set forth in Section 4.1 and 4.2 of the Credit Agreement (but without
regard to any characteristics of such Collateral that have been
disclosed to Chase on or before the making of the Loan financing or

make such assets ineligible for inclusion in the applicable borrowing
bases under the Credit Agreement), and the Loans shall immediately be
prepaid to the extent of any such excess, PROVIDED that a Loan in an
amount of up to $20,000,000 may be made on or after April 14, 1997
