(1)     The Dealer Manager may authorize certain other broker-dealers who are
        members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., to sell
        Interests on a "best efforts" basis. In the event of sale by such other
        broker-dealers, the Dealer Manager has advised the Partnership that the
        Dealer Manager will pay to such other broker-dealers all or a portion of
        its commission from such sales.

(2)     See "The Offering" for a discussion of the reduction in selling
        commissions payable with respect to sales to one purchaser or more than
        25 Interests or with respect to sales to officers, directors, partners,
        employees or Affiliates of the General Partners or their Affiliates.

(3)     The NASAA Guidelines require that, at a minimum, an amount equal to the
        greater of (i) 67% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions or
        (ii) 80% of such capital contributions reduced by .1625% for each 1% of
        indebtedness encumbering the Partnership's properties be committed to
        investment in properties. Investment in properties, as defined under the
        NASAA Guidelines, is the amount of capital contributions actually paid
        or allocated to the purchase, development, construction or improvement
        of properties acquired by the Partnership (including working capital
        reserves not in excess of 5% of gross offering proceeds). The remaining
        capital contributions not invested in properties are available for the
        payment of Organizational and Offering Expenses, selling commissions,
        acquisition fees and acquisition expenses. Acquisition fees for this
        purpose shall be the total of all fees and commissions paid by any party
        in connection with the purchase or development of property by the
        Partnership, including real estate commissions, acquisition fees,
        selection fees, development fees, non-recurring management fees, or any
        fees of a similar nature, however designated, but excluding a
        development fee paid to a person not affiliated with the General
        Partners or their Affiliates in connection with actual development of
        property after acquisition by the Partnership. Acquisition expenses for
        this purpose include, but are not limited to, legal fees and expenses,
        travel and communication expenses, costs of appraisals, loan commitment
        and loan fees ("points"), nonrefundable option payments on properties
        not acquired, accounting fees and expenses, title insurance, and
        miscellaneous expenses related to selection and acquisition of
        properties, whether or not acquired. It is anticipated that the
        Partnership will not pay any acquisition fees to the General Partners or
        their Affiliates and the total of acquisition fees to all parties and
        acquisition expenses will not exceed 1% of the Limited Partners' capital
        contributions. Based on these assumptions and assuming the sale of
        30,000 Interests with Organizational and Offering Expenses and selling
        commissions equal to 11.5% of the Limited Partners' capital
        contributions, the amount that would be invested in properties would be
        equal to 87.5% of such contributions. The amount invested in Partnership
        properties will comply with the NASAA Guidelines limitations set forth
        above.

(4)     An Affiliate of the General Partners may purchase property in its own
        name (and assume loans in connection therewith) and temporarily hold
        title thereto for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of such
        property or the borrowing of money or obtaining of financing for the
        Partnership, or any other purpose related to the business of the
        Partnership, provided that such property is purchased by the Partnership
        for a price no greater than the cost of such property to the Affiliate,
        and provided there is no difference in interest rates of the loans
        secured by the property at the time acquired by the Affiliate and the
        time acquired by the Partnership, nor any other benefit arising out of
        such transaction to the Affiliate apart from compensation otherwise
        permitted herein. In such event, such Affiliate may be reimbursed for
        its expenses incurred in holding such real property prior to the
        acquisition of such property by the Partnership. On March 15, 1984,
        Murray Properties Company acquired Mountain View Plaza, a shopping
        center in Scottsdale, Arizona for a purchase price of $6,392,916. If
        sufficient funds are received by the Partnership pursuant to this
        offering, the Partnership will acquire the Property from Murray
        Properties Company and Murray Properties Company will be reimbursed as
        provided herein. See "The Property."

(5)     Any prediction of such dollar amount would necessarily involve
        assumptions of future events that cannot be determined at this time.

(6)     To the extent a seller of property to the Partnership sets the sales
        price at a level sufficient to cover the premium for title insurance,
        the Partnership, in effect, will pay the premium in the purchase price
        of the property.

(7)     The Partnership has entered into nonexclusive contracts with Dallas
        Title Company and Texas Title Company, Affiliates of the General
        Partners, pursuant to which each has agreed that, upon the request of
        the Partnership, it will handle the closing of purchases, sales,
        financings or refinancings by the Partnership of properties situated in
        Texas and will cause to be issued title

                                       14
<PAGE>   6

    insurance policies on such properties. Either of such title insurance
    agencies may receive a portion of the commission on premiums paid for title
    insurance by the Partnership or by a seller of real property to the
    Partnership. In Texas, title insurance premiums and the policy forms are
    prescribed by the State. Each contract provides that if such title insurance
    agency does not derive, in any calendar year, at least 75% of its gross
    income from persons or entities not affiliated with a General Partner, that
    agency's contract will terminate upon the earlier of 60 days after the end
    of the calendar year or as soon as the Partnership can arrange for another
    person or entity to perform such services. Each contract also provides that
    it may be terminated by either party, without penalty, on 60 days' prior
    written notice and that such title insurance agency shall not render
    services or receive title insurance commissions in connection with the
    reinvestment of any proceeds from a sale or refinancing of Partnership
    properties.

(8) The Partnership has entered into an agreement with Murray Management
    Corporation, an Affiliate of the General Partners, pursuant to which Murray
    Management Corporation will be responsible for the management of each
    property and the collection of its rental income, for which services it will
    receive a monthly Property Management Fee. This Property Management Fee is
    payable for professional supervisory management services undertaken in
    connection with the operation of the Partnership's properties. Such fee
    shall include all leasing and re-leasing fees and bonuses, and
    leasing-related services, except that a separate fee may be paid for the
    one-time initial lease-up of a newly constructed property if such service is
    not included in the purchase price of the property, provided that such fee
    shall not exceed the lesser of the cost of such services or 90% of the
    competitive price that would be charged by non-affiliated persons rendering
    similar services in the same or comparable geographic location. Murray
    Management Corporation shall pay from the Property Management Fee, and not
    as an expense of the Partnership, the expenses of rendering supervisory
    property management services; provided, however, that the wages and expenses
    of on-site personnel engaged in the management, leasing and maintenance of
    the Partnership's properties and supplies, repairs, furniture, equipment
    costs and other costs directly attributable to the Partnership's property
    operations shall be deemed to be property operating expenses and as such
    shall be borne by the Partnership by reimbursement to Murray Management
    Corporation. Wages and other actual expenses of personnel may be allocated
    between properties of the Partnership and other properties managed by Murray
    Management Corporation if such properties are owned by (i) a public or
    private program sponsored by the General Partners or their Affiliates or any
    joint venture in which a General Partner or an Affiliate is a party or (ii)
    an unaffiliated third party. Murray Management Corporation has the right to
    subcontract to third parties a portion or all of the management services to
    be rendered by it with respect to any particular property, provided that (a)
    Murray Management Corporation shall at all times remain responsible for the
    management of such property, (b) the Partnership shall not be required to
    pay for duplicate services and (c) the aggregate cost to the Partnership
    will not exceed the amount which would be customarily charged in arms-length
    transactions by others rendering similar services in the locality where the
    property is located, considering the size and type of each such property, if
    only one entity had provided all such services. The agreement between the
    Partnership and Murray Management Corporation may be terminated by either
    party, without penalty, on 60 days' prior written notice.

(9) Except as set forth below, reimbursements to a General Partner or an
    Affiliate of a General Partner shall not be allowed. A General Partner or an
    Affiliate of a General Partner may be reimbursed for: (a) the actual cost of
    goods and materials used for or by the Partnership and obtained from an
    entity not affiliated with a General Partner or an Affiliate of a General
    Partner; and (b) the lesser of the cost or 90% of the competitive price
    charged by unaffiliated parties for (i) salaries and related salary expenses
    for services that could be performed directly for the Partnership by
    independent parties, including parties, including legal, accounting,
    transfer agent, data processing, duplicating and administration of investor
    accounts and (ii) Partnership reports and communications to investors. All
    such transactions shall be pursuant to the terms of a written contract

                                       15
<PAGE>   7
     between the Partnership and such General Partner or Affiliate which
     precisely describes the services to be rendered or the goods or materials
     to be provided. No reimbursement shall be permitted for services for which
     the General Partners or Affiliates receive a separate fee or for (i)
     salaries, related salary expenses, traveling expenses, and other
     administrative items which are incurred by any Controlling Person or which
     are not directly attributable to the rendering of services to the
     Partnership and (ii) any indirect expenses incurred in performing services
     for the Partnership, such as rent or depreciation, utilities, capital
     equipment, and other administrative items. "Controlling Person" for this
     purpose shall mean any person, regardless of title, who performs executive
     or senior management functions for the General Partners or Affiliates
     similar to those of officers, directors, executive management and senior
     management, or any person who either holds 5% or more equity interest in
     the General Partners or Affiliates or has the power to direct or cause the
     direction of the General Partners or Affiliates, whether through the
     ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise, or, in the
     absence of a specific role or title, any person having the power to direct
     or cause the direction of the management level employees and policies of
     the General Partners or Affiliates. It is not intended that every person
     who carries a title such as vice president, senior vice president,
     secretary or treasurer be included in the definition of Controlling Person.
     In no event shall any amount charged to the Partnership as a reimbursable
     expense by the General Partners exceed the lesser of the actual cost of
     such services or the amount which the Partnership would be required to pay
     to independent parties for comparable services. "Costs" for purposes of
     this paragraph shall include the price of goods and materials paid to
     independent third parties, and direct costs incurred by the General
     Partners or their Affiliates in the transactions, including overhead
     directly attributable to the transaction, but excluding general or
     administrative overhead. "Costs of Services" for purposes of this paragraph
     shall mean the pro rata cost of personnel, including an allocation of
     overhead directly attributable to such personnel, based on the amount of
     time such personnel spent on such services, or other method of allocation
     acceptable to the Partnership's independent certified public accountant.
     Reimbursements are also allowable for certain organizational and offering
     expenses and for the actual costs of on-site personnel engaged in the
     management, leasing and maintenance of the property of the Partnership as
     provided in note (8) above.

(10) The Partnership has entered into a nonexclusive contract with Murray
     Insurance Agency, Inc., an Affiliate of the General Partners, pursuant to
     which, upon the request of the Partnership, such agency will endeavor to
     obtain fire, casualty or similar insurance on the properties of the
     Partnership. Any commission on any casualty insurance brokered by it will
     not exceed the amount customarily received by it from the brokerage of
     comparable policies for unaffiliated persons. Before such agency brokers
     any fire, casualty or similar insurance on any property of the Partnership,
     quotes must have been received from two unaffiliated insurance brokers for
     coverage and terms and comparable to that proposed to be provided by such
     agency. No insurance will be brokered by the Partnership through such
     agency unless the cost of such insurance will be no greater than the lower
     quote of the two unaffiliated insurance agencies. The contract with Murray
     Insurance Agency, Inc. provides that if such agency does not derive at
     least 75% of its gross income from business done with persons or entities
     not affiliated with a General Partner, that agency's contract will
     terminate upon the earlier of 60 days after the end of the calendar year or
     as soon as the Partnership can arrange for another person or entity to
     perform such services. The contract also provides that it may be terminated
     by either party, without penalty, on 60 days' prior written notice. Murray
     General Agency Inc., an Affiliate of the General Partners, will receive
     commissions on insurance premiums paid to Murray Insurance Agency, Inc. by
     virtue of contractual arrangements between it and Murray Insurance Agency,
     Inc.

(11) The General Partners may open and maintain an interest-bearing
     Partnership administrative and property operating account at Murray Savings
     Association, a stock association organized under the Texas Savings and Loan
     Act. Murray Savings Association is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Murray
     Financial Corporation, an Affiliate of the General Partners. Murray Savings
     Association will pay the Partnership the highest interest rate permitted by
     law on such

                                       16

        accounts. Such accounts are insured up to a maximum of $100,000 by the
        Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC"). It is not
        anticipated that the balance of such accounts will exceed $100,000 on an
        ongoing basis except to the extent monthly property operating expenses
        have not been charged against collected rental income for any such
        month. Murray Savings Association may receive indirect compensation to
        the extent that Murray Savings Association's rate of return on the
        Partnership funds in such account exceeds the interest rate paid to the
        Partnership on such accounts. The Partnership will not be charged any
        servicing fees on this account.

(12)    It is not contemplated that a General Partner or any Affiliate of a
        General Partner will make a loan to the Partnership, but the Partnership
        Agreement permits any General Partner or any Affiliate of a General
        Partner to make a loan to the Partnership if the interest and other
        financing charges or fees on any such loan is not in excess of the
        amounts which would be charged by unaffiliated lending institutions on
        comparable loans for the same purpose in the same locality but not in
        excess of 2% over the prime rate of Mercantile National Bank at Dallas.
        Any financing charges or fees on any loan to the Partnership by a
        General Partner or an Affiliate of a General Partner will be only those
        incurred by such General Partner or Affiliate in connection with the
        making of such a loan. Neither a General Partner nor an Affiliate of a
        General Partner will make a profit from the Partnership's payment of
        financing charges or fees. No property of the Partnership shall secure
        any loan made to the Partnership by a General Partner or an Affiliate of
        a General Partner if, at the inception of the loan, any payment of
        principal or interest is to be made more than two years after the date
        of the loan.

(14)    Crozier Partners VIII, Ltd. was formed as of January 10, 1984 under The
        Texas Uniform Limited Partnership Act with Jack E. Crozier as the
        general partner and Fulton Murray, individually, Fulton Murray in his
        capacity as Trustee of the Beverly Murray Wilson Trust and Fulton Murray
        and RepublicBank Dallas, N.A. in their capacities as Trustees of a trust
        created under the Will of Owen M. Murray, Deceased, as the limited
        partners.

(15)    All real estate commissions payable to the General Partners or their
        Affiliates for real estate brokerage services in connection with sales
        of properties of the Partnership shall be cumulative but shall be paid
        only after the Limited Partners have been returned their Original
        Invested Capital from Cash Distributions from Sales or Refinancings,
        plus their Preferred Return. If an unaffiliated broker participates in
        the sale of a Partnership property, the subordination requirement will
        apply only to the commission, if any, earned by the General Partners or
        their Affiliates. The total of all real estate commissions payable to
        all parties in connection with the sale of a Partnership property shall
        not exceed a competitive real estate commission which is reasonable,
        customary and competitive in light of the size, type and location of the
        property or 6% of the sales price of the property. Real estate
        commissions payable to the General Partners or their Affiliates will be
        allocated two-thirds to the Non-corporate General Partner or its
        Affiliates and one-third to the Corporate General Partner or its
        Affiliates.

(16)    Cash Distributions from Sales or Refinancings payable to the General
        Partners (other than the 1% of Cash Distributions from Sales or
        Refinancings payable to the Non-corporate General Partner) will be
        divided two-thirds to the Non-corporate General Partner and one-third to
        the Corporate General Partner.
