modification of certain terms of the Loan Documents in the manner herein
provided.

follows:

interest thereon, shall be due and payable and the Revolving Line of
Credit Loan shall terminate on the earlier of: (i) May 1, 1999, or
(ii) acceleration of the Obligations upon an Event of Default (the
earlier of such dates being the "Revolving Line of Credit Termination
Date").
(b) Section 7.1 is modified by adding thereto the following sentence:
Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 7.1 or in this Agreement
to the contrary, Borrower may undertake an acquisition of Xxxxx Xxxx
