This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by holders of Units in SB Partners (the “Partnership”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below).

The undersigned hereby tenders to MPF Badger Acquisition Co., LLC, MPF Income Fund 23, LLC, MPF DeWaay Fund 5, LLC, MPF DeWaay Premier Fund 4, LLC, MPF DeWaay Fund 7, LLC, MPF Flagship Fund 13, LLC, MPF Income Fund 24, LLC (collectively the “Purchasers”) all of the Units of limited partnership interest (“Units”) in the Partnership held by the undersigned as set forth above (or, if less than all such Units, the number set forth below in the signature box), at a purchase price equal to $700 per Unit, less the amount of any distributions made or declared with respect to the Units between August 21, 2008 and the Expiration Date, and upon the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 21, 2008 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in this Letter of Transmittal, as each may be supplemented or amended from time to time (which together constitute the “Offer”). Receipt of the Offer to Purchase is hereby acknowledged. The undersigned recognizes that, if more than 1,500 Units are validly tendered prior to or on the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn, the Purchasers will, upon the terms of the Offer, accept for payment from among those Units tendered prior to or on the Expiration Date 1,500 Units on a pro rata basis, with adjustments to avoid purchases of certain fractional Units, based upon the number of Units validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn. Subject to and effective upon acceptance for payment of any of the Units tendered hereby, the undersigned sells, assigns, and transfers to, Purchasers all right, title, and interest in and to such Units which are purchased pursuant to the Offer. The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchasers as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact and proxy of the undersigned with respect to such Units, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney and proxy being deemed to be an irrevocable power and proxy coupled with an interest), to deliver such Units and transfer ownership of such Units, on the books of the Partnership, together with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity, to the Purchasers and, upon acceptance of the tender of such Units by the Purchasers, to exercise all voting rights and to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Units all in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Upon the purchase of any Units tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby requests that each of the Purchasers be admitted to the Partnership as a “substitute Limited Partner” under the terms of the Partnership Agreement of the Partnership. Upon the purchase of Units pursuant to the Offer, all prior proxies and consents given by the undersigned with respect to such Units will be revoked and no subsequent proxies or consents may be given (and if given will not be deemed effective). In addition, by executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned assigns to the Purchasers all of the undersigned’s rights to receive distributions from the Partnership with respect to Units which are purchased pursuant to the Offer, other than distributions declared or paid through the Expiration Date and to change the address of record for such distributions on the books of the Partnership. Upon request, the Seller will execute and deliver, and irrevocably directs any custodian to execute and deliver, any additional documents deemed by the Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to complete the assignment, transfer, and purchase of such Units.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned owns the Units tendered hereby and has full power and authority to validly tender, sell, assign, and transfer the Units tendered hereby, and that when any such Units are purchased by the Purchasers, the Purchasers will acquire good, marketable, and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all 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. Upon request, the undersigned will execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Purchasers to be necessary or desirable to complete the assignment, transfer, and purchase of Units tendered hereby. The undersigned understands that a tender of Units to the Purchasers will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchasers upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The undersigned recognizes the right of the Purchasers to effect a change of distribution address to MacKenzie Patterson Fuller, LP at 1640 School Street, Moraga, California, 94556. The undersigned recognizes that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the Purchasers may not be required to accept for payment any of the Units tendered hereby. In such event, the undersigned understands that any Letter of Transmittal for Units not accepted for payment will be destroyed by the Purchasers. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.
Arbitration Agreement: Purchaser and Seller agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or related to this agreement or a purchase of Units shall be resolved by binding arbitration in San Francisco, California before a retired judge. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”). If one party fails to respond within twenty days after the other party mails a written list of arbitrators by either agreeing to one of the proposed arbitrators or suggesting three or more alternate arbitrators, the proposing party may select the arbitrator from among its initial list and JAMS shall then appoint that arbitrator to preside over the arbitration. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the parties shall select an arbitrator pursuant to the Rules. Where reasonable, the arbitrator shall schedule the arbitration hearing within four months after being appointed. The arbitrator must render a decision in writing, explaining the legal and factual basis for decision as to each of the principal controverted issues. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding upon the parties. A judgment upon any award may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall be responsible for advancing one-half of the costs of arbitration, including all JAMS fees; provided that, in the award, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arbitrator fees, JAMS fees and costs, and any attorneys' fees and costs incurred in compelling arbitration. The parties are not waiving, and expressly reserve, any rights they may have under federal securities laws, rules, and regulations. This agreement will be interpreted, construed, and governed according to federal securities laws and the laws of the State of California; provided that all matters relating to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Sections 1 et seq.).
