                                       1
<PAGE>

to the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety in the
form of Schedule 1 to this First Amendment.

     1.4   Certain Borrowing Base Limitations.  Sections 5.5 and 5.6 of the
Credit Agreement shall be amended to read in full as follows:

           "Section 5.5. Additional Restrictions Regarding Borrowing Base.
     Without in any way limiting the discretion of Banks in establishing the
     Borrowing Base pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof, NationsBank, N.A.,
     the sole Bank as of the effective date of the First Amendment, may, in its
     sole discretion, require, as a condition to any increase in the Borrowing
     Base above $50,000,000, that its Commitment and its interest in the
     outstanding Obligations, be syndicated to one or more additional Banks
     pursuant to Assignments in the manner contemplated by Section 14.10 hereof.
     Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in order to complete such syndication
     on terms and conditions acceptable to NationsBank, N.A., Agent may
     determine that it is necessary to amend this Agreement to, among other
     things, increase the Applicable Margin in effect hereunder and to increase,
     or provide for, additional commitment fees, borrowing base increase fees,
     underwriting fees, syndication fees and other fees and compensation to
     Agent and Banks hereunder (any such amendment is referred to herein as a
     "Syndication Amendment"). Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if
     NationsBank, N.A. notifies Borrower that (a) NationsBank, N.A. will require
     a syndication of its Commitment and the Obligations as a condition to
     approving a Borrowing Base of greater than $50,000,000, and (b) Agent, in
     its sole discretion, determines that it is necessary or appropriate to
     achieve a successful syndication, Borrower will enter into a Syndication
     Amendment in form and on terms mutually acceptable to Borrower,
     NationsBank, N.A., the Agent and any proposed syndicate Banks, and no
     Borrowing Base greater than $50,000,000 will be effective until such
     Syndication Amendment is fully executed and such syndication has been
     completed. In addition to the foregoing, but also without in any way
     limiting the discretion of the Banks in establishing the Borrowing Base
     pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof, no Borrowing Base equal to or
     exceeding $10,000,000 will be approved unless, prior to the effective date
     of any such Borrowing Base, Agent shall have been provided with an opinion
     of Haynes & Boone, L.L.P., counsel for Borrower, favorably opining as to
     the enforceability of each of the Loan Papers and otherwise in form and
     substance satisfactory to Agent and Banks."

          Section 5.6. Publicity Regarding Total Commitment Amount. Borrower
     agrees that at any time the Borrowing Base is less than the amount of the
     Total Commitment, Borrower will not issue any press release or make any
     other public statement or disclosure (including without limitation any
     filing with the Securities Exchange Commission) which contains a
     description of, or other reference to, the credit facility or the amount
     thereof, unless such
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     press release, public statement or other public disclosure clearly states
     that such credit facility and the Commitments of the Banks are subject to
     the Borrowing Base. In no event will Borrower issue any press release, or
     make any public or private statement or disclosure which indicates or
     implies that the Banks have any commitment to lend or provide credit
     hereunder in an amount greater than the Borrowing Base in effect from time
     to time."

     1.5   Amendment to Change of Control  Provisions.  A new Section 5.7 shall
be added to the Credit Agreement which shall read in full as follows:

           "SECTION 5.7 Change of Control Default. On or before the date of the
     first Redetermination of the Borrowing Base after the Effective Date of the
     First Amendment, Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement
     in form and substance acceptable to Required Banks pursuant to which
     Section 12.1 shall be amended to include as an Event of Default thereunder
     a change of control of certain of Borrower's outstanding voting securities
     as more particularly specified in such amendment."

Agreement shall be amended to delete the last sentence thereof.
