OF
PLM EQUIPMENT GROWTH FUND III
This Second Amendment ("Amendment") to the Amended and Restated Limited
Partnership Agreement ("Agreement") of PLM Equipment Growth Fund III
("Partnership") is executed as of November 21, 1996, by its general partner, PLM
Financial Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("General Partner"), pursuant

RECITALS
The Partners entered into a Limited Partnership Agreement as of October
15, 1987, a First Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement as of
February 9, 1988 and a Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement
as of March 10, 1988.
The General Partner now amends the Agreement, pursuant to Article
XVIII, paragraph two, subsections (i) and (ii), to add for the benefit of the
Limited Partners, to the General Partner's representations and obligations, to
cure any ambiguity or to correct any inconsistency that may exist among Sections
6.01, 6.02 and 9.02 of the Agreement. In executing this Amendment the General
Partner represents, warrants and agrees, and will take all action to ensure,
that this Amendment does not, and will not, detrimentally affect the Cash
Distributions of the Limited Partners or assignees or the management of the
Partnership by the General Partner.
Now, therefor, the Agreement is amended as follows:
1. Section 6.02 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"The General Partner shall not transfer its interest as General Partner
in the Partnership (which transfer shall be deemed as "withdrawal" of the
General Partner for purposes of Section 9.02) or its interest in the
Partnership's capital, earnings or assets (except in connection with the pledge
of the General Partner's assets or right in connection with loans or other
indebtedness) except (a) upon the approval of a majority in interest of the
Limited Partners, or (b) to an Affiliate upon its merger, consolidation with
another person or its transfer pursuant to a reorganization of all or
substantially all of its assets to another person, and the assumption of the
rights and duties of the General Partner by such Person; provided, however, that
such successor or transferee shall on the date of such transfer, merger,
consolidation or reorganization assume all of the duties and obligations of the
General Partner set forth in this Agreement."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the General Partner has duly executed this
Amendment as of November 21, 1996.
