    We will accept up to 820 Units (as defined below) in response to the Offer

from time to time. We are currently seeking to acquire 820 Units. If we were to

Units. The Offer is not subject to a minimum number of Units being tendered. If
Units are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to January 19, 2000

    We will pay for accepted Units promptly after the Expiration Date.

    The Offer Price will be reduced for any distributions declared or made by
the Partnership between September 30, 1999 and the Expiration Date, unless
further extended. THE PURCHASER WILL PAY ANY TRANSFER FEES, BROKERAGE FEES OR
COMMISSION THAT MAY ARISE UPON THE TENDER OF UNITS TO THE PURCHASER IN
CONNECTION WITH ITS OFFER (generally, up to 10% of the sales price, subject to a
$150-200 minimum commission per trade). We are unaware of any other fees or
commissions that you may incur.

"Purchaser") all of the units of limited partnership interest and the rights
attendant to the Litigation (as hereinafter defined) (the "Units") in the
Partnership held by the undersigned or, if less than all such Units, the number
set forth below in the signature box, at a purchase price equal to $6,345 per
Unit, less the amount of any distributions made or declared with respect to the
Units between September 30, 1999 and the Expiration Date, and upon the other
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase (the
"Offer to Purchase") dated December 2, 1999 (the "Offer Date") and in this
Letter of Transmittal, as each may be supplemented or amended from time to time
(which together constitute the "Offer"). Receipt of the Offer to Purchase is
hereby acknowledged. The undersigned recognizes that, if more than 820 Units are
validly tendered prior to or on the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn,
the Purchaser will, upon the terms of the Offer, accept for payment from among
those Units tendered prior to or on the Expiration Date 820 Units on a pro rata
basis, with adjustments to avoid purchases of certain fractional Units, based
upon the number of Units validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date and not
withdrawn. The undersigned also recognizes that if the purchase of the Units
would result in there being less than 320 Unitholders, the Purchaser will
purchase only 99% of the total number of Units so tendered by each limited
partner with adjustments rounded up or down, at the sole discretion of the
Purchaser, to avoid the purchase of fractional Units, if possible. Subject to
and effective upon acceptance for payment of any of the Units tendered hereby,
the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of,
Purchaser all right, title and interest in and to such Units which are purchased
pursuant to the Offer.

    The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser as
the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact and proxy of the undersigned with
respect to such Units, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney
and proxy being deemed to be an irrevocable power and proxy coupled with an
interest), to deliver such Units and transfer ownership of such Units, on the
books of the Partnership, together with all accompanying evidences of transfer
and authenticity, to or upon the order of the Purchaser and, upon payment of the
purchase price in respect of such Units by the Purchaser, to exercise all voting
rights and to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of
beneficial ownership of such Units all in accordance with the terms of the
Offer. Subject to and effective upon the purchase of any Units tendered hereby,
the undersigned hereby requests that the Purchaser be admitted to the
Partnership as a "substitute Limited Partner" under the terms of the Agreement
of Limited Partnership of the Partnership. Upon the purchase of Units pursuant
to the Offer, all prior proxies, releases and consents given by the undersigned
with respect to such Units will be revoked and no subsequent proxies, releases
or consents may be given (and if given will not be deemed effective). In
addition, by executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned assigns to
the Purchaser all of the undersigned's rights to receive distributions from the
Partnership with respect to Units which are purchased pursuant to the Offer,
other than distributions declared or paid through the Expiration Date and to
change the address of record for such distributions on the books of the
Partnership. The undersigned assigns its rights and claims under the litigation
entitled ROSALIE NUANES, ET AL. V. INSIGNIA FINANCIAL GROUP, ET AL. (the
"Litigation") to the Purchaser. Upon request, the undersigned will execute and
deliver, and irrevocably directs any custodian to execute and deliver, any
additional documents deemed by the Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to
complete the assignment, transfer and purchase of such Units.

    The undersigned irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser and any
designees of the Purchaser as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of
the undersigned with respect to such Units, with full power of substitution
(such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an
interest), to withdraw any or all of such Units that have been previously
tendered in response to any tender or exchange offer provided that the price per
Unit being offered by the Purchaser is equal to or higher than the price per
Unit being offered in the previous tender or exchange offer. This appointment is

                                       2
<PAGE>
effective immediately and shall continue to be effective unless and until such
Units are withdrawn from the Offer by the undersigned prior to the Expiration
Date.

    The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned owns the
Units tendered hereby within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and has full power and authority to validly
tender, sell, assign and transfer the Units tendered hereby, and that when any
such Units are purchased by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will acquire good,
marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens,
restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other
obligations relating to the sale or transfer thereof, and such Units will not be
subject to any adverse claim. Upon request, the undersigned will execute and
deliver any additional documents deemed by the Purchaser to be necessary or
desirable to complete the assignment, transfer and purchase of Units tendered
hereby.

    All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the
death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligations of the undersigned
shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, trustees in
bankruptcy, legal representatives, and successors and assigns of the
undersigned.

    The undersigned further represents and warrants that, to the extent a
certificate evidencing the Units tendered hereby (the "original certificate") is
not delivered by the undersigned together with this Letter of Transmittal:
(i) the undersigned represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the
undersigned has not sold, transferred, conveyed, assigned, pledged, deposited or
otherwise disposed of any portion of the Units; (ii) the undersigned has caused
a diligent search of the records to be taken and has been unable to locate the
original certificate; (iii) if the undersigned shall find or recover the
original certificate evidencing the Units, the undersigned will immediately and
without consideration surrender it to the Purchaser; and (iv) the undersigned
shall at all times indemnify, defend, and save harmless the Purchaser and the
Partnership, its successors, and its assigns from and against any and all
claims, actions, and suits whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against
any and all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs, charges, counsel
fees, and other expenses of every nature and character by reason of honoring or
refusing to honor the original certificate when presented by or on behalf of a
holder in due course of a holder appearing to or believed by the Partnership to
be such, or by issuance or delivery of a replacement certificate, or the making
of any payment, delivery, or credit in respect of the original certificate
without surrender thereof, or in respect of the replacement certificate.

    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
the right of the Purchaser to effect a change of distribution address to Two
North Riverside Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The undersigned recognizes that
under certain circumstances set forth in 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. All authority
herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity
of the undersigned and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon
the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.

                           (SEE INSTRUCTION 3--BOX B)

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

          (i)  The TIN set forth in the Signature Box is the correct TIN of
      the Unitholder, 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
      IRS Center or Social Security Administration Office; or (b) the
      Unitholder intends to mail or deliver an application in the near future
      (it being 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 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) if you are unable to certify that
  the Unitholder is not subject to backup withholding.

                                FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT

                           (SEE INSTRUCTION 3--BOX C)

      Under Section 1445(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treas. Reg.
  1.1445-11T(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 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 estate or foreign trust (as
      those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax
      Regulations); (ii) the Unitholder's U.S. social security number (for
      individuals) or employer identification number (for non-individuals) is
      correctly printed in the Signature Box; and (iii) the Unitholder's home
      address (for individuals), or office address (for non-individuals), is
      correctly printed in the Signature Box. 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 4--BOX D)

      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
  the U.S. federal income tax laws, because the Unitholder:

          (i)  Is a nonresident alien individual 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.

             FORMING PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER

    1.  TENDER, SIGNATURE REQUIREMENTS; DELIVERY.  After carefully reading and
completing this Letter of Transmittal, in order to tender Units, a Unitholder
must sign at the "X" in the Signature Box of this Letter of Transmittal and
insert the Unitholder's correct Taxpayer Identification Number or Social
Security Number ("TIN"), address, telephone number and number of Units being
tendered in the spaces provided below the signature. If this Letter of
Transmittal is signed by the registered Unitholder of the Units, a Medallion
signature guarantee on this Letter of Transmittal is required. Similarly, if
Units are tendered for the account of a member firm of a registered national
securities exchange, a member firm of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank, savings bank, credit union, savings and loan
association or trust company having an office, branch or agency in the United
States (each an "Eligible Institution"), a Medallion signature guarantee is
required. In all other cases, signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be
Medallion guaranteed by an Eligible Institution, by completing the Signature
Guarantee set forth in Box A of this Letter of Transmittal. A Medallion
Signature Guarantee is provided by your bank or brokerage house. If you obtain a
Medallion Signature Guarantee from a bank, brokerage house or trust company, a
Corporate Resolution (with a raised corporate seal) from the bank, brokerage
house or trust company must be included (stating that the Guarantor is an
authorized signatory). If any tendered Units are registered in the names of two
or more joint holders, all such holders must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If
this Letter of Transmittal is signed by trustees, administrators, guardians,
attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or
representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and must
submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of their authority to so
act. For Units to be validly tendered, a properly completed and duly executed
Letter of Transmittal, together with any required signature guarantees in Box A,
and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received
by the depositary prior to or on the Expiration Date at its address or facsimile
number set forth on the front of this Letter of Transmittal. No alternative,
conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering Unitholders by
execution of this Letter of Transmittal waive any right to receive any notice of
the acceptance of their tender.

    2.  TRANSFER TAXES.  The Purchaser will pay or cause to be paid all transfer
taxes, if any, payable in respect of Units accepted for payment pursuant to the
Offer.

    3.  U.S. PERSONS.  A Unitholder who or which is a United States citizen or
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 Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations,
should complete the following:

        BOX B--SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9.  In order to avoid 31% federal income tax
    backup withholding, the Unitholder must provide to the Purchaser the
    Unitholder's correct Taxpayer Identification Number or Social Security
    Number ("TIN") in the space provided below the signature line and certify,
    under penalties of perjury, that such Unitholder is not subject to such
    backup withholding. The TIN that must be provided is that of the registered
    Unitholder. If a correct TIN is not provided, penalties may be imposed by
    the Internal Revenue Service ("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.

        BOX C--FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT.  To avoid potential withholding of tax pursuant
    to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code, each Unitholder who or which
    is a United States Person (as defined 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

                                       7
<PAGE>
    Code is not an additional tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of
    tax, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.

        BOX D--FOREIGN PERSONS.  In order for a Unitholder who is a foreign
    person (i.e., not a United States Person as defined in 3 above) to qualify
    as exempt from 31% backup withholding, such foreign Unitholder must certify,
    under penalties of perjury, the statement in BOX D of this Letter of
    Transmittal attesting to that foreign person's status by checking the box
    preceding such statement. However, such person will be subject to
    withholding of tax under Section 1445 of the Code.

    4.  ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE.  If you have the certificate originally issued to
represent your interest in the Partnership, please send it to the depositary
with this letter of transmittal.
