                         INSIGNIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

                             401(K) RESTORATION PLAN

                                 Amendment No. 2

         Pursuant to Section 21, the Plan is hereby amended, effective December
19, 2001, as follows:

         1.  Section 6 is amended by deleting the current provision in its
entirety and substituting in its place the following new provision:

               6. MATCHING CREDITS. An Executive's Account shall be credited
          each year with an Employer matching credit in such amount, if any, as
          the Employer's Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion,
          authorize for that year.

         2.  Section 10 is amended by adding to the end thereof the following
new distribution provision:

              In-Service Distributions.

              (a) Financial Hardship. The Committee may, in its sole discretion,
              authorize an in-service withdrawal on account of an Executive's
              unforeseeable emergency. For this purpose, an unforeseeable
              emergency means an unanticipated emergency that is caused by an
              event beyond the control of the Executive and that would result in
              severe financial hardship to the Executive if early withdrawal
              were not permitted. The amount that may be paid on account of
              hardship is limited to the amount necessary to meet the emergency.
              This amount shall be distributed from the Executive's Account as
              soon as administratively practicable following the Committee's
              approval of the distribution.

              (b) Non-Financial Hardship. At the request of an Executive, the
              Committee may, in its discretion, approve a distribution for any
              reason and for any amount from an Executive's Account provided
              that the Account value is permanently and irrevocably reduced by
              the lesser of (1) $50,000 or (2) 10 percent of the amount of the
              withdrawal.

              (c) Beneficiary Distributions. In the event an Executive is
              deceased and payments are being made to his beneficiary in
              installment payments, such payments may be withdrawn earlier than
              the scheduled distribution dates in accordance with the terms and
              conditions in (a) and (b), treating the beneficiary for this
              purpose as an Executive would be treated for purposes of
              in-service withdrawals.

<PAGE>

              (d) Limitation on Timing of In- Service Distributions.
              Distributions under (a), (b), and (c) above are permitted only
              during December of each year, provided that the Committee, in its
              sole discretion, may authorize distributions at other times of the
              year pursuant to such rules as it may prescribe.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this plan amendment as of
December 19, 2001.

         Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors and the performance of the
         Credit Agreement, as amended and modified by this Amendment, and the
         other Loan Documents, do not and will not violate any law, rule or
         regulation, or constitute a breach of the Articles of Incorporation,
         Bylaws or corporate resolutions of the Borrower or any Subsidiary
         Guarantor or any agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary
         Guarantor is a party or by which its or their assets are bound. The
         Borrower and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors has the power and
         authority and has taken all necessary action to authorize the
         execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment. The Credit
         Agreement, as amended and modified by this Amendment, and the other

                  (c)      No Default or Event of Default exists.

         V.       GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         (a) Limited Amendment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Credit
Agreement and each other Loan Document shall continue to be, and shall remain,
in full force and effect. This Amendment shall not be deemed (i) to be a waiver
of, or consent to, or a modification or amendment of, any other term or
condition of the Credit Agreement or of any other term or condition of the other
Loan Documents or (ii) to prejudice any other right or rights which the Agents
or any Lender may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with
the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any of the instruments or
agreements referred to therein, as the same may be amended or modified from time
to time.

parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.

Documents, this Amendment shall control.

other Loan Document, to the terms "Credit Agreement" or "Agreement" or other
similar reference shall be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended or
modified by this Amendment. In addition, all notices, requests, certificates and
other instruments executed and delivered after the execution and delivery of
this Amendment may refer to the Credit Agreement without making specific
reference to this Amendment, but nevertheless all such references shall include
this amendment of the Credit Agreement unless the context otherwise requires.

         (h) Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Amendment any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
successors and assigns of such party and all covenants, provisions and
agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower which are contained in this Amendment

Lenders.
