                    REVIEW OF MCNEIL PARTNERSHIPS ALLOCATIONS


1.       Adjusted purchase price was allocated between the McNeil Business and
         the Partnerships as a group based upon the relative value of the real
         estate and the McNeil Business Value



2.       Allocated value was reduced by mortgage debt and adjusted by estimated
         excess cash balance (after transaction expenses), estimated as of
         January 31, 2000



3.       Allocation between the Limited Partners and the MPLP Allocation Amount
         was based upon: (i) the general partners proportionate interest in the
         profits and losses of the Partnerships based upon capital
         contributions; (ii) the deficit restoration obligation of the General
         Partners; (iii) certain rights and other assets corresponding to the
         McNeil Partnerships which are being contributed in connection with the
         general partners interest and (iv) the amounts due to McREMI (the
         "Second McREMI Allocated Value").

Gentlemen:

      The general partners (the "General Partners") of the above identified
partnerships (the "Partnerships") have advised us that the Partnerships are
contemplating a transaction (the "Transaction") pursuant to an agreement (the
"Master Agreement") in which WXI/McN Realty L.L.C., a newly formed Delaware
limited liability company (the "Company"), will acquire (i) the general
partnership interests in each of the Partnerships and certain rights and assets
relating thereto (collectively, the "General Partner Interests"), (ii) the
limited partnership interests in each of the Partnerships (the "Limited Partner
Interests") and (iii) the assets of McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. and
certain rights relating thereto (collectively, the "McREMI Assets"), in exchange
for cash and membership interests in the Company ("Membership Interests") and
the prepayment and assumption of indebtedness of the Partnerships and their
subsidiaries (collectively, the total cash, Membership Interests and the
aggregate amount of indebtedness being prepaid or assumed are referred to herein
as the "Aggregate Consideration"). The Aggregate Consideration will approximate
$644,440,000. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Master Agreement.



                                        1


      We understand that, pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement, the
parties to the Master Agreement have agreed to allocate the Aggregate
Consideration between certain assets of McREMI (the "Partial McREMI Allocated
Value"), on the one hand, and all of the Partnerships taken as a whole
(collectively, the "Total Allocated Partnership Value"), on the other hand,
pursuant to an Allocation Analysis (the "Allocation Analysis") prepared by
Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc. ("Stanger"). We understand that the Total
Allocated Partnership Value will be allocated among the individual Partnerships
pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement (the portion of the Total
Allocated Partnership Value allocated to each Partnership, the "Per Partnership
Allocated Value" for such Partnership). In rendering the Allocation Analysis,
the Per Partnership Allocated Value will be reduced by the aggregate amount of
indebtedness of such Partnership (the "Net Per Partnership Allocated Value"). We
understand that, pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement, the parties to
the Master Agreement have agreed to allocate the Net Per Partnership Allocated
Value of each Partnership among the General Partner Interests in each
Partnership (which shall include a further allocation between the proportional
interest in such Partnership based upon capital contributions and each of the
rights and other assets corresponding to such Partnership which are being
contributed in connection with such interests in accordance with Article II of
the Master Agreement), the amounts due to McREMI (the "Second McREMI Allocated
Value"), and each class of Limited Partner Interests in such Partnership (the
"Limited Partner Consideration Amount"). We understand that the Master Agreement
contemplates a special payment to Limited Partners of each Partnership at or
around the closing date of the Transaction in an amount equal to the estimated
working capital balance as of such date (the "Excess Cash Balance"). The Excess
Cash Balance and the Limited Partner Consideration Amount of each Partnership
will be paid to holders of Limited Partner Interests of each Partnership based
upon the provisions of the partnership agreement of each Partnership relating to
a liquidation.

      We understand that limited partners in each of the Partnerships will have
the opportunity to approve or reject the participation by their Partnership in
the Transaction pursuant to a proxy statement and a limited partners meeting
which will be prepared and held, respectively, in connection with the
Transaction, and further that limited partners in each Partnership (except
Fairfax Associates II, Ltd. ("Fairfax") and McNeil Summerhill I, L.P.
("Summerhill")), will receive only cash in exchange for Limited Partner
Interests. We understand that affiliates of the General Partners are expected to
contribute assets to the Company in connection with the Transaction (including
the General Partner Interests in each of the Partnerships, the Limited Partner
Interests in Fairfax and Summerhill, the McREMI Assets and additional cash) with
an aggregate value range of $65.1 million to $100 million, representing
approximately 30.4% to 46.7% of the initial mezzanine debt and equity
capitalization of the Company.

      On June 24, 1999, Stanger provided an opinion as to the fairness, from a
financial point of view, to the holders of each class of Limited Partner
Interests in each Partnership of: (i) the Aggregate Consideration to be paid for
the McREMI Assets and the Limited Partner Interests and General Partner
Interests in the Partnerships in connection with the Transaction; (ii) the
allocation of the Aggregate Consideration between the Partial McREMI Allocated
Value, on the one hand, and the Total Allocated Partnership Value, on the other
hand; (iii) the Per Partnership Allocated Value for each Partnership; (iv) the
methodology of allocation of the Per Partnership Allocated Value, less
indebtedness prepaid or assumed, among the General Partner Interests, the Second
McREMI

                                        2


Allocated Value and each class of Limited Partner Interests; and (v) the
estimated per unit Excess Cash Balance and Limited Partner Consideration Amount
with respect to each class of Limited Partner Interests for each Partnership
determined as of March 31, 1999, based upon the balance sheet of each
Partnership as of such date adjusted for transaction expenses and the allocation
thereof, as estimated by the General Partner. You have requested that Stanger
provide a second opinion (the "Second Stanger Opinion") as to the fairness from
a financial point of view, to the holders of each class of Limited Partner
Interest in each Partnership of: (i) the portion of the Aggregate Consideration
allocated to the General Partner Interests in each Partnership; (ii) the Second
McREMI Allocated Value for each Partnership; (iii) the Limited Partner
Consideration Amount for each class of Limited Partner Interests in each
Partnership; and (iv) the sum of the estimated per unit Limited Partner
Consideration Amount and Excess Cash Balance with respect to each class of
Limited Partner Interests for each Partnership, based on the General Partner's
estimates as of January 31, 2000 of the modified net working capital balance of
each Partnership, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Master
Agreement.

      Stanger, founded in 1978, has provided research, investment banking and
consulting services to clients located throughout the United States, including
major New York Stock Exchange member firms and insurance companies and over
seventy companies engaged in the management and operation of partnerships and
real estate investment trusts. The investment banking activities of Stanger
include financial advisory services, asset and securities valuations, industry
and company research and analysis, litigation support and expert witness
services, and due diligence investigations in connection with both publicly
registered and privately placed securities transactions.

      Stanger, as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged
in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers,
acquisitions, and reorganizations and for estate, tax, corporate and other
purposes. In particular, Stanger's valuation practice principally involves
partnerships, partnership securities and the assets typically owned through
partnerships including, but not limited to, real estate, mortgages secured by
real estate, oil and gas reserves, cable television systems, and equipment
leasing assets.

      In arriving at the opinion set forth below, we have:

      o        Reviewed the Master Agreement and the form of the First Amended
               and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of
               WXI/McN Realty L.L.C. attached as an exhibit to the Master
               Agreement;

      o        Reviewed a draft of the Proxy Statement relating to the
               Transaction for each Partnership;

      o        Reviewed the financial statements of the Partnerships for the
               years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 and the nine months ended
               September 30, 1999;

      o        Reviewed the financial statements of McREMI and its affiliates
               for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 and the nine
               months ended September 30, 1999;


                                        3


      o        Reviewed the General Partner's estimates as of January 31, 2000
               of the modified net working capital balance of each Partnership,
               calculated in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreement:

      o        Conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries and
               investigations as we deemed appropriate.

      In rendering this opinion, we have relied, without independent
verification, on the accuracy and completeness in all material respects of all
financial and other information that was furnished or otherwise communicated to
us by McREMI, the General Partners and the Partnerships. We have not performed
an independent appraisal of the assets and liabilities of the Partnerships or
the McREMI Assets. We have not conducted any engineering studies and have relied
on the estimates of the management of McREMI with respect to deferred
maintenance and the estimated cost to remediate environmental conditions for
each Property.

      We have relied on the assurance of McREMI, the General Partners and the
Partnerships, that: (i) the Property budgets and discounted cash flow analyses
provided to us were in the judgment of McREMI, the General Partners and the
Partnerships reasonably prepared on bases consistent with actual historical
experience and reflect the best currently available estimates and good faith
judgments; (ii) any estimates of costs to remediate environmental conditions are
adequately considered in the capital expenditure estimates provided to us and
that no additional environmental conditions are present at the Properties; (iii)
any historical financial data, balance sheet data, transaction cost estimates
and estimates of the deficit restoration obligation of the general partner which
would be due upon a liquidation are accurate in all material respects; (iv) no
material changes have occurred in the information reviewed or in the value of
the Properties or the McREMI Assets between the date the information was
provided to us and the date of this letter; and (v) McREMI, the General Partners
and the Partnerships are not aware of any information or facts regarding the
Partnerships, the Properties, the McREMI Assets or the Company that would cause
the information supplied to us to be incomplete or misleading in any material
respect.

      We did not determine or negotiate the amount or form of the Aggregate
Consideration. We have not been requested to, and therefore do not: (i) make any
recommendation to McREMI, the General Partners or the Limited Partners with
respect to whether to approve or reject the Transaction; or (ii) express any
opinion as to (a) the impact of the Transaction with respect to McREMI, the
General Partners or the Limited Partners of any Partnership that does not
participate in the Transaction; (b) the tax consequences of the Transaction for
McREMI, the General Partners or the Limited Partners of any Partnership; (c) the
Company's ability to qualify as a partnership or real estate investment trust,
or the consequences of the Company's failure to so qualify; (d) the potential
capital structure of the Company or its impact on the financial performance of
the Membership Interests; (e) the Company's ability to finance its obligations
pursuant to the Master Agreement or the impact of a failure to obtain financing
on the financial performance of the Company or the Partnerships; (f) whether or
not alternative methods of determining or allocating the Aggregate Consideration
to be received by the General Partners, Limited Partners of the Partnerships or
McREMI would have also provided fair results or results substantially similar to
those of the methodology used; (g) alternatives to the Transaction; or (h) any
other terms of the Transaction

                                        4


other than each of the matters set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of the
final paragraph of this letter. Furthermore, we are not expressing any opinion
herein to Robert A. McNeil or Carole McNeil in their capacities as direct or
indirect holders of General or Limited Partner Interests in the Partnerships or
McNeil Partners, L.P. or of capital stock in McREMI. Further, we are not
expressing any opinion herein as to the fairness of any terms of the Transaction
other than as described herein, including without limitation: (i) the fairness
of the amounts or allocations of Transaction costs, or (ii) the prices at which
the Membership Interests in the Company may trade, if at all, following the
Transaction, or the trading value of the Membership Interests compared with the
current fair market value of any assets contributed to the Company in connection
with the Transaction if the Company were to be liquidated in the current real
estate market.

      This letter does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses
performed or the matters considered in rendering our opinion. The analyses and
the summary set forth herein must be considered as a whole, and selecting
portions of such summary or analyses, without considering all factors and
analyses, would create an incomplete view of the processes underlying this
opinion. In rendering this opinion, judgment was applied to a variety of complex
analyses and assumptions. The assumptions made and the judgments applied in
rendering the opinion are not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary
description. The fact that any specific analysis is referred to herein is not
meant to indicate that such analysis was given greater weight than any other
analysis.

      Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the
date of this letter, each of the matters set forth in the following clauses (i)
through (iv) is fair from a financial point of view to the holders of each class
of Limited Partner Interests in each Partnership: (i) the portion of the
Aggregate Consideration allocated to the General Partner Interests in each
Partnership; (ii) the Second McREMI Allocated Value for each Partnership; (iii)
the Limited Partner Consideration Amount for each class of Limited Partner
Interests in each Partnership; and (iv) the sum of the estimated per unit
Limited Partner Consideration Amount and Excess Cash Balance with respect to
each class of Limited Partner Interests for each Partnership, based on the
General Partner's estimates as of January 31, 2000 of the modified net working
capital balance of each Partnership, calculated in accordance with the terms of
the Master Agreement.

Yours truly,
