WHEREAS, Krescent Partners L.L.C. (i) retained Liquidity

(ii) used the Lists of the real estate limited partnerships listed on Schedule
I attached hereto (the "Scheduled Partnerships") to commence tender offers for

and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, AHI agrees as follows:
1. With respect to the Scheduled Partnerships, from and after
the date hereof AHI hereby agrees to become bound by the Letter Agreement to
the extent LFG is so bound as if AHI had executed the Letter Agreement on the
date hereof; provided, however, AHI shall only have liability with respect to
its actions or inactions under the Letter Agreement and shall not be liable for
any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by LFG or any other
party to the Letter Agreement (whether directly or by assumption).

extent that any of the obligations and liabilities of LFG under the Letter
Agreement are expanded, broadened, increased or enlarged.
3. Nothing contained herein shall require AHI to pay, perform
or discharge any liabilities or obligations expressly assumed hereunder so long
as AHI shall in good faith contest or cause to be contested the amount or
validity thereof.
4. AHI represents that it has not made any statements
inconsistent with the terms of the Krescent Tender Offers and hereby agrees to
comply with the terms of that certain letter dated December 17, 1996 from
