                          Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd. - III



Please make any corrections to name/mailing address in space above.

I  hereby  tender  to KRF3  Acquisition  Company,  L.L.C.,  a  Delaware  limited
liability company ("KRF3"),  the number of Units of Investor Limited Partnership
Interests (as defined in the Partnership  Agreement,  defined  hereinafter)  set
forth above  (including  any and all other Units or other  securities  issued or
issuable in respect of such Unit on or after the date hereof) (collectively, the
"Units") in Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd. - III, a Massachusetts  limited  partnership
(the "Partnership"), for $550.00 per Unit in cash, without any interest thereon,
(reduced by the amount of any cash  distributions  made to me by the Partnership
on or after  May 14,  1999) in  accordance  with the terms  and  subject  to the
conditions  of KRF3's Offer to Purchase  attached as Exhibit  (a)(1) to Schedule
14D-1  dated  May 14,  1999 (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 and the withdrawal  rights (described
further in the Offer to  Purchase  "The Offer - Section 4.  Withdrawal  Rights")
will remain open until 12:00 p.m. New York City time on June 11,  1999,  subject
to extension at the  discretion  of KRF3 (as  discussed in the Offer to Purchase
"The  Offer  -  Section  5.  Extension  of  Tender  Period;   Termination;   and
Amendment"). It is understood that payment for the Units tendered hereby will be
made by check mailed to me at the above address  promptly  after the date of the
Partnership's  confirmation that the transfer of the Units to KRF3 is effective,
subject to "The Offer - Section 4. Withdrawal  Rights" contained in the Offer to
Purchase.  The Offer is subject to "The Offer Section 8. Conditions of the Offer
in 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 (the "Purchase Date"), I hereby sell,
assign,  transfer,  convey  and  deliver  to KRF3,  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 such  date,  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 and whenever 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
Partners of the Partnership (the "General Partners"), and (ii) in the event that
KRF3  (which  is an  affiliate  of the  General  Partners)  elects  to  become a
substitute  limited  partner of the  Partnership,  subject to the consent of the
General Partners to the extent such consent may be required in order for KRF3 to
become a substitute limited partner of the Partnership.

It is my  intention  that  KRF3  and its  designees,  if any of them so  elects,
succeed to my interest as a  Substitute  Limited  Partner (as defined in Section
7.5 of the  Partnership  Agreement) in my place with respect to the  transferred
Units. It is my understanding, and I hereby acknowledge and agree, that KRF3 and
its designees shall be entitled to receive all  distributions  or other property
from the Partnership  attributable to the transferred  Units that are made on or
after the Purchase Date,  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 Purchase Date and without regard to whether
the applicable  sale,  financing,  refinancing or other  disposition  took place
before or after the Purchase Date. 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 Purchase
Date occurs  shall be divided  among and  allocated  between me and KRF3 and its
designees as provided in the Partnership  Agreement,  or in accordance with such
other lawful allocation methodology as may be agreed upon by the Partnership and
KRF3. 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 "The Offer - Section 4. Withdrawal  Rights" contained in the Offer to
Purchase, I hereby irrevocably  constitute and appoint KRF3 and its designees as
my true and lawful agent and  attorneys-in-fact  and proxies with respect to the
Units (and with respect to any and all other Units or other securities issued or
issuable  in respect of such Unit on or after the date  hereof),  each with full
power of substitution  (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable
power coupled with an interest),  to (i) exercise all my voting and other rights
as any such  attorney-in-fact  in their sole  discretion  may deem proper at any
meeting of Unitholders or any  adjournment or postponement  thereof,  by written
consent in lieu of any such meeting or otherwise;  (ii) act in any manner as any
such attorney-in-fact shall, in its sole discretion, deem proper with respect to
the Units;  (iii)  deliver the Units and transfer  ownership of the Units on the
Partnership's  books  maintained by the General  Partners;  (iv) endorse,  on my
behalf, any and all payments received by KRF3 from the Partnership that are made
on or after the Purchase Date, which are made payable to me, in favor of KRF3 or
any other  payee  KRF3  otherwise  designates;  (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  after  the  Purchase  Date;  (vii)  otherwise
exercise all rights of beneficial  ownership of the Units; and (viii) direct the
General  Partners to immediately  change the address of record of the registered
owner of the transferred Units to that of KRF3, as my attorney-in-fact. KRF3 and
its  designees  are  further   authorized,   as  part  of  their  powers  as  my
attorneys-in-fact  with respect to the Units,  to commence any  litigation  that
KRF3 and its designees, in their sole discretion,  deem necessary to enforce any
exercise of KRF3's or such designees powers as my attorneys-in-fact as set forth
herein.  KRF3 or its designees  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 Partners to remit to KRF3 and its designees any  distributions  made
by the  Partnership  with respect to the Units on or after the Purchase Date. To
the extent that any  distributions  are made by the Partnership  with respect to
the Units on or after the  Purchase  Date,  which are received by me, I agree to
promptly pay over such  distributions  to KRF3. I further agree to pay any costs
incurred by KRF3 and its designees 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.  All prior  powers of  attorney  and proxies
granted by me with  respect to the Units  (and such other  Units or  securities)
are, without further action, hereby revoked and no subsequent powers of attorney
or proxies may be given and no subsequent  consent may be executed (and if given
or executed, will not be deemed effective).

By  executing  and  returning  the  Agreement  of  Assignment  and  Transfer,  a
Unitholder  will be  representing  that either (a) the  Unitholder is not a plan
subject to Title I of the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974, as
amended  ("ERISA"),  or Section  4975 of the Code,  or an entity  deemed to hold
"plan  assets"  within the meaning of 29 C.F.R.  Section  2510.3 101 of any such
plan; or (b) the tender and  acceptance of Units  pursuant to the Offer will not
result in a  nonexempt  prohibited  transaction  under  Section  406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.





I hereby direct the General Partners to immediately  change my address of record
as the registered owner of the Units to be transferred herein to that of KRF3 or
its designees, conditional solely upon KRF3's execution of this Agreement.

If legal title to the Units is held through an IRA or KEOGH or similar  account,
I understand  that this Agreement must be signed by the custodian of such IRA or
KEOGH account.  Furthermore, I hereby authorize and direct the custodian of such
IRA or KEOGH to confirm this Agreement.

I hereby represent and warrant to KRF3 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 KRF3 and its designees the
Units,  and that  effective  when the Units are accepted for payment by KRF3 and
its  designees,  I hereby  convey  to KRF3 and its  designees,  and KRF3 and its
designees 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 Partners and its officers,  partners,
members,  managers,  shareholders,  directors,  employees  and  agents  from all
actions,  causes of action,  claims or demands I have, or may have,  against the
General  Partners  that  result  from  the  General  Partners  reliance  on this
Agreement  of  Assignment  and  Transfer  or  any of the  terms  and  conditions
contained  herein. I hereby indemnify and hold harmless KRF3 and 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 KRF3
and its  designees 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 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.
