                              PART I



ITEM 1.     BUSINESS.



PaineWebber R&D Partners II, L.P. (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") is a
Delaware limited partnership that commenced operations on September 30, 1987.
PWDC Holding Company (the "Manager") is the general partner of PaineWebber
Technologies II, L.P. (the "General Partner"), which is the general partner of
the Partnership. PWDC Holding Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Paine
Webber Development Corporation ("PWDC"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Paine Webber Group Inc. ("PWG"). The principal objective of the Partnership is
to provide long-term capital appreciation to investors through investing in the
development and commercialization of new products (the "Projects") with
technology companies ("Sponsor Companies") which are expected to address
significant market opportunities. The Partnership will terminate on December 31,
2012, unless its term is extended or reduced by the General Partner.




The Partnership has completely funded its ten Projects at an aggregate
investment of $65.2 million. As of December 31, 1996, three of the ten Projects
with Centocor, Inc., Genzyme Corporation and Amgen Boulder, Inc. (formerly,
Synergen, Inc.) are currently ongoing programs. The remaining seven Projects
have either terminated or are near termination. (See Exhibit B, the Annual
Letter to the Limited Partners, for a detailed discussion of the current status
of the Partnership's active Projects.) In addition to investments in Projects,
as of December 31, 1996, the Partnership owned warrants and marketable
securities as described in Notes 3 and 5 of the "Notes to the Financial
Statements" on pages F-9 through F-15 included in this filing on Form 10-K.




At a meeting of the Board of Directors of PWDC (the "Board") in January 1997,
the Board adopted the Policy Regarding Requests for Partner Lists attached as
Exhibit C.




PARTNERSHIP MANAGEMENT



The Partnership has contracted with the Manager, pursuant to a management
agreement (the "Management Contract"), responsibility for management and
administrative services necessary for the operation of the Partnership. The
Manager meets periodically with an Advisory Board that acts as special advisor
to the Manager in the management of the Partnership's Projects (see Exhibit A
for a brief biography of the Advisory Board Members). Fees and expenses of the
Advisory Board are paid for by PWDC.




Under the Management Contract, the Manager is entitled to receive an annual
management fee for management and administrative services provided to the
Partnership. The management fee is equal to 2% of the aggregate gross proceeds
received by the Partnership, reduced by the Partnership's capital commitments in
Projects that have been concluded, and the final proceeds of which, if any, have
been distributed to the General Partner and limited partners of the Partnership
(the "Limited Partners"; with the General Partner, the "Partners"). As of July
1, 1995, the Manager had eliminated the management fee charged on all but one
Project. As of July 1, 1996, the Manager elected to discontinue the management
fee charged on this final Project.

DISTRIBUTIONS


All distributions to the Partners of the Partnership have been made pro rata in
accordance with their respective net capital contributions. The following table
sets forth the proportion of each distribution to be received by the Limited
Partners and the General Partner, respectively:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                                       Limited       General
                                                                       Partners      Partner

I.   Until the value of the aggregate distributions for each              99%            1%
     limited  partnership unit ("Unit") equals $10,000 plus
     simple interest on such amount accrued at 7% per annum for each
     Unit sold at the Initial Closing (6% per annum for each subsequent
     Unit sold up to the 5,000th Unit and 5% per annum for each Unit
     sold thereafter) ("Contribution Payout")



II.  After Contribution Payout and until the value of the                 80%            20%
     aggregate distributions for each Unit equals $50,000
     ("Final Payout")



III. After Final Payout                                                   75%            25%

</TABLE>

At December 31, 1996, the Partnership has made cash and security distributions,
as valued on the date of distribution, since inception of $1,866 and $7,206 per
Unit, respectively.




OTHER

At December 31, 1996, the Partnership and the General Partner had no employees,
and PWDC Holding Company, the general partner of the General Partner, had no
employees other than its executive officers (see Item 10. Directors and
Executive Officers of the Registrant). The Partnership is engaged in one primary
business segment, the management of investments in technology products and
companies.




ITEM 2.     PROPERTIES.

The Partnership does not own or lease any office, manufacturing or laboratory
facilities.

 
                                           

ITEM 3.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

ACTION AGAINST CENTOCOR, INC.

In July 1995, the Partnership commenced an action in the Chancery Court of
Delaware (the "Court") against Centocor, Inc. ("Centocor") and Centocor
Development Corporation III ("CDC III"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Centocor,
arising out of Centocor's July 1992 transaction with Eli Lilly & Company
("Lilly").


In 1987 and 1988, the Partnership and others purchased limited partnership
interests in Centocor Partners III, L.P. ("CP III"), a limited partnership of
which CDC III is the general partner, which was established to develop and sell
CentoRx, a Centocor drug now known as ReoPro.


<PAGE>







(ITEM 3 CONTINUED)



In July 1992, Centocor entered into a set of agreements with Lilly for the
stated purposes of Lilly making an equity investment in Centocor and furthering
the testing and eventual distribution of Centoxin, another Centocor drug.
Pursuant to those agreements, Lilly paid Centocor a total of $100 million and
Centocor conveyed to Lilly, among other things, two million shares of Centocor
common stock, exclusive marketing rights to Centoxin and an option to acquire
exclusive marketing rights to ReoPro.



The Partnership's complaint alleges, among other things that: at least $25
million of the $100 million paid by Lilly represents profits from the sale of
ReoPro that Centocor is required to share with CP III; and because of the Lilly
transaction, Centocor is required to increase the percentages of profits and
revenues from ReoPro that it pays to CP III investors. Centocor, however, has
taken the position that only $500,000 of the $100 million must be shared with CP
III and that Centocor has no obligation to increase the percentages of ReoPro
profits and revenues that it pays to CP III investors. The Partnership is
seeking to proceed on behalf of CP III. The complaint seeks to require Centocor
and CDC III to pay damages to CP III and to increase the percentages of future
ReoPro profits and revenues that Centocor must pay to CP III and its investors.



Centocor has answered the Partnership's complaint, as well as a similar
complaint filed by John E. Abdo, another limited partner of CP III, denying the
material allegations of those complaints and asserting purported affirmative
defenses, cross-claims against CP III, and third-party claims against PWG, PWDC
and PaineWebber Incorporated ("PWI").



In April 1996, Mr. Abdo moved to amend his complaint to assert claims on behalf
of CP III against one of PWDC's two nominees of the CDC III Board of Directors.
In July 1996, Mr. Abdo moved to amend his complaint to assert claims on behalf
of CP III against a former director of CDC III nominated by PWDC. In July 1996,
counsel chosen by Centocor to represent CP III moved to disqualify the
Partnership from serving as a plaintiff in this action, alleging that Mr. Abdo
should be the sole plaintiff because the Partnership has conflicts of interest
with CP III and its other limited partners, including conflicts arising out of
the alleged claims against the PWDC nominees. Mr. Abdo and Centocor also moved
to disqualify the Partnership. In January 1997, the Court granted Mr. Abdo's
motion to amend his complaint to assert claims against the PWDC nominees. The
Court has not ruled on the motions to disqualify.



PWDC has been advancing, and may continue to advance, the funds necessary to pay
the Partnership's legal fees and expenses relating to this litigation. In the 
event of a recovery on behalf of CP III, the Court may award legal fees and 
expenses to the Partnership's counsel, and/or Mr. Abdo's counsel, to be paid out
of the CP III recovery. It is anticipated that: the net proceeds of any recovery
will be distributed to the limited partners of CP III, including the 
Partnership, on a pro rata basis; the Partnership and/or its counsel will 
reimburse PWDC; and any remaining Partnership proceeds will be distributed to 
the Partners of the Partnership on a pro rata basis.



ACTION AGAINST AMGEN BOULDER, INC.



In 1991, Synergen, Inc. (now Amgen Boulder, Inc.) formed Synergen Clinical 
Partners, L.P. ("SCP") to fund the research and development of Interleukin-
Receptor Antagonist ("IL-lra") as a potential treatment of various 
inflammatory diseases, with an emphasis on sepsis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The Partnership owns approximately 11% of the Class A limited partnership 
interests of SCP.  Synergen, Inc. terminated its research and development 
program for sepsis in August 1994, and, in December 1994, Synergen, Inc. 
was acquired by Amgen Inc.  Research into the potential use of IL-lra for 
rheumatoid arthritis is ongoing.



 
<PAGE>                                           



(ITEM 3 CONTINUED)



In February 1995, a Class A limited partner commenced an action against the
general partner of SCP and others. Johnson v. Amgen Boulder, Inc., No. C95-0204R
(W.D. Wash.). The complaint alleged that the defendants caused or permitted the
release of misleading statements regarding the potential market for IL-lra,
preclinical and clinical trial results, and the possibility of IL-lra becoming
licensed for sale either in the United States or Europe. The complaint sought
damages on behalf of a class including limited partners of SCP and limited
partners of the Partnership.



In February 1997, the parties announced a proposed settlement of the Johnson
action, pursuant to which the defendants would pay $14,550,000, less attorney's
fees and costs, to class members, and the limited partners' interests in SCP
would be terminated. The settlement is conditioned on, among other things, the
approval of two-thirds of the current limited partnership interests in SCP and
final court approval. The General Partner has not yet determined whether to vote
the Partnership's interests in favor of the settlement. The court has scheduled
a hearing on May 23, 1997, to determine whether the proposed settlement is fair,
reasonable and adequate, and whether class counsel's petition for attorney's
fees and expenses should be granted.


IN RE: PAINEWEBBER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP LITIGATION

      As previously disclosed on the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995, PaineWebber Technologies II, L.P., the General Partner of the
Partnership, was named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit against PWI and
a number of its affiliates relating to PWI's sale of 70 direct investment
offerings, including the offering of interests in the Partnership. In January
1996, PWI signed a memorandum of understanding with the plaintiffs in the class
action outlining the terms under which the parties agreed to settle the case. A
definitive settlement agreement and plan of allocation was signed in July 1996
and submitted to the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York (the "US Court") for its approval. Under that settlement, PWI agreed to
pay the class $125 million (which had previously been deposited in escrow with
the US Court when the memorandum of understanding was signed) and certain
additional consideration. The additional consideration included the assignment
of fees and income attributable to the general partnership interest in the
Partnership as well as guarantees of certain minimum returns to class members.
In March 1997, the US Court approved the settlement as fair and reasonable.


In February 1996, approximately 150 plaintiffs filed an action entitled ABBATE
V. PAINEWEBBER INC. in Sacramento, California Superior Court against PWI and
various affiliated entities, including the General Partner of the Partnership,
concerning the plaintiffs' purchases of various limited partnership interests.
The complaint alleges, among other things, that PWI and its related entities
committed fraud and misrepresentation and breached fiduciary duties allegedly
owed to the plaintiffs by selling or promoting limited partnership investments
that were unsuitable for the plaintiffs and by overstating the benefits,
understating the risks and failing to state material facts concerning the
investments. The complaint seeks compensatory damages of $15 million plus
punitive damages. In June 1996, additional complaints similar to the ABBATE
action, but involving fewer plaintiffs, were filed in Sacramento, San Diego and
Arizona. In September 1996, the California Superior Court dismissed many of the
ABBATE plaintiffs' claims as barred by the applicable statutes of limitation.
Certain of the other complaints were also dismissed with prejudice while others
remained pending. In March 1997, all of these actions were settled. The
settlement had no effect on the Partnership or the General Partner.






ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

       None.

                                  PART II


ITEM 5.     MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER 
            MATTERS.


     There is no existing public market for the Units, and no such market is
expected to develop. Effective December 10, 1997, the General Partner
discontinued the right of Limited Partners to transfer Units, except for
transfers that may occur as a result of the laws of descent and distribution or
by operation of law. As of December 31, 1996, there were 6,341 Limited Partners.


     The Partnership distributes to its Partners, when available, the net
proceeds from royalty distributions, interest payments on portfolio securities,
net proceeds from dispositions of portfolio securities and any other cash in
excess of amounts that are necessary for the operation of the Partnership's
business. The Partnership's policy has been to distribute common stock (or cash
from the sale of common stock) to the Partners once the restriction period on
saleability has lapsed. The Partnership's cash distributions to its Partners
totaled $2,341,597 ($281 per Unit; $21,380 to the general partnership interest)
for the year ended December 31, 1996. For the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1994, cash distributions to the Partners were $1,084,252 ($130 per Unit; $10,842
to the general partnership interest) and $417,020 ($50 per Unit; $4,170 to the
general partnership interest), respectively. For the year ended December 31,
1995, the Partnership distributed 1,518,074 shares of Cygnus, Inc. ("Cygnus")
common stock (182 shares per Unit; 15,300 shares to the general partnership
interest) valued at $12,903,629 ($1,547 per Unit; $130,050 to the general
partnership interest) on the date of distribution. For the year ended December
31, 1994, the Partnership distributed 367,043 shares of Alkermes, Inc.
("Alkermes") common stock (44 shares per Unit: 3,670 shares to the general
partnership interest) valued at $1,985,385 ($238 per Unit; $19,854 to the
general partnership interest) on the dates of distribution.



ITEM 6.     SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.


See the "Selected Financial Data (Unaudited)" on Page F-2 in this filing.



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


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Partners' capital at December 31, 1996 was $3.0 million compared to $5.1 million
at December 31, 1995, a decrease of $2.1 million. The decrease in partners'
capital was a result of net income from operations of $0.2 million (as discussed
in Results of Operations below) offset by cash distributions to the Partners of
$2.3 million.


The Partnership's funds are invested in marketable securities until cash is
needed to pay for the ongoing management and administrative expenses of the
Partnership. Liquid assets at December 31, 1996 were $0.9 million compared to
$1.3 million at December 31, 1995, a decrease of $0.4 million. The decrease in
liquid assets is primarily due to cash distributions to Partners of $2.3 million
and the payment of management fees and administrative costs of $0.4 million
offset by the net proceeds upon the sale of product development projects of $0.5
million, distributions received from product development projects of $1.1
million and net proceeds from the sale of marketable securities and investments
of $0.7 million. The balance of working capital will be used for the payment of
administrative costs related to the Partnership's business.

                                          


<PAGE>


(ITEM 7 CONTINUED)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995:



Net income for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $0.2 million and
$6.4 million, respectively. The decrease of $6.2 million resulted from a
decrease in revenues of $6.5 million offset by a decrease in expenses of $0.3
million.



Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996 were $0.6 million as compared to
$7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. The decrease of $6.5 million
resulted primarily from an increase in loss upon the sale of investments and
marketable securities of $0.4 million and decreases in unrealized appreciation
of marketable securities and investments of $5.6 million and gain on
distribution of marketable securities and investments of $2.6 million (see
Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the year
ended December 31, 1994) offset by increases in gain from the sale of product
development projects of $0.5 million and income from product development
projects of $1.5 million. During 1996, the Partnership sold its equity
investments in Cygnus and Alkermes and realized an aggregate loss of $0.4
million. The Partnership recognized unrealized depreciation in 1996 of $1.6
million resulting primarily from a decrease of $2.0 million in the intrinsic
value of its warrant to purchase 255,000 shares of Cygnus stock offset by the
recording of its warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of OEC Medical Systems, Inc.
("OEC") stock at $0.5 million. The market value of Cygnus stock decreased from
$5.7 million ($22.375 per share) at December 31, 1995 to $3.7 million ($14.50
per share) at December 31, 1996. At December 31, 1996, the market value of OEC
stock of $15.00 per share exceeded the exercise price of the warrant of $12.70
per share. The Partnership recorded its investment in the OEC warrant at its
intrinsic value of $0.5 million. In 1995, the Partnership recognized unrealized
appreciation of marketable securities and investments of $4.0 million (see
Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the year
ended December 31, 1994). On July 2, 1996, the Partnership and FOCUS Surgery,
Inc. ("FOCUS") entered into a Letter Agreement whereby the Partnership consented
to the sale by FOCUS of the technology developed under the product development
agreement between FOCUS and the Partnership. The Partnership received $0.5
million and recognized a gain of this amount. The Partnership recognized income
from product development projects of $1.9 million and $0.4 million,
respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.



Expenses for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $0.4 million and
$0.7 million, respectively. The decrease is a result primarily of the Manager's
decision to discontinue charging the Partnership a management fee effective July
1, 1996.



YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994:



Net income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $6.4 million compared to
$9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. The decrease of $3.0 million
was due to a decrease in revenues of $3.6 million, the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting method of $0.4 million, and a decline in expenses of $1.0
million.



The Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity 
Securities" ("Statement No. 115") for investments held as of or acquired 
after January 1, 1994.  The cumulative effect of adopting Statement No. 115 
as of January 1, 1994, was to increase net income for the year ended 
December 31, 1994, by $0.4 million due to the difference between the carrying
value and market value of a restricted security position as of 
December 31, 1993.



                                          


<PAGE>






(ITEM 7 CONTINUED)



Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $7.1 million compared to
$10.7 million for the same period in 1994. The decrease of $3.6 million was
primarily due to increases in 1995 in unrealized appreciation of investments and
marketable securities of $2.7 million and in realized gains on distribution of
investments and marketable securities of $3.2 million offset by the recognition
of gains in 1994 on the sale of a Project of $8.9 million and the sale of a
warrant of $0.7 million. The Partnership recognized unrealized appreciation of
marketable securities and investments of $4.0 million and $1.3 million for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Unrealized appreciation
for 1995 was attributable primarily to the Partnership's investment in a warrant
to purchase 300,000 shares of Cygnus. As of December 31, 1995, the market value
of Cygnus stock of $22.375 per share exceeded the exercise price of the warrant
of $9.90 per share. Accordingly, the Partnership recorded the warrant at its
intrinsic value of $3.8 million and recognized unrealized appreciation of this
amount. In May 1995 the Partnership distributed 1,518,074 shares of Cygnus
common stock to its Partners. The market value of the shares on the date of
distribution was $12.9 million ($8.50 per share) as compared to the carrying
value at December 31, 1994, of $10.3 million ($6.75 per share). Accordingly, the
Partnership recognized a gain of $2.6 million upon the distribution. In 1994,
the Partnership distributed 367,043 shares of Alkermes common stock to its
Partners with an aggregate carrying value of $2.6 million ($7.00 per share). The
market value on the dates of distribution was $2.0 million. The Partnership
recognized a realized loss of $0.6 million in 1994 relating to the distribution
of Alkermes common stock to its Partners. In December 1994, the Partnership and
Cygnus entered into the GMS Technology Purchase Agreement whereby Cygnus
purchased from the Partnership the rights to glucose monitoring system
technology ("GMS") developed under research and development agreements between
Cygnus and the Partnership. In exchange for the technology rights, the
Partnership received Cygnus common stock with a market value as of the date of
sale aggregating $8.9 million and recognized a gain upon the sale of this
amount. Also, in 1994, the Partnership sold its warrant to purchase 100,000
shares of Roger Corporation stock with a carrying value of $0 for $0.7 million.



Expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $0.7 million compared to $1.7
million for the year ended December 31, 1994. The decrease of $1.0 million is
attributable to a decrease in expenditures under product development projects of
$0.8 million and a decrease of $0.2 million in management fees and
administrative costs. During 1994 the Partnership made product development
expenditures to Cygnus in the amount of $1.3 million and SCP in the amount of
$0.7 million. The Partnership had accrued payments of $0.6 million to Cygnus and
$0.7 million to SCP at December 31, 1993. As of January 1, 1995, all of the
Partnership's Projects were fully funded. Management fees decreased as a result
of the Manager's decision to discontinue the management fee charged on three
additional Projects in 1995.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.   ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

     PaineWebber R&D Partners II, L.P. ("the Partnership") is a Delaware limited
partnership  that  commenced  operations  on September  30, 1987 with a total of
$72.0 million available for investment.  PWDC Holding Company (the "Manager") is
the  general  partner  of  PaineWebber   Technologies  II,  L.P.  (the  "General
Partner"), which is the general partner of the Partnership. PWDC Holding Company
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Paine Webber Development  Corporation  ("PWDC"),
an indirect,  wholly owned  subsidiary of Paine Webber Group Inc.  ("PWG").  The
Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2012,  unless its term is extended or
reduced by the General Partner.

     The principal  objective of the Partnership is to provide long-term capital
appreciation   to   investors   through   investing  in  the   development   and
commercialization   of  new  products  with   technology   companies   ("Sponsor
Companies"),  which are expected to address  significant  market  opportunities.
Once the product development phase was completed,  the Sponsor Companies had the
option to license and  commercialize  the  products  resulting  from the product
development project, and the Partnership had the right to receive payments based
upon the sale of such products.  In connection with product development projects
(the  "Projects"),  the  Partnership  sought to obtain  warrants to purchase the
common stock of Sponsor Companies.  These warrants have the potential to provide
additional  capital  appreciation  to the  Partnership  which  is  not  directly
dependent  upon the  outcome  of the  Projects  (see Note 5). In  addition,  the
Partnership  invested  as a  limited  partner  in  product  development  limited
partnerships.  Such partnerships  were formed to develop specific,  new products
through  contracts with Sponsor  Companies.  The Sponsor  Companies  conduct the
Projects and affiliates of the Sponsor  Companies  serve as general  partners of
the partnerships.  As a result of restructuring  some of the original  Projects,
the  Partnership  also obtained  restricted  common stock in some of the Sponsor
Companies.  As such, the  Partnership is engaged in diverse  Projects  including
product  development   contracts,   participation   in  other  partnerships  and
investments in securities of the Sponsor Companies.

     All  distributions to the limited partners of the Partnership (the "Limited
Partners")  and the General  Partner  (collectively,  the  "Partners")  from the
Partnership  have been made pro rata in  accordance  with their  respective  net
capital  contributions.  The following  table sets forth the  proportion of each
distribution  to be received by the Limited  Partners  and the General  Partner,
respectively:

     For  the  year  ended  December  31,  1996,  the   Partnership   made  cash
distributions  totaling  $2,341,597  ($281  per  Unit;  $21,380  to the  General
Partner).  At December  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  has made cash and security
distributions, as valued on the date of distribution,  since inception of $1,866
and $7,206 per Unit, respectively.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting  principles  which require  management to make certain  estimates and
assumptions  that affect the amounts  reported in the financial  statements  and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     The Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards  No.  115,  "Accounting  for  Certain  Investments  in Debt and Equity
Securities"  ("Statement No. 115"), for investments held as of or acquired after
January 1, 1994. In accordance  with Statement No. 115,  prior period  financial
statements  have not been restated to reflect the change in  accounting  method.
The cumulative  effect of adopting  Statement No. 115 as of January 1, 1994, was
to increase  net income for the year ended  December  31,  1994,  by $366,334 or
$43.92 per Unit.  Prior to the  adoption of Statement  No. 115, the  Partnership
accounted for its  Investments  in restricted  common stock  (regardless  of the
restriction period) at the lower of cost or fair value.

     Marketable securities consist of a money market fund and common stock which
are recorded at market value.  Marketable  securities  are not  considered  cash
equivalents for the Statements of Cash Flows.

     Realized  and  unrealized  gains or losses  are  determined  on a  specific
identification  method and are reflected in the Statements of Operations  during
the period in which the change in value occurs.

     The Partnership invested in Projects,  further described in Note 5, through
one of the following two vehicles:

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(NOTE 2 CONTINUED)

o    Product  Development  Contracts  The  Partnership  paid  amounts to Sponsor
     Companies under product development  contracts.  Such amounts were expensed
     by the Partnership when incurred by the Sponsor Companies.  Income from the
     Sponsor  Companies is reflected in the  Statements  of  Operations  for the
     period in which the income is earned.

o    Product Development Limited Partnerships The Partnership  participates as a
     limited  partner  in product  development  limited  partnerships  formed to
     develop specific products.  Such partnerships  expensed product development
     costs when incurred.  

     The Partnership carries warrants at a zero value in cases where the Sponsor
Company's stock is not publicly traded or the exercise period has not been
attained. To the extent that the Partnership's warrants are currently
exercisable and the Sponsor Company's stock is publicly traded, the warrants are
carried at intrinsic value (the excess of market price per share over the
exercise price per share), which approximates fair value.

     Certain  reclassifications  have been made in prior year amounts to conform
to current year presentations.

distribution was $12,903,629 ($8.50 per share). The carrying value of the shares
distributed was $10,246,999 ($6.75 per share) as of December 31, 1994.
Accordingly, the Partnership recognized a realized gain upon the distribution of
$2,656,630 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The remaining 11,867 shares of
Cygnus common stock were held as marketable securities and sold in 1996.

     In 1994,  the  Partnership  distributed  367,043  shares of Alkermes to its
Partners with an aggregate  market value of on the date of the  distribution  of
$1,985,384. The carrying value as of December 31, 1993 was $2,569,301 ($7.00 per
share)  and  ,  accordingly,   the  Partnership   recognized  a  loss  upon  the
distribution of $583,917.



4.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The  Manager   received  an  annual   management  fee  for  management  and
administrative  services  provided to the  Partnership.  The  management fee was
payable  quarterly in advance and was adjusted annually on the first day of each
fiscal year in an amount  proportionate to the increase in the prior year in the
Consumer Price Index  published by the United States  Department of Labor. As of
July 1, 1995,  the Manager had  eliminated the management fee charged on all but
one Project.  Commencing  July 1, 1996, the Manager  elected to discontinue  the
management  fee charged on this final Project.  The management  fees paid by the
Partnership  to the Manager were  $137,010,  $347,070 and $618,795 for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     The money  market  fund  invested  in by the  Partnership  is managed by an
affiliate of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PWI").

     PWDC and PWI,  and its  affiliates,  have  acted in an  investment  banking
capacity  for  several  of the  Sponsor  Companies.  In  addition,  PWDC and its
affiliates  have  direct  limited  partnership  interests  in some  of the  same
Projects as the Partnership.


5.  PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

     The  Partnership  entered  into nine  Projects  (Cadre  Technologies  Inc.;
Centocor  Partners III, L.P.;  Compression  Labs,  Incorporated;  Cygnus;  FOCUS
Surgery Inc.  (formerly  Focal Surgery,  Inc.  (successor to Diasonics,  Inc.));
Genentech Clinical Partners IV, L.P.; Genzyme Development Partners, L.P.; Rogers
Corporation;  and Synergen Clinical Partners, L.P) which have been fully funded.
In addition, the Partnership purchased $5.9 million of common stock of Alkermes,
Inc. which was distributed to its Partners in 1993 and 1994.

     On January 31, 1996,  Genzyme  Corporation  ("Genzyme")  made an offer (the
"Offer") to the general partner of Genzyme  Development  Partners,  L.P. ("GDP")
(of which the Partnership  owns a limited  partnership  interest) to acquire the
assets of GDP in exchange  for common  shares of Genzyme.  The Offer was made in
lieu of Genzyme's existing option to purchase the outstanding partnership
interests in GDP for a lump-sum cash payment and certain future royalty
payments. On May 6, 1996, Genzyme withdrew its Offer to purchase the assets of
GDP.

     On July 2, 1996, the Partnership and FOCUS Surgery,  Inc. ("FOCUS") entered
into a Letter Agreement  whereby the Partnership  consented to the sale by FOCUS
to Takai  Hospital  Supply Co. of the  technology  developed  under the  product
development  agreement  between FOCUS and the Partnership  free and clear of the
Partnership's  interests therein. In exchange, the Partnership received $562,000
and recognized a gain upon the sale of the technology for this amount.

(NOTE 5 CONTINUED)

On August 20, 1996, the Partnership terminated the product development program
with Compression Labs Incorporated.

If the Projects produce any product for commercial sale, the Sponsor Companies
have the option to enter into joint ventures or royalty agreements with the
Partnership to manufacture and market the products developed. In addition, the
Sponsor Companies have the option to purchase the Partnership's interest in the
technology. In consideration for such purchase options, the Partnership has
received warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Sponsor Companies.
At December 31, 1996, the market prices per common share of Cygnus and OEC
exceeded the exercise prices per share of the warrants and, accordingly, the
Partnership recorded these warrants as investments with carrying values equal to
the intrinsic values which approximate fair value (see Note 3). At December 31,
1996, the Partnership owned the following warrants:

        result of the merger, the Partnership's warrant to purchase 625,000
        common shares of Cadre at an exercise price of $5.00 per share converted
        into a warrant to purchase 193,000 common shares of Cayenne.

        under which  Diasonics,  Inc. was divided into three  separate  publicly
        traded companies: Diasonics Ultrasound, Inc., FOCUS Surgery Inc. and OEC
        Medical Systems, Inc. The Partnership's warrant is to purchase the stock
        of OEC Medical Systems, Inc.

In October 1994, the Partnership sold its warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of
common stock of Rogers Corporation for $723,900 and realized a gain upon the
sale of this amount.


6.  INCOME TAXES

The Partnership is not subject to federal, state or local income taxes.
Accordingly, the individual Partners are required to report their distributive
shares of realized income and loss on their individual federal and state income
tax returns.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



7.  LEGAL PROCEEDING

     On July 12, 1995,  the  Partnership  commenced a derivative  action against
Centocor and Centocor  Development  Corporation  III ("CDC III") in the Chancery
Court of Delaware (the "Court") arising from certain  agreements entered into by
Centocor  and Eli Lilly & Company  ("Lilly")  in July  1992.  The  Partnership's
complaint  alleges,  among other things  that:  at least $25 million of the $100
million paid by Lilly to Centocor  represents profits from the sale of ReoPro, a
Centocor  drug,  that Centocor is required to share with Centocor  Partners III,
L.P. ("CP III"); and because of the Lilly  transaction,  Centocor is required to
increase the  percentages of profits and revenues from ReoPro that it pays to CP
III investors.  Centocor,  however, has taken the position that only $500,000 of
the $100 million must be shared with CP III and that  Centocor has no obligation
to increase the  percentages  of ReoPro  profits and revenues that it pays to CP
III  investors.  The  Partnership is seeking to proceed on behalf of CP III. The
complaint seeks to require  Centocor and CDC III to pay damages to CP III and to
increase the  percentages  of future  ReoPro  profits and revenues that Centocor
must  pay to CP III  and its  investors.  There  can be no  assurance  that  the
Partnership's claim will be successful.

     Centocor  has answered the  Partnership's  complaint,  as well as a similar
complaint filed by John E. Abdo,  another limited partner of CP III, denying the
material  allegations of those  complaints and asserting  purported  affirmative
defenses and third-party claims against PWG, PWDC and PWI.

     In April 1996,  Mr. Abdo moved to amend his  complaint to assert  claims on
behalf of CP III  against  one of PWDC's  two  nominees  on the CDC III Board of
Directors.  In July 1996, Mr. Abdo moved to amend his complaint to assert claims
on behalf of CP III against a former  director of CDC III  nominated by PWDC. On
July  12,  1996,  counsel  chosen  by  Centocor  to  represent  CP III  moved to
disqualify the Partnership from serving as a plaintiff in this action,  alleging
that Mr. Abdo should by the sole plaintiff because the Partnership has conflicts
of interest  with CP III and its other  limited  partners,  including  conflicts
arising  out of the  alleged  claims  against  the PWDC  nominees.  Mr. Abdo and
Centocor also moved to  disqualify  the  Partnership.  The Court has granted Mr.
Abdo's motion to amend his complaint to assert claims against the PWDC nominees.
The Court has not ruled on the motions to disqualify.

     PWDC has been advancing,  and may continue to advance,  the funds necessary
to pay the Partnership's legal fees and expenses relating to this litigation. In
the event of a recovery on behalf of CP III,  the Court may award legal fees and
expenses to the Partnership's  counsel to be paid out of the CP III recovery. It
is anticipated that: the net proceeds of any recovery will be distributed to the
limited partners of CP III, including the Partnership,  on a pro rata basis; the
Partnership   and/or  its  counsel  will  reimburse   PWDC;  and  any  remaining
Partnership proceeds will be distributed to the Partners of the Partnership on a
pro rata basis.



8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On January 31, 1997, pursuant to the provisions of the Partnership Purchase
Option Agreement  between Centocor and the Partnership,  Centocor  exercised its
option to purchase the limited partnership  interests of CP III, including those
owned by the  Partnership.  The  Partnership  received  an  initial  payment  of
$3,325,000 and will receive future  payments based on sales of certain  products
developed by CP III.

     On January 26, 1997,  the  Partnership  sold to OEC its warrant to purchase
200,000 shares of OEC for a price of $1,000,000.

PAINEWEBBER R&D PARTNERS II, L.P.                           ANNUAL REPORT 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LETTER TO LIMITED PARTNERS

To Our Limited Partners:

PaineWebber R&D Partners II, L.P. ("R&D Partners II" or the "Partnership") was
structured as a diversified portfolio of product development programs with the
expectation that a portion of the products under development would become
commercially successful. In 1996, Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme") received U.S.
Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval for Seprafilm(TM), the surgical
product based on hyaluronic acid ("HA"). Genzyme will market Seprafilm through
Deknatel Snowden Pencer, Inc., ("Deknatel") a surgical products supply company
that Genzyme acquired in July. Deknatel has an established sales force that
Genzyme believes will permit it to accelerate the market introduction of
Seprafilm into the U.S. surgical market. R&D Partners II will participate in a
royalty stream based upon the successful commercial introduction of Seprafilm.
In addition, Genzyme is developing two additional HA products: SepraGel(TM),
which targets the same application(s) as Seprafilm, and HAL-S(TM), which is a
liquid to be injected into arthritic joints.

Centocor, Inc., ("Centocor") released significant data on the status of the
clinical development of ReoPro(TM) in 1996. ReoPro is an anticlotting drug
intended to reduce acute cardiac ischemic complications in patients undergoing
angioplasty. ReoPro received marketing approval from the FDA in 1994 for use in
the reduction of acute cardiac complications, but only in patients undergoing
angioplasty procedures who are at high risk for abrupt artery closure. In 1996,
researchers from two separate symposiums were able to demonstrate through their
research that ReoPro made a positive impact in patients undergoing angioplasty.

First, researchers from the Intervent 97 Cardiology Symposium released data on
Centocor's ReoPro, demonstrating that ReoPro significantly reduced the risk of
death, heart attack and revascularization in a six month follow-up study of
patients undergoing angioplasty. Clinical trials are currently underway
evaluating ReoPro with stents, and future trials are planned in conjunction with
acute myocardial infarction and for stroke patients. Researchers said the data
from the EPILOG and CAPTURE trials will be submitted to the FDA for expanded
label indications.

In August 1996, researchers from the European Society of Cardiology reported
that ReoPro reduced the need for additional surgery after angioplasty. The
trials the researchers described found that ReoPro greatly reduced the
complications from surgery. The trials were halted in December 1995, when the
strong effects of ReoPro became apparent. The trials demonstrated a 60%
reduction in the mortality rate among patients who had suffered from acute heart
attack or angina while undergoing an angioplasty procedure.

In August 1996, Genzyme received FDA marketing approval for Seprafilm
bioresorbable membrane. Seprafilm is a HA-based bioresorbable film which is
applied after surgery around traumatized tissues to prevent adhesions prior to
closure of the surgical site. No follow-up surgery is required to remove the
membrane. Genzyme's Sepracoat(TM) coating solution received


<PAGE>



PAINEWEBBER R&D PARTNERS II, L.P.                   ANNUAL REPORT 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Approval of Conformity Certificate ("CE Mark") in accordance with the
European Medical Devices Directive ("EMDD"), in August 1996. The CE Mark
indicates that the product meets quality standards established by the EMDD for
selling the product(s) in the European Economic Union, EEU. Sepracoat is not
commercially available in the U.S., where a Pre-Market Approval ("PMA") is
currently being reviewed by the FDA. Sepracoat is a second formulation of
Genzyme's HA-based surgical products used to coat exposed organs during surgery.
Genzyme was notified by the FDA that the regulatory agency will expedite its
review of the PMA for Sepracoat.

R&D Partners II was formed in 1987 and invested in a portfolio of ten product
development programs. Of the three ongoing programs, we expect that the programs
with Centocor and Genzyme to have the greatest likelihood of commercial success.
The remaining programs which are being sponsored by Amgen Boulder Inc., a
subsidiary of Amgen Inc. ("Amgen Boulder" formerly "Synergen, Inc.") completed a
European Phase II clinical trial in March 1996, of IL-1ra (previously
Antril(TM)), a product being developed for potential use in the treatment of
rheumatoid arthritis. The results from this trial demonstrated sufficient safety
and efficacy to scientifically justify commencement of an additional Phase II
trial. The current U.S. Phase II trial is being conducted by Amgen Inc.

The following development programs of R&D Partners II have concluded and have
generated significant returns. R&D Partners II committed $5.5 million to Cygnus,
Inc. ("Cygnus") and as a result of the 1994 buy-back of the GMS technology
received 1,529,941 shares of common stock from Cygnus or 182 shares of Cygnus
common stock per $10,000 investment, representing approximately $13.0 million in
value on the date of distribution. Since the distribution in May 1995 to limited
partners, the distributed Cygnus common stock has had a value ranging from
$1,547 to $4,709. R&D Partners II invested $5.9 million in the common stock of
Alkermes, Inc. ("Alkermes") which was distributed to investors as it became
unrestricted. The available gain from the 118 shares of distributed Alkermes
common stock has ranged from $997 to $3,009 per $10,000 investment in R&D
Partners II. The product development program with Genentech, Inc. ("Genentech")
was terminated in 1991 when the product development program was determined not
to be commercially viable. R&D Partners II invested approximately $5.0 million
in the Genentech program. The Partnership retained its warrant connected with
the program which had an aggregate value of $5.4 million when it was distributed
to investors in 1992. The available gain from the distributed Genentech warrant
has ranged from $650 to $1,076 per $10,000 investment in R&D Partners II.

The development programs with Cayenne Software, Inc. ("Cayenne") (formerly 
Bachman Information Systems, Inc. and/or Cadre Technologies, Inc.), Compression
Labs, Inc. ("CLI"), Focus Surgery, Inc. ("Focus") and Rogers Corporation 
("Rogers") have been either terminated or, are near termination and will not 
generate any significant returns to the Partnership.

In December 1995, Bachman Information Systems, Inc. ("Bachman") announced the
merger agreement with Cadre Technologies, Inc. ("Cadre") which was completed on
July 19, 1996. The newly combined company was renamed Cayenne Software Inc. 
(NNM: CAYN). The Cadre warrant converted into Cayenne warrants at 23 warrants 
per $10,000 unit with an exercise price

of $16.19 per share and expires in June 1997. The product sales of Ensemble have
peaked and the company expects sales to cease in 1-2 years. R&D Partners II has
received $843,000 from product sales but does not expect any significant future
payment from this program. R&D Partners II committed $5.4 million to Ensemble,
the computer software program which was being developed by Cadre.

In August 1996, the product development program with CLI was terminated. R&D
Partners committed $12.5 million to the development of high-performance
compression and decompression devices ("Codecs") for the video-phone market.
Codecs devices compress and decompress data required to transmit a digital video
signal over several medium. CLI terminated its video-phone marketing agreement
with AT&T because of pricing and functionality problems of the product. Limited
partners received CLI warrants which expired December 16, 1996. The available
gain has ranged from $663 to $1,153 per $10,000 investment in R&D Partners II.

During 1996, Focus announced the signing of a Letter of Intent with Takai
Hospital Supply Co. for the sale of its assets of Focus for $1.25mm and,
simultaneously, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code. In August 1996, R&D Partners II received $563,000 for its technology
rights under the development program. R&D Partners II holds warrants to purchase
the common stock of OEC Medical Systems, Inc. ("OEC") in connection with the
Focus program. R&D Partners II program with Rogers to develop multichip modules
was terminated in 1990. In 1994, R&D Partners II sold the Rogers warrant for
$723,900 and distributed proceeds to limited partners.

In addition to the potential of returns from the product development programs,
investors have received common stock and warrants from R&D Partners II. With the
overall improvement in the stock market in 1996, the total value of the
distributed equity securities (common stock and warrants) from the Partnership
ranged from $7,206 to $15,185 per $10,000 investment. The aggregate value of the
distributed common stock and warrants, based on the respective dates of
distribution, is $7,206.

Cash distributions since inception of the Partnership to date total $1,866 per
$10,000 investment.

In 1996, R&D Partners II made cash distributions totaling $281 per $10,000
investment. We expect cash distributions to continue provided that products from
the ongoing product development programs meet with commercial success.

The "Company Section" of the Annual Report will contain updated information only
on programs that are currently active.

Thank you for your continued interest in R&D Partners II.

Sincerely,

Robin Stanley
Vice President
PaineWebber Development Corporation

PRODUCT PORTFOLIO STATUS

AMGEN BOULDER INC.

COMPANY
Amgen Boulder Inc. ("Amgen Boulder," formerly Synergen, Inc. ("Synergen")), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Amgen Inc., was formed as a result of Amgen Inc.'s
("Amgen") acquisition of Synergen in December 1994. The company's research is
targeted toward products for inflammatory disorders and neurological diseases.
Amgen acquired Synergen through a cash tender offer of $9.25 per share for all
outstanding shares of Synergen common stock. Amgen Boulder has continued the
clinical development of IL-1ra (previously Antril(TM)) which was being conducted
by Synergen before the acquisition took place. In March 1996, Amgen completed
the European Phase II clinical trial of IL-1ra in rheumatoid arthritis and
announced they will continue developing the product. Amgen has committed to
provide funding for the development program through June 1997.

PROGRAM
R&D Partners II committed $4.5 million to Synergen Clinical Partners, L.P., a
$52.5- million limited partnership, formed to fund the development and human
clinical trials of IL-1ra, the recombinant form of Interleukin-1ra, a naturally
occurring anti-inflammatory human protein that may play a significant role in
the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Synergen Clinical Partners, L.P.'s
interests in IL-1ra are now held by Amgen Inc.

In October 1996, the results from the IL-1ra Phase II clinical trial were
presented at the American College of Rheumatology in Orlando. Findings from the
study demonstrated that IL-1ra has mild to moderate anti-inflammatory activity
which may have a clinical benefit in patients with severe active disease. IL-1ra
also slowed disease progression when compared to placebo as measured by
radiographic assessment. An additional dose evaluation study for rheumatoid
arthritis is currently ongoing in Europe and a U.S.
combination study commenced in January 1997.

WARRANT
R&D Partners II distributed the Synergen warrant to investors in March 1993. As
a consequence of the acquisition of the company, the warrant was rendered
valueless.

CENTOCOR, INC.

COMPANY
Centocor, Inc., ("Centocor") is a biotechnology company committed to developing
innovative therapeutic and diagnostic products to advance medical practice.
Centocor concentrates on research, development, and manufacturing, with a
technological emphasis on monoclonal antibodies and peptides. It collaborates
extensively with academic institutions and other biotechnology companies, which
provide product development, and with major healthcare corporations, which
commercialize Centocor products.

PAINEWEBBER R&D PARTNERS II, L.P.                   ANNUAL REPORT 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1996, Centocor released data at three important symposiums regarding the
development of its lead product, ReoPro(TM), an anticlotting drug intended to
reduce acute cardiac ischemic complications in patients undergoing angioplasty.
In March 1996, researchers at the American College of Cardiology meeting, said
that the Epilog trial demonstrated a 68% reduction in the death rate and heart
attacks among all patients with unstable angina. "Epilog" refers to Evaluation
in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or PTCA to improve Long-Term
Outcome with ReoPro GPIIb/IIIa Blockade and is a randomized, double blind
placebo controlled trial. Positive data from the Capture trial was also
presented at the American College of Cardiology meeting in March. The Epilog and
Capture trials were halted in December 1995 due to positive interim analysis
results. Centocor plans to file a Product License Application in the first half
of 1997 with the data from the two trials and for expanded label indications.

At the European Society of Cardiology meeting in August 1996, researchers
reported that ReoPro cut the need for additional surgery following angioplasty.
The long term data released on the Epic trial showed a decrease in complications
in patients using the drug out to three years. The Capture trial showed a
reduced death rate, myocardial infarction and need for urgent intervention at 30
days following angioplasty.

Data was also released at the Intervent 97 Cardiology symposium, that showed
ReoPro significantly reduced the risk of death, heart attack and
revascularization, in a six-month follow-up study of patients undergoing
angioplasty. The Epilog trial data showed a decrease in the number of deaths and
heart attacks by 46% in patients six months after surgery. The most common
complication associated with ReoPro as seen in the Epic trial was bleeding. The
trial results demonstrated that bleeding in patients was reduced to placebo
levels by adjusting the dosing of ReoPro and heparin as well as improved
catheter and catheter-site management.

PROGRAM
R&D Partners II committed $12.0 million to Centocor Partners III, L.P., a
$54.2-million limited partnership formed to conduct the development and human
clinical trials of two monoclonal antibody-based products: ReoPro and
Capiscint(TM). Development efforts for Capiscint have been ceased.

ReoPro received marketing approval from the FDA in 1994 for use in the reduction
of acute cardiac complications in patients undergoing angioplasty procedures who
are at high risk for abrupt artery closure. In 1995, Centocor announced results
of two separate trials of ReoPro targeted toward the larger, general angioplasty
market. Centocor filed with the FDA in 1996 requesting marketing approval of
ReoPro with a broad-based label. ReoPro is currently being sold in the U.S. and
in certain foreign countries by Centocor's marketing partner, Eli Lilly & Co.
("Lilly").

WARRANT
R&D Partners II distributed the Centocor warrant in March 1992. Investors
received a warrant to purchase 116 shares of Centocor common stock per $10,000
investment in R&D Partners II with an exercise price of $14.115 per share
through February 1993 and $16.655 per share from March 1993 through February

EXHIBIT C               PAINEWEBBER R&D PARTNERS II, L.P.
                        (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)



                  POLICY REGARDING REQUESTS FOR PARTNER LISTS




      In accordance with the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act (the "Act"), and without limiting its rights under the
Partnership Agreement or the Act, as each may be amended from time to time, the
General Partner of the Partnership has established standards applicable to
requests for lists of Limited Partners. These standards have been established in
order to assure (1) that the lists are not used for an improper or inappropriate
purpose or in any way that might be detrimental to the Partnership or the
Limited Partners; (2) that the Limited Partners have sufficient information and
opportunity to decide how they should react in response to any solicitation or
other communication addressed to them; and (3) that the Partnership and the
Limited Partners do not face an increased risk of adverse tax consequences as a
direct or indirect result of any such solicitation or communication.

      The General Partner requires any request to be made in writing by a record
holder of limited partner interests with standing to request the list, to comply
strictly with all applicable requirements of law and the Partnership Agreement,
to state the purpose for which the request is made with sufficient specificity
to enable the General Partner to make the determinations specified above, and to
include an undertaking under oath by the person requesting the list and the
persons or entities on whose behalf it is requested (1) to hold the list in
strict confidence, and not to give any information derived from the list to any
third party for any purpose whatsoever, (2) to reimburse the Partnership for
costs incurred in connection with the request and for a list, including
confirming compliance with the undertakings required hereby and (3) to submit to
the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware in any dispute arising
in connection with such request and to appoint and maintain RL&F Service Corp.,
One Rodney Square, Tenth Floor, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware 19801
(whose reasonable fees and expenses will be paid by the Partnership) as such
person's or entity's agent in the State of Delaware for acceptance of legal
process in connection therewith. In addition, in the case of requests made for
the purpose of soliciting tenders of the Limited Partners' interests or units in
the Partnership or soliciting proxies or consents from Limited Partners or
facilitating, assisting or supporting any such solicitation, the General Partner
will, if and to the extent required by applicable law and the Partnership
Agreement, make lists available or agree to disseminate such solicitations on
behalf of requesting Limited Partners only upon receipt of an undertaking under
oath by the person requesting the list and the persons or entities on whose
behalf it is requested (1) to conduct the solicitation in accordance with the
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, including full disclosure of all
material facts and, in the case of any tender offer, rights of proration and
withdrawal rights, irrespective of the number of interests or units sought, and
(2) to refrain from acquiring interests or units of any number if the General
Partners, based upon advice from counsel, conclude that such acquisition would
increase the risk of adverse tax consequences to the Partnership or the
Partners.

      The General Partner shall endeavor to inform the requesting party within
30 days of receipt of the requisite undertakings whether they consider that the
proposed use of the list is improper or inappropriate or would increase the risk
of such adverse tax consequences, and may request such further assurances as may
be necessary in order to enable them to make any of the determinations specified
above.
