The Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $3,571,000 after deducting closing costs of approximately $164,000 and net closing proration adjustments of approximately $15,000. The Partnership was entitled to 100% of the net sale proceeds in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreement. As discussed further in the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended May 31, 1998, as part of its plan to liquidate the Partnership in calendar year 1998, the Partnership had initiated discussions with area real estate brokers firms to define potential marketing strategies for selling the Marshall's at East Lake Shopping Center. During the third quarter of fiscal 1998, the Partnership solicited marketing proposals from two of these firms. After reviewing their proposals and conducting in-depth interviews, the Partnership selected a regional brokerage firm with extensive experience marketing shopping center properties like Marshall's at East Lake. Initial sale efforts began in May 1998. During the third quarter, a marketing package was finalized and the property was widely marketed to over 90 potential buyers. As a result of these efforts, five best and final offers to purchase the property were received. Following a review of the buyers' financial capabilities and previous acquisitions, a potential purchaser was selected. Subsequent to the Partnership's August 31 fiscal year-end, a purchase and sale agreement was signed on September 28, 1998. Pursuant to this agreement, the prospective purchaser had 21 days to complete its due diligence review of the property and thereafter had nine business days to close on the transaction. Marshall's at East Lake was the final asset owned by the Partnership. A formal liquidation of the Partnership is now underway. The Partnership anticipates an orderly liquidation of the Partnership to be completed and a liquidating distribution of the Partnership's remaining cash reserves, including the net proceeds from the sale of Marshall's, to be made to the Limited Partners by November 30, 1998, after paying all liquidation-related expenses.

ARTICLE 4 PRECLOSING OPERATION 4.1 A rent roll prepared by Seller's property manager (the Rent Roll) containing a list of all current occupants of the Property is attached hereto as Schedule C. The leases listed on the Rent Roll, together with leases entered into pursuant to this Article 4 are collectively referred to herein as the Leases. 4.2 Seller shall not, after the date hereof; (i) enter into any new Leases or amend or terminate any existing Leases, provided, however, Seller shall not require Buyer's consent to enter into any lease for premises consisting of less than 1,200 square feet, a term of less than three (3) years and at a market rental rate; (ii) enter into or modify any service contracts, operating agreements, or reciprocal easement agreements, (iii) alter the zoning classification of the Property or (iv) materially alter the physical structure of any Improvements, without the written consent of Buyer in any such instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Seller shall deliver Buyer a copy of the proposed document together with any consent request. If Buyer does not notify Seller in writing of its denial of consent within five (5) days after written request therefor from Seller, Buyer shall be deemed to have consented to such requested action. In the event Buyer denies its consent, Buyer shall specify its reasons for denial in its written notice thereof. In the event Seller's requested action with respect to a Lease is consented to or deemed consented to by Buyer, Buyer shall pay for tenant improvements and leasing commissions as disclosed on Seller's request for consent, if this purchase transaction closes. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any unfulfilled or remaining tenant concessions, including any rent free or reduced rent periods, under existing Leases regardless of the date by which such allowances or concessions are to be fulfilled or realized. 4.2.1 Prior to the date hereof, Seller has provided Buyer with the terms of the proposed lease amendment to be entered into with N.L. Nail, an existing tenant, and Buyer has consented to these terms. 4.3 At all times prior to Closing, Seller shall continue (a) to conduct business with respect to the Property in the same manner in which said business has been heretofore conducted and (b) to insure the Property substantially as currently insured. 4.4 Buyer shall, by written notice to Seller, on or before the Diligence Date, identify any Contracts (as defined in Section 5.2 below) which it elects to have assigned to it and therefore will assume. Buyer shall be deemed to have elected not to assume any Contracts which are not identified as to be assigned and assumed. Seller shall terminate any Contracts at Closing which are not identified by Buyer as specified in this section as to be assigned and assumed at Closing, provided that such Contracts may be terminated without cost or liability to Seller. Seller, at Seller's sole cost and expense, shall terminate any property management and leasing agreement(s) no later than the Closing Date. 4.5 Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain tenant estoppel certificates from all tenants in the form attached hereto as Schedule E, or such other form as may be required under any applicable lease (the Estoppels). Seller shall obtain tenant estoppel certificates from Marshalls, Inc., Rack Room Shoes and Australian Body Works (the Major Tenants) and remaining tenants occupying in the aggregate sixty percent (60%) of the total leasable area of the Property not leased by Major Tenants and currently occupying their space under the Leases (collectively, the Required Estoppels). Seller shall not be obligated to expend more than nominal funds or commence litigation in pursuit of such Estoppels. The only remedy Buyer shall have in the event (i) Seller is unable to deliver the Estoppels or (ii) any Estoppel discloses a material default on the part of Seller under any Lease or any Estoppel or Estoppels disclose defaults on the part of Seller under any Lease or Leases which defaults, in the aggregate, are material and Seller fails on or prior to the day preceding the date of Closing to cure, as applicable, either each such material default or each such other defaults which are material, in the aggregate, is to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Escrowed Amount. If Seller has not obtained the Estoppels on or prior to the day preceding the date of Closing, Seller may extend the date of Closing for a period of seven (7) days upon written notice to Buyer delivered on or prior to the day preceding the date of Closing. In the event Seller has not obtained the Estoppels, Seller shall deliver one or more estoppel certificates from Seller in the form attached hereto as Schedule E-1 with respect to Leases for which Estoppels were not obtained from tenants to satisfy the closing condition set forth in Section 7.2(i) (the Seller Estoppels) and the certifications contained therein shall survive Closing for a period of three (3) months provided, however, that Seller's liability for any breach of any certification contained therein shall be limited to an aggregate amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), as provided in Section 6.4.4 herein.

Provided Buyer has performed all of its obligations hereunder in all material respects and this Agreement has not otherwise been terminated, in the event Seller willfully breaches its obligations to close hereunder and sells the Property to a third party unaffiliated with Buyer, Buyer shall have as its sole remedy at law or in equity the right to terminate this Agreement and receive the Escrowed Amount and liquidated damages in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) from Seller.

Seller and Buyer agree that the damages resulting to Seller as a result of such default by Buyer are difficult or impossible to ascertain and the liquidated damages set forth in the preceding sentence constitute Buyer's and Seller's reasonable estimate of such damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Buyer's default and a termination of this Agreement by Seller on account thereof, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Buyer or any party related to or affiliated with Buyer thereafter asserts any claims or rights to the Property that would otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible and marketable title to the Property. ARTICLE 11 MISCELLANEOUS 11.1 Buyer may only assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement to an entity owned, or controlled directly or indirectly by New Plan Realty Trust or which owns or controls directly or indirectly New Plan Realty Trust.
