                            THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
                          EXECUTIVE DEATH BENEFIT PLAN
                                  (As Amended)

         The Lubrizol Executive Death Benefit Plan (hereinafter referred to as
the "Plan") shall provide death benefits to the designated beneficiaries of
certain executives of The Lubrizol Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the
"Corporation") in accordance with the provisions hereinafter set forth.

         Section 1. Eligibility. Participation in the Plan shall be limited to
those executives of the Corporation who are designated by the Organization and
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (hereinafter
referred to as the "Committee") to participate in the Plan; who complete a
physical examination to the satisfaction of the Corporation as soon as
reasonably possible after being so designated; and who waive participation and
benefits in the basic term-life insurance coverage sponsored by the Corporation
or any of its affiliates, in a form satisfactory to the Corporation. Any
executive so designated shall be listed in Appendix A attached hereto and shall
hereinafter be referred to as a "Participant".

         Section 2. Benefits. Effective July 25, 1994, upon the death of a

rounded to the nearest $1,000.00. Covered Pay for the Participants designated by
the Board to participate in the Plan shall have the meaning as described in

         Section 3. Funding. The obligation of the Corporation to pay benefits
provided hereunder shall be satisfied by the Corporation out of its general
funds. In order to provide a source of payment for its obligations under the
Plan, the Corporation will cause a trust fund to be maintained and/or arrange
for insurance contracts. Subject to the provisions of the trust agreement
governing any such trust fund or the insurance contract, the obligation of the
Corporation under the Plan to provide a benefit shall nonetheless constitute the
unsecured promise of the Corporation to make payments as provided herein, and no
person shall have any interest in, or a lien or prior claim upon, any property
of the Corporation.

         Section 4. Payment of Benefits. Payment of any death benefit under the
Plan shall be made to the decreased Participant's beneficiary in a single lump
sum as soon as practicable after the Participant's death.

         Section 5. Beneficiaries. A Participant may designate any person or
person as a beneficiary (hereinafter referred to as a "Beneficiary") to receive
payment of the death benefit provided under the Plan. Such designation shall be
made in writing in the form prescribed by the plan administrator and shall
become effective only when filed by the Participant with the Corporation. A
Participant may change or revoke his Beneficiary designation at any time by
completing and filing with the Corporation a new Beneficiary designation. If at
the time of the Participant's death there is no Beneficiary designation on file
with the Corporation, or the Beneficiary does not survive to the date of
distribution, the death benefit provided hereunder shall be paid to the
Participant's estate.

         Section 6. Plan Administrator. The Corporation shall be the
administrator of the Plan. The plan administrator shall perform all ministerial
functions with respect to the Plan. The plan administrator shall employ such
advisors or agents as it may deem necessary or advisable to assist it in
carrying out its duties hereunder. The plan administrator shall have full power
and authority to interpret and construe the Plan and shall determine all
questions arising in the administration, interpretation, and application of the
Plan. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

         Section 7. Reduction or Termination of Benefits. The Committee reserves
the right to reduce or eliminate the benefit of any Participant who is dismissed
for cause, or who voluntarily terminates employment to obtain competitive
employment.
