Item 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

          Item 3 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

          As of July 17, 1990, Capital Partners, Capital Partners International,
the Issuer and Equity Holdings Limited, an Illinois limited partnership ("Equity
Holdings") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement").
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Capital Partners agreed to acquire 1,820,189
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for an aggregate purchase price of
$45,729,725, and Capital Partners International agreed to acquire 170,811 shares
of Common Stock of the Issuer for an aggregate purchase price of $4,270,275.
The Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 7(2) and is incorporated
herein by this reference.  The purchase of shares of Common Stock pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement closed on August 30, 1990.  The funds used by Capital
Partners and Capital Partners International to pay their respective portions of
the purchase price were obtained by each such partnership from capital
contributions made by their respective partners pursuant to pre-existing capital
commitments.

          On December 31, 1991 Redwood Partners acquired 65,696 shares of Common
Stock previously held by Capital Partners International.  The shares were
contributed to Redwood Partners by its general and limited partner,
respectively.  The limited partner of Redwood Partners, Vencap Holdings (1987)
Pte. Ltd. ("Vencap") acquired the 65,039 shares of Common Stock that it
contributed to Redwood Partners from H&F Investment Capital International, Inc.,
a British Virgin Islands international business company (the "Investment
Partner") and one of the partners in Capital Partners International, in
redemption of Vencap's capital stock in the Investment Partner.  The Investment
Partner in turn had acquired such securities by means of a distribution from
Capital Partners International.  The balance of the shares acquired by Redwood
Partners (657 shares of Common Stock) were contributed to it by Investors, L.P.
Investors, L.P.

in turn received such shares as a capital contribution from its partners, who
had in turn received such shares by means of a distribution from Capital
Partners International to Capital Management International, and from Capital
Management International to its partners (and, in the case of Messrs. Hellman
and Friedman, by means of a further distribution to these revocable trusts by
Management International, Inc., which they immediately contributed to Investors,
Inc.).  The foregoing transactions are more particularly described in the Asset
Transfer Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 7(4).

          All of the shares of Common Stock acquired from the Issuer pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement were sold back to the Issuer pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of August 25, 1995 (the "Exchange Agreement") in
consideration of the delivery by the Issuer to Capital Partners, Capital
Partners International and Redwood Partners of 1,609,686, 92,501, and 57,813
shares of common stock of The Vigoro Corporation, respectively, which shares
were previously held by the Issuer.  A copy of the Exchange Agreement is
attached hereto as Exhibit 7(5).

Item 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

          Item 4 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

          Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement each of Capital Partners,
Capital Partners International and Redwood Partners have sold all of their
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.  Further, the Reporting Persons have
entered into an agreement titled "Waiver and Termination of Certain
Agreements" (the "Termination Agreement") attached as Exhibit 7(7) hereto,
which provides for the termination of the Purchase Agreement and related
agreements between the parties thereto, but for provisions relating to
indemnification rights of certain of the Reporting Persons.  Pursuant to the
Exchange Agreement and the Termination Agreement, the Reporting Persons have
surrendered, among other rights, the right to nominate director for election
to the Issuer's board.

Item 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          Items 5(a) and (b) are amended by deleting the beneficial ownership

     4.6   DISTRIBUTION INTENTION.  Each Purchaser is acquiring the Vigoro
Shares for its own account and with no intention of distributing or
re-selling the Vigoro Shares (or any part thereof) in any transaction that
would violate the securities laws of the United States of America or any
state, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser's right at all times to
sell or otherwise dispose of all (or any part) of the Vigoro Shares pursuant
to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
under applicable state laws, or under any exemption from applicable
registration requirements.

     4.7   SOPHISTICATION; ABILITY TO BEAR LOSS; ACCESS TO INFORMATION.  Each
Purchaser acknowledges that (i) it has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of
evaluating the risks and merits of its investment in the Vigoro Shares and
(ii) it is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and is able to
afford the complete loss of its investment. Each Purchaser has had the
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Vigoro concerning
Vigoro's business, operations and financial condition and has received from
Vigoro all such information as has been requested in order to evaluate the
risks and merits of the prospective investment contemplated herein.

     This WAIVER AND TERMINATION OF CERTAIN AGREEMENTS (this "Waiver") is made

Limited, an Illinois limited partnership ("Equity"), Hellman & Friedman
Capital Partners, a California Limited Partnership ("H&F"), H&F Redwood

     WHEREAS, Equity, H&F, and H&F Int'l are parties to a Stock Purchase
Agreement dated July 17, 1990 (the "GAMI Stock Purchase Agreement") wherein
Equity, on the one hand, and H&F and H&F Int'l, on the other hand, granted to
each other certain rights;

     WHEREAS, H&F Redwood was made a party to the GAMI Stock Purchase
Agreement by operation of the Transfer and Consent Agreement dated December
31, 1991 by and among Equity, H&F Int'l, H&F Redwood and Great American
Management and Investment, Inc. ("GAMI") (the "Transfer and Consent
Agreement");

     WHEREAS, none of the parties hereto have conveyed, assigned, or
transferred any such rights and the parties desire to waive, cancel and
terminate any and all such rights granted to each other under the Stock
Purchase Agreement;

     WHEREAS, the Zell Trust, the Lurie Trust, Equity, H&F and H&F Int'l are
parties to an Agreement dated August 30, 1990 (the "Partnership Rights

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the promises
