Item 4. Description of Securities. Not applicable. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. The validity of the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock Purchase Rights registered hereby is being passed upon for OMC by D. Jeffrey Baddeley, Vice President and General Counsel of OMC. Mr. Baddeley is the beneficial owner of less than 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, grants the Registrant broad powers to indemnify any person in connection with legal proceedings brought against him by reason of his present or past status as an officer or director of the Registrant, provided that the person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. This statute also gives the Registrant broad power to indemnify any such person against expenses in connection with any action by or in the name of the Registrant provided the person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant except that no indemnification may be made if such person is adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless and only to the extent the court in which such action was brought determines upon application that, despite such adjudication, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnity as the court deems proper. In addition, to the -3- 4 extent that any such person is successful in the defense of any such legal proceeding, the Registrant is required by statute to indemnify such person against expenses, including attorneys' fees, that are actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. Article VII of OMC's By-Laws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and that such indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person indemnified may be entitled by law or otherwise. The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance and corporate reimbursement policies insuring directors and all officers against loss arising from claims made arising out of the performance of their duties. The effect of the foregoing provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-laws would be to permit such indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

I have acted as counsel for Registrant and in such capacity have had general legal supervision over certain corporate proceedings and have acted as its counsel with respect to the establishment and amendment of the Plan and the preparation of the Registration Statement. It is my opinion that: 1. Registrant is a corporation existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 2. The Common Stock, when issued by the Registrant in accordance with the Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non- assessable. 3. Interests in the Plan acquired by eligible employees are and will continue to be valid and enforceable. I confirm that: 1. The Plan and trust are subject to the provisions of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). Such provisions include those dealing with reporting and disclosure, participation and vesting, funding, fiduciary responsibility, and administration and enforcement. 2. The Plan is also subject to the provisions of Title II of ERISA, the requirements for tax qualification. 3. As of the date hereof, the provisions of the Plan and Trust, the written documents which constitute the Plan, comply with the provisions of Title I of ERISA applicable thereto and we have no reason to believe that the Internal Revenue Service will not issue a favorable determination with respect to the continued qualification of the Plan and Trust as so constituted or as may be so amended. I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement referred to above. Respectfully submitted, OUTBOARD MARINE CORPORATION D.

The definitions in Section 12.2 shall apply under this Article XII and the special rules in Section 12.3 shall apply, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, for any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan and for such other Plan Years as may be specified herein. 12.2 Special Top Heavy Definitions. The following special definitions shall apply under this Article XII. (a) Aggregate Employer Contributions, means the sum of all Employer Contributions under this Plan allocated for a Participant to the Plan and employer contributions and forfeitures allocated for the Participant to all Related Defined Contribution Plans in the Aggregation Group; provided, however, that for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 1985 and after December 31, 1988, employer contributions attributable to salary reduction or similar arrangement under the Plan and Related Defined Contribution Plans shall not be included in Aggregate Employer Contributions. (b) Aggregation Group means the group of plans in a Mandatory Aggregation Group, if any, that includes the Plan, unless inclusion of Related Plans in the Permissive Aggregation Group ii the "Aggregation Group" would prevent the Plan from being a Top Heavy Plan, in which case "Aggregation Group" means the group of plans consisting of the Plan and each other Related Plan -48- 49 in a Permissive Aggregation Group with the Plan. (i) Mandatory Aggregation Group means each plan (considering tie Plan and Related Plans) that, during the Plan Year that contains the Determination Date or any of the four preceding Plan Years, (A) had a participant who was a Key Employee, or (B) was necessary to be considered with a plan in which a Key Employee participated in order to liable the plan in which the Key Employee participated to meet the requirements of Section 4(1(a)(4) or Section 410 of the Code. If the Plan is not described in (A) or (B) above, it shall not be part of a Mandatory Aggregation Group. (ii) Permissive Aggregation Group means the group of plans consisting of (A) the plans, if any, in a Mandatory Aggregation Group with the Plan, and (B) any other Related Plan, that, when considered as a part of the Aggregation Group, does not cause the Aggregation Group to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) and Section 410 of the Code. A Related Plan in (B) of the preceding sentence may include a simplified employee pension plan, as defined in Code Section 408(k), and a collect- ively bargained plan, if when considered as a part of the Aggregation Group such plan does not cause the Aggregation Group to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) and Section 410 of the Code considering, if the plan is a multiple employer Plan as described in Code Section 414(f) or a multiple employer plan as described in Code Section 413(c), benefits under the plan only to the extent provider to employees of the employer because of service with the employer and, if the plan is a simplified employee pension plan, only the employer's contribution to the plan. (c) "Determination Date" means, with respect to a plan year, the last day of the preceding plan year or, in the case of the first plan year, the last day of such plan year. If the Plan aggregated with other plans in the Aggregation Group, the Determination Date for each other plan shall be, with respect to any plan year, the Determination Date for each such other plan which falls in the same calendar year as the Determination Date for the Plan. (d) Key Employee means, for the Plan Year containing the Determination Date, any person or the beneficiary of any person who is an employee or former employee of an Employer or a Commonly Controlled Entity as determined under Code Section 416(i) and who, at any time during the Plan Year containing the Determination Date or any of the four (4) preceding Plan Years (the "Measurement Period"), is a person described in paragraph (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), subject to paragraph (v). (i) An officer of the Employer or Commonly Controlled Entity who: (A) in any Measurement Period, in the case of a Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1983, is an officer during the Plan Year and has annual Compensation for the Plan Year in an amount greater than fifty percent (50%) of the amount in effect under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code for the calendar year in which such Plan Year ends ($98,064 in 1989, adjusted as determined in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate pursuant to the provisions of Section 415(d) of the Code); and (B) in any Measurement Period, in the case of any Plan Year beginning on or before December l, 1983, is an officer during the Plan Year regardless of his Compensation (except to the extent that applicable law, regulations and -49- 50 rulings duplicate that the fifty percent (50%) requirement set forth in subparagraph (A) above is applicable). No more than a total of fifty (50) persons (or, if lesser, the greater of three (3) persons or ten percent (10%) of all persons or beneficiaries of persons who are employees or former employees) shall be treated as Key Employees under this paragraph (i) for any Measurement Period. In the case of an Employer or Commonly Controlled Entity which is not a corporation: (A) in any Measurement Period, in the case of a Plan Year beginning on or before February 8, 1985, no persons shall be treated as Key Employees under this paragraph (i); and (B) in any Measurement Period, in the case of a Plan Year beginning after February 28, 1985, the term "officer" as used in this subsection (d) shall include administrative executives as described in Section 1.416-1(T-13) of the Treasury regulations.

No more than a total of ten (10) persons or beneficiaries of persons who are employees or former employees shall be treated as Key Employees under this paragraph (ii) for any Measurement Period. (iii) i person who, for a Plan Year in the Measurement Period, is a more than five percent (5%) owner (or is considered as owning more than five percent (5%) within the meaning of Code Section 318) of the Employer or a Commonly Controlled Entity. (iv) I person who, for a Plan Year in the Measurement Period, is a more than one percent (1%) owner (or is considered as owning more than one percent (1%) than the meaning of Code Section 318) of the Employs , or a Commonly Controlled Entity and has an annual compensation for such Plan Year from the Employer and Commonly Controlled Entities of more than $150,000. (v) I the number of persons who meet the requirements t be treated as Key Employees under paragraph (i) r (ii) exceed the limitation on the number of Key Employees to be counted under paragraph (i) or (ii), those persons with the highest annual Compensation ii a Plan Year in the Measurement Period for which the requirements are met and who are within the limitation on the number of Key Employees will be treated as Key Employees. If the requirements of paragraph (i) or (ii) are met by a person in more than one (1) Plan Year in the Measurement Period, each person will be counted only once under paragraph (i) or (ii): (A) under paragraph (i), the Plan Year in the Measurement Period in which a person who was an office, and had the highest annual Compensation shall -50- 51 be used to determine whether the person will be treated as a Key Employee under the preceding sentence; (B) under paragraph (ii), the Plan Year in the Measurement Period in which the ownership percentage interest is the greatest shall be used to determine whether the person will be treated as a Key Employee under the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the above provisions of paragraph (v), a person may be counted in determining the limitation under both paragraphs (i) and (ii). In determining the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for Key Employees under subsection (h) of this Section, the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for any person shall be counted only once. (e) means a person or the beneficiary of a person who, at any time during the Measurement Period, has an account balance in the Plan or an account balance Dr accrued benefit in any Related Plan in the Aggregation Group and who is not a Key Employee. (f) "Benefits" means, for any Plan Year, an amount equal to the sum of (i), (ii) and (iii) for each person who, in the Plan Year containing the Determination Date, was a Key Employee or a Non-Key Employee. (i) Subject to (iv) below, the value of a person's Accrued Benefit under the Plan and each Related Defined Contribution Plan in the Aggregation Group, determined as if the valuation date coincident with or immediately preceding the Determination Date, adjusted for contributions due as of the Determination Date, as follows: (A) in the case of a plan not subject to the minimum funding requirements of Section 412 of the Code, by including the amount of any contributions actually made after the valuation date but on or before the Determination Date, and, in the first plan year of a plan, by including contributions made after the Determination Date that are allocated as of a date in that first plan year; and (B) in the case of a plan that is subject to the minimum funding require- ments, by including the amount of any contributions that would be alloc- ated as of a date not later than the Determination Date, plus adjustments to those amounts as required under applicable rulings, even though those amounts are not yet required to be contributed or allocated (e.g., because they have been waived) and by including the amount of any contributions actually made (or due to be made) after the valuation date but before the expiration of the extended payment period in Section 41!(c)(10) of the Code. (ii) Subject to (iv) below, the sum of the actuarial present values of a person's accrued benefits under each Related Defined Benefit Plan in the Aggregation Group, determined, for any person who is employed by an Employer maintaining the Plan on the Determination Date, expressed as a benefit commencing at Normal Retirement Date for the person's attained age, if later) and further determined using the same method which is used for accrual purposes under all Related Define Benefit Plans in the Aggregation Group, and if he same method is not used for all Related Define Benefit Plans then as if such benefit accrued no more rapidly than at the slowest permitted accrual rate u dewier Code Section 411(b)(1)(C) determined bast d on the following actuarial assumptions: (A) Interest rate: 5%; and (B) Mortality: 1984 Unisex Pension Table; and determined in accordance with Code Section 416(g), provided, however, that if a Related Defined Benefit Plan in the Aggregation -51- 52 Group provides for different or additional actuarial assumptions to be used in determining the present value of accrued benefits thereunder for the purpose of determining the top heavy status thereof, then such different or additional actuarial assumptions shall apply with respect to each Related Defined Benefit Plan in the Aggregation Group. The present value of an accrued benefit for any person who is employed by an employer maintaining a plan on the Determination Date is determined as of the most recent valuation date which is within a 12-month period ending on the Determination Date, provided however that: (A) or the first plan year of the plan, the present value for an employee is determined as if the employee had a Termination of Employment (1) on the Determination Date or (2) on such valuation date but taking into account the estimated accrued benefit as of the Determination Date; and (B) or the second and subsequent plan years of tie plan, the accrued benefit taken into account for an employee is not less than the accrued benefit taken into account for the first plan year unless the difference is attributable to using a estimate of the accrued benefit as of the Determination Date for the first plan year and using the actual accrued benefit as of the Determination Date for the second plan year. For purposes of this paragraph (ii), the valuation date is the valuation date used by the plan for computing plan costs for minimum funding, regardless of whether a valuation is performed that year. If the plan provides for a nonproportional subsidy as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.416-1(T-27) the present value of accrued benefits shall be determined taking into account the value of nonproportional subsidized early retirement benefits and nonproportional subsidized benefit options. (iii) Subject to (iv) below, the aggregate value of amounts distributed from the Plan and each Related Plan in the Aggregation Group during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date or any of the four preceding Plan Years including amounts distributed under a terminated plan which, if it had not been terminated, would have been in the Aggregation Group. (iv) The following rules shall apply in determining the Present Value of Accrued Benefits: (A) Amounts attributable to qualified voluntary employee contributions, as defined in Section 219(e) of the Code, shall be excluded. (B) In computing the Present Value of Accrued Benefits with respect to rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers, the following rules shall be applied to determine whether amounts which have been distributed during the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date from or accepted into this Plan or any plan in the Aggregation Group shall be included in determining the Present Value of Accrued Benefits: (1) Unrelated Transfers accepted into the Plan or any plan in the Aggregation Group after December 31, 1983 shall not be included. (2) Unrelated Transfers accepted on or before December 31, 1983 and all Related Transfers accepted at any time into the Plan or any plan in the Aggregation Group shall be included. (3) Unrelated Transfers made from the Plan or any plan in the Aggregation -52- 53 Group shall be included. (4) Related Transfers made from the Plan or any plan in the Aggregation Group shall not be included by the transferor plan (but shall be counted by the accepting plan). The Accrued Benefit of any individual who has not performed services or an Employer maintaining the Plan or from a Commonly Controlled Entity maintaining a Related Plan in the Aggregation Group at any time during the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date shall be excluded in computing the Present Value of Accrued Benefits. (g) "Related Transfer" means a rollover or a plan-to-plan transfer which is either not initiated by the Employee or is made between plans each of which is maintained by a Continually Controlled Entity. (h) A "Top Heavy Aggregation Group" exists in any Plan Year for which as of the Determination Date, the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for Key Employees under all plans in the Aggregation Group exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for all employees under all plans in the Aggregation Group; provided that, for purposes of determining the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for all employees under all plans in the Aggregation Group, here shall be excluded the Present Value of Accrued Benefits of any Non-Key Employee who was a Key Employee for any Plan Year preceding the Plan Year that contains the Determination Date. For purposes of applying the special rules herein with respect to a Super Top Heavy Plan, a Top Heavy Aggregation Group will also constitute a "Super Top Heavy Aggregation Group" if in any Plan Year as of the Determination Date, the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for Key Employees under all plans in the Aggregation Group precedes ninety percent (90%) of the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for all employees under all plans in the Aggregation Group. (i) Top Heavy Plan means the Plan in any Plan Year in which it is a merger of a Top Heavy Aggregation Group, including a Top Heavy Aggregation Group consisting solely of the Plan. For purposes of applying the rules herein with respect to a Super Top Heavy Plan, a Top Heavy Plan will also constitute a "Super Top Heavy Plan" if the Plan in any Plan Year is a member of a Super Top Heavy Aggregation Group, including a Super Top Heavy Aggregation Group consisting solely of the Plan. (j) Unrelated Transfer" means a rollover or a plan-to-plan transfer which is both initiated by the Employee and (a) made from a plan maintained by a Commonly Controlled Entity to a plan maintained by an employer which is not a Commonly Controlled Entity or (b) made to a plan maintained by a Commonly Controlled Entity from a plan maintained by an employer which is not a Commonly Controlled Entity. 12.3 Special Top Heavy Provisions. For each Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, the following rules shall apply, except that the special provisions of this Section 12.3 shall not apply with respect to any employee included in a unit of employees covered by an agreement which the Secretary of Labor finds to be a collective-bargaining agreement between employee representative and one or more Employers if there is evidence that retirement: benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining between such employee representative and the Employer or Employers: (a) Minimum Employer Contribution. In any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, the Employers shall make additional Employer Contributions to the Plan as necessary for each participant who is employed on the last day of the Plan Year and who is a Non-Key Employee to bring aggregate Employer Contributions participant's Employer 401(k) -53- 54 Contributions g Contributions used for purposes of al contribution percentage under the Plan Year up to at least three Compensation, or if the Plan is not amended in an aggregation group in order to benefit plan in the aggregation group to comments of Section 401(a)(4) or code, such lesser amount as is equal to age of a Key Employee's Compensation allocated to the Key Employee as Aggregate Employer Contributions, unless such Participant is a Participant in a Related Defined Benefit Plan and receives a minimum benefit thereunder in accordance with Section 416(c) of the Code in which case such Participant shall not receive a minimum contribution under this Section 12.3(a). For purposes of determining whether a Non-Key Employee is a Participant entitled to have minimum Employer Contributions made on his behalf, a Non-Key Employee will be treated as a Participant even if he is not otherwise a Participant (or accrues no benefit) under the Plan because: (i) he his failed to complete the requisite number of hours of service (if any) after becoming a Participant in the Plan, the amount of his A (excluding such Par and Employer Matching determining the acts Section 5.4(c) for percent (3%) of his required to be included permit a defined be satisfy the require Section 410 of the largest percent (ii) he is excluded from participation in the Plan (or accrues no benefit) merely because his compensation is less than a stated amount, or (iii) he is excluded from participation in the Plan (or accrues no benefit) merely because of a failure to make mandatory employee contributions or, if the Plan is a 401(k) plan, because of a failure to make elective 401(k) contributions. (b) Vesting. For each Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan and for each Plan Year thereafter, the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit shall continue to be determined under the following schedule: Years of Vesting Percentage Service Vested Less than 1 year 0% More than 1 year but less than 2 years 20% More than 2 years but less than 3 years 40% More than 3 years but less than 4 years 60% More than 4 years but less than 5 years 80% 5 years or more 100% (c) Limitation. In computing the limitations under Section 6.4 hereof for years in which the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, the special rules of Section 416(h) of the Code shall be applied in accordance with applicable regulations and rulings so that, in determining the denominator of the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction and the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction, at each place at which 1.25 would have been used, 1.00 shall be substituted, unless the Plan is not a Super Top Heavy Plan and the special requirements of Section 416(h)(2) of the Code have been satisfied. (d) Transition Rule for a Top Heavy Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.3(c), for each Plan Year in which tie Plan is a Top Heavy Plan and in which the Plan does not meet the special requirements of Section 416(h)(2) of the Code in order to use 1.25 in the denominator of the defined Contribution Plan Fraction and the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction, if an Employee was a participant in one or more defined benefit plans and in one or more defined -54- 55 contribution plans maintained by the employer before the Plans became Top Heavy Plans and if such Participant's Combined Fraction exceeds 1.00 because of accruals and additions that were made before the plans became Top Heavy Plans, a factor equal to the lesser of 1.25 or such lesser amount (but not less than 1.00) as shall be needed to mike the Employee's Combined Fraction equal to 1.00 shall be used in the denominator of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction if there are no further accruals or annual additions under any Top Heavy Plans until the Participant's Combined Fraction is not greater than 1.00 when a factor of 1.00 is used in the denominators of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction. Any provisions therein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Plan is a Top heavy Plan and the Plan does not meet the special requirements of Section 416(h)(2) of the Code in order to use 1.25 ii the denominator of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction, there shall be no further Annual Additions for a Participant whose Combined Fraction is greater than 1.00 when a factor of 1.00 is used in the denominator of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction, until such time as the Participant's Combined Fraction is not greater than 1.00. (e) Transitions Rule for a Super Top Heavy Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 12.3(c) and 12.3(d), for each Plan Year in which the Plan is a Super Top Heavy Plan, (1) if an Employee was a participant in one or more defined benefit plans and in one or more defined contribution plans maintained by the employer before the plans became Super Top Heavy Plans, and (2) if such Participant's Combined Fraction exceeds 1.00 because of accruals and additions that were made before the plans became Super Top Heavy Plans and if immediately before the plans became Super Top Heavy Plans the Combined Fraction as then computed did not exceed 1.00, then a factor equal to the lesser of 1.25 or such lesser amount (but not less than 1.00) as shall be combined to make the Employee's Combined Fraction equal to 1.00 shall be used in the denominator of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction if there are no further accruals or annual additions under any Super Top Heavy Plans until the Participant's Combined Fraction is not greater than 1.00 when a factor )f 1.00 is used in the denominators of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and the Defined Contribution Plan Faction. Any provisions herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Plan is a Super Top Heavy Plan, there shall be no further Annual Additions for a Participant whose Combined Fraction is greater than 1.00 when a factor of 1.00 is used in the denominator of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction until the Participant's Combined Fraction is not greater than 1.00. (f) Terminated Plan. If the Plan becomes a Top Heavy Plan after it has formally been terminated, has ceased crediting for benefit accruals and vesting and has been or is distributing all plan assets to participants and their beneficiaries as soon as administratively feasible or if the Plan has distributed all benefits of participants and their beneficiaries the provisions of Section 12.3 shall not apply to the Plan. (g) Frozen Plans. If the Plan becomes a Top Heavy Plan after contributions have ceased under the Plan but all assets have not been distributed to participants or their beneficiaries, the provisions of Section 12.3 shall apply to the Plan. ARTICLE XIII. Miscellaneous Provisions -55- 56 13.1 Employer Joinder.
