The undersigned Recognized Owner of Units, as such term is defined in the
Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement ("Recognized Owner"), and/or
Assignee Holder or Unit Holder (the "Seller") does hereby sell, assign,
transfer, convey and deliver (the "Sale") to Oak Investors, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("Oak" or the "Purchaser"), all of the Seller's
right, title and interest in Units (as defined below) in Aetna Real Estate
Associates, L.P. (the "Partnership") being sold pursuant to this Agreement of
Sale ("Agreement") and the Offer dated August 11,1998 (the "Offer") for a
purchase price of $12.50 per Unit, less the amount of any distributions
declared or paid from any source by the Partnership with respect to the Units
after July 31, 1998 without regard to the record date or whether such
distributions are classified as a return on, or a return of, capital. "Unit"
shall have the meaning as the term "Unit" is defined in the Partnership's
Limited Partnership Agreement ("Partnership Agreement") and included in the
definition of "Units" are any and all rights associated with Seller's Unit,
including, without limitation, all of Seller's rights to claims, damages,
recoveries, and causes of action accruing to the benefit of Seller with
respect to Seller's purchase and/or ownership of the Units, including any and
all rights of such Seller in any proceeds from the settlement after July 31,
1998, of any class action lawsuit by the Recognized Owners of Units (as
defined in the Partnership Agreement) of the Partnership, which lawsuit
relates to the Partnership or its General Partner. The Partnership disclosed
in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") for the year ended December 31, 1997 ("1997 10-K") that
"two purported class action lawsuits were filed in the Chancery Court of
Delaware in New Castle County, entitled Xxxxxxx v. Aetna Real Estate
Associates, L.P., et al. and Estes v. Aetna Real Estate Associates, L.P., et
al." See Section 10 of the Offer to Purchase - Certain Information
Concerning the Business of the Partnership and Related Matters. Purchaser
will pay for the Units within 5 business days after Purchaser has received
written confirmation from the Company that Oak has become a Recognized Owner
of Record on the books and records of the Partnership with respect to the
Units being sold by Seller.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the Seller
owns such Units and has full power and authority to validly sell, assign,
transfer, convey, and deliver to the Purchaser such Units, and that when any
such Units are accepted for payment by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will
acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of
all options, liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales
agreements, or other obligations relating to the sale or transfer thereof,
and such Units will not be subject to any adverse claim. The Seller further
represents and warrants that the Seller is a "United States person" as
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or if the Seller is not a United States person, the Seller does not
own beneficially or of record more than 5 percent of the outstanding Units.
Such Sale shall include, without limitation, all rights in, and claims to,
any Partnership profits and losses, cash distributions, voting rights and
other benefits of any nature whatsoever, distributable or allocable to such
Units under the Partnership Agreement. Upon the execution of this Agreement
by the Seller, Purchaser shall have the right to receive all benefits and
cash distributions and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership
of such Units.
Seller, by executing this Agreement, hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Purchaser as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with
respect to the Units with full power of substitution. This power of attorney
is an irrevocable power, coupled with an interest of the Seller to Purchaser,
to (i) execute, swear to, acknowledge, and file any document relating to the
transfer of the ownership of the Units on the books of the Partnership that
are maintained with respect to the Units and on the Partnership's books
maintained by the General Partners of the Partnership, or amend the books and
records of the Partnership as necessary or appropriate for the withdrawal of
the Seller as a Recognized Owner of Units of the Partnership, (ii) vote or
act in such manner as any such attorney-in-fact shall, in its sole
discretion, deem proper with respect to the Units, (iii) deliver the Units
and transfer ownership of the Units on the books of the Partnership that are
maintained with respect to the Units and on the Partnership's books,
maintained by the Partnership's General Partners, (iv) endorse on the
Seller's behalf any and all payments received by Purchaser from the
Partnership for any period on or after July 31, 1998, which are made payable
to the Seller, in favor of Purchaser, (v) execute on the Seller's behalf, any
applications for transfer and any distribution allocation agreements required
by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.'s Notice to Members
96-14 to give effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and
(vi) receive all benefits and distributions and amend the books and records
of the Partnership, including Seller's address and record, to direct
distributions to Purchaser as of the effective date of this Agreement and
otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial owner of the Units. Purchaser
shall not be required to post bond of any nature in connection with this
power of attorney.
SELLER DOES HEREBY DIRECT AND INSTRUCT THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE GENERAL
PARTNERS IMMEDIATELY UPON THEIR RECEIPT OF THIS AGREEMENT OF SALE (i) TO

their affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors,
shareholders, employees, and agents from all actions, causes of actions,
claims or demands Seller or Purchaser have, or may have, against any such
person that result from such party's reliance on this Agreement or any of the
terms and conditions contained herein. Seller and Purchaser do hereby
indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the General Partners and
their affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors,

additional documents deemed by the Purchaser or the Partnership to be
necessary or desirable to complete the assignment, transfer and purchase of
such Units. Oak reserves the right to amend or extend the offer at any time
without further notice to the Recognized Owners.
The Seller hereby certifies, under penalties of perjury, that (i) the tax
identification number shown on this form is the Seller's correct Taxpayer
Identification Number; and (ii) Seller is not subject to backup withholding
either because Seller has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service
(the "IRS") that Seller is subject to backup withholding as a result of
failure to report all interest or dividends, or the IRS has notified Seller
that Seller is no longer subject to backup withholding.

Seller, if an individual, is not a nonresident alien for purposes of U.S.

understands that this certification may be disclosed to the IRS by the
Purchaser and that any false statements contained herein could be punished by
fine, imprisonment, or both.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of California. Seller waives any claim that California or the
Southern District of California is an inconvenient forum, and waives any
right to trial by jury. The undersigned Seller (including any joint owner(s))
owns and wishes to assign the number of Units set forth below. By its own or
its Authorized Signatory's signature below, the Seller hereby assigns its
entire right, title and interest to the Units to the Purchaser.

records of the Partnership as necessary or appropriate for the withdrawal of
the Recognized Owner.
