1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein  have been
prepared by Oshkosh Truck  Corporation (the "Company")  without audit.  However,
the foregoing financial  statements contain all adjustments  (consisting only of
normal recurring  adjustments) which are, in the opinion of Company  management,
necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission.  These  consolidated  financial  statements
should be read in conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's 1999 annual report to shareholders.

2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

4. ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSITIONS

In January 2000, the Company  entered into a technology  transfer  agreement and
collected certain previously  written-off  receivables from a foreign affiliate,
as a part of the  disposition  of a business  that the  Company  exited in 1995.
Gross proceeds of $3.2 million,  less taxes of $1.2 million,  or net proceeds of
$2.0 million, have been recorded as a gain from discontinued operations.

On November 1, 1999, the Company acquired the  manufacturing  assets of Kewaunee
Engineering  Corporation   ("Kewaunee")  for  $5.6  million  in  cash  plus  the
assumption  of  certain  liabilities  aggregating  approximately  $2.2  million.
Kewaunee is a fabricator of heavy-steel  components  for cranes,  aerial devices
and other  equipment.  The acquisition  was financed from  borrowings  under the
Company's senior credit facility.

The  acquisition  was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and,
accordingly,  the  operating  results of Kewaunee are included in the  Company's
consolidated  statements  of income  beginning  November 1, 1999.  The  purchase
price, including acquisition costs, approximated the estimated fair value of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

Had the acquisition  occurred on October 1, 1999 or 1998,  there would have been
no material pro forma impact on the Company's consolidated net sales, net income
or earnings per share in fiscal 2000 or 1999.


5. LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company has outstanding a senior credit facility and $100.0 million of 8.75%
senior subordinated notes due March 1, 2008. The senior credit facility consists
of a six year  $100.0  million  revolving  credit  facility  ("Revolving  Credit
Facility")  and three term loan  facilities  ("Term Loan A",  "Term Loan B", and
"Term Loan C"). The  outstanding  balances as of March 31, 2000 on the Revolving
Credit  Facility,  Term Loan A, Term Loan B, and Term Loan C are $38.2  million,
$32.5 million, $13.5 million, and $13.5 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2000,  outstanding  borrowings of $38.2 million and $9.2 million of
outstanding  letters of credit  reduced  available  capacity under the Revolving
Credit Facility to $52.6 million.

Substantially  all the  tangible  and  intangible  assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries  (including  the stock of  certain  subsidiaries)  are  pledged  as
collateral under the senior credit facility. The senior credit facility includes
customary  affirmative and negative covenants and requires mandatory prepayments
to the extent of "excess cash flows" as defined in the senior credit facility.

The senior  subordinated  notes  were  issued  pursuant  to an  Indenture  dated
February  26,  1998 (the  "Indenture"),  between  the  Company,  the  Subsidiary
Guarantors  (as  defined  below) and Firstar  Trust  Company,  as  trustee.  The
Indenture contains customary affirmative and negative covenants.  The Subsidiary
Guarantors fully, unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantee the Company's
obligations under the senior subordinated notes.

6. COMMON STOCK OFFERING

On November 24, 1999, the Company sold  3,795,000  shares of its Common Stock at
$26.00 per share. Proceeds from the offering,  net of underwriting discounts and
commissions, totaled $93.7 million with $93.5 million used to repay indebtedness
under the Company's senior credit facility.

Pro forma  unaudited  earnings per share of the Company,  assuming  that the net
proceeds to the  Company  from the  offering  were used to repay term debt as of
October 1, 1999 and 1998, are summarized below:

                                                         Six Months Ended
                                                            March 31,
                                                      2000            1999
                                                      ----            ----

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

McNeilus Companies, Inc. ("McNeilus") was a defendant in litigation commenced in
1993 prior to the  acquisition of McNeilus by the Company,  which was brought by
The Heil Co. ("Heil"), a McNeilus competitor. This litigation sought damages and
made claims that McNeilus  infringed  certain  aspects of one of its patents.  A
settlement of the matter was reached in January 2000.

As part of its routine business operations, the Company disposes of and recycles
or reclaims certain industrial waste materials,  chemicals and solvents at third
party  disposal and  recycling  facilities,  which are  licensed by  appropriate
governmental agencies. In some instances,  these facilities have been and may be
designated by the United States  Environmental  Protection  Agency  ("EPA") or a
state   environmental   agency   for   remediation.   Under  the   Comprehensive
Environmental  Response,  Compensation,  and Liability Act (the "Superfund" law)
and  similar  state  laws,  each  potentially  responsible  party  ("PRP")  that
contributed  hazardous  substances  may be jointly and severally  liable for the
costs  associated  with  cleaning  up the  site.  Typically,  PRPs  negotiate  a
resolution  with the EPA  and/or  the state  environmental  agencies.  PRPs also
negotiate with each other regarding allocation of the cleanup cost.

As to one such Superfund site, Pierce  Manufacturing  Inc.  ("Pierce") is one of
431 PRPs participating in the costs of addressing the site and has been assigned
an allocation share of approximately 0.04%.  Currently, a report of the remedial
investigation/  feasibility  study is being completed,  and as such, an estimate
for the total  cost of the  remediation  of this site has not been made to date.
However,  based on estimates and the assigned allocations,  the Company believes
its  liability  at the site will not be  material  and its  share is  adequately
covered through  reserves  established by the Company at March 31, 2000.  Actual
liability could vary based on

results of the study, the resources of other PRPs, and the Company's final share
of liability.

The Company is addressing a regional trichloroethylene ("TCE") groundwater plume
on the south side of  Oshkosh,  Wisconsin.  The  Company  believes  there may be
multiple  sources in the area.  TCE was  detected at the  Company's  North Plant
facility with testing  showing the highest  concentrations  in a monitoring well
located on the upgradient  property line.  Because the investigation  process is
still  ongoing,  it is not possible  for the Company to estimate  its  long-term
total liability  associated  with this issue at this time.  Also, as part of the
regional TCE  groundwater  investigation,  the Company  conducted a  groundwater
investigation  of a former landfill located on Company  property.  The landfill,
acquired  by the  Company  in 1972,  is  approximately  2.0 acres in size and is
believed to have been used for the  disposal of  household  waste.  Based on the
investigation,  the Company  does not believe the landfill is one of the sources
of the TCE contamination. Based upon current knowledge, the Company believes its
liability  associated  with the TCE issue will not be  material  and that it has
established adequate reserves for the matter as of March 31, 2000. However, this
may change as investigations  proceed by the Company,  other unrelated  property
owners, and the government.

The Company is subject to other environmental  matters and legal proceedings and
claims,  including  patent,  antitrust,  product  liability and state dealership
regulation  compliance  proceedings,  that  arise  in  the  ordinary  course  of
business.  Although the final  results of all such matters and claims  cannot be
predicted with certainty,  management  believes that the ultimate  resolution of
all such matters and claims,  after taking into account the liabilities  accrued
with respect to such matters and claims, will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's  financial  condition or results of operations.  Actual results
could vary, among other things, due to the uncertainties involved in litigation.

The Company has guaranteed certain customers' obligations under deferred payment
contracts and lease purchase agreements  totaling  approximately $1.0 million at
March 31, 2000. The Company is also contingently  liable under bid,  performance
and  specialty  bonds  totaling  approximately  $148.6  million and open standby
letters  of  credit  issued  by the  Company's  bank in favor  of third  parties
totaling approximately $9.2 million at March 31, 2000.

9. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following tables present condensed  consolidating financial information for:
(a)  the  Company;  (b) on a  combined  basis,  the  guarantors  of  the  senior
subordinated  notes, which include all wholly-owned  subsidiaries of the Company
("Subsidiary  Guarantors")  other than  McNeilus  Financial  Services,  Inc. and
Oshkosh/McNeilus  Financial  Services,  Inc.,  which are the only  non-guarantor
subsidiaries  of  the  Company  ("Non-Guarantor  Subsidiaries"),  and  (c)  on a
combined basis, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Separate financial statements of
the Subsidiary  Guarantors are not presented  because the Subsidiary  Guarantors
are jointly,  severally and unconditionally liable under the guarantees, and the
Company believes separate financial  statements and other disclosures  regarding
the Subsidiary Guarantors are not material to investors.

The Company is comprised of Wisconsin and Florida  manufacturing  operations and
certain  corporate  management,  information  services  and  finance  functions.
Borrowings and related interest expense under the senior credit facility and the
senior subordinated notes are charged to the Company.  The Company has allocated
a portion of this  interest  expense to certain  Subsidiary  Guarantors  through
formal lending  arrangements.  There are no management fee arrangements  between
the Company and its Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Item 2.  Oshkosh Truck Corporation

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated  Financial  Condition
and  Results  of  Operations  and  other  sections  of this  Form  10-Q  contain
"forward-looking  statements"  that are believed to be within the meaning of the
Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995. All  statements  other than
statements  of  historical  fact  included in this  report,  including,  without
limitation,  statements  regarding Oshkosh Truck Corporation's (the "Company" or
"Oshkosh")  future financial  position,  business  strategy,  budgets,  targets,
projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations are
forward-looking  statements. In addition,  forward-looking  statements generally
can be  identified  by the use of  forward-looking  terminology  such as  "may",
"will", "expect",  "intend",  "estimates",  "anticipate",  "believe",  "should",
"plans", or "continue", or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar
terminology.  Although the Company believes the  expectations  reflected in such
forward-looking  statements are  reasonable,  it can give no assurance that such
expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ  materially  from the Company's  expectations  include,
without  limitation,  the  following:  (1) the  cyclical  nature of the concrete
placement industry; (2) the risks related to reductions or changes in government
expenditures;  (3) the potential for actual costs to exceed projected costs with
long-term,  fixed-price  government  contracts;  (4) the uncertainty inherent in
government  contracts;  (5)  the  challenges  of  identifying,   completing  and
integrating future acquisitions;  (6) competition; (7) disruptions in the supply
of parts or  components  from sole  source  suppliers  and  subcontractors;  (8)
product  liability  and  warranty  claims;  and (9) labor  relations  and market
conditions.  Additional  information  concerning factors that could cause actual
results to differ  materially  from those in the  forward-looking  statements is
contained  from time to time in the  Company's SEC filings,  including,  but not
limited to, the  Company's  prospectus  dated  November 18, 1999 included in the
Company's  Registration  Statement  on Form S-3 No.  333-87149.  All  subsequent
written and oral  forward-looking  statements  attributable  to the Company,  or
persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these
cautionary statements.

The major products  manufactured and marketed by each of the Company's  business
segments are as follows:

Second Quarter Fiscal 2000 Compared to 1999

Consolidated net sales increased $32.0 million,  or 10.7%, to $330.5 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

Commercial segment net sales increased $13.0 million, or 7.7%, to $181.9 million
for the second  quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the second  quarter of fiscal
1999.  Continued  strong  end-markets in the concrete  placement  industry,  the
growing  popularity  of  Oshkosh's  front-discharge  concrete  mixer and  sales,
marketing  and  distribution   synergies   created  through  the  February  1998
acquisition of McNeilus  Companies,  Inc.  ("McNeilus")  contributed to an 11.6%
increase in concrete  mixer sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared
to the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Refuse packer sales decreased 4.1% for the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999 on a
lower mix of packer body and chassis package sales. Refuse packer unit volume in
the quarter was flat as municipal sales  increases  offset  significantly  lower
packer shipments to the U.S.'s largest waste haulers.

Fire and emergency  segment net sales  increased  $17.0  million,  or 19.8%,  to
$102.8  million  for the second  quarter of fiscal  2000  compared to the second
quarter of fiscal  1999,  on a strong mix of custom  pumpers  and  aerials.  The
Company believes production inefficiencies resulting from the installation of an
enterprise-wide   resource  planning  ("ERP")  system  at  Pierce  Manufacturing
Inc.("Pierce") have largely been resolved.

Defense segment net sales increased $1.4 million,  or 3.2%, to $45.8 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999.
A slight  decrease in defense  vehicle  sales was offset by an increase in parts

contract awarded to Oshkosh in

December 1998 began in the second  quarter of fiscal 2000.  The Company  expects
sales under this contract to increase throughout fiscal 2000.


First Six Months of Fiscal 2000 Compared to 1999

Consolidated net sales increased $53.2 million,  or 10.2%, to $574.4 million for
the first six months of fiscal  2000  compared to the first six months of fiscal
1999.

Commercial  segment  net sales  increased  $31.6  million,  or 11.9%,  to $297.3
million for the first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first six months
of fiscal 1999. Continued strong end-markets in the concrete placement industry,
the growing  popularity of Oshkosh's  front-discharge  concrete mixer and sales,
marketing  and  distribution   synergies   created  through  the  February  1998
acquisition of McNeilus  contributed to a 13.7% increase in concrete mixer sales
for the first six  months of fiscal  2000  compared  to the first six  months of
fiscal  1999.  Refuse  packer sales  increased  7.3% for the first six months of
fiscal 2000  compared  to the first six months of fiscal  1999,  generally  as a
result of increases in sales to municipal and international customers.

Fire and emergency  segment net sales  increased  $18.8  million,  or 11.7%,  to
$178.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first six
months of fiscal 1999. Pierce comprises a substantial majority of the revenue of
this segment. Pierce's sales increased 12.7% during the period, which is in line
with  Pierce's  long-term  sales  growth rate of 11% per annum  since 1980.  The
Company believes production inefficiencies resulting from the installation of an
ERP system at Pierce have largely been resolved.

Defense segment net sales increased $2.3 million,  or 2.4%, to $98.7 million for
the first six months of fiscal  2000  compared to the first six months of fiscal
1999.  Vehicle sales under the MTVR contract awarded to Oshkosh in December 1998
began in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company  expects defense segment
sales to increase  substantially in the second half of fiscal 2000 as MTVR sales
ramp up and as Oshkosh's heavy tactical truck sales are more heavily weighted to
the second half of the year.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2000 Compared to 1999

Consolidated  operating income increased $7.8 million,  or 46.1%, for the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

Commercial  segment  operating income increased $4.2 million,  or 30.7%, for the
second  quarter of fiscal 2000  compared to the second  quarter of fiscal  1999.
Operating  income as a percent  of segment  sales  ("operating  income  margin")
increased to 9.8% of commercial  segment sales for the second  quarter of fiscal
2000  compared to 8.1% of  commercial  segment  sales for the second  quarter of
fiscal 1999.  Increased  concrete mixer unit volume and continued cost reduction
activities contributed to the improvement in the operating income margin.

Fire and emergency  segment  operating income increased $2.6 million,  or 37.8%,
for the second  quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the second  quarter of fiscal
1999. The operating  income margin  increased from 8.0% to 9.2% during this same
time period.  Increased operating income margins were primarily  attributable to
increased  sales  volume and  improved  production  efficiencies  as  operations
stabilized  under  Pierce's  new ERP  system.  The  Company  believes  that  any
lingering effects from the system conversion have been substantially resolved.

Defense  segment  operating  income  decreased $2.4 million,  or 53.0%,  for the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999. The
defense  operating  income margin decreased to 4.7% of defense segment sales for
the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to 10.4% of defense segment sales for
the second  quarter of fiscal 1999.  Second  quarter 2000  operating  income was
adversely impacted by an unfavorable truck sales mix and higher bid and proposal
spending compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

Corporate and other expenses decreased $3.4 million to $4.8 million,  or 1.5% of
consolidated net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $8.2 million,
or 2.8% of  consolidated  net  sales,  for the second  quarter  of fiscal  1999.
Results for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 included a $3.8 million charge for
litigation.  Excluding that charge,  corporate  expenses  increased $0.4 million
generally  due to increased  staffing to support the  Company's  higher level of
sales.


First Six Months of Fiscal 2000 Compared to 1999

Consolidated  operating income increased $11.6 million,  or 39.0%, for the first
six months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first six months of fiscal 1999.

Commercial  segment  operating income increased $8.4 million,  or 45.9%, for the
first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first six months of fiscal 1999.
The commercial  operating income margin increased to 9.0% of commercial  segment
sales for the first six months of fiscal  2000  compared  to 6.9% of  commercial
segment sales for the first six months of fiscal 1999.  Increased concrete mixer
unit  volume  and  continued  cost  reduction  activities   contributed  to  the
improvement in the operating income margin.



                                       23
<PAGE>


Fire and emergency  segment  operating income increased $1.7 million,  or 14.5%,
for the first six  months of fiscal  2000  compared  to the first six  months of
fiscal 1999. The operating income margin increased from 7.3% to 7.5% during this
same time period.  Increased  operating income margins were  attributable to the
resolution  of  the  first  quarter  production   inefficiencies  following  the
installation at Pierce of the final modules of a new ERP system.

Defense segment operating income decreased $1.1 million, or 10.3%, for the first
six months of fiscal 2000  compared to the first six months of fiscal 1999.  The
defense  operating  income margin decreased to 9.8% of defense segment sales for
the first six months of fiscal 2000  compared to 11.2% of defense  segment sales
for the first six months of fiscal 1999.  Increases in parts and MTVR sales with
lower margins and higher bid and proposal spending  contributed to the decreased
operating income margins for the first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to the
first six months of fiscal 1999.

Corporate and other expenses decreased $2.5 million to $8.6 million,  or 1.5% of
consolidated  net  sales,  for the first six  months of fiscal  2000 from  $11.2
million,  or 2.1% of consolidated  net sales, for the first six months of fiscal
1999.  Results for the first six months of fiscal 1999  included a $3.8  million
pre-tax  charge  for  litigation.  Excluding  that  charge,  corporate  expenses
increased $1.3 million generally due to increased staffing to support the higher
level of sales.


Analysis of Non-Operating Income Statement Items

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2000 Compared to 1999

Net interest expense decreased $1.2 million,  or 18.4%, in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 compared to the second  quarter of fiscal 1999.  Prepayment of $93.5
million of term debt from  proceeds of the  Company's  November  24, 1999 public
offering  of Common  Stock  resulted  in a $1.9  million  reduction  in interest
expense  for the  quarter.  Increased  borrowings  to fund  the  acquisition  of
Kewaunee  Engineering  Corporation  ("Kewaunee")  and to  support  the  seasonal
working  capital  requirements  of the  commercial  segment  contributed  to the
increase in interest expense after consideration of the debt prepayment.

The  effective  tax rate for  combined  federal and state  income  taxes for the
second  quarter of fiscal 2000 was 40.6% compared to 42.2% in the second quarter
of fiscal 1999.  Excluding the impact of $1.4 million of nondeductible  goodwill
in the second  quarter of fiscal 2000 and $1.5 million in the second  quarter of
fiscal 1999, the Company's effective income tax rate was 38% in both periods.

Equity in  earnings  of an  unconsolidated  partnership  of $0.3  million in the
second  quarter of fiscal 2000 and $0.4 million in the second  quarter of fiscal
1999   represents  the  Company's   equity   interest  in  its  lease  financing
partnership.

In January 2000, the Company  entered into a technology  transfer  agreement and
collected certain previously  written-off  receivables from a foreign affiliate,
which was part of a business that the Company exited in 1995.

Gross proceeds of $3.2 million,  less taxes of $1.2 million,  or net proceeds of
$2.0 million,  have been recorded as a gain from discontinued  operations in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000


First Six Months of Fiscal 2000 Compared to 1999

Net interest expense  decreased $2.0 million,  or 15.3%, in the first six months
of fiscal 2000  compared to the first six months of fiscal 1999.  Prepayment  of
$93.5  million of term debt from  proceeds of the  Company's  November  24, 1999
public offering of Common Stock resulted in a $2.9 million reduction in interest
expense  for the  period.  Increased  working  capital  borrowings  to fund  the
Kewaunee  acquisition  and to support  overall sales growth  contributed  to the
increase in net interest expense after consideration of the debt prepayment.

The effective tax rate for combined federal and state income taxes for the first
six months of fiscal  2000 was 41.4%  compared to 43.5% for the first six months
of fiscal 1999.  Excluding the impact of $2.7 million of nondeductible  goodwill
in the first six months of fiscal 2000 and $2.8  million in the first six months
of  fiscal  1999,  the  Company's  effective  income  tax  rate was 38% for both
periods.

Equity in earnings of an unconsolidated partnership of $0.6 million in the first
six  months of fiscal  2000 and $0.7  million  in the first six months of fiscal
1999  represents  the  Company's  equity  in  earnings  of its  lease  financing
partnership.


Financial Condition

First Six Months of Fiscal 2000

During the first six months of fiscal  2000,  cash  decreased by $0.5 million to
$4.7  million at March 31,  2000.  Cash used in  operating  activities  of $16.3
million,  capital  expenditures of $8.7 million, an increase in long-term assets
of $2.3  million,  dividend  payments  of $2.5  million and the  acquisition  of
Kewaunee for $5.6 million were funded by net  borrowings  of $33.2  million.  In
November 1999, the Company  completed a public  offering of 3,795,000  shares of
Common Stock at $26.00 per share,  before commissions and expenses.  Proceeds to
the Company, net of underwriting discounts and commissions,  were used to prepay
$93.5 million of term debt under the Company's  senior credit  facility.  During
the period,  inventory  increased $50.9 million,  including $36.6 million in the
commercial  segment  as a  result  of  seasonal  build  requirements.  Fire  and
emergency inventories increased $17.1 million during the period,  generally as a
result  of   earlier   commercial   chassis   and   systems-related   production
inefficiencies at Pierce.  Defense segment inventories were down slightly due to
timing of inventory  purchases.  Increases in inventory were partially offset by
increased trade payables of $15.6 million and a $11.2 million  increase in floor
plan notes payable related to commercial segment chassis purchases.


First Six Months of Fiscal 1999

During the first six months of fiscal 1999, cash increased by $0.8 million. Cash
used in  operations  during the period of $3.8  million,  equipment and



                                       25
<PAGE>


software  purchases of $7.2 million and dividend and scheduled  debt payments of
$2.1  million and $0.2  million,  respectively,  were funded by a $13.3  million
increase in borrowings  under the Company's  revolving  credit facility and $0.8
million of proceeds  from  exercise of Common Stock  options under the Company's
Incentive Stock Plan.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company  had $52.6  million of unused  availability  under the terms of its
revolving  credit  facility as of March 31,  2000.  The  Company's  primary cash
requirements  include  working  capital,  interest  and  principal  payments  on
indebtedness,   capital  expenditures,   dividends,  and,  potentially,   future
acquisitions.  The  primary  sources of cash are  expected  to be cash flow from
operations and borrowings under the Company's senior credit facility.

As  indicated  above,  in  November  1999,  the  Company  completed  the sale of
3,795,000 shares of Common Stock.  Proceeds to the Company,  net of underwriting
discounts  and   commissions,   were  used  to  prepay  $93.5  million  of  term
indebtedness  under the  Company's  senior  credit  facility.  In addition,  the
Company purchased the manufacturing assets of Kewaunee. The Kewaunee acquisition
was financed through borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.

The senior credit facility requires  prepayment of indebtedness to the extent of
"excess  cash  flows" as  defined  in the senior  credit  agreement.  Based upon
current and  anticipated  future  operations,  management  believes that capital
resources  will be adequate to meet future  working  capital,  debt  service and
other  capital  requirements  for fiscal  2000,  including  the working  capital
requirements  associated with the start-up of production under the MTVR contract
and the acquisition of Kewaunee.

The Company's cash flow from operations has fluctuated, and will likely continue
to  fluctuate,  significantly  from quarter to quarter due to changes in working
capital arising principally from seasonal fluctuations in sales.

Capital  expenditures are expected to approximate $20 million in fiscal 2000 and
$15  million  in  fiscal  2001.   Fiscal  2000  capital   expenditures   include
approximately $4 million of an $8 million expansion of the Company's  production
facilities  in Oshkosh.  The  remaining $4 million of the  expansion  will occur
early in fiscal 2001.


New Accounting Standards

The Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and Hedging  Activities," which was amended by SFAS No. 137. Provisions of these
standards  are  required to be adopted in years  beginning  after June 15, 2000.
Because  of the  Company's  minimal  use of  derivatives,  management  does  not
anticipate that the adoption of the new statement will have a significant effect
on the Company's financial condition, profitability or cash flows.



                                       26

Customers and Backlog

Sales to the U. S.  Department  of Defense  comprised  approximately  17% of the
Company's  net sales in the first six  months of fiscal  2000.  No other  single
customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net sales for this period.
A  substantial  majority of the  Company's  net sales are derived from  customer
orders prior to commencing production.

The  Company's  backlog  at March 31,  2000  increased  29.3% to $739.9  million
compared to $572.2  million at March 31, 1999. The  commercial  segment  backlog
decreased  by $19.4  million,  or 10.3%,  to $168.3  million  at March 31,  2000
compared to March 31, 1999.  The fire and emergency  segment  backlog  increased
$29.7 million,  or 14.9%,  to $228.8 million at March 31, 2000 compared to March
31, 1999. The defense segment backlog increased by $157.4 million,  or 84.9%, to
$342.8  million at March 31, 2000  compared to March 31,  1999,  reflecting  the
funding  of the  second  year of the  MTVR  contract.  Approximately  30% of the
aggregate March 31, 2000 backlog is not expected to be filled in fiscal 2000.

Reported  backlog  excludes  purchase  options  and  announced  orders for which
definitive  contracts have not been  executed.  Additionally,  backlog  excludes
unfunded  portions of the U. S. Department of Defense  long-term family and MTVR
contracts. Backlog information and comparisons thereof as of different dates may
not be accurate  indicators of future sales or the ratio of the Company's future
sales to the U. S. Department of Defense versus its sales to other customers.

ITEM 1  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

McNeilus was a defendant in litigation, which was commenced in 1998 prior to the
acquisition  of  McNeilus by the  Company,  in the U.S.  District  court for the
Northern District of Alabama. The litigation,  which was brought by The Heil Co.
("Heil"),  a  McNeilus  competitor,  sought  damages  and claims  that  McNeilus
infringed certain aspects of one of its patents.  A settlement of the matter was
reached on January 12,  2000.  The  settlement  included a payment to Heil,  the
amount of which was fully reserved for at December 31, 1999.

                                    RESTATED
                            ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

                                       OF

                            OSHKOSH TRUCK CORPORATION

          Pursuant to Section  180.1007 of the  Wisconsin  Business  Corporation
Law, these Restated Articles of Incorporation shall supersede and take the place
of the Corporation's  heretofore existing Restated Articles of Incorporation and
all amendments thereto.

          First:  The name of the corporation is OSHKOSH TRUCK CORPORATION.

          Second:  The  purpose for which the  corporation  is  organized  is to
engage in any lawful activity within the purposes of which  corporations  may be
organized under Chapter 180 of the Wisconsin Statutes.

          Third:  As  of  December  18,  1996,  the   authorized,   issued   and
outstanding common stock, one cent ($.01) par value, of the corporation consists
of Class A Common  Stock  ("Class  A Common  Stock")  and  Class B Common  Stock
("Class B Common Stock").  Upon the  effectiveness of these Restated Articles of
Incorporation,  each issued and outstanding  share of Class B Common Stock shall
immediately and  automatically  be redesignated  without further act on anyone's
part as a share of  "Common  Stock"  ("Common  Stock"),  and stock  certificates
representing  outstanding  shares of Class B Common  Stock shall  thereupon  and
thereafter be deemed to represent a like number of shares of Common Stock.

          Until  such time as no shares of Class A Common  Stock are  issued and
outstanding,  Sections AA through DD of this Third  Article  shall govern and be
applicable.  From and after  such time as no shares of Class A Common  Stock are
issued and outstanding,  Sections A through D of this Third Article shall govern
and be applicable.

          At such time as Sections AA through DD of this Third  Article shall no
longer  govern and apply,  the  appropriate  officers of the  corporation  shall
promptly (i) cause to be prepared and duly filed with the  Wisconsin  Department
of  Financial  Institutions  such  documents as are  necessary to restate  these
Amended and Restated Articles to eliminate  Sections AA through DD of this Third
Article and any other words, sentences,  clauses or paragraphs contained in this
Third  Article  providing  for or  relating to Class A Common  Stock  and/or the
conversion  of shares of Class A Common  Stock into  shares of Common  Stock and
(ii) cause to be  prepared  and sent to  registered  holders  of Common  Stock a
notice to the effect that such action has been taken.

          A.  STOCK

          The total number of shares of stock which the  corporation  shall have
the authority to issue is sixty-three  million  (63,000,000)  shares itemized by
classes as follows:

              1.  Sixty-one  million  (61,000,000)  shares of common stock,  one
cent  ($.01) par value,  divided  into the  following  classes:  (a) one million
(1,000,000) shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Class A Common Stock"); and (b)
sixty million (60,000,000) shares of Common Stock (the "Common Stock").

              2.  Two million  (2,000,000)  shares of preferred  stock, one cent
($.01) par value (the "Preferred Stock").

          B.  THE COMMON STOCK AND THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK

              1.  The  holders of Common  Stock  shall be  entitled  to  receive
dividends  when and if  declared  by the  Board of  Directors  out of any  funds
legally available for the payment of such dividends;  provided, however, that if
a share of Class A Common Stock shall be converted into Common Stock pursuant to
Paragraph 10.f of Section BB of this Third Article subsequent to the record date
for  payment of a  dividend  or other  distribution  on shares of Class A Common
stock but prior to such payment, then the registered holder of such share at the
close of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive the  dividend
or other distribution payable in the amount declared per share of Class A Common
Stock  on the date  set for  payment  of such  dividend  or  other  distribution
notwithstanding  the conversion thereof or the corporation's  default in payment
of the dividend or distribution due on such date.

              2.  Each share of Common  Stock shall be  entitled  to one vote on
each matter submitted to a vote of holders of Common Stock;  provided,  however,
that if shares of Class A Common  Stock shall be  converted  into  Common  Stock
pursuant to Paragraph 10.f of Section BB of this Third Article subsequent to the
record date for the determination of shareholders  entitled to vote at a meeting
of shareholders or upon a matter otherwise presented for a shareholder vote, but
prior to such meeting or vote, then the registered holder of each share of Class
A Common  Stock and Common  Stock at the close of  business  on such record date
shall be  entitled  to one vote for each such share at such  meeting or for such
vote on each matter  presented for a vote by the holders of Class A Common Stock
and/or Common Stock.

              3.  In  case  of  any   voluntary  or   involuntary   liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the corporation,  the holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled to receive on a pro rata basis the proceeds of any remaining  assets
of the corporation.

              4.  No holders of shares of Common  Stock  shall have a preemptive
right to  acquire  unissued  shares of stock of the  corporation  or  securities
convertible into such shares or carrying a right to subscribe to or acquire such
shares.

              5.  The rights of the  Common Stock  under this  Section B of this
Third Article of these  Restated  Articles of  Incorporation  are subject to the
provisions of Section C below concerning the Preferred Stock.

              6.  From and after such time as no shares of Class A Common  Stock
are issued and outstanding,  the corporation shall not issue any shares of Class
A Common Stock.



                                      -2-

          C.  THE PREFERRED STOCK

          The Preferred  Stock may be issued in series,  and authority is vested
in the Board of Directors,  from time to time, to establish and designate series
and to fix the variations in the powers,  preferences,  rights,  qualifications,
limitations or restrictions of any series of the Preferred  Stock, but only with
respect to:

              1.  the dividend rate or rates and the  preferences,  if any, over
any other  class or series (or of any other  class or series  over such class or
series) with respect to dividends,  the terms and conditions  upon which and the
periods in respect of which  dividends  shall be payable,  whether and upon what
conditions such dividends  shall be cumulative  and, if cumulative,  the date or
dates from which dividends shall accumulate;

              2.  the price  and terms and  conditions  on which  shares  may be
redeemed;

              3.  the amount payable  upon shares in the event of  voluntary  or
involuntary liquidation;

              4.  sinking  fund  provisions  for the  redemption  or purchase of
shares;

              5.  the terms and conditions on which shares may be converted into
shares of any other  class or series of the same or any other  class of stock of
the  Corporation,  if the shares of any series are issued with the  privilege of
conversion; and

              6.  voting rights, if any.

          Except as to the matters expressly set forth above,  all series of the
Preferred Sock shall have the same  preference,  limitations and relative rights
and shall rank equally, share ratably and be identical in all respects as to all
matters.  All shares of any one series of the Preferred  Stock shall be alike in
every particular.

          D.  GENERAL

              1.  Where approval by holders of shares of one or more  classes of
the Common Stock and/or the  Preferred  Stock is required  under the laws of the
State of  Wisconsin  to  effect  an  amendment  to these  Restated  Articles  of
Incorporation,  a merger or consolidation,  a sale of the corporation's  assets,
dissolution or otherwise,  the affirmative  vote of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding  shares of each class entitled to vote on such matter,  in class
votes where appropriate, shall be sufficient to approve the action.

          AA. STOCK

          The total number of shares of stock which the  corporation  shall have
the authority to issue is sixty-three  million  (63,000,000)  shares itemized by
classes as follows:

              1.  Sixty-one  million  (61,000,000)  shares of common stock,  one
cent  ($.01) par value,  divided  into the  following  classes:  (a) one million
(1,000,000) shares of Class A



                                      -3-
<PAGE>


Common Stock (the "Class A Common  Stock");  and (b) sixty million  (60,000,000)
shares of Common  Stock (the  "Common  Stock") (the Class A Common Stock and the
Common Stock are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Common Shares").

              2.  Two million (2,000,000)  shares of preferred  stock,  one cent
($.01) par value (the "Preferred Stock").

          BB. THE COMMON SHARES

              1.  Whenever any Dividend shall be paid by the  corporation on the
Common  Shares,  such Dividend  shall be paid so that the Dividend per share for
the Common Stock shall equal one hundred  fifteen percent (115%) of the Dividend
per share for the Class A Common  Stock.  As used  herein,  the term  "Dividend"
shall mean any dividend paid by the  corporation  in cash or other assets except
as a dividend payable solely in shares of any class of the capital stock of this
corporation.  In  calculating  the amount of any Dividend  payable on the Common
Stock,  such  Dividend  shall be rounded to the  closest one quarter of one cent
($.0025).

              2.  The holders of Common  Stock shall not be entitled to any vote
on any matters  except:  (a) as may be required by law;  and (b) that the Common
Stock  shall have one vote for each share for the  election  and  removal of the
Common  Directors  voting as a separate class.  The "Common  Directors" shall be
that number of Directors  which  constitutes  twenty five  percent  (25%) of the
authorized  number of  members  of the Board of  Directors,  including,  for all
purposes,  the Common  Directors  and any  Directors  which are  entitled  to be
elected by the holders of any Preferred  Stock.  If twenty five percent (25%) of
the  authorized  number of Directors is not a whole  number,  then the number of
Common Directors shall be rounded to the closest whole number of Directors,  but
not less than one (1). In determining the closest whole number, any number which
includes a  fraction  equal to .5 shall be deemed to be the next  highest  whole
number.

              3.  The  holders of Class A Common Stock  shall be entitled to one
vote for each share of Class A Common  Stock on all matters  except the election
of Common Directors.

              4.  In case of voluntary or involuntary  liquidation,  dissolution
or winding up of the corporation,  the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled
to receive out of the assets of the  corporation  in money or money's  worth the
sum of Seven and 50/100 Dollars ($7.50) per share (the "First Common  Payment"),
subject to  adjustment  in the event of any  subdivisions,  combinations,  stock
splits or stock dividends  involving  shares of the Common Stock,  before any of
such assets shall be paid or distributed to holders of Class A Common Stock, and
if the assets of the corporation shall be insufficient to pay the holders of all
of the Common  Stock then  outstanding  the entire  First  Common  Payment,  the
holders of each  outstanding  share of the Common  Stock shall share  ratably in
such assets in  proportion to the amounts which would be payable with respect to
Common Stock if the First Common Payment was paid in full.

              5.  After payment in full of the First Common Payment, the holders
of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the remaining assets
of the corporation in money or money's worth the sum of Seven and 50/100 Dollars
($7.50) per



                                      -4-
<PAGE>


share (the "Second Common  Payment"),  subject to adjustment in the event of any
subdivisions,  combinations, stock splits or stock dividends involving shares of
the Class A Common Stock,  before any of such remaining  assets shall be paid or
distributed to holders of the Common Stock,  and if the remaining  assets of the
corporation  shall be  insufficient  to pay the  holders  of all of the  Class A
Common Stock then  outstanding the entire Second Common Payment,  the holders of
each  outstanding  share of the Class A Common Stock shall share ratably in such
assets in proportion to the amounts which would be payable with respect to Class
A Common Stock if the Second Common Payment was paid in full.

              6.  After  payment  in full of the First  Common  Payment  and the
Second Common Payment,  any further payments on the liquidation,  dissolution or
winding up of the business of the  corporation  shall be on an equal basis as to
all of the Common Shares then outstanding.

              7.  Except as to the matters expressly set forth above,  the Class
A Common Stock and the Common Stock shall be identical in all respects.

              8.  No holders of Common Shares shall have a  preemptive  right to
acquire  unissued shares of stock of the  corporation or securities  convertible
into such shares or carrying a right to subscribe to or acquire such shares.

              9.  The rights of the Common  Shares under this Section BB of this
Third Article of these  Restated  Articles of  Incorporation  are subject to the
provisions of Section CC below concerning the Preferred Stock.

              10. Shares  of Class A Common  Stock  shall  be  convertible  into
shares of Common Stock as provided below:

                  a.  Each  shares  of  Class A Common  Stock may at any time or
     from time to time,  at the  option of the  respective  holder  thereof,  be
     converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable  share of Common Stock.
     Such  conversion   right  shall  be  exercised  by  the  surrender  of  the
     certificate representing such share of Class A Common Stock to be converted
     to  the  corporation  at any  time  during  normal  business  hours  at the
     principal  executive  offices of the  corporation  (to the attention of the
     Secretary  of the  corporation),  or if an agent  for the  registration  or
     transfer  of shares  of Class A Common  Stock is then  duly  appointed  and
     acting  (said agent  being  referred  to in this  Article as the  "Transfer
     Agent"), then at the office of the Transfer Agent, accompanied by a written
     notice  of the  election  by the  holder  thereof  to  convert,  and (if so
     required  by the  corporation  or the  Transfer  Agent) by  instruments  of
     transfer,  in each case in form  satisfactory to the corporation and to the
     Transfer  Agent,  duly  executed  by such  holder  or his  duly  authorized
     attorney,  and transfer tax stamps or funds therefor,  if required pursuant
     to Paragraph 10.e. below.

                  b.  As  promptly  as  practicable   after  the  surrender  for
     conversion of a certificate  representing shares of Class A Common Stock in
     the manner  provided  in  Paragraph  10.a.  above,  and the  payment to the
     corporation  in cash of any amount



                                      -5-
<PAGE>


     required by the provisions of Paragraph 10.e., the corporation will deliver
     or cause to be delivered at the office of the Transfer  Agent to, or, if no
     Transfer Agent has been appointed, upon the written order of, the holder of
     such  certificate a certificate or certificates  representing the number of
     full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such  conversion,  issued in such
     name or names as such holder may direct. Such conversion shall be deemed to
     have been made  immediately  prior to the close of  business on the date of
     the  surrender  of the  certificate  representing  shares of Class A Common
     Stock,  and all rights of the holder of such  shares as such  holder  shall
     cease at such  time,  and the  person or persons in whose name or names the
     certificate or certificates  representing the shares of Common Stock are to
     be issued  shall be treated for all  purposes  as having  become the record
     holder or holders of such  shares of Common  Stock at such time;  provided,
     however,  that any such  surrender  and  payment on any date when the stock
     transfer  records of the corporation  shall be closed shall  constitute the
     person or persons in whose name or names the  certificate  or  certificates
     representing  shares of Common Stock are to be issued as the record  holder
     or  holders  thereof  for all  purposes  immediately  prior to the close of
     business on the next  succeeding day on which such stock  transfer  records
     are open.

                  c.  No adjustments in respect of dividends  shall be made upon
     the  conversion  of any share of Class A Common Stock;  provided,  however,
     that if a share shall be  converted  subsequent  to the record date for the
     payment of a  dividend  or other  distribution  on shares of Class A Common
     Stock but prior to such payment, the registered holder of such share at the
     close of  business  on such  record  date shall be  entitled to receive the
     dividend or other distribution  payable in the amount declared per share of
     Class A Common Stock on the date set for payment of such  dividend or other
     distribution  notwithstanding  the conversion  thereof or the corporation's
     default in payment of the dividend or distribution due on such date.

                  d.  The  corporation  will  at  all  times  reserve  and  keep
     available,  solely  for the  purpose of  issuance  upon  conversion  of the
     outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, such number of shares of Common
     Stock as shall be  issuable  upon the  conversion  of all such  outstanding
     shares;  provided,  that  nothing  contained  herein  shall be construed to
     preclude the corporation  from satisfying its obligations in respect of the
     conversion of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock by delivery of
     purchased  shares of Common  Stock  which are held in the  treasury  of the
     corporation.

                  e.  The issuance of  certificates  for shares of Common  Stock
     upon  conversion  of shares of Class A Common  Stock shall be made  without
     charge for any stamp or other  similar  tax in  respect  of such  issuance.
     However,  if any such certificate is to be issued in a name other than that
     of the  holder  of the  share  or  shares  of  Class A  Common  Stock to be
     converted,  the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay
     to the  corporation the amount of any tax that may be payable in respect of
     any  transfer   involved  in  such  issuance  or  shall  establish  to  the
     satisfaction of the corporation that such tax has been paid.

                  f.  If at any time the number of outstanding shares of Class A
     Common  Stock that the  Moslings (as defined  below)  beneficially  own (as
     defined below) is less than 150,000 shares,  then the outstanding shares of
     Class A Common Stock shall be deemed  without  further act on anyone's part

      by the Funded Plan or, as elected by the  Participant  (or his Spouse,  in
      the  event  of  the  Participant's  death  while  employed),  on  a  basis
      consistent with all elections made by the Participant  and/or Spouse under
      the  Funded  Plan.  Any  conversions  to an  optional  method  of  payment
      permitted under the Funded Plan shall be the Actuarial  Equivalent of such
      normal form of payment.  Benefits due under this Section III shall be paid
      coincident with the payment date of benefits under the Funded Plan.

3.4   Treatment  of Plan  Payments  Under  Other  Plans.  Benefits  earned  by a
      Participant under this Plan shall not be considered "Compensation" as that
      term is defined in other plans sponsored by the Employer.

4.1   Death of a Participant  Before  Commencement of Retirement  Benefit.  If a
      Participant dies before the date Retirement  Benefits commence  hereunder,
      no  benefits  shall be payable  under this  Plan,  except as to  otherwise
      provided in section 4.2.

4.2   Preretirement Spouse's Death Benefit.

      (a)  In the case of a Participant  who has a  nonforfeitable  right to his
           Accrued Normal Retirement Benefit, who has a surviving Spouse and who
           dies prior to his Retirement Date (whether or not such Participant is
           employed by the Employer or an  Affiliate)  there shall be payable to
           his surviving Spouse a Preretirement Spouse's Death Benefit.

      (b)  The monthly  payments to a surviving  Spouse under the  Preretirement
           Spouse's  Death Benefit shall equal the amounts which would have been
           payable as a survivor annuity under the Joint and 50 Percent Spouse's
           Annuity if--

           (1)  in the case of a Participant  who dies after attaining his Early
                Retirement  Date, such Participant had retired with an immediate
                Joint and 50  Percent  Spouse's  Annuity  on the day  before the
                Participant's death, or

           (2)  in the case of a Participant who dies on or before attaining his
                Early   Retirement   Date,   such   Participant  had  terminated
                employment  on the  date of  death  (if his  employment  had not
                terminated), survived to his Early Retirement Date, retired with
                an immediate Joint and 50 Percent  Spouse's Annuity on his Early
                Retirement  Date,  and died on the day  after  the date on which
                such Participant  would have attained his Early Retirement Date.
                If,  pursuant to subsection  (c) below, a Spouse elects to defer
                the  commencement of the  Preretirement  Spouse's Death Benefit,
                the amount of the benefit payable  thereunder shall be increased
                to reflect such deferral.

      (c)  Payment   of  the   Preretirement   Spouse's   Death   Benefit  to  a
           Participant's  Spouse  shall  commence  on the date  selected  by the
           surviving  Spouse.  Such date shall occur no earlier than the date on
           which a deceased Participant would have attained his Early Retirement
           Date (in the case of a  Participant  who dies prior to attaining  his
           Early Retirement  Date), or the date of the  Participant's  death (in
           the case of a  Participant  who dies on or after  attaining his Early
           Retirement  Date),  and no later than the first day of the month next
           following the date the Participant would have attained age 62.

6.1   Survival.  Payment of any Retirement Benefit hereunder which is contingent
      upon the  survival of the payee shall cease with the last  payment due the
      payee before the payee's death.

6.2   Administrative  Powers Relating to Payments. If a Participant or Spouse is
      under a legal  disability  or, by reason of illness or mental or  physical
      disability, is unable, in the opinion of the Committee, to attend properly
      to such Participant's  personal financial matters,  the Committee may make
      such payments in such of the following ways as the Committee shall direct:

      (a)  Directly to such Participant or Spouse;

      (b)  To the legal representative of such Participant or Spouse; or

      (c)  To some relative by blood or marriage,  or friend, for the benefit of
           such Participant or Spouse.

      Any  payment  made  pursuant  to this  section  6.2  shall be in  complete
      discharge of the obligation for such payment under the Plan.

6.3   Missing Persons.

      (a)  The Company shall be deemed to have made  adequate  tender of payment
           of any benefit  payable  hereunder  to a person if payment is made by
           check or by money  order,  and  mailed  to the last  address  of such
           person furnished to the Company.

      (b)  If a person  shall  fail to claim or  collect  any such  tender for a
           period of three  months from the date  thereof,  the Company may stop
           payment on such  tender and on any other  tenders  subsequent  to the
           tender not claimed or collected  and may suspend any further  benefit
           payments  hereunder  until the Company  can  ascertain  whether  such
           person  was living at the time any such  tender was made and  whether
           any  benefit  payments  are due  hereunder  to a  person.  Upon  such
           suspension  of  payments,   a  written  notice  thereof  and  of  the
           provisions  of this section 6.3 shall be mailed by the Company to the
           last  address  known to it of the person  entitled to such payment or
           payments.

      (c)  If such person  shall fail to claim any such  payment for a period of
           three years after such written notice is mailed,  such person for all
           purposes  of the Plan be deemed  to have died on the day  immediately
           preceding  the  date of the  first  such  tender  which  has not been
           claimed or collected.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

7.1   Funding.   The  Plan  is  intended   as  an  unfunded   plan  of  deferred
      compensation.  The Company intends to establish  appropriate  reserves for
      the Plan on its books of account in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
      accounting principles.  Such reserves shall be, for all purposes,  part of
      the beneficial  funds of the Company and no  Participant,  Spouse or other
      person  claiming a right under the Plan shall have any interest,  right or
      title to such reserves.

7.2   Continuation  of the Plan.  The Plan shall be binding upon the Company and
      any successors or assigns of the Company including any corporation with or
      into which the Company or its  successors or assigns shall  consolidate or
      merge and any transfer of  substantially  all of the assets of the Company
      or its successors or assigns.

7.3   Right to Amend,  Suspend or Terminate.  The Company  reserves the right at
      any time and from time to time to amend,  suspend or terminate the Plan by
      action of its Board of Directors  without the consent of any  Participant,
      Spouse,  or other persons claiming a right under the Plan. No amendment of
      the Plan shall reduce the benefits of any Participant  below the amount to
      which such  Participant has become vested pursuant to section 5.1 prior to
      the date of amendment.

7.4   Rights to Benefits.  No person shall have any right to a benefit under the
      Plan except as such benefit has accrued to such person in accordance  with
      the terms of the Plan,  and that such right  shall be no greater  than the
      rights of any unsecured general creditors of the Company.  Notwithstanding
      any other  provisions of this Plan,  if a Participant  shall be terminated
      for Cause,  all of such  Participant's  rights to benefits under this Plan
      shall be forfeited.  For purposes of this Plan,  the Company may terminate
      the  Participant's  employment  after the Plan  Effective Date for "Cause"
      only if the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) have been met:

                (i)   (A)  the  Participant  has  committed  any act  of  fraud,
                           embezzlement   or  theft  in   connection   with  the
                           Participant's  duties as an  Officer or in the course
                           of   employment   with   the   Company   and/or   its
                           subsidiaries; or

                      (B)  the Participant has willfully and continually  failed
                           to perform  substantially  the  Participant's  duties
                           with the Company or any of its Affiliates (other than
                           any such failure  resulting  from  incapacity  due to
                           physical or mental  illness or injury,  regardless of
                           whether such illness or injury is job-related) for an
                           appropriate  period,  which shall not be less than 30
                           days,  after  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  of  the

                           Executive Officer, the Board) has delivered a written
                           demand  for  performance  to  the  Participant   that
                           specifically identifies the manner in which the Chief
                           Executive  Officer (or the Board, as the case may be)
                           believes  the  Participant   has  not   substantially
                           performed the Participant's duties; or

                      (C)  the  Participant  has  willfully  engaged  in illegal
                           conduct or gross  misconduct  that is materially  and
                           demonstrably injurious to the Company; or

                      (D)  the   Participant   has  willfully   and   wrongfully
                           disclosed  any  trade  secret  or other  confidential
                           information of the Company or any of its  Affiliates;
                           or

                           activity;  and in any such  case the act or  omission
                           shall have been  determined by the Board to have been
                           materially   harmful   to

                           to act  on the  part  of  the  Participant  shall  be

                           to  be  done,  by the  Participant  in bad  faith  or
                           without  reasonable  belief  that  the  Participant's
                           action or  omission was in the best  interests of the
                           Company  and  (2) any act,  or failure to act,  based
                           upon authority  given  pursuant to a resolution  duly
                           adopted  by the Board or upon the instructions of the
                           Chief  Executive  Officer or a senior officer of  the
                           Company or based upon the  advice of counsel  for the
                           Company shall  be  conclusively  presumed to be done,
                           or omitted to be  done,  by the  Participant  in good
                           faith and in the best interests of the Company.

                (ii)  (A)  The  Company  terminates the Participant's employment
                           by  delivering  a   Notice  of  Termination  to   the

               DEFINITION OF "CHANGE IN CONTROL" AND RELATED TERMS

          A "Change in  Control"  shall be deemed to have  occurred if the event
set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred:

                    (i) at any time  that  either  no  shares  of Class A Common
          Stock of the Company are issued and  outstanding  or Excluded  Persons
          have ceased to beneficially  own a majority of the outstanding  shares
          of Class A Common Stock of the Company,  any Person (as defined below)
          (other than (A) the Company or any of its subsidiaries,  (B) a trustee
          or other fiduciary holding  securities under any employee benefit plan
          of  the  Company  or  any of  its  subsidiaries,  (C)  an  underwriter
          temporarily  holding  securities  pursuant  to  an  offering  of  such

          defined  below)  ("Excluded  Persons")) is or becomes the  "Beneficial
          Owner" (as such term is defined  in Rule  13d-3  under the  Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act")), directly or indirectly,
          of  securities  of  the  Company  (not  including  in  the  securities
          beneficially  owned by such Person any  securities  acquired  directly
          from the Company or its  Affiliates  (as defined  below) after January

          by the Board or nomination for election by the Company's  shareholders
          was approved by a vote of at least  two-thirds  (2/3) of the directors
          then still in office who either were  directors on January 31, 2000 or
          whose appointment,  election or nomination for election was previously
          so approved; or

                    (iii)  the  shareholders  of the  Company  approve a merger,
          consolidation  or  share  exchange  of  the  Company  with  any  other
          corporation  or  approve  the  issuance  of voting  securities  of the
          Company in connection with a merger,  consolidation  or share exchange
          of the Company (or any direct or indirect  subsidiary  of the Company)
          pursuant to applicable stock exchange  requirements,  other than (A) a
          merger,  consolidation  or share  exchange  that  would  result in the

          merger,  consolidation  or  share  exchange  continuing  to  represent
          (either by remaining  outstanding  or by being  converted  into voting
          securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) at least 50%
          of the combined  voting power of the voting  securities of the Company
          or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately
          after such  merger,



Final - January 12, 2000                                                      18

          consolidation or share exchange, (B) a merger,  consolidation or share
          exchange effected to implement a  recapitalization  of the Company (or
          similar  transaction)  in  which no  Person  (other  than an  Excluded
          Person) is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of
          securities   of  the  Company  (not   including   in  the   securities
          beneficially  owned by such Person any  securities  acquired  directly
          from the Company or its Affiliates after January 31, 2000, pursuant to
          express  authorization  by the Board  that  refers to this  exception)
          representing  25% or more  of (1) the  combined  voting  power  of the
          Company's  then  outstanding   voting   securities  or  (2)  the  then
          outstanding  shares of common  stock of the  Company  or (C) a merger,
          consolidation   or   share   exchange   immediately    following   the
          effectiveness  of which  shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company
          will remain issued and outstanding and Excluded  Persons will continue
          to beneficially  own a majority of the  outstanding  shares of Class A
          Common Stock of the Company; or

                    (iv)  the  shareholders  of the  Company  approve  a plan of
          complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an agreement for
          the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially  all of
          the  Company's  assets  (in one  transaction  or a series  of  related
          transactions within any period of 24 consecutive months), other than a
          sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially  all of the
          Company's  assets to an entity  at least  75% of the  combined  voting
          power of the  voting  securities  of which  are  owned by  Persons  in
          substantially  the same  proportions as their ownership of the Company
          immediately prior to such sale.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing,  no "Change in Control" shall be deemed
to have occurred if there is consummated any transaction or series of integrated
transactions  immediately following which the record holders of the common stock
of the Company  immediately  prior to such transaction or series of transactions
continue to have  substantially  the same  proportionate  ownership in an entity
that owns all or  substantially  all of the  assets of the  Company  immediately
following such transaction or series of transactions.

          For  purposes of this Exhibit B, the term  "Affiliate"  shall have the
meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations
of the Act.

lawfully  transferred or may lawfully transfer shares of Class A Common Stock of
the Company  pursuant to the  provisions of the Stock Purchase  Agreement  dated
April 26th, 1996, by and among the Company and the Moslings,  as the same may be
amended from time to time; and (iv) any trustee, guardian, custodian,  executor,
administrator, fiduciary or other legal representative of the Persons identified
in clauses (i),  (ii) and (iii) above or the estates of the  Moslings,  in their
capacity as such.

          For  purposes  of this  Exhibit  B, the term  "Person"  shall have the
meaning  given in Section  3(a)(9) of the Act, as modified  and used in Sections
13(d) and 14(d) thereof.
