(1)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The consolidated financial statements of Lunar Corporation (the
"Company") presented herein, without audit except for balance sheet
information at June 30, 1998, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q
and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles.  These statements should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June
30, 1998.

      The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1998, the
consolidated statements of income for the three months ended September 30,
1998 and 1997, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited but, in the opinion
of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim
periods.  The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior
year information to conform with the current presentation format.

      The results of operations for the three months ended September 30,
1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire fiscal year ending June 30, 1999.

(5)   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

      Effective July 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which
establishes standards to report and display comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of general purpose financial statements.  The
Company's comprehensive income was as follows:

                                            Three Months Ended September 30,
                                                     1998        1997

(6)   SETTLEMENT OF LAWSUIT

     Expenses were incurred associated with the settlement of a lawsuit
between the Company and Osteometer Meditech A/S and RapiScan Security

          Results of Operations

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

      Equipment sales and other revenue increased 22% to $22,825,000 in the
three months ended September 30, 1998 from $18,663,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 1997.  Sales by product line are summarized as follows:

                                September 30,   September 30,
                                    1998             1997
                                ------------    ------------

X-ray densitometry                $15,385         $12,856
Ultrasound densitometry             1,415           1,328
Orthopedic Imaging                  4,080           2,694
Service Revenue                     1,691           1,407
Other                                 254             378
                                  -------         -------
                                  $22,825         $18,663
                                  =======         =======


      The Company's increase in x-ray densitometry sales is attributable to
increased sales to U.S. customers.  This increase is primarily due to the
Company's new distributor agreements with McKesson General Medical and
Caligor for distribution to primary care physicians.  The increase in
Orthopedic Imaging sales for the current fiscal year is primarily due to
increased unit sales of the Artoscan dedicated MRI system.  The increase in
service revenue is primarily due to the growing installed base of
densitometers in the United States.

      Cost of sales as a percentage of equipment sales averaged approximately
54% in the three month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to 46% in the
three month period ended September 30, 1997.  The increase is primarily the
result of lower gross profit margins on sales of densitometry equipment as a
result of competitive pricing pressures and increased sales to the new U.S.
distributors which have lower gross profit margins.  In addition, overall
gross profit margins were lower due to a higher mix of orthopedic imaging
equipment which have lower gross profit margins.

      Research and development expenditures increased to $2,047,000 in the
three months ended September 30, 1998 from $1,705,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 1997.  The Company increased research and development
expenditures for ultrasound and x-ray densitometry products during the three
month period ended September 30, 1998.

      Selling and marketing expenses were $5,693,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 1998, compared to $4,625,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 1997, representing 25% as a percentage of equipment sales for
both periods. 

      General and administration expenses increased to $1,094,000 in the
three months ended September 30, 1998 from $996,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 1997.

      Interest income was $347,000 in the three months ended September 30,
1998, compared to $478,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1997.
This decrease is primarily the result of decreases in the amount of
investments and in the amount of interest from financed receivables.

      The effective tax rate averaged 29% in the three month period ended
September 30, 1998, compared to 33% in the three month period ended
September 30, 1997.  The effective tax rate is lower in the three month
period ended September 30, 1998 versus the comparable prior year period due
to an increased proportion of tax-exempt interest income and a higher benefit
of the foreign sales corporation.  The rate for the three month period ended
September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997 is below the 34% federal statutory
rate as a result of tax-exempt interest income and the benefit of the foreign
sales corporation offset by the provision for state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

      Cash and cash equivalents increased $577,000 to $5,185,000 in the three
months ended September 30, 1998. The Company has a $24,609,000 laddered
portfolio of high-grade, readily marketable municipal bonds with various
maturities not exceeding 48 months. 

      The Company's trade accounts receivable increased $6,049,000 to
$37,451,000 at September 30, 1998 from $31,402,000 at June 30, 1998.  The
increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to an increase in
receivables from Latin American customers and an increase in sales compared
to the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

      Inventories increased 11% to $14,733,000 at September 30, 1998 from
$13,288,000 at June 30, 1998.  The increase in finished goods is
attributable to increases in densitometry units and in Artoscan MRI units. 
The increase in materials and purchased parts is primarily attributable to
higher service inventories as a result of higher sales in the United States.

      The Company purchased a 25-acre parcel of land in January 1998 for
$1,949,000.  The Company began construction of an assembly, warehouse, and
office building in October 1998.  Total construction costs are projected to
be approximately $11,000,000.  The Company does not have any other pending
material commitments for capital expenditures.

      Management believes the current level of cash and short-term
investments is adequate to finance the Company's operations for the
foreseeable future.

New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------

      SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" is effective for financial statements for periods beginning
after December 15, 1997.  SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way
that public business enterprises report financial and descriptive
information about reportable operating segments in annual financial
statements and interim financial reports issued to stockholders.  The
Company is evaluating the new Statement's provision and will adopt SFAS No.
131, as required, in fiscal 1999.

      SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosure About Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits" is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 31, 1997.  SFAS No. 132 revises employers' disclosures about
pensions and other postretirement benefit plans.  The Company is evaluating
the new Statement's provisions and will adopt SFAS No. 132, as required, in
fiscal 1999.

      SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" is effective for financial statements for periods beginning
after June 15, 1999. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities.  The Company
is evaluating the new Statement's provisions.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

      Many currently installed computer systems and software products are
coded to accept only two-digit entries in the date code field.  To
distinguish 21st century from 20th century dates, these date code fields
must be able to accept four-digit entries. 

      The Company has reviewed its existing financial and other business
information systems and believes that its computer systems will be able to
manage and manipulate all material data involving the transition from 1999
to 2000 without functional or data abnormality and without inaccurate
results related to such data. During fiscal 1998, the Company replaced its
manufacturing and financial accounting software package at a cost of
approximately $230,000.  This new software package is year 2000 compliant.
The Company does not expect to incur significant additional costs to
complete its year 2000 compliance program.

      It is possible that third parties, such as suppliers and distributors,
may have noncompliant computer systems or programs, which may not interface
properly with the Company's computer systems or may otherwise result in a
disruption of the Company's operations.  The Company is requesting
assurances from third parties with which it has a material relationship
that their computers, systems, and programs be year 2000 compliant.

      The Company currently anticipates that the expenses and capital
expenditures associated with its year 2000 compliance program will not have
a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. 
Because the Company's software programs are year 2000 compliant, and the
Company does not believe any material problems will arise if a third party
is not year 2000 compliant, the Company has not developed any contingency
plan.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
          ---------------------------------------------------------

      The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates
relate primarily to the Company's investment portfolio.  The Company does
not use derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio.  The
Company places its investments with high credit quality issuers and, by
policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer.  As stated
in its policy, the Company is adverse to principal loss and ensures the
safety and preservation of its invested funds by limiting default risk,
market risk, and reinvestment risk.  The Company mitigates default risk by
investing in only high credit quality securities.  The portfolio includes
only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure
portfolio liquidity.  All investments mature, by policy, in 48 months or less.

      The Company uses forward currency contracts in its management of
foreign currency exposures.  The contracts are in German Deutsche Marks and
generally have maturities that do not exceed three months.  Realized gains
and losses on such contracts are included in other income at the time the
hedged transaction occurs. There were no deferred gains or losses at
September 30, 1998.  These contracts are entered into with major financial
institutions thereby minimizing the risk of credit loss.

      The table below provides information about the Company's market
sensitive financial instruments and constitutes a "forward-looking statement."
All items described below are non-trading and are stated in U.S. dollars.

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

Patent Litigation
- -----------------
      On March 5, 1996, the Company and University of Alabama-Birmingham
Research Foundation (UAB) (collectively the co-plaintiffs) sued EG&G
Astrophysics (EG&G) of Long Beach, California, in the United States District
Court for the Western District of Wisconsin for infringement of U.S. Patent
4,626,688 (the '688 Patent) by EG&G's dual-energy baggage scanners.  A trial
of the matter in December of 1996 concluded with a verdict in favor of the
co-plaintiffs.  The Company and UAB were awarded $4.2 million in damages,
which was divided between the co-plaintiffs after deducting legal expenses. 
The co-plaintiffs also entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with
EG&G whereby EG&G was licensed under the '688 patent and a related U.S.
patent.  The license agreement provides for payment of royalties to the co-
plaintiffs on EG&G's dual-energy baggage scanners manufactured or sold in
the United States.  The license agreement ends on December 2, 2003. 

      The Company is presently co-defendant and counterclaim co-plaintiff
with the UAB in two declaratory judgment actions filed in the United States
District Court for the Central District of California. Both actions seek a
determination of non-infringement and invalidity of the '688 Patent.  The
first declaratory judgment action was filed on January 21, 1997 by RapiScan
Security Systems Inc. ("RapiScan").  RapiScan manufactures and sells baggage
scanning equipment and is a competitor of EG&G.  The second declaratory
judgment action was filed on February 26, 1997 by Osteometer Meditech A/S
("Osteometer"), a competitor of the Company.  Osteometer manufactures and
sells bone densitometry products and is located in Denmark.  Terms of a
settlement in principal have been read into the court record and negotiations
of final settlement documentation are ongoing.  The Company does not believe
these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or financial condition of the Company.

Other Matters
- -------------
      The Company is a defendant from time to time in actions arising out of
its ordinary business operations.  There are no other legal proceedings known
to the Company at this time, which it believes, would likely have a material
adverse impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the
Company.  To the Company's knowledge, there are no material legal proceedings
to which any director, officer, affiliate or more than 5% shareholder of the
Company (or any associate of the foregoing persons) is a party adverse to the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the
Company.

                              LUNAR CORPORATION
                          Deferred Compensation Plan

      Section 1.  Introduction.  The purpose of the Lunar Corporation
Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan") is to permit certain key employees
of Lunar Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (the "Company"), and certain
of its Subsidiaries (as defined below) to defer receipt of the base salary,
commissions or bonuses, or any of them, earned by or payable to such
employees until such times as set forth herein.  

      Section 2.  Definitions.  For purposes of the Plan, the following
capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth below.

2.1   "Account" shall mean an account kept on the books and records of the
Company established on behalf of a Participant to which amounts deferred by
such Participant and earnings thereon are credited.

2.2   "Agreement" shall mean the written instrument between the Company and a
Participant evidencing such Participant's election to defer compensation
hereunder.

2.3   "Beneficiary" shall mean the beneficiary or beneficiaries (including any
contingent beneficiary) designated pursuant to Section 4.5.

2.4   "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

2.5   "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

2.6   "Committee" shall mean the two or more members of the Board who are
selected by the Board to administer the Plan.

2.7   "Company" shall mean Lunar Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation, or any
successor thereto. 

2.8   "Disability" shall mean the inability, as determined solely by the
Committee, of any Employee to perform substantially his or her duties and
responsibilities for a continuous period of at least six months.

2.9   "Eligible Employee" shall mean an employee of an Employer whose base
salary for a Deferral Year is scheduled to be at least $100,000 as of the
first day of such Deferral Year (or such other amount determined by the
Committee from time to time).

2.10   "ERISA" shall mean the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended. 

2.11   "Effective Date" shall mean September 1, 1997.

2.12   "Employer" shall mean the Company and each Subsidiary, other than a
Subsidiary, if any, which the Committee excludes from participation in the
Plan.

2.13   "Participant" shall mean an Eligible Employee who has elected to defer
compensation pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

2.14   "Subsidiary" shall mean any corporation other than the Company in an
unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company if, at the time of
reference, each of the corporations other than the last corporation in the
unbroken chain owns stock possessing 50 percent or more of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock voting generally in the election of
directors in one of the other corporations in such chain.



      Section 3.  Participation and Deferrals.  

3.1   Participation.  In General.  Each Eligible Employee may participate in
the Plan by executing an Agreement with the Company prior to the beginning of
any calendar month.

3.2   Deferral Elections.  An Eligible Employee may elect to defer for each
calendar month the receipt of (i) between 1% and 50% of base salary payable
to or earned by such employee during such month (or such greater percentage
specified for such Eligible Employee in such Eligible Employee's Agreement,
or determined from time to time by the Committee), (ii) between 5% and 100%
of any commissions payable to or earned by such Eligible Employee during
such month and (iii) between 5% and 100% of any bonuses payable to or earned
by such Eligible Employee during such month.  In no event shall an Agreement
apply to compensation earned prior to the date on which an Agreement is
received by the Company.  A Participant may not revoke or change an election
to defer compensation for a calendar month after the beginning of such month,
but may change or revoke his or her election for any subsequent month by
executing with the Company a new Agreement prior to the month for which the
change or revocation is to become effective.

3.3   Deferred Compensation Account.  (a)  Establishment of Account;
Crediting Deferred Compensation.  Any compensation deferred by a Participant
shall be credited to such Participant's Account as of the date on which,
absent such election, such compensation would have been payable to the
Participant. 

      (b)  Earnings.  For bookkeeping purposes only, until a Participant's
Account has been paid in its entirety, such Account shall be credited
quarterly in arrears as of the last calendar day of each fiscal quarter of
the Company at a rate of interest equal to one percent (1%) per quarter. A
Participant's Account shall bear interest from and including the first day
on which an amount is credited to the Account, or from and including the
most recent last calendar day of a fiscal quarter on which interest was
credited to such Account, to but excluding the date as of which interest is
credited.  Although the Participant's Employer or the Company may actually
invest (or cause an agent holding assets on behalf of the Employer or the
Company to invest) an amount equal to each Participant's Account balance in
interest bearing accounts or other investment vehicles to facilitate the
payment of Account balances, neither the Company nor the Employer is required
to do so nor to set aside any amount to pay such Account balances. 

      (c)  Notices.  Each Participant shall receive written notice of his or
her Account balance as soon as practicable following the last day of each
calendar quarter. 



      Section 4.  Payments of Deferred Compensation.

4.1   Timing.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the balance of a
Participant's Account shall be paid or commence to be paid to such
Participant on the date(s) elected by the Participant in such Participant's
Agreement; provided, however, that the date(s) elected by the Participant
shall be at least one year after the execution of the Participation's
Agreement or, if earlier, the participant's termination of employment with
the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, defer the payment of all or any portion of a Participant's
Account to the extent it determines that the payment of such amount at the
time elected by the Participant would cause the Company or the Participant's
Employer to be unable to deduct any portion of the Participant's compensation
as a result of the limitations prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code.

4.2   Manner of Payment.  Each Participant shall receive payment of the
amount credited to his or her Account either in a single lump sum or in
monthly, quarterly or annual installments at least equal to $1,000 over a
period of years not to exceed 20 years, as permitted by the Committee and
elected by the Participant.  In the event the Participant's employment
terminates by reason of death, the Participant's Beneficiary shall receive
or continue to receive payment of the unpaid balance of the Participant's
Account at the same time and in the same manner as such Account balance
would have been paid to the Participant had he or she survived; provided,
however, that the Committee may accelerate the payment of such Account in
its sole discretion.

4.3   Emergency Payments.  In the event of an Unforeseeable Financial
Emergency (as defined below), a Participant may file a written request with
the Company to receive all or any portion of the balance of such
Participant's Account in an immediate lump sum payment.  A Participant's
written request for such a payment shall describe in reasonable detail the
circumstances which the Participant believes justify the payment and an
estimate of the amount necessary to eliminate the Unforeseeable Financial
Emergency.   An "Unforeseeable Financial Emergency" shall mean unforeseeable
severe financial hardship resulting from (i) the Participant's Disability,
(ii) a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or a
dependent of the Participant, (iii) loss of the Participant's property due
to casualty or (iv) such other extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances
arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, all as
determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.  Unforeseeable Financial
Emergency payments shall be made only to the extent necessary to satisfy the
emergency need and shall not be made to the extent the need is or may be
relieved through reimbursement or compensation, by insurance or otherwise,
by cessation of deferrals under the Plan or by liquidation of the
Participant's assets (to the extent such liquidation itself would not cause
severe financial hardship).  Any Unforeseeable Financial Emergency payment
from a Participant's Account shall be deemed to cancel any deferral election
of the Participant then in effect and, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, the Participant shall be suspended from making further deferral
elections under the Plan during the remainder of the Deferral Year in which
such payment is made and the Deferral Year immediately thereafter.

4.4   Distributions to Minor and Disabled Persons.  If a payment is to be
made to a minor or to an individual who, in the opinion of the Committee, is
unable to manage his or her financial affairs by reason of illness or mental
incompetency, such distribution may be made to or for the benefit of any such
individual in such of the following ways as the Committee shall direct:  (a)
directly to any such minor individual if, in the opinion of the Committee, he
or she is able to manage his or her financial affairs, (b) to the legal
representative of any such individual, (c) to a custodian under a Uniform
Gifts to Minors Act (or similar law) for any such minor individual, or (d)
to some near relative of any such individual to be used for the latter's
benefit.  Neither the Committee nor any Employer shall be required to see to
the application by any third party of any payment made to or for the benefit
of a Participant or Beneficiary pursuant to this Section.

4.5   Beneficiaries.  A Participant shall have the right to designate a
Beneficiary, and amend or revoke such designation at any time, in writing. 
Such designation, amendment or revocation shall be effective upon receipt of
the Participant's written designation by the Company.   If no Beneficiary
survives the Participant, the Company shall direct that payment of any
balance to the Participant's Account be made in the following order of
priority:

      (a)  to the Participant's spouse; or if none,
      (b)  to the Participant's descendants, per stirpes; or if none,
      (c)  to the Participant's estate.


      Section 5.  Administration.  The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee, which shall have full power and authority to interpret, construe
and administer the Plan in accordance with the provisions herein set forth. 
The Committee's interpretation and construction hereof, and actions
hereunder, or the amount or recipient of the payments to be made herefrom,
shall be conclusive and binding on all persons for all purposes.  In this
connection, the Committee may delegate to any Employer, committee or
individual, whether or not an employee of an Employer, the duty to act for
the Committee hereunder.  No officer or employee of the Company or any
Employer shall be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in
connection with the interpretation and administration of the Plan unless
attributable to his or her own willful misconduct or lack of good faith. 
The expenses of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Employers and
shall not be charged against the Plan.

      Section 6.  Miscellaneous.  

6.1   Unfunded Status and Application of ERISA.  The Plan is intended to be
an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees
within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA and
Department of Labor Regulation section 2520.104-23.  In order to meet the
deferred obligations hereunder, the Company and the Employers may, but shall
not be required to, set aside or earmark an amount necessary to provide
payments equal to the aggregate balances of the Participants' Accounts.  In
the event that the Company or an Employer sets aside any amounts to provide
payments hereunder, such amounts, and all income attributable to such
amounts, shall remain (until made available to a Participant or Beneficiary)
solely the property and rights of the Company or such Employer (without being
restricted to the provision of benefits under the Plan) and shall be subject
to the claims of the Company's or the Employer's general creditors.  The
Company's and each Employer's obligations hereunder shall constitute general,
unsecured obligations, payable solely out of its general assets, and no
Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right to any specific assets.  The
Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Company and each Employer to make
benefit payments in the future.

6.2   Immunity.  Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the payment of any
Account hereunder shall be construed as giving or granting any person any
legal or equitable rights against the Company, any Employer, the Board, the
Committee, or any of their officers, trustees, associates, or agents, other
than such as are specifically conferred by the express terms of the Plan.

6.3   Nonassignability.  No compensation deferred under the Plan or any
amount credited to an Account shall be subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or
garnishment by creditors of any Participant or any Beneficiary, and any
attempt to transfer or encumber the same shall be void, other than pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Title I of ERISA.

6.4   Amendment of the Plan.  The Board may, in its sole discretion and
without the consent of any Participant or Beneficiary, amend the Plan at
any time and in any manner by duly adopted resolutions, including, without
limitation, the acceleration of the payment of any Accounts hereunder;
provided, however, that no amendment shall reduce the amount credited to the
Account of any Participant immediately prior to such amendment.  

6.5   Withdrawal by an Employer; Termination of the Plan.  Each Employer
may, in its sole discretion without the consent of any Participant or
Beneficiary, terminate its participation in the Plan at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Committee and each Participant employed by
such Employer.  Notwithstanding any Participant's deferral election set
forth in an Agreement pursuant to Section 3.1 and Section 3.2, the amount
credited to each Account shall be paid to the person entitled thereto at
such time and in such manner as the Committee shall determine, but not
later than the date or dates payments would have been made had such
Employer's participation in the Plan not been terminated.  The Company
may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Plan without the consent of, or
notification to, any person.  Upon the termination of the Plan, all Account
balances shall be paid to Participants and Beneficiaries.

6.6   No Contractual Rights to Serve.  Nothing in the Plan shall be
interpreted as conferring any right on any employee to remain employed by an
Employer for any stated period of time or otherwise change the employee's
employment relationship with his or her Employer from an employment at will
relationship.

6.7   Tax Withholding, Etc.  Any payment required under the Plan shall be
subject to all requirements of the law with regard to withholding taxes,
filings, and making of reports, and each Employer and Participant shall use
its or his or her best efforts to satisfy promptly all such requirements, as
applicable.

6.8   Applicable Law.  The Plan and all rights hereunder and all
determinations made and actions taken pursuant thereto, to the extent not
otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States, shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin and construed in accordance
therewith without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws.

      4.    Agreement of the Company to Defer Base Salary, Commissions and/or

of remaining installment payments.

      7.    Death of Employee.  In the event that the Participant shall die

Deferred Compensation Agreement (the "Agreement")
dated:_______________________

You may designate a primary beneficiary and a secondary beneficiary.  You
may name more than one person as a primary or secondary beneficiary.  For
example, you may wish to name your spouse as primary beneficiary and your
children as secondary beneficiaries.  Your secondary beneficiary(ies) will
receive nothing if any of your primary beneficiaries survive you.  All
primary beneficiaries will share equally unless you indicate otherwise.  The
same rule applies for secondary beneficiaries.

Designate Your Beneficiary(ies):

      Primary Beneficiary(ies) (give name, address and relationship to you):
      ___________________________________________________
      ___________________________________________________
      ___________________________________________________

      Secondary Beneficiary(ies) (give name, address and relationship to you):
      ___________________________________________________
      ___________________________________________________
      ___________________________________________________

      I certify that my designation of beneficiary set forth above is my free
act and deed.

If you marry or become divorced after the date of this Form, your marriage
will be deemed to revoke any prior beneficiary designation, and your divorce
will be deemed to revoke any prior designation of your divorced spouse, if
written evidence of such marriage or divorce is received by the Secretary
before payment of any deferred compensation subject to the Agreement. 
Therefore, if you are married or divorced after making a beneficiary
designation, you should file a new designation even if you want your
beneficiary designation(s) to remain the same.
