                     quarter thereafter,

        For purposes of this Agreement, 'Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio' means

        EBITDA less the net loss incurred on sales of fixed assets) divided by 
        (b) the sum of (i) interest and tax expense, (ii) dividends paid, 
        (iii) current portion of long-term debt, (iv) current portion of 
        capital leases, and (v) the difference between (A) the total price of 
        fixed assets purchased and (B) the total principal amount of loans and
        capital leases incurred to finance such purchases and the total amount
        of cash proceeds realized from any sales of fixed assets; 'EBITDA' 
        means earnings before interest and tax expense, depreciation, 
        amortization, and other non-cash charges.  This ratio shall be 
        calculated quarterly using a Four Quarter Rolling Basis.  'Four 
        Quarter Rolling Basis' shall mean the four quarters calculated using 
        the results of the fiscal quarter then most recently ended and the 
        immediately preceding three (3) quarters."

following covenant of the Agreement for the fiscal period ending November 1,
1993:
