Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
- ----------------------------------------------------
Forestwood Apartments
In 1984, the Partnership acquired the Forestwood Apartments, East Baton Rouge
Parish, Louisiana, utilizing approximately $4,386,645 in offering proceeds.
The property was acquired subject to first mortgage financing of approximately
$7,823,000. In 1987, the first mortgage loan was refinanced with a new first
mortgage loan from a third party of approximately $5,906,000. In connection
with the refinancing, the Partnership made a $1,916,993 principal prepayment of
the mortgage loan. The first mortgage loan was refinanced again in 1993 with a
new $5,900,000 first mortgage loan from another third party.
On October 14, 1996, the Partnership contracted to sell the property for a sale
price of $10,100,000 to an unaffiliated party, New Plan Realty Trust, a
Massachusetts business trust. The purchaser has deposited $250,000 into an
escrow account as earnest money and will pay the remainder of the purchase
price at closing, which is scheduled for October 30, 1996. From the proceeds
of the sale, the Partnership will repay the first mortgage loan which is
expected to have an outstanding balance at closing of approximately $5,754,000
and $202,000 to a third party as a brokerage commission. An affiliate of the
third party providing property management services for the property will
receive a fee for services rendered in connection with the sale of the property
of up to $101,000. The Partnership will receive the remaining proceeds of
approximately $4,043,000, less closing costs. Of the net sale proceeds,
$250,000 will be retained by the Partnership and will not be available for use
or distribution by the Partnership until 120 days after the closing. Neither
the General Partner nor any affiliate will receive a brokerage commission in
connection with the sale of the property. The General Partner will be
reimbursed by the Partnership for actual expenses incurred in connection with
the sale.
Affiliates of the general partner have sold or contracted to sell five other
properties to the purchaser.
The closing is subject to the satisfaction of numerous terms and conditions.
There can be no assurance that all of the terms and conditions will be complied
with and, therefore, it is possible the sale of the property may not occur.

AGREEMENT OF SALE
THIS AGREEMENT OF SALE (this "Agreement") is entered into as of this
day of October, 1996, by and between NEW PLAN REALTY TRUST, a Massachusetts
business trust ("Purchaser") and FORESTWOOD PARTNERS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, an
Illinois limited partnership ("Seller").
WITNESSETH:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE. Purchaser agrees to purchase and Seller agrees to
sell at the price of Ten Million One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($10,100,000.00) ("Purchase Price"), that certain property ("Property") in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana more particularly described on Exhibit A attached
hereto, which Property is known as Forestwood Apartments, including all
easements, tenements, hereditaments, rights, licenses, privileges and
appurtenances, whether or not of record, in any way belonging or relating
thereto and all mineral, oil, gas and other hydrocarbon substances on or under
the land and all development, air, water and other rights in any way belonging
or relating to the land or the improvements thereon, all right, title and
interest in and to any streets, roads, alleys or other public ways adjoining or
serving the land, including any land lying in the bed of any street, road,
alley or other public way, open or proposed, and any strips, gores, culverts
and rights-of-way adjoining or serving the land (including all riparian and
other rights in and to submerged lands). Included in the Purchase Price is all
of the personal property owned by Seller and used in connection with or located
on the Property, including but not limited to all lease files and copies of all
books, records and other files which are used in connection with the ownership
or operation of the Property and the personal property which is set forth on
Exhibit B, which shall be transferred to Purchaser at Closing (as hereinafter
defined) by a Bill of Sale.
2. PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
a. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the sum of Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) ("Deposit") to be held in
escrow by the Escrow Agent (as that term is defined in the Escrow Agreement),
by and in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement ("Escrow
Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit C;
b. On the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), $10,100,000.00
(inclusive of the Deposit) adjusted in accordance with the prorations by
federally wired "immediately available" funds delivered to the Title Insurer
(as hereinafter defined) no later than 1:00 P.M. Central Time on the Closing
Date. If the funds are not received by the Title Insurer by 1:00 P.M. Central
Time, then $2,020.00 shall be added to the cash due at Closing. Seller agrees
that Seller shall deliver a draft closing statement to Purchaser one (1) day
prior to the Closing Date.
3. TITLE COMMITMENT AND SURVEY.
a. Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a title commitment dated May 24,
1996 ("Title Commitment") for an owner's standard coverage title insurance
policy issued by Baton Rouge Title Co., Inc., as agent for Commonwealth Land
Title Insurance Company ("Title Insurer"). Seller will provide Purchaser with
an updated Title Commitment within ten (10) days from the date hereof. The
<PAGE>
owner's Title Policy (as hereinafter defined) issued at Closing will be in the
aggregate amount of the Purchase Price and the purchase prices for the Other
Property (as hereinafter defined), if any, and shall insure the real property
described on Exhibit A subject only to real estate taxes not yet due and
payable, and the special title exceptions set forth in Schedule B-Section 2,
Numbers 2 through 5 inclusive of the Title Commitment ("Permitted Exceptions").
Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that a single policy of title
insurance (the "Title Policy") shall be issued for the Property and two (2)
other properties commonly known as Sherwood Acres I and II Apartments and
Willow Bend Lake Apartments, each located in East Baton Rouge Parish,
Louisiana, which may be acquired by Purchaser simultaneously with the
acquisition of the Property (the "Other Property"). The Title Commitment shall
be conclusive evidence of good title as therein shown as to all matters insured
by the policy, subject only to the exceptions therein stated. On the Closing
Date, Seller shall cause the Title Insurer to issue the Title Policy or a
"marked up" commitment in favor of Purchaser containing only the Permitted
Exceptions and the "extended coverage", and the special endorsements required
by Purchaser. Seller shall pay the costs of the Title Policy and the costs of
"extended coverage" and the special endorsements which Purchaser requires.
b. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a survey ("Survey") of the
Property prepared by Evans-Graves Engineers, Inc. dated August 12, 1996.
Within twenty-one (21) days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser will
provide Seller with an update of the survey ("Updated Survey") certified to the
Purchaser. However, if Purchaser requires any additional survey work after the
Updated Survey, Purchaser shall pay for the cost of such additional work.
4. CONDITION OF TITLE/CONVEYANCE. Seller agrees to convey fee simple
title to the Property by Act of Cash Sale ("Sale") in self-proving form subject
only to the Permitted Exceptions. The Sale will be made by Seller with no
warranty of title except for claims arising by, through or under Seller. If
Seller is unable to convey title to the Property subject only to the Permitted
Exceptions because of the existence of an additional title exception
("Unpermitted Exception"), then Seller shall make all reasonable efforts to
remove the Unpermitted Exception and shall remove any Unpermitted Exception
caused by Seller subsequent to May 24, 1996 with the intention to prevent the
consummation of this Agreement. If Seller is unable to remove the Unpermitted
Exception, then Seller shall so notify Purchaser and Purchaser can elect to
take title to the Property subject to the Unpermitted Exception or terminate
this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, then the
Deposit plus all accrued interest shall be delivered to the Purchaser and,
subject to the survival provisions of Paragraph 18 herein, neither party shall
have any further liability hereunder. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Seller
shall be obligated to remove all liens which are of a definite or ascertainable
amount.
5. PAYMENT OF CLOSING COSTS. Purchaser and Seller shall equally share
the costs of the recording of the Sale and any other documents delivered in
connection with this Agreement, but Seller shall pay for the cost of recording
any releases in connection with the existing loan encumbering the Property.
<PAGE>
6. DAMAGE, CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.
a. If the Property suffers damage as a result of any casualty prior
to the Closing Date and can be repaired or restored in the case of real
property for $200,000.00 or less, or in the case of Personal Property, for
$10,000.00 or less, Purchaser shall proceed with the Closing and accept the
Property in its damaged condition together with an assignment from Seller of
all insurance proceeds and receive a credit at Closing in the amount of the
deductible. In such event, Purchaser shall have the right to negotiate the
settlement of the insurance claim with the insurance carrier. Seller shall
execute whatever documents are reasonably required in order to enable Purchaser
to conduct those negotiations. If the cost of repair or restoration exceeds
those amounts, then Purchaser, upon notice to Seller served within twenty (20)
days of receipt of notice from Seller of the casualty, can elect to either: (a)
terminate this Agreement or (b) accept the Property in its damaged condition
together with an assignment from Seller of all insurance proceeds and receive a
credit at Closing in the amount of the deductible. In such event, Purchaser
shall have the right to negotiate the settlement of the insurance claim with
the insurance carrier and Seller shall execute whatever documents are
reasonably required in order to enable Purchaser to conduct those negotiations.
If Purchaser has not given its notice prior to the Closing Date because the
twenty (20) day period has not expired, then the Closing Date shall be extended
until one (1) business day after Purchaser is required to give its notice.
b. If condemnation proceedings ("Proceedings") are instituted
against the Property, or if Seller receives notice that Proceedings are going
to be commenced, then Purchaser can elect to either take the Property subject
to the Proceedings and receive from Seller an assignment of Seller's interest
in the Proceedings and any award pursuant to the Proceedings or terminate this
Agreement. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, it shall be by
notice to the Seller within five (5) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of
the Proceedings.
c. If the Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Paragraph, then
the Deposit plus all accrued interest shall be delivered to the Purchaser.
7. AS-IS CONDITION.
a. Seller acquired title to the Property by virtue of a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, and therefore, except as may otherwise be
specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller cannot make any
representations as to the condition of the Property upon which Purchaser can
rely. Any information which Seller has as to the leases is based solely upon
information which Seller obtained subsequent to its acquisition of the
Property. Purchaser is not relying on Seller having made any inquiry as to the
condition of the Property or the leases. Except as may otherwise be
specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that it will be purchasing the Property based solely upon its inspection
and investigations of the Property and that Purchaser will be purchasing the
Property "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS" based upon the condition of the Property
as of the date of this Agreement, subject to reasonable wear and tear and loss
(subject to Paragraph 6) by fire or other casualty or condemnation from the
date of this Agreement until the Closing Date. Except as expressly set forth
herein, Purchaser expressly waives the warranty of fitness and the guarantee
against hidden or latent vices (defects in the Property sold which render it
<PAGE>
useless or render its use so inconvenient or imperfect that Purchaser would not
have purchased the Property had it known of the vice) provided by law in
Louisiana, more specifically, that warranty imposed by Louisiana Civil Code
2520 et seq. with respect to Seller's warranty against latent or hidden defects
of the Property sold, not even for a return of the Purchase Price. Except as
expressly set forth herein, Purchaser forfeits the right to avoid the sale or
reduce the Purchase Price on account of a hidden or latent vice in the
Property. This provision has been specifically called to the attention of
Purchaser and fully explained to Purchaser, and Purchaser acknowledges that it
has read and understands this waiver of all such express or implied warranties
and except as expressly set forth herein, accepts the Property without any
express or implied warranties. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser
acknowledges that, except as may otherwise be specifically set forth elsewhere
in this Agreement, neither Seller nor its consultants, brokers or agents have
made any other representations or warranties of any kind upon which Purchaser
is relying as to any matters concerning the Property, including, but not
limited to, the condition of the land or any improvements, the existence or
nonexistence of asbestos, lead in water, lead in paint, radon, underground or
above ground storage tanks, petroleum, toxic waste or any Hazardous Materials
or Hazardous Substances (as such terms are defined below), the tenants of the
Property or the leases affecting the Property, economic projections or market
studies concerning the Property, any development rights, taxes, bonds,
covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Property, water or water
rights, topography, drainage, soil, subsoil of the Property, the utilities
serving the Property or any zoning, environmental or building laws, rules or
regulations affecting the Property. Seller makes no representation that the
Property complies with Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act or,
except as may be specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, any fire
codes or building codes. Except for the breach of the representation or
warranty set forth in Paragraph 19b.ix., Purchaser hereby releases Seller from
any and all liability in connection with any claims which Purchaser may have
against Seller, and except for the breach of the representation or warranty set
forth in Paragraph 19b.ix., Purchaser hereby agrees not to assert any claims,
for damage, loss, compensation, contribution, cost recovery or otherwise,
against Seller, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, relating directly or
indirectly to the existence of asbestos or Hazardous Materials or Hazardous
Substances on, or environmental conditions of, the Property, or arising under
the Environmental Laws (as such term is hereinafter defined), or relating in
any way to the quality of the indoor or outdoor environment at the Property.
This release shall survive the Closing. As used herein, the term "Hazardous
Materials" or "Hazardous Substances" means (i) hazardous wastes, hazardous
materials, hazardous substances, hazardous constituents, toxic substances or
related materials, whether solids, liquids or gases, including but not limited
to substances defined as "hazardous wastes," "hazardous materials," "hazardous
substances," "toxic substances," "pollutants," "contaminants," "radioactive
materials," or other similar designations in, or otherwise subject to
regulation under, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq.;
the Toxic Substance Control Act ("TSCA"), 15 U.S.C. Section 2601 et seq.; the
Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 1802; the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 1101 et seq.; the
Atomic Energy Act ("AEA"), 42 U.S.C. Section 2011 et seq.; the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq.; the
Clean Water Act ("CWA"), 33 U.S.C. Section 1251 et seq.; the Safe Drinking
Water Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 300f et seq.; the Clean Air Act ("CAA"), 42 U.S.C.
<PAGE>
Section 7401 et seq.; and in any permits, licenses, approvals, plans, rules,
regulations or ordinances adopted, or other criteria and guidelines promulgated
pursuant to the preceding laws or other similar federal, state or local laws,
regulations, rules or ordinance now or hereafter in effect relating to
environmental matters (collectively the "Environmental Laws"); and (ii) any
other substances, constituents or wastes subject to any applicable federal,
state or local law, regulation or ordinance, including any Environmental Law,
now or hereafter in effect, including but not limited to (A) petroleum, (B)
refined petroleum products, (C) waste oil, (D) waste aviation or motor vehicle
fuel, (E) asbestos, (F) lead in water, paint or elsewhere, (G) radon, (H)
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB's) and (I) ureaformaldehyde.
b. Seller has provided to Purchaser certain unaudited historical
financial information regarding the Property relating to certain periods of
time in which Seller owned the Property. Seller and Purchaser hereby
acknowledge that such information has been provided to Purchaser at Purchaser's
request solely as illustrative material. Except as may be specifically set
forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller makes no representation or warranty
that such material is complete or accurate or that Purchaser will achieve
similar financial or other results with respect to the operations of the
Property, it being acknowledged by Purchaser that Seller's operation of the
Property and allocations of revenues or expenses may be vastly different than
Purchaser may be able to attain. Purchaser acknowledges that it is a
sophisticated and experienced purchaser of real estate and further that
Purchaser has relied upon its own investigation and inquiry with respect to the
operation of the Property and, except as may be specifically set forth
elsewhere in this Agreement, releases Seller from any liability with respect to
such historical financial information.
8. CLOSING. The closing ("Closing") of this transaction shall occur on
October 30, 1996 ("Closing Date"), at the office of the Seller's attorney, at
which time Seller shall deliver possession of the Property to Purchaser. The
Closing Date may be extended by Purchaser for up to two (2) business days
because of a "force majeure". The Closing Date is also subject to extension
pursuant to Paragraphs 6 and 17 of this Agreement.
9. CLOSING DOCUMENTS.

10. DEFAULT BY PURCHASER. THE DEPOSIT DEPOSITED INTO THE ESCROW IS TO
SECURE THE TIMELY PERFORMANCE BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS AND UNDERTAKINGS
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DEFAULT OF THE PURCHASER UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AND THE INTEREST
THEREON AS SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO DAMAGES OR ANY OTHER REMEDY.
THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT

prepaid rents) and other income; refundable security and other deposits (which
will be assigned to and assumed by Purchaser and a check in the amount of the
security and other deposits will be given to Purchaser at Closing); water and
other utility charges; fuels; prepaid and unpaid operating expenses; real and
personal property taxes based upon the most recent tax bill; and other similar
items shall be adjusted ratably as of 11:59 P.M. on the day preceding the
Closing Date ("Proration Date"), and credited or debited to the balance of the
cash due at Closing. Tenant allowances and concessions and unpaid leasing
commissions for leases entered into prior to the Closing Date will be adjusted
and prorated so as to provide that Seller is responsible for all such matters.
If the amount of any of the items to be prorated is not then ascertainable, the
adjustment thereof shall be on the basis of the most recent ascertainable data.
All prorations will be final except as to Delinquent Rents and real estate and
<PAGE>
personal property taxes referred to in 12b below. If special assessments have
been levied against the Property for completed improvements, then they shall be
paid by the Seller whether the bills are payable prior to or after the Closing
Date. All assessments first coming due after the Closing for incomplete
improvements shall be paid by Purchaser.
b. DELINQUENT RENTS. If, as of the Closing Date, any rent is in
arrears ("Delinquent Rent") for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs,
then Seller's pro rata share of such Delinquent Rent collected during the month
of Closing will be delivered to Seller. If any Delinquent Rent is collected by
either Purchaser or Seller after the month in which the Closing occurs, then
such rents so collected shall first be applied to current rent and then to
Delinquent Rent in the inverse order of its maturity. Purchaser and Seller
shall deliver to the other party its pro rata share within 10 days of
Purchaser's or Seller's receipt, as applicable, of that Delinquent Rent. This
subparagraph of this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the delivery and
recording of the Sale. On or before December 16, 1996, or such earlier date as
the current tax bill for the Property shall be issued, Purchaser and Seller
shall re-prorate the real estate and personal property taxes for the current
year based upon said current tax bill. In the event that the tax bill for the
Property is unavailable at that time, Seller and Purchaser shall base the
reprorations on the most recent data available from the relevant governmental
office.
13. RECORDING. This Agreement shall not be recorded and the act of
recording by Purchaser shall be an act of default hereunder by Purchaser and
shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10. In the event that this
Agreement is recorded in default of this Agreement, it shall not be deemed to
affect or encumber title to the Property, and it shall not be deemed to create
or establish any right, claim, interest or privilege in the Property in favor
of Purchaser.
14. ASSIGNMENT. The Purchaser shall not have the right to assign its
interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Seller.
Any assignment or transfer of, or attempt to assign or transfer, Purchaser's
interest in this Agreement shall be an act of default hereunder by Purchaser
and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10. Seller hereby consents to an
assignment to any corporation which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser,
provided such assignment is effected prior to the expiration of the Approval
Period. However, Purchaser shall remain liable for all of the Purchaser's
obligations and undertakings set forth in this Agreement and the exhibits
attached hereto.
15. BROKER. The parties hereto acknowledge that Sage Properties
("Broker") is the only real estate broker involved in this transaction. Seller
agrees to pay Broker a commission or fee ("Fee") pursuant to a listing
agreement between Seller and Broker. However Seller represents that this Fee
is due and payable only from the proceeds of the Purchase Price received by
Seller. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and
any partner, affiliate, parent of Seller, and all shareholders, employees,
officers and directors of Seller or Seller's partner, parent or affiliate (each
of the above is individually referred to as a "Seller Indemnitee") from all
claims, including attorneys' fees and costs incurred by a Seller Indemnitee as
a result of anyone's (except Broker) claiming by or through Purchaser any
brokerage fee, commission or compensation on account of this Agreement, its
<PAGE>
negotiation or the sale hereby contemplated. Seller agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Purchaser and all shareholders, employees,
trustees, officers and directors of Purchaser or Purchaser's parent or
affiliate (each of the above is individually referred to as a "Purchaser
Indemnitee") from all claims, including attorneys' fees and costs incurred by a
Purchaser Indemnitee as a result of anyone's claiming by or through Seller any
brokerage fee, commission or compensation (including the Broker) on account of
this Agreement, its negotiation or the sale hereby contemplated.
16. DOCUMENTS, INSPECTION OF PROPERTY AND APPROVAL PERIOD.
a. Seller has delivered to Purchaser copies of the most recent
available tax bills, rent rolls, insurance premiums, and service contracts
(collectively the "Documents"). All of the Documents and other matters to be
reviewed by Purchaser shall be subject to review by Purchaser by the close of
business (5:00 P.M. Central Daylight Time) on October 24, 1996 ("Approval
Period"). During the Approval Period, upon reasonable notice (which may be
given verbally no later than 24 hours prior thereto unless the law requires
longer notice with respect to inspection of the interior of the apartments) to
the Seller, the Purchaser shall have the right to inspect the Property
including the interior of the apartments and Seller's books and records, leases
and other files pertaining to the Property and the environmental condition of
the Property, during normal business hours. During Purchaser's inspection of
the books and records, leases and other files pertaining to the operation,
maintenance and leasing of the Property, Seller will provide Purchaser with
copies of those documents which are specifically requested by Purchaser.
Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold Seller harmless from
any and all claims for personal injury and property damage and mechanic lien
claims which Seller may incur or suffer as a result of Purchaser's conducting
its inspection and investigation of the Property including the entry of
Purchaser, its employees or agents and its lender onto the Property, including
without limitation, liability for mechanics' lien claims.
b. Purchaser agrees to defend and hold Seller harmless from any
injuries, damages or claims of any nature whatsoever which Purchaser's
servants, agents or employees may have as a result of Purchaser's inspection of
the Property. Purchaser further agrees to restore any damage to the Property
which may arise as a result of Purchaser's inspection of the Property.
c. On or prior to the expiration of the Approval Period, Purchaser
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason in
Purchaser's sole and exclusive discretion by serving a notice ("Notice of
Disapproval") delivered to Seller and the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration
of the Approval Period. Upon receipt of the Notice of Disapproval, the Deposit
plus the interest accrued thereon shall be returned to the Purchaser and this
Agreement shall be terminated. If Purchaser does not deliver a Notice of
Disapproval to Seller, then it shall be conclusively presumed that Purchaser
has waived its right to terminate this Agreement with respect to the provisions
of this Paragraph 16.
17. SELLER'S RIGHT TO CURE. If on or prior to the Closing Date, Deborah
Hartigan, Steve Siegel or Tom Farrell discover that any representation or
warranty of Seller is untrue in any material respect or that Seller is in
default under this Agreement or that Seller has failed to perform a required
covenant (individually or collectively, a "Known Breach"), then Purchaser may
<PAGE>
waive such Known Breach or give Seller notice of such Known Breach. Upon
receipt of notice from Purchaser, Seller shall have ten (10) days in order to
cure such Known Breach and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended
until the second business day after the Known Breach has been cured. If, after
making all reasonable efforts, Seller is unable to cure the Known Breach within
such ten (10) day period, then Purchaser shall elect by notice to Seller to
either (i) waive the Known Breach or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which
case, Purchaser shall have a right to recover actual third party expenses in an
amount not to exceed $100,000.00 as provided in Paragraph 11 of this Agreement.
In the event of termination, the Deposit plus the interest accrued thereon
shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to give Seller notice of a
Known Breach, then Purchaser shall have waived its rights to assert any claims
for such Known Breach.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 17 or
elsewhere in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that to the extent any
representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement is made to the
knowledge of Seller or is based on the receipt of notice by Seller, in the
event that Seller first acquires such knowledge or first receives such notice
after the date of this Agreement and as a result thereof, Seller is unable to
reaffirm and restate the accuracy of such representation and warranty, such
failure shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement, but
Purchaser shall nonetheless have the right to either (i) waive such ability to
reaffirm and restate said representation and warranty, or (ii) terminate this
Agreement and receive the Deposit plus the interest accrued thereon (said
return of the Deposit and interest thereon being Purchaser's sole remedy in
such event).
18. SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, the parties' obligations to indemnify, defend and hold each
other harmless under various provisions of this Agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or the Closing and delivery and recording of the
Sale.
19. SELLER'S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.
a. Any reference herein to Seller's knowledge, or notice of any
matter or thing, shall only mean such knowledge or notice that has actually
been received by Reid Reynolds (the asset manager), and any representation or
warranty of the Seller is based upon those matters of which Reid Reynolds (the
asset manager) has actual knowledge. Any knowledge or notice given, had or
received by any of Seller's agents, servants or employees (other than Reid
Reynolds) shall not be imputed to Seller or the individual partners or the
general partner of Seller.
b. Subject to the limitations set forth in subparagraph a above,
Seller hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants,
all of which are made to the best of Seller's knowledge, and all of which shall
be reaffirmed and restated on and as of the Closing Date and which shall

iii. There are no pending or threatened litigation, claims,
causes of action or administrative proceedings concerning the Property, except

the personal injury claim of Kamal & Anna Zeiour filed as Case No. 407,916 with
the 19th Judicial District, Parish of East Baton Rouge, Louisiana, nor does
Seller have any knowledge for the basis for such litigation, claims, causes of
action or administrative proceedings.
iv. This Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of Seller and, upon the assumption that this Agreement constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller.
v. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the

not (a) violate or conflict with the organizational documents of Seller, (b)
violate or conflict with any judgment, decree or order of any court applicable

under, any contract, agreement, instrument or obligation to which Seller is a
party or by which Seller is bound, or (d) violate or conflict with any law or
governmental regulation or permit applicable to Seller.
vi. Seller has not received written notice of any pending or
threatened condemnation of all or any portion of the Property.
vii. Attached hereto as Exhibit O is a list of all service,
maintenance and supply contracts affecting the Property in effect on the date

set forth on Exhibit O, neither party to any service contract is in default
thereunder.

Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 and the 1984 Tax Reform
Act, as amended.
ix. Seller has not received written notice from any
governmental authority that the Property contains Hazardous Substances or

estate which is contiguous to or is located within a one mile radius of the
Property.
xii. Seller has not received written notice from a governmental
authority or any public utility that the water supply or sewage disposal
systems presently servicing the Property are inadequate to distribute the water
supply and dispose of the sewage for the Property.
xiii. The unaudited operating statements for 1995 and 1996
to date which Seller has delivered to Purchaser is the same information which
Seller relies upon in making reports to its limited partners and in filing its
federal income tax returns.
c. Seller covenants that:
i. The management, operation, leasing and maintenance of the
Property, as conducted by the Seller during the past three (3) months, shall
continue until the Closing Date.

(10) tenant leases because of a default by any tenant under any such lease
without Purchaser's prior written consent, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
iv. Seller will perform its obligations under existing leases.
20. ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT. Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit P is the

Scientists and Engineers designated as Job No. 45004.15, dated April 30, 1993
("Environmental Report"), which Seller is delivering to Purchaser, at

Environmental Report is accurate or complete. Purchaser hereby releases Seller
from any liability whatsoever with respect to the Environmental Report,
including, without limitation, the matters set forth in the Environmental
Report or the accuracy and/or completeness of the Environmental Report.
21. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
a. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 25 and 26 herein, no
general or limited partner of Seller, nor any of its respective beneficiaries,
shareholders, partners, officers, agents, employees, heirs, successors or
assigns shall have any personal liability of any kind or nature for or by
reason of any matter or thing whatsoever under, in connection with, arising out
of or in any way related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
herein, and Purchaser hereby waives for itself and anyone who may claim by,
<PAGE>
through or under Purchaser any and all rights to sue or recover on account of
any such alleged personal liability.
b. This Agreement and all documents, agreements, understandings and
arrangements relating to this transaction have been negotiated, executed and

fiscal years of Seller's ownership of the Property ending immediately preceding

warranty by the Seller.
