               BUCYRUS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                       ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. In the opinion of Bucyrus International, Inc. (the "Company"), the 
   consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
   (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
   financial results for the interim periods.  Certain items are included in
   these statements based on estimates for the entire year.  

2. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from
   these interim consolidated condensed financial statements.  Therefore,
   these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1997
   Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
   Commission on March 30, 1998.

3. On August 21, 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
   Merger (the "AIP Agreement") with American Industrial Partners
   Acquisition Company, LLC ("AIPAC"), which is wholly-owned by American
   Industrial Partners Capital Fund II, L.P. ("AIP"), and Bucyrus
   Acquisition Corp. ("BAC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIPAC.  On
   August 26, 1997, pursuant to the AIP Agreement, BAC commenced an offer to
   purchase for cash 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the
   Company at a price of $18.00 per share (the "AIP Tender Offer"). 
   Consummation of the AIP Tender Offer occurred on September 24, 1997, and
   BAC was merged with and into the Company on September 26, 1997 (the "AIP
   Merger").  The Company was the surviving entity in the AIP Merger and is
   currently wholly-owned by AIPAC.  The purchase of all of the Company's
   outstanding shares of common stock by AIPAC resulted in a change in
   control of voting interest.

   The consolidated condensed financial statements as of June 30, 1998 and
   December 31, 1997 and for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998
   were prepared under a basis of accounting that reflects the fair value of
   the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the related expenses and
   all debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Company by
   AIPAC.  The Predecessor consolidated condensed financial statements for
   the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 were prepared using the
   Company's previous basis of accounting which was based on the principles
   of fresh start reporting adopted in 1994 upon emergence from bankruptcy. 
   Accordingly, the consolidated condensed financial statements for periods
   subsequent to the date of the consummation of the AIP Tender Offer are
   not comparable to the consolidated condensed financial statements of the
   Predecessor.

   On August 26, 1997, the Company consummated the acquisition (the "Marion
   Acquisition") of certain assets and liabilities of The Marion Power
   Shovel Company, a subsidiary of Global Industrial Technologies, Inc.
   ("Global"), and of certain subsidiaries and divisions of Global that
   represented Global's surface mining equipment business in Australia,
   Canada and South Africa (collectively referred to herein as "Marion"). 
   The acquisition of Marion by the Company was accounted for as a purchase
   and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the
   Company were recorded at their estimated fair values.

4. Inventories consist of the following:

                                     June 30,       December 31,
                                       1998             1997    
                                         (Dollars in Thousands)

   Raw materials and parts           $ 16,078         $ 14,896
   Costs relating to
     uncompleted contracts             10,700            4,861
   Customers' advances offset
     against costs incurred on
     uncompleted contracts             (6,795)          (2,976)
   Work in process                     20,394           21,238
   Finished products (primarily
     replacement parts)                67,643           76,996
                                                              

                                     $108,020         $115,015
                                                              

   In connection with the acquisition of the Company by AIPAC, inventories
   were adjusted to estimated fair value.  This adjustment was charged to
   cost of products sold as the inventory was sold.  At December 31, 1997,
   the remaining estimated fair value adjustment included in inventory was
   $6,925,000, all of which was charged to cost of products sold during the
   quarter ended March 31, 1998.

5. On March 17, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock
   split which increased the number of authorized shares of common stock of
   the Company to 1,600,000 shares.  Simultaneous with this authorization,
   AIPAC cancelled 9.976% of its interest in its 1,000 shares of common
   stock of the Company and received 1,430,300 shares for its remaining
   interest (the "Stock Split").  Also on this date, certain members of
   management of the Company purchased 7,800 shares of common stock of the
   Company which increased the number of issued and outstanding common
   shares to 1,438,100.  

6. Basic net earnings (loss) per share of common stock were computed by
   dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of
   common stock outstanding.  Diluted net earnings (loss) per share of
   common stock were calculated after giving effect to dilutive securities. 
   The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators
   of the basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share of common stock
   calculations:

                       Quarters Ended June 30,    Six Months Ended June 30,

7. In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
   of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
   Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133").  SFAS 133 establishes
   accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative
   instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
   contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
   liability measured at its fair value.  SFAS 133 requires that changes in
   the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless
   specific hedge accounting criteria are met.  Special accounting for
   qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset
   related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires
   that the Company must formally document, designate and assess the
   effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.

   SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. 
   The Company may also implement SFAS 133 as of the beginning of any fiscal
   quarter after issuance (that is, fiscal quarters beginning June 16, 1998
   and thereafter).  SFAS 133 cannot be applied retroactively.  SFAS 133
   must be applied to (a) derivative instruments and (b) certain derivative
   instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that were issued, acquired, or
   substantively modified after December 31, 1997 (and, at the Company's
   election, before January 1, 1998).

   The Company has not yet quantified the effects of adopting SFAS 133 on
   its consolidated financial statements and has not determined the timing
   of or method of adoption of SFAS 133.  

   The Company will also be required to adopt Statement of Position
   No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
   Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1") no later than January 1, 1999. 
   The Company is currently reviewing its accounting for costs of computer
   software developed or obtained for internal use for compliance with the
   guidelines established in the SOP.

8. On September 23, 1997, Minserco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
   Company, was found liable to BR West Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a West Machine
   and Tool Works ("West") in litigation pending in the United States
   District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the "Texas Court"), for
   damages claimed with regard to an alleged joint venture agreement (the
   "Minserco Litigation").  On October 29, 1997, a final judgment was
   entered in the approximate amount of $4,300,000, including attorney's
   fees and costs.  Minserco strongly disputed the Findings of Fact and
   Conclusions of Law entered by the Texas Court and had appealed the case
   to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  On
   November 5, 1997, the Company was sued by West in the Texas Court on
   substantially similar grounds asserted in the Minserco Litigation in an
   apparent attempt to hold the Company liable for the damages awarded to
   West in the Minserco Litigation.  On June 19, 1998, the Company and
   Minserco settled the Minserco Litigation, and all claims against either
   the Company or Minserco were dismissed with prejudice.  

   During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company refined the
   preliminary purchase price allocation to reflect this settlement as well
   as other minor items resulting from the acquisition by AIPAC.

9. The Company's payment obligations under its 9-3/4% Senior Notes due 2007
   (the "Senior Notes") are guaranteed by certain of the Company's wholly-
   owned subsidiaries (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries").  Such guarantees are
   full, unconditional and joint and several.  Separate financial statements
   of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because the Company's
   management has determined that they would not be material to investors. 
   The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on an
   unconsolidated basis, statement of operations, balance sheet and
   statement of cash flow information for the Company (the "Parent
   Company"), for the Guarantor Subsidiaries and for the Company's non-
   guarantor subsidiaries (the "Other Subsidiaries").  The supplemental
   financial information reflects the investments of the Company in the
   Guarantor and Other Subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. 
   Parent Company amounts for net earnings (loss) and common shareholders'
   investment differ from consolidated amounts as intercompany profit in
   subsidiary inventory has not been eliminated in the Parent Company
   statement but has been eliminated in the Consolidated Totals.

looking statements may be found in this section, as well as elsewhere within
this Report.  Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the
intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, primarily with respect
to the future operating performance of the Company or related industry
developments.  When used in this Report, terms such as "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "indicate," "may be," "objective," "plan,"
"predict," and "will be" are intended to identify such statements.  Readers
are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual
results may differ from those described in the forward-looking statements as a
result of various factors, many of which are beyond the control of the
Company.  Forward-looking statements are based upon management's expectations
at the time they are made.  Although the Company believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it
can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. 
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
such expectations ("Cautionary Statements") are disclosed in this Report, in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997
under the caption "Item 1. Business," and in the Prospectus contained in the
Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by the Registrant on November 12,
1997 (Registration No. 333-39359) under the captions "Risk Factors --
Substantial Leverage; Restrictive Loan Covenants," "-- Realization of Benefits
of the Marion Acquisition; Integration of Marion," "-- Cyclical Nature of
Industry; Potential Fluctuations in Operating Results," "-- Foreign
Operations," "-- Competition," "-- Principal Shareholder," "-- Environmental
and Related Matters," and "-- Labor Relations".  All subsequent written or
oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting
on behalf of the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
Cautionary Statements.

   In connection with the acquisition of the Company by AIPAC and the Marion
Acquisition, the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies have been
adjusted to their estimated fair values.  Also, upon emergence from bankruptcy
in 1994, total assets were recorded at their assumed reorganization value,
with the reorganization value allocated to identifiable tangible and
intangible assets on the basis of their estimated fair value, and liabilities
were adjusted to the present values of amounts to be paid where appropriate. 
The consolidated financial statements include the related amortization charges
associated with the fair value adjustments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Liquidity

   Working capital and current ratio are two financial measurements which
provide an indication of the Company's ability to meet its short-term
obligations.  These measurements at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 were
as follows:

                          June 30,   December 31,
                            1998         1997    
                          (Dollars in Thousands)

   Working capital        $122,463     $120,883
   Current ratio          2.8 to 1     2.9 to 1

   The Company is presenting below a calculation of earnings (loss) before
interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock
compensation, (gain) loss on sale of fixed assets and inventory fair value
adjustment charged to cost of products sold ("Adjusted EBITDA").  Since cash
flow from operations is very important to the Company's future, the Adjusted
EBITDA calculation provides a summary review of cash flow performance.  In
addition, the Company is required to maintain certain minimum Adjusted EBITDA
levels under its bank credit agreement (see below).  The Adjusted EBITDA
calculation is not an alternative to operating income under generally accepted
accounting principles as an indicator of operating performance or to cash
flows as a measure of liquidity.  The following table reconciles Earnings
(Loss) Before Income Taxes to Adjusted EBITDA:

   The Company entered into a three-year credit agreement with Bank One,
Wisconsin on September 24, 1997 which provides the Company with a $75,000,000
senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility")
with a $25,000,000 sublimit for standby letters of credit.  Borrowings under
the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates and are subject
to a borrowing base formula based on receivables, inventory and machinery and
equipment.  Direct borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30,
1998 were $39,400,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 8.5%.  The
issuance of standby letters of credit reduces the amount available for direct
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.  At June 30, 1998, there were
$3,375,000 of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Facility.  The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of
the assets of the Company, other than real property and 35% of the stock of
its foreign subsidiaries, and is guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries who
have also pledged substantially all of their assets as security.  The amount
available for direct borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at
June 30, 1998 was $24,912,500.

   The Company has outstanding $150,000,000 of its Senior Notes which were
issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 24, 1997 among the
Company, the Guarantors, and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Trustee (the
"Senior Notes Indenture").  Interest thereon is payable each March 15 and
September 15.

   The Company believes that current levels of cash and liquidity, together
with funds generated by operations and funds available from the Revolving
Credit Facility, will be sufficient to permit the Company to satisfy its debt
service requirements and fund operating activities for the foreseeable future. 
The Company is subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties that are beyond its control.  Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that the Company's financial resources will be sufficient for the
Company to satisfy its debt service obligations and fund operating activities
under all circumstances.

   Capital Resources

   At June 30, 1998, the Company had approximately $2,997,000 of open
capital appropriations.  In 1996, a machine shop modernization program began
at the Company's South Milwaukee, Wisconsin manufacturing facility that
involves a $20,000,000 investment in the latest technology in the machine tool
industry.  The program is aimed at reduced lead times, quicker turnaround,
reduced in-process inventory and overall cost reduction.  The Company has
spent approximately $5,700,000 to date on this program with the remaining
amount to be spent in the next several years.

Capitalization

   The long-term debt to equity ratio at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997
was 1.6 to 1 and 1.3 to 1, respectively.  The long-term debt to total
capitalization ratio at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was .6 to 1. 
Total capitalization is defined as total common shareholders' investment plus
long-term debt plus current maturities of long-term debt and short-term
obligations.

Results Of Operations

   Net Sales

   Net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 were
$80,041,000 and $153,741,000, respectively, compared with $83,876,000 and
$143,762,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.
Net sales of repair parts and services for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1998 were $57,923,000 and $109,338,000, respectively, which is an
increase of $6,701,000 or 13.1% and $20,724,000 or 23.4% from the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.  Both increases in repair parts
and service net sales were primarily due to the acquisition of Marion as well
as increased activity on maintenance and repair contracts.  Net machine sales
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 were $22,118,000 and
$44,403,000, respectively, which is a decrease of 32.3% and 19.5% from the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.  The decreases were
in both electric mining shovel and blast hole drill volume.  As a result of a
decline in copper and coal prices in 1997 from historically high levels, the
demand for machines from these market segments has been low.  In addition,
economic and political problems in Asia have negatively impacted demand for
the Company's machines.

   Cost of Products Sold

   Cost of products sold for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was $63,538,000
or 79.4% of net sales compared with $68,256,000 or 81.4% of net sales for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997.  For the six months ended June 30, 1998, cost of
products sold was $130,119,000 or 84.6% of net sales compared with
$116,261,000 or 80.9% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997. 
During the second quarter of 1998, the Company reduced cost of sales by
$1,210,000 as a result of a change in the Company's short-term disability
plan.  Included in cost of products sold for the six months ended June 30,
1998 were charges of $6,925,000 recorded in the first quarter of 1998 as a
result of the fair value adjustment to inventory being charged to cost of
products sold as the inventory was sold.  The fair value adjustment was made
as a result of the acquisition of the Company by AIPAC.  Excluding the effects
of the inventory fair value adjustment, cost of products sold for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 as a percentage of net sales was 80.1%.  Also
included in cost of products sold for 1998 was $2,162,000 of additional
depreciation expense as a result of the fair value adjustment to plant and
equipment in connection with the acquisition of the Company by AIPAC.

   Product Development, Selling, Administrative and Miscellaneous Expenses

   Product development, selling, administrative and miscellaneous expenses
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 were $11,475,000 or 14.3% of net sales
compared with $9,692,000 or 11.6% of net sales for the quarter ended June 30,
1997.  The amounts for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were
$23,648,000 or 15.4% of net sales and $18,345,000 or 12.8% of net sales,
respectively.  The amounts for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998
were reduced by $563,000 as a result of a change in the Company's short-term
disability plan.  The dollar increases in 1998 were primarily due to increased
expenses to support the Marion business acquired, and increased non-cash
amortizations of goodwill, intangible assets and financing fees that were
recorded in connection with the acquisition of the Company by AIPAC.

   Interest Expense

   Interest expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 was
$4,735,000 and $9,204,000, respectively, compared with $2,042,000 and
$3,956,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. 
Included in interest expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1998 was $3,615,000 and $7,231,000, respectively, related to the Senior Notes.

   Income Taxes

   For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, income tax
expense consists primarily of foreign taxes at applicable statutory rates. 
For United States tax purposes, there were losses for which no income tax
benefit was recorded.

   Net Earnings (Loss)

   Net loss for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 was $293,000
and $9,362,000, respectively, compared with net earnings of $2,508,000 and
$3,423,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. 
Included in net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $6,267,000
(net of tax) of the inventory fair value adjustment which was charged to cost
of products sold.  Non-cash depreciation and amortization charges for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 were $4,013,000 and $7,828,000,
respectively, compared with $1,359,000 and $2,713,000, respectively, for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997.

   Backlog and New Orders

   The Company's consolidated backlog on June 30, 1998 was $197,441,000
compared with $216,021,000 at December 31, 1997 and $215,767,000 at June 30,
1997.  Machine backlog at June 30, 1998 was $79,637,000, which is a decrease
of 18.0% from December 31, 1997 and a decrease of 23.2% from June 30, 1997. 
There has been a decrease in both electric mining shovel and blast hole drill
backlog.  During the second quarter of 1997, the Company executed a contract
with an Australian mining company for the sale of a Model 2570WS dragline
which is scheduled for completion by December 31, 1999.  Included in backlog
at June 30, 1998, December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997 was $45,630,000,
$51,644,000 and $60,167,000, respectively, related to this machine.  Repair
parts and service backlog at June 30, 1998 was $117,804,000, which is a
decrease of .9% from December 31, 1997 and an increase of 5.2% from June 30,
1997.  

   New orders for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 were
$69,945,000 and $135,161,000, respectively, which is a decrease of 49.9% and
32.7% from the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.  New
machine orders for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 were
$17,863,000 and $26,885,000, respectively, which is a decrease of 80.5% and
75.5% from the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. 
Included in new machine orders for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1997 was approximately $60,000,000 for the aforementioned 2570WS dragline. 
New machine orders for electric mining shovels and blast hole drills have
decreased.  As a result of a decline in copper and coal prices in 1997 from
historically high levels, the demand for machines from these market segments
has been low.  In addition, economic and political problems in Asia have
negatively impacted demand for the Company's machines.  New repair parts and
service orders for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 were
$52,082,000 and $108,276,000, respectively, which is an increase of 8.5% and
19.1% from the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.  The
increase in new repair parts and service orders was primarily due to the
acquisition of Marion.

Year 2000 Issues

   The Company is in the process of implementing a plan to improve its
existing computer system.  While the primary purpose of the change is to
improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Company's system, year 2000
issues are also being addressed at this time.  Implementation of the plan is
expected to be completed by the first quarter of 1999, primarily through the
redeployment of internal Company personnel.  The estimated incremental cost of
this project is $2,600,000.

                             OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

        On September 23, 1997, Minserco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
        Company, was found liable to BR West Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a West
        Machine and Tool Works ("West") in litigation pending in the United
        States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the "Texas
        Court"), for damages claimed with regard to an alleged joint
        venture agreement (the "Minserco Litigation").  On October 29,
        1997, a final judgment was entered in the approximate amount of
        $4,300,000, including attorney's fees and costs.  Minserco strongly
        disputed the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law entered by the
        Texas Court and had appealed the case to the United States Court of
        Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  On November 5, 1997, the Company
        was sued by West in the Texas Court on substantially similar
        grounds asserted in the Minserco Litigation in an apparent attempt
        to hold the Company liable for the damages awarded to West in the
        Minserco Litigation.  On June 19, 1998, the Company and Minserco
        settled the Minserco Litigation, and all claims against either the
        Company or Minserco were dismissed with prejudice.

whether such Credit or Application for such Credit provide otherwise:

1.  PAYMENT.  Customer shall pay to Bank at its main office in Pewaukee,
Wisconsin the amount of any draft paid by Bank after a draw, or
purported draw, under a Credit, such payment to be made at or before
presentation of the draft.  Customer further agrees to pay Bank,
immediately upon its demand after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
the full amount of all drafts which could, according to all outstanding
Credits, be presented at that time or at time thereafter, which sum Bank
shall hold for the account of Customer, without interest, for the
purpose of honoring all drafts when presented.  Any excess remaining
after Bank has honored all drafts, and all Credits expire, shall be
returned to Customer.  

Drafts payable in foreign currency shall be paid to Bank by Customer in
United States currency at the rate of exchange for cable transfers in
effect at M & I Bank at the time of payment or, if there is no such rate
of exchange, Customer shall pay Bank the actual cost of settlement.

2.  FEES & INTEREST.  Customer agrees to pay Bank:
 
(a) On demand, Bank's customary commissions in effect from time to time
and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees paid or
incurred by Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or
any Credit.  As used herein, and until Bank notifies Customer of any
change, "Bank's customary commissions" means the following:  Prior to
the occurrence of an Event of Default, the customary commissions of the
Bank are as follows:  1.50% per annum for Credits issued in connection
with Customer bids or assuring Customer performance ("Nonfinancial
Credits") and 2.00% per annum for all other Credits ("Other Credits"). 
Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and upon Bank s written
notice, the customary commission for Nonfinancial Credits shall
immediately increase to 2.375% per annum and for Other Credits shall
immediately increase to 4.00% per annum.  All commissions are due and
payable quarterly in advance;

(b) Interest on all sums advanced by Bank without prior reimbursement by
Customer at the per annum rate of 2.50 percentage points in excess of
the highest rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal from
time to time as the prime rate (hereafter referred to as the "Prime
Rate") to be computed for actual days unpaid on a 360 day basis, and the
interest rate shall change when and as the Prime Rate changes; and

(c) In the event any change in any law or regulation, or in any
interpretation by a court, or administrative or governmental authority
charged with the administration thereof, shall either:
 
[i] impose, modify or make applicable any reserve special deposit or
similar requirement against any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against letters of credit issued by Bank; or

[ii] impose on Bank any other condition regarding this Agreement or any
Credit, 

and the result of any event referred to above shall be to increase the
cost to Bank of issuing or maintaining a Credit, then, upon demand by
Bank,  Customer shall immediately pay to Bank from time to time as
specified by Bank, such additional amounts as shall, in the judgment of
Bank, be sufficient to compensate Bank for such increased cost, together
with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment
in full of the rate provided in subsection (b) above.

3.  REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES.  In order to induce Bank to issue each
Credit, Customer represents and warrants to Bank that:

(a) Each financial statement of Customer furnished to Bank was correct
and complete and truly presented the financial condition of Customer as
of the date thereof and, since the date of the last such financial
statement, there has been no material adverse change in the financial
condition of Customer; 

(b) Customer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware;

(c)  Customer has the power and is duly authorized to execute and
deliver this Agreement and is and will be duly authorized to execute and
deliver each Application for a Credit and each collateral document
referred to in any Application for a Credit.  This Agreement, each
Application for Credit, and each such collateral document, when executed
and delivered, will constitute the valid and binding obligations of
Customer, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of general application
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and except to the extent
that general principles of equity might affect the specific enforcement
of this Agreement or such collateral documents;

(d) There is no litigation or administrative proceeding, pending or
threatened against Customer which might, if adversely determined,
materially affect Customer's ability to perform its obligations under
this Agreement; 

(e) No default exists, nor has any event, act or omission occurred
which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, would
constitute a default under any instrument or agreements evidencing or
securing any indebtedness or liability of any Customer;

(f) Customer has no material indebtedness for borrowed money nor any
material obligation, contingent or otherwise, directly or indirectly
guaranteeing or in any manner providing for the payment of indebtedness
of another, except those disclosed on the most recent financial
statements of Customer furnished to Bank and except for endorsements for
collection or deposit in the ordinary course of business;

(g) Customer has good and marketable title to all of its property, real,
personal and intangible, subject to no lien, security interest,
mortgage, encumbrance or charge of any kind except as disclosed to Bank
or of record.

4.  COVENANTS.  Customer agrees that it will, so long as a drawing will
be available under any Credit, and until Bank has been reimbursed for
all drafts honored by it under any Credit, comply in a timely manner
with:

(a) its obligations hereunder and under all security agreements,
mortgages or assignments securing the Obligations defined in Section 6
herein; and 

(b) the following covenants:

[ii] Customer shall furnish to Bank, within 45 days after the end of
each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year of Customer,
financial statements of Customer for the period from the beginning of
the fiscal year to the end of such quarter, all in reasonable detail and
satisfactory in scope to Bank;

[iii] Customer shall furnish to Bank such financial information
regarding Customer as Bank may from time to time reasonably request and
shall permit representatives of Bank to visit and inspect the properties
and books and records of Customer at any reasonable time and as often as
may reasonably be desired;

[iv] Customer shall pay all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental
charges upon it or against its properties prior to the date of which
penalties attach, unless and to the extent only that the same shall be
contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings;

[v] Customer shall maintain its corporate existence and not merge or
consolidate with or into any other corporation;

[vi] Customer shall furnish Bank with copies of the  quarterly financial
covenant calculation worksheets and annual compliance certificates
(collectively, the "Compliance Certificates") required pursuant to the
terms of that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 24, 1997
(hereafter referred to as the "Bank Credit Agreement") among Customer,
Bank One, Wisconsin, as Agent ("Agent") and Letter of Credit Issuing
Bank, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Documentation Agent and the Other
Financial Institutions party thereto (hereafter referred to collectively
as the "Banks");

[vii] Customer shall promptly notify Bank of the occurrence of any Event
of Default as defined herein, and of the occurrence or existence of any
event or circumstance that is likely to become, in the good faith
judgment of the Customer, an Event of Default;

[viii] Customer shall promptly furnish Bank with all notices of default
or breach of contract, and subsequent written communications related
thereto, it receives from any other lender, creditor or other person; 

[ix] Customer shall, upon request, furnish Bank with copies of any other
notices, disclosures, certificates and other written communications it
is required to furnish to any other lender, creditor or other person
pursuant to the terms of any agreement between Customer and such person;
and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined herein,
copies of all notices and other written communications it receives from
any other lender, creditor or other person;

[x] Customer shall establish, or cause one or more of its subsidiaries
to establish, a deposit account with Bank or with one of Bank's
affiliates, and maintain positive balances therein and/or pay associated
fees for services rendered.

5.  EXONERATING & INDEMNIFYING CLAUSES.  

(a) Reliance & Documents.  Delivery to Bank or any of its correspondents
of any documents purporting to comply with the requirements of a Credit
shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the sufficiency thereof and of
the good faith and proper performance of drawers and users of the
Credit, their agents and assignees. Bank and its correspondents may rely
thereon without liability or responsibility with respect thereto, even
if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged, except for willful
misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Bank. 

(b) Authority to Honor Payment Requests.  Bank is expressly authorized
and directed to honor any request for payment which is made under and in
compliance with the terms of a Credit without regard to, and without any
duty on the Bank's part to inquire into the existence of any disputes or
controversies between Customer, any beneficiary of any Credit or any
other person, firm, or corporation or the rights, duties or liabilities
of any of them.

(c) Non-Liability for Other Materials.  Bank shall not, except for gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Bank, be liable to
Customer or any third party for:

[i] the use which may be made of any Credit or for any act or omission
of any beneficiary thereof;

[ii] any delay in giving or failing to give any notice;

[iii] the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any document assigning
or purporting to assign the Credit or any benefits thereunder or any act
in reliance thereon;

[v] errors in translation or in the interpretation of technical term; or

[vi] errors, delay, misdeliveries or losses in transmission of
telegrams, cables, letters or other communications or documents or items
forwarded in connection with a Credit or any relative draft.

(d) Actions in Good Faith.  Any action taken or omitted by Bank or its
correspondents in connection with any Credit, any instructions of
Customers or any drafts, documents or merchandise relative thereto
shall, if in good faith, be conclusively deemed authorized by Customer,
whether expressly so or not, except for gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of Bank.

(e) Reliance on Wholly-owned Subsidiary Acts.  If any Credit shall have
been requested by Customer for the accommodation of a wholly-owned
subsidiary, any instruction, consent, approval and other action or
inaction of such wholly-owned subsidiary with respect to the Credit or
transactions thereunder shall be deemed to be the act or omission of
Customer for all purposes hereof, and Bank shall be entitled to rely
thereon.

(f) Indemnity.  Customer hereby indemnifies Bank and its correspondents
against any loss, cost, damage, expense (including any reasonable
charges for legal services) and/or liability whatsoever which they, or
any of them, may sustain, or incur on account of issuance of any Credit,
payment or acceptance of any draft relative thereto, refusal, or failure
to pay or accept any such draft, any action, or inaction respecting any
Credit instructions of Customer, drafts, documents or merchandise
relative to any Credit or any action or inaction in reliance on the
provisions hereof, except that Customer shall have a claim against Bank,
and Bank shall be liable to Customer, to the extent but only to the
extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential damages suffered by
Customer which Customer proves were caused by:

[i] Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether
documents presented under a Credit comply with the terms of the Credit;
or

[ii] Bank's willful failure to pay under a Credit after the presentation
to it by the beneficiary of the Credit or of a sight draft and
documentation strictly complying with the terms & conditions of the
Credit.

(g) Insurance.  Bank and its correspondents are authorized to accept and
receive as documents of insurance under a Credit or instructions of
Customer either insurance policies or certificates of insurance.

6.  SECURITY.  As security for any and all obligations and liabilities
of Customer under this Agreement, now existing or hereafter arising (the
"Obligations"), Customer grants to Bank a security interest in and lien
on any deposit account or other money now or hereafter owed Customer by
Bank (except for accounts the interest on which is exempt from federal
income tax), and Customer agrees that Bank may, at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, without prior notice or demand, set
off against any such accounts or other money, all or any part of the
unpaid balance of the Obligations. (All of the above described security,
together with additions, accessions and substitutions, shall be
collectively called the "Collateral").

Customer agrees to sign and/or deliver to Bank, upon Bank's request,
such documents as Bank may require to perfect, register or record a
security interest in any item of Collateral or to foreclose upon any
such item and to reimburse Bank for all costs relating thereto.  Bank
may at its option, require Customer to provide additional security for
the Obligations, whether caused by a decline in the value of the
existing Collateral or in the Event of Default, as defined herein.

7.  COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND INSURANCE.  Customer agrees to procure all
licenses required for import and export and to comply with all foreign
and domestic laws and regulations.  Customer shall, at its expense, keep
the Collateral insured under policies with such provisions for such
amounts and by such insurers as shall be satisfactory to Bank from time
to time, and shall furnish evidence of such insurance satisfactory to
Bank.  Customer assigns (and directs any insurer to pay) to Bank the
proceeds of all such insurance and any premium refund, authorizes Bank
to endorse in the name of the Customer any instrument for such proceeds
or refunds, and at the option of Bank, to apply such proceeds and
refunds to any unpaid balance of the Obligations, whether or not due,
and/or to restoration of the Collateral.  Bank is authorized in the name
of the Customer or otherwise, to make, adjust and settle claims under
and/or to cancel any insurance on the Collateral.  If Customer fails to
obtain or maintain such insurance, Bank may, but is not required to,
obtain or maintain the insurance and in such event the cost of such
insurance shall be added to the amount of Obligations.

8.  POWER OF ATTORNEY.  Customer irrevocably appoints Bank its attorney
in fact to execute, in the name of Customer, assignments, endorsements
or other instruments or documents of any kind or description coming into
the possession of Bank under a Credit or instruction of Customer, to
execute, file, register or record any document or instrument and to do
such other acts as a Customer may be required to do hereunder, upon
failure of Customer to so act.

9.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  If any one or more of the following Events of
Default shall occur:

(a) Customer fails to comply with any of the provisions of this
Agreement or of any security documents described in Section 6; or

(b) Customer dies, ceases to exist, becomes insolvent or the subject of
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; or

(c) Any representation by Customer in this Agreement or otherwise, made
to induce Bank to issue any Credit, is false in any material respect
when made; or 

(d) Customer is in default with respect to the Bank Credit Agreement and
such default(s) has (have) continued unremedied during the applicable
cure period(s) (or, provided and for so long as there is no demand for
payment by the Banks thereunder, in the case of Financial Covenants, as
defined in the Bank Credit Agreement, if such Financial Covenant
default(s) is (are) not waived by the Banks within 30 days from the date
upon which written notice thereof is given to the Customer by the
Agent); or

(e) Customer is in default with respect to that certain Indenture (the
"Indenture") dated as of September 24, 1997 between the Customer, The
Guarantors party thereto, and Harris Trust and Savings Bank as Trustee
covering the Customer s 9-3/4% Senior Notes Due 2007.


then all of the Obligations shall, at Bank's option and without notice
or demand, mature and become immediately due and payable with interest
at the per annum rate which is 2.50 percentage points in excess of the
Prime Rate as herein defined and Bank shall have all rights and remedies
for default provided in the security documents described in Section 6,
as well as applicable law.

10.  NONWAIVER.  Bank and its correspondents shall have no duty to
exercise any rights hereunder or otherwise with respect to any documents
or instruments relative to a Credit and shall not be liable for any
failure or delay in doing so.  Bank shall not be deemed to have waived
any of its rights hereunder unless Bank shall have signed such waiver in
writing.

11.  NOTICES.  Any notice or demand to Customer given by Bank shall be
deemed to have been delivered when deposited in the mail or transmitted
by facsimile to a number provided Bank by Customer, with a copy sent
immediately thereafter by first-class mail, in either case addressed to
the last address of any Customer appearing on the books of Bank.

12.  INTERPRETATION.  

(a) If this Agreement is signed by more than one party, "Customer" shall
be deemed to refer to all of the undersigned, all Obligations of
Customer hereunder shall be joint and several and the liabilities of
each shall be absolute and unconditional, regardless of the liability of
any other party hereto.

(b) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Wisconsin, EXCEPT as otherwise expressly
provided herein or in any Credit, Bank may rely for interpretation of
any Credit or instruction or documents related thereto or issued under
on in purported compliance with any of the above, on the Uniform Customs
and Practices for Documentary Credits published by the International
Chamber of Commerce (revision in effect at the time of the issuance of
the Credit).

(c) The invalidity or enforceability of any provision or portion of this
Agreement or any instrument, document or agreement executed or made
pursuant to or by virtue of this Agreement, shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision or portion.

13.  DURATION AND EFFECT OF AGREEMENT.  This Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect and shall apply with respect to every standby
letter of credit issued by Bank, at the request of Customer prior to
receipt by Bank of written notice to the contrary from Customer.  This
Agreement supersedes all previous agreements and understandings, either
written or oral, between Customer and Bank respecting any standby letter
of credit issued by Bank at the request of Customer.  This Agreement
shall be binding upon Customer, its personal representatives, successors
and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Bank, its successors and
assigns.
