3.     DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

       The company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard ("SFAS")
       No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, on
       January 1, 1999.  SFAS No. 133 requires that all  derivatives,  including
       foreign currency exchange  contracts,  be recognized on the balance sheet
       at fair value.  Derivatives  that are not hedges must be recorded at fair
       value  through  earnings.  If a derivative  is a hedge,  depending on the
       nature of the  hedge,  changes in the fair  value of the  derivative  are
       either offset  against the change in fair value of  underlying  assets or
       liabilities   through  earnings  or  recognized  in  other  comprehensive
       earnings until the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings.  The
       ineffective  portion  of a  derivative's  change  in fair  value is to be
       immediately recognized in earnings.

       The company recorded a net-of-tax  cumulative-effect-type loss adjustment
       of $0.4 million in accumulated other comprehensive  earnings to recognize
       at fair value all  derivatives  that are designated as cash-flow  hedging
       instruments  upon adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 1999.  This loss
       adjustment,  which the company expects to reclassify to earnings by March
       31, 2000,  consists of a $0.6 million loss related to interest rate swaps
       and a $0.2 million gain related to foreign currency options.


       Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
       ---------------------------------------------

       The  company's  activities  expose  it  to a  variety  of  market  risks,
       including the effects of changes in foreign  currency  exchange rates and
       interest rates. The financial  exposures are monitored and managed by the



                                       5
<PAGE>
       company as an integral part of its overall risk management  program.  The
       company's risk management program seeks to reduce the potentially adverse
       effects  that the  volatility  of the markets  may have on its  operating
       results.

       The company  maintains a foreign  currency risk management  strategy that
       uses derivative  instruments to protect its interests from  unanticipated
       fluctuations  in earnings and cash flows caused by volatility in currency
       exchange rates.

       The company maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that uses
       derivative  instruments to minimize significant,  unanticipated  earnings
       fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility. The company's goal is to
       maintain  a balance  between  fixed and  floating  interest  rates on its
       financings.

       By using derivative  financial  instruments to hedge exposures to changes
       in exchange rates and interest rates the company exposes itself to credit
       risk and market risk. The company manages exposure to counterparty credit
       risk by entering into derivative financial  instruments with highly rated
       institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of the
       agreement.  Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial
       instrument  that  results  from a change in  currency  exchange  rates or
       interest rates. The market risk associated with interest rate and foreign
       exchange  contracts is managed by the  establishment  and  monitoring  of
       parameters  that  limit the types and  degree of market  risk that may be
       undertaken.

       Fair Value Hedges

       Fair value hedges are hedges of  recognized  assets or  liabilities.  The
       company enters into forward exchange  contracts to hedge actual purchases
       and sales of  inventories.  The forward  contracts  used in this  program
       mature in three months or less,  consistent with the related purchase and
       sale commitments.

       Cash Flow Hedges

       Cash  flow  hedges  are  hedges  of  forecasted  transactions  or of  the
       variability  of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized
       asset or liability.  The company  purchases  foreign exchange options and
       forward  exchange  contracts  expiring  within  one  year  as  hedges  of
       anticipated   purchases  and  sales  that  are   denominated  in  foreign
       currencies.  These contracts are entered into to protect against the risk
       that the eventual cash flows  resulting  from such  transactions  will be
       adversely  affected by changes in exchange  rates.  The company also uses
       interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its variable rate  financings
       to fixed rates.

       As of June 30, 1999,  $8.5  million of deferred  net gains on  derivative
       instruments  accumulated in other comprehensive  earnings are expected to
       be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months.


       Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities
       -------------------------------------------------

       All  derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value.
       On the  date  the  derivative  contract  is  entered  into,  the  company
       designates  the  derivative  as either a fair  value or cash flow  hedge.
       Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly  effective as --
       and that is designated and qualifies as -- a fair value hedge, along with
       the loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability are recorded in current
       period  earnings  in cost of  revenues.  Changes  in the fair  value of a
       derivative  that is highly  effective  as -- and that is  designated  and
       qualifies  as -- a cash-flow  hedge are  recorded in other  comprehensive
       earnings, until the underlying transactions occur.




                                       6
<PAGE>
       The  company  formally   documents  all  relationships   between  hedging
       instruments and hedged items,  as well as its risk  management  objective
       and strategy for undertaking  various hedge items.  This process includes
       linking all  derivatives  that are designated as fair value and cash flow
       to specific  assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to forecasted
       transactions.  The company also  formally  assesses,  both at the hedge's
       inception and on an ongoing basis,  whether the derivatives that are used
       in hedging  transactions  are highly  effective in offsetting  changes in
       fair value or cash flows of hedged items.  When it is  determined  that a
       derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be
       a highly  effective  hedge,  the company  discontinues  hedge  accounting
       prospectively, as discussed below.

       The company  discontinues  hedge accounting  prospectively when (1) it is
       determined that a derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes
       in the fair  value or cash  flows of a hedged  item;  (2) the  derivative
       expires or is sold,  terminated,  or exercised or (3) the  derivative  is
       discontinued  as a  hedge  instrument,  because  it is  unlikely  that  a
       forecasted transaction will occur.

       When hedge  accounting is discontinued  because it is determined that the
       derivative  no longer  qualifies  as an effective  fair value hedge,  the
       derivative  will  continue to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair
       value. When hedge accounting is discontinued  because it is probable that
       a forecasted  transaction will not occur, the derivative will continue to
       be carried on the balance  sheet at its fair value,  and gains and losses
       that were accumulated in other comprehensive  earnings will be recognized
       immediately  in  earnings.   In  all  other  situations  in  which  hedge
       accounting is  discontinued,  the derivative  will be carried at its fair
       value on the balance sheet,  with changes in its fair value recognized in
       current-period earnings.

4.     STOCK SPLIT

       At the company's  Annual Meeting of  Stockholders  on April 29, 1999, the
       stockholders  approved an increase in the number of authorized  shares of
       its Class A common stock from 160 million to 450 million shares.

       On April 29, 1999, the company  announced a two-for-one  stock split. The
       stock split was effected in the form of a stock dividend on June 10, 1999
       and entitled  each  stockholder  of record on May 20, 1999 to receive one
       share of Class A common stock for each share of Class A common stock held
       on the record date.  All share and per share data included in this filing
       have been restated to reflect this stock split.

5.     STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

       On April 29, 1999, the company received  authorization  from its board of
       directors to repurchase an additional  $200 million of its Class A common
       stock for a total  repurchase  authority of $800 million.  The repurchase
       authority  allows the company at  management's  discretion to selectively
       repurchase  its  stock  in the open  market  or in  privately  negotiated
       transactions  depending upon market price and other  factors.  As of June
       30, 1999, the company had repurchased 23,371,628 shares at prices ranging
       from  $10.63  to  $55.85  for an  aggregate  cost of  approximately  $527
       million.

Item 2.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of Results of  Operations  and
         Financial Condition (Unaudited)

               LEXMARK INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Consolidated  revenues  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1999  were $817
million,  an increase of 17% over the same period of 1998.  Total U.S.  revenues
were up $41 million or 12%, and international  revenues,  including exports from
the U.S., were up $79 million or 22%.

For the six months  ended  June 30,  1999,  consolidated  revenues  were  $1,604
million,  an increase of 17% over the same period of 1998. The impact of foreign
currency translation was insignificant.  Total U.S. revenues were up $72 million
or 11%, and  international  revenues,  including  exports from the U.S., were up
$163 million or 22%.

The  revenue  growth for the three and six months  ended June 30,  1999 over the
same  periods  in 1998 was  driven by unit  volume  increases  in  printers  and
associated  consumable  supplies whose revenues increased 22% for both the three
and six month periods.  Revenues from sales to original equipment  manufacturers
("OEM") for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 accounted for less than
approximately  10% of total revenues with no single OEM customer  accounting for
more than approximately 5% of total revenues.

Consolidated  gross  profit was $296 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999, an increase of 15% from the same period of 1998.  For the six months ended
June 30, 1999,  consolidated gross profit was $581 million,  also an increase of
15% over the  corresponding  period of 1998.  Gross  profit as a  percentage  of
revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999  decreased to 36% from
37% for the same period in 1998, principally due to a mix shift among products.

Total operating expenses increased 7% for both the three and six months of 1999,
compared to the same periods of 1998 due to higher sales  volume.  Expenses as a
percentage  of  revenues  for the quarter  were 22.5%  compared to 24.5% for the
corresponding period of 1998. Expenses as a percentage of revenues for the first
half of 1999 were 22.8%  compared  to 24.8% for the same  period of 1998.  These
decreases were  principally due to lower selling,  general,  and  administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues.

Consolidated  operating  income was $112 million for the second  quarter of 1999
and $216 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999,  an increase of 31% and
32%,  respectively,  over the  corresponding  periods of 1998 reflecting  higher
printer and associated  supplies sales volumes and lower selling,  general,  and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 1999 were $75 million, up 39% compared to
the second quarter of 1998.  This increase was primarily due to the 31% increase
in operating income.  The income tax provision was approximately 31% of earnings
before tax for the second  quarter of 1999 as compared to  approximately  34% in
the same period of 1998.  During the second quarter of 1999 the annual effective
tax rate was reduced by 1% as a result of continuing  increases in manufacturing
activities in certain countries.

Basic net earnings per share were $0.58 for the second  quarter of 1999 compared
to $0.40 in the  corresponding  period of 1998, an increase of 43%.  Diluted net
earnings per share were $0.55 for the second  quarter of 1999  compared to $0.38
in the comparable  period of 1998, an increase of 45%. The increase in basic and
diluted net earnings per share resulted from increased  operating income,  lower
income tax rates and reduced shares outstanding.

                                       11
<PAGE>

Net  earnings for the first half of 1999 were $142  million,  an increase of 38%
compared to the same period of 1998.  The increase was  primarily due to the 32%
increase  in  operating  income  and a  reduction  in  the  tax  provision  from
approximately  34% to 32% of  earnings  before  tax for the same  period in 1998
reflecting  the  effect  of  lower  tax  rates  as  a  result  of  increases  in
manufacturing activities in certain countries.

Basic net  earnings  per  share  were  $1.10  for the  first six  months of 1999
compared  to $0.77 in the  corresponding  period of 1998,  an  increase  of 43%.
Diluted  net  earnings  per share  were  $1.03 for the first six  months of 1999
compared to $0.72 in the  comparable  period of 1998, an increase of 43%.  These
increases in basic and diluted net earnings per share  resulted  from  increased
operating income, lower income tax rates and reduced shares outstanding.


Financial Condition
- -------------------
The company's  financial  position remains strong at June 30, 1999, with working
capital of $396 million  compared to $414 million at December 31, 1998.  At June
30, 1999, the company had  outstanding  $11 million of short-term  debt and $149
million of long-term  debt.  The debt to total capital ratio was 21% at June 30,
1999 compared to 22% at December 31, 1998.

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
$150 million  compared to $11 million for the same period of 1998.  The increase
in  cash  flows  from  operating  activities  in the  first  half  of  1999  was
attributable  primarily  to an increase in net  earnings and a decrease in trade
receivables in the period.

Capital expenditures for the first half of 1999 were $79 million compared to $35
million for the same period of 1998. This increase is primarily due to expansion
of  printer  and  associated  supplies  manufacturing   capacity,   including  a
manufacturing  facility  in the  Philippines.  It is  anticipated  that  capital
expenditures  for 1999  will be in  excess  of $200  million.  The 1999  capital
expenditures have been and are expected to be funded primarily through cash from
operations.

On April  29,  1999,  the  company  received  authorization  from  the  board of
directors to repurchase  an additional  $200 million of its Class A common stock
for a total  repurchase  authority of $800  million.  The  repurchase  authority
allows the company at  management's  discretion to  selectively  repurchase  its
stock  from  time  to  time  in  the  open  market  or in  privately  negotiated
transactions  depending upon market price and other  factors.  During the second
quarter of 1999,  the company  repurchased  25,000  shares in the open market at
$52.50 for a cost of  approximately  $1 million.  During the first six months of
1999, the company repurchased  3,200,200 shares at prices ranging from $42.82 to
$55.85  for a cost of  approximately  $156  million.  As of June 30,  1999,  the
company  had  repurchased  23,371,628  shares at prices  ranging  from $10.63 to
$55.85 for an aggregate cost of approximately $527 million.


IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE


The Year 2000 issue is the result of  computers,  software  and other  equipment
that fail to utilize the full  four-digit  representation  of a year which would
cause  date-sensitive  software to  recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather  than  the  year  2000.   This  could   result  in  system   failures  or
miscalculations causing disruption of operations, including, among other things,
a temporary  inability  to process  transactions,  send  invoices,  or engage in
similar normal business activities.  In addition,  equipment containing embedded
chips could  malfunction as a result of this issue.  If systems are not modified
to be Year 2000 compliant, such failures could occur and could materially affect
the company's  results of operations,  liquidity,  and financial  condition.  In
recent years, in order to reduce costs  associated with  information  processing
and to  improve  access  to



                                       12
<PAGE>
business  information through common,  integrated computing systems, the company
converted its major information technology systems to a network-based integrated
processing system. This system is Year 2000 compliant.

The  company  has  conducted  a   comprehensive   review  of  its  computer  and
manufacturing  equipment  systems to identify the systems that could be affected
by the Year 2000 issue and has  developed  a  comprehensive  plan to address the
issues.  This plan includes analyzing and identifying systems and equipment that
need to be replaced or upgraded as a result of the Year 2000 issue.  This review
was  completed  during  1998.  Required  replacements  and  upgrades of critical
systems and equipment were substantially  complete and tested as of December 31,
1998.  The Year 2000 issue has not delayed  implementation  of any other planned
system  projects;  however,  some planned  system  projects were  accelerated to
replace non-compliant systems.

Almost all of the  company's  products are Year 2000  compliant.  There are some
products  that  are not  Year  2000  compliant  but can be  upgraded  to  become
compliant. A few products are not Year 2000 compliant and may never be Year 2000
compliant.  The company  does not expect  costs  associated  with making its own
products compliant to be material.

The company  has  established  communications  with its  significant  suppliers,
customers and others with which it conducts business to help them identify their
own Year 2000 issues. If necessary  modifications and conversions by the company
and those with which it conducts  business are not  completed  timely,  the Year
2000  issue may have a  material  adverse  effect on the  company's  results  of
operations,  liquidity,  and financial  position.  The company has evaluated and
prioritized  and is continuing  to evaluate and  prioritize  the responses  from
suppliers and establish contingency plans. For significant production suppliers,
contingencies  include  securing  alternate  sources  or  purchasing  additional
inventory prior to January 2000.  Services provided by various utility companies
are vital to the company, and the company is communicating with them about their
plans and progress in addressing  the Year 2000 issue.  The company is currently
developing contingency plans for critical business functions to address possible
interruptions   in   utility   services,   application   systems   availability,
telecommunications  services,  manufacturing  equipment and network services.  A
freeze on the installation of new systems and  modifications to existing systems
is planned for the fourth quarter 1999 and January 2000.  Critical systems' Year
2000 readiness will be revalidated  during fourth quarter 1999.  Worldwide teams
are planned for  critical  periods to handle any problems in the  transition  to
year 2000.

Costs
- -----
The  total  costs  associated  with the  company's  required  modifications  and
conversions to become Year 2000 compliant and to address Year 2000 non-compliant
products are not currently  expected to be material to the company's  results of
operations, liquidity and financial position and are being expensed as incurred.

The costs of the  company's  Year  2000  plan and the date on which the  company
expects to complete the Year 2000 issue  modifications are based on management's
best  estimates,  which were derived  utilizing  numerous  assumptions of future
events,  including the continued availability of certain resources,  third party
modification  plans and other factors.  However,  there can be no guarantee that
these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from
the company's current expectations.

Risks
- -----
The  failure  to  correct  a  material  Year  2000  problem  could  result in an
interruption  in,  or a  failure  of,  certain  normal  business  activities  or
operations.  Such  failures  could  materially  adversely  affect the  company's
results of  operations,  liquidity and financial  condition.  Due to the general
uncertainty  inherent  in the Year  2000  problem,  resulting  in part  from the
uncertainty  of the Year 2000  readiness  of  third-party  suppliers,  including
utility  companies,  and  customers,  the company is unable to conclude that the
consequences  of Year  2000  failures  will not have a  material  impact  on the
company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

THE  DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE  INCLUDED  HEREIN  CONTAINS
FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS  AND ARE BASED ON  MANAGEMENT'S  BEST  ESTIMATES  OF
FUTURE EVENTS.  RISKS RELATED TO COMPLETING THE COMPANY'S YEAR 2000 PLAN INCLUDE
THE  AVAILABILITY  OF RESOURCES,  THE COMPANY'S  ABILITY TO TIMELY  DISCOVER AND
CORRECT THE POTENTIAL  YEAR 2000  SENSITIVE  PROBLEMS WHICH COULD HAVE A SERIOUS
IMPACT ON THE  COMPANY'S  OPERATIONS,  THE ABILITY OF  SUPPLIERS  TO BRING THEIR
SYSTEMS INTO YEAR 2000  COMPLIANCE,  AND THE  COMPANY'S  ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND
IMPLEMENT EFFECTIVE CONTINGENCY PLANS TO ADDRESS YEAR 2000 FAILURES.

company  will be those  anticipated  by  management,  and  there are a number of
factors that could adversely affect the company's  future  operating  results or
cause the company's  actual results to differ  materially  from the estimates or
expectations  reflected in such  forward-looking  statements,  including without
limitation,  the factors  set forth  below:

~ The company's future operating results may be adversely affected by the impact
of Year 2000 issues on customer spending.

~ The  company  has  conducted  a  comprehensive  review  of  its  computer  and
manufacturing  equipment  systems to identify the systems that could be affected
by the Year 2000 Issue and has  developed  a  comprehensive  plan to address the
issues.  The company has also  established  communications  with its significant
suppliers and others with which it conducts business to help them identify their
own Year 2000 issues and to develop contingency plans.  However,  the failure to
timely  discover  and address a material  Year 2000  problem  could result in an
interruption in, or a failure of, normal business activities or operations. Such
failures could  materially  adversely  affect the company's  operating  results,
liquidity and financial condition.

~ The  company's  future  operating  results may be adversely  affected if it is
unable to  continue  to  develop,  manufacture  and  market  products  that meet
customers'  needs.  The  markets  for  printers  and  associated   supplies  are
increasingly   competitive,   especially   with   respect  to  pricing  and  the
introduction of new technologies  and products  offering  improved  features and
functionality.  The  company  and its  major  competitors,  most of  which  have
significantly greater financial,  marketing and technological resources than the
company,  have  regularly  lowered  prices on their printers and are expected to
continue to do so. In particular,  the inkjet printer market has experienced and
is expected to continue to experience  significant  printer price  pressure from
the company's major  competitors.  Price reductions  beyond  expectations or the
inability  to reduce  costs,  contain  expenses or increase  sales as  currently
expected,  as  well  as  price  protection  measures,   could  result  in  lower
profitability  and  jeopardize  the  company's  ability to grow or maintain  its
market share.

~ The company's performance depends in part upon its ability to increase printer
and  associated  supplies  manufacturing  capacity in line with  growing  market
demands and to manage  inventory  levels to support the demands of new customers
as well as its established customer base. The company's future operating results
and its  ability  to  effectively  grow or  maintain  its  market  share  may be
adversely affected if it is unable to address these issues on a timely basis.



                                       14
<PAGE>
~ The company markets and sells its products through several sales channels. The
company's  future results may be adversely  affected by any conflicts that might
arise between its various sales channels.

~ The life  cycles of the  company's  products,  as well as  delays  in  product
development and manufacturing, variations in the cost of component parts, delays
in customer  purchases  of  existing  products  in  anticipation  of new product
introductions  by the company or its  competitors  and market  acceptance of new
products and programs,  may cause a buildup in the company's  inventories,  make
the  transition  from  current  products  to new  products  difficult  and could
adversely  affect  the  company's  future  operating  results.  The  competitive
pressure to develop technology and products also could cause significant changes
in the level of the company's operating expenses.

~ Revenues derived from international  sales,  including exports from the United
States, make up over half of the company's revenues.  Accordingly, the company's
future  results could be adversely  affected by a variety of factors,  including
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations,  trade protection measures, changes
in a specific  country's  or  region's  political  or  economic  conditions  and
unexpected   changes   in   regulatory   requirements.   Moreover,   margins  on
international  sales  tend to be lower  than those on  domestic  sales,  and the
company believes that international operations in new geographic markets will be
less profitable than operations in the U.S. and European markets as a result, in
part, of the higher  investment  levels for marketing,  selling and distribution
required to enter these markets.

~ The  company's  success  depends  in part on its  ability  to obtain  patents,
copyrights and trademarks,  maintain trade secret protection and operate without
infringing  the  proprietary  rights of  others.  Current  or  future  claims of
intellectual  property  infringement  could  prevent the company from  obtaining
technology of others and could otherwise adversely affect its operating results,
cash flows,  financial  position or business,  as could expenses incurred by the
company  in  enforcing  its  intellectual  property  rights  against  others  or
defending  against claims that the company's  products infringe the intellectual
property rights of others.

~ Factors unrelated to the company's operating  performance,  including economic
and  business  conditions,   both  national  and  international;   the  loss  of
significant customers or suppliers; the outcome of pending and future litigation
or  governmental  proceedings;  and  the  ability  to  retain  and  attract  key
personnel,  could also  adversely  affect the company's  operating  results.  In
addition,  trading  activity in the  company's  common stock,  particularly  the
trading of large blocks and interday  trading in the company's common stock, may
affect the company's common stock price.

While the company  reassesses  material trends and  uncertainties  affecting the
company's  financial  condition and results of operations in connection with its
preparation of its quarterly and annual reports,  the company does not intend to
review or revise,  in light of future  events,  any  particular  forward-looking
statement contained in this report.

The  information  referred  to above  should be  considered  by  investors  when
reviewing any forward-looking statements contained in this report, in any of the
company's public filings or press releases or in any oral statements made by the
company  or any of its  officers  or other  persons  acting on its  behalf.  The
important  factors that could affect  forward-looking  statements are subject to
change,  and the company does not intend to update the foregoing list of certain
important  factors.  By means of this  cautionary  note, the company  intends to
avail itself of the safe harbor from liability  with respect to  forward-looking
statements that is provided by Section 27A and Section 21E referred to above.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The market risk inherent in the company's  financial  instruments  and positions
represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and
foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rates
- --------------

At June 30, 1999,  the fair value of the company's  senior notes is estimated at
$142 million using quoted market prices and yields obtained through  independent
pricing sources for the same or similar types of borrowing arrangements,  taking
into consideration the underlying terms of the debt. The carrying value exceeded
the fair value of debt at June 30, 1999 by approximately $7 million. Market risk
is estimated as the potential change in fair value resulting from a hypothetical
10% adverse change in interest rates and amounts to  approximately $7 million at
June 30, 1999.

The company has interest  rate swaps that serve as a hedge of  financings  which
are based on  floating  interest  rates.  The fair value at June 30,  1999 was a
liability of less than $1 million.  Market risk is  estimated  as the  potential
change  in fair  value  resulting  from a  hypothetical  10%  adverse  change in
interest rates and amounts to less than $1 million at June 30, 1999.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
- -------------------------------

The company  employs a foreign  currency  hedging  strategy  to limit  potential
losses in earnings or cash flows from adverse  foreign  currency  exchange  rate
movements.  Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions  denominated in a
currency  other  than  the  company's   functional  currency  and  from  foreign
denominated  revenues  and profits  translated  into U.S.  dollars.  The primary
currencies to which the company is exposed  include the euro and other  European
currencies,  the  Japanese  yen and other Asian and South  American  currencies.
Exposures are hedged with foreign currency forward contracts,  put options,  and
call options with maturity  dates of less than one year.  The potential  loss in
fair value at June 30, 1999 for such contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10%
weakening of the U.S.  dollar  against all foreign  currency  exchange  rates is
approximately $32 million.  This loss would be mitigated by corresponding  gains
on the underlying exposures.

                              LEXMARK HOLDING, INC.

              (As amended October 31, 1994 and September 13, 1995)

         This is the Third Amendment to the Lexmark  Holding,  Inc. Stock Option
Plan for  Executives  and Senior  Officers  (as  amended  October  31,  1994 and

have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan).

         WHEREAS,  pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Plan,  the  Committee,  in its
sole discretion, is authorized to adjust the number and class of Options and the
number of shares of Common Stock  available  for issuance  upon exercise of such
Options  granted  under  the  Plan if it shall  deem  such an  adjustment  to be
necessary or  appropriate  to reflect,  among other things,  a stock dividend or
stock split of the Common Stock;

         WHEREAS, the Board has approved a two-for-one stock split of the Common
Stock to be effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend on June 10, 1999; and

         WHEREAS,  Section 5.1 of the Plan  currently  provides that the maximum

Stock subject to Options) granted under the Plan may not exceed 4,600,500 (after
giving  effect to the stock split of the Common Stock  immediately  prior to the
initial public  offering and the stock split of the Common Stock  effective June

         This is the Fourth Amendment to the Lexmark Holding,  Inc. Stock Option
Plan for Executives and Senior Officers (as amended October 31, 1994,  September
13, 1995 and June 10, 1999) (the "Plan;"  capitalized  terms used herein and not
defined have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan).

         WHEREAS,  pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan, the Board is authorized to
amend the Plan from time to time;

         WHEREAS, the Plan currently provides for the transferability of Options
by a Participant under certain circumstances for estate planning purposes; and

         WHEREAS,  the  Board  has  determined  to  expand  the  transferability
provisions of the Plan to include certain other  circumstances  and to allow for

Vice President and General Counsel of transfers permitted under the Plan.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  the Plan is hereby amended,  effective as of July 29,
1999, as follows:

         1.       Section 10.1 of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as
 follows:

                  "10.1.  Nontransferability  of Awards.  Unless the Board,  the
                          -----------------------------
Committee or the Company's Vice  President,  Human  Resources and Vice President
and General Counsel shall permit an Option to be transferred by a Participant to
a  Participant's  family  member for  estate  planning  purposes  or to a trust,
partnership,  corporation  or other entity  established by the  Participant  for
estate  planning  purposes,  on such  terms and  conditions  as the  Board,  the
Committee or such officers may specify,  no Option granted under the Plan may be
sold,  transferred,  pledged,  assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated,
other than by will or by the laws of descent and  distribution.  All rights with
respect  to any  Option  granted  to a  Participant  under  the  Plan  shall  be
exercisable  by the  transferee  only  for as  long  as  they  could  have  been
exercisable  by such  Participant.  If any  Option  is  transferred  to a family
member, trust,  partnership,  corporation or other entity as contemplated by the
first  sentence  hereof,  all  references  herein and in the  applicable  Option
Agreement  to the  Participant  shall  be  deemed  to  refer  to such  permitted
transferee,  other than any such  references with respect to the personal status
of the Participant."

         In all other respects, the Plan is hereby ratified and confirmed.
