                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

      General. Murray Income Properties I, Ltd. (the "Partnership") was formed
March 12, 1984 under the Texas Uniform Limited Partnership Act to acquire
recently constructed income-producing shopping centers located in growth
markets. As of November, 1989, the Partnership became governed by the Texas
Revised Limited Partnership Act. The General Partners of the Partnership are
Murray Realty Investors VIII, Inc., a Texas corporation, and Crozier Partners
VIII, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership.

      The Partnership acquired its first shopping center, Mountain View Plaza
("Mountain View"), in 1985, and its second shopping center, Castle Oaks Village
("Castle Oaks"), in 1986. The Partnership also in 1986 acquired an 85% interest
in Tower Place Joint Venture, which owns Tower Place Festival Shopping Center
("Tower Place"). The remaining 15% interest in the joint venture is owned by
Murray Income Properties II, Ltd., a publicly- registered real estate limited
partnership, the general partners of which are affiliates of the General
Partners. All acquisitions were paid for in cash. For a more detailed
description of the joint venture interest and the properties acquired by the
Partnership, see "Item 2. Properties".

      The Partnership is in competition for tenants for its properties with
other real estate limited partnerships as well as with individuals,
corporations, real estate investment trusts, pension funds and other entities
engaged in the ownership and operation of retail real estate. When evaluating a
particular location to lease, a tenant may consider many factors, including,
but not limited to, space availability, rental rates, lease terms, access,
parking, quality of construction and quality of management. While the General
Partners believe that the Partnership's properties are generally competitive
with other properties with regard to these factors, there can be no assurance
that, in the view of a prospective tenant, other retail properties will not be
more attractive.

      Mountain View Plaza Shopping Center. At December 31, 1997, Mountain View
was 100% leased. One tenant, Wild Oats Markets, Inc., leases approximately
33.3% of the total rentable space of the property. The Wild Oats lease expires
on August 31, 2005 and the tenant has an option to renew for two successive
five year periods. Childtime Childcare leases 10.3% of the total rentable
space. The Childtime Childcare lease expires January 31, 2000. This tenant has
no further options to renew its lease. At December 31, 1996, Mountain View was
100% leased.

      Mountain View is subject to competition from similar types of properties
in the vicinity in which it is located. The following information on
competitive properties in the vicinity of Mountain View has been obtained from
sources believed reliable by the Partnership. The accuracy of this information
was not independently verified by the Partnership.

                                    PART II

ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND 
           RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.

      A public market for Interests does not exist and is not likely to
develop. Consequently, a Limited Partner may not be able to liquidate its
investment in the event of emergency or for any other reason, and Interests may
not be readily accepted as collateral for a loan. Further, the transfer of
Interests is subject to certain limitations. For a description of such

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
$1,620,246. Such amounts represent cash generated from operations and working
capital reserves.

      An increase in investment properties, buildings and improvements of
$50,624 from December 31, 1996 to December 31, 1997 is primarily due to the
replacement of a roof on one of the buildings at Mountain View, the
installation of additional parking lot lighting at Tower Place and tenant
improvements at all of the Partnership's properties.

      Rental income from leases with escalating rental rates is accrued using
the straight line method over the related lease terms. At December 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, there were $492,448 and $506,148, respectively, of accounts
receivable related to such accruals. Accounts receivable also consist of tenant
receivables, receivables for rent collected (but not yet remitted to the
Partnership by the property management companies), and interest receivable on
short-term investments. A decrease from December 31, 1996 to December 31, 1997
in accounts receivable (before bad debts) of $15,968 is primarily due to a
decrease in receivables for rent collected (but not yet remitted to the
Partnership by the property management companies) at Tower Place and Mountain
View and receivables related to the accruals described above at Tower Place. As
of December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Partnership had allowances of
$5,655 and $7,283, respectively, for uncollectible accounts receivable.

      During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Partnership made Cash
Distributions from Operations totaling $1,674,183. Subsequent to December 31,
1997 the Partnership made a Cash Distribution from Operations of $432,046
relating to the three months ended December 31, 1997. The distributed funds
were derived from the net cash flow generated from operations of the
Partnership's properties and from interest earned, net of administrative
expenses, on funds invested in short-term money market instruments.

      Future liquidity is currently expected to result from cash generated from
the operations of the Partnership's properties (which could be affected
negatively in the event of weakened occupancies, and/or rental rates), interest
earned on funds invested in short-term money market instruments and ultimately
through the sale of the Partnership's properties.

      Market conditions continued to strengthen in the markets in which the
Partnership owns property, as evidenced by the improved performance of all
three shopping centers in 1997 as compared to 1996. Average occupancy, average
lease rates, and rental income were higher at all three properties in 1997 than
in the previous year. The Charlotte retail market has remained healthy, with
occupancy rates stable in the face of supermarket driven development. This
development is expected to continue with the construction of a 65-mile loop
around the city, spurring residential development in the suburbs which in turn
provides the impetus for the development of new shopping centers. This new
development could eventually have a negative impact on rental rates and
occupancy at Tower Place. The Phoenix retail market remained strong in 1997, as
the overall occupancy rate remained at 92% for the second consecutive year. The
North Scottsdale submarket, where Mountain View is located, had an occupancy
rate of 98% at year-end 1997, the highest occupancy rate of any submarket in
the Phoenix metropolitan area. There was little change in the San Antonio
retail market in 1997. According to published reports,

                                       5

<PAGE>   8



the occupancy rate for the city as a whole was 90% at year-end 1997, unchanged
from year-end 1996. Northwest San Antonio, where Castle Oaks is located, was
also unchanged from year-end 1996, with a year-end occupancy rate of 89%.

Results of Operations

      Rental income increased $232,755 (8%) for the year ended December 31,
1997 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. Rental income increased
$205,514 (7%) for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 1995. The following information details the rental income
generated, bad debt expense incurred, and average occupancy for the years ended
December 31, 1997, December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, for
each of the Partnership's properties:

     Rental income at Mountain View increased $115,309 (13%) for the year ended
December 31, 1997, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996 with higher
rent due to higher occupancy, higher rental rates and increased tenant
reimbursements for common area maintenance costs and real estate taxes being
offset by decreases in tenant reimbursements for insurance costs. Rental income
at Mountain View increased $37,104 (4%) for the year ended December 31, 1996,
as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 primarily due to higher rent
due to higher rental rates and increased tenant reimbursements for common area
maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance costs.

     Mountain View averaged 100% occupancy during 1997, a five percent increase
over the previous year. During the year, two tenants who occupy 2,080 square
feet renewed their leases for five years. One tenant who occupies 880 square
feet renewed its lease for three years. One tenant who occupied 880 square feet
vacated its space prior to the expiration of its lease but continued to pay
rent under the terms of its lease. Reay's Ranch Markets, the specialty grocery
store who occupied 19,359 square feet, was acquired by Wild Oats Markets, a
larger chain which operates approximately 45 stores. In November, Wild Oats
closed the location at Mountain View due to lower than anticipated sales. Wild
Oats does intend to continue paying rent. As of December 31, 1997, Mountain
View was 100% leased.

     Rental income at Castle Oaks increased $80,813 (24%) for the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996 primarily due
to an increase in occupancy, an increase in rental rates and higher tenant
reimbursements for common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and
insurance costs. Rental income at Castle Oaks increased $50,235 (18%) for the
year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995
primarily due to an increase in occupancy and rental rates and higher tenant
reimbursements for common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and
insurance costs.

                                       6

<PAGE>   9




     Castle Oaks averaged 90% occupancy during the year, a 15% increase over
the previous year. One tenant who occupied 1,830 square feet vacated its space
upon expiration of its lease. This space was subsequently leased to a new
tenant. One new lease for 1,245 square feet was executed and this tenant took
occupancy in December. One tenant who occupied 932 square feet vacated its
space upon expiration of its lease and one tenant who occupies 1,500 square
feet renewed its lease for five years. As of December 31, 1997, Castle Oaks was
92% leased.

     Rental income at Tower Place increased $36,633 (2%) for the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996 primarily due
to an increase in occupancy, an increase in rental rates and an increase in
tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance costs, offset by a decrease
in percentage rent received. Rental income at Tower Place increased $118,175
(7%) for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 1995 primarily due to an increase in rental rates along with an
increase in percentage rent received from J&K Cafeterias and an increase in
tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance costs, offset by lower tenant
reimbursements for real estate taxes and insurance costs.

     Tower Place averaged 98% occupancy for the year ended December 31, 1997, a
one percent increase over the previous year. Two tenants who occupied 3,360
square feet vacated their space upon expiration of their leases. Both of these
spaces were subsequently leased to new tenants who took occupancy during 1997.
Four tenants totalling 5,864 square feet vacated their spaces prior to the
expiration of their leases. One of these tenants, who had occupied 1,600 square
feet, continued to pay rent under the lease. This space was subsequently
subleased to a new tenant and this lease expires on April 30, 1998. The other
three spaces which were vacated have all been re-leased with two of the new
tenants taking occupancy in 1997 and one during the first quarter of 1998. Two
tenants who occupy 3,000 square feet renewed their leases for five years and
three tenants who occupy 5,180 square feet renewed their leases for three
years. As of December 31, 1997, Tower Place was 98% occupied.

     Interest income of the Partnership increased $12,412 (16%) for the year
ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996
primarily due to larger balances of invested funds. Interest income of the
Partnership was relatively unchanged for the year ended December 31, 1996 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1995.

     Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets using the straight line method. The estimated useful lives of the
buildings and improvements range from three to twenty-five years.

     Property operating expenses consist primarily of real estate taxes,
property management fees, insurance costs, utility costs, repair and
maintenance costs, leasing and promotion costs, and amortization of deferred
leasing costs. Property operating expenses decreased $7,399 (1%) for the year
ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the previous year primarily due to lower
repair and maintenance costs at Mountain View. Mountain View's total operating
expenses decreased with decreases in parking lot and roof maintenance being
offset by increases in property management fees, security costs, and real
estate taxes. Castle Oaks' total operating expenses increased slightly with
increases in landscaping costs and property management fees being offset by
decreases in legal fees and insurance costs. Tower Place's total operating
expenses increased with increases in parking lot maintenance costs, leasing and
promotion costs and property management fees being offset by decreases in
utilities and landscaping costs.

     Property operating expenses increased $44,106 (6%) for the year ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to the previous year primarily due to higher
repair and maintenance costs and landscaping costs at Tower Place and Mountain
View. Mountain View's total operating costs increased because of increases in
parking lot and roof maintenance and security services. Castle Oaks' total
operating expenses decreased primarily because of lower landscaping costs and
legal fees. Tower Place's total operating expenses increased with increases in
repair and maintenance costs, property management

                                       7

fees, and landscaping costs offset by decreases in leasing and promotion costs,
insurance and real estate taxes.

     General and administrative expenses incurred are related to legal and
accounting expenses, rent, investor services costs, salaries and benefits and
various other costs required for the administration of the Partnership,
including reimbursements of shared direct operating costs to Murray Income
Properties II, Ltd. General and administrative expenses increased $22,081 (7%)
for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the year ended December 31,
1996, primarily due to increases in rent, telephone, salaries and benefits,
seminars and education costs, and legal and accounting fees.

     General and administrative expenses increased $46,522 (17%) for the year
ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. The
Partnership became subject to electronic filing requirements with the
Securities and Exchange Commission during the year ended December 31, 1995.
Costs associated with filing the 1995 Form 10-K and the quarterly Form 10-Q's
for 1996 caused the Partnership's compliance costs to increase. Also, legal
costs increased because of due diligence performed and negotiations with
limited partners who wanted to acquire the Partnership's investor list in order
to solicit the partners to purchase their interests. The Partnership also
incurred additional printing and postage costs to respond to all limited
partners regarding these solicitations.

     Bad debt expenses decreased $7,066 for the year ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to the same period in 1996 with bad debts at Tower Place being offset
by recoveries at Castle Oaks. Bad debt expenses remained flat for the year
ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 with bad debts
at Castle Oaks being offset by recoveries at Mountain View and Tower Place. The
reduction is primarily due to intensive efforts by Partnership management and
the property managers to recognize and resolve potential tenant problems as
rapidly as possible, thereby reducing the buildup in outstanding rent
receivables.

     The effect of inflation on results of operations for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995 was not significant.

     Over the past several years the real estate markets have gotten stronger
and the properties' performance has improved. This improvement has resulted in
an increase in the number of potential buyers as well as the number of parties
interested in purchasing limited partnership units on the secondary market.
Some of these groups have solicited the Partnership's limited partners directly
with offers to buy their units. Barring any unforseen circumstances, the
General Partners believe that the markets will continue to improve. Also,
management will continue to pursue a strategy of carefully selecting tenants,
achieving the highest rents possible, and maintaining the properties in first
class condition. This strategy should result in the properties being well
positioned when the decision to sell is made. Management is constantly
analyzing market conditions, comparable sales, and economic trends in order to
evaluate their impact on the value of the Partnership's properties, and intends
to sell the portfolio at the time when such a sale will maximize the
properties' values and otherwise be in the best interest of the Limited
Partners.

The Partners
Murray Income Properties I, Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Murray Income

December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
earnings, changes in partners' equity and cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1997. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Murray Income
Properties I, Ltd. and consolidated joint venture as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the

                            (A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
                         AND CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

   The Partnership was formed March 12, 1984 by filing a Certificate and
Agreement of Limited Partnership with the Secretary of State of the State of
Texas. The Partnership Agreement authorized the issuance of up to 30,000
limited partnership interests at a price of $1,000 each, of which 28,227
limited partnership interests were issued. Proceeds from the sale of limited
partnership interests, net of related selling commissions, dealer-manager fees
and other offering costs, are recorded as contributed capital.

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and Tower Place Joint Venture (85% owned by the Partnership). All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Rental income is recognized as earned under the leases. Accordingly, the
Partnership accrues rental income for the full period of occupancy using the
straight line method over the related terms. At December 31, 1997 and 1996,
there were $492,448 and $506,148, respectively, of accounts receivable related
to such accruals.

   Other assets consist primarily of deferred leasing costs which are amortized
using the straight line method over the lives of the related leases.

   Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets using the straight line method. The estimated useful lives of the
buildings and improvements range from three to twenty-five years.

   The Partnership periodically reevaluates the propriety of the carrying
amounts of investment properties to determine whether current events and
circumstances warrant an adjustment to such carrying amounts. Such evaluations
are performed utilizing annual appraisals performed by independent appraisers
as well as internally developed estimates of expected undiscounted future cash
flows. In the event the carrying value of an individual property exceeds
expected future undiscounted cash flows, the property is written down to the
most recently appraised value. Since inception of the Partnership, none of the
Partnership's properties have required write downs.

   No provision for income taxes has been made as the liabilities for such
taxes are those of the individual Partners rather than the Partnership. The
Partnership files its tax return on the accrual basis used for Federal income
tax purposes.

   Earnings and cash distributions per limited partnership interest are based
upon the limited partnership interests outstanding at year-end and the net
earnings and cash distributions allocated to the Limited Partners in accordance
with the Partnership Agreement.


                                                                    (Continued)

                         AND CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


   For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Partnership considers all
certificates of deposit and highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

   The following information relates to estimated fair values of the
Partnership's financial instruments as of December 31, 1997 and 1996. For cash
and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued
property taxes payable, and security deposits, the carrying amounts approximate
fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

2. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

   Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, net profits or losses of
the Partnership and cash distributions are generally allocated 98% to the
Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners. Cash Distributions from the
sale or refinancing of a property are allocated as follows:

   (a) First, all Cash Distributions from Sales or Refinancings shall be
       allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the Non-corporate
       General Partner until the Limited Partners have been returned their
       original invested Capital from Cash Distributions from Sales or
       Refinancings, plus their Preferred Return from Cash Distributions from
       Operations or Cash Distributions from Sales or Refinancings, or both.

   (b) Next, all Cash Distributions from Sales or Refinancings shall be
       allocated 1% to the Non-corporate General Partner and 99% to the Limited
       Partners and the General Partners. Such 99% will be allocated (i) first
       to the Corporate General Partner in an amount equal to any unpaid Cash
       Distributions from Operations subordinated to the Limited Partners' 7%
       non-cumulative annual return and (ii) thereafter, 80% to the Limited
       Partners and 20% to the General Partners.

       Cash Distributions from Sales or Refinancings (other than the 1% of Cash
       Distributions from Sales or Refinancings payable to the Non-corporate
       General Partner) payable to the General Partners shall be allocated 62
       1/2% to the Non-corporate General Partner and 37 1/2% to the Corporate
       General Partner.

3.  INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

   The Partnership owns and operates Mountain View Plaza, a shopping center
located in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Castle Oaks Village, a shopping center
located in Castle Hills (San Antonio), Texas. In addition, the Partnership owns
an 85% interest in Tower Place Joint Venture, a joint venture which owns Tower
Place Festival Shopping Center located in Pineville (Charlotte), North
Carolina. The remaining interest in the joint venture is owned by Murray Income
Properties II, Ltd. ("MIP II"), an affiliated real estate limited partnership.
The Tower Place Joint Venture Agreement provides that the Partnership will
share profits, losses, and cash distributions according to the Partnership's
85% ownership interest in the joint venture.


                                                                    (Continued)

Partner. (1) The Partnership provides the named executive officers with certain
group life, health, medical and other non-cash benefits generally available to
all salaried employees. The amounts shown in this column include the following:

      a)   Contributions by the Partnership under its SEP-IRA plan which
           equaled 3% of each employee's covered compensation (salary and term
           insurance value). Prior to 1997, contributions were made only on
           behalf of the Partnership's non-management employees. Commencing in
           1997, contributions were made on behalf of every employee of the

      The Partnership and Murray Income Properties II, Ltd. entered into
severance agreements with Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Buck effective September 16,
1996. Pursuant to these agreements, upon the occurrence of specified events,
the Partnership will be obligated for forty seven (47%) of any benefits paid
pursuant to the agreements to either Mr. Armstrong or Mr. Buck. The agreement
with Mr. Armstrong provides for a benefit amount equal to the value of the
aggregate of one month of his highest monthly salary paid at any time during
the twelve months prior to his termination multiplied by fifteen (15), plus the
current monthly cost of such health, disability and life benefits (including
spousal or similar coverage and coverage for children) which he was receiving
or entitled to receive immediately prior to termination multiplied by eighteen
(18). The agreement with Mr. Buck provides for a benefit amount equal to the
value of the aggregate of one month of his highest monthly salary paid at any
time during the twelve months prior to his termination multiplied by twelve
(12), plus the current monthly cost of such health, disability and life
benefits (including spousal or similar coverage and coverage for children)

Under date of February 27, 1998, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets
of Murray Income Properties I, Ltd. (a limited partnership) and consolidated
joint venture as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of earnings, changes in partners' equity, and cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997, as contained in
Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K. In connection with our audits of the
aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we also audited the related
consolidated financial statement schedules as listed in Item 14(a)2 of this
annual report on Form 10-K. These financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statement schedules based on our audits.

In our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation
to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

                 (b)      The percentage rent credit in the amount of Ten
Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) granted by Lessor to Seller in

         2.      Assignment of Lease.  As of the Effective Date, Seller hereby

interest in and to the Lease.

         3.      Assumption of Lease.  As of the Effective Date, Buyer
unconditionally assumes and agrees to perform all of the terms, conditions and
obligations of Seller under the Lease.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of

Agreement, Lessor hereby acknowledges and consents to the assignment of
Seller's interest as lessee in the Lease to Buyer and acknowledges Lessor's
continued obligation of performance to Buyer as Lessee in accordance with the
terms of the Lease.  Subject to governmental approval and Paragraph 9 of the
Lease, Lessor consents to changing the name of the Store from "Reay's Ranch
Market" to "Wild Oats Community Market", "Wild Oats Market", or any other trade
name presently used by Buyer in the operation of retail grocery chains,
provided such trade name is utilized in a majority of Buyer's stores in the
Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area.

        In the event that the General Partners decide to honor a request, they
will notify the requesting Limited Partner in writing of such fact and will
forward to such Limited Partner the documents necessary to effect such
repurchase within 60 days following the receipt of the request by the General
Partners. The purchase price will be equal to 90% of the estimated fair value
of the Interests to be repurchased, as determined by the General Partners by
using such methods of valuation as they deem appropriate. The General Partners
may consider, among other criteria, the current market value of the
Partnership's properties and other assets, less all outstanding Partnership
debts and obligations. The General Partners will, as soon as possible following
return of such documents from the Limited Partner, repurchase the Interests of
the Limited Partner, provided that (i) sufficient amounts are then available in
the Repurchase Fund to repurchase all of such Interests and (ii) such documents
are returned by the end of the fiscal quarter in which the Limited Partner's
request was received by the General Partners ("current quarter"). In the event
that items (i) or (ii) above are not met, the General Partners may repurchase a
portion of such Interests or defer the repurchase of all such Interests. If the
General Partners determine to defer all or a portion of the repurchase of
certain Interests, the Limited Partners will be deemed to have priority over
subsequent requests for repurchases.

Special Power of Attorney

        Under the Partnership Agreement and Subscription Agreement, each
Limited Partner irrevocably appoints the General Partners his attorney-in-fact
to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, deliver, record and file any
document or instrument which may be considered necessary or desirable by the
General Partners executing the same to carry out fully the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement.

Dissolution and Liquidation

        Article XV of the Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership
shall be dissolved and its business wound up upon the earliest to occur of (a)
the date of disposition of all assets of the Partnership, (b) the date of the
removal, resignation, adjudication of bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of
a General Partner, unless the Limited Partners elect to continue the business
of the Partnership, (c) that date on which Limited Partners holding a majority
of Interests vote in favor of dissolution and termination, or (d) January 31, 
2020.

        Upon the election by the Limited Partners to continue the business of
the Partnership after an event specified in (b) above, the Partnership shall be
required to purchase the General Partner's general partnership interest
pursuant to Section 12.3 and Section 12.4 of the Partnership Agreement.

        Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership, the General
Partners have the authority to execute and record a certificate of cancellation
of the Partnership, as well as any and all other documents required to
effectuate the dissolution and termination of the Partnership.

        Subscriptions may be combined for the purpose of determining the total
commissions payable in the case of subscriptions made by any investor who,
subsequent to his initial purchase of Interests, subscribes for the purchase of
additional Interests. Any request to combine subscriptions will be subject to
verification by the General Partners that all of such subscriptions were made
by a single investor. In such an event, the commission payable with respect to
the initial purchase of Interests will be computed using the commission
schedule set forth above. The commission payable with respect to any subsequent
purchase of Interests will equal the commission that would have been payable in
accordance with the commission schedule set forth above if all purchases had
been made simultaneously, less the commissions that previously have been paid
with respect to all prior purchases of Interests by such an investor. The
difference between 8.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Interests and
the amount payable to the Dealer Manager with respect to such sale will be
reimbursed to the Limited Partner as soon as possible after his admission to
the Partnership.

paid to the Terminated General Partners by the Partnership), such interest to
be payable at the time of each installment of principal, which shall be payable
as the Terminated General Partner and the Partnership may agree, or if they
cannot so agree, then annually over a period of five years from the date of the
Terminated General Partner's retirement, resignation, removal, adjudication of
bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, insanity or death. No prepayment penalty
shall be charged to the Partnership for the early payment of its note.

        12.3    The fair market value of the Terminated General Partner's
interest to be purchased by the Partnership according to the provisions of
Section 12.2 above shall be determined by agreement between the Terminated
General Partner and the Partnership. If the Terminated General Partner and the
Partnership cannot agree upon the fair market value of such Partnership
interest within 90 days after the date of the Terminated General Partner's
retirement, resignation, removal, adjudication of bankruptcy, insolvency,
dissolution, insanity or death, then the Terminated General Partner and the
Partnership shall each select an independent appraiser within the next thirty
days. If such appraisers fail to agree on the fair market value of the
Terminated General Partner's interest within the next 90 days, then the two
appraisers shall jointly appoint a third appraiser whose determination shall be
final and binding. The Terminated General Partner and the Partnership shall
each compensate their respective appraisers, and the compensation of the third
appraiser, if necessary, shall be borne equally by each party.

        12.4    Within 90 days after the retirement, resignation, removal,
adjudication of bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, insanity or death of a
General Partner (except that a General Partner shall not voluntarily withdraw
from the Partnership without at least 90 days' prior written notice to the
other General Partner and the Limited Partners of intention to withdraw, and in
such event, within the period from the date of the notice of intention to
withdraw to the date of withdrawal specified in the notice of intention),
Limited Partners holding a majority of the Interests may elect to continue the
business of the Partnership and, if they desire to do so, may elect a successor
General Partner.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                       Transfer of a Partnership Interest

        13.1    The General Partners may, pursuant to this Article XIII, admit
as a substituted Limited Partner any successor in interest to a Limited Partner
who is either deceased or under legal disability or who is an assignee of a 
Limited Partner.

        13.2    Subject to the provisions of this Article XIII, compliance with
the suitability standards imposed by the Partnership, applicable "blue sky"
laws and the applicable rules of any other governmental authority, a Limited
Partner shall have the right to assign the whole or any portion of his
Interests (but not less than five Interests unless to an Individual Retirement
Account and then not less than two Interests) by a written assignment, the
terms of which are not in contravention of any of the provisions of this
Agreement. Any assignment in contravention of any of the provisions of this
Article XIII shall be of no force and effect and shall not be binding upon or
recognized by the Partnership.

        (a)     Except as provided in (b) below, an assignee of a Limited
        Partner's Interest who is not admitted as a substituted Limited Partner
        shall have no right to require any information or account of the
        Partnership's transactions or to inspect the Partnership's books; he
        shall only be entitled to receive Distributions from the Partnership and
        the share of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to
        the Interests acquired by reason of such assignment from the first day
        of the month following the month in which the written instrument of
        assignment, executed by the assignor and in form and substance
        reasonably satisfactory to the General Partners, and other documents
        reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by the General Partners (as,
        for example, evidence that the assignee meets investor suitability
        standards) shall have been received by the Partnership.

<PAGE>   2
        (b)     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, both the
        Partnership and the General Partners shall be entitled to (i) treat the
        assignor of such Interests as the absolute owner thereof in all
        respects, and shall incur no liability for allocations of income, gain,
        loss, deduction or credit for Distributions or for transmittal of
        reports and notices required to be given to holders of Interests, until
        the last day of the month in which the Partnership shall have received
        the written assignment executed by the assignor in form and substance
        reasonably satisfactory to the General Partners and other documents
        reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by the General Partners
        (including evidence of the assignee's compliance with standards imposed
        by applicable "blue sky" laws) or (ii) treat the assignee as a
        substitute Limited Partner in the place of his assignor, should the
        General Partners deem, in their absolute discretion, that such treatment
        is in the best interests of the Partnership for any of its purposes or
        for any of the purposes of this Agreement. 

        13.3    No assignee shall have the right to become a substituted
Limited Partner in place of his assignor unless all of the following conditions
are satisfied:

        (a)     The written consent of the General Partners to such
        substitution shall be obtained, the granting of which shall not be 
        unreasonably withheld; 

        (b)     A duly executed written instrument of assignment setting forth
        the intention of the assignor that the assignee shall become a 
        substituted Limited Partner in his place shall have been filed with 
        the Partnership;

        (c)     The Interests being acquired by the assignee shall consist of
        at least two Interests if such assignee is an Individual Retirement
        Account and at least five Interests if such assignee is not an
        Individual Retirement Account and, if the assignor shall retain any
        Interests, such retention shall consist of at least two Interests if
        such assignor is an Individual Retirement Account and at least five
        Interests if such assignor is not an Individual Retirement Account;

        (d)     The assignor and assignee shall execute and acknowledge such
        other instruments as the General Partners reasonably deem necessary or
        desirable to effect such assignment and admission, including, but not
        limited to, evidence of the assignee's compliance with standards imposed
        by any applicable "blue sky" laws, the written acceptance and adoption
        by the assignee of the provisions of this Agreement and his execution,
        acknowledgment and delivery to the General Partners of a special power
        of attorney, the form and content of which are more fully described in
        Article XXI hereof; and

        (e)     The Partnership shall have received from the assignor or
        assignee a transfer fee to cover all reasonable expenses of the 
        transfer, not to exceed $50 per transaction, but such transfer fee 
        may be waived by the General Partners, in their discretion.

        13.4    Any person admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited
Partner shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement as if an
original party to it.

        13.5    The General Partners shall amend the certificate of limited
partnership at least once each quarter to add assignees as substituted Limited
Partners. 

        13.6    Upon the death or legal disability of an individual who is a
Limited Partner, his personal representative shall have all of the rights of a
Limited Partner for the purpose of settling or managing his estate, and such
power as the decedent or incompetent possessed to constitute a successor as an
assignee of his interests in the Partnership and to join with such assignee in
making application to substitute such assignee as a Limited Partner. However,
such personal representative shall not have the right to become a substituted
Limited Partner in the place of his predecessor in interest unless the
conditions of this Article XIII (other than the requirement that the assignor
execute and acknowledge instruments) are first satisfied.

<PAGE>   3
        13.7    Upon the adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency, dissolution
or other cessation of existence as a legal entity of a Limited Partner which is
not an individual, the authorized representative of such entity shall have all 
of the rights of a Limited Partner for the purpose of effecting the orderly
winding up and disposition of the business of such entity and such power as
such entity possessed to constitute a successor as an assignee of its interest
in the Partnership and to join with such assignee in making application to
substitute such assignee as a Limited Partner. However, such representative
shall not have the right to become a substituted Limited Partner in the place of
his predecessor in interest unless the conditions of this Article XIII (other
than the requirement that the assignor execute and acknowledge instruments) are
first satisfied.

        13.8    A General Partner may not assign his or its interest as a
General Partner to anyone other than the Partnership as provided in Article XII
of this Agreement.

        13.9    No assignment of any Interests may be made if the Interests
sought to be assigned, when added to the total of all other Interests assigned
within the period of 12 consecutive months prior to the proposed date of
assignment, would, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership, result in the
termination of the Partnership under Section 708 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1954, as amended.

        13.10   Any assignment, sale, exchange or other transfer in
contravention of any of the provisions of this Article XIII shall be void and
ineffectual, and shall not bind or be recognized by the Partnership.

                                  ARTICLE XIV

                                Indemnification

        14.1    No General Partner and no officer, director, partner, Affiliate
or assign of a General Partner shall be liable to the Partnership or any
Limited Partner for any loss or damage suffered by the Partnership or any
Limited Partner which arises out of any error in judgment or other action or
inaction not constituting negligence (gross or ordinary), fraud or breach of
fiduciary duty which was taken in good faith, in accordance with the exercise
of reasonable business judgment and pursuant to a determination that such
course of conduct was in the best interest of the Partnership. The Partnership
or its receiver or trustee shall indemnify, save harmless and pay all judgments
and claims against the General Partners (and each of them) or their officers,
directors, partners, Affiliates and assigns from any liability, loss or damage
incurred by them or by the Partnership by reason of any act performed or
omitted to be performed by them in connection with the activities of the
Partnership or in dealing with third parties on behalf of the Partnership,
including costs and attorneys' fees (which attorneys' fees may be paid as
incurred) and any amounts expended in the settlement of any claims of
liability, loss or damage, provided that such action was taken in good faith,
in accordance with the exercise of reasonable business judgment and pursuant to
a determination that such course of conduct was in the best interest of the
Partnership and did not constitute fraud, negligence (gross or ordinary) or
breach of fiduciary duty by such General Partner or such officer, director,
partner, Affiliate or assign and provided further that any such indemnification
shall be recoverable only from the assets of the Partnership and not from the
assets of the holders of Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Affiliate will be indemnified or excused from liability under this Agreement in
connection with Partnership activities to the extent such Affiliate is
rendering contract services for which it receives a competitive fee. All
judgments against the Partnership and a General Partner, wherein a General
Partner is entitled to indemnification, must first be satisfied from
Partnership assets before a General Partner shall be responsible for such
obligations. The Partnership shall not pay for any insurance covering liability
of a General Partner or of officers, directors, partners, Affiliates and
assigns of a General Partner for actions or omissions for which indemnification
is not permitted hereunder; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall preclude the Partnership from purchasing and paying for such types of
insurance, including extended coverage liability and casualty and workmen's
compensation, as would be customary for any person owning comparable property
and engaged in a similar business or from naming a General Partner and any
Affiliate as additional

        expenditure made by the Partnership which the General Partners deem to
        be the fair, just and equitable share that should be borne by Murray
        Income Properties II, Ltd.

                                AMENDMENT NO. 9

        Explanation of Amendment.  Section 10.15 requires the Corporate General
Partner to allocate 25% of its share of Cash Distributions from Operations to a
"Repurchase Fund" for the purchase of Interests upon the request of a Limited
Partner. The Corporate General Partner is permitted to commingle the amount
allocated to the "Repurchase Fund" with other assets of the Corporate General
Partner. To the present time, however, the Corporate General Partner has not
been paid any Cash Distributions from Operations since the allocation and
payment of Cash Distributions to the Corporate General Partner is subordinated
to the prior receipt by the Limited Partners of a non-cumulative 7% annual
return from either Cash Distributions from Operations or Cash Distributions from
Sales or Refinancings, or both, on their Average Annual Unreturned Invested
Capital.

        Since the amendments herein will reduce the allocation of Cash
Distributions from Operations to the Corporate General Partner from 8% to 3% and
will reallocate 5% of such 8% to the Non-Corporate General Partner (subordinate,
of course, in each instance to the prior receipt by the Limited Partners of a
non-cumulative 7% annual return from either Cash Distributions from Operations
or Cash Distributions from Sales or Refinancings, or both), this amendment will
require both the Corporate General Partner and the Non-Corporate General
Partner, in the proportions of 3/8ths for the Corporate General Partner and
5/8ths for the Non-Corporate General Partner, respectively, to allocate 25% of
their respective shares of any such subordinated Cash Distributions from
Operations to a "Repurchase Fund" to be established by each of them,
respectively.

        The Amendment.  The last two sentences in the first paragraph of Section
10.15 are hereby deleted and there is hereby substituted in lieu thereof the
following three sentences:

        "The Corporate General Partner will allocate 25% of its share of Cash
        Distributions from Operations to a "Repurchase Fund" and the
        Non-Corporate General Partner will allocate to a "Repurchase Fund" 25%
        of its 5% share of Cash Distributions from Operations that is
        subordinated to the prior receipt by the Limited Partners of a
        non-cumulative 7% annual return from either Cash Distributions from
        Operations or Cash Distributions from Sales or Refinancings, or both, on
        their Average Annual Unreturned Invested Capital. The Corporate General
        Partner's share of Cash Distributions from Operations allocated to the
        Repurchase Fund will be commingled with other assets of the Corporate
        General Partner and the Non-corporate General Partner's share of Cash
        Distributions from Operations allocated to the Repurchase Fund will be
        commingled with other assets of the Non-corporate General Partner. Any
        repurchase of Interests pursuant to this Section 10.15 shall be in the
        proportions of 3/8ths by the Corporate General Partner and 5/8ths by the
        Non-corporate General Partner, respectively.*

                                AMENDMENT NO. 10

        Explanation of Amendment.  Section 11.3 provides in respect of voting on
any matter on which the Limited Partners are entitled to vote that each Limited
Partner will be deemed to be "--the holder of only those Interests shown on
Exhibit A, as amended by the last-filed certificate of limited partnership." The
Texas Uniform Limited Partnership Act requires the filing of a certificate of
limited partnership that lists the name and address of each limited partner of a
limited partnership and the amount of the contribution of each limited partner
to the partnership. The certificate of limited partnership filed in the office
of the Secretary of State is authoritative as to the identity of limited
partners. The Texas Uniform Limited Partnership also does not permit an owner of
a limited partnership interest to be considered a "limited

(1)     The Dealer Manager may authorize certain other broker-dealers who are
        members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., to sell
        Interests on a "best efforts" basis. In the event of sale by such other
        broker-dealers, the Dealer Manager has advised the Partnership that the
        Dealer Manager will pay to such other broker-dealers all or a portion of
        its commission from such sales.

(2)     See "The Offering" for a discussion of the reduction in selling
        commissions payable with respect to sales to one purchaser or more than
        25 Interests or with respect to sales to officers, directors, partners,
        employees or Affiliates of the General Partners or their Affiliates.

(3)     The NASAA Guidelines require that, at a minimum, an amount equal to the
        greater of (i) 67% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions or
        (ii) 80% of such capital contributions reduced by .1625% for each 1% of
        indebtedness encumbering the Partnership's properties be committed to
        investment in properties. Investment in properties, as defined under the
        NASAA Guidelines, is the amount of capital contributions actually paid
        or allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement
        of properties acquired by the Partnership (including working capital
        reserves not in excess of 5% of gross offering proceeds). The remaining
        capital contributions not invested in properties are available for the
        payment of Organizational and Offering Expenses, selling commissions,
        acquisition fees and acquisition expenses. Acquisition fees for this
        purpose shall be the total of all fees and commissions paid by any party
        in connection with the purchase or development of property by the
        Partnership, including real estate commissions, acquisition fees,
        selection fees, development fees, non-recurring management fees, or any
        fees of a similar nature, however designated, but excluding a
        development fee paid to a person not affiliated with the General
        Partners or their Affiliates in connection with actual development of
        property after acquisition by the Partnership. Acquisition expenses for
        this purpose include, but are not limited to, legal fees and expenses,
        travel and communication expenses, costs of appraisals, loan commitment
        and loan fees ("points"), nonrefundable option payments on properties
        not acquired, accounting fees and expenses, title insurance, and
        miscellaneous expenses related to selection and acquisition of
        properties, whether or not acquired. It is anticipated that the
        Partnership will not pay any acquisition fees to the General Partners or
        their Affiliates and the total of acquisition fees to all parties and
        acquisition expenses will not exceed 1% of the Limited Partners' capital
        contributions. Based on these assumptions and assuming the sale of
        30,000 Interests with Organizational and Offering Expenses and selling
        commissions equal to 11.5% of the Limited Partners' capital
        contributions, the amount that would be invested in properties would be
        equal to 87.5% of such contributions. The amount invested in Partnership
        properties will comply with the NASAA Guidelines limitations set forth
        above.

(4)     An Affiliate of the General Partners may purchase property in its own
        name (and assume loans in connection therewith) and temporarily hold
        title thereto for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of such
        property or the borrowing of money or obtaining of financing for the
        Partnership, or any other purpose related to the business of the
        Partnership, provided that such property is purchased by the Partnership
        for a price no greater than the cost of such property to the Affiliate,
        and provided there is no difference in interest rates of the loans
        secured by the property at the time acquired by the Affiliate and the
        time acquired by the Partnership, nor any other benefit arising out of
        such transaction to the Affiliate apart from compensation otherwise
        permitted herein. In such event, such Affiliate may be reimbursed for
        its expenses incurred in holding such real property prior to the
        acquisition of such property by the Partnership. On March 15, 1984,
        Murray Properties Company acquired Mountain View Plaza, a shopping
        center in Scottsdale, Arizona for a purchase price of $6,392,916. If
        sufficient funds are received by the Partnership pursuant to this
        offering, the Partnership will acquire the Property from Murray
        Properties Company and Murray Properties Company will be reimbursed as
        provided herein. See "The Property."

(5)     Any prediction of such dollar amount would necessarily involve
        assumptions of future events that cannot be determined at this time.

(6)     To the extent a seller of property to the Partnership sets the sales
        price at a level sufficient to cover the premium for title insurance,
        the Partnership, in effect, will pay the premium in the purchase price
        of the property. 

(7)     The Partnership has entered into nonexclusive contracts with Dallas
        Title Company and Texas Title Company, Affiliates of the General
        Partners, pursuant to which each has agreed that, upon the request of
        the Partnership, it will handle the closing of purchases, sales,
        financings or refinancings by the Partnership of properties situated in
        Texas and will cause to be issued title

                                       14
<PAGE>   6

    insurance policies on such properties. Either of such title insurance
    agencies may receive a portion of the commission on premiums paid for title
    insurance by the Partnership or by a seller of real property to the
    Partnership. In Texas, title insurance premiums and the policy forms are
    prescribed by the State. Each contract provides that if such title insurance
    agency does not derive, in any calendar year, at least 75% of its gross
    income from persons or entities not affiliated with a General Partner, that
    agency's contract will terminate upon the earlier of 60 days after the end
    of the calendar year or as soon as the Partnership can arrange for another
    person or entity to perform such services. Each contract also provides that
    it may be terminated by either party, without penalty, on 60 days' prior
    written notice and that such title insurance agency shall not render
    services or receive title insurance commissions in connection with the
    reinvestment of any proceeds from a sale or refinancing of Partnership
    properties.

(8) The Partnership has entered into an agreement with Murray Management
    Corporation, an Affiliate of the General Partners, pursuant to which Murray
    Management Corporation will be responsible for the management of each
    property and the collection of its rental income, for which services it will
    receive a monthly Property Management Fee. This Property Management Fee is
    payable for professional supervisory management services undertaken in
    connection with the operation of the Partnership's properties. Such fee
    shall include all leasing and re-leasing fees and bonuses, and
    leasing-related services, except that a separate fee may be paid for the
    one-time initial lease-up of a newly constructed property if such service is
    not included in the purchase price of the property, provided that such fee
    shall not exceed the lesser of the cost of such services or 90% of the
    competitive price that would be charged by non-affiliated persons rendering
    similar services in the same or comparable geographic location. Murray
    Management Corporation shall pay from the Property Management Fee, and not
    as an expense of the Partnership, the expenses of rendering supervisory
    property management services; provided, however, that the wages and expenses
    of on-site personnel engaged in the management, leasing and maintenance of
    the Partnership's properties and supplies, repairs, furniture, equipment
    costs and other costs directly attributable to the Partnership's property
    operations shall be deemed to be property operating expenses and as such
    shall be borne by the Partnership by reimbursement to Murray Management
    Corporation. Wages and other actual expenses of personnel may be allocated
    between properties of the Partnership and other properties managed by Murray
    Management Corporation if such properties are owned by (i) a public or
    private program sponsored by the General Partners or their Affiliates or any
    joint venture in which a General Partner or an Affiliate is a party or (ii)
    an unaffiliated third party. Murray Management Corporation has the right to
    subcontract to third parties a portion or all of the management services to
    be rendered by it with respect to any particular property, provided that (a)
    Murray Management Corporation shall at all times remain responsible for the
    management of such property, (b) the Partnership shall not be required to
    pay for duplicate services and (c) the aggregate cost to the Partnership
    will not exceed the amount which would be customarily charged in arms-length
    transactions by others rendering similar services in the locality where the
    property is located, considering the size and type of each such property, if
    only one entity had provided all such services. The agreement between the
    Partnership and Murray Management Corporation may be terminated by either
    party, without penalty, on 60 days' prior written notice.

(9) Except as set forth below, reimbursements to a General Partner or an
    Affiliate of a General Partner shall not be allowed. A General Partner or an
    Affiliate of a General Partner may be reimbursed for: (a) the actual cost of
    goods and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from an
    entity not affiliated with a General Partner or an Affiliate of a General
    Partner; and (b) the lesser of the cost or 90% of the competitive price
    charged by unaffiliated parties for (i) salaries and related salary expenses
    for services that could be performed directly for the Partnership by
    independent parties, including parties, including legal, accounting,
    transfer agent, data processing, duplicating and administration of investor
    accounts and (ii) Partnership reports and communications to investors. All
    such transactions shall be pursuant to the terms of a written contract

                                       15
<PAGE>   7
     between the Partnership and such General Partner or Affiliate which
     precisely describes the services to be rendered or the goods or materials
     to be provided. No reimbursement shall be permitted for services for which
     the General Partners or Affiliates receive a separate fee or for (i)
     salaries, related salary expenses, traveling expenses, and other
     administrative items which are incurred by any Controlling Person or which
     are not directly attributable to the rendering of services to the
     Partnership and (ii) any indirect expenses incurred in performing services
     for the Partnership, such as rent or depreciation, utilities, capital
     equipment, and other administrative items. "Controlling Person" for this
     purpose shall mean any person, regardless of title, who performs executive
     or senior management functions for the General Partners or Affiliates
     similar to those of officers, directors, executive management and senior
     management, or any person who either holds 5% or more equity interest in
     the General Partners or Affiliates or has the power to direct or cause the
     direction of the General Partners or Affiliates, whether through the
     ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise, or, in the
     absence of a specific role or title, any person having the power to direct
     or cause the direction of the management level employees and policies of
     the General Partners or Affiliates. It is not intended that every person
     who carries a title such as vice president, senior vice president,
     secretary or treasurer be included in the definition of Controlling Person.
     In no event shall any amount charged to the Partnership as a reimbursable
     expense by the General Partners exceed the lesser of the actual cost of
     such services or the amount which the Partnership would be required to pay
     to independent parties for comparable services. "Costs" for purposes of
     this paragraph shall include the price of goods and materials paid to
     independent third parties, and direct costs incurred by the General
     Partners or their Affiliates in the transactions, including overhead
     directly attributable to the transaction, but excluding general or
     administrative overhead. "Costs of Services" for purposes of this paragraph
     shall mean the pro rata cost of personnel, including an allocation of
     overhead directly attributable to such personnel, based on the amount of
     time such personnel spent on such services, or other method of allocation
     acceptable to the Partnership's independent certified public accountant.
     Reimbursements are also allowable for certain organizational and offering
     expenses and for the actual costs of on-site personnel engaged in the
     management, leasing and maintenance of the property of the Partnership as
     provided in note (8) above.

(10) The Partnership has entered into a nonexclusive contract with Murray
     Insurance Agency, Inc., an Affiliate of the General Partners, pursuant to
     which, upon the request of the Partnership, such agency will endeavor to
     obtain fire, casualty or similar insurance on the properties of the
     Partnership. Any commission on any casualty insurance brokered by it will
     not exceed the amount customarily received by it from the brokerage of
     comparable policies for unaffiliated persons. Before such agency brokers
     any fire, casualty or similar insurance on any property of the Partnership,
     quotes must have been received from two unaffiliated insurance brokers for
     coverage and terms and comparable to that proposed to be provided by such
     agency. No insurance will be brokered by the Partnership through such
     agency unless the cost of such insurance will be no greater than the lower
     quote of the two unaffiliated insurance agencies. The contract with Murray
     Insurance Agency, Inc. provides that if such agency does not derive at
     least 75% of its gross income from business done with persons or entities
     not affiliated with a General Partner, that agency's contract will
     terminate upon the earlier of 60 days after the end of the calendar year or
     as soon as the Partnership can arrange for another person or entity to
     perform such services. The contract also provides that it may be terminated
     by either party, without penalty, on 60 days' prior written notice. Murray
     General Agency Inc., an Affiliate of the General Partners, will receive
     commissions on insurance premiums paid to Murray Insurance Agency, Inc. by
     virtue of contractual arrangements between it and Murray Insurance Agency,
     Inc.

(11) The General Partners may open and maintain an interest-bearing
     Partnership administrative and property operating account at Murray Savings
     Association, a stock association organized under the Texas Savings and Loan
     Act. Murray Savings Association is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Murray
     Financial Corporation, an Affiliate of the General Partners. Murray Savings
     Association will pay the Partnership the highest interest rate permitted by
     law on such 

                                       16
<PAGE>   8
        accounts. Such accounts are insured up to a maximum of $100,000 by the
        Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC"). It is not
        anticipated that the balance of such accounts will exceed $100,000 on an
        ongoing basis except to the extent monthly property operating expenses
        have not been charged against collected rental income for any such
        month. Murray Savings Association may receive indirect compensation to
        the extent that Murray Savings Association's rate of return on the
        Partnership funds in such account exceeds the interest rate paid to the
        Partnership on such accounts. The Partnership will not be charged any
        servicing fees on this account.

(12)    It is not contemplated that a General Partner or any Affiliate of a 
        General Partner will make a loan to the Partnership, but the Partnership
        Agreement permits any General Partner or any Affiliate of a General
        Partner to make a loan to the Partnership if the interest and other
        financing charges or fees on any such loan is not in excess of the
        amounts which would be charged by unaffiliated lending institutions on
        comparable loans for the same purpose in the same locality but not in
        excess of 2% over the prime rate of Mercantile National Bank at Dallas.
        Any financing charges or fees on any loan to the Partnership by a
        General Partner or an Affiliate of a General Partner will be only those
        incurred by such General Partner or Affiliate in connection with the
        making of such a loan. Neither a General Partner nor an Affiliate of a
        General Partner will make a profit from the Partnership's payment of
        financing charges or fees. No property of the Partnership shall secure
        any loan made to the Partnership by a General Partner or an Affiliate of
        a General Partner if, at the inception of the loan, any payment of
        principal or interest is to be made more than two years after the date
        of the loan.

(13)    For a discussion of Cash Distributions from Operations and Cash
        Distributions from Sales or Refinancing, see "Income and Losses and Cash
        Distributions." 

(14)    Crozier Partners VIII, Ltd. was formed as of January 10, 1984 under The
        Texas Uniform Limited Partnership Act with Jack E. Crozier as the
        general partner and Fulton Murray, individually, Fulton Murray in his
        capacity as Trustee of the Beverly Murray Wilson Trust and Fulton Murray
        and RepublicBank Dallas, N.A. in their capacities as Trustees of a trust
        created under the Will of Owen M. Murray, Deceased, as the limited
        partners.

(15)    All real estate commissions payable to the General Partners or their
        Affiliates for real estate brokerage services in connection with sales
        of properties of the Partnership shall be cumulative but shall be paid
        only after the Limited Partners have been returned their Original
        Invested Capital from Cash Distributions from Sales or Refinancings,
        plus their Preferred Return. If an unaffiliated broker participates in
        the sale of a Partnership property, the subordination requirement will
        apply only to the commission, if any, earned by the General Partners or
        their Affiliates. The total of all real estate commissions payable to
        all parties in connection with the sale of a Partnership property shall
        not exceed a competitive real estate commission which is reasonable,
        customary and competitive in light of the size, type and location of the
        property or 6% of the sales price of the property. Real estate
        commissions payable to the General Partners or their Affiliates will be
        allocated two-thirds to the Non-corporate General Partner or its
        Affiliates and one-third to the Corporate General Partner or its
        Affiliates.

(16)    Cash Distributions from Sales or Refinancings payable to the General
        Partners (other than the 1% of Cash Distributions from Sales or
        Refinancings payable to the Non-corporate General Partner) will be
        divided two-thirds to the Non-corporate General Partner and one-third to
        the Corporate General Partner.
