whether they wish to sell their units in such Xxxxx Fund to Gramercy or any
Affiliate of Gramercy; or (ii) to state its recommendations and reasons therefor
with respect to any proposal submitted to the investors in such Xxxxx Fund by a

purpose. The lists will not be furnished by Gramercy or any Affiliate of

communication to such Investors until the seventh business day after delivery of
such materials to it by Gramercy, unless such materials were sent by Gramercy

entering into this Agreement, among other reasons, to fulfill those fiduciary
obligations;
(b) Xxxxx and its Affiliates believe that they may need to
take certain further action to meet its fiduciary obligations, including,
without limitation, suspending the acceptance of transfer paperwork in one or
more Xxxxx Funds in order to (i) avoid the termination of such Xxxxx Fund's
status as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"); (ii) avoid the treatment of such Xxxxx Fund as a "publicly traded
partnership" under the code; or (iii) prevent such Xxxxx Fund from following
outside any so-called "safe harbor" provision relating to taxation or tax
status, including provisions relating to publicly traded partnerships; and
(c) The suspension of the acceptance of transfer paperwork by
Xxxxx or its Affiliates would mean that notwithstanding the presentment of valid
transfer paperwork and the terms of this Agreement, transfers requested by
Gramercy or an Affiliate of Gramercy would not be processed or reflected on the
books and records of the applicable Xxxxx Fund.
8. Form of Transfer Agreements: Xxxxx acknowledges that:

fully and properly completed, is sufficient to satisfy the transfer paperwork
requirements of the Xxxxx Funds in connection with the acquisition of units or
shares by Gramercy and its Affiliates;
(b) it will honor the form of power of attorney contained in
the transfer agreement attached as Exhibit A; and,

fully and properly completed, is sufficient to satisfy the transfer paperwork
requirements of the Xxxxx Funds in connection with the sale of units or shares

shall within 15 days from the date of this Agreement file a stipulation of

future have arising from the failure or related to the failure to produce an

Exhibit A
AGREEMENT of ASSIGNMENT and TRANSFER
For Limited Partnership Interests in

Please make any corrections to name/mailing address in the space to the left.
I hereby tender to Madison Liquidity Investors VII, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("Madison"), the above- described limited partnership
interests (the "Units") in Xxxx Xxxxxx Realty Yield Plus, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Partnership"), for $5.75 per Unit in cash (reduced by
the amount of (i) any transfer fee payable to the Partnership in respect of the
Units tendered hereby and (ii) any cash distributions made to me by the
Partnership on or after October 3, 1996) in accordance with the terms and
subject to the conditions of Madison's Offer to Purchase as Exhibit (a)(1) to
Schedule 14D-1 dated October 3, 1996 (the "Offer to Purchase") and this
Agreement of Assignment and Transfer (which, together with the Offer to Purchase
and any supplements or amendments, constitutes the "Offer"). I acknowledge that
I have received the Offer to Purchase. The Offer will remain open until November
8, 1996, subject to sooner expiration upon reaching the maximum 43,658 accepted
Units, and subject to extension or earlier termination at the discretion of
Madison. It is understood that payment for the Units tendered hereby will be
made by check mailed to me at the address above promptly after the date of the
Partnership's confirmation that the transfer of the Units to Madison is
effective, subject to Section 4 (Proration) and Section 5 (Withdrawal Rights) of
the Offer to Purchase. The Offer is subject to Section 14 (Conditions of the
Offer) of the Offer to Purchase.
Subject to, and effective upon, acceptance of this Agreement of Assignment and
Transfer and payment for the Units tendered hereby in accordance with the terms
and subject to the conditions of the Offer, I hereby sell, assign, transfer,
convey and deliver (the "Transfer") to Madison, all of my right, title and
interest in and to the Units tendered hereby and accepted for payment pursuant
to the Offer and any and all non-cash distributions, other Units or other
securities issued or issuable in respect thereof on or after October 3, 1996,
including, without limitation, to the extent that they exist, 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 the
Units under the Partnership's limited partnership agreement (the "Partnership
Agreement"), (i) unconditionally to the extent that the rights appurtenant to
the Units may be transferred and conveyed without the consent of the general
partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner"), and (ii) in the event that
Madison elects to become a substituted limited partner of the Partnership,
subject to the consent of the General Partner to the extent such consent may be
required in order for Madison to become a substituted limited partner of the
Partnership.
It is my intention that Madison, if it so elects, succeed to my interest as a
Substitute Limited Partner, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, in my place
with respect to the transferred Units. It is my understanding, and I hereby
acknowledge and agree, that Madison shall be entitled to receive all
distributions of cash or other property from the Partnership attributable to the
transferred Units that are made on or after October 3, 1996, including, without
limitation, all distributions of Distributable Cash Flow and Net Cash Proceeds,
without regard to whether the cash or other property that is included in any
such distribution was received by the Partnership before or after the Transfer
and without regard to whether the applicable sale, financing, refinancing or
other disposition took place before or after the Transfer. It is my further
understanding, and I further acknowledge and agree, that the taxable income and
taxable loss attributable to the transferred Units with respect to the taxable
period in which the Transfer occurs shall be divided among and allocated between
me and Madison as provided in the Partnership Agreement, or in accordance with
such other lawful allocation methodology as may be agreed upon by the
Partnership and Madison. I represent and warrant that I have the full right,
power and authority to transfer the subject Units and to execute this Agreement
of Assignment and Transfer and all other documents executed in connection
herewith without the joinder of any other person or party, and if I am executing
this Agreement of Assignment and Transfer or any other document in connection
herewith on behalf of a business or other entity other than an individual
person, I have the right, power and authority to execute such documents on
behalf of such entity without the joinder of any other person or party.
Subject to Section 5 (Withdrawal Rights) of the Offer to Purchase, I hereby
irrevocably constitute and appoint Madison as my true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact with respect to the Units, with full power of substitution
(such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an
interest), to (i) vote or act in such manner as any such attorney-in-fact shall,
in its sole discretion, deem proper with respect to the Units; (ii) deliver the
Units and transfer ownership of the Units on the Partnership's books maintained
by the General Partner; (iii) endorse, on my behalf, any and all payments
received by Madison from the Partnership that are made on or after October 3,
1996, which are made payable to me, in favor of Madison or any other payee
Madison otherwise designates; (iv) execute a Loss and Indemnity Agreement
relating to the Units on my behalf if I fail to include my original
certificate(s) (if any) representing the Units with this Agreement; (v) execute
on my behalf any applications for transfer and any distribution allocation
agreements required by National Association of Securities Dealers Notice to
Members 96-14 to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(vi) receive all benefits and cash distributions and otherwise exercise all
rights of beneficial ownership of the Units; and (vii) direct the General
Partner to immediately change the address of record of the registered owner of
the transferred Units to that of Madison, as my attorney-in-fact. Madison is
further authorized, as part of its powers as my attorney-in-fact with respect to
the Units, to commence any litigation that Madison, in its sole discretion,
deems necessary to enforce any exercise of Madison's powers as my
attorney-in-fact as set forth herein. Madison shall not be required to post bond
of any nature in connection with this power of attorney. I hereby direct the
Partnership and the General Partner to remit to Madison any distributions made
by the Partnership with respect to the Units on or after October 3, 1996. To the
extent that any distributions are made by the Partnership with respect to the
Units on or after October 3, 1996, that are received by me, I agree to promptly
pay over such distributions to Madison. I further agree to pay any costs
incurred by Madison in connection with the enforcement of any of my obligations
hereunder or my breach of any of the agreements, representations and warranties
made by me herein.
I hereby direct the General Partner to immediately change my address of record
as the registered owner of the Units to be transferred herein to that of
Madison, conditional solely upon Madison's execution of this Agreement.
If legal title to the Units is held through an XXX or XXXXX or similar account,
I understand that this Agreement must be signed by the custodian of such XXX or
XXXXX account. Furthermore, I hereby authorize and direct the custodian of such
XXX or XXXXX to confirm this Agreement.
I hereby represent and warrant to Madison that I (i) have received and reviewed
the Offer to Purchase and (ii) own the Units and have full power and authority
to validly sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Madison the Units, and
that effective when the Units are accepted for payment by Madison, I hereby
convey to Madison, and Madison will hereby 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 the Units will not be subject to
any adverse claim. I further represent and warrant that I am a "United States
person," as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended.
I hereby release and discharge the General Partner and its officers,
shareholders, directors, employees and agents from all actions, causes of
action, claims or demands I have, or may have, against the General Partner that
result from the General Partner's reliance on this Agreement of Assignment and
Transfer or any of the terms and conditions contained herein. I hereby indemnify
and hold harmless the Partnership from and against all claims, demands, damages,
losses, obligations and responsibilities arising, directly or indirectly, out of
a breach of any one or more representations and warranties set forth herein.
All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive my death
or incapacity and all of my obligations shall be binding upon the heirs,
personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. In
addition, I hereby agree not to offer, sell or accept any offer to purchase any
or all of the Units to or from any third party while the Offer remains open.
Upon request, I will execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by
Madison to be necessary or desirable to complete the assignment, transfer and
purchase of the Units.
I hereby certify, under penalties of perjury, that the statements in Box A, Box
C, Box D and, if applicable, Box E below are true and correct.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware. I waive any claim that any State or Federal court located
in the State of Delaware is an inconvenient forum, and waive any right to trial
by jury.
