          Dear Mr. and Mrs. McNeil:

                    Reference is made to the letter agreement among
          the undersigned and McNeil Investors, Inc., a copy of
          which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the "August 24th
          Letter Agreement").  Capitalized term used but not
          defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them
          in the August 24th Letter Agreement.

                    The parties to this letter agreement hereby
          agree that, except as otherwise hereafter agreed in
          writing by the such parties:

               1.   The August 24th Letter Agreement is hereby
          amended by substituting "September 12, 1995" for
          "September 7, 1995" in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 of
          such August 24th Letter Agreement.

               2.   McNeil Partners shall have the absolute right,
          from time to time through 12 o'clock noon on September
          11, 1995, to require High River to extend, and upon
          receipt of written notice from McNeil Partners, High
          River shall unconditionally extend, the expiration date
          of the Offers to Purchase and High River shall, upon
          receipt of such notice, issue a press release no later
          that the next business day announcing such extension;
          provided, however, under no circumstances shall McNeil
          Partners have the right to require High River to extend
          the expiration date of the Offers to Purchase beyond
          September 25, 1995.

               3.   Each party to this letter agreement represents
          and warrants to the other party that during the period
          commencing upon the termination of its obligations under
          Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 of the August 24th Letter
          Agreement (the "Obligations") and ending upon the
          execution of this letter agreement, it has not done any
          act which would have violated the Obligations had they
          been in effect at that time. 

               4.   Nothing in this letter agreement shall be
          deemed to be, or shall be, a waiver by either party to
          this letter agreement of the respective rights under the
          August 24th Letter Agreement.

               If the foregoing is acceptable to you, please so
          indicate by executing this letter in the space provided
          below.

                                   Very truly yours,
