          WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual

          2.   Merger of Sub into Parent.  

          Prior to the Effective Time, in accordance with the

          3.   Certain Bankruptcy-related Matters.

          (a)  The final sentence of Section 4.2(h)(i) shall

so as to allow the Joint Plan for Borrower" the phrase "or any
Alternative Chapter 11 Plan (as defined below)" and (ii) by
deleting the words "February 29, 1996" and replacing such
words with the words "March 31, 1996."

          (b)  The second sentence of Section 5.2(e) shall be
amended and restated as follows:

          The maximum amount to be provided (or assumed) by
          RCPI under the Joint Plan for Borrower or under any
          Alternative Chapter 11 Plan to be used to fund
          liabilities of the Borrower or its estate shall not
          exceed (x) $20 million (exclusive of the debtor-in-

          administrative expenses, claims entitled to priority
          under the Bankruptcy Code, cure payments relating to

          Plan for Borrower or an Alternative Chapter 11
          Plan), subject to the right to object to such claims
          as provided for under the Joint Plan for Borrower or
          an Alternative Chapter 11 Plan.

          (c)  In addition to the conditions to the
obligations of Parent and each of the Investors set forth in
Section 5.2, the obligations of Parent and each of the
Investors under the Merger Agreement to consummate the
transactions contemplated thereby are subject to the
satisfaction of the condition that all conditions to the
occurrence of the effective date of the Joint Plan for
Borrower or an Alternative Chapter 11 Plan shall have been
satisfied or waived.

          4.   GSMC Loans.

          (a)  Section 4.4(b) shall be amended by adding the

          "plus (C) $2.5 million to pay Permitted Expenses if
          the Closing Date shall not have occurred on or
          before March 31, 1996,".

          (b)  Section 4.4(b) shall be further amended by

          amount sufficient to pay all interest that will
          become due from RCPI to Whitehall and GSMC on or
          before April 30, 1996 shall be available only to pay
          such interest".

          (c)  Section 4.4(b) shall be further amended by
replacing the words "March 31, 1996" in the proviso in the
second sentence thereof with the words "April 30, 1996".

          5.   Satisfaction of Certain Conditions.

          The parties acknowledge and agree that the
conditions to the obligations of Parent and each Investor to

Agreement set forth in Sections 5.2(j) and (k) have been
satisfied.

within the meaning of Section 5.2(c).

          7.   Termination Date.

          Section 6.1(d) shall be amended by deleting the
words "March 31, 1996" from the first clause thereof, and
replacing such words with the words "April 30, 1996."
