Acting on behalf of Realty ReFund Trust ("RRF"), as the controlling general

the independent Trustees of RRF approved the exercise by RRFLP of its option to
acquire the 185-suite InnSuites Hotel located in Buena Park, California (the

1998, among James F. Wirth, Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and
Trustee of RRF, Steven S. Robson, and RRFLP, which is attached hereto as Exhibit
2.1.

Subsequent to the June 9, 1998 RRFLP exercise of its option, Mr. Robson was
elected to be a Trustee by the Shareholders of RRF at the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders held on June 16, 1998.

Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, Mr. Wirth and Mr. Robson
contributed their membership interests in Buena Park LLC to the capital of
RRFLP. The total consideration under the Contribution Agreement was Seven
Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,100,000), paid by RRFLP as follows:
payment of closing costs and the assumption of the Hotel's accounts payable (net

Six Hundred Twenty-Six Dollar ($3,384,626) mortgage on Buena Park LLC property
payable to Cathay Bank; 311,326 Class B Partnership Units in RRFLP (or, at the
option of RRF, of up to $825,000 worth of shares of RRF) delivered to Mr. Wirth;
311,326 Class A Partnership Units in RRFLP (or, at the option of Mr. Robson,
shares of RRF) delivered to Mr. Robson; 5,400 Class A Partnership Units in RRFLP
delivered to Mr. Marc Berg, a Trustee of RRF,$4,275 delivered to Mr. Kevin Fell,

of advances made by InnSuites Hotels LLC to Buena Park LLC.

RRFLP also agreed that for a period of one year following the completion of a
public offering of Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) or more by RRF, Mr.
Wirth, Mr. Robson and InnSuites Hotels LLC shall each have the right to cause
RRFLP to redeem, for cash, certain amounts of the RRFLP Units received by them,
pursuant to formulas described in the Contribution Agreement. The total
