NEITHER THE PARTNERSHIP NOR ITS GENERAL PARTNER OR ANY OF THE GENERAL PARTNER'S

---------------
IMPORTANT FACTORS TO CONSIDER
O THE OFFEROR OWNS 50% OF THE CORPORATION WHICH OWNS THE GENERAL PARTNER OF THE
PARTNERSHIP, AND ACCORDINGLY, THE OFFEROR IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE PARTNERSHIP.
O THE INTEREST OF THE OFFEROR, AN AFFILIATE OF THE PARTNERSHIP, IN PURCHASING
UNITS AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE MAY CONFLICT WITH THE INTEREST OF LIMITED
PARTNERS IN OBTAINING A HIGHER PRICE.
O THE OFFEROR HAS NOT HAD AN APPRAISAL OF THE PROPERTY PERFORMED, HAS NO
KNOWLEDGE OF ANY CURRENT APPRAISALS AND HAS NOT FORMED A CONCLUSION AS TO THE
CURRENT NET REALIZABLE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY.
O THE PURCHASE PRICE OF $60.00 PER UNIT IS LESS THAN THE MARKET PRICE PAID FOR
CERTAIN UNITS DURING THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 1998.
O THE OFFEROR'S PURCHASE OF UNITS WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF LIMITED PARTNERS
AND THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT MAY OTHERWISE TRADE, THEREBY POSSIBLY ADVERSELY
AFFECTING THE LIQUIDITY AND MARKET VALUE OF THE REMAINING UNITS HELD BY THE
PUBLIC.
O THE NUMBER OF LIMITED PARTNERS MAY BE REDUCED BELOW 300 BY REASON OF THE
OFFER, WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION OF THE UNITS UNDER
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 (THE "EXCHANGE ACT"), WHICH
TERMINATION WOULD SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE THE INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE
FURNISHED BY THE PARTNERSHIP TO HOLDERS OF THE UNITS AND WHICH WOULD MAKE
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE EXCHANGE ACT WITH RESPECT TO "GOING PRIVATE"
TRANSACTIONS NO LONGER APPLICABLE TO THE PARTNERSHIP.
---------------
IMPORTANT

A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:
INTRODUCTION
Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx (the "Offeror") is offering to purchase any and all of the
Limited Partnership Units ("Units") of Sierra Pacific Development Fund, a
California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), at $60.00 per Unit (the
"Purchase Price"), net to the seller in cash, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which
together constitute the "Offer"). The Offeror is the owner of 50% of the
outstanding capital and voting stock of CGS Real Estate Company, Inc., of which
S-P Properties, Inc., the General Partner of the Partnership, is a wholly-owned
subsidiary. Accordingly, the Offeror is an affiliate of the Partnership. The
address of the principal executive offices of the Partnership is 0000 Xxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, and its telephone number is (713)
706-6271.
THE OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED ON ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS BEING
TENDERED. THE OFFER IS, HOWEVER, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN OTHER CONDITIONS. SEE
SECTION 8.
Tendering Limited Partners will not be obligated to pay brokerage
commissions, solicitation fees, transfer fees or transfer taxes on the purchase
of Units by the Offeror. HOWEVER, ANY TENDERING LIMITED PARTNER WHO FAILS TO
COMPLETE AND SIGN THE SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE LETTER OF
TRANSMITTAL MAY BE SUBJECT TO A REQUIRED FEDERAL INCOME TAX BACKUP WITHHOLDING
OF 31% OF THE GROSS PAYMENTS PAYABLE TO SUCH LIMITED PARTNER PURSUANT TO THE
OFFER.
NEITHER THE PARTNERSHIP NOR ITS GENERAL PARTNER NOR ANY OF THE GENERAL
PARTNER'S DIRECTORS OR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION TO ANY
LIMITED PARTNER AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER ANY UNITS. EACH LIMITED PARTNER MUST
MAKE HIS OR HER OWN DECISION AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER UNITS AND, IF SO, HOW MANY
UNITS TO TENDER. THE OFFEROR HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT NO DIRECTOR OR EXECUTIVE
OFFICER OF THE GENERAL PARTNER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES INTENDS TO TENDER UNITS
PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.
As of June 17, 1999, the Partnership had issued and outstanding 29,354
Units. As of June 17, 1999, there were approximately 1,838 Limited Partners. The
Units are not currently registered for trading on any exchange.
SPECIAL FACTORS
1. PURPOSE OF THE OFFER.
The Offeror, an affiliate of the Partnership, is making the Offer because
it believes that the purchase of the Units at this time pursuant to the Offer is
economically attractive to the Offeror, and at the same time Limited Partners
who require or desire liquidity are being afforded the opportunity to receive
cash for their Units. Each Limited Partner has the opportunity to make an
individual decision on whether or not to tender Units pursuant to the Offer.
The desire of the Offeror to purchase Units at a price he deems attractive
may be deemed to conflict with the desire of Limited Partners to realize a
higher value for their Units. Accordingly, the interests of the Offeror, an
affiliate of the Partnership, may be deemed to be in conflict with the interests
of the Limited Partners. However, neither the Offeror nor the Partnership is
making any recommendation to Limited Partners to tender Units or any
representation to Limited Partners with respect to the adequacy or fairness of
the price of $60.00 per Unit.
Following the consummation of the Offer, except as discussed below, it is
expected that the business and operations of the Partnership will be continued
by the Partnership substantially as they are currently being conducted. The
Partnership has informed the Offeror that, except as discussed below, it has no
plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by
any person of additional securities of the Partnership or the disposition of
securities of the Partnership; (b) an extraordinary transaction, such as a
merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Partnership; (c) a sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets of the Partnership; (d) any change in
the present management of the Partnership; (e) any material change in the
present distribution policy or capitalization or indebtedness of the
Partnership; or (f) any other material change in the Partnership's structure or
business. Except as discussed below, the Offeror has no plans or proposals which
relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional
securities of the Partnership or the disposition of securities of the
Partnership; (b) an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization
or liquidation, involving the Partnership; (c) a sale or transfer of a material
amount of assets of the Partnership; (d) any change in the present management of
the Partnership; (e) any material change in the present distribution policy or
capitalization or indebtedness of the Partnership; or (f) any other material
change in the Partnership's structure or business. An affiliate of the Offeror
(and the Partnership) is considering an initial public offering of the
affiliate's securities, and the affiliate may wish to acquire all or part of the
Partnership and/or all or part of its assets, subsequent to the affiliate's
initial public offering. However, there can be no assurance that any such
initial public offer will occur and there can be no assurance that such
affiliate will attempt to acquire any portion of the Partnership or its assets.
Additionally, the Partnership is considering other possible sales or
dispositions of the Partnership's properties.
The Offeror's purchase of Units pursuant to the Offer will reduce the
number of Limited Partners and the number of Units that might otherwise trade,
and depending on the number of Units so purchased, could adversely affect the
liquidity and market value of the remaining Units held by the public, although
there is currently no established trading market for the Units.
The Units are currently registered under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Registration of the Units under the
Exchange Act may be terminated upon application of the Partnership to the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") if the Units are held by
fewer than 300 Limited Partners. It is possible that the number of Limited
Partners will be reduced below 300 by reason of the Offer and termination of
registration of the Units under the Exchange Act would substantially reduce the
information required to be furnished by the Partnership to holders of the Units
and would make certain provisions of the Exchange Act, such as the requirements
of Rule 13e-3 thereunder with respect to "going private" transactions, no longer
applicable in respect of the Partnership.
The Partnership has paid no dividends with respect to the Units since
January 1, 1994, and there are currently no plans to pay any dividends with
respect to the Units. Neither the Partnership nor the Offeror has made any
public offering of Units since January 1, 1996, nor has either the Partnership
or the Offeror purchased any Units since January 1, 1997, except for 2,300 Units
purchased by the Offeror for $27.50 per Unit pursuant to an Offer to Purchase
dated October 17, 1997.
Following the expiration of the Offer, the Offeror may, in its sole
discretion, determine to purchase any remaining Units through privately
negotiated transactions, open market purchases or otherwise, on such terms and
at such prices as the Offeror may determine from time to time, the terms of
which purchases or offers could differ from those of the Offer, except that the
Offeror will not make any such purchases of Units until the expiration of at
least ten business days after the termination of the Offer. Any possible future
purchases of Units by the Offeror will depend on many factors.
Purchases of Units by the Offeror will, in addition to the effects
described above, have the effect of increasing the Offeror's interest in the
Partnership's net book value and net earnings.
2. CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES.
The sale of Units by a Limited Partner pursuant to the Offer will be
treated for federal income tax purposes as a taxable sale of such tendered
Units. However, the specific federal income tax consequences to a Limited
Partner resulting from a sale of Units will depend on a number of factors
related to such Limited Partner's individual tax situation, including such
Limited Partner's adjusted basis in his or her Units, whether such Limited
Partner is subject to the limitation on utilization of "passive activity
losses," whether such Limited Partner has suspended "passive activity losses"
attributable to his or her ownership of Units, whether such Limited Partner
disposes of all of his or her Units pursuant to the Offer (which would generally
allow such Limited Partner to utilize in the year of sale any suspended "passive
activity losses" attributable to his or her ownership of Units) and whether such
Limited Partner would be able to utilize currently any capital losses resulting
from the sale of such Units pursuant to the Offer. The Company expects that a
Limited Partner who acquired his or her Units in the original offering and who
sells Units pursuant to the Offer will generally recognize an ordinary loss of
$2.32 per Unit attributable to Partnership operations for 1999 through the
estimated date of sale and a capital gain attributable to the sale of his or her
Units equal to the sum of (i) approximately $12.41 per Unit and (ii) such
Limited Partner's distributive share per Unit of syndication expenses of the
Partnership (generally costs incurred by Partnership's in connection with the
sale of Units in the original offering). Although the Partnership was unable to
claim syndication expenses as a deductible expense for federal income tax
purposes, each Limited Partner who acquired his or her Units in the original
offering continues to have his or her share of such expenses reflected in the
adjusted basis of his or her Units. The federal income tax impact could be
significantly different, however, for a Limited Partner who acquired his or her
Units after the original offering. To the extent that a Limited Partner who is
subject to the "passive activity loss" restrictions has not previously utilized
such losses to offset passive activity income from other sources (and sells all
of his or her Units), such suspended losses will generally become available to
such Limited Partner in the year of sale. Any capital loss recognized by a
Limited Partner from the sale of Units may be applied to offset capital gains
from other sources. In addition, capital losses in excess of capital gains may
be used to offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income in any taxable year ($1,500
for a married individual filing a separate return). Any capital losses that are
not used currently may be carried forward and used in subsequent years (subject
to the same limitations).
THE FOREGOING TAX DISCUSSION IS INTENDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL
PURPOSES ONLY. THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF A SALE PURSUANT TO THE OFFER MAY VARY
DEPENDING UPON, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE PARTICULAR TAX CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE
TENDERING LIMITED PARTNER. NO INFORMATION IS PROVIDED HEREIN AS TO THE STATE,
LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF A SALE OF UNITS PURSUANT TO THE OFFER. EACH
LIMITED PARTNER IS URGED TO CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISER TO DETERMINE THE
PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF A SALE OF UNITS
PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.
3. FAIRNESS OF THE TRANSACTION; REPORTS, OPINIONS, APPRAISALS AND CERTAIN
NEGOTIATIONS; NO APPROVALS REQUIRED; NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS.
The Offeror reasonably believes that the terms of the Offer are fair to
unaffiliated Limited Partners for the following reasons: (i) the Purchase Price
reflects the most recently reported third party trading price of the Units,
(ii) the Partnership is not currently making any distributions, and (iii) the
Offer provides a mechanism whereby Limited Partners who desire liquidity are
being afforded the opportunity to receive cash for their Units. The price of
$60.00 per Unit was determined by the Offeror as the price which he believed
represented an attractive price for him economically. In determining this price,
he considered the following factors:
------------------------
Determined on the basis of the trades reported in THE PARTNERSHIP SPECTRUM, as
discussed in more detail in Section 9 below.
(a) that there is not a liquid market for the Units;
(b) that the Offeror may have to hold the Units for a lengthy period of
time;
(c) that the Partnership is not currently making any distributions and
there is no assurance that the Partnership will resume making any distributions;
and
(d) the Offeror's personal expectations that the value of the
Partnership's property will increase in the future.
The Offeror did not obtain any appraisals or valuations in connection with
his determination of the Purchase Price.
Although the Purchase Price is less than the prices paid by an affiliate
for certain Units during the fourth quarter of 1998, as set forth in Schedule A
hereof, the Offeror believes that the Purchase Price is fair. The Offeror has
not had an appraisal of the property performed, has no knowledge of any current
appraisals and has not formed any conclusion as to the current net realizable
value of the property. The Offeror does, however, believe that the price of
$60.00 per Unit represents an attractive investment to him compared to the value
he expects the Units to have in the future. Since January 1, 1996, the Offeror
has not sought or obtained any report, appraisal or opinion with respect to the
value of the Units and neither the Partnership nor is the Offeror aware of any
such report, appraisal or opinion that may have prepared by any other person.
Additionally, neither the Partnership nor is the Offeror aware of any other firm
offers made by any person unaffiliated with the Partnership during the preceding
eighteen months (i) for the merger or consolidation of the Partnership with such
person, (ii) for the sale or other transfer of all or any substantial part of
the assets of the Partnership or (iii) for Units which would enable the holder
of the Units to exercise control of the Partnership.
The Offeror is not aware of any license or regulatory permit that appears
to be material to the Partnership's business that might be adversely affected by
its acquisition of Units as contemplated in the Offer or of any approval or
other action by any government or governmental, administrative or regulatory
authority or agency, domestic or foreign, that would be required for the
Offeror's acquisition or ownership of Units pursuant to the Offer. Should any
such approval or other action be required, the Offeror currently contemplates
that it will seek such approval or other action.
There is no vote of Limited Partners required in connection with the Offer
and there are no appraisal rights available to Limited Partners in connection
with the Offer. The General Partner of the Partnership has informed the Offeror
that the Partnership has not retained, and does not intend to retain, an
unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated Limited
Partners or to prepare a report or an opinion with respect to the fairness of
the Offer.
Certain historical financial information regarding the Partnership and
certain information regarding its property is set forth on Scheduled B and C
hereto. This information has been derived from publicly available reports of the
Partnership filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The scheduled termination date for the Partnership is December 31, 2030,
although it was initially expected to terminate upon the sale of all of its
properties, and those sales were expected to commence after approximately five
years. The Offeror understands that the General Partner, however, has elected
not to sell the remaining property at this time because it does not believe that
the value it could obtain for the property at this time is attractive and has
not determined when it may do so. Limited Partners have the right under the
Partnership's partnership agreement to remove the General Partner by a majority
vote.
4. NUMBER OF UNITS; EXPIRATION DATE; EXTENSION OF THE OFFER.
On the terms and subject to the conditions described herein and in the
Letter of Transmittal, the Offeror will purchase any and all Units that are
validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date (and not properly withdrawn
in accordance with Section 6) at the Purchase Price. The later of 5:00 p.m.,
Pacific time, on _________, __________, 1999, or the latest time and date to
which the Offer is extended, is referred to herein as the "Expiration Date." The
Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of Shares being tendered.
If (i) the Offeror increases or decreases the price to be paid for Units
or decreases the number of Units being sought and (ii) the Offer is scheduled to
expire at any time earlier than the expiration of a period ending on the tenth
business day from, and including, the date that notice of such increase or
decrease is first published, sent or given in the manner described in Section
14, the Offer will be extended until the expiration of ten business days from
the date of publication of such notice.
The Offeror also expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at
any time or from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the
Offer is open by giving oral or written notice of such extension to the
Partnership and making a public announcement thereof. See Section 14. There can
be no assurance, however, that the Offeror will exercise its right to extend the
Offer.
For purposes of the Offer, a "business day" means any day other than a
Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday and consists of the time period from 12:01
a.m. through 12:00 midnight, New York City time.
Copies of this Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal are being
mailed to Limited Partners.
5. PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING UNITS.
PROPER TENDER OF UNITS. To tender Units validly pursuant to the Offer, a
properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or photocopy thereof,
together with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required
by the Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Depositary (the
"Depositary") at the address set forth in the Letter of Transmittal.
FEDERAL BACKUP WITHHOLDING. TO AVOID FEDERAL INCOME TAX BACKUP WITHHOLDING
EQUAL TO 31% OF THE GROSS PAYMENTS MADE PURSUANT TO THE OFFER, EACH TENDERING
LIMITED PARTNER MUST NOTIFY THE OFFEROR OF SUCH LIMITED PARTNER'S CORRECT
TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND PROVIDE CERTAIN OTHER INFORMATION BY PROPERLY
COMPLETING THE SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 INCLUDED IN THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.
FOREIGN LIMITED PARTNERS MAY BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A PROPERLY COMPLETED FORM
W-8, CERTIFYING NON-UNITED STATES STATUS, IN ORDER TO AVOID BACKUP WITHHOLDING.
IN ADDITION, FOREIGN STOCKHOLDERS MAY BE SUBJECT TO 30% (OR LOWER TREATY RATE)
WITHHOLDING ON GROSS PAYMENTS RECEIVED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER. FOR A DISCUSSION
OF CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO TENDERING LIMITED PARTNERS, SEE
SECTION 2. EACH LIMITED PARTNER IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER OWN TAX
ADVISER.
DETERMINATIONS OF VALIDITY. All questions as to the Purchase Price, the
form of documents and the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and
acceptance for payment of any tender of Units will be determined by the Offeror,
in its sole discretion, and its determination shall be final and binding. The
Offeror reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of Units that
it determines are not in proper form or the acceptance for payment of or payment
for Units that may, in the opinion of the Offeror's counsel, be unlawful. The
Offeror also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in
any tender of Units. Neither the Offeror, the Partnership, or any other person
will be under any duty to give notice of any defect or irregularity in tenders,
nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.
RULE 14E-4. It is a violation of Rule 14e-4 promulgated under the Exchange
Act for a person to tender Units for his or her own account unless the person so
tendering (i) has a net long position equal to or greater than the amount of
Units tendered and (ii) will cause such Units to be delivered in accordance with
the terms of the Offer. The tender of Units pursuant to the procedures described
above will constitute the tendering Limited Partner's representation and
warranty that (i) such Limited Partner has a net long position in the Units
being tendered within the meaning of Rule 14e-4 promulgated under the Exchange
Act, and (ii) the tender of such Units complies with Rule 14e-4. The Offeror's
acceptance for payment of Units tendered pursuant to the Offer will constitute a
binding agreement between the tendering Limited Partner and the Offeror on the
terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.
6. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.
Tenders of Units made pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time
prior to the Expiration Date. Thereafter, such tenders are irrevocable, except
that they may be withdrawn after ___________, 1999, unless theretofore accepted
for payment as provided in this Offer to Purchase. If the Offeror extends the
period of time during which the Offer is open, is delayed in accepting for
payment or paying for Units or is unable to accept for payment or pay for Units
pursuant to the Offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to the Offeror's
rights under the Offer, the Offeror may retain all Units tendered, and such
Units may not be withdrawn except as otherwise provided in this Section 6,
subject to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, which provides that the person
making the tender offer shall either pay the consideration offered, or return
the tendered securities promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the
tender offer.
To be effective, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal
must be timely received by the Depositary at its address set forth in the Letter
of Transmittal and must specify the name of the person who tendered the Units to
be withdrawn and the number of Units to be withdrawn. Withdrawals may not be
rescinded, and Units withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered
for purposes of the Offer. However, withdrawn Units may be retendered by again
following the procedures described in Section 5 at any time prior to the
Expiration Date.
All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of
any notice of withdrawal will be determined by the Offeror, in its sole
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. Neither of the
Offeror, the Partnership, nor any other person will be under any duty to give
notification of any defect or irregularity in any notice of withdrawal or incur
any liability for failure to give any such notification.
7. PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.
On 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 Offeror will accept for payment, and will pay for, Units validly
tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the Offer, 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 and
any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.
For purposes of the Offer, the Offeror shall be deemed to have accepted
for payment (and thereby purchased) tendered Units when, as and if the Offeror
gives oral or written notice to the Partnership of the Offeror's acceptance for
payment of such Units pursuant to the Offer. On 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 Purchase Price with the Depositary, which
will act as agent for the tendering Limited Partners for the purpose of
receiving payment from the Offeror and transmitting payment to tendering Limited
Partners. Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the Purchase Price by
reason of any delay in making such payment.
If any tendered Units are not accepted for payment pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Offer, the Letter of Transmittal with respect to such
Units not purchased will be destroyed by the Depositary. If, for any reason
whatsoever, acceptance for payment of, or payment for, any Units tendered
pursuant to the Offer is delayed or the Offeror is unable to accept for payment,
purchase or pay for Units tendered pursuant to the Offer, then, without
prejudice to the Offeror's rights under the Offer (but subject to compliance
with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act), the Offeror may retain tendered
Units, subject to any limitations of applicable law, and such Units may not be
withdrawn, except to the extent that the tendering Limited Partners are entitled
to withdrawal rights as described in the Offer.
If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Offeror shall increase the
consideration offered to Limited Partners 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.
The Offeror reserves the right to transfer or assign, at any time and from
time to time, in whole or in part, to one or more affiliates, the right to
purchase Units tendered pursuant to the Offer, but no such transfer or
assignment will relieve the Offeror of its obligations under the Offer or
prejudice the rights of tendering Limited Partners to receive payments for Units
validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer.
8. CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Offer, the Offeror will not be
required to accept for payment or pay for any Units tendered, and may terminate
or amend the Offer or may postpone (subject to the requirements of the Exchange
Act for prompt payment for or return of Units) the acceptance for payment of or
payment for Units tendered, if at the Expiration Date, as it may be extended,
any of the following events shall have occurred (or shall have been determined
by the Offeror in its sole judgment to have occurred) regardless of the
circumstances giving rise thereto (including any action or omission to act by
the Offeror):
(a) there shall have been threatened, instituted or pending any
action or proceeding by any government or governmental, regulatory or
administrative agency or authority or tribunal or any other person,
domestic or foreign, or before any court, authority, agency or tribunal
that (i) challenges or seeks to challenge the acquisition of Units
pursuant to the Offer or otherwise in any manner relates to or affects the
Offer or (ii) in the sole judgment of the Offeror, could materially and
adversely affect the business, condition (financial or other), income,
operations or prospects of the Partnership, or otherwise materially impair
in any way the contemplated future conduct of the business of the
Partnership or materially impair the contemplated benefits of the Offer to
the Offeror;
(b) there shall have been any action threatened, pending or taken,
or approval withheld, withdrawn or abrogated or any statute, rule,
regulation, judgment, order or injunction threatened, proposed, sought,
promulgated, enacted, entered, amended, enforced or deemed to be
applicable to the Offer or the Partnership, by any legislative body,
court, authority, agency or tribunal which, in the Offeror's sole
judgment, would or might directly or indirectly (i) make the acceptance
for payment of, or payment for, some or all of the Units illegal or
otherwise restrict or prohibit consummation of the Offer, (ii) delay or
restrict the ability of the Offeror, or render the Offeror unable, to
accept for payment or pay for some or all of the Units, (iii) imposes or
seeks to impose limitations on the ability of the Offeror to acquire or
hold or to exercise full rights of ownership of the Units, (iv) materially
impair the contemplated benefits of the Offer to the Offeror or (v)
materially affect the business, condition (financial or other), income,
operations or prospects of the Partnership, or otherwise materially impair
in any way the contemplated future conduct of the business of the
Partnership;
(c) it shall have been publicly disclosed or the Offeror shall have
learned that any person or "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3)
of the Exchange Act) has acquired or proposes to acquire beneficial
ownership of more than 5% of the outstanding Units;
(d) there shall have occurred (i) any general suspension of trading
in, or limitation on prices for, securities on any national securities
exchange or in the over-the-counter market, (ii) any significant decline
in the general level of market prices of equity securities in the United
States or abroad, (iii) any change in the general political, market,
economic or financial condition in the United States or abroad that could
have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's business, condition
(financial or other), income, operations or prospects, (iv) the
declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in
respect of banks in the United States or any limitation on, or any event
which, in the Offeror's sole judgment, might affect, the extension of
credit by lending institutions in the United States, (v) the commencement
of a war, armed hostilities or other international or national crisis
directly or indirectly involving the United States or (vi) in the case of

9. PRICE RANGE OF UNITS; DISTRIBUTIONS; TRADING VOLUME.
The Units are not listed on any national securities exchange or quoted in
the over-the-counter market, and there is no established public trading market
for the Units. Secondary sales activity for the Units has been extremely limited
and sporadic. The Partnership monitors transfers of the Units because the
admission of the transferee as a substitute limited partner requires the consent
of the General Partner under the Partnership Agreement. However, neither the
Partnership nor the Offeror has information regarding the prices at which all
secondary sales transactions in the Units have been effectuated. Various
organizations offer to purchase and sell limited partnership interests (such as
the Units) in secondary sales transactions. Various publications such as The
Partnership Spectrum summarize and report information (on a monthly, bimonthly
or less frequent basis) regarding secondary sales transactions in limited
partnership interests (including the Units), including the prices at which such
secondary sales transactions are effectuated.
The Offeror has been informed that the Partnership estimates, based solely
on the transfer records of the Partnership, that the number of Units transferred
in sales transactions (I.E., excluding transactions believed to be between
related parties, family members or the same beneficial owner) was as follows:
Number of Total Percentage of Number of
Year Units Transferred Units Outstanding Transactions
---- ----------------- ----------------- ------------
1997 863 2.94% 89
1998 5,546 18.89% 539

The information from The Partnership Spectrum contained above is provided
without verification by the Offeror and is subject to the following
qualifications in The Partnership Spectrum: "Limited partnership investments are
generally illiquid, long-term investments. Sellers of such investments are often
considered distressed for various reasons and find it necessary to accept
discounted sales prices. As a result, the above price information may not
reflect the intrinsic valued of a limited partnership interest. In some cases,
discounts from original purchase prices result from a partnership having already
liquidated, financed or refinanced a portion of its investment portfolio."
Transaction data has been provided by the firms listed above and has not been
