                     For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998





Note 1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed

          financial statements contain all adjustments, representing normal

          recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the results of

          operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the quarters and

          six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the financial position at

          June 30, 1999.  The interim results are not necessarily indicative of

          results for a full year and do not contain information included in the

          company's annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the

          year ended December 31, 1998.  The consolidated balance sheet as of

          December 31, 1998 was derived from audited financial statements, but

          does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted

          accounting principles.  It is suggested that these financial

          statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and

          the notes thereto included in the company's latest annual report.



          All dollar amounts are in thousands throughout these footnotes except

          where otherwise indicated.

</TABLE>

Inventory is carried at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out

(FIFO) method for 58% and 47% of total inventory at June 30, 1999 and December

31, 1998, respectively.  The remainder of the inventory is costed using the

last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.




Note 3.   The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has

          identified the company as a potentially responsible party ("PRP")

          under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and

          Liability Act ("CERCLA"), liable for the costs associated with

          investigating and cleaning up contamination at the Lemberger Landfill

          Superfund Site (the "Site") near Manitowoc, Wisconsin.



          Approximately 150 PRP's have been identified as having shipped

          substances to the Site.  Eleven of the potentially responsible

          parties, including the company,  have formed a group (the Lemberger

          Site Remediation Group, or LSRG) and have successfully negotiated with

          the EPA and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to settle

          the potential liability at the Site and fund the cleanup.



          Recent estimates indicate that the total cost to clean up the Site

          could be as high as $30 million, however, the ultimate allocation of

          costs for the Site are not yet final.  Although liability is joint and

          several, the company's percentage share of liability is estimated to

          be 11% of the total cleanup costs. Prior to December 31, 1996, the

          company accrued $3.3 million in connection with this matter.  The

          expenses incurred during the second quarter and first six months of

          1999 and 1998 in connection with this matter were not material.

          Remediation work at the Site has been completed, with only long-term

          pumping and treating of ground water and Site maintenance remaining.

          The remaining estimated liability for this matter, included in other

          current and noncurrent liabilities at June 30, 1999, is $1.1 million.



          As of June 30, 1999, 26 product-related lawsuits were pending.  All of

          these accidents occurred during years in which the company had

          insurance coverages ranging from a $5.5 million self-insured retention

          with a $10.0 million limit on the insurer's contribution in 1990, to

          the current $1.0 million self-insured retention and $50.0 million

          limit on the insurer's contribution.



          Product liability reserves at June 30, 1999 are $8.6 million; $3.2

          million reserved specifically for the 26 cases referenced above, and

          $5.4 million for incurred but not reported claims.  These reserves

          were estimated using actuarial methods. Based on the company's

          experience in defending itself against product liability claims,

          management believes the current reserves are adequate for estimated

          settlements on aggregate self-insured claims.  Any recoveries from

          insurance carriers are dependent upon the legal sufficiency of claims

          and the solvency of insurance carriers.



          It is reasonably possible that the estimates for environmental

          remediation and product liability costs may change in the near future

          based upon new information that may arise.  Presently, there is no

          reliable means to estimate the amount of any such potential changes.



          The company is also involved in various other legal actions arising in

          the normal course of business.  After taking into consideration legal

          counsel's evaluation of such actions, in the opinion of management,

          ultimate resolution is not expected to have a material adverse effect

          on the consolidated financial statements.



          Assets currently held for sale include land and improvements,

          buildings, and certain machinery and equipment at the "Peninsula

          facility" located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, as well as closed walk-in

          refrigeration plants located in Iowa and Tennessee.  The current

          carrying value of these assets, determined through independent

          appraisals, is approximately $3.8 million and is included in other

          assets.  The future holding costs, included in accounts payable and

          accrued expenses and in other non-current liabilities, consist

          primarily of utilities, security, maintenance, property taxes, and

          insurance.  These reserves also include estimates for potential

          environmental liabilities at the Peninsula location.  For the second

          quarter and first six months of 1999 and 1998, the charges against the

          reserve were not material.



Note 4.   On February 17, 1999, the company's board of directors authorized a 3-

          for-2 stock split of the company's shares in the form of a 50-percent

          stock dividend payable on April 1, 1999 to shareholders of record on

          March 1, 1999.  As a result of the stock split, 8,654,900 shares were

          issued.  All references in the financial statements to average number

          of shares outstanding, earnings per share amounts, and market prices

          per share of common stock have been restated to reflect the split.

          The company also split its common stock on a 3-for-2 basis on June 30,

          1997 and July 2, 1996.



Note 5.   The following is a reconciliation of the average shares outstanding

          used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share.  There is no

          earnings impact for the assumed conversions of the stock options in

          each of the quarters.

Note 6.   On January 11, 1999, the company acquired all of the issued and

          outstanding shares of Purchasing Support Group LLC (PSG), a four-

          member beverage service organization.  The new operation, renamed

          Manitowoc Beverage Systems, Inc. (MBS), provides full-service parts,

          components, and dispenser systems support to bottlers in the beverage

          industry.  MBS is made up of companies that have been serving soft-

          drink bottling operations throughout the United States since the

          1960's with a variety of equipment services for beverage dispensing

          systems.  MBS operates in the Northeast, Atlantic Coast, Southeast,

          Central, and Western United States.



          The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for the issued and

          outstanding shares of the four member companies of PSG was $42,854

          which is net of cash acquired of $732 and includes direct acquisition

          costs of $394 and assumed liabilities of $5,192.  The acquisition was

          financed through the Company's existing credit facility.  The purchase

          price for PSG is subject to a post-closing adjustment based upon net

          worth as set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.  The Company

          has not recorded any adjustment to the purchase price based upon the

          post-closing adjustment as of June 30, 1999.



          The acquisition of PSG has been recorded using the purchase method of

          accounting.  The cost of the acquisition has been allocated on the

          basis of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the

          liabilities assumed.  The preliminary estimate of the excess of the

          cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired is $32,141 and is

          being amortized over 40 years.  The results of MBS's operations

          subsequent to the date of acquisition are included in the Consolidated

          Statements of Earnings for the quarter and six months ended June 30,

          1999.



          On April 9, 1999, the Company acquired all of the issued and

          outstanding shares of Kyees Aluminum, Inc., a leading supplier of

          cooling components for the major suppliers of fountain soft drink

          beverage dispensers, for $25,750 in cash.  Kyees' aluminum "cold

          plates" are a key component used to chill soft drink beverages in

          dispensing equipment.  Located in La Mirada, California, Kyees is a

          technology leader in manufacturing cold plate equipment, in both

          quality and engineering design.  The acquisition of Kyees was financed

          through the Company's existing credit facility.



          The acquisition of Kyees has been recorded using the purchase method

          of accounting.  The cost of the acquisition has been allocated on the

          basis of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the

          liabilities assumed.  The preliminary estimate of the excess of the

          cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired is $22,686 and is

          being amortized over 40 years.  The results of Kyees' operations

          subsequent to the date of acquisition are included in the Consolidated

          Statements of Earnings for the quarter and six months ended June 30,

          1999.



Note 7.   On May 28, 1999, the company entered into an accounts receivable sales

          arranement with a bank.  Under this arrangement, the company sold

          $15.1 million of accounts receivable to the bank through June 30,

          1999.



          On April 6, 1999, the Company amended and restated its existing Credit

          Agreement (Agreement), with a group of banks in order to increase the

          amount of funds available and to extend the termination date to April

          6, 2004.  The amended and restated Agreement provides for maximum

          borrowings of $300 million under revolving loans and a letter of

          credit subfacility.



          The Agreement includes covenants the most restrictive of which require

          the maintenance of various debt and net worth ratios.  An annual

          commitment fee, calculated based upon the company's consolidated

          leverage ratio as defined by the Agreement, is due on the unused

          portion of the facility quarterly.  Borrowings under the Agreement

          bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of a base rate, or a

          Eurodollar rate, at the option of the company, plus an applicable

          percentage, as defined by the Agreement.  The base rate is equal to

          the greater of the Federal Funds rate in effect on such day plus 0.5%

          or the prime rate in effect on such day.  Borrowings under the

          Agreement are not collateralized.



Note 8.   The company determines its segments based upon the internal

          organization that is used by management to make operating decisions

          and assess performance.  Based upon this approach, the company has

          three reportable segments: Foodservice Equipment (Foodservice), Cranes

          and Related Products (Cranes), and Marine Operations (Marine).



          Information about reportable segments and a reconciliation of total

          segment sales and profits to the consolidated totals for the quarters

          and first six months ending June 30, 1999 and 1998 are summarized in

          Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

          and Results of Operations", to this report on Form 10-Q.  As of June

</TABLE>

Net earnings for the second quarter of 1999 increased 36% to $21.0 million, or

$.80 per diluted share, from $15.4 million, or $.59 per diluted share, for the

second quarter of 1998.  Net sales increased 20% to $226.3 million in the second

quarter of 1999, from $188.9 million for the same period in 1998.  Sales and

earnings growth was driven by gains at each of the company's three business

segments.



For the first six month period of 1999, net earnings increased 35% to $33.4

million, or $1.27 per diluted share, from $24.7 million, or $.94 per diluted

share, for the first six months of 1998.  Net sales increased 20% to $410.5

million in the first six-month period of 1999 from $343.0 million for the same

period in 1998.  The recent acquisitions of USTC, MBS and Kyees accounted for

approximately 60% of the increase in revenue.  The remainder was due mainly to

volume increases in the Foodservice and Crane segments.  The increase in

operating earnings was the result of improved operating efficiencies, continued

margin expansion and additional cost reductions in each of our business

segments.



Sales for the Foodservice segment were $110.6 million for the quarter, up 27%

from the second quarter of 1998.  Operating earnings increased 35% to $21.1

million, from $15.6 million in 1998.  Manitowoc Ice continues to benefit from

the strong demand for its new "Q" series ice machines.    SerVend's sales

increased significantly from the benefits of the recent acquisition of Manitowoc

Beverage Systems, which is expanding our geographic reach into new sales

territories.  McCall achieved record production levels while introducing seven

new products at the National Restaurant Association show.  For the first six

months of 1999 sales and operating earnings increased 26% and 32%, respectively.

All of the Foodservice operations contributed to this strong performance on a

year-over-year basis.



Cranes and related products sales for the second quarter increased 14%, to $98.1

million, from $86.1 million for the second quarter of 1998.  Operating earnings

were $17.3 million, a 34% gain over the second quarter of 1998.  This

performance is being driven by continued customer demand for our innovative new

crane designs.  Highlighting this quarter was the shipment of our first Model

21000, a 1,000-ton capacity crawler crane, which was introduced at Conexpo

earlier this year.  For the first six months of 1999, Cranes sales were $187.6

million, a 16% increase over the first six months of 1998.  Operating earnings

increased 35%, to $30.6 million, from $22.7 million for the same period in 1998.

A significant factor in the performance of the crane segment is the progress

made in reducing the manufacturing time for the high-capacity crawler cranes.

Workflow improvements and aggressive subcontracting have added manufacturing

capacity and reduced the time needed to produce Manitowoc's 175- to 300-ton

capacity cranes by 40 percent.



Marine segment sales and operating earnings for the second quarter were $17.6

million and $2.9 million, respectively, compared with $15.5 million and $2.8

million for the same period in 1998.  In May, work was completed on the NEW YORK

dipper dredge.  Other projects during the quarter included repair work on

several tugs, a passenger ferry, and a hull repair for a 767' self-unloading

bulk carrier that ran aground.   In June, Bay Shipbuilding began recognizing

revenues and earnings from the Mobil tank barge contract, which will keep the

yards busy during the traditionally slower summer months.  For the first six

months of 1999, sales and operating earnings for this segment were $28.1 million

and $5.2 million, respectively, compared with $26.5 million and $5.1 million for

1998.


Cash flow from operations was a record $61 million, a more than four-fold

increase over the first six months of last year.  Strong earnings, combined with

dramatic reductions in working capital, contributed to this performance.  During

the quarter, total debt was also reduced by $27 million, down to $149 million.



The effective tax rate remains unchanged at 37 percent.







Financial Condition at June 30, 1999

- ----------------------------------------



The Company's financial condition remains strong.  Cash and marketable

securities of $13.3 million and future cash flows from operations are expected

to be adequate to meet the Company's liquidity requirements for the foreseeable

future, including payments for long-term debt, line of credit, and anticipated

capital expenditures of between $15-$18 million.



This report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements based on

management's current expectations.  Reference is made in particular to the

description of the company's plans and objectives for future operations,

assumptions underlying such plans and objectives and other forward-looking

statements in this report.  Such forward-looking statements generally are

identifiable by words such as "believes," "intends," "estimates," "expects" and

similar expressions.



These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and must be

qualified by factors that could cause results to be materially different from

what is presented here.  This includes the following factors for each business:

Foodservice Equipment  -  demographic changes affecting the number of women in

the workforce, general population growth, and household income; serving large

restaurant chains as they expand their global operations; specialty foodservice

market growth; and the demand for equipment for small kiosk-type locations.

Cranes and Related Products  -  market acceptance of innovative products;

cyclicality in the construction industry; growth in the world market for heavy

cranes; demand for used equipment in developing countries.  Marine  -  shipping

volume fluctuations based on performance of the steel industry; five-year

drydocking schedule; reducing seasonality through non-marine repair work.







Year 2000 Compliance

- ----------------------------



The Year 2000 (or Y2K) issue is the result of computer systems and software

products that are coded to accept two digits rather than four in their date code

fields to define a year.  A company's computer equipment and software devices

with embedded technology that are time-sensitive may recognize a date using "00"

as the year 1900 rather than 2000.  This could result in a system failure or

miscalculations causing disruptions of operations including, among other things,

a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in other

normal business activities.



The company continues to undertake various initiatives intended to ensure its

computer equipment and software will function properly with respect to Y2K and

beyond.  For this purpose, the term "computer equipment and software" includes

systems commonly thought of as Information Technology (IT) systems - including

accounting, data processing and telephone systems - as well as those that are

not commonly thought of as IT systems - such as manufacturing equipment, company

products, alarm systems, fax machines or other miscellaneous systems.  Both IT

and non-IT systems may contain embedded technology, which complicates Y2K

identification, assessment, remediation, and testing efforts.



Based upon its identification and assessment efforts through the end of the

second quarter of 1999, the company is in the process of converting, modifying,

and upgrading its computer equipment and software to be Y2K compliant, as

necessary.  In addition, in the ordinary course of replacing computer equipment

and software, the company attempts to get replacements that are Y2K compliant.

The company continues to anticipate that its Y2K identification, assessment,

remediation, and testing efforts, which began in 1996, will be complete by

October 1999, and contingency plans will be developed, as necessary, to address

unforseen circumstances prior to the end of 1999.  The company believes that

these efforts will be completed prior to any currently anticipated impact on its

computer equipment and software.  It also does not anticipate any significant

disruption to its normal business operations to achieve this goal.  The company

estimates that as of June 30, 1999, it had completed approximately 95% of the

initiatives it believes will be necessary to fully address potential Y2K issues.



The company has made inquiries and gathered information on the Y2K compliance of

its significant vendors, suppliers, dealers and distributors.  This was done in

an attempt to determine the extent to which interfaces with these companies are

vulnerable to Y2K issues, and whether the products and services purchased from

or by these companies are Y2K compliant.  During the first quarter of 1999, the

company completed a follow-up mailing to significant vendors, suppliers, dealers

and distributors for newly acquired companies and for those that did not

initially respond, or whose responses were deemed unsatisfactory by the company.

Although the company cannot assure Y2K compliance by its key suppliers, dealers,

and distributors, no major part of critical operation of any company segment

relies on a single source for raw materials, supplies, or services, and the

company has multiple distribution channels for most of its products.


Beginning in the second half of 1997, through June 30, 1999, the company has

spent approximately $4.4 million to upgrade its systems, including Y2K issues.

Approximately $0.5 million was spent during the first six months of 1999, with

about $0.3 million was spent in the second quarter.  Estimated additional costs

for system upgrades during the last two quarters of 1999, including addressing

Y2K concerns, will approximate $0.5 million.  These expenditures were and will

be funded using cash flows from operations.



The costs of the company's Y2K conversion efforts and dates by which it believes

these efforts will be completed are based on management's best estimates.  These

were developed using many assumptions regarding future events, including

continued availability of certain resources, third-party remediation plans, and

other factors.  There can be no assurance that these estimates will prove to be

accurate, and actual results could differ materially from those currently

anticipated.



The company believes that the Y2K issue will not pose significant operational

problems for it.  However, if all Y2K issues are not properly identified, or

assessment, remediation, or testing are not completed for Y2K problems that are

identified, there can be no assurance that the Y2K issue will not have a

material adverse affect on the company's relationships with customers, vendors,

distributors, and others.  In addition, there can be no assurance that the Y2K

issues of other entities will not have a material adverse impact on the

company's systems or results of operations.

there were no trades of Shares on the composite tape on such business day, on

SECTION 3.  Plan Operation

            a.    The Plan is intended to meet the "formula" plan requirements

of Rule 16b-3 (or any successor provision thereto), as interpreted, adopted

under the Exchange Act and accordingly is intended to be self-governing.

            b.    The Board shall have no discretion to select the Non-employee

Directors to receive Option grants under the Plan, to determine the number of

Shares subject to the Plan or to each grant, nor the exercise price of the

Options granted pursuant to the Plan.

            c.    The Plan shall be administered by the Board.  The Board may,

by resolution, delegate part or all of its administrative powers with respect to

the Plan.

            d.    The Board shall have all of the powers vested in it by the

final and conclusive.

            f.    Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the Board

may authorize any one or more of their number or the Secretary or any other

officer of the Company to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Board.

SECTION 4.  Shares Available for Options

            a.    Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b):

                  i.    The number of Shares with respect to which Options may

     be granted under the Plan shall be *187,500.  If, after the effective date

     of the Plan, an Option terminates, expires or is canceled prior to the

     delivery of all of the Shares issuable thereunder, then the number of

     Shares counted against the number of Shares available under the Plan in

     connection with the grant of such Option, to the extent of any such

     termination, expiration or cancellation, shall again be available for

     granting of additional Options under the Plan.  If the Exercise Price of

     any Option granted under the Plan is satisfied by tendering Shares (by

     either actual delivery or by attestation), only the number of Shares issued

     net of the Shares tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of

     determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the

     Plan.

                  ii.   The number of Shares covered by an Option under the Plan

     shall be counted on the date of grant of such Option against the number of

     Shares available for granting Options under the Plan.

                  iii.  Any Shares delivered pursuant to the exercise of an

     Option may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares

     or of treasury shares.

            b.    In the event that the Board shall determine that any dividend

or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or

other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split,

reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,

repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of

warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company,

or other similar corporate transaction or event (collectively referred to as

"Events") affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Board

to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or

potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Board

may, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the

number and type of Shares subject to the Plan and which thereafter may be made

the subject of Options under the Plan; (ii) the number and type of Shares

subject to outstanding Options; and (iii) the exercise price with respect to any

Option (collectively referred to as "Adjustments"); provided, however, that

Options subject to grant or previously granted to Non-employee Directors under

the Plan at the time of any such Event shall be subject to only such Adjustments

as shall be necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of the Non-employee

Directors and preserve, without exceeding, the value of such Options; and

provided further that the number of Shares subject to any Option shall always be

a whole number.

     *Reflects the Company's 3 for 2 stock split of 4/1/99 (125,000 shares

adjusted to 187,500 shares).

SECTION 5.  Nonqualified Stock Option Awards to Non-employee Directors

            a.    Non-employee Directors shall automatically be granted Options

under the Plan in the manner set forth in this Section 5 for no cash

consideration.  A Non-employee Director may hold more than one Option under the

Plan in his or her capacity as a Non-employee Director of the Company, but only

on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.  All options

granted to Non-employee Directors pursuant to the Plan shall be nonqualified

stock options which do not qualify for special tax treatment under Code Sections

421 or 422.

            b.    By and simultaneously with the adoption of the Plan by the

Board, subject to approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company, each

Non-employee Director at such time shall be granted an Option to purchase two

thousand (2,000) Shares under the Plan (the "First Option").  Thereafter, on the

date on which a Non-employee Director, other than a Non-employee Director who

was serving as a director of the Company on the date of shareholder approval, is

first elected or appointed as a director of the Company during the existence of

the Plan, such Non-employee Director shall automatically be granted an Option to

purchase two thousand (2,000) Shares under the Plan.

            c.    Following the date of grant of the First Option, on the date

of the first Board meeting occurring in each calendar year, each continuing Non-

employee Director of the Board shall be granted an additional Option to purchase

one thousand (1,000) Shares under the Plan (the "Annual Option").  Annual

Options are not made concurrently with First Options and a Non-employee Director

must be continuing in office in order to be eligible to receive an Annual

Option.

            d.    The automatic grants to Non-employee Directors shall not be

subject to the discretion of any person.

            e.    Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a

written Agreement.  Each Agreement shall be subject to, and incorporate, by

reference or otherwise, the applicable terms of this Plan.

            f.    No Option shall be granted under the Plan after the tenth

anniversary of the effective date of the Plan.  However, the term of any Option

theretofore granted may extend beyond such date.

            g.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(b), Options shall

automatically be granted to Non-employee Directors under the Plan only for so

long as the Plan remains in effect and a sufficient number of Shares are

available hereunder for the granting of such Options.

            h.    No Option, and no right under such Option, shall be

assignable, alienable, saleable or transferable by a Non-employee Director

otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution other than

with the prior approval of the Board.  Each Option shall be exercisable, during

the lifetime of the Non-employee Director, only by such individual or, if

permissible under applicable law, by such individual's guardian or legal

representative.  No Options may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise

encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance

thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate.

SECTION 6.  Exercise Price.

            a.    The price per Share of the Company's common stock which may be

purchased upon exercise of an Option ("Exercise Price") shall be one hundred

percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date the Option is

granted and shall be payable in full at the time the Option is exercised as

follows (except that, in the case of an exercise under paragraph (iii), payment

may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise):

                  i.    in cash or by certified check,

                  ii.   by delivery to the Company of Shares which shall have

     been owned for at least six (6) months and have a Fair Market Value per

     Share on the date of surrender equal to the Exercise Price, or

                  iii.  by delivery to the Company of a properly executed

     exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to

     promptly deliver to the Company from sale or loan proceeds the amount

     required to pay the exercise price.

            b.    Such Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided

in Section 4(b) hereof.

SECTION 7.  Duration and Vesting of Options.

            a.    The term of each Option granted to a Non-employee Director

shall be for ten (10) years from the date of grant, unless terminated earlier

pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 hereof.

            b.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 8 hereof, each Option

shall vest and become exercisable according to the following schedule:

                  i.     twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of Shares

     covered by the Option shall become exercisable beginning with the first

     anniversary date of the grant of the Option;

                  ii.   thereafter twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number

     of Shares covered by the Option shall become exercisable on each subsequent

     anniversary date of the grant of the Option until the fourth anniversary

     date of the grant of the Option upon which the total number of Shares

     covered by Option shall become exercisable.




SECTION 8.     Effect of Termination of Membership on the Board.

            a.    The right to exercise an Option granted to a Non-employee

Director shall be limited as follows, provided the actual date of exercise is in

no event after the expiration of the term of the Option:

                  i.    If a Non-employee Director ceases being a director of

     the Company for any reason other than the reasons identified in

     subparagraph (b) of this Section 8, the Non-employee Director shall have

     the right to exercise the Options as follows, subject to the condition that

     no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of the term of the

     Option:

                  (A)   If the Non-employee Director was a member of the Board

          of Directors of the Company for five (5) or more years, all

          outstanding Options become immediately exercisable upon the date the

          Non-employee Director ceases being a director for any reason.  The

          Non-employee Director may exercise the Options for a period of thirty-

          six (36) months from the date the Non-employee Director ceases to be a

          director, provided that if the Non-employee Director dies while

          serving as a director or before such thirty-six (36) month period has

          expired, the Options may be exercised by the Non-employee Director's

          legal representative or any person who acquires the right to exercise

          an Option by reason of the Non-employee Director's death for a period

          of twelve (12) months from the date of the Non-employee Director's

          death.

                  (B)   If the Non-employee Director was a member of the Board

          of Directors of the Company for fewer than five (5) years, the Non-

          employee Director may exercise the Options, to the extent they were

          exercisable at the date the Non-employee Director ceases to be a

          member of the Board for any reason, for a period of thirty (30) days

          following the date the Non-employee Director ceased being a director,

          provided that if the Non-employee Director dies while serving as a

          director or before such thirty (30) day period has expired, the

          Options may be exercised by the Non-employee Director's legal

          representative, or any person who acquires the right to exercise an

          Option by reason of the Non-employee Director's death, for a period of

          twelve (12) months from the date of the Non-employee Director's death.

                  (C)   In the event any Option is exercised by the executors,

          administrators, legatees, or distributees of the estate of a deceased

          optionee, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue stock

          thereunder unless and until the Company is satisfied that the person

          or persons exercising the Option are the duly appointed legal

          representatives of the deceased optionee's estate or the proper

          legatees or distributees thereof.

            b.    If a Non-employee Director ceases being a director of the

Company due to an act of

            i.    fraud or intentional misrepresentation or

            ii.   embezzlement, misappropriation or conversion of assets or

     opportunities of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company or

            iii.  any other gross or willful misconduct as determined by the

     Board, in its sole and conclusive discretion,

all Options granted to such Non-employee Director shall immediately be forfeited

as of the date of the misconduct.



SECTION 9.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan

            a.    The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, discontinue

or terminate the Plan.

            b.    Termination of the Plan shall not affect the rights of Non-

employee Directors with respect to Options previously granted to them, and all

unexpired Options shall continue in force and effect after termination of the

Plan, except as they may lapse or be terminated by their own terms and

conditions.  Any amendment to the Plan shall become effective when adopted by

the Board, unless specified otherwise.

            c.    Rights and obligations under any Option granted before any

amendment of this Plan shall not be materially and adversely affected by

amendment of the Plan, except with the consent of the person who holds the

Option, which consent may be obtained in any manner that the Board deems

appropriate.

SECTION 10. General Provisions

            a.    Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any

Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation

arrangements for Non-employee Directors, and such arrangements may be either

generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

            b.    The grant of an Option to a Non-employee Director pursuant to

the Plan shall confer no right on such Non-employee Director to continue as a

director of the Company.  Except for rights accorded under the Plan, Non-

employee Directors shall have no rights as holders of Shares as a result of the

granting of Options hereunder.

            c.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company

shall have no liability to deliver any Shares under the Plan or make any other

distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution

would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the

requirements of the Securities Act of 1933), and the applicable requirements of

any securities exchange or similar entity.

            d.    To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of stock

certificates to reflect the issuance of Shares, the issuance may be effected on

a non-certificated basis, to the extent no prohibited by applicable law or the

applicable rules of any stock exchange.

            e.    The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any

rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance

with the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin and applicable federal law.

            f.    Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan

solely as a convenience to facilitate reference.  Such headings shall not be

deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of

the Plan or any provision hereof.

            g.    The Plan shall be effective as of the date of adoption of the

Plan by the Board, February 16, 1999, subject to approval of the Plan by the

shareholders of the Company.
