable for
AHI to assume the obligations of LFG under the Standstill Agreement with
respect to the Partnership to the same extent that Krescent is bound thereby
and to amend the Standstill Agreement and the AHI Standstill Agreement to
permit the parties to engage in the transactions contemplated hereby.

The parties will also cooperate in seeking the agreement of the general partner
of the Partnership to admit AHI as a limited partner of the Partnership or
recognize AHI as a registered owner of Units to the same extent as it has
agreed to so admit or recognize Krescent pursuant to the letter Agreement filed
as Exhibit 99.(c)(5) to the Schedule 14D-1.

CONDUCT OF OFFER

From and after the date hereof, all decisions relating to the conduct of the
Offer and the acquisition and transfer of Units pursuant thereto, including
without limitation any change in the terms or waiver of any of the conditions
thereof, shall be made jointly by Krescent and AHI.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that either Krescent or AHI proposes to increase the
purchase price for Units and the other opposes such an increase, such purchase
price shall, subject to the provisions set forth below, nonetheless be
increased as proposed, and the parties shall take all necessary action to amend
the Offer accordingly.  The party proposing to increase the purchase price
shall so notify the other party in writing.  Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the second business day following receipt of such notice, the
party receiving the notice shall notify the proposing party whether it agrees
to or opposes such increase.  If AHI so notifies Krescent of its opposition to
an increase in the purchase price proposed by Krescent, AHI shall have no
further obligation to purchase the AHI Units hereunder, and Krescent shall
thereafter control all decisions regarding the conduct of the Offer and the
acquisition and transfer of Units pursuant thereto.  If Krescent so notifies





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   7
AHI of its opposition to an increase in the purchase price proposed by AHI,
Krescent shall assign to AHI, and AHI shall assume, Krescent's right and
obligation, subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, to purchase Units
tendered pursuant to the Offer (together with its rights under letters of
transmittal, including proxies and powers-of-attorney, relating to the
purchased Units).  From and after the effectiveness of any such assignment and
assumption, AHI shall control all decisions regarding the conduct of the Offer
and the acquisition and transfer of Units pursuant thereto.  In either such
event, the parties shall execute and deliver such instruments and documents and
cooperate in taking any other action as may be necessary or desirable to amend
or supplement the Schedule 14D-1 and the Offer to Purchase in accordance with
the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder. If a party opposes a proposed purchase price increase, AHI shall be
responsible for 41.8%, and Krescent shall be responsible for 58.2%, of Total
Expenses incurred through the date on which the opposing party notifies the
proposing party of its opposition, and the proposing party shall be responsible
for 100% of Total Expenses incurred subsequent to such date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the proposing party shall at any time lower
the purchase price for Units or shall breach its obligation to acquire Units
pursuant to the Offer (assuming all conditions thereto have been satisfied or
waived), the opposing party shall have the right (exercisable in its sole
discretion) to purchase Units upon the terms and conditions set forth herein,
and, if the opposing party exercises such right,  the parties shall share Total
Expenses as provided under "Allocation of Expenses" above.

COOPERATION

AHI and Krescent shall cooperate and provide each other with such information
as may be necessary or desirable to include AHI as a co-bidder in the Offer and
to disclose the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the
applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder.  Neither party shall use the name of the other in
any public disclosure regarding the transactions contemplated hereby without
obtaining the prior written consent of such other party, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

AHI and Krescent shall also cooperate in connection with the transfer of Units
to AHI and Krescent, respectively, and, to the extent with Krescent's
reasonable control,  in ensuring that AHI is accorded the benefits of ownership
of the AHI Units from and after the date of the Closing, notwithstanding any
delays in the recognition or effectiveness of the transfer of such Units to AHI
on the books of the Partnership.  Krescent shall execute and deliver such
further instruments and documents as may be necessary or desirable in
connection with the foregoing.

Krescent shall instruct Herman Group to provide AHI, upon request, with
information regarding the Offer and tenders made pursuant thereto and to
provide AHI with reports regarding such status and tenders as such reports are
made to Krescent.

INDEMNIFICATION

Krescent and its members, jointly and severally, shall indemnify AHI and hold
it harmless against any loss, claim, damage or liability (or any action in
respect thereof) to which AHI may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any violation of the
Williams Act or any untrue statement of a material fact included in the
Schedule 14D-1 as heretofore amended or the omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading.

Krescent and its members, jointly and severally, on the one hand, and AHI and
its partners, jointly and severally, on the other, shall indemnify and hold
harmless the other against any loss, claim, damage or liability (or any action
in respect thereof) to which any of them may become subject, insofar as such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any violation
of the Williams Act or any untrue statement of a material fact included in the
Schedule 14D-1 as hereafter amended or the omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, but only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
action is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished by Krescent or its affiliates, on the one hand, or AHI or
its affiliates, on the other, for inclusion in such Schedule 14D-1.

AHI and its partners, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless
Krescent against any loss, claim, damage or liability (or any action in respect
thereof) to which Krescent may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any violation of the
Williams Act or any untrue statement of a material fact included in the tender
offer materials of AHI relating to the AHI Offer or the omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading.

BUY/SELL

Either AHI or Krescent may institute buy/sell procedures at any time commencing
on the first anniversary of the purchase of the AHI Units by Krescent, as long
as both parties (together with their respective affiliates and members of their
immediate families) continue to own at least 2% of the issued and outstanding
Units.  These buy/sell provisions shall cover all Units owned by AHI and by its
affiliates and members of their immediate families and all Units owned by
Krescent and by its affiliates and members of their immediate families, in each
case, whether such Units were acquired prior to the Offer, pursuant to the
Offer or subsequent to the Offer.  For purposes of these buy/sell provisions
LFG shall not be deemed an affiliate of Krescent.  Accordingly, these buy/sell
provisions shall not cover (1) that percentage of the Krescent Units equal to
the percentage interest in Krescent, if any, whether direct or indirect, of
LFG, its affiliates and members of their immediate families or (2) any Units
owned directly by any of them.  These buy/sell provisions shall not apply to
the extent that any buy/sell transaction would impose any liability under
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.





                                      -5-
<PAGE>   9
Either party may initiate the buy/sell by delivering to the other a written
offer stating the purchase price on a per Unit basis and other material terms
and conditions on which the initiating party is willing to purchase all, but
not less than all, Units then owned by the non-initiating party.

The non-initiating party shall then be obligated to elect to sell Units to the
initiating party at the per Unit price and upon the other terms and conditions
set forth in the buy/sell offer, or to purchase all of the initiating party's
Units upon such terms and conditions.  The non-initiating party shall have
thirty days to decide whether to buy or sell.  Failure to notify the initiating
party of such decision on a timely basis shall be deemed a decision to sell.

The closing of any purchase and sale of Units pursuant to these buy-sell
provisions shall occur no later than 15 days following the delivery of the
notice of election set forth above or such earlier date as shall be specified
in writing by the purchasing party.  At any such closing, the selling party
shall sell, transfer and assign to the purchasing party all right, title and
interest in and to the selling party's Units, free and clear of all liens,
claims and encumbrances; the purchasing party shall pay for such Units in cash
or immediately available Federal funds; and, at the request of the purchasing
party, the selling party shall execute all other documents and take such other
actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effectuate the transfer
of the Units and to carry out the purposes of this letter agreement.

PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL UNITS

Prior to the Standstill Expiration Date, the parties subject to the Standstill
Agreement (whether directly or by assumption of the obligations of LFG
thereunder) (such parties being collectively referred to as the "Standstill
Parties") are permitted to purchase up to 25% of the issued and outstanding
Units.  In the event that less than such amount is tendered pursuant to the
Offer (and/or already owned by the Standstill Parties on the Expiration Date),
then, prior to the Standstill Expiration Date, AHI and its affiliates will be
entitled to purchase up to 41.8% (or, if AHI purchases additional AHI Units
from Krescent under the circumstances described under "Purchase of Units"
above, then the total percentage of the tendered Units purchased by AHI) of any
Remaining Units (as hereinafter defined) and the other Standstill Parties and
