                    KRUPP INSURED PLUS-II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP


              SECOND AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP


       SECOND AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP dated as of June 17,
1987 to amend agreement of limited partnership dated as of April 27, 1987 as
previously amended by the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
dated as of May 29, 1987 (the "Agreement").

       1. Section 6.1(d) of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

       (d)  ACCEPTANCE OF UNITHOLDERS. The General Partners' right to accept as
            Unitholders prospective transferees of Depositary Receipts is more
            fully set forth in Section 7.2 hereof. The General Partners shall
            have the right to accept as initial Unitholders such Persons
            (including the General Partners and their Affiliates) as may acquire
            at least 250 Units or, in the case of IRAs and Keogh Plans, 100
            Units, up to an aggregate of not fewer than 250,000 Units (not
            including Units purchased by the General Partners and their
            Affiliates) and not more than 15,000,000 Units. Persons desiring to
            become initial Unitholders shall comply with the subscription
            procedures established by the General Partners. Every subscription
            shall be subject to acceptance by the General Partners. If
            subscriptions are not received and accepted respecting not fewer
            than 250,000 Units (excluding Units subscribed for by the General
            Partners and their Affiliates), the initial closing of the sale of
            Units shall occur. The General Partners will accept or reject each
            subscription for Units within 30 days after they receive it; if
            rejected, all subscription payments which accompanied such rejected
            subscription shall be returned forthwith to the subscriber. If the
            Subscriber Signature Page submitted by or on behalf of a prospective
            investor is incomplete or otherwise defective, and the deficiency is
            not corrected, the General Partners will reject the subscription
            approximately 15 days after it was received by the Partnership. If a
            subscription is rejected by the General Partners due to such a
            deficiency or for any other reason, the subscription payment (or
            appropriate portion thereof in the case of a partial acceptance)
            will be promptly returned to the prospective investor without
            interest or deduction. No General Partner or Affiliate of a General
            Partner or any underwriter, dealer or salesman of Units shall
            directly or indirectly pay or award any finder's fee, commission or
            other compensation to any Person engaged by a potential Unitholder
            for investment advice as an inducement to such advisor to advise the
            purchase of Units; provided, however, that this provision shall not
            prohibit the normal sales commission and sales incentive payable to
            a registered broker-dealer or other properly licensed Person for
            selling Units. Within 15 days after a successful completion of the
            minimum offering, the

                                      -1-

            Subscription Prices for such Units shall be contributed in cash to
            the Partnership, the Corporate Limited Partner shall receive the
            Limited Partner Interests corresponding to such Units, the
            assignment to the Unitholders and their contractual rights under
            Section 7.6 (b) hereof with respect to such Units shall commence and
            the General Partners shall prepare and file an amendment to the
            Certificate of Limited Partnership which shall reflect the
            contribution to the Partnership of the Subscription Price of such
            Units. Thereafter, Subscription Prices will be contributed to the
            Partnership as described above until the termination of the offering
            of the Units. The General Partners shall prepare and file from time
            to time during the offering of Units, and at least once every 30
            days, further amendments to the Certificate of Limited Partnership
            to reflect the increase of the Capital Contribution of the Corporate
            Limited Partner on behalf of the Unitholders. Depositary Receipts
            with respect to the Units sold shall be delivered to the Unitholders
            within 45 days after the termination of the offering. Until
            acceptance of their subscriptions by the General Partners,
            subscribers will not be Unitholders, but their subscription payments
            will be held in trust on their behalf and will be returned to the
            subscribers in the event they are not accepted as Unitholders.

       2. Section 7.6 (a) of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

       7.6  RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CORPORATE LIMITED PARTNER AND UNITHOLDERS;
            DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS.

       (a)  ISSUANCE OF DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS. Upon the contribution of the
            Subscription Price for a Unit to the capital of the Partnership
            under Sections 5.2 and 6.1(d) hereof, the Corporate Limited Partner
            shall receive the Limited Partner Interest corresponding to such
            Unit, the assignment to the Unitholder and his contractual rights
            under Section 7.6 (b) hereof shall commence and the Units will be
            deemed deposited by the Unitholders with the Depositary. The
            Depositary Receipts will be issued by the Depositary and a
            Depositary Receipt registered in the name of the Unitholder shall be
            delivered to the Unitholder within 45 days after the termination of
            the offering. Receipts will be issued in registered form only,
            except in the case of the Reinvestment Agent and except as may
            otherwise be permitted by the General Partners in their sole
            discretion. The Corporate Limited Partner shall act as Depositary
            with respect to all Units. By subscribing for a Unit and by the
            General Partners' acceptance of such subscription, a Unitholder
            shall be deemed to have assented to all the terms and conditions of
            this Agreement.

                                      -2-

       3.   Except as specifically set forth above, the Agreement shall remain
            in full force and effect unless and until it shall be further
            amended in accordance with the provisions thereof.

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Second
Amendment to Agreement of Limited Partnership on the first date specified above.
