<PAGE> PART I
Item 1.BUSINESS
General
The company engineers, manufactures and markets a broad range of
specialized trucks, chassis, trailers, and proprietary parts under the
"Oshkosh" trademark. As a specialized vehicle producer, the company holds
a unique position in the industry, having acquired the engineering and
manufacturing expertise and flexibility to profitably build specialty
vehicles in competition with companies much larger than itself. Mass
producers design a vehicle to serve many markets. In contrast, the
company's vehicles, manufactured in low to medium production volumes, are
engineered for market niches where a unique, innovative design will meet a
purchaser's requirements for use in specific, usually adverse operating
conditions. Many of the company's products are found operating in snow,
deserts and soft or rough terrain where there is a need for high
performance or high mobility. Because of the quality of its specialized
vehicles, the company believes its products perform at lower life cycle
costs than those that are mass-produced.
Markets served by the company domestically and internationally are
categorized as defense and commercial. Since 1980, specialized vehicles
sales to the defense market have significantly increased and in fiscal
1994 represented 62% of the company's sales volume, after reaching a peak
of 83% in fiscal 1987.
The company primarily depends upon components made by suppliers for
its products, but manufactures certain important proprietary components.
The company has successfully managed its supply network, which consists of
approximately 2,000 active vendors. Through its reliance on this supply
network for the purchase of certain components, the company is able to
avoid many of the preproduction and fixed costs associated with the
manufacture of those components. However, while the company purchases
many of the high dollar components for assembly, such as engines,
transmissions and axles, it does have significant machining and
fabricating capability. This capability is used for the manufacture of
certain axles, transfer cases, cabs and many smaller parts which add
uniqueness and value to the company's products. Some of these proprietary
components are marketed to other manufacturers.
Products and Markets
The company currently manufactures 8 different series of commercial
trucks and 5 series of motorized chassis, and during fiscal 1994, had two
active contracts with the U.S. Government. Within each series there is a
varying number of models. Models are usually distinguished by differences
in engine, transmission, and axle combinations. Vehicles produced range
in price from $14,000 to $1 million; in horsepower from 105 to 1,025; and
in gross vehicle weight from 10,000 to 150,000 pounds. The company has
designed vehicles to operate in the environmental extremes of arctic cold
or desert heat. With the exception of motorized chassis, most vehicles
are designed with the capability to operate in both highway and off-road
conditions. Oshkosh manufactures a broad range of trailers including
vans, flatbed, container chassis, fruit haulers, and a variety of military
trailers. The company aggressively supports its products with an
aftermarket parts and service organization.
Defense
The company manufactures a range of military vehicles for the U.S.
Department of Defense and export markets and is the free world's largest
producer of heavy-duty military wheeled vehicles. The company has
performed major defense work for the past 50 years. Contracts with the
Department of Defense generally are multi-year contracts. Each contract
provides that the government will purchase a base quantity of vehicles
with options for additional purchases. All obligations of the government
under the contracts are subject to receipt of government funding, and it
is customary to expect purchases when Congress has funded the purchase
through budget appropriations and after the government has committed the
funds to the contractor. The following are defense contracts that were
active in fiscal 1994:
Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET). In January 1990 the company was
awarded a $214 million contract for the production of 1,044 M1070 HETs.
This contract also contained an option for an additional 522 units. The
eight wheel drive M1070 HET is primarily designed to haul the Army's main
battle tank, but also transports other tanks, fighting and recovery
vehicles, self-propelled howitzers, and construction equipment. First
article test approval was received by the company in February 1994.
Production deliveries began in August 1992 and are substantially complete
as of September 1994. The contract is funded at $281.8 million for the
base quantity of 1,044 units and exercised options of 310 units. As of
September 30, 1994, the company has delivered 1331 units under the
contract and will deliver 23 units during 1995. In addition to the U.S.
Army contract, the company produced 50 M1070 HET vehicles for the
government of Saudi Arabia in 1993.
Palletized Load System (PLS). In July 1990 the company was selected
as the producer of the Army's new generation heavy-duty transport truck.
This ten wheel drive truck self-loads and unloads flatracks carrying
palletized cargo. The five year contract for 2,626 units and associated
trailers and flatracks was awarded in September 1990. This contract
contains a 100% option clause. The company received first article test
approval on January 3, 1994. Production began in early 1992 and will
conclude approximately August 1996. The company has produced 1,703 units
as of September 30, 1994. If options are exercised, it will extend the
production period or increase the rate of production. The contract is
currently funded at $897 million for 2,683 trucks under all five program
years, and there is $247 million available under unexercised options.
Backlog at September 30, 1994 was $386 million, which will be produced
ratably through August 1996.
Commercial
The company manufactures a range of vehicles for commercial markets.
The S-series is a forward placement concrete carrier that offers
advantages over conventional rear discharge trucks in that the concrete is
placed from the front of the truck, in full view of the driver while in
the cab, providing superior productivity and customer service.
The company serves municipal markets with products that include
Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting (ARFF), snow removal vehicles and waste
transport vehicles. The company believes itself to be the world's largest
producer of ARFF vehicles and produces four models of varying water
capacities. The multi-purpose airport snow removal vehicle is a snow
blower with interchangeable blade plows and brooms. The P-series is a
line of heavy duty, high speed snow plow vehicles. The company has three
model series of refuse vehicles, the A, NC, and NL. These vehicles are
sold to private contractors as well as municipalities.
The company manufactures its L, M, X, V, and S lines of motorized
chassis for sale to manufacturers of motorhomes, buses and delivery step
vans. The company offers the broadest model line in the industry and has
developed a strong niche in the diesel segment of the market.
Other product lines include F-series construction, utility, and heavy
haul transport vehicles, and J-series desert oil field service and heavy
haul transport vehicles.
The company is engaged in the production of trailers that are
marketed under the Oshkosh trademark to commercial and military markets.
The company is marketing its proprietary components to original
equipment manufacturers. Front-driving axles, transfer cases, all wheel
steer, independent suspension, central tire inflation systems (CTIS), and
axle wheel ends are currently being supplied to other original equipment
manufacturers.
Backlog
The company has a funded backlog as of September 30, 1994, of $512
million. The backlog as of September 25, 1993, was $459 million. The
majority of the current backlog relates to funded base and option
quantities under the company's existing defense contracts. Approximately
13% of the current backlog relates to firm orders for commercial trucks,
motorized chassis products, trailers, or non-military parts sales. In
addition, option quantities under the existing defense contracts could
amount to another $255 million, if exercised.
Government Contracts
A significant portion of the company's sales are made to the United
States government under long-term contracts and programs in which there
are significant risks, including the uncertainty of economic conditions
and defense policy. The company's defense business is substantially
dependent upon periodic awards of new contracts and the purchase of base
vehicle quantities and the exercise of options under existing contracts.
The company's existing contracts with the U.S. Government may be
terminated at any time for the convenience of the government. Upon such
termination, the company would be entitled to reimbursement of its
incurred costs and, in general, to payment of a reasonable profit for work
actually performed.
There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will continue to
purchase the company's products at comparable levels. The termination of
any of the company's significant contracts, failure of the government to
purchase quantities under existing contracts or failure of the company to
receive awards of new contracts could have a material adverse effect on
the business operations of the company.
Under firm fixed-price contracts with the government, the price paid
the company is not subject to adjustment to reflect the company's actual
costs, except costs incurred as a result of contract changes ordered by
the government or for economic price adjustment clauses contained in
certain contracts. The company generally attempts to negotiate with the
government the amount of increased compensation to which the company is
entitled for government-ordered changes which result in higher costs. In
the event that the company is unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement
to provide such increased compensation, the company may file an appeal
with the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals or the U.S. Claims
Court. The company has no such appeals pending.
Marketing and Distribution
All domestic defense products are sold direct and the company
maintains a liaison office in Washington, D.C. The company also sells
defense products to foreign governments direct, through representatives,
or under the United States Foreign Military Sales program. The company's
commercial vehicle, chassis and trailer products and aftermarket parts are
sold either direct to customers or through dealers or distributors,
depending upon geographic area and product line. Supplemental information
relative to export shipments is incorporated by reference to Note 8 of the
financial statements included in the company's Annual Report to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994.
Competition
In all the company's markets, the competitors include smaller,
specialized manufacturers as well as the larger, mass producers. The
company believes it has greater technical strength and production
capability than other specialized manufacturers. The company also
believes it has greater flexibility than larger competitors and has the
engineering and manufacturing expertise in the low to middle production
volumes that allows it to compete effectively in its markets against mass
producers.
The principal method of competition for the company in the defense
and municipal markets, where there is intense competition, is generally on
the basis of lowest qualified bid. In the non-governmental markets, the
company competes mainly on the basis of price, innovation, quality and
product performance capabilities.
Engineering, Test and Development
For fiscal years 1994, 1993, and 1992 the company incurred
engineering, research and development expenditures of $8.2 million, $11.0
million, and $10.9 million, respectively, portions of which were
recoverable from customers, principally the government. The company does
not believe that patents are a significant factor in its business success.
Employees
As of September 30, 1994, the company had approximately 1,900
employees. Production workers at the company's principal facilities in
Oshkosh, Wisconsin are represented by the United Auto Workers union. The
company's five-year contract with the United Auto Workers expires
September 30, 1996.
Item 2. PROPERTIES.
The company's principal offices and manufacturing facilities are
located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Space occupied encompasses 697,761 square
feet, 80,658 of which is leased. One half of the space owned by the
company has been constructed since 1970. The company owns approximately
50 acres of vacant land adjacent to its existing facilities. The company
owns a 153,600 sq. ft. chassis manufacturing plant in Gaffney, SC, and the
trailer office and manufacturing facility with 287,000 sq. ft. located in
Bradenton, FL.
The company's equipment and buildings are modern, well maintained and
adequate for its present and anticipated needs.
In addition, the company has leased parts and service facilities in
Hartford, CT, Greensboro, NC, Chicago, IL and Salt Lake City, UT, and owns
similar facilities in Lakeland, FL and Oshkosh, WI.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Various actions or claims have been brought or asserted or may be
contemplated by government authorities against the company. Among these
is a potential action by government authorities against the company in
connection with a grand jury investigation which commenced on April 28,
1989. No charges have been filed against the company or its employees.
The company and its employees have cooperated fully with the government
investigation.
Based on internal reviews and after consultation with counsel, the
company does not have sufficient information to reasonably estimate what
potential future costs, if any, the company may incur as a result of the
government claims or actions. As a result, no provision related to these
issues has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Costs
incurred in responding to these actions and claims have been expensed as
incurred.
Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994.

Corporation's continued growth and development and to its long-term
financial success. All Non-Employee Directors shall receive grants of
Options as provided in Section 6A.
Section 4. Stock Subject to Plan
4.1 Number. The total number of shares of Stock subject to
issuance under the Plan may not exceed eight hundred twenty five thousand
(825,000). The total number of shares of Stock subject to issuance

one person may not exceed 150,000. The limitations set forth in this
Section 4.1 are subject to adjustment upon occurrence of any of the events
indicated in Subsection 4.3. The shares to be delivered under the Plan

treasury Stock, not reserved for any other purpose.
4.2 Unused Stock; Unexercised Rights. In the event any shares
of stock are subject to an Option which, for any reason, expires or is
terminated unexercised as to such shares, or any shares of Stock, subject

in the outstanding shares of Stock (including an exchange of the Stock for

the number and type of shares subject to Restricted Stock grants then
outstanding under the Plan pursuant to the terms of such grants or
otherwise. In the event of any other change in the Stock, the Committee
shall in its sole discretion determine whether such change equitably
requires a change in the number or type of shares subject to any
outstanding Stock Option or Restricted Stock grant and any such adjustment
made by the Committee shall be conclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Options subject to grant or previously granted to Non-Employee Directors
under the Plan at the time of any event described in this Section 4.3
shall be subject to only such adjustments as shall be necessary to
maintain the relative proportionate interest of the Non-Employee Directors
and preserve, without exceeding, the value of such Options.
Section 5. Duration of Plan

to the Board's right to earlier terminate the Plan pursuant to Subsection
10.3 hereof, until all Stock subject to it shall have been purchased or
acquired pursuant to the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Option or Restricted Stock may be granted under the Plan on
or after March 29, 2004.
Section 6. Stock Options
6.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4
and 5, Options may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to
time as shall be determined by the Committee. Non-Employee Directors
shall not be eligible to be granted Options under the Plan, except as
provided in Section 6A. The Committee shall have complete discretion in
determining the number of Options granted to each Participant. The
Committee also shall determine whether an Option is to be an incentive
stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or a
nonstatutory stock option. However, in no event shall the Fair Market
Value (determined at the date of grant) of Stock with respect to which
incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by a
Participant during any calendar year exceed one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000). Nor shall any incentive stock option be granted to any person
who owns, directly or indirectly, stock possessing more than ten percent
(10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Corporation ("Ten Percent Stockholder"). Nothing in this Section 6 of the
Plan shall be deemed to prevent the grant of nonstatutory stock options in
excess of the maximum established by Section 422 of the Code.
6.2 Option Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an
Option agreement that shall specify the type of Option granted, the Option
price, the duration of the Option, the number of shares of Stock to which
the Option pertains and such other provisions as the Committee shall
determine.
6.3 Option Price. No Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall
have an Option price that is less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock
on the date the Option is granted.
6.4 Duration of Options. Each Option shall expire at such time
as the Committee shall determine at the time it is granted; provided,
however, that no Option that is an incentive stock option shall be
exercisable later than the tenth (10th) anniversary date of its grant, and
no Option that is a nonstatutory stock option shall be exercisable more
than ten (10) years and one (l) month after the date of its grant.
6.5 Exercise of Options. Options granted under the Plan shall
be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and
conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not
be the same for all Participants; except that Options granted to officers,
directors or Ten Percent Stockholders may not be exercised until at least
six (6) months after the date of grant.
6.6 Payment. The Option price upon exercise of any Option
shall be payable to the Corporation in full either (i) in cash or its
equivalent, or (ii) by tendering shares of previously acquired Stock
having a Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total
Option price, or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii). The proceeds
from such a payment shall be added to the general funds of the Corporation
and shall be used for general corporate purposes.
6.7 Restrictions on Stock Transferability. The Committee may
impose such restrictions on any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the
exercise of an Option under the Plan as it may deem advisable, including,
without limitation, restrictions under applicable Federal securities law,
under the requirements of any stock exchange upon which such shares of
Stock are then listed and under any blue sky or state securities laws
applicable to such shares.
6.8 Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability or
Retirement. In the event the employment of a Participant is terminated by
reason of death, Disability or Retirement, the Committee may provide in
the Option agreement that any outstanding Options shall become immediately
exercisable at any time prior to the expiration date of the Options or
within twelve (12) months after such date of termination of employment,
whichever period is the shorter. However, in the case of incentive stock
options, the favorable tax treatment prescribed under Section 422 of the
Code shall not be available if such options are not exercised within three
(3) months after such date of termination due to Retirement.
6.9 Termination of Employment Other than for Death, Disability
or Retirement. If the employment of the Participant shall terminate for
any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, the rights under
any then outstanding Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall terminate
upon the expiration date of the Option or three (3) months after such date
of termination of employment, whichever first occurs, subject to such
exceptions (which shall be set forth in the Option Agreement) as the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, approve.
6.10 Nontransferability of Options. No Option granted under the
Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. Further, all Options granted to a Participant under the
Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such
Participant.
Section 6A. Non-Employee Director Stock Options
6A.1 Grant of Options. Subject to approval of amendments to the
Plan by the shareholders of the Corporation as contemplated by Section
1.3, as of April 25, 1994, each Non-Employee Director at such time shall
be granted a nonqualified Option to purchase 1,000 shares of Stock.
Thereafter, upon the conclusion of each annual meeting of the shareholders
of the Corporation, each Non-Employee Director at such time shall be
granted a nonqualified Option to purchase an additional 1,000 shares of
Stock.
6A.2 Terms of Options. The right to exercise Options granted to
a Non-Employee Director pursuant to this Section 6A shall accrue as to
one-third (1/3) of the shares on each of the first three anniversaries of
the date of grant. No partial exercise of the Options may be for less
than one hundred (100) share lots or multiples thereof. The term of
Options granted pursuant to this Section 6A shall expire ten years and one
month from the date of grant or twelve months after the Non-Employee
Director ceases for any reason to be a member of the Board, whichever
occurs first. The Option exercise price shall be the Fair Market Value of
the Stock on the date each Option is granted, which shall be payable to
the Corporation in full upon exercise either (i) in cash or its
equivalent, or (ii) by tendering shares of previously acquired Stock
having a Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total
Option price, or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii).
Section 7. Restricted Stock
7.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the provisions of
Sections 4 and 5, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may
grant shares of Restricted Stock under the Plan to such Participants and
in such amounts as it shall determine. Non-Employee Directors are not
eligible to receive grants of Restricted Stock under the Plan. Each grant
of Restricted Stock shall be in writing.
7.2 Transferability. Except as provided in Section 7 hereof,
the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may not be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated for
such period of time as shall be determined by the Committee and shall be
specified in the Restricted Stock grant, or upon earlier satisfaction of
other conditions as specified by the Committee in its sole discretion and
set forth in the Restricted Stock grant; provided that Restricted Stock
granted to officers, directors or Ten Percent Stockholders may not be sold
for at least six (6) months after the date of grant.
7.3 Other Restrictions. The Committee may impose such other
restrictions on any shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the
Plan as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, restrictions
under applicable Federal or state securities laws, and may legend the
certificates representing Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of
such restrictions.
7.4 Certificate Legend. In addition to any legends placed on
certificates pursuant to Subsection 7.3 hereof, each certificate
representing shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan shall
bear the following legend:
"The sale or other transfer of the shares of stock
represented by this certificate, whether voluntary,
involuntary or by operation of law, is subject to
certain restrictions on transfer set forth in Oshkosh
Truck Corporation's 1990 Incentive Stock Plan, rules
of administration adopted pursuant to such Plan and a
Restricted Stock grant dated __________ A copy of the
Plan, such rules and such Restricted Stock grant may
be obtained from the Secretary of Oshkosh Truck
Corporation."
7.5 Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 7 hereof, shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted
Stock grant made under the Plan shall become freely transferable by the
Participant after the last day of the Period of Restriction. Once the
shares are released from the restrictions, the Participant shall be
entitled to have the legend required by Subsection 7.4 removed from the
Participant's Stock certificate.
7.6 Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction,
Participants holding shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may
exercise full voting rights with respect to those shares.
7.7 Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of
Restriction, Participants holding shares of Restricted Stock granted
hereunder shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other
distributions paid with respect to those shares while they are so held.
If any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of Stock, the
shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the
shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.
7.8 Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. The Committee
may provide in its Restricted Stock grant that in the event a Participant
terminates his or her employment with the Corporation because of
Retirement, any remaining Period of Restriction applicable to the
Restricted Stock pursuant to Subsection 7.2 hereof shall automatically
terminate and, except as otherwise provided in Subsection 7.3, the shares
of Restricted Stock shall thereby be free of restrictions and freely
transferable. In the event the Restricted Stock grant does not
automatically terminate such restrictions and a Participant terminates his
or her employment with the Corporation because of Retirement, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the restrictions remaining on
any or all shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to Subsection 7.2 hereof
and/or add such new restrictions to those shares of Restricted Stock as it
deems appropriate.
7.9 Termination of Employment Due to Death or Disability. The
Committee may provide in its Restricted Stock grant that in the event a
Participant terminates his or her employment with the Corporation because
of death or Disability during the Period of Restriction, the restrictions
applicable to the shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to Subsection 7.2
hereof shall terminate automatically with respect to all of the shares or
that number of shares (rounded to the nearest whole number) equal to the
total number of shares of Restricted Stock granted to such Participant
multiplied by the number of full months which have elapsed since the date
of grant divided by the maximum number of full months of the Period of
Restriction. All remaining shares shall be forfeited and returned to the
Corporation; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, waive the restrictions remaining on any or all such remaining
shares either before or after the death of the Participant.
7.10 Termination of Employment for Reasons Other than Death
Disability or Retirement. In the event that a Participant terminates his
or her employment with the Corporation for any reason other than those set
forth in Subsections 7.8 and 7.9 hereof during the Period of Restriction,
then any shares of Restricted Stock still subject to restrictions at the
date of such termination shall automatically be forfeited and returned to
the Corporation; provided, however, that, in the event of an involuntary
termination of the employment of a Participant by the Corporation, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the automatic forfeiture of
any or all such shares and/or may add such new restrictions to such shares
of Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate.
7.11 Nontransferability of Restricted Stock. No shares of
Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged,
assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, otherwise than by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution until the termination of the
applicable Period of Restriction. All rights with respect to Restricted
Stock granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during
the Participant's lifetime only by such Participant.
Section 8. Beneficiary Designation
8.1 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant and Non-Employee
Director under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or
beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any
benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of the death of the
Participant or the Non-Employee Director, as the case may be, before he or
she receives any or all of such benefit. Each designation will revoke all
prior designations by the same Participant or Non-Employee Director, shall
be in a form prescribed by the Committee and will be effective only when
filed by the Participant or Non-Employee Director in writing with the
Committee during the lifetime of the Participant or Non-Employee Director.
In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the
death of the Participant or Non-Employee Director, as the case may be,
shall be paid to the estate of the Participant or Non-Employee Director,
as the case may be.
Section 9. Rights of Employees
9.1 Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or
limit in any way the right of the Corporation to terminate any
Participant's employment at any time nor confer upon any Participant any
right to continue in the employ of the Corporation.
9.2 Participation. No employee shall have a right to be
selected as a Participant or, having been so selected, to be selected
again as a Participant. The preceding sentence shall not be construed or
applied so as to deny an employee any Participation in the Plan solely on
the basis that the employee was a Participant in connection with a prior
grant of benefits under the Plan.
Section 10. Administration; Powers and Duties of the Committee
10.1 Administration. The Committee shall be responsible for the
administration of the Plan. The Committee, by majority action thereof, is
authorized to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules
and regulations relating to the Plan, to provide for conditions and
assurances deemed necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the
Corporation, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan, but only to the extent not contrary to
the express provisions of the Plan. Determinations, interpretations, or
other actions made or taken by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of
the Plan shall be final and binding and conclusive for all purposes and
upon all persons whomsoever. The grant, amount and terms of Awards to
Non-Employee Directors under the Plan shall be determined as provided in
Section 6A of the Plan.
10.2 Change of Control. Without limiting the authority of the
Committee as provided herein, the Committee, either at the time Options or
shares of Restricted Stock are granted, or, if so provided in the
applicable Option agreement or Restricted Stock grant, at any time
thereafter, shall have the authority to accelerate in whole or in part the
exercisability of Options and/or the last day of the Period of Restriction
upon a Change of Control. The Option agreements and Restricted Stock
grants approved by the Committee may contain provisions whereby, in the
event of a Change of Control, the acceleration of the exercisability of
Options and/or the last day of the Period of Restriction may be automatic
or may be subject to the discretion of the Committee, depending on whether
the Change of Control shall be approved by a majority of the members of
the Board. If the receipt of any payment by a Participant under the
circumstances described above would result in the payment by the
Participant of any excise tax provided for in Section 280G and Section
4999 of the Code, then the amount of such payment shall be reduced to the
extent required to prevent the imposition of such excise tax.
10.3 Amendment, Modification and Termination of Plan. The Board
may at any time terminate, and from time to time may amend or modify the
Plan, provided, however, that no such action of the Board, without
approval of the stockholders, may:
(a) Increase the total amount of Stock which may be issued
under the Plan, except as provided in Subsections 4.1 and 4.3 of the
Plan.
(b) Increase the total number of shares of Stock that may be
issued under the Plan to any one Participant, except as provided in
Subsections 4.1 and 4.3 of the Plan.
(c) Change the provisions of the Plan regarding the Option
price except as permitted by Subsection 4.3.
(d) Materially increase the cost of the Plan or materially
increase the benefits to Participants and/or Non-Employee Directors.
(e) Extend the period during which Options or Restricted Stock
may be granted.
(f) Extend the maximum period after the date of grant during
which Options may be exercised.
(g) Change the class of individuals eligible to receive Options
or Restricted Stock.
No amendment, modification or termination of the Plan shall in any manner
adversely affect any Options or Restricted Stock theretofore granted under
the Plan, without the consent of the Participant.
Section 11. Tax Withholding
11.1 Tax Withholding. Whenever shares of Stock are to be issued
under the Plan, the Corporation shall have the power to require the
recipient of the Stock to remit to the Corporation an amount sufficient to
satisfy Federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to
issuance of the certificate for shares of stock.
Section 12. Requirements of Law
12.1 Requirements of Law. The granting of Options or Restricted
Stock, and the issuance of shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option
shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to
such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities
exchanges as may be required.
12.2 Governing Law. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder,
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of Wisconsin.

with such Award, and any such adjustment made by the Committee shall be
conclusive.
SECTION 5. DURATION OF PLAN
No Award shall be granted under the Plan after December 31,

SECTION 6. PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS
6.1 Issuance. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant
Awards to Participants. The Committee shall have complete discretion in
determining the Target Award Number of Performance Share Units subject to
an Award for a Participant.
6.2 Performance Terms. Prior to the first day of the Company's
first fiscal year in a Performance Period with respect to which an Award
is made (or such later time as may be permitted without adversely
affecting the qualification of such Award for the performance-based
exception under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall fix in
writing (or otherwise evidence such action in a manner that complies with
requirements relating to the performance-based exception under Section
162(m) of the Code) the following:
(a) Whether the performance measure applicable to the
Award will be Return on Equity or Return on Assets; and
(b) The Threshold Performance, the Target Performance and
the Maximum Performance under such performance measure for the Performance
Period.
6.3 Vesting. Subject to Section 6.6, an Award to a Participant
with respect to a Performance Period shall vest on the last day of the
Company's last fiscal year in the Performance Period.
6.4 Final Award Number. As soon as practicable after the
completion of the Performance Period with respect to which an Award has
been made, the Committee shall certify in writing (or otherwise evidence
such action in a manner that complies with requirements relating to the
performance-based exception under Section 162(m) of the Code) the Average
Return on Equity or Average Return on Assets of the Company, as the case
may be, for the Performance Period. The Committee shall also certify in
writing (or otherwise evidence such action in a manner that complies with
requirements relating to the performance-based exception under Section
162(m) of the Code) the comparison of such performance with the Threshold
Performance, Target Performance and Maximum Performance for the
Performance Period. A Final Award Number of Performance Share Units for
the Performance Period shall be calculated for each recipient of an Award
for such Performance Period by multiplying such Participant's Target Award
Number for the Performance Period by a percentage determined in accordance
with the following table, subject to the additional conditions and
limitations set forth in this Section 6:
Actual Performance Applicable Percentage
Below Threshold Performance 0%
Threshold Performance 50%
Target Performance 100%
Maximum Performance 150%
Above Maximum Performance 150%
If the Company's performance falls between Threshold Performance and
Target Performance or between Target Performance and Maximum Performance,
then the applicable percentage shall be determined by linear interpolation
between the applicable points.
6.5 Payment of Award. As soon as practicable after the
determination of a Participant's Final Award Number for an Award, the
Company shall pay the Participant the value of the Final Award Number of
Performance Share Units. Such payment shall be made, in the sole
discretion of the Committee, in cash, Stock or a combination of cash and
Stock. Performance Share Units shall be paid in Stock by delivering one
share of Stock for each Performance Share Unit and shall be paid in cash
by valuing each Performance Share Unit at the Fair Market Value as of the
date on which the Company publicly reports its earnings for the last
fiscal year of the Company in the Performance Period. Upon such payment,
the Company shall have no further obligations in connection with the Award
granted with respect to the Performance Period.
6.6 Termination of Employment. A Participant whose employment
with the Company terminates prior to the date an Award to such Participant
has vested shall not be entitled to receive any payment hereunder in
respect of such unvested Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence:
(a) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for
the payment, in whole or in part, in respect of such unvested Award if the
Participant's employment with the Company terminates by reason of the
Participant's death or Disability. Such payment shall be made, in the
sole discretion of the Committee, in cash, Stock or a combination of cash
and Stock.
(b) In the event of a Participant's Retirement on or after
the date on which the first one-half of the Performance Period for an
Award has elapsed, the Participant shall be entitled to a payment in
respect of such Award if the Award would have resulted in a payment to the
Participant (i) under Sections 6.4 and 6.5 had the Participant been an
employee at the end of the Performance Period or (ii) under Section 6.6(c)
had the Participant been an employee at the date of a Change of Control.
The amount of the payment shall be the amount determined in accordance
with Sections 6.4 and 6.5 or Section 6.6(c), as the case may be,
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months
that the Participant was an employee during the Performance Period and the
denominator of which is the number of months in the Performance Period
(or, in the case of a Change of Control, the number of months in the
Performance Period prior to the Change of Control). Such payment shall be
made in the form and at the time contemplated by Section 6.5 or Section
6.6(c), as the case may be.
(c) If there is a Change of Control during a Performance
Period and while a Participant is an employee, then (i) each Award of the
Participant not vested shall be deemed vested as of the date of such
Change of Control, (ii) the Final Award Number for each such Award shall
be deemed equal to the Target Award Number for such Award and (iii) as
soon as practicable thereafter, the Company shall pay to such Participant
the value of the Final Award Number of Performance Share Units for each
such Award, in cash, in an amount per Performance Share Unit equal to the
Fair Market Value as of the date of the Change of Control; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not operate to reduce or increase any
amounts payable by the Company in respect of Performance Share Units
relating to any Performance Period that has ended prior to the occurrence
of the Change in Control.
6.7 No Rights. Unless and until shares of Stock are issued and
payments are made to a Participant with respect to an Award, the
Participant shall have no interest or rights as a result of such Award in
or to any specific assets or property of the Company or any shares of
Stock, and the Participant shall have no right to vote any shares of Stock
or to dividends paid on Stock as a result of such Award.
6.8 Other Terms. The Committee may, in its sole discretion,
establish additional or different terms and conditions with respect to any
Award to any or all Participants. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Committee may impose goals based upon growth in earnings per share, Stock
price appreciation and/or cash flow in addition to, or in lieu of, a
Return on Equity or Return on Assets goals.
Section 7. Beneficiary Designation
7.1 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant may, from time
to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named
contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be
paid in case of the Participant's death before he or she receives any or
all of such benefit. Each designation will revoke all prior designations
by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee
and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with
the Committee during the lifetime of the Participant. In the absence of
any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant's death
shall be paid to the estate of the Participant.
Section 8. Rights of Employees
8.1 Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or
limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's
employment at any time nor confer upon any Participant any right to
continue in the employ of the Company.
8.2 Participation. No employee shall have a right to be
selected as a Participant or, having been so selected, to be selected
again as a Participant. The preceding sentence shall not be construed or
applied so as to deny an employee any Participation in the Plan solely on
the basis that the employee was a Participant in connection with a prior
grant of benefits under the Plan.
Section 9. Administration; Powers and Duties of the Committee
9.1 Administration. The Committee shall be responsible for the
administration of the Plan. The Committee, by majority action thereof, is
authorized to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules
and regulations relating to the Plan, to provide for conditions and
assurances deemed necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the
Company, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for
the administration of the Plan, but only to the extent not contrary to the
express provisions of the Plan. Determinations, interpretations, or other
actions made or taken by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan shall be final and binding and conclusive for all purposes and upon
all persons whomsoever.
9.2 Change of Control. If the receipt of any payment by a
Participant under the Plan would, taking into account other amounts
payable to the Participant, result in the payment by the Participant of
any excise tax provided for in Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code,
then the amount of such payment shall be reduced to the extent required to
prevent the imposition of such excise tax.
9.3 Amendment, Modification and Termination of Plan. The Board
may at any time terminate, and from time to time may amend or modify the
Plan, provided, however, that no such action of the Board, without
approval of the stockholders, may:
(a) Increase the amount of Stock which may be issued under the
Plan in total or to any individual, except as provided in Section 4.1
and Section 4.3.
(b) Increase the number of Performance Share Units that may be

(d) Extend the period during which Awards may be granted.
(e) Change the class of individuals eligible to receive Awards.

under the Plan, the Company shall have the power to require the recipient
of the Stock to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy
federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to issuance of
the certificate for shares of Stock.
Section 11. Requirements of Law
11.1 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards, and the
issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to Awards, shall be subject to all
applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any
governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
11.2 Governing Law. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder,
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of Wisconsin.

shall be an amount equal to (A) the Executive's annual salary, as in
effect on the date of the Change in Control of the Company as adjusted
upward, from time to time, pursuant to Section 6 hereof plus (B) the
amount of the highest annual bonus award paid to the Executive with
respect to the three years preceding the Termination Date (the aggregate
amount set forth in (A) and (B) hereof shall hereafter be referred to as
"Annual Cash Compensation"), times the number of years (rounded to the
nearest one-twelfth) remaining in the Employment Period determined as of
the date the Notice of Termination is received, provided, however, that
such amount shall not be less than the amount of Executive's Annual Cash
Compensation. The Termination Payment shall be payable in one of two
alternative methods as determined pursuant to Sec. 17 hereof, either (x)
in a lump sum within ten (10) days of the (y) Date hereunder or in 36
equal and consecutive monthly installments with the first such installment
due and payable on the first business day of the month immediately
following the Termination Date. Such Termination Payment shall not be
reduced by any present value or similar factor, and the Executive shall
not be required to mitigate the amount of such payment by securing other
employment or otherwise, nor will such payment be reduced by reason of the
Executive securing other employment or for any other reason. The
Termination Payment shall be paid in lieu of any severance pay due to the
Executive pursuant to any severance or employment agreement with or
severance payment plan of the Company.
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any
portion of the Termination Payment or any other payment under this
Agreement, or under any other agreement with or plan of the Company (in
the aggregate "Total Payments") would constitute an "excess parachute
payment," then the Total Payments to be made to the Executive shall be
reduced such that the value of the aggregate Total Payments that the
Executive is entitled to receive shall be One Dollar ($1) less than the
maximum amount which the Executive may receive without becoming subject to
the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or which the Company may pay
without loss of deduction under Section 280G(a) of the Code. For purposes
of this Agreement, the terms "excess parachute payment" and "parachute
payments" shall have the meanings assigned to them in Section 280G of the
Code, and such "parachute payments" shall be valued as provided therein.
Within sixty days following delivery of the Notice of Termination or
notice by the Company to the Executive of its belief that there is a
payment or benefit due the Executive which will result in an excess
parachute payment as defined in Section 280G of the Code, the Executive
and the Company, at the Company's expense, shall obtain the opinion of
such legal counsel, which need not be unqualified, as the Executive may
choose, which sets forth (a) the amount of the Base Period Income of the
Executive, (b) the present value of Total Payments and (c) the amount and
present value of any excess parachute payments. The opinion of such legal
counsel shall be supported by the opinion of a certified public accounting
firm and, if necessary, a firm of recognized executive compensation
consultants. Such opinion shall be binding upon the Company and the
Executive. In the event that such opinion determines that there would be
an excess parachute payment, the Termination Payment hereunder or any
other payment determined by such counsel to be includible in Total
Payments shall be reduced or eliminated as specified by the Executive in
writing delivered to the Company within thirty days of his receipt of such
opinion or, if the Executive fails to so notify the Company, then as the
Company shall reasonably determine, so that under the bases of
calculations set forth in such opinion there will be no excess parachute
payment. The provisions of this sub- paragraph 9(b)(ii), including the
calculations, notices and opinion provided for herein shall be based upon
the conclusive presumption that (x) the compensation and benefits provided
for in Section 5 hereof and (y) any other compensation, including but not
limited to the Accrued Benefits, earned prior to the Termination Date by
the Executive pursuant to the Company's compensation programs if such
payments would have been made in the future in any event, even though the
timing of such payment is triggered by the Change in Control or the
Termination Date, are reasonable.
(iii) If, notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (ii) of
this Section 9(b), it is ultimately determined by a court or pursuant to a
final determination by the Internal Revenue Service that any portion of
Total Payments is subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code,
the Executive shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum payment sufficient
to place the Executive in the same net after-tax position, computed by
using the Special Tax Rate as such term is defined below, that the
Executive would have been in had such payment not been subject to such
excise tax and had the Executive not incurred any interest charges or
penalties in respect of the imposition of such excise tax. For purposes of
this Agreement, the Special Tax Rate shall be the highest effective
federal and state marginal tax rates applicable to the Executive in the
year the payment contemplated under this paragraph is made.
(iv) In the event that the provisions of Sections 280G and 4999
of the Code are repealed, Sections 9(b)(ii) and 9(b)(iii) shall be of no
further force or effect.
10. Death. If the Executive shall die during the Employment Period,
the Executive's employment shall terminate and the Executive's estate,
heirs and beneficiaries shall receive all the Executive's Accrued Benefits
through the Termination Date.
11. Retirement. If, during the Employment Period, the Executive and
the Company shall execute an agreement providing for the early retirement
of the Executive from the Company, or the Executive shall otherwise
voluntarily choose to retire early from the Company, the Executive shall
receive Accrued Benefits through the Termination Date, provided, that if
the Executive's employment is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason
or by the Company other than by reason of death, disability or Cause and
the Executive also, in connection with such termination, elects voluntary
early retirement, the Executive shall also be entitled to receive a
Termination Payment pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof.
12. Termination for Disability. If, during the Employment Period, as
a result of the Executive's disability due to physical or mental illness
or injury (regardless of whether such illness or injury is job-related),
the Executive shall have been absent from the Executive's duties hereunder
on a full-time basis for six consecutive months, and within thirty (30)
days after the Company notifies the Executive in writing that it intends
to terminate the Executive's employment, the Executive shall not have
returned to the performance of the Executive's duties hereunder on a
full-time basis, the Company may terminate the Executive's employment
pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 13 hereof. During the term
of the Executive's disability prior to termination, the Executive shall
continue to receive all salary and benefits payable under Section 5
hereof, including participation in all employee benefit plans and programs
in which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to
the disability, provided that the Executive's continued participation is
possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and
programs. In the event the Executive's employment is terminated on account
of the Executive's disability in accordance with this Section, the
Executive shall receive any Accrued Benefits in accordance with Section 9
hereof and shall remain eligible for all benefits provided by any long
term disability programs of the Company in effect at the time of such
termination.
13. Termination Notice and Procedure. Any termination by the
Company, or the Executive, of the Executive's employment during the
Employment Period shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination
to the Executive if such Notice is delivered by the Company and to the
Company if such Notice is delivered by the Executive, all in accordance
with the following procedures:
(a) The Notice of Termination shall indicate the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances alleged to provide a basis for
termination.
(b) Any Notice of Termination by the Company shall be approved by a
resolution duly adopted by a majority of the directors of the Company (or
any successor corporation) then in office, specifying in detail the basis
for such termination.
(c) The Executive shall have 30 days or such longer period as the
Company may determine to be appropriate, to cure any conduct or act, if
curable, alleged to provide grounds for termination of the Executive's
employment under this Agreement.
(d) In the event that, within 30 days following the date of receipt
of the Notice of Termination, the opinion referred to in Section 9(b)(ii)
hereof shall not have been delivered or one party notifies the other that
a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Executive's employment
under this Agreement shall not be terminated until such determination is
delivered or until the dispute is finally resolved either by mutual
written agreement of the parties, or pursuant to a final arbitration award
in accordance with Section 22 hereof, as the case may be; provided,
however, that in no event shall such employment extend beyond the
Employment Period.
14. Further Obligations of the Executive.
(a) Competition. The Executive agrees that if, during the Employment
Period, the Executive's employment is terminated in a manner such that the
Executive will or has received a Termination Payment, the Executive shall
not, during the balance of the Employment Period, (i) act in a similar
capacity for any business enterprise which competes to a substantial
degree with the Company or (ii) without the prior written approval of the
Company's Board of Directors, participate in the management of any
business enterprise that engages in substantial competition with the
Company or its subsidiaries, where such enterprise's sales of any product
or service competitive with any products or service of the Company or its
subsidiaries amount to 10% of such enterprise's net sales for its most
recently completed fiscal year and the Company's consolidated net sales of
said product or service amount to 10% of the Company's consolidated net
sales for its most recently completed fiscal year; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 14(a) shall prohibit the Executive from owning
stock or other securities of a competitor amounting to less than five
percent of the outstanding capital stock of such competitor.
(b) Confidential Information. During and following the Executive's
employment by the Company, the Executive shall hold in confidence and not
directly or indirectly disclose or use or copy or make lists of any
confidential information or proprietary data of the Company, except to the
extent authorized in writing by the Board of Directors of the Company or
required by any court or administrative agency, other than to an employee
of the Company or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or
appropriate in connection with the performance by the Executive of duties
as an executive of the Company. Confidential information shall not include
any information known generally to the public or any information of a type
not otherwise considered confidential by persons engaged in the same
business or a business similar to that of the Company. All records, files,
documents and materials or copies thereof, relating to the Company's
business which the Executive shall prepare, or use, or come into contact
with, shall be and remain the sole property of the Company and shall be
promptly returned to the Company upon termination of employment with the
Company.
15. Expenses and Interest. If, after a Change in Control of the
Company a good faith dispute arises with respect to the enforcement of the
Executive's rights under this Agreement or if any legal or arbitration
proceeding shall be brought in good faith to enforce or interpret any
provision contained herein, or to recover damages for breach hereof, the
Executive shall recover from the Company any reasonable attorney's fees
and necessary costs and disbursements incurred as a result of such
dispute, legal or arbitration proceeding, and prejudgment interest on any
money judgment or arbitration award obtained by the Executive calculated
at the rate of interest announced by FIRSTAR BANK MILWAUKEE, N.A., from
time to time as its prime rate from the date that payments to him should
have been made under this Agreement.
16. Payment Obligations Absolute. Except as set forth in Section 18
of this Agreement, the Company's obligation during and after the
Employment Period to pay the Executive the compensation and to make the
arrangements provided herein shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company
may have against him or anyone else. All amounts payable by the Company
hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand. Each and every payment
made hereunder by the Company shall be final and the Company will not seek
to recover all or any part of such payment from the Executive or from
whomsoever may be entitled thereto, for any reason whatsoever.
17. Election of Payment Alternatives. At any time prior to the
Termination Date, the Executive shall have the right to specify the
alternative method of payment of the Termination Payment to be used by
filing a written election thereof with the Secretary of the Company;
provided, however, if no election has been filed by the Executive prior to
the Term Date, the method of payment of the Term Payment shall be at the
option of the Board of Directors. If the Term Payment is made using the
installment method, the Company shall purchase a life insurance policy on
the life of the Executive prior to the first installment payment naming
the Company as beneficiary. Such insurance shall have a term of at least
37 months and shall provide proceeds in the event of the Executive's death
at least equal to the amount of remaining installment payments at the time
of the Executive's death. The Company shall not, however, be required to
purchase such life insurance policy if the total cost of such life
insurance policy exceeds the amount of the Termination Payment.
18. Successors.
(a) If the Company sells, assigns or transfers all or substantially
all of its business and assets to any Person, excluding affiliates of the
Company, or if the Company merges into or consolidates or otherwise
combines with any Person which is a continuing or successor entity, then
the Company shall assign all of its right, title and interest in this
Agreement as of the date of such event to the Person which is either the
acquiring or successor corporation, and such Person shall assume and
perform from and after the date of such assignment all of the terms,
conditions and provisions imposed by this Agreement upon the Company.
Failure of the Company to obtain such assignment shall be a breach of this
Agreement. In case of such assignment by the Company and of assumption and
agreement by such Person, all further rights as well as all other
obligations of the Company under this Agreement thenceforth shall cease
and terminate and thereafter the expression "the Company" wherever used
herein shall be deemed to mean such Person(s).
(b) This Agreement and all rights of the Executive shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal
representatives, estates, executors, administrators, heirs and
beneficiaries. All amounts payable to the Executive under Sections 7, 10,
11 and 12 hereof if the Executive had lived shall be paid, in the event of
the Executive's death, to the Executive's estate, heirs and
representatives. All amounts still payable to the Executive, if any, under
Section 8 hereof on the date of the Executive's death shall be paid to the
Executive's estate, heirs and administrators our of the proceeds of the
life insurance policy referred to in Section 17 hereof, provided, however,
that if such life insurance policy is not obtained because the total cost
of the policy exceeds the amount of the Termination Payment, the Company
shall have no further obligation to make such payments after the
Executive's death. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be
binding upon and be enforceable by, any successor, surviving or
resulting corporation or other entity to which all or sub-
stantially all of the Company's business and assets shall be
transferred. This Agreement shall not be terminated by the
voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Company.
19. Enforcement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be regarded
as divisible, and if any of said provisions or any part hereof are
declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the validity and enforceability of the remainder of such provisions or
parts hereof and the applicability thereof shall not be affected thereby.
20. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified at any
time except by written instrument executed by the Company and the
Executive.
21. Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from
amounts to be paid to the Executive hereunder any federal, state or local
withholding or other taxes or charges which it is from time to time
required to withhold. The Company shall be entitled to rely on an opinion
of counsel if any question as to the amount or requirement of any such
withholding shall arise.
22. Governing Law; Arbitration. This Agreement and the rights and
obligations hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Wisconsin. Any dispute arising out of this
Agreement shall be determined by arbitration in Milwaukee, Wisconsin under
the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect and
judgment upon any award pursuant to such arbitration may be enforced in
any court having jurisdiction thereof.
23. Notice. Notices given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given when received and if mailed, shall be

requested, addressee only, postage prepaid, if to the Company, to the

24. No Waiver. No waiver by either party at any time of any breach
by the other party of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of
this Agreement to be performed by the other party shall be deemed a waiver
of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same time or any
prior or subsequent time.
25. Headings. The headings herein contained are for reference only

Results of Operations and Financial Condition" section]
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Results of Operations
Year Ended September 30, 1994
Compared to Year Ended September 25, 1993
Net shipments were $691.5 million for fiscal 1994, an increase
of $56.5 million, compared to shipments of $635.0 million in fiscal 1993.
Net income for fiscal 1994 was $13.1 million ($1.50 per share) compared to
income, before cumulative effect of accounting change for the adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, Employers'
Accounting for Post Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, of $5.2
million ($.59 per share) for fiscal 1993. Net income for fiscal 1993,
including the non-cash SFAS No. 106 accounting change of $4.1 million, was
$1.1 million ($.12 per share).
Net shipments of both commercial and defense products increased
compared to the previous year. Shipments to commercial markets increased
by $46.3 million to $265.3 million during fiscal 1994. The volume increase
resulted from higher shipments of construction, stripped motorized
chassis, and trailers compared to the previous year. Shipments of defense
products increased by $10.2 million to $426.2 million in fiscal 1994. The
fiscal 1994 shipments are comprised almost exclusively of shipments under
the Palletized Load System (PLS) and Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET)
contracts.
Production under the PLS and HET contracts more than offset
declines due to completion of other defense contracts during fiscal 1993.
The PLS and HET programs went to full rate production during fiscal 1993
while production of the Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT)
ended during fiscal 1993. The company also completed a contract for U.S.
Air Force snow removal equipment during fiscal 1993.
Defense export shipments were $3.9 million in fiscal 1994,
compared to $49.3 million in fiscal 1993. Commercial export shipments were
$16.5 million and $16.6 million, respectively, in fiscal 1994 and 1993.
Virtually all of the company's revenues are derived from customer orders
prior to commencing production.
Gross profits during fiscal 1994 were $88.0 million, or 12.7% of
shipments, up from $69.6 million, or 11.0% of shipments in fiscal 1993.
The improved margin performance is attributable to increased volume and
production efficiency.
Operating expenses increased 10.4% to $63.5 million, or 9.2% of
shipments in fiscal 1994, compared to $57.5 million, or 9.1% of shipments
during fiscal 1993. Fiscal 1994 includes charges of $3.1 million relating
to a reduction of work force in anticipation of lower levels of future
business. The remaining increased operating expense is due to increased
volume in fiscal 1994 compared to a year earlier.
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased to $1.3
million, compared to $4.1 million during fiscal 1993. This decrease is due
to decreased working capital requirements throughout fiscal 1994.
The effective income tax rate for combined federal and state income taxes
for fiscal 1994 was 40.5%. This compares to 35.0% in fiscal 1993. The
lower rate in fiscal 1993 is due to proportionately higher export
shipments and a lower federal statutory rate.
Results of Operations
Year Ended September 25, 1993
Compared to Year Ended September 30, 1992
Net shipments were $635.0 million for fiscal 1993, compared to
shipments of $640.6 million in fiscal 1992. Income, before cumulative
effect of accounting change for the adoption of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106 "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," was $5.2 million ($.59 per
share). Net income for fiscal 1993 including the non-cash SFAS No. 106
accounting charge of $4.1 million, was $1.1 million ($.12 per share). This
compares to net income of $8.8 million ($1.01 per share) for fiscal 1992.
Net shipments of commercial products increased in fiscal 1993
which offset a decline in defense products. Shipments of commercial
products increased $34.1 million, totaling $219.0 million in fiscal 1993.
All commercial product lines had increased shipments during the year.
Shipments of defense products to the U.S. Government and foreign
governments decreased to $416.0 million in fiscal 1993 from $455.7 million
during fiscal 1992. The company's defense business consists of major
contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and periodic contracts with
foreign governments. During fiscal 1993, the company had shipments to the
U.S. Department of Defense, net of Foreign Military Sales (FMS), of $366.7
million, compared to $290.1 million the previous year. Production of the
Palletized Load System (PLS) and the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET)
more than offset declines resulting from completion of other contracts.
The PLS and HET programs went to full rate production during fiscal 1993,
while production of the Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT)
ended. During the year, the company also completed a contract for U.S. Air
Force snow removal equipment and a contract during fiscal 1992 for
aircraft refuelers.
Defense export shipments, including FMS, were $49.3 million in
fiscal 1993, down from $165.6 million the previous year. Fiscal 1992
shipments were substantially made up of a major export order for HET
trucks and trailers which the company began delivering late in fiscal
1991.
Virtually all of the company's revenues are derived from firm
customer orders prior to commencing production.
Gross profits increased 3.2% to $69.6 million in fiscal 1993,
inclusive of non-recurring costs of $2.9 million pertaining to settlement
with the U.S. Government of long standing cost accounting issues. This
compares to $67.5 million the previous year. As a percentage of shipments,
gross profits were 11.0% in the current year, compared to 10.5% during
fiscal 1992. This is due to the increased level of PLS and HET shipments
which had higher margins. Margin contributions of commercial products also
improved due to increased volumes and production efficiencies.
Operating expenses increased 10.5% to $57.5 million in fiscal 1993,
compared to $52.0 million the previous year, due largely to costs
associated with development of commercial markets.
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased to $4.1
million from $2.9 million the previous year. This increase is attributable
to increased working capital needs throughout much of the current year.
The effective income tax rate for combined federal and state income taxes
for fiscal 1993 was 35.0%, compared to 29.1% the previous year. The lower
rate in fiscal 1992 is attributable to tax benefits related to export
shipments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital was $82.0 million at year-end fiscal 1994,
compared to $101.0 million for fiscal 1993. This decrease is due to
reduction in accounts receivable levels to normal levels compared to a
year earlier. Inventory levels declined $13.9 million, or 20.2% at
September 30, 1994, compared to the 1993 fiscal year. Cash and cash
equivalents increased to $15.8 million at September 30, 1994, from $0.6
million at year-end fiscal 1993.
The company achieved favorable cash flow performance in fiscal
1994, generating $64.3 million in cash provided by operations. This funded
dividend payments of $4.3 million, a reduction in long-term debt of $39.1
million to $8.7 million at September 30, 1994, and capital additions and
investing activities of $5.8 million.
During the prior year, operating activities generated $38.4
million of cash due to production efficiency and decreased working capital
needs. Payment of dividends, capital additions and investing activities
required $4.3 million and $13.8 million, respectively. Borrowings under
the long-term debt facility were reduced by $19.9 million during fiscal
1993.
The company believes its internally generated cash flow,
supplemented by progress payments when applicable, and the existing credit
facilities will be adequate to meet working capital and other operating
and capital requirements in the foreseeable future.
The company is dependent on its shipments of defense products to
the U.S. Government as evidenced by shipments of 62% and 66% of total
shipments during fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively. Substantial decreases
in the company's level of defense business from the current level could
have an adverse effect on the company's profitability. The company is
anticipating a lower level of sales to the U.S. Government in fiscal 1995
due to the completion of the HET contract in September 1994. The PLS
contract will remain in production through August 1996. Additional orders
could increase the rate of production or extend the period of production.
The company remains optimistic about its defense business prospects.
Inflation
The company believes that the risks of inflation are minimized
by the nature of its businesses. All revenue derived by the company from
its contracts with the U.S. Government were received under firm
fixed-price contracts. The company prices major government programs and
contracts on a current basis that takes into account cost increases
expected to occur during performance of the contract. Generally, major
suppliers receive terms from the company similar to what the company
receives under its contracts with the U.S. Government. Commercial business
is performed on the basis of pricing specific orders. Any impact from
inflation will be minimized by the company's ability to include
inflationary cost increases in prices.
Backlog
The company's backlog at year-end fiscal 1994 was $512 million,
compared to $459 million the previous year. The change in backlog
represents delivery of products on long-term contracts net of additional
funding received. Backlog on U.S. Government contracts comprises $448
million of the year-end backlog with the remainder being commercial.
Environmental
The company continues to be engaged in environmental monitoring
activities that include both investigation and remediation. The company
does not anticipate that costs relating to environmental activities will
have a material adverse impact on the company's financial condition.

Financial Notes
Years ended September 30, 1994, September 25, 1993, and September 30, 1992
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation and Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oshkosh
Truck Corporation and a wholly owned foreign sales corporation
(collectively referred to as the company).
Government Contracts
The company derives a significant portion of its revenue from the U.S.
Government (see Note 8). Inherent in doing business with the U.S.
Government are certain risks, including technological changes and changes
in levels of defense spending. Sales and related costs under fixed-price
contracts, which the company has with the government, are recorded as
units are accepted. Amounts for government ordered changes are not
invoiced until they are agreed upon. Recognition of profit on government
ordered changes and certain contracts is based upon estimates of final
performance which may be revised as the contract progresses.
All U.S. Government contracts contain a provision that they may be
terminated at any time for the convenience of the government. In such an
event, the company is entitled to recover allowable costs plus a
reasonable profit earned to the date of termination.
Various actions or claims have been brought or asserted or may be
contemplated by government authorities against the company. During 1993,
the company entered into a $3.5 million settlement with the U.S.
Government related to alleged noncompliance with certain cost accounting
standards. Of that amount, $0.2 million and $2.9 million has been charged
to cost of sales in 1994 and 1993, respectively, with the remainder to be
amortized over remaining deliverable units under the PLS contract.
A potential action by government authorities against the company in
connection with a grand jury investigation which commenced in 1989 remains
open. In addition, in October 1992, the company responded to a grand jury
investigation related to Steeltech Manufacturing, Inc., a vendor. No
charges have been filed against the company or its employees in either
action. The company and its employees have cooperated fully with the
investigations. No provisions for loss are recorded in the financial
statements because the company cannot reasonably estimate what, if any,
costs may result from these actions. Costs incurred in responding to these
actions have been expensed as incurred.
Inventories
The company values its inventories principally at the lower of cost,
determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, or market. If the
company had used the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, inventories would
have been $6,212 and $6,506 higher than reported at September 30, 1994 and
September 25, 1993, respectively. Inventories do not include amounts of
general and administrative expenses related to U.S. Government contracts.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Additions and improvements are capitalized at cost, whereas expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation has been provided over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets on the following basis: machinery and equipment --
accelerated method; other assets -- principally straight-line method.
Other Assets
Other assets include capitalized software and related costs which are
being amortized over a five-year period, funding for long-term pension
costs, and certain other investments. These investments include $3,526 in
joint ventures in Mexico to manufacture vehicles for that market and
Central and South America. The company accounts for its investments in
Mexico under the equity method as it is able to exercise significant
influence over their operations. The equity from operations included in
the company's earnings in these investments was a loss of $942 in 1994,
and earnings of $9 in 1993, included in other expense. The company also
has an investment aggregating $1,100 in a minority-owned supplier and
joint venture which leases equipment to the minority-owned supplier and
has guaranteed loans of the joint venture in the amount of $2,218 at
September 30, 1994.
Deferred Charges
Deferred charges include certain engineering and technical support costs
incurred in connection with long-term contracts. These costs are charged
to expense when the related project is billable to the government, or are
amortized to expense as base units are delivered under the contract.
Long-Term Liabilities
Long-term liabilities include accumulated postretirement benefit
obligations and deferred revenue on long-term U.S. Government contracts,
which will be recognized as income in future years as base units are
delivered under the contracts.
Warranty Costs
The company provides for the estimated cost of warranty work related to
specific sales. Amounts expensed in 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $7,739,
$6,836 and $5,886, respectively.
Net Income Per Common Share
Net income per common share was computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (8,699,846,
8,686,973 and 8,685,804 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively). Stock
options were not dilutive in any of the three years.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 and 1992 consolidated
financial statements to conform to the 1994 presentation.
2. Receivables
Receivables consist of the following:
1994 1993
Government:
Amounts billed, net $21,338 $55,563
Unbilled 4,277 2,080
------- ------
25,615 57,643
Commercial customers 39,599 38,845
Other 712 941
------- -------
$65,926 $97,429
====== ======
The receivables from the government result principally from long-term
contracts (see Note 1).
The unbilled amount principally represents estimated claims for government
ordered changes which are expected to be invoiced upon completion of
negotiations within two years, and price adjustment provisions which will
be invoiced within the next year. Receivables include $7,977, and $3,507
from the company's joint venture in Mexico, at September 30, 1994 and
September 25, 1993, respectively.
3. Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following:
1994 1993
Finished products $12,618 $ 8,912
Products in process 9,572 17,495
Raw material 38,931 48,900

------ ------
$54,909 $68,801
====== =======
Title to all inventories related to U.S. Government contracts which
provide for progress payments vests in the U.S. Government to the extent
of unliquidated progress payments.
4. Income Taxes
Effective October 1, 1992, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No.
109), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included
in the financial statements or tax returns. This method requires all
deferred taxes to be recorded using enacted tax rates for the year in
which the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of
assets and liabilities are expected to reverse. The impact of adopting
SFAS No. 109 was not material to 1993 operations.
The provision for income taxes consists of the following:
1994 1993 1992
Current:
Federal $12,857 $6,307 $ 1,107
State 1,935 1,018 244

------ ------ ------
(5,895) (4,552) 2,250
------ ------ ------
$ 8,897 $2,773 $ 3,601

The components of the net deferred tax asset as of September 30, 1994 and
September 25, 1993, were as follows:
1994 1993
Deferred tax assets:

5. Long-term Debt
Long-term debt consists of the following as of September 30, 1994 and
September 25, 1993:
1994 1993
Revolving credit agreement $ -- $38,500
Industrial revenue bonds 8,700 8,700
Other 37 619
------ ------
$ 8,737 $47,819
Revolving Credit Facility -- On March 31, 1992, the company entered into
an unsecured revolving credit agreement with a group of banks. This credit
facility extends to the company an $80.0 million working capital line and
a $5.0 million letter of credit facility. The agreement was extended
during the current fiscal year and will expire on March 17, 1997. The
facility allows the company to borrow at various rates equivalent to or
less than the current prime rate of Firstar Bank. The company incurred
certain fees at closing for agent and facility fees and will also incur a
fee on the unused portion of the facility. The agreement contains various
restrictive covenants under which the company must meet certain financial
ratio tests and has some restrictions relative to the payment of
dividends, amounts of capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other
indebtedness. As of September 30, 1994, the company had no outstanding
borrowings under the revolving credit facility and had letters of credit
outstanding of $2.4 million under the letter of credit facility. The
average borrowings for 1994 and 1993 amounted to approximately $10.5
million and $61.1 million at weighted average effective interest rates of
5.75% and 5.05%, respectively. The maximum amount of borrowings at any
month-end during 1994 was $24.0 million, and $73.5 million during 1993.
Industrial Revenue Bonds -- The company has outstanding $8,700 of
industrial development revenue bonds that were used to finance the
construction of a chassis manufacturing facility. The bonds are due in a
single payment on August 1, 2019. Interest on the bonds is adjusted each
week to the lesser of 15% or the rate that would allow the bonds to be
resold at par. The average interest rate on the bonds was 2.7%, 2.6% and
3.5% during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The company has the option
to convert the variable interest rate to a fixed rate.
Through June 6, 1995, the bonds are secured by a letter of credit which is
secured by the chassis manufacturing facility.
The maturities of long-term debt are as follows: 1995-$592; 1996-$37 and
2019-$8,700.
6. Operating Leases
Total rental expense for plant and equipment charged to operations under
noncancellable operating leases was $1,940, $2,474 and $2,499 in 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively. Minimum annual rental payments for the five
fiscal years after 1994, are: 1995-$1,254; 1996-$795; 1997-$562; 1998-$421
and 1999-$191, for an aggregate commitment of $3,223.
Included in rental expense are charges of $304, $332 and $307 in 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively, relating to leases between the company and
certain shareholders.
7. Employee Benefit and Incentive Plans
The company has defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all
employees. The plans provide benefits based on compensation, years of
service and year of birth. The company's funding policy is to fund the
pension plans in amounts which comply with contribution limits imposed by
law.
Net periodic pension cost for these plans for 1994, 1993 and 1992 includes
the following components:
1994 1993 1992
Service cost -- benefits
earned during year $(1,227) $ 986 $ 873
Interest cost on
projected benefit
obligations 1,684 1,506 1,344

plans and the amounts recognized in the company's consolidated balance
sheets at September 30, 1994 and September 25, 1993.

Adjustment required to recognize

Prepaid expense recognized in
the consolidated balance sheet $ 720 $ 22
====== ======
Generally accepted accounting principles require the recognition of an
additional minimum liability (recorded as a long-term liability) for each
defined benefit plan for which the accumulated benefit obligation exceeds
plan assets. The company is permitted to record an offsetting intangible
asset ($367 in 1994 and $486 in 1993) to the extent of unrecognized prior
service cost. To the extent the minimum liability exceeds the amount of
unrecognized prior service cost, the company records a reduction of
shareholders' equity ($454 in 1994 and $876 in 1993, net of tax benefits
of $304 and $584, respectively).
The assets in the pension plans are comprised of investments in commingled
equity and fixed income funds, and individually managed equity portfolios.
Actuarial assumptions are as follows:
1994 1993 1992)
Discount rate 8.25% 7.50% 9.00%
Rate of increase in
compensation 4.50% 4.50% 5.75%
Expected long-term rate
of return on assets 9.25% 9.25% 9.25%
In addition to providing pension benefits for the majority of its
employees, the company provides health benefits to retirees and their
eligible spouses. Substantially all of the company's employees may become
eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age while
working for the company.
Effective October 1, 1992, the company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions." SFAS No. 106
requires that the cost of these benefits be recognized during the
employee's active working career rather than accounting for them on a cash
basis as had been prior practice.
The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 106 on the immediate
recognition basis as of October 1, 1992, was a charge to earnings of
$4,088, net of $2,726 income tax effect.
The following tables provide information on the Plan status as of

Report of Ernst & Young, LLP, Independent Auditors
Board of Directors, Oshkosh Truck Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oshkosh
Truck Corporation (the company) as of September 30, 1994 and September 25,
1993, and the related consolidated statements of operations and retained
earnings and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
September 30, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the
company at September 30, 1994 and September 25, 1993, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended September 30, 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes 4 and 7 to the financial statements, the company
changed its methods of accounting for income taxes and postretirement
benefits other than pensions effective October 1, 1992.
