NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------
JANUARY 31, 1996
(Amounts in thousands unless indicated.)


(a) Basis of Presentation
   ---------------------
   In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary
   for the fair presentation of the results of operations
   for the three months ended January 31, 1996 and 1995,
   cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 1996
   and 1995, and financial position at January 31, 1996
   have been made. All adjustments made are of a normal
   recurring nature. See notes (b), (c), and (g) for
   discussions regarding acquisitions, divestiture of
   discontinued operations and the fiscal 1995
   extraordinary loss on retirement of debt. 

   These financial statements should be read in
   conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
   thereto included in the Company's 1995 Current Report
   on Form 8-K filed December 8, 1995, which is
   incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual
   Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31,
   1995.

   The results of operations for any interim period are
   not necessarily indicative of the results to be
   expected for the full year.

(b) Acquisitions
   --------------
   In early fiscal 1996, the Company completed the
   acquisition of Dobson Park Industries plc ("Dobson")
   for a purchase price of approximately 
   $330 million including acquisition costs.The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction
with the purchase price allocated to specific assets
acquired and liabilities assumed.  This allocation was
based on preliminary estimates and may be revised at a
later date. Resultant goodwill is being amortized over 40
years.

   The following unaudited pro forma results of operations
   give effect to the acquisition of Dobson as if it had
   occurred on November 1, 1994:

   The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily
   indicative either of results of operations that would
   have occurred had the purchase been made on November 1,
   1994, or of future results of operations of the combined companies.
   
   Dobson, headquartered in the United Kingdom, is an
   industrial engineering group with interests in
   underground mining equipment, industrial electronic
   control systems, toys and plastics.  Longwall
   International ("Longwall"), one of the main
   subsidiaries of Dobson, is engaged in the manufacture,
   sale and service of underground mining equipment for
   the international coal mining industry.  Its products
   include electronically controlled roof support systems,
   armored face conveyors, pumps and belt conveyor 
<PAGE> 7

   components and systems.  Longwall's operations are
   being fully integrated into Joy Mining Machinery,
   enabling Joy Technologies Inc. ("JOY") to offer 
   integrated underground longwall mining systems to the
   worldwide mining industry.  Longwall's operating
   results for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 are
   included in the January 31, 1996 consolidated statement
   of income. 

   The industrial electronic and toys/plastics businesses
   are held for sale and are separately classified as such
   on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  These businesses
   have been valued at $100.0 million and are expected to
   be sold within one year.  This estimate is based on
   recent valuations and considers expected cash flow
   during the disposal period.              

   On January 29, 1996, the Company and its Beloit
Corporation subsidiary announced that they had entered into
a letter of intent with Ingersoll-Rand Company to purchase
the assets of the Pulp Machinery Division of Ingersoll-Rand. 
 The purchase is expected to be consummated by March
31, 1996 subject to regulatory approval.
   
   On November 29, 1994, the Company completed the
   acquisition of JOY through a stock-for-stock merger
   following approval of the merger by shareholders of
   each company.  Under the terms of the acquisition,
   accounted for as a pooling of interests, the Company
   exchanged 17,720,750 shares of Company common stock for
   all of JOY's 31,353,000 outstanding shares of common
   stock at an exchange ratio of .5652 of a share of the
   Company's common stock for each share of JOY common
   stock.

   JOY's Mining Group is a leader in the worldwide
   development, manufacture, distribution and servicing of
   underground mining equipment for the extraction of coal
   and other bedded materials. 

   Effective November 1, 1994, the fiscal year of JOY was
   conformed to the Company's fiscal year. 
   
   Transaction costs related to the JOY merger of $17,459
   ($11,384 net of tax or $0.24 per share) were charged to
   income during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.
   
(c) Divestitures and Discontinued Operations
   -----------------------------------------
   In December 1995, the Company completed the sale of 
   substantially all of the assets of Joy Environmental
   Technologies, Inc. to Babcock and Wilcox, an operating
   unit of McDermott International, for $11,651.  The loss
   on sale, net of applicable income taxes, was recorded
   in fiscal 1995.
  
    On February 16, 1995, the Company completed the sale of
   Syscon Corporation (the remaining unit of the Systems
   Group) to Logicon, Inc. for a cash price of $45,000. 
   In connection with this sale, the Company recorded a
   loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of
   applicable income taxes, in the first quarter of fiscal
   1995.

   The 7 1/4% debentures were issued on December 19, 1995
   at 99.153% in connection with the Company's acquisition
   of Dobson.  The debentures will mature on December 15,
   2025 and are not redeemable prior to maturity nor
   subject to any sinking fund requirements.  Interest on
   the debentures is payable semi-annually on June 15 and
   December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 1996. 

   In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, as a result of the
   repayment of the JOY Bank Facility $(90,785) and the
   partial redemption of the 10 1/4% Senior Notes
   $(11,620), the Company recorded an extraordinary loss
   on debt retirement, net of applicable income taxes, of
   $(3,481) or $(0.08) per share consisting primarily of
   unamortized financing costs and redemption premiums.

<PAGE> 9
   In November, 1993, the Company entered into a four-year
   Revolving Credit Facility Agreement between the Company
   and certain domestic and foreign financial institutions 

   that allowed for borrowing of up to $150,000 at rates
   expressed in relation to LIBOR and other rates.  In
   November, 1994, the facility was increased to $240,000
   and was extended to November, 1998.  In December, 1995,
   the Agreement was amended to provide for an expiration
   date of November, 2000.  A facility fee is payable on
   the Revolving Credit Facility.  At January 31,1996,
   there were no direct outstanding borrowings related to
   the Revolving Credit Facility.  However, commercial
   paper is considered a utilization of the Facility.  As
   of January 31, 1996, the Company has commercial paper
   borrowings of $82,174.

(h) Contingent Liabilities
   ----------------------
   At January 31, 1996, the Company was contingently
   liable to banks, financial institutions, and others for
   approximately $191,000 for outstanding letters of
   credit securing performance of sales contracts and
   other guarantees in the ordinary course of business.
   The Company may also guarantee performance of its
   equipment at levels specified in sales contracts
   without the requirement for letters of credit.
   Performance guarantees are a normal part of the
   Company's business and have not resulted in significant
   cash outlays.

   In addition, in accordance with the terms of the
   agreement between the Company and H-K Systems, Inc.,
   formerly Harnischfeger Engineers, Inc, the Company has
   made available a back-up bonding guarantee facility for
   certain bid, performance and other contract bonds
   issued by H-K Systems, Inc. The amount of guarantees
   outstanding cannot exceed $70,000 during fiscal 1996,
   with the maximum amount decreasing to zero by November,
   1998. Outstanding contract bonds under the guarantee
   arrangement totaled approximately $49,930 at January
   31, 1996; H-K Systems, Inc. typically requires similar
   bonds from its major subcontractors. Such guarantees
   have been part of H-K Systems' business in the past and
   have not resulted in significant cash outlays. The
   back-up facility may not be used for new types of
   business or for projects outside of North America, nor
   does it permit exposure to consequential damages on
   commercial contracts.

   The Company is a party to litigation matters, claims
   and performance guarantees which are normal in the
   course of its operations and, while the results of
   litigation, claims and guarantees cannot be predicted
   with certainty, management believes that the final
   outcome of such matters will not have a materially
   adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
   position or results of operations.

   The Company is also involved in a number of proceedings
   and potential proceedings relating to environmental
   matters. Although it is difficult to estimate the
   potential exposure to the Company related to these
   environmental matters, the Company believes that these
   matters will not have a materially adverse effect on
   its consolidated financial position or results of
   operations.

(i) Patent Infringement Jury Award
   ------------------------------
   On November 23, 1994, a Federal court jury in Madison,
   Wisconsin returned a verdict finding Valmet Corporation
   of Finland guilty of infringing a key patent held by
   Beloit Corporation on the Bel-Champ(R) paper machine
   drying technology.  In connection with this suit, the
   jury awarded Beloit $7,875 in damages.  The verdict in
   this case has been appealed by Valmet and the award has
   not been recorded in the Company's financial
   statements.

(j) Sale of Measurex Stock
   ----------------------
   On December 29, 1994, Measurex Corporation ("Measurex")
   repurchased 2,026,900 shares of its stock which had
   been purchased by the Company.  The transaction reduced
   the Company's interest in Measurex from 20% to 10%.  

<PAGE>10

   The Company recorded a gain in Other Income in the
   first quarter of fiscal 1995 in connection with the
   sale of Measurex shares.  On June 23, 1995, Measurex
   repurchased the remaining 1,613,100 shares of its 

   stock.  These transactions resulted in a combined gain
   of $29,657 in fiscal 1995.  Measurex continues to have 
   cooperative agreements with the Company's Beloit
   Corporation subsidiary.

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

    THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996 AND 1995
        --------------------------------------------
      (Amounts in thousands unless indicated)

Net income  for the three months ended January 31, 1996
amounted to $23,191, or $0.50 per share as compared to a net
loss of $(22,922), or $(0.50) per share, for the three months
ended January 31, 1995. Income from continuing operations in
the first quarter of 1996 improved to $23,191, or $0.50 per
share as compared to $3,193, or $0.07 per share after JOY
merger costs for the comparable period in 1995. 

Net results for the first quarter ended January 31, 1995,
were reduced by charges of $(21,948), or $(0.48) per share,
and $(686), or $(0.01) per share, for losses from
discontinued operations (Syscon and Joy Environmental
Technologies, Inc, respectively).  Also recorded was a charge
of $(3,481), or $(0.08) per share, for the extraordinary loss
on retirement of debt related to repayment of the JOY Bank
Facility and some JOY 10 1/4% Senior Notes.

Per share calculations for the first three months of 1996 and
1995 were based on 46,795 and 45,692 average shares
outstanding, respectively.

Significant factors contributing to the $19,998 increase in
income from continuing operations for the first three months
of 1996 as compared to 1995 included:  (1) a $19,038 increase
in operating income in 1996 over 1995 as described in the
Segment Information section which follows, (2) JOY merger 
- -------------------
costs of $17,459 in fiscal 1995, offset by (3) a $1,745
increase in interest expense in 1996 resulting from
additional debt incurred from the Dobson acquisition, (4) a
$12,525 increase in income taxes in 1996 primarily due to
higher pre-tax income and (5) a $2,229 increase in minority
interest in 1996 due to higher after-tax results of certain
operations owned in part by other entities. 

In December, 1995, the Company completed the sale of

Segment Information - Continuing Operations
- -------------------------------------------
Net sales of the Mining Equipment segment amounted to
$314,976 and $199,082 for the first three months of 1996 and
1995, respectively, representing a 58% increase in 1996 as
compared to 1995.  The sales increase is primarily due to the
addition of Longwall and to increases in both original
equipment and aftermarket activity for both the surface
mining and underground mining operations.  Operating profit
increased to $35,382 in the first quarter of 1996 as compared
to $22,669 in 1995.  The increase in operating profit is
primarily due to the addition of Longwall and strong surface
mining results.  Bookings for the first three months of 1996
amounted to $291,052 as compared to $201,292 for the same
period in 1995. 

The Papermaking Machinery and Systems segment contributed
sales and operating profit of $252,353 and $18,562,
respectively, for the first three months of 1996, as compared
to net sales of $202,332 and operating profit of $12,835 for
the corresponding period in 1995.  Sales increased 25% in
1996 over 1995 primarily due to an increase in sales of
original equipment and rebuilds.  Operating profit reflected
stronger gross margins due to stronger sales, improved
margins and reduced manufacturing variances, in addition to
other income from a patent litigation settlement.  Income in
1995 included a gain recognized in connection with the sale
of Measurex shares.  Bookings for the first three months of
1996 amounted to $261,373 as compared to $246,655 for the
same period in 1995.     

The Material Handling segment contributed sales and operating
profit of $65,355 and $4,332, respectively, for the first
three months of 1996, as compared to sales of $47,955 and
operating profit of $3,322 for the comparable period in 1995. 
Sales increased primarily due to an increase in original
equipment sales.  Operating profit increased as a result of
increased sales.  Bookings for the first three months of 1996
and 1995 amounted to $81,483 and $49,489, respectively. 
     
Income Taxes
- ------------
The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate for
continuing operations for the first three months of 1996 was
36% compared to a 35% federal statutory tax rate.  The
principal reason for the difference between the effective
rate and the statutory rate is nondeductible goodwill
partially offset by the availability of tax credits. 

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
- -------------------------------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No.
112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (SFAS
112) which was implemented by the Company in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995.  The impact upon adoption of SFAS 112
on the Company's results of operations and financial position
was not material.

</TABLE>

The increase in debt, both short-term notes payable and long-
<PAGE> 14

term obligations, was attributable to debt associated with
the acquisition of Dobson Park.


Cash Flow from Operating Activities  
- -----------------------------------
Cash flow used by operating activities was $61,603 for the
three months ended January 31, 1996 compared to cash flow
used by operating activities of $19,740 for the comparable
period in 1995. The decrease in cash flows between periods is
primarily the result of an increase in accounts receivable
due to increased sales, an increase in inventory and a
decrease in trade accounts payable.

Net working capital, exclusive of businesses held for sale,
decreased $212,246 during the three months ended January 31,
1996 due to increases in short-term notes payable and advance
payments and a decline in cash and cash equivalents,
partially offset by an increase in inventories and accounts
receivable.  The increase in short-term notes payable and
decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulted from the
acquisition of Dobson Park plc.

Cash Flow from Investment Activities
- ------------------------------------
Cash flow applied to investment activities was $331,263 for
the three months ended January 31, 1996 compared to cash flow
provided by investment activities of $29,598 for the
comparable period in 1995.  The change is primarily due to
the $330,000 acquisition of Dobson Park plc in early fiscal
1996. Fiscal 1995 cash flows from investing activities
includes $43,578 from the December 29, 1994 Measurex
Corporation repurchase of approximately 2,000 shares of its
stock from the Company. 

Cash Flow for Financing Activities
- ----------------------------------
The $231,155 cash provided by financing activities in the
first quarter of 1996 was due primarily to the issuance of 7
1/4%, $150,000 debentures and an $81,431 increase in short-term notes 
payable in connection with the acquisition of
Dobson Park plc.  

Financing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 1996
included a use of cash for the $95,458 payment for redemption
of JOY's remaining Bank Facility and partial redemption of
JOY's 10 1/4% Senior Notes offset by an increase of $34,487
in short-term notes payable.   As a result of the redemptions
of the Bank Facility and Senior Notes, the Company recorded
an extraordinary loss on debt retirement, net of applicable
income taxes, of $(3,481), or $(0.08) per share, in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995, consisting primarily of unamortized
financing costs and redemption premiums.  

The Statement of Cash Flows for the three month period ending
January 31, 1996 has been adjusted to reflect the $23,706 use
of cash by JOY from the period February 26, 1994 to November
1, 1994.

The Company maintains the ability to expand its borrowing in
several ways, including the following:

(1)     A five-year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement between
        the Company and certain domestic and foreign financial
        institutions that allows for  borrowing of up to
        $240,000 at rates expressed in relation to LIBOR and
        other rates.  At January 31, 1996, there were no direct
        outstanding borrowings related to the Revolving Credit
        Facility.  However, commercial paper is considered a
        utilization of the Facility.  As of January 31, 1996,
        the Company has commercial paper borrowings of $82,174.

(2)     Short-term bank credit lines of foreign subsidiaries of
        approximately $163,700 of which approximately $45,204
        was outstanding at January 31, 1996.

The Company believes its available cash, cash flow provided
by operating activities and committed credit lines provide
adequate liquidity on both a short- and long-term basis.  

The Company has no significant capital commitments as of
January 31, 1996; any future capital commitments are expected
to be funded through cash flow from operations and, if 

<PAGE> 15
necessary, available lines of credit; however, see discussion
below regarding acquisitions.

The Company intends to continue to expand its businesses, 
both internally and through acquisitions. It is expected that
new acquisitions would be financed primarily by internally-generated
funds or additional borrowings.

Acquisitions
- ------------
In early fiscal 1996, the Company completed the acquisition
of Dobson for a purchase price of approximately $330,000
including acquisition costs.  The acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase transaction with the purchase price
allocated to specific assets acquired and liabilities
assumed.  Resultant goodwill is being amortized over 40
years.

Dobson, headquartered in the United Kingdom, is an industrial
engineering group with interests in underground mining
equipment, industrial electronic control systems, toys and
plastics.  Longwall International, one of the main
subsidiaries of Dobson, is engaged in the manufacture, sale
and service of underground mining equipment for the
international coal mining industry.  Its products include
electronically controlled roof support systems, armored face
conveyors, pumps and belt conveyor components and systems. 
Longwall's operations are being fully integrated into Joy
Mining Machinery, enabling JOY to offer integrated
underground longwall mining systems to the worldwide mining
industry. Longwall's operating results were included in the
consolidated statement of income in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996. 

The industrial electronic and toys/plastics businesses are
held for sale and are separately classified as such on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.  These businesses have been
valued at $100,000 and are expected to be sold within one
year.  This estimate is based on recent valuations and
expected operating results during the disposal period.

On January 29, 1996, the Company and its Beloit Corporation
subsidiary announced that they had entered into a letter of
intent with Ingersoll-Rand Company to purchase the assets of
the Pulp Machinery Division of Ingersoll-Rand.  The purchase
is expected to be consummated by March 31, 1996 subject to
regulatory approvals.

On November 29, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition
of JOY through a stock-for-stock merger following approval of
the merger by shareholders of each company.  Under the terms
of the acquisition, accounted for as a pooling of interests,
the Company exchanged 17,720,750 shares of Company common
stock for all of JOY's 31,353,000 outstanding shares of
common stock, at an exchange ratio of .5652 of a share of the
Company's common stock for each share of JOY common stock.

Effective November 1, 1994, the fiscal year of JOY was
conformed to the Company's fiscal year.  

Transaction costs related to the merger of $17,459 ($11,384
net of tax or $0.24 per share) were charged to income during
the first quarter of fiscal 1995.


Sale of Measurex Stock
- ----------------------
On December 29, 1994, Measurex Corporation repurchased
2,026,900 shares of its stock which had been purchased by the
Company.  The transaction reduced the Company's interest in
Measurex from 20% to 10%.  The Company recorded a gain in
Other Income in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 in
connection with the sale of Measurex shares.  On June 23,
1995, Measurex repurchased the remaining 1,613,100 shares of
its stock.  These transactions resulted in a combined gain of
$29,657 in fiscal 1995.  Measurex continues to have
cooperative agreements with the Company's Beloit Corporation
subsidiary.

          2.1  Continuation of Trust. 
               ---------------------
               (a)  The Company hereby contributes to
          the Trust, and the Trustee hereby acknowledges
          receipt of, the Contribution set forth in
          paragraph 2.2(a) hereof, which, together with
          any future Contributions, shall be added to the
          principal of the Trust, to be held,
          administered and disposed of by the Trustee in
          accordance with this Trust Agreement.

               (b)  The Trust shall be irrevocable.

               (c)  The Trust is intended to be a
          grantor trust of which the Company is the
          grantor, within the meaning of Section 671 of
          the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
          (the "Code"), and an unfunded arrangement that
          does not affect the status of the Plans as
          unfunded plans maintained for the purpose of
          providing deferred compensation for select
          management and highly compensated employees for
          purposes of Title I of ERISA, and shall be
          construed accordingly.  The Trust is not
          designed or intended to qualify under Section
          401(a) of the Code.

               (d)  The principal of the Trust and any
          earnings thereon and other 

<PAGE> 5
          increases thereof shall be held separate and
          apart from other funds of the Company and shall
          be used exclusively for the uses and purposes
          herein set forth.  Such principal, increased by
          any earnings thereon and other increases
          thereof and reduced by any losses and
          distributions from the Trust and any other
          reductions thereof, is sometimes referred to
          herein as the "Trust Assets".  The Participants
          shall not have any preferred claim on, nor any
          beneficial ownership interest in, any of the
          Trust Assets before the Trust Assets are paid
          to the Participants pursuant to the terms of
          this Trust Agreement, and all rights created
          under the Plans and this Trust Agreement shall
          be mere unsecured contractual rights of the
          Participants against the Company.  The Trust
          Assets shall at all times be subject to the
          claims of the Company's general creditors under
          federal and state law in accordance with
          paragraph 5.4.

          2.2   Funding. The Company shall initially and 
                   -------
subsequently transfer assets to the Trustee as follows.

               (a)  Simultaneously with the execution
          and delivery of this Trust Agreement, the
          Company shall transfer to the Trustee cash in
          the amount of $1,000.00.

               (b)  The Company shall make additional
          Contributions to the Trust in accordance 
          paragraphs 2.2(e) and 5.4 of this Trust
          Agreement, and such other Contributions as the
          Committee deems appropriate from time to time. 
          The Trustee shall be responsible only for
          Contributions  actually received by it
          hereunder, and the Trustee shall have no duty
          or responsibility with respect to the timing,
          amounts and sufficiency of the Contributions
          made or to be made by the Company hereunder.

               (c)  The Company shall have the duty to
          inform the Trustee and the Committee whenever a
          Change in Control occurs.  If any two
          Participants notify the Trustee that a Change
          in Control has occurred, the Trustee shall so
          notify the Company and the Committee and,
          unless within five business days thereafter the
          Company delivers to the Trustee and the
          Committee an opinion of independent counsel to
          the Company (which opinion may be based upon
          representations of fact, as long as counsel
          does not know that such representations are
          untrue) that a Change in Control has not
          occurred, then a Change in Control will be
          deemed to have occurred, and the Trustee and
          the Committee will be deemed to have received
          notice on such fifth business day that a Change
          in Control has occurred.

               (d)  The Trustee shall determine, and
          shall give the Committee notice of ,  the
          "Trust Asset Value" (as defined below) and the
          Committee shall determine, and give the Company
          and the Trustee notice of,  the "Required
          Assets" (as defined below) as soon as
          practicable, but in any event within ten
          business days, after (i) the date they receive
          notice that a Change in Control has occurred,
          and (ii) the end of each calendar quarter
          thereafter.  The "Trust Asset 
<PAGE> 6
          Value" means the aggregate net fair market
          value of the Trust Assets as of the date of the
          Change in Control or the end of the calendar
          quarter, as the case may be (such date, the
          "Measurement Date").  The "Required Assets"
          means the present value, as of the Measurement
          Date, of the sum of (x) the maximum aggregate
          amount that could become payable to the
          Participants under the Plans, and (y) an
          estimate of the expenses reasonably likely to
          be incurred by the Trust from the Measurement
          Date through the termination of the Trust,
          including without limitation the Trustee's
          fees.  In determining present value, the
          Committee shall use as a discount rate the
          applicable federal rate (as defined in Section
          1274(d) of the Code) in effect on the
          Measurement Date (the "Applicable Federal
          Rate"), or such lower amount as it shall in its
          discretion determine.

               (e)  The Company shall contribute to the
          Trust, in cash, the excess (if any) of the
          Required Assets over the Trust Asset Value as
          of any Measurement Date plus interest at the
          Applicable Federal Rate from the Measurement
          Date through the date of contribution, within
          three business days after receiving notice
          thereof.

     2.3. Acceptance.  The Trustee accepts the duties and 
            ----------
obligations of the Trustee hereunder.

     2.4  No Effect on Company's Plan Obligations.  
            ---------------------------------------
Neither the establishing nor maintenance of the Trust, nor
the Company's transfer of any assets to the Trustee, shall
affect in any way the Participants' benefits under the
Plans or the Company's obligations to pay such benefits,
provided that any payments made hereunder shall be
considered payments under the applicable Plan.

     3.1  Plan and Trust Accounts.
          -----------------------
               (a)  The Committee shall maintain such
          separate Accounts for each Participant with
          respect to his benefits payable and paid under
          each Plan as it considers necessary or
          desirable for the proper administration of the
          Plans.  Subject to the provisions of paragraph
          3.1(c), the Trustee shall not make any separate
          investments for each Participant or Plan but
          rather shall invest all assets hereunder as a
          single Trust Fund to provide any Plan benefits
          to be paid by the Trustee hereunder.

               (b)  The Trustee shall keep accurate and
          detailed records of all investments, receipts,
          disbursements, and all other transactions
          required to be done, including such specific
          records as shall be agreed upon in writing
          between 
<PAGE> 7
          the Committee and the Trustee.  Within sixty
          days following the close of each calendar year
          and within sixty days after the removal or
          resignation of the Trustee, the Trustee shall
          deliver to the Committee a written statement of 
          its administration of the Trust during such
          year or during the period from the close of the
          last preceding year to the date of such removal
          or resignation, setting forth all investments,
          receipts, disbursements and other transactions
          effected by it, including a description of all
          securities and investments purchased and sold
          with the cost or net proceeds of such purchases
          or sales (accrued interest paid or receivable
          being shown separately), showing all cash,
          securities and other property held in the Trust
          at the end of such year or as of the date of
          such removal or resignation, as the case may
          be, and the book and fair market value of any
          such asset.

               (c)  Upon receiving notice of a Change
          in Control, the Committee shall instruct the
          Trustee to, and the Trustee shall, establish a
          separate account for each Participant (a "Trust
          Account"), representing the portion of the
          Trust Assets allocable to amounts that may be
          payable to that Participant under the Plans. 
          All Contributions made after the Change in
          Control, and all earnings on and increases to
          the Trust Assets, shall be allocated among the
          Trust Accounts as directed by the Committee. 
          Within sixty days after the end of each
          calendar year following a Change in Control,
          the Trustee shall provide the Company and the
          Committee with a written statement of the Trust
          Account of each Participant, and the Committee
          shall deliver a copy of that statement to each
          Participant.

               (d)  The Company shall promptly provide
          the Committee with any and all information the
          Committee reasonably requests or the Company
          believes would be useful to the Committee in
          carrying out its duties hereunder, and shall
          promptly update such information as and if it
          changes.  The Company shall also use its best
          efforts to cause each Participant to provide
          the Committee with all information that it may
          reasonably request in order to determine the
          amount of any payments due to the Participant
          under the Plans.

               (e)  The accounts, books and records
          maintained pursuant to this paragraph 3.1 shall
          be open to inspection and audit at all
          reasonable times by the Company, the Committee
          and the Participants.

     4.1  Investments.  The Trustee shall invest the

Trust Assets in Permitted Investments as directed by the
Committee from time to time.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee shall continue to invest in and hold
Company Shares which have been contributed to the Trust

by the Company until such time as the Trustee is directed
by the Committee to distribute or otherwise dispose of such
Company Shares.  All dividends or other distributions
received by the Trustee with respect to Company Shares
shall be reinvested by the Trustee in Company Shares unless
otherwise directed by the Committee.

          4.2   Exercise of Trustee's Duties.  The 
                   ----------------------------
Trustee shall discharge its duties hereunder in the
interest of the Participants and their Beneficiaries, and
with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in
a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in
the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with
like aims.

          4.3   General Powers.  Subject to the express 
                  ---------------
limitations and directions contained elsewhere in this
Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall have the following
powers, rights and duties in addition to those provided
elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or by law:

               (a)  to receive and hold all
          Contributions made to it by the Company;

          no right or duty to require any such
          Contributions to be made;

               (b)  to vote Company Shares personally
          or by proxy in accordance with the directions
          of the Committee;

               (c)  to purchase, hold, manage, sell,
          exchange, invest, reinvest and otherwise deal
          with the Trust Assets and any property forming
          part of the Trust Assets, together with the
          income therefrom, in such manner, for such
          consideration and on such terms and conditions
          as directed by the Committee;

               (d)  to retain in cash (pending
          investment, reinvestment or distribution) any
          reasonable portion of the Trust Assets and to
          deposit cash in any depository (including
          without limitation the depository department of
          the Trustee if the Trustee is a bank or trust
          company);

               (e)  to compromise, contest, arbitrate,
          settle or abandon claims and demands relating
          to the Trust Assets;

               (f)  to begin, maintain or defend any
          litigation necessary in connection with the
          administration of the Trust, and the Company
          shall indemnify the Trustee against all
          expenses and liabilities sustained or
          anticipated by it by reason thereof;

               (g)  to hold securities or other
          property in the name of the Trustee or any
          nominee or nominees of the Trustee, or in such
          other form as the Trustee shall determine, with
          or without disclosing the Trust relationship,
          provided that the records of the Trustee shall
          indicate the actual ownership of such
          securities
<PAGE> 9  
          or other property;

               (h)  to deposit securities with a
          corporate depository, in which event the
          certificates representing securities, including
          those in bearer form, may be held in bulk form
          with, and may be merged into, certificates of
          the same class of the same issuer which
          constitute assets of other accounts or owners,
          without certification as to the ownership
          attached; provided that the Trustee shall at
          all times maintain a separate and distinct
          record of the securities owned by
          the Trust;

               (i)  to participate in and use a book-entry system for the

               (j)  to retain any funds or property
          subject to any dispute without liability for
          the payment of interest, or to decline to make
          payment or delivery thereof until final
          adjudication is made by a court of competent
          jurisdiction;

               (k)  to employ agents, counsel,
          financial advisors,  accountants or other
          persons for such purposes as the Trustee
          considers desirable;

               (l)  to furnish the Company with such
          information in the Trustee's possession as the
          Company may need for tax or other purposes; and

               (m)  to perform any and all other acts
          which are, in the Trustee's judgment, necessary
          or appropriate for the proper maintenance and
          administration of the Trust Assets as though
          the absolute owner thereof, and to exercise all
          the further rights, powers, options and
          privileges granted, provided or vested in
          trustees generally under applicable federal or
          state law, it being intended that, except as
          herein otherwise provided, the powers conferred
          upon the Trustee herein shall not be construed
          as being in limitation of any authority
          conferred by law, but shall be construed as in
          addition thereto;

provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held as a
Trust Asset, the Trustee shall have no power to name as
beneficiary of that policy any person other than the Trust,
nor to assign the policy (as distinct from converting it to
a different form) to a person other than a successor
Trustee, nor to loan to any person other than the Trust the
proceeds of any borrowing against such policy; provided,
further, that notwithstanding any powers granted to the
Trustee under this Trust Agreement or applicable law, the
Trustee shall not have any power that could give this Trust
the objective of carrying on a business and dividing the
gains therefrom, within the meaning of Section 301.7701-2
of the Procedure and Administrative Regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code.

          4.4   Reliance Upon Written Communications.  
                   ------------------------------------
The Committee shall provide the Trustee with a written
certification identifying the person or persons authorized
to give 

<PAGE> 10
instructions or directions on its behalf, and such
certification shall be effective until a written revocation
is filed with the Trustee.  The Trustee may rely upon any
written communication by such persons with respect to any
instruction or direction of the Committee and may continue
to rely upon such written communication until a subsequent
written communication is filed with the Trustee.  The
Trustee may act upon any instrument, written communication
or paper believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to be
signed or presented by the proper person or persons, and
the Trustee shall be under no duty to make any
investigation or inquiry as to any statement contained in
any such writing, but may accept the same as conclusive
evidence of the truth and accuracy of the statements
therein contained.  In the event that any dispute shall
arise as to any act to be performed by the Trustee, the
Trustee may postpone performance until adjudication of such
dispute in a court of competent jurisdiction or until it
shall have been indemnified against loss to its
satisfaction.

     5.1  Payments to Participants
            ------------------------
               (a)  The names, addresses, Beneficiary
          designations, benefits commencement dates and
          Accounts of the Participants as of the date
          hereof (the "Payment Schedule") are set forth
          on Schedule II hereto.  Schedule II shall be
          amended as frequently as necessary to ensure
          that it is accurate and complete at all times. 
          Before a Change in Control, all necessary
          amendments shall be made by the Company, and
          after a Change in Control, they shall be made
          by the Committee.

               (b)  The Company may make payments
          pursuant to the Payment Schedule directly to
          Participants.  The Company shall notify the
          Trustee of its intention to make any such
          direct payment at least ten business days
          before the date such payment is due.  If the
          Trustee does not receive such notice with
          respect to any payment, or if at any time
          following a Change in Control it receives a
          notice from a Participant certifying that the
          Company has failed to make a payment when due,
          the Trustee shall promptly make such payment in
          accordance with the Payment Schedule.

               (c)  When the Trustee is required by
          paragraph (b) above to make a payment in the
          form of property other than Company Shares or
          cash, the Trustee shall, if necessary, acquire
          such property from the Company or other sources
          for fair market value in order to make such
          payment.  If the Trustee cannot acquire such
          property, the Trustee shall promptly so notify
          the Company and the Participant, and unless the
          Participant directs otherwise, the Company
          shall make such payment.  If the Participant
          gives the Trustee notice directing the Trustee
          to pay the Participant in cash rather than in
          the form of such property, the Trustee 

<PAGE> 11
          shall so notify the Company and shall pay the
          Participant an amount of cash equal to the fair
          market value (determined by the Trustee in its
          sole discretion) of such property as of the
          date such payment was due.

               (d)  If the Trust Assets are
          insufficient to make any payment (including
          interest thereon under paragraph (e) below)
          that the Trustee is required to make pursuant
          to paragraphs (b) or (c) above, the Trustee
          shall promptly so notify the Company and the
          Participant, and the Company shall make such
          payment to the extent the Trust Assets are
          insufficient.

               (e)  Any payment, whether made by the
          Trustee or the Company, pursuant to paragraph
          (b), (c) or (d) above, that is made after the
          date it is due shall be accompanied by a cash
          payment of interest at 120 percent of the
          Applicable Federal Rate from the date the
          payment is due through the date it is made,
          computed on the amount of cash, plus the fair
          market value as of the date the payment is due
          of any other property, included in the payment. 
          The fair market value of the property shall be
          determined by the Trustee in its sole
          discretion.

               (f)  In making payment pursuant to this
          paragraph 5.1, the Trustee shall be entitled to
          rely on, and shall have no duty to inquire
          into, any written certification by a
          Participant that the Company has failed to make
          a payment when due.

               (g)  The Trustee and the Company shall
          promptly notify the Committee of all payments
          made pursuant to this paragraph 5.1.

          5.2   Distributions.  As provided in paragraph 
                   -------------
3.1, but subject to the provisions of this paragraph 5.2
which follow, the Committee shall certify the time, manner,
amount and recipients of any distributions to Participants
and Beneficiaries of Trust Assets.  Distributions shall be
subject to the following provisions:

               (a)  The Trustee shall have no
          responsibility to inquire as to whether a
          distributee is entitled to a distribution, or
          as to whether a distribution is proper, and
          shall have no liability for a distribution made
          in good faith without actual notice or
          knowledge that such distribution is improper.

               (b)  If any check for any distribution
          directed to be made from Trust Assets has been
          mailed by the Trustee by regular United States
          mail to the last address of the distributee
          furnished to the Trustee and is returned
          unclaimed, the Trustee shall notify the
          Committee of that fact and the Committee shall
          direct the Trustee whether to attempt the
          distribution by mail to another address.  The
          Trustee shall have no obligation to search for
          or ascertain the whereabouts of any Participant
          or Beneficiary.
<PAGE> 12
               (c)  The Trustee may reserve such
          reasonable amount from any distribution as it
          shall deem necessary to pay any estate,
          inheritance, income, withholding or other tax,
          charge or assessment attributable to such
          distribution or may require such release or
          other document from any taxing authority and
          such indemnity from the intended distributee as
          the Trustee shall deem necessary for its
          protection.

          5.3   Reversion to Company.  Subject to the 
                   --------------------
provisions of paragraphs 5.4 and 7.1, no part of the Trust
Assets shall revert to the Company or be used for, or
diverted to, purposes other than the exclusive benefit of
Participants and their Beneficiaries.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing:

               (a)  if as of the end of any calendar
          year the Company has paid any taxes described
          in paragraph 5.2(c) and the Committee so
          directs the Trustee within sixty days of the
          end of such year, the Trustee shall return to
          the Company Trust Assets in an amount equal to
          such taxes paid by the Company;

               (b)  if at any time there shall be on
          deposit with the Trustee Government Securities
          and cash (which for this purpose includes money
          market funds or certificates of deposit) which
          the Committee certifies to the Trustee to be
          sufficient, taking into account the respective
          maturities of any such Government Securities
          and assuming no reinvestment of any of the
          proceeds thereof or of any such cash, to
          provide for the payment of all amounts payable
          under the Plans in cash at the times such
          amounts are payable under the Plans plus
          Company Shares which the Committee certifies to
          the Trustee to be sufficient to provide for the
          payment of all amounts payable under the Plans
          in Company Shares, and the Committee so advises
          the Trustee, the Trustee shall, if so directed
          by the Committee, return all other Trust Assets
          to the Company; and

               (c)  if all amounts payable under the
          Plans have been fully paid and the Committee so
          advises the Trustee, the Trustee shall return
          all residual Trust Assets to the Company.

For purposes of clause (b) above, any amounts payable under
any Plan for the life of any individual shall be computed
based on the life expectancy of such individual determined
from the life expectancy tables set forth in the
regulations issued pursuant to Section 72 (or any successor
provision) of the Code.

          5.4   Claims of Creditors.  Trust Assets shall 
                   -------------------
be treated as assets of the Company and shall be subject to
the claims of the general creditors of the Company.  In the
event that any of the Trust Assets are at any time paid to
a creditor of the Company (including without limitation the
Trustee, in its capacity as such, but excluding a
Participant or a Beneficiary in his capacity as such), the
Trustee will immediately notify the Committee and the
Company will, within ten business days after receipt of
such notice, deposit equivalent assets with the Trustee as 
<PAGE> 13
additional Trust Assets.

          5.5  Notice to Trustee of Insolvency; 
               -------------------------------
Suspension of Distributions.  The Company shall be
- ---------------------------
considered "Insolvent" if (i) it is unable to pay its debts
as they mature, or (ii) an order for relief is entered
under Title 11 the United States Bankruptcy Code.  The
Committee (or if the Committee fails to act, the Board or
chief executive officer of the Company) shall immediately
notify the Trustee in writing if the Company becomes
Insolvent.  Upon receipt of any such notice and whenever
the Trustee has actual knowledge that the Company is
Insolvent, the Trustee shall immediately suspend any
further distributions from Trust Assets and shall hold the
Trust Assets for the benefit of the Company's general
creditors pending resumption of the Company's ability to
pay its debts as they mature, or the dismissal of such
proceedings or direction from the court before which such
proceedings are pending, as the case may be, or other
direction from a court of competent jurisdiction and shall
promptly notify the Participants that is is doing so.  If
the Trustee receives written notice from any other person
or entity alleging that the Company has become Insolvent,
the Trustee shall immediately notify the Committee of its
receipt of such notice and shall immediately suspend any
further distributions from Trust Assets pending the
Trustee's determination that such allegation is not correct
(and upon receipt of such notice (and at any other time or
times if so requested by the Committee) the Trustee will
promptly undertake, and complete within thirty days after
commencing such undertaking, a determination whether the
Company is in fact Insolvent).  For this purpose, the
Trustee may rely on a certification from the Company's
auditor.  In the event that such auditor declines to
provide such certification, the Trustee may rely on a
certification from any national public accounting firm.  In
making its determination, the Trustee may rely on and is
fully protected in relying on a certification from such
auditor.  During any period when payments to the
Participants are suspended under this paragraph 5.5, the
Trustee may nevertheless pay its compensation and expenses
and taxes payable by the Trust in accordance with paragraph
7.1, unless it receives a court order to the contrary.  If
the Company subsequently ceases to be Insolvent without the
entry of a court order concerning the disposition of the
Trust Assets, the Company shall give notice to the Trustee
and the Participants (i) stating that the Company is no
longer Insolvent and (ii) setting forth the extent to which
the Company has made directly to the Participants any
payments under the Payment Schedule that became due during
the period that the Trustee had suspended payments.  The
Trustee shall thereupon resume payments pursuant to Article
5, including payments that became due during the period of
suspension and were not made by the Company.

          5.6  Alienation.    The rights and benefits of 
               ----------
the Participants or Beneficiaries under this Trust
Agreement, and the payments to the Participants or
Beneficiaries from the Trust Assets, may not be
anticipated, assigned, alienated or subject to attachment,
garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable
process.  Any attempt by a Participant to anticipate,
alienate, assign, sell, transfer, pledge, encumber or
charge the same shall be void.  The Trust Assets shall not
in any manner be subject to the debts, contracts,
liabilities, engagements or torts of any Participant, and
payments hereunder shall not be considered assets of any
Participant in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy.

                    Tax Matters
                    ------------
     6.1   Nature of Trust.  This Trust Agreement is 
          ----------------
intended to constitute a grantor Trust as described under
Section 671 of the Code . Without limiting the effect of
the preceding sentence, for federal income tax purposes the
Company will include, in computing its taxable income and
credits, those items of income, deductions and credits
against tax of the Trust that are attributable to the Trust
while it is a grantor trust (to the extent that such items
could be taken into account in computing the taxable income
or credits against the tax).

          6.2  Reporting Requirements.  The Trustee 
                  ----------------------
shall withhold federal, state and local income and
employment taxes which are assessable on amounts paid by it
to a Participant or a Beneficiary at the appropriate rates
under applicable laws, or at such higher rates as may be
requested by the Participant or Beneficiary in writing to
the Trustee, and shall transmit the amounts withheld to the
Company which shall transmit the amounts withheld to the
applicable taxing authorities.  The Trustee shall furnish
to the Committee and the Participants and Beneficiaries all
withholding and benefit payment information as soon as
practicable after the end of each calendar year.  The
Committee shall provide the Trustee with all necessary
information in order for the Trustee to comply with this
paragraph 6.2.

          6.3   Taxation Prior to Receipt.  If the 
               --------------------------
Internal Revenue Service makes a determination that a
Participant or Beneficiary is subject to federal income
taxation on any amount held in the Trust in a calendar year
prior to the calendar year in which he would otherwise
receive benefits under the corresponding Plan, and if all
appeals (judicial or otherwise) of such determination
available to the Company have been exhausted or waived, the
Committee shall, at the written request of the Participant
or Beneficiary accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the
Committee of such tax treatment, notify the Trustee thereof
and direct the Trustee to distribute such amount to the
Participant or Beneficiary as soon thereafter as
practicable.

reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the
Trustee in connection with the administration of the Trust,
including such reasonable compensation of the Trustee as
may be agreed upon from time to time between the Committee
and the Trustee, shall be paid by the Company; provided
that if the Company shall fail to pay the same upon written
demand from the Trustee, the Trustee, as a creditor of the
Company, may pay the same from the Trust Assets.  To the
extent that any taxes are payable by the Trust to any
federal, state, local or foreign taxing authorities on
account of earnings on or transactions involving Trust
Assets, such taxes shall be paid by the Company and if not
so paid, shall be paid by the Trustee from Trust Assets. 
The Trustee may consult with legal counsel 

<PAGE> 15
(who may also be counsel for the Company) with respect to
any of its duties or obligations hereunder, and shall be
fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, and the Company
shall be responsible for the payment of any such expenses
and compensation.  The Trustee may hire agents, accountants
and financial consultants, and the Company shall be
responsible for the payment of their expenses and
compensation.  Such compensation, expenses and taxes shall
be paid by the Company and if not so paid, shall be paid by
the Trustee from the Trust Assets.  In the event any Trust
Assets are used pursuant to the preceding sentences to pay
compensation, expenses or taxes, the Trustee shall so
notify the Company and the Company shall promptly
contribute to the Trust the amount of such payments, plus
interest thereon at 120 percent of the Applicable Federal
Rate, from the date of such use through the date of the
contribution.

          7.2  Liability of Trustee.  The Trustee shall 
               --------------------
not be liable for any act or failure to act under this
Trust Agreement unless such action or failure to act was in
willful violation of the law.

          7.3   Indemnification. To the extent permitted 
               ----------------
by law, no Trustee (including any former Trustee) shall be
personally liable for any act done or omitted to be done in
good faith in the administration of the Trust or the
investment of the Trust Assets.  To the extent permitted by
law, each present or former Trustee shall be indemnified
and saved harmless by the Company (to the extent not
indemnified or saved harmless under any liability insurance
or other indemnification arrangement with respect to the
Plans or the Trust) from and against any and all claims of
liability to which it is subjected by reason of any act
done or omitted to be done in good faith in connection with
the administration of the Trust or the investment of the
Trust Assets, including all expenses reasonably incurred in
its defense if the Company fails to provide such defense. 
Each present or former Trustee shall be indemnified and
saved harmless by the Company from and against any and all
liability to which such Trustee shall be subjected by
reason of carrying out any directions of the Committee made
in accordance with this Trust Agreement, including all
expenses reasonably incurred in its defense if the Company
fails to provide such defense.
