Re: Krupp Realty Fund, Ltd. - III and
KRUPP REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - V
Dear Jim:
Pursuant to our discussions, I am writing to you on behalf of my
client, Krescent Partners L.L.C. and its affiliates, including Apollo Advisors
(collectively, the "Purchaser"), in connection with the tender offers (the
"Offers") commenced for units of limited partnership interests in the referenced
partnerships. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the Tender Offer Documents (as defined below).
This will confirm that the Purchaser has reconfirmed its
instructions to the Herman Group, Inc., the information agent (the "INFORMATION
AGENT") in connection with the Offers, that they are not to make any
recommendation or any representation in connection with the Offers that is not
consistent with the disclosures made in the Offers to Purchase or in the related
Letters of Transmittal dated November 21, 1996, as such documents may be amended
from time to time (the "Tender Offer Documents"). In particular, the Information
Agent has been instructed that they are not to make any statements (i) regarding
any plan by the Purchaser to remove the general partners of the partnerships, or
(ii) that are inconsistent with the Purchaser's obligations under the Standstill
Agreement, including any statements inconsistent with the Purchaser's agreement
that (a) it will not acquire or attempt to acquire more than a 25% interest in
the referenced partnerships and (b) it will vote its interests in the
Partnerships on an issue only in proportion to the votes of all other interest
holders who vote on such issue. Further, the Information Agent has been
instructed that it will only make statements with respect to the number of units
of limited partnership interest that in fact have been tendered to the
Purchaser. The Information Agent has reconfirmed to the Purchaser that they will
instruct each and
BATTLE FOWLER LLP PAGE 2
James M. Dubin, Esq. December 17, 1996
every person who is involved in soliciting tenders that they are to specifically
comply with the instructions provided by the Purchaser, and that they will
monitor such persons for this purpose on a continuing basis during the course of
the Offer.
This will also confirm that the Purchaser and the Information Agent
are currently investigating the allegations that certain unauthorized
representations may have been made to investors in the referenced partnerships
during the past two weeks, including, without limitation, the allegation that an
unauthorized representation was made to an investor in Krupp Realty Fund,
Ltd.-III on December 12, 1996. In the event you should have any further concerns
regarding, the manner in which the solicitation is being conducted, I urge you
to contact me immediately.
This will confirm further that the Purchaser understands that the
agreement by the referenced partnerships to consider the request by affiliates
of the Purchaser and American Holding I, L.P. to amend the standstill agreements
to which they are subject is specifically conditioned on the Purchaser's and the
Information Agent's absolute compliance with the statements and instructions set
forth in this letter.
Very truly yours,
