(collectively the "Purchasers") hereby seek to acquire Units of limited
partnership interest (the "Units") in BRAUVIN INCOME PROPERTIES L.P. 6, a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"). The Purchasers are not
affiliated with the Partnership or its general partners. The Purchasers hereby
offer to purchase up to 784 Units at a purchase price equal to $475 per Unit,
less the amount of any distributions declared or made with respect to the Units
between October 15, 1998 (the "Offer Date") and November 13, 1998, or such other
date to which this Offer may be extended (the "Expiration Date"), in cash,
without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Offer to Purchase (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of
Transmittal, as each may be supplemented or amended from time to time (which
together constitute the "Offer"). The 784 Units sought pursuant to the Offer
represent approximately 10% of the Units outstanding as of December 31, 1997.
Holders of Units ("Unitholders") are urged to consider the following factors:
- Unitholders who tender their Units will give up the
opportunity to participate in any future benefits from the
ownership of Units, including potential future distributions
by the Partnership, and the purchase price per Unit payable to
a tendering Unitholder by the Purchasers may be less than the
total amount which might otherwise be received by the
Unitholder with respect to the Unit over the remaining term of
the Partnership.
- The Purchasers are making the Offer for investment purposes
and with the intention of making a profit from the ownership
of the Units. In establishing the purchase price of $475 per
Unit, the Purchasers are motivated to establish the lowest
price which
1
<PAGE>
might be acceptable to Unitholders consistent with the
Purchasers' objectives. There is no public market for the
Units, and neither the Unit holders nor the Purchasers have
any accurate means for determining the actual present value of
the Units. Although there can be no certainty as to the
actual present value of the Units, the Purchasers have
estimated, solely for purposes of determining the Offer price,
that the Units could have an estimated value of $559 per Unit.
Nevertheless, amounts which may actually be realized with
respect to the Units may vary substantially from this estimate
and there can be no assurance that this estimate accurately
reflects an approximate value of the Units.
- As a result of consummation of the Offer, the Purchaser may be
in a position to significantly influence all Partnership
decisions on which Unitholders may vote. The Purchaser will
vote the Units acquired in the Offer in its own interest,
which may be different from or in conflict with the interests
of the remaining Unitholders.
- The Purchasers may accept only a portion of the Units tendered
by a Unitholder in the event a total of more than 784 Units
are tendered.
THE OFFER TO PURCHASE IS NOT CONDITIONED UPON ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS BEING
TENDERED. IF MORE THAN 784 UNITS ARE VALIDLY TENDERED AND NOT WITHDRAWN, THE
PURCHASERS WILL ACCEPT FOR PURCHASE 784 UNITS FROM TENDERING UNITHOLDERS ON A
PRO RATA BASIS, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREIN.
A UNITHOLDER MAY TENDER ANY OR ALL UNITS OWNED BY SUCH UNITHOLDER.
The Purchasers expressly reserve the right, in their sole discretion, at any
time and from time to time, (i) to extend the period of time during which the
Offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and the payment for,
any Units, (ii) upon the occurrence of any of the conditions specified in
Section 13 of this Offer to Purchase, to terminate the Offer and not accept for
payment any Units not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for, or to delay
the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, any Units not theretofore
accepted for payment or paid for, and (iii) to amend the Offer in any respect.
Notice of any such extension, termination or amendment will promptly be
disseminated to Unitholders in a manner reasonably designed to inform
Unitholders of such change in compliance with Rule 14d-4(c) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). In the case of an extension of the
Offer, such extension will be followed by a press release or public announcement
which will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the next
business day after the scheduled Expiration Date, in accordance with Rule
14e-1(d) under the Exchange Act.

<PAGE>
To the Unitholders of BRAUVIN INCOME PROPERTIES L.P. 6
INTRODUCTION
The Purchasers hereby offer to purchase up to 784 Units at a purchase
price of $475 per Unit, less the amount of any distributions declared or paid
with respect to the Units between the Offer Date and the Expiration Date ("Offer
Price"), in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Offer. Unitholders who tender their Units will not be obligated
to pay any Partnership transfer fees, or any other fees, expenses or commissions
in connection with the tender of Units. The Purchasers will pay all such costs
and all charges and expenses of the Depositary, an affiliate of certain of the
Purchasers, as depositary in connection with the Offer.
For further information concerning the Purchasers, see Section 11 below
and Schedule I.
None of the Purchasers nor the Depositary is affiliated with the
Brauvin 6, Inc. or Mr. Jerome J. Brault, together the Partnership's general
partners (the "General Partners"), or with any affiliate of such persons.
Unitholders are urged to consider the following factors:
- Unitholders who tender their Units will give up the
opportunity to participate in any future benefits from the
ownership of Units, including potential future distributions
by the Partnership, and the purchase price per Unit payable to
a tendering Unitholder by the Purchasers may be less than the
total amount which might otherwise be received by the
Unitholder with respect to the Unit over the remaining term of
the Partnership.
- The Purchasers are making the Offer for investment purposes
and with the intention of making a profit from the ownership
of the Units. In establishing the purchase price of $475 per
Unit, the Purchasers are motivated to establish the lowest
price which might be acceptable to Unitholders consistent with
the Purchasers' objectives. There is no public market for the
Units, and neither the Unit holders nor the Purchasers have
any accurate means for determining the actual present value of
the Units. Although there can be no certainty as to the
actual present value of the Units, the Purchasers have
estimated, solely for purposes of determining the Offer price,
that the Units could have an estimated value of $559 per Unit.
Nevertheless, amounts which may actually be realized with
respect to the Units may vary substantially from this estimate
and there can be no assurance that this estimate accurately
reflects an approximate value of the Units.
- As a result of consummation of the Offer, the Purchaser may be
in a position to significantly influence all Partnership
decisions on which Unitholders may vote. The Purchaser will
vote the Units acquired in the Offer in its own interest,
which may be different from or in conflict with the interests
of the remaining Unitholders.
- The Purchasers may accept only a portion of the Units tendered
by a Unitholder in the event a total of more than 784 Units
are tendered.
The Offer will provide Unitholders with an opportunity to liquidate
their investment without the usual transaction costs associated with market
sales. Unitholders may have a more immediate
5
<PAGE>
need to use the cash now tied up in an investment in the Units and wish to sell
them to the Purchasers. Unit holders who sell all of their Units will also
eliminate the need to file form K-1 information with their federal tax returns
for years after 1998.
Establishment of the Offer Price
The Purchasers have set the Offer Price at $475 per Unit, less the
amount of any distributions declared or made with respect to the Units between
the Offer Date and Expiration Date. In determining the Offer Price, the
Purchasers analyzed a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including:
(i) the lack of a secondary market for resales of the Units and the resulting
lack of liquidity of an investment in the Partnership; (ii) the Purchasers'
estimate of the potential liquidation value of the Partnership's assets; and
(iii) the costs to the Purchasers associated with acquiring the Units.
The Partnership stated in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1997, that there is no established trading market for the
Units and that it was not aware of any market sales of Units in the 60 days
prior to the filing of the 10-K in March 1998. The Partnership Spectrum, an
independent publisher of a secondary market report, reported no transactions
during the period from March, 1998 through August, 1998 for units of Brauvin
Income Properties L.P. 6. The information published by the independent source is
the product of their market research and does not constitute the comprehensive
transaction reporting of a securities exchange. Accordingly, the Purchasers do
not know whether the foregoing transaction information is accurate or complete.
The lack of any public market for the sale of Units means that Unit holders have
limited alternatives if they seek to sell their Units. As a result of such
limited alternatives for Unit holders, the Purchasers may not need to offer as
high a price for the Units as they would otherwise. On the other hand, the
Purchasers also take a greater risk in establishing a purchase price as there is
no prevailing market price to be used for reference and the Purchasers
themselves will have limited liquidity for the Units upon consummation of the
purchase. Neither the Purchasers or any of its affiliates have recently acquired
any Partnership Units.
The Offer Price represents only the price at which the Purchasers are
willing to purchase Units and not an objective estimate of the Units' market
value. No independent person has been retained to evaluate or render any opinion
with respect to the fairness of the Offer Price and no representation is made by
the Purchasers or any affiliate of the Purchasers as to such fairness. Other
measures of the value of the Units may be relevant to Unitholders. Unitholders
are urged to consider carefully all of the information contained herein and
consult with their own advisors, tax, financial or otherwise, in evaluating the
terms of the Offer before deciding whether to tender Units.
The Purchasers are offering to purchase Units which are an illiquid
investment and are not offering to purchase the Partnership's underlying assets.
Consequently, the Purchasers do not believe that the underlying asset value of
the Partnership was not determinative in arriving at the Offer Price.
Nevertheless, the Purchasers used publicly available information concerning the
Partnership contained in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997, to derive an estimated asset value solely for the purpose of
assisting their analysis in formulating the Offer. The Purchasers are not
qualified as real estate appraisers and have relied solely on publicly available
information in
6
<PAGE>
making their estimate of the value of the Partnership's assets. Their estimated
value of Partnership assets was calculated solely for limited purposes described
above, and cannot be relied upon as representing an amount which might actually
be realized upon a liquidation of the Partnership's assets, whether now or at
any time in the future.
In determining their estimated value of the Units, the Purchasers first
estimated the square foot values of the Partnership's properties. These
estimated square foot values were determined through an analysis of the square
foot values of similar property types as reported in various real-estate
industry publications such as the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts (NAREIT) publication. The Purchasers believe that the square foot values
they used are within a range of square foot values currently employed in the
marketplace for properties of similar type, age and quality. The selection of
comparable values involves subjective judgment, however, and the use of
different square foot values might also be appropriate. In this regard,
Unitholders should be aware that the use of higher square foot values would
result in a higher Estimated Net Sales Value.
To determine the Estimated Liquidation Value of the Partnership's
assets, the Purchaser added to the Estimated Net Sales Value of the
Partnership's property the net current assets as reported in the Partnership's
most recent Form 10-K. The resulting Estimated Liquidation Value of the
Partnership's assets was approximately $559 per Unit. The Purchasers emphasize
that this value was calculated by them solely for purposes of calculating the
Offer Price. There can be no assurance as to the actual liquidation value of
Partnership assets or as to the amount or timing of distributions of liquidation
proceeds which may be received by Unitholders.
The Partnership currently owns interests in three retail properties,
Delchamps Plaza North Shopping Center, a 59,000 square foot shopping center on a
seven acre site located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Shoppes on the Parkway, an
86,900 square foot factory outlet complex on a 9.4 acre site located in Hilton
Head, South Carolina; and Ponderosa Restaurant, a 5,400 square foot building and
adjoining land occupied by the Ponderosa Restaurant in Garfield Heights, Ohio.
Under the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is not required to sell its
properties until the earlier of the date Unitholders holding a majority of the
Units vote to liquidate the Partnership or December 31, 2025. Accordingly, the
timing of the sale of Partnership's properties and resulting liquidation of the
Partnership remains uncertain, and, consequently, the timing of amounts to be
received by Unitholders in respect of such sale and liquidation cannot be
determined.
General Background Information
Certain information contained in this Offer to Purchase which relates
to, or represents, statements made by the Partnership or the General Partners,
has been derived from information provided in reports filed by the Partnership
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to publicly available information, there were 7,843 Units
issued and outstanding held by approximately 610 Unitholders at December 31,
1997.
Tendering Unitholders will not be obligated to pay transfer fees,
7
<PAGE>
brokerage fees, or commissions on the sale of the Units to the Purchasers
pursuant to the Offer. The Purchasers will pay all charges and expenses incurred
in connection with the Offer. The Purchasers desire to purchase all Units
tendered by each Unitholder.
If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchasers increase the
consideration offered to Unitholders pursuant to the Offer, such increased
consideration will be paid with respect to all Units that are purchased pursuant
to the Offer, whether or not such Units were tendered prior to such increase in
consideration.
Unitholders are urged to read this Offer to Purchase and the
accompanying Letter of Transmittal carefully before deciding whether to tender
their Units.
TENDER OFFER
Section 1. Terms of the Offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
the Offer, the Purchasers will accept for payment and pay for Units validly
tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn in accordance with
Section 4 of this Offer to Purchase. The term "Expiration Date" shall mean 12:00
midnight, Pacific Standard Time, on November 13, 1998, unless and until the
Purchasers shall have extended the period of time for which the Offer is open,
in which event the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time and date on
which the Offer, as so extended by the Purchasers, shall expire.
The Offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions. See
Section 13, which sets forth in full the conditions of the Offer. The Purchasers
reserve the right (but shall not be obligated), in their sole discretion and for
any reason, to waive any or all of such conditions. If, by the Expiration Date,
any or all of such conditions have not been satisfied or waived, the Purchasers
reserve the right (but shall not be obligated) to (i) decline to purchase any of
the Units tendered, terminate the Offer and return all tendered Units to
tendering Unitholders, (ii) waive all the unsatisfied conditions and, subject to
complying with applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, purchase all
Units validly tendered, (iii) extend the Offer and, subject to the right of
Unitholders to withdraw Units until the Expiration Date, retain the Units that
have been tendered during the period or periods for which the Offer is extended
or (iv) to amend the Offer.
The Purchasers do not anticipate and have no reason to believe that any
condition or event will occur that would prevent the Purchasers from purchasing
tendered Units as offered herein.
Section 2. Proration; Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Units. If the
number of Units validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn
is 784 or less, the Purchasers, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
the Offer, will accept for payment all Units so tendered. If the number of Units
validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn exceeds 784, the
Purchasers, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, will
accept for payment Units so tendered on a pro rata basis.

<PAGE>
In the event that proration is required, because of the difficulty of
immediately determining the precise number of Units to be accepted, the
Purchasers will announce the final results of proration as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than five business days following the Expiration Date. The
Purchasers will not pay for any Units tendered until after the final proration
factor has been determined.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including,
if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any extension
or amendment), the Purchasers will accept for payment, and will pay for, Units
validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with Section 4, as promptly as
practicable following the Expiration Date. In all cases, payment for Units
purchased pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the
Depositary of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or
facsimile thereof) and any other documents required by the Letter of
Transmittal.
For purposes of the Offer, the Purchasers shall be deemed to have
accepted for payment (and thereby purchased) tendered Units when, as and if the
Purchasers give oral or written notice to the Depositary of the Purchasers'
acceptance for payment of such Units pursuant to the Offer. Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of the Offer, payment for Units purchased pursuant to
the Offer will in all cases be made by deposit of the Offer Price with the
Depositary, which will act as agent for the tendering Unitholders for the
purpose of receiving payment from the Purchasers and transmitting payment to
tendering Unitholders.
Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the Offer Price by
reason of any delay in making such payment.
If any tendered Units are not purchased for any reason, the Letter of
Transmittal with respect to such Units not purchased will be of no force or
effect. If, for any reason whatsoever, acceptance for payment of, or payment
for, any Units tendered pursuant to the Offer is delayed or the Purchasers are
unable to accept for payment, purchase or pay for Units tendered pursuant to the
Offer, then, without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under Section 13 (but
subject to compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act), the Depositary
may, nevertheless, on behalf of the Purchasers, retain tendered Units, subject
to any limitations of applicable law, and such Units may not be withdrawn except
to the extent that the tendering Unitholders are entitled to withdrawal rights
as described in Section 4.
If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchasers shall increase the
consideration offered to Unitholders pursuant to the Offer, such increased
consideration shall be paid for all Units accepted for payment pursuant to the
Offer, whether or not such Units were tendered prior to such increase.

<PAGE>
Section 3. Procedures for Tendering Units.
Valid Tender. For Units to be validly tendered pursuant to the Offer, a properly
completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (a copy of which is enclosed
with this Offer to Purchase, printed on purple paper for the Units) with any
other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal must be received by the
Depositary at its address set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase
on or prior to the Expiration Date. A Unitholder may tender any or all Units
owned by such Unitholder.
In order for a tendering Unitholder to participate in the Offer, Units
must be validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, which
is 12:00 midnight, Pacific Standard Time, on November 13, 1998, or such date to
which the Offer may be extended.
The method of delivery of the Letter of Transmittal and all other required
documents is at the option and risk of the tendering Unitholder and delivery
will be deemed made only when actually received by the Depositary.
Backup Federal Income Tax Withholding. To prevent the possible application of
31% backup federal income tax withholding with respect to payment of the Offer
Price for Units purchased pursuant to the Offer, a tendering Unitholder must
provide the Depositary with such Unitholder's correct taxpayer identification
number and make certain certifications that such Unitholder is not subject to
backup federal income tax withholding. Each tendering Unitholder must insert in
the Letter of Transmittal the Unitholder's taxpayer identification number or
social security number in the space provided on the front of the Letter of
Transmittal. The Letter of Transmittal also includes a substitute Form W-9,
which contains the certifications referred to above. (See the Instructions to
the Letter of Transmittal.)
FIRPTA Withholding. To prevent the withholding of federal income tax in an
amount equal to 10% of the sum of the Offer Price plus the amount of Partnership
liabilities allocable to each Unit tendered, each Unitholder must complete the
FIRPTA Affidavit included in the Letter of Transmittal certifying such
Unitholder's taxpayer identification number and address and that the Unitholder
is not a foreign person. (See the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal and
"Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.")
Other Requirements. By executing a Letter of Transmittal as set forth above, a
tendering Unitholder irrevocably appoints the designees of the Purchasers as
such Unitholder's proxies, in the manner set forth in the Letter of Transmittal,
each with full power of substitution, to the full extent of such Unitholder's
rights with respect to the Units tendered by such Unitholder and accepted for
payment by the Purchasers. Such appointment will be effective when, and only to
the extent that, the Purchasers accept such Units for payment. Upon such
acceptance for payment, all prior proxies given by such Unitholder with respect
to such Units will, without further action, be revoked, and no subsequent
proxies may be given (and if given will not be effective). The designees of the
Purchasers will, with respect to such Units, be empowered to exercise all voting
and other rights of such Unitholder as they in their sole discretion may deem
proper at any meeting of Unitholders, by written consent or otherwise. In
addition, by executing a Letter of Transmittal, a Unitholder also assigns to
10
<PAGE>
the Purchasers all of the Unitholder's rights to receive distributions from the
Partnership with respect to Units which are accepted for payment and purchased
pursuant to the Offer, other than those distributions declared or paid during
the period commencing on the Offer Date and terminating on the Expiration Date.
Determination of Validity; Rejection of Units; Waiver of Defects; No Obligation
to Give Notice of Defects. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility
(including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Units
pursuant to the procedures described above will be determined by the Purchasers,
in their sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. The
Purchasers reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders if not in
proper form or if the acceptance of, or payment for, the absolute right to
reject any or all tenders if not in proper form or if the acceptance of, or
payment for, the Units tendered may, in the opinion of the Purchasers' counsel,
be unlawful. The Purchasers also reserve the right to waive any defect or
irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular Units of any
particular Unitholder, and the Purchasers' interpretation of the terms and
conditions of the Offer (including the Letter of Transmittal and the
Instructions thereto) will be final and binding. Neither the Purchasers, the
Depositary, nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of
any defects or irregularities in the tender of any Units or will incur any
liability for failure to give any such notification.
A tender of Units pursuant to any of the procedures described above
will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering Unitholder and the
Purchasers upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including
the tendering Unitholder's representation and warranty that (i) such Unitholder
owns the Units being tendered within the meaning of Rule 14e-4 under the
Exchange Act and (ii) the tender of such Unit complies with Rule 14e-4. Rule
14e-4 requires, in general, that a tendering security holder actually be able to
deliver the security subject to the tender offer, and is of concern particularly
to any Unitholders who have granted options to sell or purchase the Units, hold
option rights to acquire such securities, maintain "short" positions in the
Units (i.e., have borrowed the Units) or have loaned the Units to a short
seller. Because of the nature of limited partnership interests, the Purchasers
believe it is unlikely that any option trading or short selling activity exists
with respect to the Units. In any event, a Unit holder will be deemed to tender
Units in compliance with Rule 14e-4 and the Offer if the holder is the record
owner of the Units and the holder (i) delivers the Units pursuant to the terms
of the Offer, (ii) causes such delivery to be made, (iii) guarantees such
delivery, (iv) causes a guaranty of such delivery, or (v) uses any other method
permitted in the Offer (such as facsimile delivery of the Transmittal Letter).
Section 4. Withdrawal Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4,
all tenders of Units pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable, provided that Units
tendered pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the
Expiration Date and, unless theretofore accepted for payment as provided in this
Offer to Purchase, may also be withdrawn at any time after December 14, 1998.
For withdrawal to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission
notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary at the address or
the facsimile number set forth in the attached Letter of Transmittal. Any such
notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Units
to be withdrawn and must be signed by the person(s) who signed the Letter of
11
<PAGE>
Transmittal in the same manner as the Letter of Transmittal was signed.
If purchase of, or payment for, Units is delayed for any reason or if
the Purchasers are unable to purchase or pay for Units for any reason, then,
without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under the Offer, tendered Units may
be retained by the Depositary on behalf of the Purchasers and may not be
withdrawn except to the extent that tendering Unitholders are entitled to
withdrawal rights as set forth in this Section 4, subject to Rule 14e-1(c) under
the Exchange Act, which provides that no person who makes a tender offer shall
fail to pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or
on behalf of security holders promptly after the termination or withdrawal of
the tender offer.
All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt)
of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Purchasers, in their sole
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. Neither the
Purchasers, the Depositary, nor any other person will be under any duty to give
notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or
will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
Any Units properly withdrawn will be deemed not to be validly tendered
for purposes of the Offer. Withdrawn Units may be re-tendered, however, by
following the procedures described in Section 3 at any time prior to the
Expiration Date.
Section 5. Extension of Tender Period; Termination; Amendment. The Purchasers
expressly reserve the right, in their sole discretion, at any time and from time
to time, (i) to extend the period of time during which the Offer is open and
thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and the payment for, any Units by
giving oral or written notice of such extension to the Depositary, (ii) upon the
occurrence or failure to occur of any of the conditions specified in Section 13,
to delay the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, any Units not heretofore
accepted for payment or paid for, or to terminate the Offer and not accept for
payment any Units not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for, by giving
oral or written notice of such termination to the Depositary, and (iii) to amend
the Offer in any respect (including, without limitation, by increasing or
decreasing the consideration offered or the number of Units being sought in the
Offer or both or changing the type of consideration) by giving oral or written
notice of such amendment to the Depositary. Any extension, termination or
amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by public announcement,
the announcement in the case of an extension to be issued no later than 9:00
a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the next business day after the previously
scheduled Expiration Date, in accordance with the public announcement
requirement of Rule 14d-4(c) under the Exchange Act. Without limiting the manner
in which the Purchasers may choose to make any public announcement, except as
provided by applicable law (including Rule 14d-4(c) under the Exchange Act), the
Purchasers will have no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise
communicate any such public announcement, other than by issuing a release to the
Dow Jones News Service. The Purchasers may also be required by applicable law to
disseminate to Unitholders certain information concerning the extensions of the
Offer and any material changes in the terms of the Offer.
If the Purchasers extend the Offer, or if the Purchasers (whether
12
<PAGE>
before or after its acceptance for payment of Units) are delayed in their
payment for Units or are unable to pay for Units pursuant to the Offer for any
reason, then, without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under the Offer, the
Depositary may retain tendered Units on behalf of the Purchasers, and such Units
may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering Unitholders are entitled to
withdrawal rights as described in Section 4. However, the ability of the
Purchasers to delay payment for Units that the Purchasers have accepted for
payment is limited by Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, which requires that the
Purchasers pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by
or on behalf of holders of securities promptly after the termination or
withdrawal of the Offer.
If the Purchasers make a material change in the terms of the Offer or
the information concerning the Offer or waive a material condition of the Offer,
the Purchasers will extend the Offer to the extent required by Rules 14d-4(c),
14d-6(d) and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act. The minimum period during which an
offer must remain open following a material change in the terms of the offer or
information concerning the offer, other than a change in price or a change in
percentage of securities sought, will depend upon the facts and circumstances,
including the relative materiality of the change in the terms or information.
With respect to a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought
(other than an increase of not more than 2% of the securities sought), however,
a minimum ten business day period is generally required to allow for adequate
dissemination to security holders and for investor response. As used in this
Offer to Purchase, "business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or
a federal holiday, and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00
midnight, Pacific Standard Time.
Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences. THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX
DISCUSSION SET FORTH BELOW IS INCLUDED HEREIN FOR GENERAL
INFORMATION ONLY AND DOES NOT PURPORT TO ADDRESS ALL ASPECTS OF
TAXATION THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A PARTICULAR UNITHOLDER. For
example, this discussion does not address the effect of any applicable foreign,
state, local or other tax laws other than federal income tax laws. Certain
Unitholders (including trusts, foreign persons, tax-exempt organizations or
corporations subject to special rules, such as life insurance companies or S
corporations) may be subject to special rules not discussed below. This
discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), existing regulations, court decisions and Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") rulings and other pronouncements. EACH UNITHOLDER TENDERING UNITS SHOULD
CONSULT SUCH UNITHOLDER'S OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES
TO SUCH UNITHOLDER OF ACCEPTING THE OFFER, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF THE
ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX AND FEDERAL, FOREIGN, STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS.
The following discussion is based on the assumption that the
Partnership is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and is
not a "publicly traded partnership" as that term is defined in the Code.
Gain or Loss. A taxable Unitholder will recognize a gain or loss on the sale of
such Unitholder's Units in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the
amount realized by such Unitholder on the sale and (ii) such Unitholder's
adjusted tax basis in the Units sold. The amount realized by a
13
<PAGE>
Unitholder will include the Unitholder's share of the Partnership's liabilities,
if any (as determined under Code section 752 and the regulations thereunder). If
the Unitholder reports a loss on the sale, such loss generally could not be
currently deducted by such Unitholder except against such Unitholder's capital
gains from other investments. In addition, such loss would be treated as a
passive activity loss. (See "Suspended Passive Activity Losses" below.)
The adjusted tax basis in the Units of a Unitholder will depend upon
individual circumstances. (See also "Partnership Allocations in Year of Sale"
below.) Each Unitholder who plans to tender hereunder should consult with the
Unitholder's own tax advisor as to the Unitholder's adjusted tax basis in the
Unitholder's Units and the resulting tax consequences of a sale.
If any portion of the amount realized by a Unitholder is attributable
to such Unitholder's share of "unrealized receivables" or "substantially
appreciated inventory items" as defined in Code section 751, a corresponding
portion of such Unitholder's gain or loss will be treated as ordinary gain or
loss. It is possible that the basis allocation rules of Code Section 751 may
result in a Unitholder's recognizing ordinary income with respect to the portion
of the Unitholder's amount realized on the sale of a Unit that is attributable
to such items while recognizing a capital loss with respect to the remainder of
the Unit.
A tax-exempt Unitholder (other than an organization described in Code
Section 501(c)(7) (social club), 501(c)(9) (voluntary employee benefit
association), 501(c)(17) (supplementary unemployment benefit trust), or
501(c)(20) (qualified group legal services plan)) should not be required to
recognize unrelated trade or business income upon the sale of its Units pursuant
to the Offer, assuming that such Unitholder does not hold its Units as a
"dealer" and has not acquired such Units with debt financed proceeds.
Partnership Allocations in Year of Sale. A tendering Unitholder will be
allocated the Unitholder's pro rata share of the annual taxable income and
losses from the Partnership with respect to the Units sold for the period
through the date of sale, even though such Unitholder will assign to the
Purchasers their rights to receive certain cash distributions with respect to
such Units. Such allocations and any Partnership distributions for such period
would affect a Unitholder's adjusted tax basis in the tendered Units and,
therefore, the amount of gain or loss recognized by the Unitholder on the sale
of the Units.
Possible Tax Termination. The Code provides that if 50% or more of the capital
and profits interests in a partnership are sold or exchanged within a single
12-month period, such partnership generally will terminate for federal income
tax purposes. It is possible that the Partnership could terminate for federal
income tax purposes as a result of consummation of the Offer. If so, the
Partnership will be treated as having made a liquidating distribution of an
undivided interest in all of its assets to the Unitholders, the partners of the
Partnership after consummation of the Offer (i.e., the nontendering Unitholders
and the Purchasers) would be treated as having recontributed their interests in
Partnership assets to the Partnership, and the capital accounts of all partners
would be restated. A Unitholder would recognize gain on the liquidating
distribution only to the extent that the amount of cash deemed distributed to
the Unitholder exceeded the Unitholder's basis in the Units. Depending on the
Unitholders' bases in their Units and the Partnership's tax basis in its
property, a tax termination
14
<PAGE>
could affect, perhaps adversely, the amount of depreciation deductions reported
by the Partnership for the period following the date of such termination. A tax
termination of the Partnership also could have the adverse effect on Unitholders
whose tax year is not the calendar year, of the inclusion of more than one year
of Partnership tax items in one tax return of such Unitholders, resulting in a
"bunching" of income. In addition, a tax termination could have the adverse
effect on non-tendering Unitholders who subsequently dispose of their Units at a
gain of requiring them to treat a greater portion of such gain as ordinary
income (due to the application of Code Section 735) than would otherwise be
required absent a tax termination of the Partnership.
Suspended "Passive Activity Losses". A Unitholder who sells all of the
Unitholder's Units would be able to deduct "suspended" passive activity losses
from the Partnership, if any, in the year of sale free of the passive activity
loss limitation. As a limited partner of the Partnership, which was engaged in
real estate activities, the ability of a Unitholder, who or which is subject to
the passive activity loss rules, to claim tax losses from the Partnership was
limited. Upon sale of all of the Unitholder's Units, such Unitholder would be
able to use any "suspended" passive activity losses first against gain, if any,
on sale of the Unitholder's Units and then against income from any other source.
Foreign Unitholders. Gain realized by a foreign Unitholder on a sale of a Unit
pursuant to the Offer will be subject to federal income tax. Under Section 1445
of the Code, the transferee of a partnership interest held by a foreign person
is generally required to deduct and withhold a tax equal to 10% of the amount
realized on the disposition. The Purchasers will withhold 10% of the amount
realized by a tendering Unitholder from the purchase price payment to be made to
such Unitholder unless the Unitholder properly completes and signs the FIRPTA
Affidavit included as part of the Letter of Transmittal certifying the
Unitholder's TIN, that such Unitholder is not a foreign person and the
Unitholder's address. Amounts withheld would be creditable against a foreign
Unitholder's federal income tax liability and, if in excess thereof, a refund
could be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service by filing a U.S. income tax
return.
Section 7. Effects of the Offer.
Limitations on Resales. The Purchasers do not believe the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement should restrict transfers of Units.
Effect on Trading Market. There is no established public trading market for the
Units and, therefore, a reduction in the number of Unitholders should not
materially further restrict the Unitholders' ability to find purchasers for
their Units on any secondary market.
Voting Power of Purchasers. Depending on the number of Units acquired by the
Purchasers pursuant to the Offer, the Purchasers may have the ability to exert
certain influence on matters subject to the vote of Unitholders, though the
maximum number of Units sought hereunder would not give the Purchasers a
controlling voting interest.
Other Potential Effects. The Units are registered under the Exchange Act,
which requires, among other things that the Partnership furnish certain
information to its Unitholders and to the Commission
15
<PAGE>
and comply with the Commission's proxy rules in connection with meetings of, and
solicitation of consents from, Unitholders. Registration and reporting
requirements could be terminated by the Partnership if the number of record
holders falls below 300, or below 500 if the Partnership's total assets are
below $10 million for three consecutive preceding fiscal years. The Partnership
reported total assets in excess of $10 million as of its most recent fiscal year
end and a total of 601 limited partners. Although it is possible that the
purchase of up to 10% of the outstanding Units pursuant to the Offer could
reduce the number of record Unit holders below 300, the Purchasers believe the
possibility is extremely remote. The Partnership has reported that no single
holder currently beneficially owns 5% or more of the outstanding Units and,
based on the original distribution of the Units, the Purchasers believe the
Units are widely held in small individual positions. Accordingly, acquisition of
Units by the Purchasers is unlikely to leave a remaining group of Unit holders
of fewer than 300, and the Purchasers do not believe that the purchase of Units
pursuant to the Offer will result in the Units becoming eligible for
deregistration under the Exchange Act.
Section 8. Future Plans. Following the completion of the Offer, the Purchasers,
or their affiliates, may acquire additional Units. Any such acquisitions may be
made through private purchases, one or more future tender offers or by any other
means deemed advisable or appropriate. Any such acquisitions may be at a
consideration higher or lower than the consideration to be paid for the Units
purchased pursuant to the Offer.
The Purchasers are acquiring the Units pursuant to the Offer solely for
investment purposes. The Purchasers have no present intention to seek control of
the Partnership or to change the management or operations of the Partnership.
The Purchasers do not have any present intention to seek or cause a liquidation
of the Partnership. The Purchasers nevertheless reserve the right, at an
appropriate time, to exercise their rights as limited partners to vote on
matters subject to a limited partner vote, including, but not limited to, any
vote to cause the sale of the Partnership's properties and the liquidation and
dissolution of the Partnership.
Section 9. The Business of the Partnership. Information included herein
concerning the Partnership is derived from the Partnership's publicly-filed
reports. All information deemed by the Partnership to be material to Unit
holders concerning the Partnership, its assets, operations and management is
contained in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such reports and
filings are available on the Commission's EDGAR system, at its internet website
at www.sec.gov, and are available for inspection at the Commission's principal
office in Washington, D.C. and at its regional offices in New York, New York and
Chicago, Illinois. The Purchasers expressly disclaim any responsibility for the
information included in such reports and extracted in this discussion. The
Purchasers will, upon request, provide Unit holders with copies of the
Partnership's most recent annual and quarterly reports obtained by the
Purchasers from the EDGAR system.
Section 10. Conflicts of Interest. The Depositary is affiliated with certain
Purchasers. Therefore, by virtue of this affiliation, the Depositary may have
inherent conflicts of interest in acting as Depositary for the Offer. The
Depositary's role is administrative only, and any conflict of interest should
not be deemed material to Unit holders.

Section 11. Certain Information Concerning the Purchasers. The Purchasers
are ACCELERATED HIGH YIELD PENSION INVESTORS, L.P.; ACCELERATED HIGH YIELD
INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS, L.P.; ACCELERATED HIGH YIELD INSTITUTIONAL FUND, L.P.;
MACKENZIE PATTERSON VALUE FUND 5,LLC; MACKENZIE PATTERSON SPECIAL FUND, L.P. .
For information concerning the Purchasers and their respective principals,
please refer to Schedule I attached hereto. The principal business of each of
the entity Purchasers is investment in securities, particularly real
estate-based securities. The principal business address of the Purchasers is
1640 School Street, Moraga, California 94556.
The Purchasers have made binding commitments to contribute and have
available sufficient amounts of liquid capital necessary to fund the acquisition
of all Units subject to the Offer, the expenses to be incurred in connection
with the Offer, and all other anticipated costs of the Purchasers. The
Purchasers are not public companies and have not prepared audited financial
statements. The Purchasers, their general partners, owners and members have an
aggregate net worth in excess of $15 million, including net liquid assets of
more than $5 million.
An affiliate of certain of the Purchasers holds a total of five Units,
purchased in May 1997 for a total acquisition cost (including the purchase price
and related costs and fees) of $425 per Unit. Other than the foregoing, neither
the Purchasers nor any of their affiliates owns any Units.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, (i) neither the Purchasers nor,
to the best knowledge of the Purchasers, the persons listed on Schedule I nor
any affiliate of the Purchasers beneficially owns or has a right to acquire any
Units, (ii) neither the Purchasers nor, to the best knowledge of the Purchasers,
the persons listed on Schedule I nor any affiliate of the Purchasers, or any
director, executive officer or subsidiary of any of the foregoing has effected
any transaction in the Units within the past 60 days, (iii) neither the
Purchasers nor, to the best knowledge of the Purchasers, the persons listed on
Schedule I nor any affiliate of the Purchasers has any contract, arrangement,
understanding or relationship with any other person with respect to any
securities of the Partnership, including but not limited to, contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships concerning the transfer or voting
thereof, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees
of loans, guarantees against loss or the giving or withholding of proxies,
consents or authorizations, (iv) there have been no transactions or business
relationships which would be required to be disclosed under the rules and
regulations of the Commission between any of the Purchasers or, to the best
knowledge of the Purchasers, the persons listed on Schedule I, or any affiliate
of the Purchasers on the one hand, and the Partnership or its affiliates, on the
other hand, and (v) there have been no contracts, negotiations or transactions
between the Purchasers, or to the best knowledge of the Purchasers any affiliate
of the Purchasers on the one hand, the persons listed on Schedule I, and the
Partnership or its affiliates, on the other hand, concerning a merger,
consolidation or acquisition, tender offer or other acquisition of securities,
an election of directors or a sale or other transfer of a material amount of
assets.
Section 12. Source of Funds. The Purchasers expect that approximately
$372,400 would be required to purchase 784 Units, if tendered, and an additional
$15,000 may be required to pay related fees and expenses. The Purchasers
anticipate funding all of the purchase price and related expenses
17
<PAGE>
through their existing liquid capital reserves.
Section 13. Conditions of the Offer. Notwithstanding any other term of the
Offer, the Purchasers shall not be required to accept for payment or to pay for
any Units tendered if all authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of, or
declarations or filings with, or expirations of waiting periods imposed by, any
court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of the Purchasers and
may be asserted by the Purchasers regardless of the circumstances giving rise to
such conditions or may be waived by the Purchasers in whole or in part at any
time and from time to time in their sole discretion. Any termination by the
Purchasers concerning the events described above will be final and binding upon
all parties.
Section 14. Certain Legal Matters.
General. Except as set forth in this Section 14, the Purchasers are not aware of
any filings, approvals or other actions by any domestic or foreign governmental
or administrative agency that would be required prior to the acquisition of
Units by the Purchasers pursuant to the Offer. Should any such approval or other
action be required, it is the Purchasers' present intention that such additional
approval or action would be sought. While there is no present intent to delay
the purchase of Units tendered pursuant to the Offer pending receipt of any such
additional approval or the taking of any such action, there can be no assurance
that any such additional approval or action, if needed, would be obtained
without substantial conditions or that adverse consequences might not result to
the Partnership's business, or that certain parts of the Partnership's business
might not have to be disposed of or held separate or other substantial
conditions complied with in order to obtain such approval or action, any of
which could cause the Purchasers to elect to terminate the Offer without
purchasing Units thereunder. The Purchasers' obligation to purchase and pay for
Units is subject to certain conditions, including conditions related to the
legal matters discussed in this Section 14.
Antitrust. The Purchasers do not believe that the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the acquisition
of Units pursuant to the Offer.
Margin Requirements. The Units are not "margin securities" under the regulations
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and, accordingly, such
regulations are not applicable to the Offer.
19
<PAGE>
State Takeover Laws. A number of states have adopted anti-takeover laws which
purport, to varying degrees, to be applicable to attempts to acquire securities
of corporations which are incorporated in such states or which have substantial
assets, security holders, principal executive offices or principal places of
business therein. These laws are directed at the acquisition of corporations and
not partnerships. The Purchasers, therefore, do not believe that any
anti-takeover laws apply to the transactions contemplated by the Offer.
Although the Purchasers have not attempted to comply with any state
anti-takeover statutes in connection with the Offer, the Purchasers reserve the
right to challenge the validity or applicability of any state law allegedly
applicable to the Offer and nothing in this Offer nor any action taken in
connection herewith is intended as a waiver of such right. If any state
anti-takeover statute is applicable to the Offer, the Purchasers might be unable
to accept for payment or purchase Units tendered pursuant to the Offer or be
delayed in continuing or consummating the Offer. In such case, the Purchasers
may not be obligated to accept for purchase or pay for any Units tendered.
Section 15. Fees and Expenses. The Purchasers have retained MacKenzie Patterson,
Inc., an affiliate of certain Purchasers, to act as Depositary in connection
with the Offer. The Purchasers will pay the Depositary reasonable and customary
compensation for its services in connection with the Offer, plus reimbursement
for out-of-pocket expenses, and will indemnify the Depositary against certain
liabilities and expenses in connection therewith, including liabilities under
the federal securities laws. The Purchasers will also pay all costs and expenses
of printing, publication and mailing of the Offer and all costs of transfer.
Section 16. Miscellaneous. THE OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE TO (NOR WILL TENDERS BE
ACCEPTED FROM OR ON BEHALF OF) UNITHOLDERS IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE
MAKING OF THE OFFER OR THE ACCEPTANCE THEREOF WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION. THE PURCHASERS ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY JURISDICTION
WITHIN THE UNITED STATES IN WHICH THE MAKING OF THE OFFER OR THE ACCEPTANCE
THEREOF WOULD BE ILLEGAL.
No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any
representation on behalf of the Purchasers not contained herein or in the Letter
of Transmittal and, if given or made, such information or representation must
not be relied upon as having been authorized.
