                (a)     Paragraphs  (b) and  (c) of  Section 1 of the  Agreement
are  hereby  amended to read in their entirety as follows:

                      (b)     If CHCC  notifies  the  Partnership  in writing of

                              date upon  which the Option is  exercised  (and if
                              the  Partnership  does not object to such exercise
                              pursuant  to  Section 3 hereof),  the  Partnership

                              Agreement,  an amount  equal to the  lesser of (x)
                              $2,000,000  and (y) such  portion of the cash that
                              the  Partnership  then  has  on  hand  as  is  not
                              required  by the  Partnership  to pay its  current
                              operating  expenses  (together  with a  reasonable
                              reserve  therefor)  (the  amount  so  paid  by the
                              Partnership   pursuant   to  clause  (i)  of  this
                              sentence being referred to as the "Contribution"),
                              and (ii) no later  than 14 days  after  payment of
                              the Purchase Price to the Escrow Agent pursuant to
                              Section  2.3 of the Option  Agreement,  deposit in
                              the  Distributing  Trust such  portion of the cash
                              that  the  Partnership  then  has on  hand  (after
                              making the payment  provided  for in clause (i) of
                              this   sentence)   as  is  not   required  by  the
                              Partnership to pay its current operating  expenses
                              (together with a reasonable  reserve therefor) and
                              does not exceed the  amount to be  deposited  (the
                              "Required   Amount")  in  the  Distributing  Trust
                              pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Escrow  Agreement;
                              provided,  however,  that,  if  the  amount  to be
                              deposited  by the  Partnership  pursuant to clause
                              (ii) of this  sentence  is less than the  Required
                              Amount,   then  the  Partnership   shall  have  no
                              obligation  to make  such  deposit  unless  it has
                              received  from CHCC a written  certification  that
                              CHCC or CPPI has deposited  with the  Distributing
                              Trust  an  amount  equal  to  the  excess  of  the
                              Required Amount over the amount to be deposited by
                              the  Partnership  pursuant to clause (ii) (and the
                              Partnership and CHCC shall consult with each other
                              to assure  that their  respective  deposits  under
                              this proviso are made in the  appropriate  amounts
                              and on a timely basis).

                      (c)     If  CHCC   gives  the   Partnership   the   notice
                              contemplated  by  Section  1(b) and if the  Escrow
                              Agent delivers the  Assignment  Instrument to CHCC
                              pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Escrow  Agreement,
                              then  paragraph  (ii)  under  Section  1(b) of the
                              Third  Amendment   shall,   upon  receipt  of  all
                              necessary  approvals,  be  amended  to change  the
                              dollar amount  therein,  as amended as provided in
                              Section 1(a) hereof, from $39,320,000 to an amount
                              equal to the sum of (x)  $39,320,000  plus (y) the
                              excess,  if any,  of (i) the  quotient  of (A) the
                              Purchase  Price  divided  by (B) two over (ii) the
                              Contribution.

                  (b)  Section 3 of the Agreement  is hereby amended  to read in
its entirety as follows:

                      3.      As an inducement  for the  Partnership  to execute
                              the Option Agreement, it is agreed that CHCC shall
                              not exercise the Option  unless,  at least 30 days
                              before the date on which CHCC  intends to exercise
                              the  Option,  CHCC  gives  written  notice of such
                              intent to the Partnership and the Partnership does
                              not,  within  such 30-day  period,  notify CHCC in
                              writing of its objection to such exercise.

         2. This Amendment  shall be  governed by, and construed under, the laws
of the State of New York.

         3. Except as provided herein, all provisions, terms  and conditions  of
the Agreement shall  remain in  full force  and effect.  As amended  hereby, the
Agreement is ratified and confirmed in all respects.

         4. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts,  each of
which will be deemed an original,  but all of which together will constitute one
and the same agreement.

                  IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the  parties  hereto  have  caused  this
Amendment to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
