Parker operates in two industry segments:  Industrial and Aerospace.  The
Industrial Segment is the largest and includes a significant  portion of
International operations.

Industrial - This segment produces a broad range of motion-control and
fluid systems and components used in all kinds of manufacturing, packaging,
processing, transportation, mobile construction, and agricultural and
military machinery and equipment.  Sales are direct to major original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and through a broad distribution network to
smaller OEMs and the aftermarket.

Aerospace - This segment designs and manufactures products and provides
aftermarket support for commercial, military and general-aviation aircraft,
missile and spacecraft markets. The Aerospace Segment provides a full range
of systems and components for hydraulic, pneumatic and fuel applications.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

               Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts


1.  Management Representation

    In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated 
    financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal 
    recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as 
    of September 30, 1997, the results of operations for the three months 
    ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and cash flows for the three months 
    then ended.


2.  Earnings per share

    Primary earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number 
    of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during 
    the period.  Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because 
    such dilution is not material.


3.  Stock repurchase program

    The Board of Directors has approved a program to repurchase the Company's 
    common stock on the open market, at prevailing prices. The repurchase 
    will be funded from operating cash flows and the shares will initially be 
    held as treasury stock. During the three-month period ended September 30, 
    1997 the Company purchased 263,645 shares of its common stock at an 
    average price of $43.497 per share.


4.  Acquisitions

    In September 1997 the Company acquired the assets of the Skinner and 
    Lucifer solenoid valve divisions of Honeywell. Skinner, headquartered in 
    New Britain, Connecticut and Lucifer, headquartered in Geneva, 
    Switzerland, had prior-year annual sales of approximately $94 million.

    In August 1997 the Company acquired the assets of EWAL Manufacturing of 
    Belleville, New Jersey, a leading producer of precision fittings and 
    valves. EWAL, with annual sales of $33 million, serves ultra-high-purity 
    markets for the semiconductor, analytical, laboratory and specialty gas 
    industries.

    Total purchase price for these businesses was approximately $140.2 
    million in cash. Both acquisitions are being accounted for by the 
    purchase method.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
               AND COMPARABLE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996



CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME

Net sales exceeded $1 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 1998, 
increasing 12.9 percent to $1,083.2 million. Prior-year first quarter sales 
were $959.3 million. Acquisitions within the past twelve months caused less 
than 1 percent of the current-year increase.

Income from operations for the quarter increased 44.7 percent to $130.8 
million. As a percent of sales the current-quarter operating income increased 
to 12.1 percent from 9.4 percent the prior year. Cost of sales, as a percent 
of sales, decreased to 76.4 percent from 78.6 percent. Selling, general and 
administrative expenses, as a percent of sales, decreased to 11.6 percent 
from 11.9 percent. Volume increases are improving capacity utilization and 
benefiting operating margins. In addition, previous years' acquisitions are 
now achieving higher margins as integration is being completed and synergies 
are improving operating efficiencies. 

Interest expense for the current-year quarter decreased $1.9 million due to 
lower average debt outstanding for the quarter. Funds from the additional 
Notes payable as of September 30, 1997 were borrowed late in the quarter.

Net Income for the quarter increased 53.1 percent to $78.3 million and 
increased to 7.2 percent of sales compared to 5.3 percent the prior-year 
quarter.

Backlog increased to $1.54 billion at September 30, 1997 compared to $1.36 
billion the prior year and $1.49 billion at June 30, 1997. 

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

INDUSTRIAL - Net sales of the Industrial Segment increased 11.3 percent to 
$849.9 million compared to $763.5 million the prior year. Industrial North 
American sales increased 16.2 percent while Industrial International sales 
increased 1.8 percent. Without the significant impact of currency-rate 
changes International sales volume increased more than 16 percent. A key 
factor for the quarter was the strength of nearly all of the industrial 
markets in North America and a continuing recovery in industrial markets 
overseas. Favorable economic conditions in Latin America also contributed to 
the volume growth.

Operating income for the Industrial Segment increased 34.7 percent to $109.8 
million. Industrial North America increased 30.7 percent and Industrial 
International increased 55.9 percent. North American operating income, as a 
percent of sales, increased to 15.3 percent from 13.6 percent while 
International increased to 7.6 percent from 5.0 percent. These increases 
reflect better capacity utilization as market demand improved, especially 
within the heavy duty truck, semiconductor fabrication and factory automation 
product markets, resulting in increased volume and a more profitable product 
mix.

Industrial Segment backlog increased 12.9 percent compared to a year ago, and 
2.4 percent since June 30, 1997. Business conditions appear favorable for the 
remainder of the fiscal year for both the North American and International 
operations. 

AEROSPACE - Net sales of the Aerospace Segment were up 19.2 percent for the 
quarter primarily due to the continuing strong upswing of the commercial 
aviation business. 

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>
Income from operations increased 76.4 percent year to year, resulting in 
Income from operations as a percent of sales increasing to 15.8 percent from 
10.7 percent. The current quarter benefited from a more favorable product mix 
as commercial aftermarket sales were especially strong. Increased volume 
throughout Aerospace has improved capacity utilization and has also 
contributed to the higher margins. Fiscal 1997 margins had been negatively 
impacted by the integration of the Abex acquisition.

Backlog for the Aerospace Segment increased 14.3 percent compared to a year 
ago and increased 4.6 percent since June 30, 1997. As backlog for the 
commercial aviation business continues to increase, management anticipates 
continuing growth for the Aerospace Segment. A change in product mix in the 
future, to heavier OEM volume, could result in lower margins than were 
achieved in the first quarter.

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased to $16.0 million for 
fiscal 1998 compared to $12.1 million the prior year. The increase is 
primarily due to the current classification of certain staff as Corporate 
rather than segment operating staff as in prior years.


BALANCE SHEET

Working capital decreased to $704.8 million at September 30, 1997 from $783.6 
million at June 30, 1997, with the ratio of current assets to current 
liabilities decreasing to 1.8 to 1. The decrease in working capital was 
primarily due to increased Notes payable as a result of recent acquisitions. 

Accounts receivable and Inventories increased since June 30, 1997, as a 
result of acquisitions within the Industrial segment and volume increases 
throughout both the Industrial and Aerospace operations. Days sales 
outstanding and months supply increased slightly during the quarter.

Other assets increased $110.1 million since June 30, 1997, primarily due to 
an increase in goodwill from acquisitions.

The increase in Accrued domestic and foreign taxes to $85.6 million at 
September 30, 1997 from $51.4 million at June 30, 1997 is essentially due to 
the timing of the quarterly income tax payments.

Other liabilities increased $13.5 million to $37.6 million at September 30, 
1997 primarily due to a reclassification from current Accrued liabilities 
resulting from participants electing to defer certain incentive compensation 
benefits.

The debt to debt-equity ratio increased to 28.1 percent at September 30, 1997 
compared to 24.5 percent as of June 30, 1997 primarily due to an increase in 
Notes payable.


STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

Net cash provided by operating activities was $73.3 million in fiscal 1998 
compared to $100.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The 
reduction in cash provided was primarily due to $43.5 million in cash used 
for increases in Accounts receivable and Inventories in the current year, 
compared to $22.9 million cash provided by decreases in fiscal 1997. Also, 
increases in long-term investments in the current year resulted in an 
incremental use of $20.0 million cash within Other assets. These uses were 
partially offset by the $27.2 million increase in Net income and a $20.1 
million reduction in the cash used for Accounts payable during the quarter.

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $195.2 million for fiscal 
1998 compared to $62.1 million for fiscal 1997 primarily due to an additional 
$126.4 million used for acquisitions. Capital expenditures also increased to 
$60.4 million in fiscal 1998 compared to $43.0 million in fiscal 1997.

Financing activities provided net cash of $93.4 million in fiscal 1998 as 
opposed to using cash of $34.8 million for the three months ended September 
30, 1996. The change resulted primarily from Notes payable providing cash of 
$120.7 million in fiscal 1998 compared to using cash of $14.4 million the 
prior year.

DIVISION A

EXPRESS TERMS OF THE SERIAL PREFERRED STOCK

1. The Serial Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in series. 
All shares of Serial Preferred Stock of any one series shall be 
identical with each other in all respects, except as to the date from 
which dividends thereon shall be cumulative.  All shares of Serial
Preferred Stock shall rank equally and shall be identical, except in 
respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as 
hereinafter provided. Subject to the provisions of sections 2 to 8, both 
inclusive, of this Division A, which provisions shall apply to all 
shares of Serial Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors is hereby 
authorized to cause such shares of Serial Preferred Stock to be issued 
in one or more series and with respect to each such series prior to the 
issuance thereof to fix:

(a) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing 
number, letter or title.

Directors may increase or decrease, except where otherwise provided in 
the creation of the series.

(c) The dividend rate of the series.

(d) The dates at which dividends, if declared, shall be payable, and the 
dates from which dividends shall be cumulative.

(e) The liquidation price of the series.

(f) The redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the 
series.

(g) The terms and amount of any sinking fund provided for the purchase 
or redemption of shares of the series.

Shares, and, if so, the conversion price or prices and the adjustments 
thereof, if any, and all other terms and conditions upon which such
conversion may be made.

6 (c) of this Division A) on the issuance of shares of the same series 
or of any other class or series.

The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time 
amendments to the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation fixing, 
with respect to each such series, the matters specified in clauses

                                    - 4 -
<PAGE>
2. The holders of Serial Preferred Stock of each series, in preference 
to the holders of Common Shares and any other class of shares ranking 
junior to the Serial Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to receive out 
of any funds legally available and when and as declared by the Board of 
Directors cash dividends at the rate (and no more) for such series fixed 
in accordance with the provisions of section 1 of this Division A, 
payable quarterly on the dates fixed for such series. Such dividends 
shall be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, 
from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series. No 
dividends may be paid upon or declared and set apart for any of the 
Serial Preferred Stock for any quarterly dividend period unless at the 
same time a like proportionate dividend for the same quarterly dividend 
period, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates
fixed therefor, shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for all 
Serial Preferred Stock of all series then outstanding and entitled to 
receive such dividend.

3. So long as any Serial Preferred Stock is outstanding, no dividend, 
except a dividend payable in Common Shares or any other shares of the 
Corporation ranking junior to the Serial Preferred Stock, shall be paid 
or declared or any distribution be made except as aforesaid on the 
Common Shares or any other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to 
the Serial Preferred Stock, nor shall any Common Shares or any other 
shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Serial Preferred Stock 
be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Corporation (except 
out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or any other shares of 
the Corporation ranking junior to the Serial Preferred Stock received by 
the Corporation subsequent to June 30, 1967):

(a) Unless all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Serial Preferred 
Stock, including the full dividends for the current quarterly dividend 
period, shall have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for 
payment thereof set apart; and

(b) Unless there shall be no default with respect to the redemption of 
Serial Preferred Stock of any series from, and no default with respect 
to any required payment into, any sinking fund provided for shares of 
such series in accordance with the provisions of section 1 of this 
Division A.

4. (a) Subject to the express terms of each series and to the provisions 
of section 6(b) (iii) of this Division A, the Corporation (i) may from 
time to time redeem all or any part of the Serial Preferred Stock of any 
series at the time outstanding at the option of the Board of Directors 
at the applicable redemption price for such series fixed in accordance 
with the provisions of section 1 of this Division A, or (ii) shall from 
time to time make such redemptions of the Serial Preferred Stock as may 
be required to fulfill the requirements of any sinking fund
provided for shares of such series at the applicable sinking fund 
redemption price fixed in accordance with the provisions of section 1 of 
this Division A, together in each case with accrued and unpaid dividends 

                                    - 5 -
<PAGE>
to the redemption date.

(b) Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, by first class 
mail, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Serial Preferred 
Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the
books of the Corporation, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior 
to the date fixed for such redemption. At any time before or after 
notice has been given as above provided, the Corporation may deposit the 
aggregate redemption price of the shares of Serial Preferred Stock to be 
redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the 
redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or 
New York, New York, having capital and surplus of more than $5,000,000, 
named in such notice, directed to be paid to the respective holders of 
the shares of Serial Preferred Stock so to be redeemed, in amounts equal 
to the redemption price of all shares of Serial Preferred Stock so to be 
redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the 
redemption date, on surrender of the stock certificate or certificates 
held by such holders, and upon the giving of such notice and the making 
of such deposit such holders shall cease to be shareholders with respect 
to such shares, and after such notice shall have been given and such 
deposit shall have been made such holders shall have no interest in or
claim against the Corporation with respect to such shares except only to 
receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or 
the right to exercise, before the redemption date, any unexpired rights 
of conversion. In case less than all of the outstanding shares of Serial 
Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select by 
lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed 
by its Board of Directors.

If the holders of shares of Serial Preferred Stock which shall have been 
called for redemption shall not, within six years after such deposit, 
claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or 
trust company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such 
unclaimed amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the 
Corporation shall be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof 
and to such holders.

(c) Any shares of Serial Preferred Stock which are redeemed by the 
Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this section 4 of this 
Division A and any shares of Serial Preferred Stock which are purchased 
and delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund requirements provided 
for shares of such series and any shares of Serial Preferred Stock which 
are converted in accordance with their express terms shall be cancelled 
and not reissued.  Any shares of Serial Preferred Stock otherwise 
acquired by the Corporation shall be restored to the status of
authorized and unissued shares of Serial Preferred Stock without serial 
designation.

5. (a) The holders of Serial Preferred Stock of any series shall, in
case of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, be 
entitled to receive in full out of the assets of the Corporation, 

                                    - 6 -
<PAGE>
including its capital, before any amount shall be paid or distributed 
among the holders of Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior
to the Serial Preferred Stock, the amounts fixed with respect to shares 
of such series in accordance with Section 1 of this Division A, plus in 
any such event an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid 
thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant to such 
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. In case
the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor are 
insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding shares of Serial 
Preferred Stock of the full preferential amount to which they are 
respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be distributed ratably 
upon outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock in proportion to the 
full preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

After payment to holders of Serial Preferred Stock of the full 
preferential amounts as aforesaid, holders of Serial Preferred Stock as 
such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the 
Corporation.

(b) The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any 
other corporation, or the merger of any other corporation into it, or 
the sale, lease, or conveyance of all or substantially all of the 
property or business of the Corporation, shall not be deemed to be a 
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation for the
purposes of this Section 5 of this Division A.

6. (a) The holders of Serial Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one 
vote for each share of such stock upon all matters presented to 
shareholders; and, except as otherwise provided herein or required by 
law, the holders of Serial Preferred Stock and the holders of Common 
Shares shall vote together as one class on all matters.

If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default in the payment 
of the equivalent of six quarterly dividends (whether or not 
consecutive) on any series of Serial Preferred Stock at the time 
outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, the holders of Serial 
Preferred Stock of all series voting separately as a class and in 
addition to all other rights to vote for Directors shall be entitled to 
elect, as herein provided, two members of the Board of Directors of the 
Corporation; provided, however, that the holders of shares of Serial 
Preferred Stock shall not have or exercise such special class voting 
rights except at meetings of the shareholders for the election of
Directors at which the holders of not less than a majority of the
outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock of all series are present 
in person or by proxy; and provided further that the special class 
voting rights provided for herein when the same shall have become vested 
shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on
the Serial Preferred Stock of all series then outstanding shall have 
been paid, whereupon the holders of Serial Preferred Stock shall be 
divested of their special class voting rights in respect of subsequent 
elections of Directors, subject to the revesting of such special class 
voting rights in the event herein above specified in this section 6 (a).

In the event of default entitling the holders of Serial Preferred Stock 

                                    - 7 -
<PAGE>
to elect two Directors as above specified, a special meeting of the 
shareholders for the purpose of electing such Directors shall be called 
by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request of, or may be 
called by, the holders of record of at least 10% of the shares of Serial 
Preferred Stock of all series at the time outstanding, and notice 
thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the 
annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that the Corporation 
shall not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting 
of shareholders shall be held within 90 days after the date of receipt 
of the foregoing written request from the holders of Serial Preferred 
Stock. At any meeting at which the holders of Serial Preferred Stock 
shall be entitled to elect Directors, the holders of not less than a 
majority of the outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock of all 
series, present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute 
a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so 
present at any such meeting at which there shall be a quorum shall be
sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors which the 
holders of Serial Preferred Stock are entitled to elect as herein before 
provided.

The two Directors who may be elected by the holders of Serial Preferred 
Stock pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be in addition to any 
other Directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than
pursuant to such provisions, and nothing in such provisions shall 
prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of Directors 
of the Corporation or require the resignation of any Director elected 
otherwise than pursuant to such provisions.

(b) The vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the 
then outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock, given in person or by 
proxy, either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose at which 
the holders of Serial Preferred Stock shall vote separately as a class, 
shall be necessary to effect any one or more of the following (but so 
far as the holders of Serial Preferred Stock are concerned, such action 
may be effected with such vote or consent):

(i) Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of the 
Articles of Incorporation or of the Code of Regulations of the 
Corporation which affects adversely the voting powers, rights or 
preferences of the holders of Serial Preferred Stock; provided, however, 
that for the purpose of this clause (i) only, neither the amendment of 
the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation to authorize, or to 
increase the authorized or outstanding number of shares of, Serial 
Preferred Stock or of any shares of any class ranking on a parity
with or junior to the Serial Preferred Stock, nor the increase by the 
shareholders pursuant to the Code of Regulations of the number of 
Directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely the 
voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of Serial Preferred 
Stock; and provided further, that if such amendment, alteration or 
repeal affects adversely the rights or preferences of one or more but 
not all then outstanding series of Serial Preferred Stock, only the vote 
or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the number of the 
then outstanding shares of the series so affected shall be required;

                                    - 8 -
<PAGE>
(ii) The authorization of, or the increase in the authorized number of, 
any shares of any class ranking prior to the Serial Preferred Stock; or

(iii) The purchase or redemption (whether for sinking fund purposes or 
otherwise) of less than all the then outstanding shares of Serial 
Preferred Stock except in accordance with a purchase offer made to all
holders of record of Serial Preferred Stock, unless all dividends on all 
Serial Preferred Stock then outstanding for all previous quarterly 
dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or funds therefor
set apart and all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable to all 
Serial Preferred Stock shall have been complied with.

(c) The vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the 
then outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock, given in person or by 
proxy, either in writing or at a meeting called for the purpose at which 
the holders of Serial Preferred Stock shall vote separately as a class, 
shall be necessary (but so far as the holders of Serial Preferred Stock 
are concerned such action may be effected with such vote or consent) to 
authorize any shares ranking on a parity with the Serial Preferred Stock 
or an increase in the authorized number of shares of Serial Preferred 
Stock.

7. No holder of Serial Preferred Stock of any series shall be entitled 
as such as a matter of right to subscribe for or purchase any part of 
any issue of shares of the Corporation, of any class whatsoever, or any 
part of any issue of securities convertible into shares of the 
Corporation, of any class whatsoever, and whether issued for cash,
property, services, or otherwise.

8. For the purposes of this Division A:

(a) Whenever reference is made to shares "ranking prior to the Serial 
Preferred Stock", such reference shall mean and include all shares of 
the Corporation in respect of which the rights of the holders thereof as 
to the payment of dividends or as to distributions in the event of a 
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the 
Corporation are given preference over the rights of the holders of 
Serial Preferred Stock.

(b) Whenever reference is made to shares "on a parity with the Serial 
Preferred Stock", such reference shall mean and include all shares of 
the Corporation in respect of which the rights of the holders thereof as 
to the payment of dividends or as to distributions in the event of a 
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the 
Corporation on an equality with the rights of the holders of Serial 
Preferred Stock.

(c) Whenever reference is made to shares "ranking junior to the Serial 
Preferred Stock", such reference shall mean and include all shares of 
the Corporation in respect of which the rights of the holders thereof as 
to the payment of dividends and as to distributions in the event of a 
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the 

                                    - 9 -

Corporation are junior or subordinate to the rights of the holders of 
Serial Preferred Stock.

2. The term "Interested Party" shall mean and include (a) any 
individual, corporation, partnership, trust or other person or entity 
which, together with its "affiliates" and "associates" (as those terms

prior to such merger or consolidation. Nothing contained in this
Article Fifth shall be construed to relieve any Interested Party from 
any fiduciary duties or obligations imposed by law.

D. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Amended Articles of 
Incorporation or the Regulations of the Corporation and notwithstanding 
the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, these Amended 
Articles or the Regulations of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of 
the holders of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the then 
outstanding shares shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal, 
or adopt any provisions inconsistent with, this Article Fifth; provided, 
however, that this paragraph D shall not apply to, and the eighty 
percent (80%) vote shall not be required for, any amendment, alteration, 
change or repeal recommended to the shareholders by the Board of 
Directors of the Corporation if the recommendation has been approved by 
at least two-thirds of the Continuing Directors.

SIXTH. These Amended Articles of Incorporation supersede the existing Articles
of Incorporation of the Corporation

        Parker-Hannifin Corporation 1993 Stock Incentive Program

                       Effective: April 22, 1993
                        Amended: August 15, 1996
                        Amended: October 22, 1997

1.   Purpose.

     The 1993 Stock Incentive Program is intended to help maintain and develop 
strong management through ownership of shares of the Corporation by key 
employees of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and for recognition of 
efforts and accomplishments which contribute materially to the success of the 
Corporation's business interests.

2.   Definitions.
     In this Program, except where the context otherwise indicates, the
following definitions apply:
     (a)  "Award" means a stock option, stock appreciation right ("SAR"), 
restricted stock, incentive share, dividend equivalent right ("DER"), or other
award under this Program.
     (b)  "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
     (c)  "Change in Control" means the occurrence of one of the following 
events: 
           (i) any "person" (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the 
     Exchange Act and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the 
     Exchange Act) is or becomes a "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 
     13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of 
     the Corporation representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of 
     the Corporation's then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the 
     election of the Board (the "Corporation's Voting Securities"); provided, 
     however, that the event described in this paragraph shall not be deemed 
     to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following situations: 
     (A) an acquisition by the Corporation or any Subsidiary; (B) an 
     acquisition by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the 
     Corporation or any Subsidiary; (C) an acquisition by any underwriter 
     temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such 
     securities; (D) a Non-Control Transaction (as defined in paragraph 
     (iii)); (E) as pertains to an individual Grantee, any acquisition by the 
     Grantee or any group of persons (within the meaning of Sections 13(d)(3) 
     and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) including the Grantee (or any entity in 
     which the Grantee or a group of persons including the Grantee, directly 
     or indirectly, holds a majority of the voting power of such entity's 
     outstanding voting interests); or (F) the acquisition of Corporation 
     Voting Securities from the Corporation, if a majority of the Board 
     approves a resolution providing expressly that the acquisition pursuant 
     to this clause (F) does not constitute a Change in Control under this 
     paragraph (i);

           (ii)   individuals who, at the beginning of any period of twenty-
     four (24) consecutive months, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent 
     Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; 
     provided, that (A) any person becoming a director subsequent to the 


                                    - 1 -
<PAGE>
     beginning of such twenty-four (24) month period, whose election, or 
     nomination for election, by the Corporation's shareholders was approved 
     by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors comprising the 
     Incumbent Board who are then on the Board (either by a specific vote or 
     by approval of the proxy statement of the Corporation in which such 
     person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such 
     nomination) shall be, for purposes of this paragraph (ii), considered as 
     though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; provided, 
     however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director 
     of the Corporation as a result of an actual or threatened election 
     contest with respect to directors or any other actual or threatened 
     solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other 
     than the Board shall be deemed to be a member of the Incumbent Board;

           (iii)   the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange 
     or similar form of corporate reorganization of the Corporation or any 
     Subsidiary that requires the approval of the Corporation's stockholders, 
     whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in connection 
     with the transaction or otherwise (a "Business Combination"), unless (A) 
     immediately following such Business Combination: (1) more than 50% of the 
     total voting power of the corporation resulting from such Business 
     Combination (the "Surviving Corporation") or, if applicable, the ultimate 
     parent corporation which directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership 
     of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the 
     Surviving Corporation (the "Parent Corporation"), is represented by 
     Corporation Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to 
     the Business Combination (or, if applicable, shares into which such 
     Corporation Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business 
     Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in 
     substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Corporation 
     Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the 
     Business Combination, (2) no person (other than any employee benefit plan 
     sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent 
     Corporation) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, 
     of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting 
     securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if 
     there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), and (3) at 
     least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent 
     Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving 
     Corporation), following the Business Combination, were members of the 
     Incumbent Board at the time of the Board's approval of the execution of 
     the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (a "Non-
     Control Transaction") or (B) the Business Combination is effected by 
     means of the acquisition of Corporation Voting Securities from the 
     Corporation, and a majority of the Board approves a resolution providing 
     expressly that such Business Combination does not constitute a Change in 
     Control under this paragraph (iii); or


                                    - 2 -
<PAGE>
           (iv)   the stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of 
     complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation or the sale or 
     other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the 
     Corporation and its Subsidiaries.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to 
occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% 
of the Corporation Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of 
Corporation Voting Securities by the Corporation which, by reducing the number
of Corporation Voting Securities outstanding, increases the percentage of 
shares beneficially owned by such person; provided, that if a Change in 
Control would occur as a result of such an acquisition by the Corporation (if 
not for the operation of this sentence), and after the Corporation's 
acquisition such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Corporation 
Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Corporation 
Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control shall 
then occur.

     Notwithstanding anything in this Program to the contrary, if a Grantee's 
employment is terminated prior to a Change in Control, and the Grantee 
reasonably demonstrates that such termination was at the request of a third 
party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to 
effect a Change in Control, (a "Third Party"), then for all purposes of this 
Program, the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of 
employment shall be deemed to be the date of a Change in Control for such 
Grantee.

     (d)  "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code, as in effect from time to 
time.
     (e)  "Compensation and Management Development Committee" or "Committee" 
means the committee of the Board so designated.  The Committee will be

     (h)  "Detrimental activity" means activity that is  determined in 
individual cases, by the Committee or its express delegate, to be detrimental 
to the interests of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, including without 
limitation (i) the rendering of services for an organization, or engaging in a 
business, that is, in the judgment of the Committee or its express delegate, 
in competition with the Corporation; (ii) the disclosure to any one outside of 
the Corporation, or the use for any purpose other than the Corporation's 
business, of confidential information or material related to the Corporation, 
whether acquired by the employee during or after employment with the 
Corporation; or (iii) fraud, embezzlement, theft-in-office or other illegal 
activity.

     (z) "Year" means fiscal year.

3.   Eligibility. 
     The selection of eligible employees to receive awards will be within the

awards.

4.   Administration.
     (a)  The Committee shall administer this Program.  The Committee will, 
subject to the terms of the Program, have the authority to (i) select the 
eligible employees who will receive awards; (ii) grant awards; (iii) determine 
the number and types of awards to be granted to employees; (iv) determine the 
terms, conditions, vesting periods and restrictions applicable to awards;
(v) adopt, alter and repeal administrative rules and practices governing this 
Program; (vi) interpret the terms and provisions of this Program and any 
awards granted under this Program; (vii) prescribe the forms of any notices of 
awards or other instruments relating to awards; and (viii) otherwise supervise 
the administration of this Program.  All decisions by the Committee will be 
made with the approval of not less than a majority of its members.
     (b)  All determinations and interpretations pursuant to the provisions of 
this Program shall be binding and conclusive upon the individual employees 
involved and all persons claiming under them.
     (c)  With respect to Insiders, transactions under this Program are 
intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3.  To the 
extent any provision of this Program or any action by the Committee under this 
Program fails to so comply, such provision or action shall, without further 
action by any person, be deemed to be automatically amended to the extent 
necessary to effect compliance with Rule 16b-3, provided that if such 
provision or action cannot be amended to effect such compliance, such 
provision or action shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by 
law and deemed advisable by the appropriate authority. Each award to an 
Insider under this Program shall be deemed issued subject to the foregoing 
qualification.
     (d)  An award under this Program is not transferable except, as provided 
in the award, by will, pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution, or 
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and is not subject, in whole 
or in part, to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind.  The designation by 
a grantee of a designated beneficiary shall not constitute a transfer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an employee may transfer any nonqualified stock 
option granted under this Plan to members of his immediate family (defined as 

                                    - 5 -
<PAGE>
his children, grandchildren and spouse) or to one or more trusts for the 
benefit of such family members or partnerships in which such family members 
are the only partners if the instrument evidencing such stock option expressly 
so provides (or is amended to so provide) and the employee does not receive 
any consideration for the transfer; provided that any such transferred stock 
option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that 
are applicable to such stock option immediately prior to its transfer (except 
that such transferred stock option shall not be further transferable by the 
transferee inter vivos).
     (e)  Any rights with respect to an award granted under this Program 
existing after the grantee dies are exercisable by the grantee's designated 
beneficiary or, if there is no such designated beneficiary who may, and does, 
lawfully do so, by the grantee's personal representative.
     (f)  Except as otherwise provided herein, a particular form of award may 
be granted to an eligible employee either alone or in addition to other awards 
hereunder.  The provisions of particular forms of award need not be the same 
with respect to each recipient.
     (g)  The Committee may delegate any of its authority to any other person 
or persons that it deems appropriate, provided the delegation does not cause 
the Program or any awards granted under this Program to fail to qualify for 
the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3.
     (h)  This Program and all action taken under it shall be governed by the 
laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect to the principles of conflict 
of laws thereof.

5.   Term.
     This Program will continue in effect until terminated by the Board. 

6.   Awards That May Be Granted.
     The aggregate number of shares that may be subject to awards granted 
under this Program in any fiscal year, subject to adjustment as provided in 
Section 7 below, will be equal to the sum of (a) one and one-half percent 
(1.5%) of the number of shares outstanding on the last day of the previous 
fiscal year; plus (b) the number of shares that were available for the grant 
of awards in previous fiscal years; provided, that, in no event will the 
number of shares available for the grant of awards in any fiscal year exceed 
two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the shares outstanding on the last day of 
the previous fiscal year.  The aggregate number of shares that may be issued 
upon exercise of ISOs is 1,000,000. When an unexercised award lapses, expires, 
terminates or is forfeited, the related shares may be available for 
distribution in connection with future awards but will continue to be subject 
to the 2.5% maximum described above.  The assumption of awards granted by an
organization acquired by the Corporation, or the grant of awards under this 
Program in substitution for any such awards, will not reduce the number of 
shares available in any fiscal year for the grant of awards under this 
Program.

7.   Adjustments.
     In the event that the Committee shall determine that any stock dividend, 
extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, 
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants 
or rights offering to purchase common stock of the Corporation at a price 

                                    - 6 -
<PAGE>
substantially below fair market value, or other similar corporate event 
affects the common stock of the Corporation such that an adjustment is 
required in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to 
be made available under this Program, then the Committee shall, in its sole 
discretion, and in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable, adjust any 
or all of (a) the number and kind of shares which thereafter may be the 
subject of Awards under this Program, (b) the number and kind of shares 
subject to outstanding Awards, and (c) the exercise price with respect to any 
of the foregoing.

8.   Stock Options.
     One or more stock options can be granted to any eligible employee.  No 
employee may be granted stock options for more than 500,000 shares of common
stock in any three-year period.  Each stock option so granted shall be subject 
to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose.  The exercise 
price per share shall be specified by the grant, but shall in no instance be 
less than 100 percent of fair market value at the time of grant.  Payment of 
the exercise price shall be made in cash, shares, or other consideration, or 
any combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of this Program and any 
applicable regulations of the Committee in effect at the time and valued at 
fair market value on the date of exercise of the stock option. Stock options 
granted hereunder may be designated as ISOs (except to the extent otherwise 
specified in this Section 8) or nonqualified stock options.  To the extent 
that the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which stock 
options designated as ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any grantee 
during any year (under all plans of the Corporation and any Subsidiary 
thereof) exceeds $100,000, such stock options shall be treated as not being 
ISOs.  ISOs must comply with requirements of Section 422 of the Code.

9.   Stock Appreciation Rights.
     (a)  An SAR may be granted to an eligible employee as a separate award 
hereunder.  Any such SAR shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the 
Committee shall impose, which shall include provisions that (i) such SAR shall 
entitle the holder thereof, upon exercise thereof in accordance with such SAR 
and the regulations of the Committee, to receive from the Corporation that 
number of shares having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the fair 
market value, at the time of exercise of such SAR, of one share over the 
exercise price per share specified by the grant of such SAR (which shall in no 
instance be less than 100 percent of fair market value at the time of grant) 
times the number of shares specified in such SAR, or portion thereof, which is 
so exercised.
     (b)  Any stock option granted under this Program may include an SAR, 
either at the time of grant or by amendment.  An SAR included in a stock 
option shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall 
impose, which shall include provisions that
          (i) such SAR shall be exercisable to the extent, and only to the 
     extent, the stock option is exercisable; and 
          (ii) such SAR shall entitle the optionee to surrender to the 
     Corporation unexercised the stock option in which the SAR is included, 
     or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Corporation in exchange 
     therefor that number of shares having an aggregate value equal to the 


                                    - 7 -
<PAGE>
     excess of the fair market value, at the time of exercise of such SAR, of 
     one share over the exercise price specified in such stock option times 
     the number of shares specified in such stock option, or portion thereof, 
     which is so surrendered.
     (c)  In lieu of the right to receive all or any specified portion of such 
shares, an SAR may entitle the holder thereof to receive the cash equivalent 
thereof as specified by the grant.
     (d)  An SAR may provide that such SAR shall be deemed to have been 
exercised at the close of business on the business day preceding the 
expiration of such SAR or the related stock option, if any, if at such time 
such SAR has positive value and would have expired.

10.  Restricted Stock.
     (a)  An award of restricted stock may be granted hereunder to an eligible 
employee, for no cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be 
required by applicable law, or for such other consideration as may be 
specified by the grant.  The terms and conditions of restricted stock, 
including the vesting period, shall be specified by the Committee, at its sole 
discretion, in the grant.
     (b)  Any restricted stock issued hereunder may be evidenced in such 
manner as the Committee in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate, 
including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock 
certificate or certificates.  In the event any stock certificate is issued in 
respect of shares of restricted stock awarded hereunder, such certificate 
shall bear an appropriate legend with respect to the restrictions applicable 
to such award.

11.  Incentive Shares.
     (a)  An incentive award may be granted hereunder in the form of shares. 
Incentive shares may be granted to an eligible employee for no cash 
consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable 
law, or for such other consideration as may be specified by the grant.  The 
terms and conditions of incentive shares shall be specified by the grant. 
     (b)  Incentive shares may be paid to the grantee in a single installment 
or in installments and may be paid at the time of grant or deferred to a later 
date or dates.  Each grant shall specify the time and method of payment as 
determined by the Committee.

12.  Dividend Equivalent Rights; Interest Equivalents.
     (a)  A DER may be granted hereunder to an eligible employee, as a 
component of another award or as a separate award.  The terms and conditions 
of DERs shall be specified by the grant.  Dividend equivalents credited to the 
holder of a DER may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in 
additional shares (which may thereafter accrue additional dividend 
equivalents).  Any such reinvestment shall be at fair market value at the time 
thereof. DERs may be settled in cash or shares or a combination thereof, in a 
single installment or installments.  A DER granted as a component of another 
award may provide that such DER shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or 
payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other award, and that such DER 
shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such 
other award. A DER granted as a component of another award may also contain 
terms and conditions different from such other award.

                                    - 8 -
<PAGE>
     (b)  Any award under this Program that is settled in whole or in part in 
cash on a deferred basis may provide by the grant for interest equivalents to 
be credited with respect to such cash payment.  Interest equivalents may be 
compounded and shall be paid upon such terms and conditions as may be 
specified by the grant.  

13.  Deferral of Payment.
     With the approval of the Committee, the delivery of shares, cash or any 
combination thereof subject to an award may be deferred, either in the form of 
installments or a single future delivery.  The Committee may also permit 
selected grantees to defer payment of some or all of their awards, as well as 
other compensation, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee 
to assure that recognition of taxable income is deferred under the Code.

14.  Termination of Employment.
     If the employment of a grantee terminates for any reason, all 
unexercised, deferred and unpaid awards may be exercisable and paid only in 
accordance with rules established by the Committee.  These rules may provide, 
as the Committee deems appropriate, for the expiration, continuation, or 
acceleration of the vesting of all or part of the awards.

15.  Detrimental Activity.
     The Committee may cancel any unexpired, unpaid or deferred awards at any 
time if the grantee is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of 
this Program or with the terms of any notice of award or if the grantee 
engages in detrimental activity. The Committee may, in its discretion and as a 
condition to the exercise of an award, require a grantee to acknowledge that 
he or she is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Program and 
of any notice of award and has not engaged in any detrimental activity.

16.  Change in Control.
     The Committee may in its discretion and upon such terms as it deems 
appropriate, accelerate the date on which any outstanding option or SAR 
becomes exercisable or waive the restrictions or other terms and conditions on 
the vesting of any restricted or incentive shares in the event of a proposed 
change in control of the Corporation.  In addition to the foregoing, the 
Corporation may, with the approval of the Committee, purchase stock options 
previously granted to any person who is at the time of any such transaction an 
employee of the Corporation for a price equal to the difference between the 
consideration per share payable pursuant to the terms of the transaction and 
the option price.

17.  Substitute Awards.
     The Committee may grant awards in substitution for, or upon the 
assumption of, awards granted by another corporation that is merged into, 
consolidated with, or all or a substantial part of the assets or stock of 
which is acquired by the Corporation or a Subsidiary.  The terms and 
provisions of any awards granted under this Section 16 may vary from the terms 
and provisions otherwise specified in this Program and may, instead, 
correspond to the terms and provisions of the awards granted by the other 
corporation.

18.  Amendments to This Program; Amendments of Outstanding Awards. 
     (a)  The Board can from time to time amend or terminate this Program, or 
any provision hereof.  Approval of the shareholders of the Corporation will be 
required only to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 or any other 
applicable law, regulation, or listing requirement, or to qualify for an 
exemption or characterization that is deemed desirable by the Board.
     (b)  The Committee may, in its discretion, amend the terms of any award, 
prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment may impair the rights of 
any grantee without his or her consent. The Committee may, in whole or in 
part, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to, or accelerate the 
vesting of, any award.

19.  Withholding Taxes.
     The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from any cash payment made 
under this Program any federal, state or local income or other taxes required 
by law to be withheld with respect to such payment.  It shall be a condition 
to the obligation of the Corporation to deliver shares or securities of the 
Corporation upon exercise of a stock option or SAR, upon settlement of a DER, 
upon delivery of restricted stock or incentive shares, or upon exercise,
settlement, or payment of any other award under this Program, that the grantee 
of such award pay to the Corporation such amount as may be requested by the 
Corporation for the purpose of satisfying any liability for such withholding 
taxes.  Any award under this Program may provide by the grant that the grantee 
of such award may elect, in accordance with any applicable regulations of the 
granting authority, to pay a portion or all of the amount of such minimum 
required or additional permitted withholding taxes in shares.  The grantee 
shall authorize the Corporation to withhold, or shall agree to surrender back 
to the Corporation, on or about the date such withholding tax liability is 
determinable, shares previously owned by such grantee or a portion of the 
shares that were or otherwise would be distributed to such grantee pursuant to 
such award having a fair market value equal to the amount of such required or
permitted withholding taxes to be paid in shares.

20.  Grants of Awards to Employees Who are Foreign Nationals.
     Without amending this Program, but subject to the limitations specified 
in Section 18 above, the Committee can grant, amend, administer, annul, or 
terminate awards to eligible employees who are foreign nationals on such terms 
and conditions different from those specified in this Program as may in the 
judgment of the granting authority be necessary or desirable to foster and 
promote achievement of the purposes of this Program.

21.  Rights of Employees.
     Nothing in this Program will confer upon any grantee the right to 
continued employment by the Corporation or limit in any way the Corporation's 
right to terminate any grantee's employment at will.

22.  Effective Date.
     This Program was ratified by the Board and became effective on 
April 22, 1993, subject to approval of the shareholders on or before 
October 28, 1993.  Awards may be granted prior to approval of the Program by 
shareholders, but no such award may be exercised until after the Program has 
been approved by shareholders.  If the shareholders do not approve the Program 
on or before October 28, 1993, all awards granted under the Program shall 
terminate.
