          Limited Partnership, Joseph L. Mathias, Bruce R. Spector, Capstar
          Broadcasting Partners, Inc. and BCR Holding, Inc. dated as of 
          December 9, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement")


Ladies and Gentlemen:

         This letter, when signed by each of us, will memorialize our agreement
with respect to the matters set forth herein.

         Section 4.13 of the Merger Agreement requires Benchmark to file a Form
5500 for the Benchmark Communications Disability Income Plan under the
Department of Labor's Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance Program and to
incur all costs relating to such filing. Benchmark represents and warrants to
Mergeco that it is not required to file a Form 5500 with respect to its
Disability Income Plan because (1) less than 100 persons are covered by such
Plan (and less than 100 persons were covered by such Plan at the beginning of
the Plan year) and (2) such Plan is a fully insured welfare benefit plan. Based
upon this representation, Mergeco and its affiliates agree to waive the
provisions of Section 4.13 of the Merger Agreement.
