                           THE PROGRESSIVE CORPORATION

                                       %    DUE

         This        is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes,
bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the Issuer (hereinafter called the
"Securities") of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued
under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 15, 1993, as heretofore
supplemented and amended (herein called the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee"),
to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties
and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the
Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different
series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at
different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject
to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different
sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as in the
Indenture provided. This   is one of a series designated as the      % Due
of the issuer, limited in aggregate principal amount to $        .

         In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect
to the      % Due        shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal
hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable,
in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the
Indenture.

         The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the
Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3 % in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding (as defined in the
Indenture) of all series to be affected (voting as one class), evidenced as in
the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the
Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights
of the Holders of the Securities of each such series; provided, however, that no
such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the final maturity of any Security,
or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of any interest thereon, or impair or affect the rights of any Holder to
institute suit for the payment thereof, without the consent of the Holder of
each Security so affected or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities,
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture,
without the consent of the Holder of each security so affected. It is also
provided in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of
Default regarding the Securities of any series, prior to any declaration
accelerating the maturity of such Securities, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Securities of such series may on
behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any such past
default or Event of Default and its consequences. The preceding sentence shall
not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or premium,
if any or interest on any of the Securities. Any such consent or waiver by the
Holder of this (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this
and any   which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective
of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this or such other        .

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this        or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this
in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.

         The        are issuable in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 at the office or
agency of the Issuer, at the office of the Trustee in Boston, Massachusetts, and
in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but
without the payment of any service charge.        may be exchanged for a like
aggregate principal amount of        of other authorized denominations.

         [The        are not subject to redemption at the option of the Issuer
or through the operation of a sinking fund.]
<PAGE>

         Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this        at the
office or agency of the Issuer, at the office of the Trustee in Boston,
Massachusetts, a new        or        of authorized denominations for an equal
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange
therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge
except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

         The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the
Trustee may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of
this       (whether or not this        shall be overdue and notwithstanding any
notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving
payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and, subject to the
provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and
neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the
Issuer in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any        ,
        or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby,
shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as
such, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through
the Issuer or any successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or
constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal
or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived
and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the
issue hereof.

         Terms used herein which are defined in the Indenture shall have the
respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture.

full, true and complete copy of the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Cash Balance Pension
Plan, as amended and restated, as adopted by the Corporate Benefits Committee of

                                    FOREWORD

              Robbins & Myers, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the "Company")
previously adopted the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Cash Balance Pension Plan for
Salaried Employees of Chemineer, Edlon and Pfaudler (the "Chemineer Plan")
effective July 1, 1994. The Company also adopted the Robbins & Myers, Inc.
Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan") effective February 1, 1957. Effective as of
October 1, 1979, the Pension Plan was restated so as to become a Participating
Group Plan, with each Supplement to the Pension Plan constituting a "SIMPLE
plan" within the meaning of Internal Revenue Service regulations
1.414(1)-1(b)(1). The Pension Plan was subsequently amended and restated
effective October 1, 1989, to provide, among other things, for the merger of the
Supplement covering the Fairfield Participating Group into the Supplement
covering the Robbins & Myers, Participating Group.

              Effective October 1, 1999, the Chemineer Plan was amended and
restated, and renamed as the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Cash Balance Pension Plan
("Cash Balance Plan"). Also, effective October 1, 1999, the Pension Plan merged
into the Cash Balance Plan. The Cash Balance Plan is intended to meet the
requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

                             SECTION 1--DEFINITIONS

              As used herein, unless otherwise defined or required by the
context, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings indicated. Some
of the words and phrases used in the Plan are not defined in this Section 1,
but, for convenience are defined as they are introduced into the text.

         1.1 "Account" means the Account established and maintained for each
Participant pursuant to the provisions of Section 3. Such Accounts are intended
to be only bookkeeping accounts and neither the maintenance nor the making of
credits thereto shall be construed as an allocation of assets of the Plan to, or
a segregation of such assets in, any such Account, or otherwise as creating a
right in any person to receive specified assets of the Plan. Benefits provided
under the Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Fund in the amounts,
in the forms and at the times provided under the terms of the Plan.

         1.2 "Accrued Benefit" means, as of the time of reference, an annual
amount of benefit, payable in the form of a single life annuity, commencing on a
Participant's Normal Retirement Date (or, if later, his Late Retirement Date),
which such single life annuity is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Account with
interest credited as provided under subsection 3.3.

         1.3 "Actuarial Equivalent" means a benefit having the same value as the
benefit which it replaces. Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in the Plan,
such benefit shall be computed based on the interest rate, mortality table, and
other factors, if any, as specified in Appendix A. In its approval of any other
actuarially equivalent option to be made available under the Plan, the Committee
shall specify the mortality basis, interest basis, and the basis of any other
factors applicable in the determination of actuarial equivalence under such
options; and such specification shall constitute an addendum to Appendix A of
the Plan.

         1.4 "Actuary" means one or more actuaries chosen by the Company to
provide actuarial services in connection with the administration of the Plan and
who shall be enrolled under Subtitle C of Title III of ERISA.

         1.5 "Affiliate" means the Company and any other company which is
related to the Company as (i) a member of a controlled group of corporations in
accordance with Section 414(b) of the Code, (ii) a trade or business under
common control in accordance with Section 414(c) of the Code, (iii) an
affiliated service group within the meaning of Section 414(m) of the Code, or
(iv) entities required to be aggregated with the Company under Section 414(o) of
the Code. For the purposes under the Plan of determining whether or not a person
is an Employee and the period of employment of such person, each such other
company shall be included only for such period or periods during which such
other company is so a member of a controlled group, affiliated service group or
under common control.

         1.6 "Authorized Leave of Absence" means any absence authorized by an
Employer following standard personnel practices, under uniform rules pursuant to
Section 14.7, and provided that the Participant returns within the period
specified in the Authorized Leave of Absence.

of distribution, the first day of the first period with respect to which an
amount is payable as a benefit pursuant to the Plan; in the case of a lump sum
payment, the date as of which payment is to be made pursuant to the Plan.

         1.9 "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company or its

         1.12 "Compensation" means an Employee's total salary or wages from an
Employer before deductions, including base pay, bonuses, commissions, overtime,
incentive pay provided under an incentive pay plan maintained by his Employer
and any before-tax contributions made under any 401(k) plan or any amount
deferred under Code section 125. Compensation does not include any severance
pay, moving allowance, car allowance, awards or prizes, stock option or SAR
payments, nonqualified deferred compensation, or imputed income under Code
section 79 or 132, or such other similar payments under the Code and regulations
thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Compensation in a Plan Year in excess
of $150,000, subject to adjustment as provided in Code section 401(a)(17), shall
be disregarded for all purposes under the Plan. In determining compensation of
an employee, the rules of section 414(q)(6) of the Code shall apply, except that
in applying such rules, the term "family" shall include only the spouse of the
employee and lineal descendants of the employee who have not attained age 19
years before the close of year. If, as a result of the application of such
rules, the adjusted dollar limitation of section 401(a)(17) of the Code
applicable to family members is exceeded, then such limitation shall be prorated
among the affected individuals in proportion to each such individual's
Compensation as determined under this subsection prior to the application of the
limitation. If compensation of any prior Plan Year is taken into account in
determining an Employee's benefits for the current year, the compensation for
such prior year is subject to the applicable annual compensation limit in effect
for that prior year. A Participant who is Totally and Permanently Disabled
pursuant to section 4.3(a) shall be deemed for purposes of section 3.2 to
receive Compensation during such period of Total and Permanent Disability prior
to attaining age 65 at the same rate of Compensation as was in effect
immediately prior to the commencement of such Total and Permanent Disability.
Effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1996, the family
aggregation rules under the Code are no longer applicable.

<PAGE>

         the calendar year after the calendar year in which he attained age 70

                         In either event, there shall be credited to the
         Participant's Account upon reemployment the amount necessary to restore
         his Account to the amount the Participant had in his Account on the

         shall continue to accrue Service under this Plan (for purposes of

         shall be determined on the basis of his Service before and after the
         date of such transfer. His benefit shall be determined on the basis of
         his Service and Compensation as of the date of transfer and on the

                   SECTION 3--ACCOUNTS AND CREDITS TO ACCOUNTS

         3.1 ACCOUNTS. Except as otherwise provided in the Supplement applicable
to a Participant's Participating Group, an Account shall be established and
maintained for each Participant to which credits shall be made pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 3, subject to the limitations of Section 10. These
Accounts are intended to be bookkeeping accounts only, and neither the
maintenance nor the making of credits to the Account shall be construed as an
allocation of assets of the Plan to, or a segregation of such assets in, the
Account, or otherwise construed as creating a right in any person to receive
specific assets of the Plan. Benefits provided under this Plan shall be paid
from the general assets of the Fund in the amounts, in the forms and at the
times provided under the terms of the Plan.

                                       8
<PAGE>

         3.2 PAY-BASED CREDITS TO ACCOUNTS. Except as provided in Section 3.1 or
Section 3.4, for each calendar month an individual is both a Participant and an
Eligible Employee on and after the Pay Credit Date but prior to the Benefit
Commencement Date, an amount equal to a percentage of his Compensation for such
month will be credited to the individual's Account. The amount of such
percentage, which shall vary depending on the Participant's Employer and on the
number of years of Service standing to the Participant's credit as of the last
day of such month, is set forth in Appendix B, attached.

         3.3 INTEREST CREDITS TO ACCOUNTS. Except as provided in Section 3.1 or
Section 3.4, each Participant's Account shall be increased by a factor equal to
one fourth of the interest credit percentage for the applicable Plan Year as of
the first day of each "Plan Year Quarter" (the three-consecutive-calendar month
period of the Plan Year, beginning on October 1, January 1, April 1 and July 1),
after the Pay Credit Date but prior to the Benefit Commencement Date. Interest
credits granted during a Plan Year Quarter are based on a Participant's Account
balance as of the end of the previous Plan Year Quarter. The interest credit
percentage for the applicable Plan Year commencing after June 30, 1994 shall,
except as is hereafter provided, be equal to the greater of (a) or (b) below:

                   (a) such percentage with respect to such Plan Year as the
         Company may prospectively prescribe and which shall be specified in the
         Plan, or

                   (b) the one-month average of One-Year Treasury Constant
         Maturities as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release
         H.15(519) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, over
         the period from (A) August 1 of the year immediately preceding the
         applicable Plan Year to (B) August 31 of the year immediately preceding
         the applicable Plan Year.

                   If the one-month average is not a multiple of 1/4 percent,
the closest higher interest rate which is a multiple of 1/4 percent shall be
used. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, the interest
credit percentage for a Vested Terminated Participant shall be 3.5 percent and,
if the amount determined under paragraphs (a) and (b) above is less than 3.5
percent, 3.5 percent shall be the interest credit percentage for all
Participants for that Plan Year.

         3.4 LIMITATION ON CREDITS. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3, no credits pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
3 shall be made to the Account of any Participant on and after the Benefit
Commencement Date applicable to such Participant. However, a Participant shall
continue to have amounts credited to his Account pursuant to Sections 3.2 and
3.3 if, during any Plan Year, the Participant is still employed by an Employer
and receives benefits based upon attaining his "required beginning date" in
accordance with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. The additional benefit otherwise
accruing during any such Plan Year by reason of the Participant's continued
employment during that Plan Year shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the
Actuarial Equivalent value of the total benefit payments made to the Participant
during such Plan Year.

         3.5 PRIOR PLAN ACCOUNT. Notwithstanding the above, an account shall be
established and maintained for each Participant who accrued credits under the
Eagle

                                       9
<PAGE>

Industrial Products Corporation Cash Balance Pension Plan. The account shall
consist of assets and liabilities transferred from the Eagle Industrial Products
Corporation Cash Balance Pension Plan to the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Cash Balance
Pension Plan for Salaried Employees of Chemineer, Edlon and Pfaudler and
measured as of October 31, 1997, plus interest. Each such account shall be
increased quarterly by a factor of one-quarter of the interest credit percentage
for the applicable Plan Year. The interest credit percentage for each account
under this paragraph is the same as that described in Section 3.3(b); however,
the rate does not change to 3.5 percent upon termination of employment.

                         SECTION 4--RETIREMENT BENEFITS

         4.1 NORMAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT. Each Participant who retires from
employment on his Normal Retirement Date is entitled to receive a Retirement
Benefit, commencing on his Normal Retirement Date, equal to his Accrued Benefit
as of his Normal Retirement Date, payable as provided in Section 7.

         4.2 LATE RETIREMENT BENEFIT. A Participant who is employed after his
Normal Retirement Date is entitled to receive a Retirement Benefit equal to the
Participant's Accrued Benefit as of his Late Retirement Date. Payment of the
Retirement Benefit will commence on the Participant's Late Retirement Date, in
the form provided in Section 7.

         4.3 DISABILITY RETIREMENT BENEFIT. A Participant may elect either (a)
or (b) below, in the event the Participant becomes Totally and Permanently
Disabled while employed by an Employer prior to attaining his Normal Retirement
Date.

                   (a) The Participant may elect to be treated, for purposes of
         Section 3.2, as though he continued to receive Compensation for the
         duration of the period during which he remains Totally and Permanently
         Disabled (but in no event after his attainment of his Normal Retirement
         Date) at the same rate of Compensation the Participant received
         immediately prior to becoming Totally and Permanently Disabled. If the
         Participant so elects, an Account shall continue to be maintained under
         the Plan on his behalf during such period of Total and Permanent
         Disability, and credits to such Account shall continue to be made for
         the duration of his Total and Permanent Disability in accordance with
         the applicable provisions of Section 3. When the Participant attains
         his Normal Retirement Date, he shall be entitled to receive a
         Retirement Benefit in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1.

                   (b) Alternatively, the Participant may elect: (i) to have his
         Benefit Commencement Date occur as soon as practicable after the date
         on which he becomes Totally and Permanently Disabled. If selected, the
         Participant will receive a benefit as of his Benefit Commencement Date,
         payable as provided in Section 7. The benefit shall be the Actuarial
         Equivalent of his Accrued Benefit as of the date on which he became
         Totally and Permanently Disabled; or (ii) to receive the value of his
         Account as of such Benefit Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, no election pursuant to this subsection 4.3(b)(ii) may be
         made by a married Participant unless the Participant's spouse consents
         to the election. The spousal consent must acknowledge the effect of the
         election, and be witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public.
         A Participant is not entitled to further pay credits if an election is
         made pursuant to this subsection 4.3(b).

                                       10

         4.4 EARLY RETIREMENT BENEFIT. An actively employed Participant who has
attained his 55th birthday may elect to retire prior to his Normal Retirement
Date. In such case, he shall receive a Retirement Benefit, commencing on his
Normal Retirement Date, equal to his vested Accrued Benefit, if any, as of his
Normal Retirement Date, payable as provided in Section 7.

                   In lieu of the Participant's Retirement Benefit commencing on
his Normal Retirement Date, the Participant may elect, at any time on or after
his termination of employment, a reduced Retirement Benefit to commence as of
the first day of any month after the date of his termination but prior to his
Normal Retirement Date. In such case the Participant shall receive a Retirement
Benefit which is the Actuarial Equivalent of his vested Account as of such
Benefit Commencement Date, payable as provided in Section 7.

         4.5 NONDUPLICATION OF BENEFITS. The amount of a Participant's
Retirement Benefits shall be reduced by that portion of any retirement income,
payable from any source other than the Fund, to which he is entitled under any
tax-qualified retirement plan maintained by a member of the Group (other than a
profit sharing plan which is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code) which
is attributable to a period of employment for which he receives a benefit from
this Plan, except that no such reduction shall be made with respect to that part
of such retirement income which is attributable to contributions made by him.
For the purpose of computing the amount of such reduction, any such retirement
income, payment of which is to commence other than at the Employee's Normal
Retirement Date under this Plan, or payment of which is to be made on a basis
other than a retirement income for life, shall be recomputed to its Actuarial
Equivalent value on the basis of a retirement income for life commencing on such
Normal Retirement Date.

               SECTION 5--BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

         5.1 BENEFIT ON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT PRIOR TO RETIREMENT. Except as
is otherwise hereinafter provided, a Participant who terminates employment shall
have a nonforfeitable right to a percentage of his Accrued Benefit in accordance
with the following vesting schedule:

                Completed                      Percentage of
            Years of Service                  Accrued Benefit
            ----------------                  ---------------
             Less than 5                               0%
             5 or more                               100%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant's Accrued Benefit shall be one
hundred percent (100%) vested and non-forfeitable upon the first to occur of:
(i) attainment of age sixty-five (65) while still employed by an Employer or
Affiliate, (ii) termination of employment by reason of Total and Permanent
Disability, or (iii) death. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
subsection, a Participant who accrued service continuously during the period
January 1 through September 30, 1995, will be credited with a full year of
service for that period of time for purposes of determining the Participant's
vested percentage.

                                       11
<PAGE>

                   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the nonforfeitable right to a
percentage of the Accrued Benefit of a Participant covered previously under the
Robbins & Myers, Inc. Cash Balance Pension Plan for Salaried Employees of
Chemineer, Edlon and Pfaudler and who had completed at least three, but fewer
than five, years of Service with the Company prior to December 31, 1999 shall be
as follows:

                          Completed              Percentage of
                      Years of Service          Accrued Benefit
                      ----------------          ---------------

                              3                           20%
                              4                           40%
                              5                          100%

         5.2 COMMENCEMENT OF BENEFITS TO VESTED TERMINATED PARTICIPANTS. Except
as otherwise provided in a Supplement to this Plan, a Participant whose
employment terminates and who is entitled to the benefit specified in the first
paragraph of Section 5.1 above shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Vested
Terminated Participant." Except as is otherwise hereinafter provided, if a
Vested Terminated Participant reaches his Normal Retirement Date, he shall be
entitled to receive a Retirement Benefit, commencing on his Normal Retirement
Date, equal to his vested Accrued Benefit as of his Normal Retirement Date,
payable as provided in Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

                   (a) A Vested Terminated Participant may elect to commence
         receiving benefits as of the first day of any month following the
         attainment of age fifty-five (55) and prior to his Normal Retirement
         Date, in which event he shall be entitled to a Retirement Benefit which
         is the Actuarial Equivalent of his vested Account as of such Benefit
         Commencement Date, payable as provided in Section 7.

                   (b) If the lump sum present value of a Vested Terminated
         Participant's Accrued Benefit as of the date of termination of
         employment is $3,500 or greater (effective for Plan Years beginning
         after August 5, 1997, this amount is increased to $5,000), the
         Participant may elect that such benefit shall be paid to him,
         commencing as soon as practicable thereafter in the form provided for
         in Section 7.2 or Section 7.4, as applicable, or, subject to the
         spousal consent requirements of Section 7.4(c), in a cash lump sum; and

                   (c) If the lump sum present value of a Vested Terminated
         Participant's Accrued Benefit as of the date of his termination of
         employment does not exceed $3,500 ($5,000 for Plan Years beginning
         after August 5, 1997), such benefit shall be paid to him as soon as
         practicable thereafter in a cash lump sum.

                            SECTION 6--DEATH BENEFITS

         6.1 BENEFIT PAYABLE IN THE EVENT OF DEATH BEFORE RETIREMENT BENEFIT
COMMENCEMENT DATE. If a Participant dies before the date payment of his
Retirement Benefit payments begin, a benefit shall be payable to his Beneficiary
as follows:

                   (a) If the Participant's Beneficiary is any person other than
         his Spouse, there shall be paid to such Beneficiary as of the first day
         of the month following the

                                       12
<PAGE>

         month in which the Participant's death occurs an amount equal to the
         value of the Participant's Account as of the last day of the month in
         which the death of the Participant occurs.

                   (b) If the Participant's Beneficiary is his Spouse, the
         Spouse is entitled to receive a Retirement Benefit for her life
         commencing on the first day of any month on or after the date of the
         Participant's death. The benefit to the Spouse shall be a single life
         annuity, payable monthly. The annuity benefit is the Actuarial
         Equivalent of the Accrued Benefit to which such Participant would have
         been entitled had he terminated employment on his date of death, and
         commenced to receive a Retirement Benefit as of such date. The monthly
         amount of the Spouse's benefit shall equal the monthly amount payable
         under a single life annuity where such single life annuity is the
         Actuarial Equivalent of the Retirement Benefit to which such
         Participant would have been entitled had he terminated employment on
         his date of death and commenced to receive a Retirement Benefit as of
         such date. Alternatively, the Spouse may request to receive, in lieu of
         any other benefits under the Plan to which she would otherwise be
         entitled, a distribution of the value of the Participant's Account as
         of his date of death, payable as soon as practicable after the
         Participant's death.

                   (c) The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1 shall apply
         in the case of the death of a Vested Terminated Participant only with
         respect to that portion of his Account (or Accrued Benefit) in which he
         is so vested on his date of death.

         6.2       BENEFICIARY.

                   (a) A Participant who has a Spouse at the date of his death
         shall automatically be deemed to have designated such Spouse as his
         Beneficiary unless (i) the Participant designates a different
         Beneficiary, and the Spouse consents to the designation in writing, or
         (ii) it is established to the satisfaction of the Committee that the
         consent of the Spouse cannot be obtained because the Spouse cannot be
         located or because of other special circumstances.

                       For purposes of this Paragraph (a), the term Spouse
         shall also include an individual to whom the Participant was previously
         married to the extent so required under the terms of a qualified
         domestic relations order (within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the
         Code).

                   (b) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph (a) above, a
         Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive any
         death benefit payable under the Plan (other than amounts which are
         required to be paid to a surviving Spouse). Any such designation shall
         be made, and may be changed or revoked, by filing the appropriate form
         with the Committee. If more than one person is designated each shall
         have an equal share unless the designation directs otherwise. Any
         designation, change or revocation by a Participant shall be effective
         only if it is received by the Committee before the death of such
         Participant. For purposes of this Paragraph (b), the term "person"
         includes an individual, a trust or an estate. If no Beneficiary
         designation is on file with the Committee at the Participant's death,
         or if any designation is not effective for any reason as determined by
         the Committee

                                       13
<PAGE>

         the benefit payable under the Plan shall be paid to such Participant's
         executor or administrator.

                         SECTION 7--PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

         7.1 TIME OF PAYMENT. Payment of any benefit to which a Participant is
entitled pursuant to the Plan shall commence as of such Participant's Benefit
Commencement Date. In no event shall payment of any benefit commence later than
sixty days after the close of the Plan Year during which such Participant
attains, or would have attained, his Normal Retirement Date or, if later,
terminates his employment with the Company or Affiliate provided however,
payment must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which he attains age 70 1/2. Effective for Plan Years beginning
after December 31, 1996, benefit payments must commence for a Participant who:
(I) is a 5% owner (as described in Section 416(i) of the code) no later than the
April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the 5% owner
attains age 70 1/2; or (2) is not a 5-percent owner, no later than the April 1
of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant
attains age 70 1/2, or retires, whichever is later.

         7.2 NORMAL FORM OF BENEFIT. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 7, the normal form of benefit payable to a Participant shall be an
annuity for the life of the Participant.

         7.3 CLAIM FOR BENEFIT. A Participant must file a claim for benefits
before payment of benefits shall commence. The claim for benefits shall be in
writing (in such form as the Corporate Benefits Committee designates) and shall
specify the date on which pension payments are to commence, consistent with the
provisions of the Plan with respect to commencement of benefits. The Participant
shall certify in his claim for benefits whether or not he is married; if he is,
he shall provide the name and date of birth of his Spouse. The certification by
the Participant as to his marital status is binding upon the Participant.

         7.4       QUALIFIED JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY FORM.

                   (a)   IN GENERAL

                         Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section
         7.4, if a Participant is married on the Benefit Commencement Date, the
         amount of each pension payment which otherwise would be payable to the
         Participant, shall be reduced on an Actuarial Equivalent basis. If the
         Participant's Spouse survives the Participant, pension payments shall
         be payable under the Plan to the Participant's surviving Spouse during
         the surviving Spouse's remaining lifetime after the Participant's
         death, in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%), or, if the
         Participant elects, one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant's
         reduced pension payment.

                                       14

                   (b)   ELECTION TO WAIVE THE QUALIFIED JOINT AND SURVIVOR
         ANNUITY FORM

                         A Participant may elect, during the election period
         specified below, to waive the qualified joint and survivor annuity
         form. If the Participant elects to waive the qualified joint and
         survivor annuity, pension payments shall be made in the normal form as
         provided in Section 7.2, or under the optional form selected by the
         Participant in accordance with Section 7.5.

                         An election to waive shall not take effect unless the
         Participant's Spouse consents, in writing, to the election. No consent
         is valid unless the Participant has received a general description of
         the material features, and an explanation of the relative values of the
         optional forms of benefits available under the Plan in a manner that
         satisfies the notice requirements of Section 417(a)(3) of the Code.
         Further, if a benefit is immediately distributable, a Participant shall
         be informed of his right, if any, to defer receipt of the distribution.
         The Corporate Benefits Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive the
         requirement for consent of the Spouse if the Participant establishes to
         the Corporate Benefits Committee's satisfaction that the Spouse cannot
         be located, or because of other special circumstances.

                         An election to waive the qualified joint and survivor
         annuity form may be made at any time within the election period
         beginning on the date which is the 90th day preceding the Participant's
         Benefit Commencement Date and ending on such Benefit Commencement Date.
         A Participant may revoke a waiver of the qualified joint and survivor
         annuity form at any time during the election period.

                         There is no limit on the number of times during the
         election period that a Participant may elect to waive the qualified
         joint and survivor annuity form or revoke a waiver.

                   (c)   EXPLANATION

                         No earlier than 90 days, and no later than 30 days,
         before the Participant's Benefit Commencement Date, the Corporate
         Benefits Committee furnishes the Participant with a written explanation
         of (i) the terms and conditions of the qualified joint and survivor
         annuity form, (ii) the Participant's right to make, and the effect of,
         an election to waive the joint and survivor annuity form of benefit,
         (iii) the rights of the Participant's Spouse to consent, or refuse to
         consent, to such waiver, and (iv) the Participant's right to make, and
         the effect of, a revocation of an election to waive. Effective for Plan
         Years beginning after December 31, 1996, the written explanation
         described in section 417(a)(3)(A) of the Code may be provided after the
         Benefit Commencement Date. The 90-day applicable election period to
         waive the qualified joint and survivor annuity described in section
         417(a)(6)(A) of the Code shall not end before the 30th day after the
         date on which such explanation is provided. The Secretary may, by
         regulations, limit the application of the clause above, except that
         such regulations may not limit the period of time by which the Benefit
         Commencement Date precedes the provision of the written explanation
         other than by providing that the Benefit Commencement Date may not be
         earlier than termination of employment. A Participant may elect (with
         any applicable spousal consent) to waive any requirement that the
         written

                                       15
<PAGE>

         explanation be provided at least 30 days before the Benefit
         Commencement Date (or to waive the 30-day requirement under the above
         paragraph) if the distribution commences more than 7 days afer such
         explanation is provided. The preceding 30-day waiver provision also
         shall apply to any notices subject to the 30-day notice requirement
         (such as a direct rollover notice).

                   (d)   TERMINATION OF MARRIAGE

                         The Spouse to whom the Participant was married at the
         Participant's Benefit Commencement Date is entitled to the survivor
         annuity upon the death of the Participant after the Benefit
         Commencement Date, whether or not the Participant and such Spouse were
         married at the date of the Participant's death.

         7.5       OPTIONAL FORMS OF BENEFIT.

                   (a) Subject to the conditions set forth below, a Participant
         may elect an optional form of benefit provided in this Section 7.5. The
         optional benefit form shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the standard
         form of benefit set forth in Section 7.2. A Participant who is married
         on the Benefit Commencement Date must submit an election to waive the
         qualified joint and survivor annuity form, elected in accordance with
         Section 7.4(b), and which is in effect on the Benefit Commencement
         Date.

                   (b)   The optional forms of benefit are:

                         (1) a single lump sum payment, and

                         (2) a reduced lifetime retirement income. In the event
                   of the Participant's death prior to receiving 120 monthly
                   payments, the same amount of retirement income shall be paid
                   to his Beneficiary, until a combined total of 120 monthly
                   payments have been made. If both the Participant and his
                   Beneficiary die before a total of 120 monthly payments have
                   been made, the monthly retirement income payments will
                   continue to the Beneficiary of the last payee for the
                   remainder of the 120-month period.

         7.6 CASH-OUT OF ACCRUED BENEFIT. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan to the contrary, if the vested value of a Participant's Account as of
the date of his termination of employment does not exceed $5,000 (and has never
exceeded $5,000), such vested Account value shall be paid to him as soon as
practicable thereafter in a cash lump sum. Effective March 22, 1999, the words
"(and has never exceeded $5,000)" are deleted from the Plan.

         7.7 ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTIONS. Notwithstanding any provision of
the Plan to the contrary, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner
prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have any portion of an eligible
rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by
the distributee in a direct rollover. (A direct rollover is a payment by the
Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.)

                   An eligible rollover distribution is any cash distribution of
all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that
an eligible rollover distribution

                                       16
<PAGE>

does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially
equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life
(or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life
expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee's designated beneficiary,
or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent
such distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and the
portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined
without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to
Employer securities).

                   An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement
account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement
annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in
Section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of
the Code, that accepts the distributee's eligible rollover distribution.
However, in the case of an eligible rollover distribution to the surviving
Spouse, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or
individual retirement annuity.

                   A distributee includes an employee or former employee. In
addition, the employee's or former employee's surviving Spouse and the
employee's or former employee's Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate
payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p)
of the Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the Spouse or
former Spouse.

                   Effective for calendar years beginning January 1, 2000, an
eligible rollover distribution described in Code Section 402(c)(4), which the
Participant can elect to roll over to another plan pursuant to Code Section
401(a)(31), excludes hardship withdrawals, if any, under the Plan, as defined in
Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV), which are attributable to the Participant's
election contributions under Treasury Reg. 1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(ii).

                            SECTION 8--CONTRIBUTIONS

         8.1 CONTRIBUTIONS BY PARTICIPANTS. The entire cost of this Plan shall
be borne by the Company and the Employers and no contributions shall be required
or permitted of Participants.

         8.2 CONTRIBUTIONS BY EMPLOYERS. The Company and any Affiliates intend,
but do not guarantee, to make such contributions as are required to maintain the
Fund, established for the purposes of the Plan, on a sound actuarial basis.
Contributions will be in such amounts and made at such times as determined by
the Company in accordance with the funding policy established by the Board an
consistent with Plan objectives. The payment of the benefits under this Plan is
not guaranteed in any manner by the Company, any Affiliate, or any of its
officers, board of directors, agents, the Corporate Benefits Committee or the
Funding Agent.

                   All contributions made by the Company and Affiliates shall
become a part of the Fund and shall be held by the Funding Agent subject to the
terms and provisions of the Plan.

                                       17
<PAGE>

                   Forfeitures arising under the Plan because of termination of
employment before a Participant becomes eligible for a Retirement Benefit, or
for any other reason, shall be applied to reduce the cost of the Plan and shall
not be used to increase the benefits otherwise payable hereunder.

                   No part of the Fund shall be used for, or diverted to,
purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Employees (and their
Beneficiaries), except that such part of the Fund, if any, which remains therein
after the satisfaction of all liabilities to persons entitled to benefits under
the Plan, as described in Section 9.3 hereof with respect to termination of the
Plan, shall be returned to the Company.

                   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the
request of the Company or an Employer, a contribution which was made by a
mistake of fact, or conditioned upon qualification of the Plan or any amendment
thereof or upon the deductibility of the contribution under Section 404 of the
Code, shall be returned to the Company or the Employer within one (1) year after
the payment of the contribution, the denial of the qualification or the
disallowance of the deduction (to the extent disallowed), whichever is
applicable. Any obligation of the Company or the Employers to make contributions
to the Fund hereby is conditioned upon the continued qualification of the Plan
under Section 401(a) of the Code, the exempt status of the Fund under Section
501(a) of the Code, and each contribution made by the Company or an Employer
hereby is conditioned upon its deductibility under Section 404(a)(1) of the
Code.

                      SECTION 9--AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

         9.1 GENERAL AMENDMENT. The Corporate Benefits Committee may amend the
Plan at any time, by action of a majority of its members at a meeting or by
unanimous written consent in lieu of meeting. The Company, the Employers, the
Corporate Benefits Committee and all Participants, Beneficiaries and other
persons will be bound by those amendments. However, no amendment may increase
the duties or liabilities of the Trustee, the Company or an Affiliate without
its written consent, and no amendment may authorize or permit any part of the
Trust Fund to be used for or diverted to any purpose other than the exclusive
benefit of Participants or their Beneficiaries, and for defraying the reasonable
expenses of administering the Plan and Trust. The Corporate Benefits Committee
specifically reserves the right to make any amendment designed to comply, or to
eliminate any uncertainty of compliance, with the Code, ERISA, any other laws
relating to qualified employees' trusts or any regulations or rulings issued
under those laws, even though accrued benefits are eliminated or reduced
retroactively.

         9.2 AMENDMENT OF VESTING SCHEDULE. If the Plan is amended to provide a
different vesting schedule, each person adversely affected:

                  (a) who is a Participant during the election period below; and

                  (b) who has completed at least three years of Service before
         that period ends;

may elect to have the amendment disregarded in determining his vested amount.
The election must be in writing and delivered to the Corporate Benefits
Committee within the

                                       18
<PAGE>

election period. Upon delivery, the election will be irrevocable. The election
period begins on the date the amendment is adopted and ends 60 days after the
latest of the date:

                  (c) the amendment is adopted;

                  (d) the amendment becomes effective; or

                  (e) the Corporate Benefits Committee delivers a written notice
         of the amendment to the Participant.

No amendment to the Plan's vesting schedule may decrease the vested amount which
any Participant has earned as of the date of the amendment.

         9.3 TERMINATION OF THE PLAN AND TRUST. Upon termination or partial
termination of the Plan as to any Employer or other group of Participants or
complete discontinuance of contribution to the Plan, the rights of the
Participants who are employed by each Employer or a nonparticipating member of
the Group on the date of termination or discontinuance (and who in the case of a
partial termination are affected thereby) to their accrued benefits under the
Plan to the date of such termination shall be nonforfeitable to the extent then
funded; provided, however, that in no event shall any Participant or beneficiary
have recourse to other than the Trust Fund and, if applicable, the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation. In the event of a termination, an affected
Participant who is not eligible to receive a normal or early retirement benefit
shall be deemed to be vested. In the case of a complete termination of the Plan,
the assets then held in the Trust Fund shall be allocated, after payment of all
expenses of administration or liquidation, in the manner prescribed by ERISA
section 4044. If any assets remain, they shall revert to the Company.
Distribution may be implemented through the continuance of the Trust Fund, the
creation of a new retirement fund for that purpose, by the purchase of
nontransferable annuity contracts, a cash distribution, or a combination
thereof, subject to the requirements of the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation. The Committee may terminate the Trust at any time without
terminating the rights and obligations of the Group hereunder, but only in order
to provide another method of funding the benefits under the Plan. In the event
of such termination of the Trust, the Trustee shall distribute the Trust Fund to
another trust or trusts, qualified under Code section 501(a), or otherwise fund
the benefits under the Plan qualified under Code section 401 through an
insurance company, as directed by said Committee, provided that said Committee
shall not so direct in a manner which results in discrimination within the
meaning of the Code as determined by the Internal Revenue Service.

         9.4 MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR TRANSFER. In the case of any merger or
consolidation of the Plan with, or in the case of any transfer of assets or
liabilities of the Plan to or from any other plan, each Participant in the Plan
shall (if the Plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the
merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit
he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger,
consolidation, or transfer (if the Plan had then terminated).

                       SECTION 10--LIMITATIONS OF BENEFITS

                                       19
<PAGE>

         10.1 MAXIMUM ANNUAL BENEFITS. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Plan to the contrary, the maximum annual benefit provided under this Plan
(together with that provided by all other defined benefit plans of the
Affiliates) for any Participant for a limitation year, which shall be the
calendar year, shall not exceed the lesser of (a) or (b) below:

                   (a) $90,000, or the smaller Actuarial Equivalent of the
         benefit payable at the Participant's Social Security Retirement Age if
         payments begin before that age, or the larger Actuarial Equivalent of
         the benefit payable at that age if payments begin after that age; or

                   (b) an amount equal to 100 percent of the annual average of
         the highest three consecutive calendar years of Compensation paid to
         him by the Employer during his active participation in this Plan.

                   If the Participant's annual benefit begins before his Social
Security Retirement Age, but on or after age 62, the actuarial adjustment for
such benefit referred to in paragraph (1) above shall be determined by reducing
the dollar limitation by five-ninths of 1 percent for each of the first 36
months by which the Benefit Commencement Date precedes the Social Security
Retirement Age, and by five-twelfths of 1 percent for each of the next 24
months, if any, by which the Benefit Commencement Date precedes the Social
Security Retirement Age.

                   For benefits commencing prior to age 62, an additional
adjustment shall be made to the benefit which could otherwise have been payable
commencing at age 62, as set forth under Section 10.2. If the annual benefit
begins after a Participant's Social Security Retirement Age, the annual benefit
for such benefit referred to in paragraph (1) above shall be adjusted so that it
is the actuarial equivalent of an annual benefit beginning at the Participant's
Social Security Retirement Age. The interest rate assumption shall be based on
an interest rate of 5 percent. The benefits payable with respect to a
Participant shall not be deemed to exceed the limits of this section if (1) the
Participant's annual benefit does not exceed $10,000 and (2) he did not
participate in any defined contribution plan maintained by an Affiliate;
provided, however, if such Participant has fewer than ten years of Service, the
Participant's highest three consecutive years of compensation, the alternative
$10,000 limitation, and the limitations of Section 415(e) of the Code shall be
reduced by one-tenth for each Year of Service less than 10. The amount in (1)
above, and the amount in (2) above for a Participant who has terminated his
employment with all Affiliates, shall be automatically adjusted annually for
increases in the cost of living as follows: as of January 1 of each calendar
year, the dollar limitation as determined by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue for that calendar year will become effective as the maximum permissible
dollar amount for that calendar year. The maximum permissible dollar amount for
a calendar year applies to limitation years ending with or within that calendar
year. The requirement of ten years of Service shall apply with respect to each
change in benefit structure under the Plan, as required by section 415(b)(5) of
the Code and the regulations thereunder.

         10.2      EARLY TERMINATION PROVISIONS.

                                       20
<PAGE>

                   (a) The purpose of this Section 10.2 is to conform the Plan
         to the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(c)-1 and
         Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(4)-5(b).

                         (1) In the event of the termination of the Plan, the
                   benefit of any highly compensated employee (within the
                   meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code) shall in no event
                   exceed an amount that is nondiscriminatory under Section
                   401(a)(4) of the Code.

                         (2) The annual payments to an Employee described in
                   Section 10.2(a)(iii) may not exceed an amount equal in each
                   year to the payments that would be made on behalf of the
                   Employee under a straight life annuity that is the Actuarial
                   Equivalent value of the Employee's Accrued Benefit and the
                   other benefits to which the Employee is entitled under the
                   Plan (other than a Social Security supplement), and the
                   amount of the payments that the Employee is entitled to
                   receive under a social security supplement.

         10.3 ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS. Effective for Plan Years beginning on or
after January 1, 1995, to determine (i) a Participant's "annual benefit" (under
section 415(b)(2)(A) of the Code), when paid in an alternate form of benefit
(under section 415(b)(2)(B) of the Code) and (ii) the adjustment to the $90,000
limit for benefits commencing before or after a Participant's Social Security
retirement age (under section 415(b)(2)(C) and (D) of the Code), the Plan shall
use the actuarial assumptions specified under section 415(b)(2)(E) of the Code,
which are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing section 415(b)(2)(E)
actuarial assumptions shall apply to all benefits under the Plan (including
those benefits accrued before and after the RPA 1994 section 415 effective
date). For purposes hereof, the RPA 1994 section 415 effective date is the first
limitation year beginning on or after January 1, 1995. The applicable interest
rate shall be the annual rate of interest on 30-year Treasury securities (as
published by the Secretary of the Treasury) for the second full calendar month
(lookback month) which precedes the Plan Year (stability period) that includes
the Benefit Commencement Date of the Participant or beneficiary. The applicable
mortality table shall be the table currently prescribed for purposes of section
415(b)(2)(E)(v) and 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(1) of the Code (the 1983 GAM Table
specified in Rev. Rul. 95-6).

         10.4 COMBINATION DEFINED BENEFIT AND DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
LIMITATIONS.

                   If the Employer maintains one or more qualified defined
contribution plans (and any other qualified defined benefit plans), for a
Participant who is covered by another of the plans as well, the sum of the
defined benefit plan fraction and the defined contribution plan fraction for any
Limitation Year may not exceed 1.0.

                   The "defined benefit plan fraction" is a fraction, the
numerator of which is the projected annual benefit of the Participant under the
Plan (determined as of the close of the Limitation Year), and the denominator of
which is the lesser of (i) the maximum dollar limit for such Limitation Year
under section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code times 1.25, or (ii) the amount which may
be taken into account under section 415(b)(1)(B) of the Code for the Limitation
Year times 1.4.

                                       21
<PAGE>

                   The "defined contribution plan fraction" for any Limitation
Year is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the annual additions
(as defined in section 415(c)(2) of the Code) to the Participant's account as of
the close of the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the sum of the
lesser of the following amounts determined for such year and for each prior year
of Service with the Employer: (i) the maximum dollar limit under section 415(c)
of the Code for such year times 1.25 or (ii) the amount which may be taken into
account under section 415(c)(1)(B) of the Code for the Limitation Year times
1.4.

                   Effective for Limitation Years beginning after December 31,
1999, the combined defined contribution plan and defined benefit plan
limitations are eliminated.

         11.1 DESIGNATION OF FIDUCIARIES. The persons designated in Sections
11.2, 11.3 and 11.5, and the persons they designate to carry out or help to

Trust. Each fiduciary has only those duties or responsibilities specifically
assigned to him under the Plan or Trust or delegated to him by another
fiduciary. Each fiduciary may assume that any direction, information or action
of another fiduciary is proper and need not inquire into the propriety of any
such action, direction or information. Except as provided by law, no fiduciary
will be responsible for the malfeasance, misfeasance or nonfeasance of any other
fiduciary. Any fiduciary may participate in the Plan, provided he otherwise is
eligible to do so. Except as permitted by law, no Employee or director shall
receive any compensation from the Plan or Trust for his services as a fiduciary.

performed by it under the Plan, or it may rely on the Employer's statement. If
the Corporate Benefits Committee wants any statement, certified, it may rely on
a certification of the Company, Employer or any Affiliate, as appropriate.

         11.7 INDEMNIFICATION. All fiduciaries designated in Section 11.1 other
than a bank or trust company or any insurance company acting as a Trustee and
anyone else delegated any power, authority or responsibility under this Article,
have all rights of indemnification provided by law or agreement or under the
Company's Articles of Incorporation, regulations or by-laws. In addition, the
Employer will satisfy any liability actually and reasonably incurred by all
fiduciaries, other than a bank or trust company or an insurance company acting
as Trustee, including expenses, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement, in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed
action, suit or proceeding related to their exercise or failure to exercise any
of the powers, authority, responsibilities or discretion provided under the Plan
and the Trust, or reasonably believed by them to be provided thereunder, any
action taken by them in connection with those matters if they acted in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interest of the Plan, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if
they had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful.

         11.8 DISCRIMINATION PROHIBITED. In exercising any discretionary or
absolute authority under the Plan, the Corporate Benefits Committee will act in
a consistent and nondiscriminatory manner, treating all persons in similar
circumstances in a similar manner. The Corporate Benefits Committee may take no
action which would discriminate in favor of Participants, Beneficiaries or
Employees who are officers, shareholders or highly-compensated employees, or
which would result in benefiting one employee or group of employees at the
expense of others similarly situated.

         11.9 REPRESENTATION IN PROCEEDINGS. In any court proceeding arising
under the Plan, the Corporate Benefits Committee will be the representative of
the Participants, Beneficiaries and all other claiming any interest under the
Plan.

         11.10 TIME OF DELIVERY. Any information, forms of election, rejection
or other materials required to be filed or delivered by a Participant or
Beneficiary to the Company, an Employer or any fiduciary will be deemed filed or
delivered when received. Any consents, approvals, information, requests for
information or other materials required to be filed or delivered to a
Participant or Beneficiary by the Company, the Employer for any fiduciary will
be deemed filed or delivered on the earlier of the date of personal delivery or
the date deposited in first class mail. Any information or other materials
required to be filed or delivered to the Company, an Employer or any fiduciary
by the Company, an Employer or any fiduciary will be deemed filed or delivered
when actually received.

         11.11 APPEALS FROM DENIAL OF CLAIMS. If any claim for benefits under
the Plan is wholly or partially denied, the claimant shall be given notice, in
writing, within a reasonable period of time after receipt of the claim by the
Plan (not to exceed 90 days after receipt of the claim or, if special
circumstances require an extension of time, written notice of the extension
shall be furnished to the claimant, and an additional 90 days will be considered

                                       25

reasonable), by registered or certified mail, of such denial, written in a
manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, setting forth the following
information:

                  (a) the specific reasons for such denial;

                  (b) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which
         the denial is based;

                  (c) 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

                   (d) an explanation of the Plan's claim review procedure. The
         claimant also shall be advised that he or his duly authorized
         representative may request a review by the Committee of the decision
         denying the claim by filing with the Committee, within 60 days after
         such notice has been received by the claimant, a written request for
         such review, and that he may review pertinent documents and submit
         issues and comments in writing within the same 60-day period. If such
         request is so filed, such review shall be made by the Committee within
         60 days after receipt of such request, unless special circumstances
         require an extension of time for processing, in which case the claimant
         shall be so notified, and a decision shall be rendered as soon as
         possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for
         review. The claimant shall be given written notice of the decision
         resulting from such review, which notice shall include specific reasons
         for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by
         the claimant, and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions
         on which the decision is based.

                    SECTION 12--ADOPTION OF PLAN BY EMPLOYERS

         12.1 PROCEDURE. Any Employer may adopt this Plan for the benefit of its
Employees, with the consent of the Corporate Benefits Committee. In adopting
this Plan, the Employer may, with the consent of the Committee, elect to provide
for some benefits to be under a special formula for some or all of its
employees. Such benefit variations will be detailed in addenda which are deemed
a part of this Plan with respect to such Employees. The Employer desiring to
adopt the Plan shall submit a certified copy of the resolution of its board of
directors to the Company, stating its desire to adopt said Plan for its
Employees and the effective date thereof. All contributions made by the Company
and each Employer shall become a part of the Fund and shall be held by the
Funding Agent subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan.

         12.2 EFFECT. In addition to subjecting it to the provisions of this
Plan, the adoption of the Plan and Fund by the Employer's Board of Directors
shall also constitute the automatic delegation by it to the Corporate Benefits
Committee of full authority to amend, alter or modify the Plan, and any such
amendment, alteration or modification made by the Corporate Benefits Committee
shall be binding upon and effective with respect to each Employer.

         12.3 WITHDRAWAL OF AN EMPLOYER. Any Employer shall, upon ceasing to be
an Employer, or may, without ceasing to be an Employer, through the action of
its Board of Directors, withdraw from the Plan.

                                       26

<PAGE>

                          SECTION 13--SUCCESSOR COMPANY

         13.1 SUCCESSOR COMPANY. In the event of the dissolution, merger,
consolidation or reorganization of the Company, provision may be made by which
the Plan and Fund will be continued by the successor; and, in that event, such
successor shall be substituted for the Company under the Plan. The substitution
of the successor shall constitute an assumption of Plan liabilities by the
successor and the successor shall have all of the powers, duties and
responsibilities of the Company under the Plan.

                         SECTION 14--GENERAL PROVISIONS

         14.1 CONSTRUCTION. In the construction of the Plan the masculine shall
include the feminine and the singular the plural in all cases where such meaning
would be appropriate. The headings and sub-headings in this Plan (other than in
Section 1) have been inserted for convenience of reference only, and are to be
ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof. All references to specific
sections of the Code are references to such sections as contained in the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Title 26 of the United States Code), and shall be
deemed to be references to such sections as they may be amended or superseded,
and to the corresponding sections or provisions, if any, of any subsequent
United States Code, as appropriate at the time of reference. Except as required
by ERISA or any other applicable law of the United States of America, the Plan
and Fund shall be construed, governed, regulated and administered according to
the laws of the State of Ohio.

         14.2 EMPLOYMENT. Participation in the Plan shall not give any Employee
the right to be retained in the employ of an Employer, or, upon dismissal or
upon his voluntary termination of employment, to have any right, legal or
equitable, under this Plan or in the Fund or any portion thereof, except as
expressly granted by this Plan.

         14.3 BENEFITS SUPPORTED ONLY BY FUND. Except as may be otherwise
provided under Title IV of ERISA, any person having any claim under the Plan
will look solely to the assets of the Fund for the satisfaction thereof and the
Company, the Employers, the Corporate Benefits Committee, the Funding Agent, or
any of their stockholders, officers, members of their boards of directors, or
agents, shall not be liable in their individual capacities to any person
whomsoever.

         14.4 SPENDTHRIFT CLAUSE. No benefit under the Plan shall be subject in
any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance or charge, and any attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void, and no such
benefit shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, liabilities,
engagements or torts of the person entitled to such benefit, except as
specifically provided in the Plan. Any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary notwithstanding, however, the creation, assignment, or recognition of a
right to any benefit payable with respect to an Employee pursuant to a
"qualified domestic relations order" (as defined in subsection 414(p) of the
Code) shall not be treated as an assignment or alienation prohibited by this
Section 14.4, and if a qualified domestic relations order requires the
distribution of all or part of an Employee's benefits under the Plan, the
establishment or acknowledgment of the alternate payee's right to benefits under
the Plan

                                       27

<PAGE>

in accordance with the terms of such qualified domestic relations order
shall in all events be deemed to be consistent with the terms of the Plan.

         14.5 BENEFITS PAYABLE TO INCOMPETENTS. If any recipient of benefits is,
in the judgment of the Corporate Benefit Committee, legally incapable of
personally receiving and giving a valid receipt for any payment due him under
the Plan, the Corporate Benefits Committee may, unless and until claims shall
have been made by a duly appointed guardian or committee of such person, make
such payment or any part thereof to such person's Spouse, children, or other
legal entity deemed by the Corporate Benefits Committee to have incurred
expenses or assumed responsibility for the expenses of such person. Any payments
so made shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such
payment.

         14.6 EXPENSES. The Company and/or the Employers may pay all expenses
incurred in the administration of the Plan, including expenses and fees of the
Funding Agent, but they shall not be obligated to do so. Any such expenses and
fees not so paid by the Company and/or the Employers shall be paid from the
Fund.

         14.7 NON-DISCRIMINATION. The Corporate Benefits Committee shall
administer the Plan and Fund in a uniform and consistent manner with respect to
all persons similarly situated and shall not permit discrimination in favor of
highly compensated employees (within the meaning of section 414(q) of the Code).

         14.8 PURCHASE OF ANNUITY CONTRACTS. Notwithstanding any provision of
the Plan to the contrary, any benefit specified herein may be provided, by
direction from the Corporate Benefits Committee to the Funding Agent, through
the means of an annuity contract purchased from such life insurance company as
the Committee may direct.

         14.9 FAILURE OF PLAN TO QUALIFY. No right or interests under the Plan
shall come into existence for an Employer unless and until the Plan is initially
determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be a qualified plan with respect
to such Employer under Section 401(a) of the Code, and that the Fund is exempt
from tax under Section 501(a) thereof, provided however, that until the Internal
Revenue Service reaches a determination respecting the status of this Plan and
Fund with respect to an Employer, persons who retire, or whose service is
otherwise terminated subsequent to the Effective Date, shall receive their
benefits as if the Plan and Fund had been the subject of a favorable
determination.

         14.10 SPECIAL RULES RELATING TO VETERANS' REEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS UNDER
USERRA. Effective December 12, 1994, notwithstanding any provision of this Plan
to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to
qualified military service will be provided in accordance with section 414(u) of
the Internal Revenue Code.

               SECTION 15--IN THE EVENT THE PLAN BECOMES TOP-HEAVY

         15.1 SPECIAL DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Section 15, the
following terms shall have the following meanings:

                                       28

<PAGE>

         who is a "key employee" as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code.

                   (c) "Determination Date" means, with respect to any Plan
         Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year, except that the
         Determination Date with respect to the first Plan Year shall be the
         last day of that Plan Year.

                   (d) "Plan Year" has the meaning set forth in Section 1.26.

                   (e) "Present Value of Accrued Benefits" means, as of a given
         Determination Date, the present value, as of the most recent Valuation
         Date which is within a 12-month period ending on the Determination
         Date, of the benefits accrued under the Plan as of such Valuation Date
         with respect to a Participant determined as if such Participant
         terminated service as of such Valuation Date. The determination of the
         Present Value of Accrued Benefits shall be based on the actuarial
         assumptions used by the Plan's actuary in the actuarial valuation as of
         such Valuation Date.

                   (f) "Required Aggregation Group" means with respect to a
         given Plan Year, this Plan and all other plans of the Group which, in
         the aggregate, meet the requirements of the definition contained in

                   (g) "Valuation Date" means, with respect to a given Plan
         Year, the same valuation date used for computing Plan costs for minimum
         funding purposes, regardless of whether a valuation is performed that
         year.

                   (h) "Permissive Aggregation Group" means, with respect to a
         given Plan Year, this Plan and all other plans of the Group which may
         be aggregated in accordance with Section 416(g)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code.

                   (i) "Top-Heavy" means, with respect to the Plan for a Plan
         Year (1) that the Present Value of Accrued Benefits of Key Employees
         exceeds 60% of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits of all
         Participants, or (2) the Plan is part of a Required Aggregation Group
         and such Required Aggregation Group is a Top-Heavy Group, unless the
         Plan or such Top-Heavy Group is itself part of the Permissive
         Aggregation Group which is not a Top-Heavy Group.

                   (j) "Top-Heavy Group" means, with respect to a given Plan
         Year, a group of Plans of the Employer which, in the aggregate, meet
         the requirements of the definition contained in Section 416(g)(2)(B) of
         the Code. If there are two or more defined benefit plans, the actuarial
         assumptions used to determine if there is a Top-Heavy Group must be the
         same for all Plans within the group.

         15.2 SPECIAL TOP-HEAVY RULES. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions of this Section 15.2 shall
automatically become operative and shall supersede any conflicting provisions of
the Plan, if, in any Plan Year, the Plan is Top-Heavy.

                                       29

<PAGE>

                   (a) The minimum monthly normal retirement income for a
         Participant who is not a Key Employee, commencing at his Normal
         Retirement Date, shall equal the lesser of (i) product of (1) 2% of his
         average monthly Compensation during his five highest-paid consecutive
         calendar years of Service, multiplied by (2) the number of his years of
         Service after August 1, 1986 (to a maximum of 10 such years),
         disregarding for this purpose any such year during which the Plan is
         not Top-Heavy.

                   (b) In the event of the termination of employment (other than
         by death or retirement) of a Participant who had completed at least
         three years of Service, such Participant shall be 100% vested and shall
         be entitled to retirement income commencing on his Normal Retirement
         Date, determined in accordance with Section 4.1 (or, if greater
         subsection (a) above).

                   (c) For any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top-Heavy,
         Compensation means an amount, determined by application of Treasury
         Regulation ss.1415-2(d), and shall in no event exceed $150,000 or such
         higher amount in effect in accordance with such applicable provisions
         of the Code.

                   (d) If the Plan becomes Top-Heavy and subsequently ceases to
         be such, the vesting schedule in subsection (b) above shall continue to
         apply in determining the rights to benefits of any Participant who had
         at least three years of Service as of the last day of the last Plan
         Year in which the Plan was Top-Heavy. For other Participants, said
         schedule shall apply only to their accrued benefits as of such last day
         of such Plan Year.

                   (e) In order to comply with the requirements of Section
         416(h) of the Code, in the case of a Participant who is or has also
         participated in a defined contribution plan of the Company (or any
         other company required to be aggregated with the Company in accordance
         with Section 415(h) of the Code) in any Plan Year in which the Plan is
         Top-Heavy there shall be imposed the following limitation in addition
         to any limitation which may be imposed in accordance with Section 10.
         In any such year, for purposes of satisfying the aggregate limit on
         contributions and benefits imposed by Section 415(e) of the Code,
         benefits payable from the Plan shall, except as hereinafter provided,
         be reduced so as to comply with a limit determined in accordance with
         Section 415(e) of the Code, but based on the assumption that the number
         1.0 is substituted for the number 1.25 in the definition of the
         "defined benefit plan fraction" (as defined in Section 415(e)(2) of the
         Code) and in the "defined contribution plan fraction" (as defined in
         Section 415(e)(3) of the Code). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
         application of the additional limitation set froth in this subsection
         (e) would result in the reduction of accrued benefits of any
         Participant under this Plan, such additional limitation shall not
         become operative, so long as (1) no additional Company contributions,
         forfeitures or voluntary nondeductible contributions are allocated to
         such Participant's accounts under any defined contribution plan
         maintained by the Company and (2) no additional benefits accrued to
         such Participant under any defined benefit plan maintained by the
         Company, including this Plan. Accordingly, in any Plan Year that the
         Plan is Top-Heavy, no additional benefits shall accrue under this Plan
         on behalf of any Participant whose overall benefits under this Plan
         would otherwise be reduced in accordance with the limitation imposed by
         this subsection (e).

                   (f) In the event that Congress should provide by statute, or
         the Treasury Department should provide by regulation or ruling, that
         the limitations provided in this Section 15 are no longer necessary for
         the Plan to meet the requirements of Section 401 or other applicable
         provisions of the Internal Revenue Code in effect, such limitations
         shall become void and shall no longer apply, without the necessity of
         further amendment to the Plan.

                                   APPENDIX A

           Specified Basis for Determination of Actuarial Equivalents

Except as otherwise specified in the Plan, Actuarial Equivalents shall be
determined on the following basis:

      1.   Mortality Table--the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table, weighted 50%
           males and 50% females, shall be used for converting an Account for an
           Early or Normal Retirement Benefit. The UP 1984 Table, as published,
           shall be used to determine optional forms of benefits provided under
           the Plan.

      2.   Interest Rate--(a) the rate for converting an Account for an Early or
           Normal Retirement Benefit for an active employee will be the 30-year
           Treasury rate for the month of August preceding the beginning of the
           Plan Year;

                  (b) the interest credit rate for Vested Terminated
           Participants will be 3.5 percent;

                  (c) for all other purposes, the rate will be 7 percent, except
           that when calculating lump sum benefits the rate set forth in
           paragraph (a) above will be used.

      3.   Other Factors--None.

                          COVERING PARTICIPATION OF THE

                  ROBBINS & MYERS, INC. CORPORATE EMPLOYEES AND
                       MOYNO INDUSTRIAL SALARIED EMPLOYEES

         The following Robbins & Myers, Inc. Participating Group is covered by
the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Cash Balance Plan on the following basis:

         1. NAME OF PARTICIPATING GROUP: Robbins & Myers, Inc. Corporate
Employees and Moyno Industrial Salaried Employees Participating Group.

         2. GROUP OF COVERED EMPLOYEES: All corporate employees of Robbins &
Myers, Inc. and Moyno Industrial salaried employees who either (1) were covered
under the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Pension Plan as of September 30, 1999, or (2)
would have become eligible to participate in the Pension Plan as of December 31,
1999.

         3. EFFECTIVE DATE. October 1, 1999.

         4. ACTUARIAL EQUIVALENT. Notwithstanding Section 1.3 of the Plan, for
members of this Participating Group only, Actuarial Equivalent means a benefit
having the same value as the benefit which it replaces. Except as otherwise
provided in the Plan, such benefit shall be computed on the bases of the 1971
Group Annuity Mortality Table, weighted 80 percent male and 20 percent female,
and on a 7 percent interest assumption.

               Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of determining single sum
cash settlements, the interest rate used shall be as follows:

               (1) effective prior to January 1, 2000, the immediate and
         deferred rate which would be used (as of the first day of the Plan Year
         in which the distribution occurs) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty
         Corporation (PBGC) for purposes of determining the present value of a
         lump sum distribution upon the termination of a defined benefit plan;
         provided, however, that if using that rate, a lump sum benefit is
         determined to be at least $25,000, the benefit will be recalculated
         using an interest rate of 120 percent of the PBGC rate described above;

               (2) effective on or after January 1, 2000, the 1983 Group Annuity
         Mortality (GAM) unisex table as specified in Rev. Ruling 95-6) with an
         interest rate equal to the annual rate of interest on 30-year Treasury
         securities for the second full calendar month (August) which precedes
         the Plan Year in which the distribution is made.

         5. REEMPLOYMENT/DURATION OF PARTICIPATION. Notwithstanding Section 2.2
of the Plan, for members of this Participating Group only, a Participant who
terminates employment with the Employer and is reemployed shall become a
Participant immediately upon reemployment, and no further distribution shall be
made to the Participant until the Participant subsequently terminates employment
after his rehire. In the event a Participant's employment conditions change so
that he no longer qualifies as an Eligible

<PAGE>

Employee under this Supplement, he shall become an Inactive Participant as of
the date the change occurs. An Inactive Participant who again becomes eligible
to participate under this Supplement One shall immediately become a Participant
under this Supplement.

         6. EARLY RETIREMENT AGE means the following, for members of this
Participating Group only. For a Participant credited with at least one Hour of
Service on or after October 1, 1989, his attainment of age 55 and completion of
at least 5 years of Vesting Service. For any other Participant, Early Retirement
Age means age 55 and completion of at least 10 years of Vesting Service.

         7. EARLY RETIREMENT DATE means, for members of this Participating Group
only, (a) the first day of the calendar month coincident with or next following
the date on which a Participant's vesting service terminates because of his
early retirement on or after he has attained his Early Retirement Age but not
his Normal Retirement Age, or (b) if, prior to such date, he makes application
for an early retirement benefit to begin on the first day of any month
thereafter on or before his Normal Retirement Age, it shall be such later date
when the benefit is to begin.

         8. NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE means, for purposes of this Participating
Group only, either (a) for Eligible Employees who became Participants in the
Robbins & Myers, Inc. Pension Plan or this Plan on or after October 1, 1988, the
later of (i) the Participant's sixty-fifth birthday, or (ii) the fifth
anniversary of the Participant's initial date of participation in the Robbins &
Myers, Inc. Pension Plan or this Plan; or (b) for Eligible Employees who became
Participants in the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Pension Plan prior to October 1, 1988,
the Participant's sixty-fifth birthday.

         9. VESTED TERMINATION AGE means, for purposes of this Participating
Group only, the Participant's age when he has completed at least five years of
Vesting Service as defined below, prior to his Early Retirement Age.

         10. COMPENSATION, for purposes of this Participating Group only, shall
exclude bonuses.

         11. COVERED COMPENSATION. The average (without indexing) of the Social
Security Wage Bases (Social Security Wage Base means, with respect to any Plan
Year, an amount equal to the maximum compensation on which Federal Social
Security taxes would be applicable on the first day of such Plan Year, whether
or not such compensation is, in fact, subject to such tax) in effect for each
calendar year during the 35-year period ending with the last day of the calendar
year preceding the calendar year in which the Participant attains (or will
attain) his Social Security Retirement Age. (Social Security Retirement Age
means the age used for retirement age under Section 216(l) of the Social
Security Act, except that such section shall be applied with regard to the age
increase factor and as if the early retirement age under Section 216(l)(2) of
that Act were 62.) Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, effective for the
Plan Year beginning on October 1, 1995, the 35-year period described above shall
end with the last day of the calendar year in which the Participant attains (or
will attain) his Social Security Retirement Age. In determining a Participant's
Covered Compensation for a Plan Year, the Social Security Wage Base for the
current Plan Year, and any subsequent Plan Year, shall be assumed to be the same
as the

Supplement One                                                         Page 2

<PAGE>

Social Security Wage Base in effect as of the beginning of the Plan Year for
which the determination is being made.

         12. CREDITED SERVICE. Credited Service is used to determine the amount
of a Participant's benefit. A Participant shall receive credit for Credited
Service in the following manner:

               (a)  Vesting Service shall first be reduced by

                           (1) Vesting Service for any period prior to his
                  becoming a Participant;

                           (2) Vesting Service for any period between a
                  Severance from Service (the date an Employee quits, retires,
                  dies or is discharged; or the first anniversary of the first
                  day of an Employee's absence from employment for any reason
                  other than if the Employee quits, retires, dies or is
                  discharged) and reemployment as an Employee;

                           (3) Vesting Service for any period during which he is
                  an Inactive Participant.

               (b) After applying the reductions in subsections (1)-(3) above, a
         Participant shall receive credit for Credited Service equal to his
         remaining Vesting Service, up to a maximum of 35 years.

               (c) Employees whose employment with the Employer is continued
         without interruption from a predecessor employer shall have the period
         of their employment with such predecessor employer considered as
         Credited Service under the Plan to the extent determined by the
         Committee. If a Participant incurs a Disability, the period of
         Disability is included as Credited Service (as well as Vesting
         Service). Such a disabled Participant shall incur a severance from
         Service on the earlier to occur of (1) the cessation of his Disability
         without a return to work or (2) his actual Retirement Date. The term
         Disability means a demonstrable injury or disease which qualifies a
         Participant to receive disability benefits under either a long-term
         disability program offered by the Employer or the U.S. Social Security
         Act. The determination of Disability shall be made by the Committee on
         the basis of medical advice and examination of other facts known to it.

         13. VESTING SERVICE. A Participant shall receive credit for Vesting
Service for his period of employment with an Employer on the following basis:

               (a) Vesting Service shall be determined in completed full years
         and fractions of years in excess of completed full years. Each full 12
         months of Vesting Service equals a full year of Vesting Service, and
         any fraction of Vesting Service in excess of a full year will be
         covered to the nearest 1/12th of a year.

               (b) A Participant shall receive credit for Vesting Service equal
         to Vesting Service he had under the predecessor plan prior to October
         1, 1979, for employment prior to that date. Subsequent to October 1,
         1979, the Participant

Supplement One                                                         Page 3
<PAGE>

         shall receive credit for Vesting Service from the later of October 1,
         1979, or his date of hire, to the later of his Severance from Service
         or the end of the third month of an Authorized Leave of Absence.

         14. FINAL AVERAGE EARNINGS. Final Average Earnings means the average
monthly Compensation of a Participant during any 60-consecutive-month period for
which his Compensation shall be the highest, selected from the
120-consecutive-month period preceding his termination of employment as an
Employee, excluding any part of such 120-month period during which no
Compensation was paid to the Participant. Effective August 1, 1999, Final
Average Earnings shall be based on any 60-month period, selected from the
120-consecutive-month period preceding the Participant's termination of
employment, in determining a Participant's highest level of Compensation. For
purposes of this paragraph, average monthly Compensation for a calendar year is
determined by dividing the calendar year Compensation by the number of months
(rounded to the nearest quarter month) worked.

         15. NORMAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT. A member of this Participating Group who
terminates employment on or after attaining Normal Retirement Age is eligible to
receive a Normal Retirement benefit under the Plan. The normal form of payment
for an unmarried Participant is a life annuity. For a married Participant, the
normal form of payment is a qualified joint and 55% survivor annuity. The
monthly normal retirement benefit is equal to (a) one percent of Final Average
Earnings plus 4/10 of one percent of Final Average Earnings in excess of the
Participant's Covered Compensation, multiplied by (b) the Participant's years of
Credited Service. The product of (a) and (b) shall be added to the product of
$5.00 times the Participant's years of Vesting Service (supplemental benefit).
Vesting Service shall be limited to no more than 35 years. In no event shall the
amount computed under this section be less than the early retirement benefit
computed under paragraph 16. Monthly normal retirement benefit payments are
payable, and shall begin, as of the Participant's Normal Retirement Date, and
shall be paid monthly thereafter. If the Participant returns to employment with
an Affiliate, his benefit payments shall cease and shall not be paid or accrue
during such period of employment, but shall resume upon termination of his
reemployment for any reason other than death, after having been adjusted to
provide for additional benefit accruals.

         16. EARLY RETIREMENT BENEFIT.

               (a) A Participant or Inactive Participant whose Vesting Service
         terminates on or after attaining his Early Retirement Age, but before
         Normal Retirement Age, shall be eligible to receive an early retirement
         benefit determined in the same manner as a Normal Retirement benefit.
         For purposes of the early retirement benefit, the normal retirement
         benefit in effect at the date the Participant terminates employment
         shall be reduced by one-half of one percent for each full month by
         which the Participant's first benefit payment precedes the first day of
         the calendar month coincident with, or next following, his sixty-fifth
         birthday. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the sum of the
         Participant's age and Vesting Service is at least 90, the benefit
         described above shall be reduced by one-quarter of one percent for each
         full month by which the Participant's first benefit payment precedes
         the first day of the calendar month coincident with or next following
         the Participant's sixty-fifth birthday. Any supplemental benefit
         described herein which

Supplement One                                                         Page 4

<PAGE>

         is based on Vesting Service is not payable until the first day of the
         calendar month coincident with or next following the Participant's
         sixty-fifth birthday and shall not be reduced for early commencement of
         payments. Monthly early retirement benefit payments shall be payable as
         of the Participant's Early Retirement Date.

               (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, in the case of an
         individual who was a Participant on September 30, 1989, his early
         retirement benefit shall not be less than the early retirement benefit
         under the Robbins & Myers, Inc. Pension Plan in effect on that date.

               (c) A Participant employed by the Moyno Industrial Products
         Division who has attained age 56 and elects to retire effective
         September 1, 1999 shall be eligible to receive an early retirement
         benefit under the Pension Plan. The monthly benefit for a Participant
         who meets the requirements of the preceding sentence shall be
         calculated in accordance with (a) above, as though the Participant
         retired at age 62.

               (d) Monthly early retirement benefit payments are payable, and
         shall begin, as of the Participant's Early Retirement Date, and shall
         be paid monthly thereafter during the Participant's lifetime. If the
         Participant returns to employment with an Affiliate, his benefit
         payments shall cease and shall not be paid or accrued during the period
         of reemployment, but the Vesting Service and Credited Service the
         Participant had at the time of his retirement shall be reinstated. Upon
         subsequent retirement, the Participant's eligibility and its amount
         shall be calculated and paid as though the Participant was then first
         retired based upon such reinstated Vesting Service and Credited
         Service, plus such service earned following the date of reemployment.
         Such amount shall not be less than the amount of the Participant's
         early retirement benefit payments he would have received prior to
         reemployment and his Normal Retirement Age.

         17. DEFERRED VESTED TERMINATION BENEFIT. A Participant whose Vesting
Service terminates for any reason other than death, after the Participant has
attained his Vested Termination Age, shall be entitled to receive a deferred
vested retirement benefit equal to an amount determined in the same manner as
the monthly early retirement benefit in effect at the date the Participant
terminates employment. The provision in the early retirement benefit providing
an for the lesser reductions to the early retirement benefit when the sum of the
Participant's age at early retirement and Vesting Service equals 90 or more
shall not apply to these deferred vested terminated Participants.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any supplemental benefit described in this
Supplement is not payable until the first day of the calendar month coincident
with or next following the Participant's sixty-fifth birthday, and will not be
reduced for early payment. Monthly deferred vested retirement payments shall
begin as of the Participant's Vested Termination Date, and shall be paid monthly
thereafter for the life of the participant. If a Participant receiving such
benefit payments returns to work with an Affiliate, before or after the date his
benefits begin, benefit payments shall cease and shall not be paid or accrued
during the period of reemployment. The Participant shall have his Vesting
Service and Credited Service reinstated. Upon subsequent retirement, the
Participant's eligibility for a benefit and the amount of the benefit shall be
calculated and paid as if the Participant were then first retired, based upon
such reinstated Vesting Service and Credited Service plus the service earned
following the

Supplement One                                                         Page 5
<PAGE>

date of employment. This benefit shall be actuarially reduced, but not below the
amount of the Participant's original monthly benefit, to account for any
deferred vested retirement benefit payments received prior to reemployment and
prior to Normal Retirement Age.

         18. AUTOMATIC PRERETIREMENT SURVIVOR ANNUITY FOR ACTIVE MARRIED VESTED
PARTICIPANTS.

               (a) Notwithstanding Section 6.1 of the Plan, for members of this
         Participating Group, a Participant's surviving Spouse shall be eligible
         to receive a preretirement survivor annuity if the Participant has
         attained his Vested Termination Age or other Retirement Age, dies
         before his Benefit Commencement Date, and either dies while actively
         employed by the Company, dies while receiving Credited Service during a
         period of Disability or dies after attaining his Early Retirement Date
         but prior to his Benefit Commencement Date. Preretirement survivor
         annuity benefits will not be payable to the surviving Spouse unless the
         Participant and surviving Spouse had been married through a one-year
         period ending on the earlier of the Participant's Benefit Commencement
         Date or his death.

               (b) The monthly amount of the surviving Spouse benefit payable
         to a Spouse under subsection (a) shall be equal to:

                    (1) Fifty-five percent (55%) of the reduced amount of the
               monthly Normal or Early Retirement benefit computed under this
               Supplement One, which the deceased Participant would have been
               entitled to receive beginning as of his Normal or Early
               Retirement Date, or

                    (2) Fifty-five percent (55%) of the reduced amount of the
               Participant's vested retirement benefit computed under Paragraph
               17 of Supplement One, which the deceased Participant would have
               been entitled to receive upon attaining his 55th birthday, if he
               had retired on the day immediately preceding the day on which he
               died with a post-retirement surviving Spouse benefit coverage in
               effect. Such reduced amount shall be computed giving effect to
               the cost of the fifty-five percent joint and survivor annuity
               form of payment under Paragraph 11 of Supplement One.

                    (3) In the event the Participant dies prior to attaining age
               65, the surviving Spouse benefit payable to the Spouse shall be
               increased as of the first of the month following the date the
               Participant would have attained age 65 to account for any
               supplemental benefit which the Participant would have received
               had he attained age 65.

               (c) The monthly surviving Spouse benefit shall be payable to the
         Spouse for life beginning as of the first day of the calendar month
         coincident with or next following the later to occur of the date of the
         Participant's death or the date the Participant would have attained age
         55; provided, however, that the Spouse may, by written consent filed
         with the Committee, elect commencement as of the first day of any month
         thereafter, but not later than the first of the month following the
         date the Participant would have attained age 65.

         19. AUTOMATIC ELECTION OF PRERETIREMENT SURVIVOR ANNUITY BY MARRIED
TERMINATED VESTED MEMBERS.

               (a) A married Participant or Inactive participant who has
         attained his Vested Termination Age or other Retirement Age, with at
         least one Hour of Service on or after August 23, 1984, and whose
         Vesting Service terminates thereafter, shall be deemed to have elected
         automatically a reduced amount of monthly retirement benefit payable to
         him, with the provision that if his Spouse shall be living at the
         effective date of the election and also at his death after such
         election shall have become effective, the surviving Spouse benefit
         shall be payable to such Spouse. Notwithstanding the preceding
         sentence, this section shall not apply to a Participant who (1) is
         actively employed by the Company or an Affiliate on January 1, 1985,
         (2) dies while actively employed by the Company or an Affiliate, (3)
         dies while receiving Credited Service during a period of Disability, or
         (4) dies after he has attained Early Retirement Age, but prior to his
         Benefit Commencement Date (the date on which a Participant's Normal,
         Early or Deferred Vested Retirement Benefit is due to commence under
         the terms of this Supplement One).

                    (1) The automatic election provided in this section 19 shall
               become effective, provided the Participant is then living, on the
               latest to occur of: (A) 12 months after the date of the
               Participant's marriage; (B) the date the Participant attains his
               Vested Termination, Early or Normal Retirement Age; or (C) at the
               time the Participant's Vesting Service terminates.

                    (2) Such election shall be automatically revoked under the
               following circumstances: (A) in the event that either (i) the
               Spouse dies before the Participant or (ii) the Participant
               becomes divorced from the Spouse, except that upon the
               Participant's remarriage after the event in (i) or (ii), such
               automatic election shall again apply; (B) the date the
               Participant is reemployed by the Employer or an Affiliate; or (C)
               on the Benefit Commencement Date applicable to the Participant's
               retirement benefit.

                    (3) The automatic election may be waived by the Participant
               in writing after its effective date, but before the date the
               election is automatically revoked under (2) above, in accordance
               with rules adopted by the Committee. The election period
               applicable to such waiver by a terminated vested Participant
               shall begin on the date the Participant's Vesting Service
               terminates and shall end on the Participant's date of death.

                    (4) An election to waive the preretirement survivor annuity
               shall not take effect unless the Participant's Spouse irrevocably
               consents in writing to such election, which consent specifies
               that any further waiver by the Participant shall only be with
               Spousal consent, and such consent acknowledges the financial
               effect of such election. Spousal consent to a waiver of the
               preretirement survivor annuity shall not be required if the
               Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Committee that
               such consent may not be obtained because there is no Spouse,
               because the Spouse cannot be located, because the Participant is
               legally separated from the Spouse or has been abandoned, or

               because of such other circumstances as the Secretary of the
               Treasury may, by regulation, prescribe.

                    (5) If the Participant has filed a specific written waiver
               of such election, he may revoke such waiver at any time during
               the period in which he could waive such election, by executing a
               revocation form and filing it with the Committee. Further, a
               subsequent specific written waiver of the automatic election may
               then be made in accordance with paragraphs (3) and (4) above.

         (b)   AMOUNT OF BENEFITS.

                    (1) If Participant Survives to Benefit Commencement Date.
               The reduced amount of the monthly retirement benefits payable to
               a terminated Participant at retirement (and accordingly under
               Section 20, if applicable), if he does not die prior to the
               Benefit Commencement Date, shall be equal to an amount determined
               by applying to the monthly retirement benefit otherwise payable
               to the Participant a "Reduction Percentage" for the number of
               complete months during which the coverage is in effect. The
               Reduction Percentage shall be .0083 percent per month (one-tenth
               of 1 percent per year) for Participants under age 45, .0333
               percent per month (four-tenths of 1 percent per year) for
               Participants ages 45 through 54, and .0667 percent per month
               (eight-tenths of 1 percent per year) for Participants ages 55
               through 64. On and after October 1, 1994, the reduction described
               above shall apply only with respect to individuals who are Former
               Participants. There shall be no Reduction Percentage in effect
               for any month prior to the date the Committee provides notice to
               the Participant of his and his Spouse's right to waive the
               preretirement surviving Spouse annuity.

                    (2) If Participant Dies While Option is in Effect. The
               monthly amount of the surviving Spouse benefit payable to a
               Spouse eligible therefor pursuant to paragraph (1) above if the
               Participant dies during the period the preretirement option is in
               effect after the effective date of the election but before such
               Participant's Benefit Commencement Date under Section 15, 16, or
               17 shall be equal to--

                          (A)55 OR OLDER. Fifty-five percent (55%) of the
                    reduced amount of the monthly Normal or Early Retirement
                    Benefit computed under the provisions of Section 15 or 16
                    which the deceased Participant would have been entitled to
                    receive beginning as of his Normal or Early Retirement Date,
                    or

                          (B)UNDER AGE 55. Fifty-five percent (55%) of the
                    reduced amount of the Participant's Vested Retirement
                    Benefit computed under the provisions of Section 17 which
                    the deceased Participant would have been entitled to receive
                    at or after his fifty-fifth birthday, whichever the
                    Participant was eligible for on the date his Vesting Service
                    terminated, if he had retired on the day immediately
                    preceding the day on which he died, with the post-retirement
                    surviving Spouse benefit coverage in effect under Section
                    20. Such reduced amount shall be computed after giving
                    effect to the cost of

Supplement One                                                         Page 8

                  the preretirement election under this Section 19 for the
                  period during which the option was in effect and for the 55
                  percent joint and survivor form of payment under Section 20.
                  In the case of a Participant who dies prior to having attained
                  age 65, the surviving Spouse benefit payable to the Spouse
                  shall be increased as of the first of the month following the
                  date the Particpant would have attained age 65 in order to
                  reflect any supplemental benefit which would have been
                  received by the Participant.

               (c) The monthly surviving Spouse benefit shall be payable to the
         Spouse for life, beginning as of the first day of the calendar month
         coincident with or next following the later to occur of the date of the
         Participant's death or the date the Participant would have attained his
         55th birthday. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the surviving Spouse may
         elect to defer commencement of the benefit until the first day of the
         month following the date the Participant would have attained age 65.

20.      AUTOMATIC POST-RETIREMENT (JOINT AND SURVIVOR) BENEFIT.

               (a) In lieu of the monthly retirement benefit otherwise payable
         under this Supplement One, a married Participant who begins to receive
         Normal, Early or Deferred Vested Retirement Benefits under Paragraphs
         15, 16 or 17 above shall be deemed to have elected automatically a
         reduced monthly benefit payable to him. A surviving Spouse benefit
         shall be payable to the Spouse (Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity)
         if the Spouse is living at the Participant's death and after the
         election is effective. This benefit shall not apply if a Participant
         dies before his Benefit Commencement Date.

               (b)  The automatic election is effective on the Participant's
         Benefit Commencement Date.

               (c) A Participant may waive this automatic election in writing on
         a form approved by the Committee. The waiver is not effective unless
         consented to, in writing, by the Participant's Spouse, and filed within
         the 90-day period ending on the Participant's Benefit Commencement
         Date. A Participant may revoke the waiver at any time during the 90-day
         waiver period. The Committee shall provide a written explanation of the
         benefit within 30-90 days before the Participant's Benefit Commencement
         Date. Such waiver by the Participant shall not take effect unless the
         Participant's Spouse consents, in writing, to the waiver. Spousal
         consent shall not be required if the Participant establishes, to the
         satisfaction of the Committee, that such consent may not be obtained
         because there is no Spouse or the Spouse cannot be located. A
         Participant may revoke such waiver at any time by executing a
         revocation form and filing it with the Committee.

               (d) The reduced amount of the Participant's benefit under this
         paragraph is equal to ninety percent (90%) of the benefit otherwise
         payable to the Participant in the form of a life annuity. The benefit
         shall be reduced further by one-half percent (.5%) for each year the
         Participant's age exceeds his Spouse's age, and increased by the same
         percentage for each year the Spouse's age exceeds the Participant's
         age. There shall not be any reduction of any supplemental benefit
         payable after age 65 under Paragraphs 15,16 and 17 above.

<PAGE>

               (e) The benefit payable to the surviving Spouse of a Participant
         who makes the automatic election under this paragraph is a monthly
         benefit equal to fifty-five percent (55%) of the reduced amount of the
         Participant's monthly retirement benefit or supplemental benefit. The
         monthly surviving Spouse benefit is payable to the Spouse for life,
         beginning on the first day of the month following the Participant's
         death.

               (f) The monthly surviving Spouse benefit shall be payable to the
         Spouse for life, beginning as of the first day of the calendar month
         next following the date of the Participant's death.

21.      OPTIONAL FORMS OF PAYMENT.

               (a) A Participant retiring under the Normal, Early or Deferred
         Vested Retirement provisions of this Supplement One may file, prior to
         retirement, a written election for an optional retirement benefit. The
         optional forms of retirement benefit are as follows:

                    (1) TEN-YEAR CERTAIN AND LIFE ANNUITY. A ten-year certain
               and life annuity is a reduced monthly retirement benefit payable
               to the Participant for life. If the Participant dies within a
               ten-year period after his benefits begin, his beneficiary will
               continue to receive a monthly payment for the balance of the
               ten-year period. The annuity payable is the Actuarial Equivalent
               of the life annuity under Paragraphs 15, 16 and 17 above.

                    (2) LUMP-SUM OPTION. A lump-sum option is also available
               under this Supplement One. The lump-sum Actuarial Equivalent
               value shall be determined on the basis of the benefit the
               Participant would have been entitled to on the first day of the
               month following his Normal Retirement Age or the date his Vesting
               Service terminates, whichever is later. Effective for Vesting
               Service accrued on or after October 1, 1994, the value of the
               supplemental benefit ($3.50 times years of Vesting Service) will
               not be taken into account when calculating the amount of the
               Participant's distribution under the lump sum option. A
               Participant's election of a lump sum option shall include a
               waiver of an immediately payable QJSA under paragraph 20 with
               Spousal consent if the Participant is married. Such waiver is
               necessary if the lump sum payment is made pursuant to paragraph
               24. The lump sum option is available effective as of October 1,
               1989, to all Participants other than those in pay status,
               including retirees and terminated vested Participants.

               (b) No optional forms of benefits shall be granted under
         subparagraph (a) above which extend the payment period longer then (1)
         the lifetime of the Participant or joint lives of the Participant and
         his designated beneficiary, or (2) the Participant's life expectancy or
         the joint life expectancies of the Participant and his designated
         beneficiary.

               (c) The qualified joint and survivor annuity shall be at least as
         valuable as any optional form of benefit payable under the Plan.

         22. SPECIAL EMPLOYMENT/REEMPLOYMENT PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding Section
II of the Plan, and for Participants in this Participating Group only, (1) if a
Participant receiving a normal, early or deferred vested retirement benefit has
that benefit under paragraphs 15, 16 or 17 suspended for any month of
reemployment after his Normal Retirement Age in which he has eight or more full
or partial days of employment, or (2) if a Participant remains in employment of
an Affiliate after his Normal Retirement Age (without a commencement of benefits
under paragraph 15) for eight or more full or partial days in a month, then that
Participant shall be afforded a review of his suspension of benefits.

               Notwithstanding the above, no benefit payments, once they have
commenced, shall be suspended for any month in which a Participant is
reemployed, after his Normal Retirement Date, for fewer than eight days. In the
event a Participant remains in employment with an Affiliate after his Normal
Retirement Age for fewer than eight days in any month, his normal retirement
benefit is payable as of the first day of the calendar month next following the
month in which he first has fewer than eight days of employment.

         23. EXTENDED WEAR AWAY. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Supplement to the contrary, with respect to each Participant covered by this
Supplement One, whose Compensation exceeded $150,000 during the Plan Year ending
September 30, 1993, the amount of the Participant's Accrued Benefit shall not be
less than the greater of the amount of the Participant's Accrued Benefit, if
any, determined as of September 30, 1989 under the terms of the Pension Plan as
then in effect, plus such additional amount, if any, as is accrued after
September 30, 1993 pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection.

         24. SMALL BENEFITS. If (prior to commencement of benefits payable under
the Plan) the total lump sum Actuarial Equivalent of monthly benefits payable
under this Supplement One is $5,000 or less (and has never exceeded $5,000), the
payment shall be made in accordance with rules established by the Committee, in
the form of a lump sum after the Participant's employment has terminated. The
lump sum Actuarial Equivalent value described above shall be determined on the
basis of the benefit the Participant would have been entitled to on the first
day of the month following the later of his Normal Retirement Age or the date on
which his Vesting Services terminates.

               Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Supplement One
to the contrary, in the event a Participant receives a lump sum distribution
under this paragraph or paragraph 21(2) and the Participant is subsequently
reemployed, he shall not have a right to repay the amount distributed. In
addition, his accrued retirement benefit and the Credited Service upon which his
benefit was calculated shall be canceled and disregarded.
