          (a) Any Event of Default arising under Section 17.1(j) of the Loan

          Agreement for the compliance period ending March 31, 1998. (d) Any
          Event of Default existing as of the date hereof arising under Section

          Section 17.1(j) of the Loan Agreement in so far as such Event of
          Default results from one or more cross-defaults under any of the
          Credit Agreements resulting from a default of a financial covenant
          under any of the Credit Agreements.

          (f) Any Event of Default resulting from Borrower's failure to comply
          with Section 13.9 of the Loan Agreement or any similar provision of
          any of the Credit Agreements in the period from and including June 30,
          1997 through and including the date hereof.
