            There will be no pricing adjustment prior to May 1, 2000 (the
"Adjustment Date"). The initial review for pricing adjustment will occur
following receipt of the Borrowers' financial statements delivered pursuant to
Section 7.2(a) for Fiscal Year 2000. Thereafter, rate adjustments based on the
Pricing Grid will be made following receipt from the Borrowers of the financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b), and of a request for
a rate adjustment accompanied by a schedule reflecting the appropriate
calculation.

            Quarterly adjustments based on the Pricing Grid shall occur 45 and
90 days after the end of the quarter or year-end, as appropriate, based on the
financial statements for the corresponding periods respectively.

            Solely for the purposes of calculating Consolidated Funded Debt
Ratio under this Pricing Grid for the first Fiscal Quarter of Fiscal Year 2001
and any subsequent Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, Consolidated Funded Debt shall
include the Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding on the date of
determination.
