In general, the General Partners would consider any material limitation on the voting rights of the Limited Partners or any substantial increase in the compensation payable to the General Partners or their Affiliates to be a significant adverse change in the listed provisions.

If the Partnership participates in any acquisition of the Partnership by another entity, any combination of the Partnership with another entity through a merger or consolidation, or any conversion of the Partnership into another form of business entity through (such as a corporation) that requires the approval of the outstanding limited partnership interestinterests, the result of which would cause the other entity to issue securities to the Limited Partners, then each Limited Partner who does not approve of such reorganization (the "Dissenting Limited Partner") may require the Partnership to purchase for cash, at its fair market value, the his or her interest of the Dissenting Limited Partner in the Partnership in accordance with Section 15679.2 of the California Corporations Code.

The General Partners will make the determination as to whether or not any such conversion will result in a significant adverse change in any of the provisions listed in the preceding paragraph based on various factors relevant at the time of the proposed conversion, including an analysis of the historic and projected operations of the Partnership; the tax consequences (from the standpoint of the Limited Partners) of the conversion of the Partnership to another form of business entity and of an investment in a limited partnership as compared to an investment in the type of business entity into which the Partnership would be converted; the historic and projected operating results of the Partnership's Mortgage Investments, and the then-current value and marketability of the Partnership's Mortgage Investments. In general, the General Partners would consider any material limitation on the voting rights of the Limited Partners or any substantial increase in the compensation payable to the General Partners or their Affiliates to be a significant adverse change in the listed provisions. It is anticipated that, under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, the consummation of any such conversion of the Partnership into another form of business entity (whether or not approved by the General Partners) would require the approval of Limited Partners holding a majority of the Units. TRANSFER OF UNITS Restrictions on the Transfer of Units. There is no public or secondary market for the Units and none is expected to develop. Moreover, a Unit may only be transferred if certain requirements are satisfied, and transferees may become Limited Partners only with the consent of the General Partners. Under Article 7 of the Partnership Agreement, the assignment or other transfer of Units will be subject to compliance with the minimum investment and suitability standards imposed by the Partnership. (See "INVESTOR SUITABILITY STANDARDS"). Under presently applicable state securities law ("Blue Sky") guidelines, except in the case of a transfer by gift or inheritance or upon family dissolution or an intra-family transfer, each transferee of Units of the Partnership must generally satisfy minimum investment and investor suitability standards similar to those which were applicable to the original offering of Units and, following a transfer of less than all of his Units, each transferor must generally retain a sufficient number of Units to satisfy the minimum investment standards applicable to his initial purchase of Units. In the case of a transfer in which a member firm of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., is involved, that firm must be satisfied that a proposed transferee of Units satisfies the suitability requirements as to financial position and net worth specified in Section 3(b) of Appendix F to the NASD's Conduct Rules and must inform the proposed transferee of all pertinent facts relating to the liquidity and marketability of the Units during the term of the investment. Unless the General Partners shall give their express written approval, no Units may be assigned or otherwise transferred (i) to a minor or incompetent (unless a guardian, custodian or conservator has been appointed to handle the affairs of such Person); (ii) to any Person not permitted to be a transferee under applicable law, including, in particular but without limitation, applicable federal and state securities laws; (iii) to any Person if, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, such assignment would result in the termination under the Code of the Partnership's taxable year of its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes; (iv) to any Person if such assignment would affect the Partnership's existence or qualification as a limited partnership under the California Act or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership is then conducting business. Any such attempted assignment without the express written approval of the General Partners shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind the Partnership. In the case of a proposed assignment, which is prohibited solely under clause (iii) above, however, the Partnership shall be obligated to permit such assignment to become effective if and when, in the opinion of Counsel, such assignment would no longer have either of the adverse consequences under the Code which are specified in that clause.
