STATEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1
OF THE
GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
UNDER THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT")
================================================================================
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This statement relates to Depositary Receipts representing Units
(the "Units") of Krupp Cash Plus Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited
partnership (the "Partnership") which has its principal executive offices at
470 Atlantic Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02210.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This Statement is filed jointly by Krescent Partners L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company ("Krescent"), AP-GP Prom Partners Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("AP-GP Prom Partners"), Apollo Real Estate Investment
Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("AREIF II"), and Apollo Real
Estate Advisors II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("AREA II").
Krescent, AP-GP Prom Partners, AREIF II and AREA II are sometimes collectively
referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons."
Krescent was organized for the purpose of acquiring the Units
pursuant to a tender offer on Schedule 14D-1 (the "Schedule 14D-1"), commenced
on January 24, 1997 (the "Tender Offer"). The principal executive office of
Krescent is at 1301 Avenue of the Americas, 38th Floor, New York, New York
10019. The managing member of Krescent is AP-GP Prom Partners, a newly-formed
Delaware corporation which is ultimately controlled by Apollo Real Estate
Capital Advisors II, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Advisors"), as general
partner of AREA II, the general partner of AREIF II, a private real estate
investment fund and the sole shareholder of AP-GP Prom Partners.
AREIF II is principally engaged in the business of investing in
real estate and real estate-related interests. The address of AREIF II's
principal business and its principal office is c/o Apollo Real Estate Advisors
II, L.P., Two Manhattanville Road, Purchase, New York 10577.

Attached hereto as Appendix A is information concerning the

Krescent, and Advisors, the general
Page 6
<PAGE> 7
partner of AREA II, as well as certain other entities, which information is
required to be disclosed in response to Item 2 and General Instruction C to
Schedule 13D. All such persons identified on Appendix A disclaim beneficial
ownership of and any pecuniary interest in the Units beneficially owned by the
Reporting Persons.
None of the Reporting Persons, Advisors, nor any of the persons
or entities referred to in Appendix A hereto, has, during the last five years,
been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and
similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such
laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons are deemed to
beneficially own 274,125.1307 Units. The source of all funds used to acquire
beneficial ownership of such Units was investment funds from working capital of
Krescent, which was contributed by its members AREIF II, AP-GP Prom Partners
and Krescent LFG L.L.C.. None of the funds used to acquire beneficial
ownership were borrowed funds or otherwise obtained for the purpose of
acquiring Units, however, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, use
some or all of the Units in connection with various collateral investment
accounts in the ordinary course of business. AP-GP Prom Partners, the managing
member of Krescent, and AREA II, the general partner of AREIF II, are deemed to
beneficially own the Units beneficially owned by Krescent and AREIF II,
respectively. The Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were
acquired as described below.
Pursuant to the Tender Offer, Krescent purchased an aggregate of
269,052.8307 Units on March 3, 1997 at a per Unit purchase price of $6.00, for
an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,614,317. Prior to commencing
the Tender Offer, Krescent effected secondary market transactions to acquire
5,072.3 Units at purchase prices ranging from $5.75 to $6.00 per Unit.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Each of the Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of
the Units for investment purposes only and not with the purpose of changing or
influencing control of the Partnership. Each of the Reporting Persons retains
the right, however, to change such investment intent, to acquire further Units
or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or a part of the Units beneficially
owned by such Reporting Persons in any manner permitted by law and in
conformity with their obligations under the Standstill Agreement and the
Assumption Agreement, as defined and described below in Item 6 and incorporated
by reference herein.
Although the foregoing currently reflects the present plans and
intentions of the Reporting Persons, the foregoing is subject to change at any
time. The Reporting Persons have and will, on an on-going basis, continue to
evaluate their investment in the Partnership. In the event of a material
change in the present plans or intentions of the Reporting Persons, the
Reporting Persons will amend this Schedule 13D to reflect such change.
Page 7
<PAGE> 8
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) and (b) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons are
deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 274,125.1307 Units, which
constitutes approximately 6.85% of the Units outstanding.* The Reporting
Persons have sole voting and sole dispositive power of all such Units
beneficially owned by them.
American Holdings I, L.P. ("American Holdings"), American
Holdings I-GP, Inc. and American Property Investors, Inc. (collectively
referred to herein as "AHI") commenced the Tender Offer as co-bidders with
Krescent. Pursuant to the Tender Offer, AHI purchased an aggregate of
193,237.2565 Units on March 3, 1997. Prior to commencing the Tender Offer, AHI
advised Krescent that it did not own any Units. Therefore, as of the date
hereof and based on information provided by AHI to Krescent, AHI may be deemed
to beneficially own an aggregate of 193,237.2565 Units, which constitutes
approximately 4.8% of the Units outstanding.
The Reporting Persons and AHI may be deemed to constitute a
"group" because of their past cooperation in conducting the Tender Offer. If
the Reporting Persons and AHI are a group, they may be deemed to beneficially
own approximately 11.7% of the Units outstanding. Since the expiration of the
Tender Offer, however, each of the Reporting Persons and AHI has and will
continue to act independently with respect to the voting of Units and, except
as described in Item 6 below, there is no agreement or understanding among the
Reporting Persons or AHI with respect to the purchase, sale or voting, or
refraining from purchasing, selling, or voting, Units of the Partnership. The
Reporting Persons disclaim formation of a "group" with AHI pursuant to Rule
13d-3 under the Act. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its
contents shall be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons have formed a
"group" with AHI or that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of any
of the Units held by AHI. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim formation
of a "group" with AHI and the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial
ownership of any of AHI's Units.
(c) Except for the purchase of Units pursuant to the Tender
Offer, neither Krescent, AP-GP Prom Partners, AREIF II, AREA II, and to the
best of Krescent's knowledge, the persons listed on Appendix A, nor any
affiliate thereof, has effected any transaction in the Units within the past 60
days.
(d) The Reporting Persons have no knowledge of any persons who
have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of distributions
from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any Units beneficially owned by the
Reporting Persons.
(e) Not applicable.
- --------------------
* All calculations of percentages of beneficial ownership in this Schedule
13D are based on there being 4,000,000 Units outstanding, as of
September 30, 1996, as disclosed in the Partnership's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 1996.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
The information set forth in Item 3, Item 4 and Item 5 above is
hereby incorporated by reference herein.
AREIF II entered into an Option Agreement, dated as of November
21, 1996 (the "Option Agreement") and amended by the First Amendment to Option
Agreement, dated as of January 8, 1997 (the "Option Amendment"), with Liquidity
Financial Group, L.P., a California limited partnership ("LFG") and an
affiliate of the financial advisor of Krescent in connection with the Tender
Offer, pursuant to which LFG was granted an option, for the 6 month period
following the latest date Krescent accepts securities in any tender offer, to
acquire, indirectly through a member of Krescent, up to a 5% interest in
Krescent. The discussion herein of the Option Agreement and the Option
Amendment is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to such
agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as exhibits and incorporated
herein by reference.
Pursuant to an Assumption Agreement dated as of November 21, 1996
between Krescent and LFG, Krescent assumed the restrictions set forth in the
Settlement Agreement and Release, dated June 27, 1996, between LFG and The
Krupp Corporation ("Krupp") (the "Standstill Agreement"), as amended by the
First Amendment to Settlement Agreement and Release, dated as of October 8,
1996 (the "First Amendment"), and by the Second Amendment to Settlement
Agreement and Release, dated as of January 6, 1997 (the "Second Amendment").
As a result, Krescent agreed that, prior to the Standstill Expiration Date (as
defined in the Standstill Agreement), it will not and it will cause certain
affiliates not to generally acquire or attempt to acquire, directly or
indirectly, more than 25% (including Units acquired through all other means) of
the outstanding Units or take certain other actions not consistent therewith.
The discussion herein of the Assumption Agreement, the Standstill Agreement,
the First Amendment and the Second Amendment is subject to and qualified in its
entirety by reference to such agreements, copies of which are attached hereto
as exhibits and incorporated herein by reference.
Krescent entered into an Advisory Agreement, dated as of December
3, 1996 (the "Advisory Agreement"), with Liquidity Financial Advisors, Inc., a
California corporation ("Liquidity Financial"), pursuant to which Liquidity
Financial is entitled to certain advisory fees in exchange for advisory
services it performed for Krescent in connection with the Tender Offer. Such
advisory fees are to be equal to 2% of the amount invested by Krescent as of
the ninetieth day after acquisition of the Units pursuant to the Tender Offer,
or approximately $32,286. Further, after the members of Krescent have received
certain minimum priority returns on their invested capital, Liquidity Financial
will be entitled to additional participations in distributions from the
Partnership pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement. The discussion
herein of the Advisory Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by
reference to such agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as an exhibit
and incorporated herein by reference.
Krescent and its members, on the one hand, and American Holdings
and its partners, on the other, entered into a letter agreement, dated as of
January 8, 1997 (the "Krescent-AHI Agreement"), relating to the conduct of the
Tender Offer and the purchase by American Holdings of 41.8% of the Units
tendered pursuant thereto. The Krescent-AHI Agreement also provides, among
other things, that (i) if, after the exercise and/or expiration of all
outstanding options or other rights
Page 9
<PAGE> 10
to acquire an interest in Krescent, the direct and indirect percentage
ownership interest of AREIF II and its affiliates (the "Apollo Group") in
Krescent exceeds 83.6%, then American Holdings will be entitled to purchase
additional Units from Krescent so that, after giving effect to such purchase,
the total percentage of Units purchased by American Holdings in the Tender
Offer equals 50% of such percentage interest of the Apollo Group in Krescent;
and (ii) each of American Holdings and Krescent has the right to initiate a
buy/sell right at any time after the first anniversary of the expiration of the
Tender Offer, or March 3, 1998, and so long as American Holdings and Krescent
(and/or their respective affiliates) own at least 2% of the outstanding Units.
The buy/sell right provides that either American Holdings or Krescent may offer
to buy Units from the other and the other must either sell such Units to the
offering party or buy the offering party's Units at a purchase price per Unit
and on such other terms and conditions as set forth in the initiating party's
offer. The Krescent-AHI Agreement also contains indemnification provisions
pursuant to which the parties agree to indemnify each other in respect to any
material misstatements or omissions in certain information provided by each of
them in connection with the Schedule 14D-1. The discussion herein of the
Krescent-AHI Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference
to such agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as an exhibit and
incorporated herein by reference.
Except as described above, the Reporting Persons do not have any
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to any
securities of the Partnership.

mutual covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Optionee and the Fund hereby agree as follows:
1. Grant of the Options. The Fund hereby grants to the Optionee the
right to purchase (the "Option") all or any part of the Option Interests from
the Fund exercisable from the date Bidder accepts for payment Units tendered
pursuant to the Tender Offer until that date which is six months after the date
the Option becomes exercisable (the "Option Period"), at a purchase price (the
"Purchase Price") equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate consideration
paid and expenses incurred by the Bidder for the Units in the Tender Offer
together with interest at a rate of 20% per annum based on a year of 366 days
(calculated from and after the date of the closing of the Tender Offer through
and including the date of the closing of the Option). If Optionee does not
exercise the entire Option, the Purchase Price shall be reduced pro rata in
accordance with the percentage of the entire Option exercised by the Optionee.
<PAGE> 2
2. Exercise of the Option. The Option to purchase the Option
Interests shall be exercisable in whole or in part on the terms and subject to
the conditions hereinafter set forth:
(a) In the event that the Optionee is entitled to and wishes
to exercise the Option, the Optionee shall, during the Option Period, send a
written notice (the "Exercise Notice") to the Fund identifying the date and
place for the closing (the "Closing") of the Option Interests to be purchased.
Delivery of the Exercise Notice prior to the expiration of the Option Period
shall be sufficient to entitle the Optionee to purchase the Option Interests
notwithstanding that the Closing may occur after the expiration of the Option
Period; provided, however, that the Closing shall not be more than fifteen (15)
business days from the date that the Exercise Notice is received by the Fund
unless another date is agreed upon in writing by the Fund and the Optionee.
(b) Payment of the Purchase Price for the Option Interests to
be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option will be made by the Optionee
at the Closing by delivering to the Fund, by wire transfer or by certified
check payable to the order of the Fund, an amount equal to the Purchase Price.
3. Transferability of the Option. The Option may not be assigned,
transferred, or otherwise disposed of, or pledged or hypothecated or in any way
be subject to execution, attachment or other process. Any assignment,
transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option attempted
contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or any levy, execution, attachment
or other process attempted upon the Option will be null and void and without
effect.
4. Sale of Option Interests. Except as provided in this Agreement,
the Fund shall not, without the express written consent of the Optionee, during
the Option Period, (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Option
Interests, or (ii) convert such Option Interests into cash, capital stock or
other securities.
5. Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any
change in the Krescent Interests by reason of dividends, split-ups,
recapitalizations, combinations, exchanges of interests or the like, the type
and number of interests of Krescent Interests subject to the Option and the
Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted and proper provision shall be
made so that, in the event that any additional Krescent Interests become
outstanding as a result of any such change after the date of this Agreement,
the Option shall be adjusted so that, after such change and together with the
Krescent Interests previously outstanding pursuant to the exercise of the
Option (as adjusted on account of any of the foregoing change in Krescent
Interests), it equals 29.23% of the number of Krescent Interests then
outstanding.
6. Investment. The Optionee acknowledges that the Option Interests
are not being offered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or any other securities laws. The
Optionee acknowledges that the Option Interests are being acquired for the
Optionee's own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or
for sale in connection with, any public distribution thereof and will not sell,
or offer to sell or otherwise dispose of, any interest in the Option Interests
acquired by the Optionee in violation of the Act. The Optionee has had
substantial experience in business and financial matters and in making
investments of the type contemplated by this Agreement, is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Option Interests and is
able to bear the economic risks of such investment.

<PAGE> 3
5. Use of Lists, Prohibition on Furnishing to Others: Any investor
list obtained by Liquidity or Liquidity Affiliates relative to any Krupp Fund
will be utilized only for the purpose of contacting investors to inquire as to
whether they wish to sell their units in such Krupp Fund to a Liquidity Fund,
and for no other purpose. The lists will not be furnished by Liquidity or
Liquidity Affiliates to any other person or entity.
6. Third Parties: If at any time Liquidity or Liquidity Affiliates
is approached or contacted by any third party concerning participation in a
transaction involving the assets, businesses or securities of any Krupp Fund or
involving any of the actions proscribed by Section 4 hereof or otherwise by
this Agreement, Liquidity or Liquidity Affiliates, as the case may be, will
immediately notify such party of its inability to participate in such a
transaction and, its obligation to notify Krupp and will thereafter promptly
(and in any event, within 5 business days) notify Krupp of the nature of such
contact and the parties thereto. Krupp will indemnify, defend and hold

Krupp Fund.
9. Fiduciary Duties of Krupp; Safe Harbor Provision, Protection of
Partnership Status: Liquidity acknowledges that:
(a) Krupp and its affiliates have significant fiduciary obligations
to the investors in the Krupp Funds, and has stated that it is entering into
this Agreement to, among other things, fulfill those fiduciary obligations;
(b) Krupp may need to take certain further action to meet its
fiduciary obligations, including, without limitation, suspending the acceptance
of transfer paperwork in one or more Krupp Funds to avoid the termination of
such Krupp Fund's status as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the "Code"), as amended; avoid the treatment of such Krupp Fund as a
Publicly Traded Partnership under the Code; or cause the Krupp Fund to fall
outside any so-called "Safe Harbor" provision relating to taxation or tax
status, including provisions relating to Publicly Traded Partnerships; and
(c) That the suspension of the acceptance of transfer paperwork by
Krupp would mean that, notwithstanding the presentment of valid transfer
paperwork and the terms of this Agreement, transfers requested by Liquidity or
a Liquidity Affiliate would not be processed nor reflected on the books and
records of the Krupp Fund.
Nothing herein shall be construed, however, as an acknowledgement or
agreement by Liquidity that Krupp has the right under any particular
circumstances to suspend the acceptance of transfer paperwork, or as a waiver
of any future claims of Liquidity arising out of any such suspension or other
similar action.

EXHIBIT A
KRESCENT PARTNERS L.L.C./
AMERICAN HOLDINGS I, L.P.
PURCHASE OF UNITS OF INVESTOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST OF
KRUPP CASH PLUS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
TENDER OFFER
Krescent Partners L.L.C. proposes to commence an offer (the "Offer") to
purchase up to 999,750 units of investor limited partnership interest (the
"Units") of Krupp Cash Plus Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") at a
purchase price of $6.00 per Unit, net to the seller in cash, without interest,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the draft Offer to
Purchase, dated December 3, 1996 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related
draft Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"). The purchase price
will be reduced by the aggregate amount of distributions per Unit, if any, made
or declared by the Partnership after the date on which the Offer commences and
prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on the date on which the Offer
expires (the "Expiration Date"). In addition, if a distribution is made or
declared after the Expiration Date but prior to the date on which the Purchaser
pays the purchase price for the tendered Units, the Purchaser will offset the
amount of such distribution from the amount otherwise due a holder of Units
pursuant to the Offer. Krescent proposes to file a Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1, substantially in the form of the draft dated December 3, 1996,
with such changes thereto as the parties may agree upon in accordance herewith
(the "Schedule 14D-1") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") with respect to the Offer as soon as practicable following the
date hereof.
PURCHASE OF UNITS
Krescent will sell to American Holdings I, L.P. ("AHI"), an affiliate of
American Real Estate Holdings Limited Partnership, and AHI will purchase from
Krescent, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, 41.8%
of the Units purchased pursuant to the Offer for a purchase price equal to the
price paid by Krescent to Unitholders in respect of such Units (after giving
effect to all deductions and offsets for distributions referred to above),
without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the direct and indirect
percentage interest of Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund II, L.P. and its
affiliates (collectively, the "Apollo Group") in Krescent immediately following
the expiration and/or exercise of all outstanding options or other rights to
acquire an interest in Krescent, whether directly or indirectly, exceeds 83.6%,
then AHI will be entitled to purchase additional Units from Krescent, at the
same purchase price per Unit, so that, after giving effect to such purchase,
the total percentage of Units purchased by AHI from Krescent equals 50% of such
percentage interest of the Apollo Group in Krescent (all such Units purchased
by AHI being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "AHI Units"). The
closing of the initial purchase and sale (the "Closing") will occur not more
than 2 business days following the purchase of the AHI Units by Krescent
pursuant to the Offer, and before Krescent has submitted such Units for
transfer to the Partnership. At such Closing, (1) Krescent will deliver the
AHI Units to AHI, together with all necessary documentation to transfer to AHI
all of Krescent's right, title and interest in and to such Units, such transfer
to be free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances created by Krescent,
(2) AHI will pay the purchase price for such AHI Units by wire transfer into an
account designated by Krescent, (3) the parties will make appropriate payments
so that Total Expenses (as hereinafter defined) are shared in the
<PAGE> 5
manner described below and (4) Krescent will assign to AHI its rights under all
letters of transmittal (including related proxies and powers-of-attorney)
relating to the AHI Units.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the parties acknowledge and
agree that, in the event the transfer of AHI Units from Krescent to AHI, as
contemplated above, would be restricted or delayed by the Partnership as a
result of concerns that such transfer would cause the Partnership to be treated
as a "publicly traded partnership," Krescent will, if AHI so requests, assign
to AHI its right to purchase 41.8% of the Units tendered pursuant to the Offer
together with its rights under all letters of transmittal (including related
proxies and powers-of-attorney) relating to the AHI Units, and AHI will,
thereupon, purchase such Units directly from tendering Unitholders. In such
event, AHI will pay the purchase price for such Units by wire transfer to
Herman Group (as hereinafter defined), simultaneously with the payment by
Krescent of the purchase price for the Units it purchases.
ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES
AHI and Krescent shall share Total Expenses in the same ratio as the number of
AHI Units purchased by AHI from Krescent bears to the total number of Units
purchased pursuant to the Offer. At the Closing and, if necessary, from time
to time thereafter, one party shall pay the other such amounts as may be
necessary so that Total Expenses are shared in such ratio. "Total Expenses"
means all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Krescent, AHI or their
respective affiliates (including attorneys fees and expenses) with respect to:
(1) the Offer, including, without duplication, Commission filing fees, the fees
and expenses of The Herman Group, Inc., the information agent/depositary for
the Offer ("Herman Group"), printing and mailing expenses and Partnership
transfer fees, but excluding any fees payable to LFG (as hereinafter defined)
or its affiliates; and (2) the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
letter agreement. Total Expenses shall not include the costs of purchasing the
Units. Each party will provide, at the execution and delivery hereof, an
estimate of its costs and expenses incurred to date and shall provide, upon
request, invoices or other appropriate evidence of the incurrence of costs and
expenses constituting Total Expenses hereunder.
STANDSTILL AGREEMENT
In order to obtain a list of Unitholders, Liquidity Financial Group, L.P.
("LFG"), an affiliate of Krescent's financial advisor, Liquidity Financial
Advisors, Inc., entered into a settlement agreement and release, dated June 27,
1996, as amended as of October 8, 1996 (the "Standstill Agreement"), with the
Partnership. Krescent assumed the obligations of LFG under the Standstill
Agreement pursuant to an assumption agreement, dated as of November 21, 1996
(the "Krescent Assumption Agreement"). The Standstill Agreement and the
Krescent Assumption Agreement have been filed as exhibits to the Schedule 14D-
1. An affiliate of AHI entered into a Standstill Agreement with the
Partnership on November 26, 1996 (the "AHI Standstill Agreement"). The parties
will cooperate in taking all such action as may be necessary or desirable for
AHI to assume the obligations of LFG under the Standstill Agreement with
respect to the Partnership to the same extent that Krescent is bound thereby
and to amend the Standstill Agreement and the AHI Standstill Agreement to
permit the parties to engage in the transactions contemplated hereby.
The parties will also cooperate in seeking the agreement of the general partner
of the Partnership to admit AHI as a limited partner of the Partnership or
recognize AHI as a registered owner of Units to the same extent as it has
agreed to so admit or recognize Krescent pursuant to the letter Agreement filed
as Exhibit 99.(c)(5) to the Schedule 14D-1.
<PAGE> 6
CONDUCT OF OFFER
From and after the date hereof, all decisions relating to the conduct of the
Offer and the acquisition and transfer of Units pursuant thereto, including
without limitation any change in the terms or waiver of any of the conditions
thereof, shall be made jointly by Krescent and AHI. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that either Krescent or AHI proposes to increase the
purchase price for Units and the other opposes such an increase, such purchase
price shall, subject to the provisions set forth below, nonetheless be
increased as proposed, and the parties shall take all necessary action to amend
the Offer accordingly. The party proposing to increase the purchase price
shall so notify the other party in writing. Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the second business day following receipt of such notice, the
party receiving the notice shall notify the proposing party whether it agrees
to or opposes such increase. If AHI so notifies Krescent of its opposition to
an increase in the purchase price proposed by Krescent, AHI shall have no
further obligation to purchase the AHI Units hereunder, and Krescent shall
thereafter control all decisions regarding the conduct of the Offer and the
acquisition and transfer of Units pursuant thereto. If Krescent so notifies
AHI of its opposition to an increase in the purchase price proposed by AHI,
Krescent shall assign to AHI, and AHI shall assume, Krescent's right and
obligation, subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, to purchase Units
tendered pursuant to the Offer (together with its rights under letters of
transmittal, including proxies and powers-of-attorney, relating to the
purchased Units). From and after the effectiveness of any such assignment and
assumption, AHI shall control all decisions regarding the conduct of the Offer
and the acquisition and transfer of Units pursuant thereto. In either such
event, the parties shall execute and deliver such instruments and documents and
cooperate in taking any other action as may be necessary or desirable to amend
or supplement the Schedule 14D-1 and the Offer to Purchase in accordance with
the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder. If a party opposes a proposed purchase price increase, AHI shall
be responsible for 41.8%, and Krescent shall be responsible for 58.2%, of Total
Expenses incurred through the date on which the opposing party notifies the
proposing party of its opposition, and the proposing party shall be responsible
for 100% of Total Expenses incurred subsequent to such date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the proposing party shall at any time lower
the purchase price for Units or shall breach its obligation to acquire Units
pursuant to the Offer (assuming all conditions thereto have been satisfied or
waived), the opposing party shall have the right (exercisable in its sole
discretion) to purchase Units upon the terms and conditions set forth herein,
and, if the opposing party exercises such right, the parties shall share Total
Expenses as provided under "Allocation of Expenses" above.
COOPERATION
AHI and Krescent shall cooperate and provide each other with such information
as may be necessary or desirable to include AHI as a co-bidder in the Offer and
to disclose the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the
applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder. Neither party shall use the name of the other in
any public disclosure regarding the transactions contemplated hereby without
obtaining the prior written consent of such other party, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
AHI and Krescent shall also cooperate in connection with the transfer of Units
to AHI and Krescent, respectively, and, to the extent within Krescent's
reasonable control, in ensuring that AHI is accorded the benefits of ownership
of the AHI Units from and after the date of the Closing, notwithstanding any
delays in the recognition or effectiveness of the transfer of such Units to AHI
on the books of the Partnership.
<PAGE> 7
Krescent shall execute and deliver such further instruments and documents as
may be necessary or desirable in connection with the foregoing.
Krescent shall instruct Herman Group to provide AHI, upon request, with
information regarding the Offer and tenders made pursuant thereto and to
provide AHI with reports regarding such status and tenders as such reports are
made to Krescent.
INDEMNIFICATION
Krescent and its members, jointly and severally, shall indemnify AHI and hold
it harmless against any loss, claim, damage or liability (or any action in
respect thereof) to which AHI may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any violation of the
Williams Act or any untrue statement of a material fact included in the
December 3, 1996 draft Schedule 14D-1 or the omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading.
Krescent and its members, jointly and severally, on the one hand, and AHI and
its partners, jointly and severally, on the other, shall indemnify and hold
harmless the other against any loss, claim, damage or liability (or any action
in respect thereof) to which any of them may become subject, insofar as such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any violation
of the Williams Act or any untrue statement of a material fact included in the
Schedule 14D-1 as hereafter revised or amended or the omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or action is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished by Krescent or its affiliates, on the one
hand, or AHI or its affiliates, on the other, for inclusion in such Schedule
14D-1.
BUY/SELL
Either AHI or Krescent may institute buy/sell procedures at any time commencing
on the first anniversary of the purchase of the AHI Units by Krescent, as long
as both parties (together with their respective affiliates and members of their
immediate families) continue to own at least 2% of the issued and outstanding
Units. These buy/sell provisions shall cover all Units owned by AHI and by its
affiliates and members of their immediate families and all Units owned by
Krescent and by its affiliates and members of their immediate families, in each
case, whether such Units were acquired prior to the Offer, pursuant to the
Offer or subsequent to the Offer. For purposes of these buy/sell provisions,
LFG shall not be deemed an affiliate of Krescent. Accordingly, these buy/sell
provisions shall not cover (1) that percentage of the Krescent Units equal to
the percentage interest in Krescent, if any, whether direct or indirect, of
LFG, its affiliates and members of their immediate families or (2) any Units
owned directly by any of them. These buy/sell provisions shall not apply to
the extent that any buy/sell transaction would impose any liability under
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
Either party may initiate the buy/sell by delivering to the other a written
offer stating the purchase price on a per Unit basis and other material terms
and conditions on which the initiating party is willing to purchase all, but
not less than all, Units then owned by the non-initiating party.
The non-initiating party shall then be obligated to elect to sell Units to the
initiating party at the per Unit price and upon the other terms and conditions
set forth in the buy/sell offer, or to purchase all of the
<PAGE> 8
initiating party's Units upon such terms and conditions. The non-initiating
party shall have thirty days to decide whether to buy or sell. Failure to
notify the initiating party of such decision on a timely basis shall be deemed
a decision to sell.
The closing of any purchase and sale of Units pursuant to these buy-sell
provisions shall occur no later than 15 days following the delivery of the
notice of election set forth above or such earlier date as shall be specified
in writing by the purchasing party. At any such closing, the selling party
shall sell, transfer and assign to the purchasing party all right, title and
interest in and to the selling party's Units, free and clear of all liens,
claims and encumbrances; the purchasing party shall pay for such Units in cash
or immediately available Federal funds; and, at the request of the purchasing
party, the selling party shall execute all other documents and take such other
actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effectuate the transfer
of the Units and to carry out the purposes of this letter agreement.
PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL UNITS
Prior to the Standstill Expiration Date, the parties subject to the Standstill
Agreement (whether directly or by assumption of the obligations of LFG
thereunder) (such parties being collectively referred to as the "Standstill
Parties") are permitted to purchase up to 25% of the issued and outstanding
Units. In the event that less than such amount is tendered pursuant to the
Offer (and/or already owned by the Standstill Parties on the Expiration Date),
then, prior to the Standstill Expiration Date, AHI and its affiliates will be
entitled to purchase up to 41.8% (or, if AHI purchases additional AHI Units
from Krescent under the circumstances described under "Purchase of Units"
above, then the total percentage of the tendered Units purchased by AHI) of any
Remaining Units (as hereinafter defined) and the other Standstill Parties and
their respective affiliates, collectively, will be entitled to purchase the
balance of any Remaining Units, in each case, without obtaining the consent of
or notifying any other party. "Remaining Units" means the difference between
25% of the outstanding Units and the number of Units purchased pursuant to the
Offer and/or owned by the Standstill Parties as of the Expiration Date.
NO OTHER CONTRACTS
Except as expressly set forth herein, there are no contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships between AHI and Krescent with respect to the
Units.
FURTHER ASSURANCES
Each of the parties agrees that it shall take whatever action or actions as are
deemed by counsel to any party hereto to be reasonably necessary, advisable or
convenient from time to time to effectuate the provisions or intent of this
agreement, and to that end, each party agrees that it will execute, acknowledge
and deliver any further instruments or documents as give force and effect to
this letter agreement or any of the provisions hereof, or to carry out the
intent of this letter agreement or any of the provisions hereof.
REMEDIES
It is understood and agreed that monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy
for violation of this agreement, and in the case of an actual breach by a party
of the provisions hereof, any one or more of the other parties shall be
entitled to relief by way of injunction, specific performance or other
equitable relief.
