--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

SENSIENT TECHNOLOGIES SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT PLAN
Section 1. Purpose.
     The Sensient Technologies Corporation Supplemental Benefit Plan (the
“Original Plan”) was initially established to reimburse certain employees for
various reductions in qualified plan benefits in the Sensient Technologies
Retirement Employee Stock Ownership Plan, the Sensient Technologies Transition
Retirement Plan, the Sensient Technologies Corporation Saving Plan, and the
Retirement Plan, which reductions are caused by (i) restrictions in
Section 401(a)(17), 410, or 415 of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) the maximum
limitation on employer and employee contributions under Sections 401(k), 401(m),
and 402(g), of the Internal Revenue Code and (iii) the deferral of a portion of
their cash compensation pursuant to nonqualified deferred compensation
arrangements.

was frozen to maintain grandfathered benefits as of December 31, 2004 to the
extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code; and (2) this Sensient
Technologies Supplemental Benefit Plan was established as an ongoing plan
subject to Section 409A of the Code with respect to benefits vesting and
accruing on and after January 1, 2005, together with earnings on such benefits.
All benefits under this Plan are subject to Section 409A of the Code and any
guidance issued thereunder. If any decision by the Internal Revenue Service, or
issuance by the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of the Treasury of

under the Original Plan shall be covered by and subject to all terms and

“Exchange Act”) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of
Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (A) the
then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company
Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that
for purposes of this subsection (i), the following acquisitions shall not
constitute a Change of Control: (1) any acquisition directly from the Company,
(2) any acquisition by the Company, (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit
plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any
corporation controlled by the Company or (4) any acquisition pursuant to a

this Section; or     (ii)   individuals who, as of September 10, 1998,
constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute
at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual
becoming a director subsequent to September 10, 1998 whose

- 5 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

      election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was
approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of
the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose
initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened
election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other
actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a
Person other than the Board; or     (iii)   consummation by the Company of a
reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or the acquisition of assets of
another entity (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such
Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and
entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding
Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior
to such business combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than
50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation
resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a
corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more
subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership
immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common
Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no
Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or
of such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns,
directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding
shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business
Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed
prior to the Business Combination and (C) at least a majority of the members of
the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business
Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of
the initial agreement, or the action of the Board, providing for such Business
Combination; or     (iv)   approval by the shareholders of the Company of a
complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

     (b) Subject to Section 11(b), distribution of the vested Plan Account of an
Executive shall be made in a lump sum cash payment within five (5) days after
the end of the calendar quarter in which occurs the Executive’s separation from
service with the Employers, as determined under Section 409A of the Code.
     (c) In the event the Executive dies prior to receipt of the Executive’s
Plan Account and either (i) the Executive’s Account is vested pursuant to
(a) above or (ii) the Executive dies while employed with the Employers, the
amount of such Account shall be paid to the beneficiary designated by the
Executive in a lump sum cash payment within five (5) days after the end of the
calendar quarter in which the Executive’s death occurs or in which any needed
resolution as to beneficiary status is finalized. A beneficiary may be
designated by the Executive by a written statement to such effect filed with the
Administrator. In the event no beneficiary is validly designated or the
designated beneficiary predeceased the Executive, the Executive’s estate shall
be the beneficiary hereunder.
     (d) In the event the Rabbi Trust invests in STC Stock as an asset
attributable to the Plan, an Executive or beneficiary eligible for a cash lump
sum payment may elect to receive such distribution in STC Stock in lieu of cash,
but not in excess of the portion of the STC Stock owned by the Rabbi Trust
attributable to the Executive’s Plan Account.
Section 8. Rabbi Trust.
     (a) The Plan Account is utilized solely for recordkeeping purposes to
measure and determine of the amount to be paid to an Executive hereunder.
Neither the Plan Accounts nor any other reserve established on the Company’s
books to reflect the liabilities under this Plan shall constitute or be treated
as a trust fund of any kind.
     (b) Notwithstanding (a) above, the Company shall periodically fund the
Rabbi Trust in order to maintain sufficient assets therein to equal the value
from time to time of the Plan Accounts.
     (c) In the event the Rabbi Trust invests in STC Stock as an asset
attributable to the Plan, prior to an occasion for the exercise of STC Stock
voting rights, the Administrator shall provide or cause to be provided to each
Executive notification of such occasion together with any other information
being provided by the Company to its shareholders with respect to such occasion.
Each Executive is entitled to direct the manner in which the portion of the STC
Stock owned by the Rabbi Trust attributable to his Plan Account is to be voted
on such occasion. Any fractional share of STC Stock attributable to an
Executive’s Plan Account or any STC Stock for which no voting direction is
received shall not be voted.
     (d) In the event of any tender offer for shares of STC Stock held in the
Rabbi Trust attributable to the Plan, the Administrator shall provide each
Executive with notification of such tender offer together with any other
information being provided to Company shareholders in connection with the tender
offer. Each Executive is entitled to

- 7 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

direct whether or not and, if so, to what extent the portion of the STC Stock
held by the Rabbi Trust attributable to his Plan Account is to be tendered in
response to such tender offer. With respect to any STC Stock for which no
direction is received, no action shall be taken.
Section 9. Inter-Employer Reimbursements.
     Although any benefit payments or contributions to the Rabbi Trust hereunder
shall be made by the Company, it shall be determined by the Administrator
whether any portion thereof is allocable to any other Employer on account of its
employment of the applicable Executive. In any such case, the Company shall be
reimbursed by such other Employer in the amount and manner determined by the
Administrator pursuant to uniformly applicable procedures.
Section 10. Non-Alienation of Benefits.
     Neither an Executive nor his designated beneficiaries shall have the power
to transfer, assign, anticipate or otherwise encumber in advance any of the
payments provided in this Plan; nor shall any of said payments, nor any assets
or funds of the Company or any Employer be subject to seizure for the payment of
any of the Executive’s or his beneficiaries’ judgments, alimony or separate
maintenance or be reached or transferred by operation of law in the event of the
bankruptcy or insolvency of the Executive or any beneficiary. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, pursuant to rules comparable to those applicable to
qualified domestic relations orders (“QDROs”), as determined by the
Administrator, the Administrator may direct a distribution, prior to any
distribution date otherwise described in the Plan, to an alternate payee (as
defined under the rules applicable to QDROs).
Section 11. Tax Matters:
     (a) All distributions, payments and benefits under this Plan shall be
subject to all income and employment tax withholdings as required under
applicable federal, state or local tax laws and regulations.
     (b) It is the intention of the Company that this Plan comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any guidance issued thereunder, and
the Plan shall be interpreted, operated and administered accordingly. If an
Executive is a “specified employee” or “key employee” within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code and the Company continues to be or is publicly traded
at the time of the Executive’s separation from service with the Company within
the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, payments under this Plan will not be
made until the earlier of the date that is six months following the Executive’s
separation from service or, the Executive’s date of death, at which time all
delayed payments will be paid as if the six month delay had not occurred.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Company does not
guarantee the tax treatment of any payments or benefits under this Plan, whether
pursuant to the Code or federal, state or local tax laws or regulations.

- 8 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     (c) If, for any reason, all or any portion of an Executive’s Plan Account
under this Plan becomes taxable to the Executive prior to receipt, the
Administrator may distribute to such Executive a portion of his or her Plan
Account:

  (i)   for payment of state, local or foreign taxes and the income tax
withholding related to such state, local and foreign tax amount;     (ii)   for
payment of employment taxes (to the extent necessary to pay the Federal
Insurance Contributions Act tax amount (the “FICA Amount”) and any Federal,
state, local or foreign income tax withholding on the FICA Amount); and/or    
(iii)   required to be included in income as a result of Section 409A of the
Code.

Any distribution under this Section shall affect and reduce the amount to be
paid to the Executive under this Plan.
     (d) The Company shall indemnify the Executive if the Executive incurs
additional tax under Section 409A of the Code as a result of a violation of
Section 409A of the Code under this Plan and/or the Original Plan (an
“Indemnified Section 409A Violation”) that occurs as a result of (1) the
Company’s clerical error (other than an error cause by erroneous information
provided to the Company by the Executive), (2) the Company’s failure to
administer this Plan and/or the Original Plan in accordance with its written
terms (such written terms, the “Plan Document”), or (3) following December 31,
2008, the Company’s failure to maintain the applicable Plan Document in
compliance with Section 409A of the Code; provided, that the indemnification set
forth in clause (3) shall not be available to the Executive if (x) the Company
has made a reasonable, good faith attempt to maintain the applicable Plan
Document in compliance with Code Section 409A but has failed to do so or (y) the
Company has maintained the applicable Plan Document in compliance with
Section 409A of the Code but subsequent issuance by the Internal Revenue Service
or the Department of the Treasury of interpretive authority results in the
applicable Plan Document not (or no longer) complying with Section 409A of the
Code (except that, if the Company is permitted by such authority or other
authority to amend the applicable Plan Document to bring the applicable Plan
Document into compliance with Section 409A of the Code and fails to do so, then
such indemnification shall be provided). 

  (i)   In the event of an Indemnified Section 409A Violation, the Company shall
reimburse the Executive for (1) the 20% additional income tax described in
Section 409A(a)(1)(B)(i)(II) of the Code (to the extent that the Executive
incurs the 20% additional income tax as a result of the Indemnified Section 409A
Violation under this Plan and/or the Original Plan), and (2) any interest or
penalty that is assessed with respect to the Executive’s failure to make a
timely payment of the 20% additional income tax described in clause (1),
provided that the Executive pays the 20% additional

- 9 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

      income tax promptly upon being notified that the tax is due (the amounts
described in clause (1) and clause (2) are referred to collectively as the
“Section 409A Tax”).     (ii)   In addition, in the event of an Indemnified
Section 409A Violation, under this Plan and/or the Original Plan, the Company
shall make a payment (or payments, in the event of an Indemnified Section 409A
Violation under both this Plan and the Original Plan) (the “Section 409A
Gross-Up Payment”) to the Executive such that the net amount the Executive
retains, after paying any federal, state, or local income tax or FICA tax on the
Section 409A Gross-Up Payment(s), shall be equal to the Section 409A Tax. The
Executive shall reasonably cooperate with measures identified by the Company
that are intended to mitigate the Section 409A Tax to the extent that such
measures do not materially reduce or delay the payments and benefits to the
Executive hereunder.

Section 12. Administration.
     (a) The Administrator shall have all such powers that may be necessary to
carry out the provisions of the Plan, including without limitation, the power to
delegate administrative matters to other persons, to construe and interpret the
Plan, to adopt and revise rules, regulations and forms relating to and
consistent with the Plan’s terms, and to make any other determination which he
or she deems necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of
the Plan.
     (b) All decisions and determinations by the Administrator shall be final,
binding and conclusive as to all parties, including without limitation any
Executive and all other employees and persons. The Administrator shall calculate
the supplements in Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof in a manner which avoids
duplicative benefits.
Section 13. Claims Procedures:
     (a) Any claimant believing him/herself to be entitled to benefits under
this Plan may file a written claim for benefits with the Administrator setting
forth the benefits to which he/she feels entitled and the reasons therefor.
Within 90 days after receipt of a claim for benefits, the Administrator shall
determine the claimant’s right, if any, to the benefits claimed, shall give the
claimant written notice of its decision unless the Administrator determines that
special circumstances require an extension of time to process the claim. If such
an extension is required, the claimant will receive a written notice from the
Administrator indicating the reason for the delay and the date the claimant may
expect a final decision, which shall be no more than 180 days from the date the
claim was filed. If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the written notice
shall set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant (i) the
specific reason or

- 10 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

reasons for the denial; (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on
which the denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or
information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation
of why such material or information is necessary; and (iv) an explanation of the
Plan’s appeal procedure and a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an
action under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as it may be
amended, and regulations thereunder (“ERISA”) Section 502(a) following an
adverse determination on appeal.
     (b) Any claimant whose claim for benefits has been denied by the
Administrator may appeal to the Benefits Administrative Committee (or its
delegate) for a review of the denial by making a written request therefore
within 60 days of receipt of a notification of denial. Any such request may
include any written comments, documents, records and other information relating
to the claim and may include a request for “relevant” documents to be provided
free of charge. The claimant may, if he or she chooses, request a representative
to make such written submissions on his or her behalf.
(A) Within 60 days after receipt of a request for an appeal, the Benefits
Administrative Committee (or its delegate) shall notify the claimant in writing
of its final decision. If the Benefits Administrative Committee (or its
delegate) determines that special circumstances require additional time for
processing, the Benefits Administrative Committee (or its delegate) may extend
such 60 day period, but not by more than an additional 60 days, and shall notify
the claimant in writing of such extension. If the period of time is extended due
to a claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the
period for making the benefit determination on appeal shall be tolled from the
date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until
the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional
information.
(B) In the case of an adverse benefit determination on appeal, the Benefits
Administrative Committee (or its delegate) will provide written notification to
the claimant, set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant,
of: (A) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination on appeal;
(B) the specific Plan provisions on which the denial of the appeal is based;
(C) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free
of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of all documents, records, and other
information “relevant” to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and (D) a statement
of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a).
     (c) In the event the claimant is the Administrator, the Benefits
Administrative Committee (or its delegate) shall conduct both the review of the
initial claim for benefits under Section 13(a), as well as the appeal under
Section 13(b).
     (d) For purposes of this Section, a document, record or other information
shall be considered “relevant” to a claimant’s claim if such document, record or
other information: (i) was relied upon in making the benefit determination;
(ii) was

- 11 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

submitted, considered, or generated in the course of making the benefit
determination, without regard to whether such document, record, or other
information was relied upon in making the benefit determination; or
(iii) demonstrates compliance with the administrative processes and safeguards
required in making the benefit determination.
Section 14. Limitation of Rights Against the Employers.
     Participation in this Plan, or any modifications thereof, or the payments
of any benefits hereunder, shall not be construed as giving to any Executive any
right to be retained in the service of the Employers, limiting in any way the
right of the Employers to terminate such Executive’s employment at any time,
evidencing any agreement or understanding express or implied, that the Employers
will employ such Executive in any particular position or at any particular rate
of compensation and/or guaranteeing such Executive any right to receive any
other form or amount of remuneration from the Employers.
Section 15. Construction.
     The Plan shall be construed, administered and governed in all respects
under and by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, except as preempted by ERISA.
Wherever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as
though they were used in the feminine for all cases where they would so apply;
and wherever any words are used herein in the singular or the plural, they shall
be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case
may be, in all cases where they would so apply. The words “hereof”, “herein”,
“hereunder” and other similar compounds of the word “here” shall mean and refer
to this entire document and not to any particular paragraph.
Section 16. Amendment or Termination of the Plan.
     The Board shall have the right to amend, modify, terminate or discontinue
the Plan at any time; and such action shall be final, binding and conclusive as
to all parties, including any Executive, any beneficiary thereof and all other
Employers’ employees and persons, provided that any such termination shall
comply with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
such Board action to terminate or discontinue the Plan or to change the payment
amounts or the time and manner of payment thereof as then provided in the Plan
shall not be effective and operative with respect to benefits accrued as of such
date, unless and until written consent thereto is obtained from each Executive
affected by such action or, if any such Executive is not then living, from the
beneficiary thereof.
Section 17. Relationship to Employment Agreements.
     Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Plan does not affect
the rights of any Executive under any employment or other compensation agreement
with an Employer covering such Executive.

- 12 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Section 18. Successors and Assigns.
     The terms and conditions of the Plan, as amended and in effect from time to
time, shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Employer,
including without limitation any entity into which an Employer may be merged or
with which an Employer may be consolidated.
