Mr. Karl A. Frydryk
9506 Lindner Lane
Dayton, Ohio  45458

Dear Mr. Frydryk:

            The Monarch Machine Tool Company, an Ohio corporation ("Monarch"),
considers the establishment and maintenance of a sound and vital management to
be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of Monarch and its
shareholders. In this connection, Monarch recognizes that, as is the case with
many publicly-held corporations, the mere possibility of a change in control can
raise distracting and disrupting uncertainties and questions among management
personnel, can interfere with their whole-hearted attention and devotion to the
performance of their duties, and can even lead to their departure, all to the
detriment of the best interests of Monarch and its shareholders. Accordingly,
the Board of Directors of Monarch (the "Board") has determined that the best
interests of Monarch and its shareholders would be served by assuring to certain
executives of Monarch and its Affiliates, including yourself, the protection
provided by an agreement which defines the respective rights and obligations of
Monarch and the executive in the event of termination of employment subsequent
to a change in control.

            In order to induce you to remain in the employ of Monarch or an
Affiliate of Monarch, this letter agreement sets forth the severance benefits
which Monarch agrees will be provided to you in the event your employment with
Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch is terminated subsequent to a "change in
control" under the circumstances described below.

            Except where the context otherwise indicates, (i) the term "Monarch"
hereinafter includes Monarch and any Successor to Monarch and (ii) the term
"Affiliate of Monarch" when used herein with reference to your employment means
any entity in which Monarch has, directly or indirectly, a 20% or more equity
interest.

            1. OPERATION AND TERM OF AGREEMENT. This agreement, although
effective immediately, shall not become operative unless and until there has
been a Change in Control (as defined at Paragraph 2). None of the provisions of
this agreement shall be applicable 
<PAGE>   2
THE MONARCH MACHINE TOOL COMPANY

Mr. Karl A. Frydryk

Page 2


to any termination of your employment, however occurring, which is effective
prior to a Change in Control. This agreement shall continue until the later of
December 31, 2001 or two years after the occurrence of a Change in Control,
provided such Change in Control occurs on or before December 31, 2001, subject
to extension beyond that date by mutual consent. Monarch will review this
agreement with you between January 1, 2001 and July 31, 2001, for the purpose of
determining whether or not an extension beyond December 31, 2001 is mutually
agreeable and, if so, on what basis and for how long.

            2. CHANGE IN CONTROL. No benefits shall be payable hereunder unless
there shall have been a Change in Control, as set forth below, and your
employment with Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch shall thereafter have been
terminated in accordance with paragraph 3 below. For purposes of this agreement,
a "Change in Control" shall mean and be deemed to have occurred if (i) any
"person," as such term is defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Act"), other than Monarch or an entity then controlled by
Monarch is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
securities of Monarch representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of
Monarch's then outstanding securities except, however, in determining whether
the 20% threshold has been attained by a particular person, any voting
securities of Monarch which such person acquires directly from Monarch (other
than pursuant to a stock dividend or split) shall not be taken into
consideration in calculating such person's percentage of ownership of the voting
power of Monarch; (ii) any "person" (as such term is defined at Section 13(d) of
the Act) other than Monarch or an entity then controlled by Monarch is or
becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of Monarch
representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of Monarch's then
outstanding securities, including securities such person may have acquired
directly from Monarch; (iii) during any period of two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of
Directors of Monarch (the "Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority thereof unless the election, or the nomination for the election by
Monarch's shareholders, of each new Director was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the Directors then still in office who were Directors at the
beginning of the period; (iv) Monarch merges or consolidates with another
corporation and an entity controlled by Monarch immediately prior to the merger
or consolidation is not the surviving entity or if Monarch is the surviving
entity, holders of 80% or more of the voting power of Monarch immediately prior
to the merger or consolidation do not own, immediately after the merger or
consolidation, 65% or more of the voting power of the surviving entity; or (v) a
sale, lease, exchange, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of Monarch takes place.

            3. TERMINATION FOLLOWING CHANGE IN CONTROL.

             (A) If any of the events described in paragraph 2 constituting a
Change in Control shall have occurred, then upon any subsequent termination of
your employment with Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch at any time within two
years following the occurrence of 
<PAGE>   3
THE MONARCH MACHINE TOOL COMPANY

Mr. Karl A. Frydryk
November 3, 1998
Page 3


such event, you shall be entitled to the benefits provided by this agreement, as
set forth in paragraph 5, unless such termination is (i) directed by Monarch for
Cause or because of your Disability, or (ii) because of your Retirement, or
(iii) by you other than for Good Reason, or (iv) because of your death.

             (B) As used in this agreement, the terms "Cause," "Retirement,"
"Good Reason," and "Disability" shall have the meanings set forth below:

                 (i) Cause. "Cause" shall mean (a) the willful and continued
     failure by you to substantially perform your duties with Monarch or an
     Affiliate of Monarch (other than any such failure resulting from your
     physical or mental illness or other physical or mental incapacity), after a
     demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Board which
     specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that you
     have not substantially performed your duties, or (b) the willful engaging
     by you in gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious
     to Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch resulting or intended to result,
     directly or indirectly, in substantial personal gain or substantial
     personal enrichment at the expense of Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch.
     For purposes of this subparagraph, no act, or failure to act, on your part
     shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by you
     not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your action or
     omission was in the best interests of Monarch. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, Cause shall not be deemed to exist unless and until there shall
     have been delivered to you a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the
     affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the number of Directors
     then in office at a meeting of the Board called and held for that purpose
     (after reasonable notice to you and an opportunity for you, together with
     your counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith
     opinion of the Board you were guilty of conduct set forth above in clauses
     (a) or (b) of the first sentence of this subparagraph and specifying the
     particulars thereof in detail.

                 (ii) Retirement. "Retirement" shall mean cessation of your
     employment in accordance with Monarch's or an Affiliate of Monarch's
     retirement policy (including early retirement) generally applicable to
     salaried employees, or in accordance with any retirement arrangement with
     respect to you established with your consent.

                 (iii) Good Reason. "Good Reason" shall mean:

                        (a) The assignment to you of any duties inconsistent
            with your position, duties, responsibilities and status with Monarch
            or an Affiliate of Monarch immediately prior to a Change in Control
            or a change in your responsibilities, as in effect immediately prior
            to a Change in Control, which materially diminishes your
            responsibilities with Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch when
            considered as a whole, or any removal of you from or any failure 
<PAGE>   4
THE MONARCH MACHINE TOOL COMPANY

Mr. Karl A. Frydryk

Page 4


            to re-elect you to any of such positions or offices; provided, 
            however, that the foregoing shall not constitute Good Reason if done
            in connection with termination of your employment by Monarch or an
            Affiliate of Monarch for Cause or because of your Disability, or by
            you other than for Good Reason.

                        (b) A reduction by Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch of
            your then current annual base salary or, if higher, your annual base
            salary as in effect at the time of the Change in Control.

                        (c) Failure by Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch to
            continue in effect any benefit, incentive compensation, pension,
            employee stock ownership, stock option, life insurance, medical,
            health and accident, or disability plan in which you are
            participating at the time of a Change in Control or plans providing
            you with substantially similar benefits, or the taking of any action
            by Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch which would adversely affect
            your participation in or materially reduce your benefits under any
            of such plans or deprive you of any material fringe benefit enjoyed
            by you at the time of the Change in Control, or the failure by
            Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch to provide you with the number of
            paid vacation days to which you would then be entitled in accordance
            with Monarch's or an Affiliate of Monarch's vacation policy in
            effect at the time of the Change in Control.

                        (d) The relocation of Monarch's principal executive
            offices to a location outside Montgomery County, Ohio, if at the
            time of a Change in Control you are based at Monarch's principal
            executive offices.

                        (e) Monarch's or an Affiliate of Monarch's requiring you
            to be based anywhere other than the location where you are based at
            the time of a Change in Control, if the same requires you to
            relocate your principal residence; or, in the event you consent to
            being based anywhere other than such location, the failure by
            Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch to pay (or reimburse you for) all
            reasonable moving expenses incurred by you relating to a change of
            your principal residence in connection with such relocation and to
            indemnify you against any loss [defined as the difference between
            the higher of (1) your aggregate investment in such residence or (2)
            the fair market value of such residence, as determined by a real
            estate appraiser designated by you and reasonably satisfactory to
            Monarch, and the actual sale price of such residence after the
            deduction of all real estate brokerage charges and related selling
            expenses] realized upon the sale of such residence in connection
            with any such change of residence.

                        (f) The failure of Monarch to obtain the assumption of
            this agreement by any Successor as provided in paragraph 7 hereof.

                        (g) Monarch's or an Affiliate of Monarch's termination
            of your employment without satisfying any applicable requirements of
            paragraph 4 and subparagraph B(i) above.

                (iv) Disability. "Disability" shall mean your inability to
     perform the duties required of you on a full-time basis for a period of six
     consecutive months because of physical or mental illness or other physical
     or mental disability or incapacity, followed by Monarch giving you thirty
     days' written notice of its intention to terminate your employment by
     reason thereof, and your failure because of physical or mental illness or
     other physical or mental disability or incapacity to resume the full-time
     performance of your duties within such period of thirty days and thereafter
     perform the same for a period of two consecutive months.

            (C) During any period of time subsequent to a Change in Control, if
you fail to perform your duties as a result of physical or mental illness or
other physical or mental disability or incapacity, you shall continue to receive
your full salary at your annual base salary rate then in effect, together with
all incentive compensation until you return to work or your employment with
Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch is terminated; provided, however, that any
amount otherwise payable for any period of time pursuant to this subparagraph
(C) shall be reduced by any payment or payments you receive for such period of
time under any employee salary continuation plan or employee disability
insurance plan maintained by Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch no part of the
cost of which was paid or is payable by you.

            (D) If subsequent to a Change in Control, your employment is
terminated by Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch for Cause, Monarch shall pay
you your full salary through the Date of Termination at your annual base salary
rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given, and you shall also
receive all accrued or vested benefits of any kind to which you are, or would
otherwise have been, entitled through the Date of Termination (as defined in
paragraph 4), and Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch shall thereupon have no
further obligation to you under this agreement.

            4. NOTICE AND DATE OF TERMINATION.

            (A) Any termination of your employment subsequent to a Change in
Control shall be consummated by written Notice of Termination given to the other
party. For purposes of this agreement, "Notice of Termination" shall mean a
notice which indicates the specific termination provision or provisions in this
agreement relied upon, if any, and sets forth in 
<PAGE>   6
THE MONARCH MACHINE TOOL COMPANY

Mr. Karl A. Frydryk
November 3, 1998
Page 6


reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of your employment.

             (B) "Date of Termination" shall mean (i) if your employment is
terminated by Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch for Cause, the date specified
in the Notice of Termination or the date on which the meeting of the Board
referred to in subparagraph 3(B)(i) is concluded, whichever date is the later;
or (ii) if your employment is terminated for any other reason, the date on which
Notice of Termination is given or the effective date specified in the Notice,
whichever is later. For purposes of this agreement, termination of your
employment shall be deemed to have occurred within two years following the
occurrence of a Change in Control if the Date of Termination is within such two
year period.

            5. COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION.

            (A) The compensation and benefits to be provided to you pursuant to
paragraph 3 of this agreement upon termination of your employment with Monarch
or an Affiliate of Monarch under specified circumstances within two years
following a Change in Control include the following:

                 (i) Subject to the provisions of paragraph 8 hereof, Monarch
     shall pay to you as severance pay in a lump sum in cash on the fifteenth
     day following the Date of Termination, the following amounts:

                       (a) Your full salary through the Date of Termination at
            your annual base salary rate in effect at the time Notice of
            Termination is given; and also the amount of the award or awards, if
            any, with respect to any completed period or periods which has been
            earned by or awarded to you pursuant to any incentive compensation
            plan or arrangement of Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch but which
            has not yet been paid to you.

                       (b) In lieu of any further salary payments to you for
            periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, an amount (the
            "Additional Compensation Payment") equal to two hundred percent
            (200%) of the greater of (i) the sum of your annual base salary at
            the rate in effect as of the Date of Termination (or, if higher, at
            the rate in effect at the time of the Change in Control) plus an
            amount equal to the average annual amount awarded to you under any
            incentive compensation plan or arrangement for the two years
            immediately preceding the year during which the Date of Termination
            occurs (whether or not fully paid) or (ii) your average annual
            compensation for the five calendar years preceding the calendar year
            in which the Change in Control occurred (it being understood that
            for purposes of this clause (b)(ii), "compensation" means your
            actual salary plus 
<PAGE>   7
THE MONARCH MACHINE TOOL COMPANY

            any amount awarded to you under any incentive compensation plan or
            arrangement).

                       (c) An amount in cash equal to the aggregate spread
            between the exercise prices of all options granted to you under
            Monarch's existing stock option plans or any stock option plan
            adopted by Monarch subsequent to the date hereof ("Options") which
            are then outstanding, whether or not then fully exercisable, and the
            higher of (a) the Fair Market Value of share of Common Stock of
            Monarch ("Monarch Shares") on the Date of Termination or (b) the
            average price per Monarch Share actually paid by the acquiring party
            in connection with any Change in Control. As used in this
            subparagraph, "Fair Market Value" shall mean (1) in the event
            Monarch Shares are listed on any exchange or in the NASD National
            Market System, the last sale price on such exchange or System on the
            Date of Termination (or last trading date prior thereto) or, if
            there are no sales on such date, the mean between the representative
            bid and asked prices for Monarch Shares on such exchange or System
            at the close of business on such date or (2) in the event that there
            is then no public market for Monarch Shares or that trading in
            Monarch Shares is sporadic and the mean between any bid and asked
            prices is not representative of fair market value, the fair market
            value of Monarch Shares determined in accordance with
            Section 2031-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations or any successor
            provision thereto. Any Option for which payment is made as
            prescribed in this subparagraph (c) shall be canceled effective upon
            the making of such payment. In lieu of having your Options canceled
            and being paid the "spread" on such canceled Options in cash as set
            forth in this subparagraph 5(A)(i)(c), you may elect to continue to
            hold any part, or all, of the Options and exercise such Options, if
            you so choose, in accordance with their terms. Any such election to
            continue to hold Options shall be made by giving written notice of
            this election to Monarch within 10 days of your Date of Termination,
            which notice shall specify the date of grant, number of Shares
            subject to the options and option exercise price of the options you
            elect to continue to hold.

                       (d) All legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by
            you in good faith as a result of such termination (including all
            such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing
            any such termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or
            benefit provided by this agreement).

                (ii) Monarch shall, at its expense, maintain in full force and
     effect for your continued benefit all life insurance, medical, health and
     accident plans, programs and arrangements in which you were entitled to
     participate at the time of the Change in Control, provided that your
     continued participation is possible under the terms of such plans, programs
     and arrangements. In the event that the terms of any such plan, program 
<PAGE>   8
THE MONARCH MACHINE TOOL COMPANY

Mr. Karl A. Frydryk

Page 8


     or arrangement do not permit your continued participation or that any such
     plan, program or arrangement has been or is discontinued or the benefits
     thereunder have been or are materially reduced, Monarch shall arrange to
     provide, at its expense, benefits to you which are substantially similar to
     those which you were entitled to receive under such plan, program or
     arrangement at the time of the Change in Control. Monarch's obligation
     under this subparagraph (ii) shall terminate on the earliest of the
     following dates: (a) the month in which you become age 65, (b) the date an
     essentially equivalent and no less favorable benefit is made available to
     you at no cost by a subsequent employer, or (c) the date which is 24 months
     after the Date of Termination.

               (iii) In the event that because of their relationship to you,
     members of your family or other individuals are covered by any plan,
     program, or arrangement described in subparagraph (ii) above immediately
     prior to the Date of Termination, the provisions set forth in subparagraph
     (ii) shall apply equally to require the continued coverage of such persons;
     provided, however, that if under the terms of any such plan, program or
     arrangement, any such person would have ceased to be eligible for coverage
     during the period in which Monarch is obligated to continue coverage for
     you, nothing set forth herein shall obligate Monarch to continue to provide
     coverage for such person beyond the date such coverage would have ceased
     even if you had remained an employee of Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch.

                (iv) Monarch shall enable you to purchase the automobile, if
     any, which Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch was providing for your use at
     the time Notice of Termination was given at the wholesale value of such
     automobile at such time or if the automobile was leased, then at any
     buy-out price provided for in the lease.

            (B) If an event constituting Good Reason shall occur, you shall be
entitled to the compensation and benefits described in (A) above only if you
give a Notice of Termination with respect thereto within 120 days after the
occurrence of such event, regardless of whether there has been an intervening
termination of your employment by Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch or
otherwise.

            (C) You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for in this paragraph 5 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor
shall the amount of any payment provided for in this paragraph 5 be reduced by
any compensation earned by you after the Date of Termination as the result of
employment by another employer or otherwise, except, however, the amount of
payments provided for in paragraph 5 shall be reduced by the amount of any
severance benefits which you are entitled to receive under any other agreement
with, or plan of, Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch.

            6. RIGHTS AS FORMER EMPLOYEE. Nothing contained in this agreement
shall be construed as preventing you, and shall not prevent you, following any
termination of your employment whether pursuant to this agreement or otherwise,
from thereafter participating in any benefit or insurance plans, programs or
arrangements (including without limitation, any retirement plans or programs) in
the same manner and to the same extent that you would have been entitled to
participate as a former employee of Monarch or an Affiliate of Monarch had this
agreement not have been executed, except, however, you shall not be entitled to
any severance payments under any severance pay programs of Monarch or an
Affiliate of Monarch (other than this agreement) if you are paid the benefits
provided for under this agreement.

            7. SUCCESSORS. Monarch shall require any Successor (whether direct
or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of Monarch, by agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to you, to expressly assume and agree to perform this
agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Monarch would be
required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of Monarch
to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of such succession shall be
a breach of this agreement and shall entitle you to compensation from Monarch in
the same amount and on the same terms as you would be entitled hereunder if you
terminated your employment for Good Reason, except that for purposes of
implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes
effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.

            This agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
your personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors,
heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If you should die while any amounts
would still be payable to you hereunder if you had continued to live, all such
amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid to such beneficiary or
beneficiaries as you shall have designated by written notice delivered to
Monarch prior to your death or, failing such written notice, to your estate.

            8. SAVINGS CLAUSE.

            (A) The Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 added Section 280G to the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the "Code"). Section 280G imposes a
20% excise tax on excessive compensation received by, and denies a deduction to
the corporation for the amount of excess compensation paid to, employees who are
officers, shareholders, or highly compensated individuals as a result of a
change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation or in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation. In general,
payments to an individual that are contingent on a Change in Control will not be
treated as excessive if such payments do not exceed three times the average
