                          THE PERKIN-ELMER CORPORATION

                          SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN

        1. Purpose. This Supplemental Retirement Plan (hereinafter referred to
as the "Plan") is intended to provide covered employees with supplemental
retirement benefits from The Perkin-Elmer Corporation (the "Corporation") in
recognition of the additional compensation actually received by such employees
under the terms of the Corporation's Contingent Compensation Plan for Key
Employees and the Incentive Compensation Plan which payments are not included as
compensation for benefit purposes under The Employee Pension Plan of The
Perkin-Elmer Corporation. This Plan is unfunded, noncontributory and is not
qualified under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended.

        2. Participants. All key employees of the Corporation or one of its
United States subsidiaries selected for participation in the Contingent
Compensation Plan for Key Employees or the Incentive Compensation Plan are
automatically Participants in the Plan. A key employee who has become a
Participant under this Plan shall continue to be considered a Participant, for
purposes of this Plan only, so long as the key employee has a right to a benefit
under this Plan.

        3.  Definitions.

        (a) "Compensation" shall mean payments accrued for a current Fiscal Year
            and paid in the subsequent Fiscal Year from the Contingent
            Compensation Plan and the Incentive Compensation Plan. Payments
            accrued as of the last day of the Fiscal Year will count as
            Compensation if a Participant retires on the last day of the Fiscal
            Year but prior to receipt of such payment.

        (b) "Final Average Compensation" shall mean the Participant's average
            Compensation received during the three (3) consecutive Fiscal Years
            out of the ten (10) Fiscal Years prior to and including a
            Participant's termination of employment which produce the highest
            average. Rules governing Final Average Compensation are as follows:

            (i)    Only Fiscal Years commencing after June 30, 1995 shall be
                   counted.

                                                                               1
<PAGE>
            (ii)   Fiscal Years while a Participant during which Compensation is
                   not awarded from the Contingent Compensation Plan and
                   Incentive Compensation shall count as zero for purposes of
                   Compensation and as a Fiscal Year for purposes of averaging.

            (iii)  If a Participant has less than three (3) Fiscal Years
                   Compensation after June 30, 1995, Final Average Compensation
                   shall mean the average of the Compensation received in all
                   Fiscal Years after June 30, 1995 divided by the number of
                   Fiscal Years during which Compensation was accrued unless a
                   Participant meets (ii) above. In which instance, the
                   Participant will have a zero for purposes of Compensation for
                   that Fiscal Year, but a year for purposes of averaging.

        (c) "Fiscal Year" shall mean the period commencing July 1 of each year
            and ending on the following June 30.

        (d) "Pre-July 1, 1995, Accrued Benefit" shall mean the Participant's
            Accrued Annual Retirement Benefit under the terms of the Plan as of
            June 30, 1995 and shall include the accrual for Compensation for the
            Fiscal Year ending June 30, 1995.

        (e) "Years of Service" shall mean continuous service measured from the
            later of July 1, 1995 or the date a Participant first participates
            in the Plan until the first day of the month coincident with or next
            following the Participant's termination of employment. Months of
            service while not a Participant in the Contingent Compensation Plan
            or the Incentive Compensation Plan which occur after initial
            participation in this Plan will not count as continuous service.

        4.  Accrued Annual Retirement Benefit.  A Participant's Accrued Annual
Retirement Benefit payable at age sixty-five (65) in the form of a life annuity
shall be the sum of (a) and (b) where:

        (a) The Participant's pre-July 1, 1995 Accrued Benefit; and

        (b) The product of (i) times (ii) where:

            (i)    one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Participant's Final
                   Average Compensation; and

                                                                               2
<PAGE>

            (ii)   Years of Service.

        5.  Payment of Benefits.  A Participant's accrued annual retirement
benefit will be paid as follows:

        (a) Monthly payments upon retirement at or after the Participant's
            Normal Retirement Date under the terms of The Employee Pension Plan
            of The Perkin-Elmer Corporation, adjusted in accordance with the
            optional form of retirement benefit elected by the Participant under
            that Pension Plan.

        (b) Reduced monthly payments upon early retirement, calculated pursuant
            to terms of The Employee Pension Plan of The Perkin-Elmer
            Corporation, adjusted in accordance with the optional form of
            retirement benefit elected by the Participant under the Pension
            Plan.

        (c) Reduced monthly payments upon commencement of a deferred vested
            pension under the terms of The Employee Pension Plan of The
            Perkin-Elmer Corporation, adjusted in accordance with the optional
            form of retirement benefit elected by the Participant under the
            Pension Plan.

        (d) Upon disability retirement of the Participant under the terms of The
            Employee Pension Plan of The Perkin-Elmer Corporation, with benefits
            commencing at the same time and under the same terms as applicable
            under that Pension Plan.

        (e) Upon the death of the Participant prior to retirement and on or
            after attainment of eligibility for early retirement under The
            Employee Pension Plan of The Perkin-Elmer Corporation, the surviving
            spouse, if any, will receive a monthly benefit under the same terms
            as are applicable under the Pension Plan.

        (f) Upon the death of the Participant prior to retirement and prior to
            attainment of eligibility for early retirement under The Employee
            Pension Plan of The Perkin-Elmer Corporation, the surviving spouse,
            if any, will be entitled to a Surviving Spouse Death Benefit of 50%
            of the Participant's Deferred Vested pension under the Plan in

                                                                               3
<PAGE>

            accordance with the applicable provisions of The Employee Pension
            Plan of The Perkin-Elmer Corporation.

        (g) Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event
            the monthly pension payable under this Plan to any Participant or
            any Contingent Annuitant has a lump sum value less than or equal to
            the sum stated in The Employee Pension Plan of The Perkin-Elmer
            Corporation, the Committee may, but shall not be required to, direct
            that the benefits be payable in one lump sum amount.

            The factors used to determine the lump sum value of a benefit shall
            be the same factors as applicable under that Pension Plan.

        (h) A Participant who does not become entitled to benefits in accordance
            with sub-paragraphs (a) through (g) above will receive no benefits
            under this Plan.

        6. Financing of Benefits. No separate trust, escrow account or any other
similar funding arrangement will be established to prefund the benefits provided
under this Plan. Payment of benefits under this Plan will be a general
obligation of the Corporation payable from the general funds of the Corporation.

        7. Amendment or Termination. The Board of Directors of the Corporation
is authorized to amend or modify this Plan, or to suspend or terminate the Plan
in whole or in part, at any time in its sole discretion. The rights of all
Participants in this Plan shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan as
such Plan shall exist at any given time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, accrued
benefits under this Plan shall not be forfeitable.

        8.  Effective Date.  This Plan shall become effective on August 1, 1979.

        9. Miscellaneous Provisions. This Plan shall be administered by the
Pension Plan Committee of the Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the
"Committee"), appointed in accordance with the provisions of The Employee
Pension Plan of The Perkin-Elmer Corporation. In the administration of this Plan
the following considerations shall be applicable:

        (a)     Except as expressly provided herein, this Plan will be
                administered by the Committee in a manner consistent with the
                provisions of the Contingent

                                                                               4

                Compensation Plan for Key Employees, the Incentive Compensation
                Plan and The Employee Pension Plan of The Perkin-Elmer
                Corporation.

        (b)     No benefit payable under this Plan shall be subject in any
                manner whatsoever to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
                assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge.

        (c)     This Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of
                employment between the Corporation and any Participant for
                any purpose whatsoever.

        (d)     All former Participants in the Contingent Compensation Plan for
                Key Employees who have since retired directly from the
                employment of the Corporation, and who are alive on the
                effective date of this Plan, shall be treated as Participants in
                this Plan. Such former Participants shall be entitled to a
                benefit under this Plan computed as set forth above, with
                payments commencing on the first day of the month following the
                effective date of this Plan.

        10.  Applicable Law.  This Plan shall be construed and its provisions
enforced and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

        11. Payment in the event of Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, if, within three years of a Change in Control, the
employment of a Participant is terminated by the Participant for Good Reason or
by the Corporation without Cause, then the Participant will be entitled to
payment of his accrued annual retirement benefit commencing on or after the date
the Participant attains age 55. The Participant may elect, by written notice to
the Committee at least 30 days in advance, the date on which this benefit
commences and the form of payment of such benefit, which may be any optional
form of benefit permitted under The Employee Pension Plan of The Perkin-Elmer
Corporation. If a Participant's annual retirement benefit commences prior to
what would have been his Normal Retirement Date under the Pension Plan or is
paid in a form other than an annuity for his life only, the amount of such
benefit shall be adjusted in accordance with the adjustments under the Pension
Plan. If the Pension Plan is not in effect on the date benefit payments commence
hereunder, all references in this Section to the Pension Plan shall be
understood to refer to the terms and conditions of the Pension Plan immediately
prior to the date it is terminated.

                                                                               5

        For purposes of this Section:

        (a) A "Change in Control: shall have occurred if (i) any "person" within
the meaning of Section 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 becomes the
"beneficial owner" as defined in Rule 13d-3 thereunder, directly or indirectly,
of more than 25% of the Corporation's Common Stock, (ii) any "person" acquires
by proxy or otherwise, other than pursuant to solicitations by the Incumbent
Board (as hereinafter defined), the right to vote more than 35% of the
Corporation's Common Stock for the election of directors, for any merger or
consolidation of the Corporation or for any other manner or question, (iii)
during any two-year period, individuals who constitute the Board of Directors of
the Corporation (the "Incumbent Board") as of the beginning of the period cease
for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any
person becoming a director during such period whose election or nomination for
election by the Corporation's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least
three-quarters of the Incumbent Board (either by a specific vote or by approval
of the proxy statement of the Corporation in which such person is named as a
nominee for director without objection to such nomination) shall be, for
purposes of this clause (iii) considered as though such person were a member of
the Incumbent Board, or (iv) the approval by the Corporation's stockholders of
the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.

        (b) Termination by the Corporation of the employment of a Participant
for "Cause" shall mean termination upon (i) the willful and continued failure by
the Participant to perform substantially his duties with the Corporation (other
than any such failure resulting from the Participant's incapacity due to
physical or mental illness) after a demand for substantial performance is
delivered to the Participant by the Chairman of the Board or President of the
Corporation which specifically identifies the manner in which such executive
believes that the Participant has not substantially performed his duties, of
(ii) the willful engaging by the Participant in illegal conduct which is
materially and demonstrably injurious to the Corporation.

For purposes of this subparagraph (b), no act, or failure to act, on the part of
the Participant shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be
done, by such Participant in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the
Participant's action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant shall not be
deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been
delivered to such Participant a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the
affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the
Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose (after
reasonable notice to such Participant and an opportunity for him, together with
his

                                                                               6

counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion
of the Board such Participant was guilty of the conduct set forth above in (i)
or (ii) of this subparagraph (b) and specifying the particulars thereof in
detail.

        (c)  Termination by the Participant of employment for "Good Reason"
shall mean termination based on:

        (i) an adverse change in the status of the Participant (other than any
        such change primarily attributable to the fact that the Corporation may
        no longer be publicly owned) or position(s) as an officer of the
        Corporation as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or
        the assignment to the Participant of any duties or responsibilities
        which, in his reasonable judgement, are inconsistent with such status
        position(s), or any removal of the Participant from or any failure to
        reappoint or reelect him to such position(s) (except in connection with
        the termination of the Participant's employment for Cause, total
        disability or retirement on or after attaining age 65 or as a result of
        death or by the Participant other than for Good Reason);

        (ii)  a reduction by the Corporation in the Participant's base salary as
        in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;

        (iii) a material reduction in the Participant's total annual
        compensation; a reduction for any year of over 10% of total compensation
        measured by the preceding year without a substantially similar reduction
        to other executives shall be considered "material"; provided, however,
        the failure of the Corporation to adopt or renew a stock option plan or
        to grant stock options to the Participant shall not be considered a
        reduction; and

        (iv) the Corporation's requiring the Participant to be based more than
        fifty miles from the site to which he regularly reported for work prior
        to the Change in Control, except for required travel on the
        Corporation's business to an extent substantially consistent with the
        business travel obligations which he undertook on behalf of the
        Corporation prior to the Change in Control.

                                                                               7

                                 Purpose of Plan

         Section 2.1 - Purpose. This Plan is designed to provide retirement
benefits payable out of the general assets of the Company where benefits cannot
be paid under the Pension Plan and/or contributions are limited under the
Savings Plan because of the application of Code Section 415 and Code Section
401(a)(17) and the provisions of the Pension Plan and/or the Savings Plan which
implement such sections.

                                                                               3

         Section 3.1 - Eligibility. Any Employee or his Beneficiary shall be
eligible for coverage under this Plan if such Employee is an officer of the
Company or is highly compensated within the meaning of Code Section 414(q).

                                                                               4

                                    Benefits

          Section 4.1 - Amount of Benefits. The benefit payable under this Plan
shall be equal to the sum of the following amounts:

          a)    the benefit, if any, which, when calculated under the Pension
                Plan without taking into account the provisions of the Pension
                Plan dealing with limits on pensions imposed by Code Section 415
                and Code Section 401(a)(17), is in excess of the benefit payable
                to or on behalf of the Employee under the Pension Plan after
                taking into account such provisions; and

          b)    an amount equal to the Automatic Company Contributions and/or
                Company Matching Contributions which would have been allocated
                on behalf of the Employee under Article III of the Savings Plan
                if the limitations of Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 were
                inapplicable, adjusted to take into account investment income
                and gain or loss experienced by Vanguard LifeStrategy Moderate
                Growth Fund of the Savings Plan. Should any Automatic Company
                Contributions and/or Company Matching Contributions be
                inadvertently allocated to the Employee's Account in the Savings
                Plan in excess of the limitations of Section 401(a)(17) and/or
                Section 415, upon correction in the Savings Plan, the Employee's
                account in this Plan will be credited with the actual income and
                gain or loss experienced in the Savings Plan.

          Section 4.2 - Form of Benefit Payments. Benefits payable to or on
behalf of an Employee or his Beneficiary resulting from the provisions of
subsection 4.1(a) shall be paid in monthly installments after adjustment in
accordance with the optional form of benefit payable elected under the Pension
Plan. Benefits payable to or on behalf of an Employee or his Beneficiary
resulting from the provisions of subsection 4.1(b) shall be paid in cash in a
single lump sum or in installments in the form of a term-certain annuity, a
single life annuity or a joint and survivor annuity, or by a combination of such
methods, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

          Section 4.3 - Time of Benefit Payments. Benefits due under this Plan
shall be paid at such time or times following the Employee's termination,
retirement or death as the Committee in its discretion determines.

                                                                               5

          Section 4.4 - Beneficiary in the Event of Death. Upon the death of an
Employee, any remaining benefits due under this Plan to an Employee other than
benefits resulting from subsection 4.1(a) shall be distributed to (1) the
Beneficiary designated by the Employee under this Plan, or if none, (2) the
Beneficiary designated by the Employee under the Pension Plan, or if none, (3)
the Beneficiary designated by the Employee under the Savings Plan, or if none,
(4) the estate of the deceased Employee.

          The designation of Beneficiary under this Plan shall be made on a form
specified by the Committee and may be changed from time to time in the manner
prescribed by the Committee.

         Section 4.5 - Benefits Unfunded. Benefits payable under this Plan shall
be paid by the Company each year out of its general assets and shall not be
funded in any manner.

         Section 4.6 - Vesting. An Employee shall not have a right to a benefit
under this Plan unless:

         a)   for purposes of the Section 4.1(a) benefit, he has five (5) years
              of vesting service under the Pension Plan; and

         b)   for purposes of the Section 4.1(b) benefit, he has completed years
              of vesting service under the Savings Plan in accordance with the
              following schedule:
