SEVERANCE PAYMENTS The Company has instituted a severance payment policy for certain members of its senior management (including all of the named executive officers), for the purpose of providing such individuals with an additional incentive to remain in the employ of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the policy, eligible personnel would receive a lump-sum payment of one year's "base salary" (defined as the annual salary at the time of a "Change of Control" of the Company, as defined below), subject to reduction by the amount of any other severance pay received from the Company, within 30 days after "termination" of employment (defined as any substantial change in current duties, responsibilities, reporting relationships (other than reporting to an applicable group president), place of employment, or salary and benefits) without cause, provided that such termination occurs within one year after a Change in Control of the Company; provided, however, that pursuant to amendments to the severance policy adopted by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors on March 14, 1995: (i) Mr. Bach and Mr. Bushley will each be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to his base salary 90 days after a Change of Control, so long as he remains continuously employed throughout such 90-day period (which lump sum payment will not be made if he resigns prior to the 90th day); (ii) if the employment of Mr. Bach or Mr. Bushley is terminated without cause prior to the 90th day after a Change of Control, Mr. Bach will immediately be entitled to receive a payment equal to 1 1/2 times his base salary and will continue to receive his employee benefits for 18 months thereafter, and Mr. Bushley will immediately be entitled to receive a payment equal to two times his base salary and will continue to receive his employee benefits for 24 months thereafter; (iii) if the employment of Mr. Bach or Mr. Bushley is terminated without cause between 90 days and two 10
10-K405/A12th Page of 22TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
years after a Change of Control, Mr. Bach will immediately be entitled to receive a payment equal to six months of his then-current salary and will continue to receive his employee benefits for six months thereafter, and Mr. Bushley will immediately be entitled to receive a payment equal to 12 months of his then-current salary and will continue to receive his employee benefits for 12 months thereafter; and (iv) if Mr. Bach or Mr. Bushley remains employed two years after a Change of Control, then a new severance and/or employee agreement will be negotiated with that employee on terms no less favorable than those applicable to similarly situated executives. For purposes of the policy, a "Change in Control" is defined as (i) the direct or indirect acquisition in one or more transactions, other than from the Company, by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of a number of Company voting securities in excess of 50% of the Company's voting securities unless such acquisition either (A) has been approved by the Board or (B) is made by an individual, entity or group that on March 1, 1994 beneficially owned 5% or more of the Company's voting securities; or (ii) the consummation by the Company of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, unless, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the respective beneficial owners of the outstanding Common Stock and Company voting securities immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or trustees, as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the outstanding Common Stock and Company voting securities immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation, as the case may be. For purposes of the policy, the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer would constitute a Change in Control. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Under the Company's current policies, directors (other than employees of the Company) are compensated $750 for each Board meeting attended and $750 for each committee meeting attended other than committee meetings held in conjunction with Board meetings, in which case the compensation is $500. In addition, the Chairman of the Board (so long as he is not an employee of the Company) receives $12,500 each quarter, and other directors (other than employees of the Company) receive $3,000 each quarter. Committee chairpersons receive an additional $500 for each meeting of a committee at which they preside. Directors who are present employees of the Company receive no additional compensation for their service on the Board or its committees. Directors, whether or not employees of the Company, are eligible to receive discretionary option grants pursuant to the 1992 Stock Option Plan. INDEMNITY AGREEMENTS In general, pursuant to the Company's Bylaws, directors and officers of the Company and of its subsidiaries are entitled to indemnification to the fullest extent provided by applicable law. In this regard, the Company has entered into Indemnity Agreements with Messrs. Bach, Bushley, Dimond, Gildea, LeBuhn, Metz, Meyer, Postelwait and Whitridge and Ms. Rudd, contractually obligating the Company to indemnify such parties with respect to certain matters to the fullest extent provided by applicable law. In addition, the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains 11

a provision, as permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, that limits the personal liability of the Company's directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty of care. The provision does not change the liability of a Company director for a breach of his duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, the declaration of dividends in violation of Delaware law or in respect of any transaction from which a director received an improper personal benefit. The Company understands that certain members of the Company's former principal lending group (the "Former Bank Group") entered into agreements with Mr. Bach pursuant to which he is provided with certain standby indemnification rights in addition to the rights he has as a director of the Company. The Company also understands that certain members of the Former Bank Group entered into an agreement for the benefit of Messrs. Bach, Dimond, Meyer and Whitridge, pursuant to which Former Bank Group members agreed to release such individuals from liability for, and not to sue such individuals on account of, any action taken or omitted to be taken by them in their capacities as directors of the Company, except to the extent any such action or omission is not in good faith or involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company was responsible for the specific forms and levels of compensation for the executive and other officers of the Company and its subsidiaries. Executive Compensation Policies Generally In carrying out its responsibilities with respect to the compensation policies of the Company that were in place during 1994, the Compensation Committee intended to provide compensation to the executive and other officers of the Company and its subsidiaries at reasonably competitive levels in order to retain qualified executive officers with a knowledge of the businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as to provide an incentive for such executive and other officers based upon the Company's long-term performance and to enhance stockholder value. It was the policy of the Compensation Committee in 1994 to attempt generally to set executive cash compensation at levels that the Committee believed to be below the median, and executive non-cash compensation at levels that the Committee believed to be at or slightly above the median, of the range of executive compensation at industrial manufacturing companies which the Committee considered to be comparable to the Company and its subsidiaries in size and circumstances. The Compensation Committee's assessment of the range of executive compensation at comparable companies was based primarily upon information supplied by a compensation consultant retained by the Committee, and considered as well the experience of members of the Committee and publicly available information. The Compensation Committee views stock options and stock ownership by executive officers as essential components of performance-based compensation, since the value of stock options relates directly to the price of the Common Stock, and thus ultimately to the Company's performance, thereby providing executive officers with an additional incentive to focus their and the Company's performance upon elements of financial strength that contribute to the enhancement of stockholder value. 12

The Company does not anticipate that it will be affected in the near future by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which imposes an annual limit of $1,000,000 per person on the federal income tax deduction for executive compensation. If the Company should determine that this limitation might impact the Company, the Company would likely take the steps necessary to bring its compensation programs into compliance with Section 162(m) so that the problem of non-deductibility would be avoided. Elements of Executive Compensation Compensation of the executive and other officers of the Company and its subsidiaries in 1994 consisted of the following three elements: base salary; cash bonus; and stock option awards under the 1992 Stock Option Plan. Base Salary. In considering the appropriateness of, and increases in, base salaries for executive and other officers of the Company and its subsidiaries for 1994, the Compensation Committee utilized salary data obtained from a variety of sources, including outside consultants and publicly available information. It was the primary intention of the Committee that the executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries be paid base salaries that are below the median of base salaries for corresponding executive officers at industrial manufacturing companies that the Committee considered to be comparable to the Company and its subsidiaries in size and circumstances. The Compensation Committee's assessment of the range of executive compensation at comparable companies was based primarily upon information supplied by a compensation consultant retained by the Committee, and considered as well the experience of members of the Committee and publicly available information. To a lesser extent, the Compensation Committee also considered a variety of other factors in determining base salaries for individual executive officers, including, among others, in declining order of importance: (i) the duties and responsibilities inherent in each individual's position with the Company and its subsidiaries; (ii) the historical achievements and performance of each individual in meeting personal and career development goals, as well as corporate performance goals that are related to the individual's area of responsibility; (iii) the overall performance of the Company (without reference to specific, preordained targets); and (iv) the general performance of the Company relative to comparable companies. In light of these factors, as well as of each individual's seniority, executive and other officers of the Company and its subsidiaries are assigned to base salary grades, and are paid base salaries that for 1994 were generally below the midpoints of those grades. Cash Bonus. Cash bonuses are intended by the Committee to provide executive and other officers of the Company's subsidiaries with compensation tied to the achievement of certain corporate and individual performance goals. For 1994, cash bonuses were awarded to executive and other officers of Crosby pursuant to a bonus plan adopted for Crosby by the Company's Board of Directors in 1992, based upon Crosby's attainment in 1994 of the goals set forth in such plan. In 1992, the Board also adopted a separate bonus plan for Harris; while certain of the specific goals set forth in the Harris bonus plan were not attained in 1994, the Compensation Committee nonetheless designated a limited pool of funds at year-end 1994 for the payment of non-plan bonuses to certain of the executive and other officers of Harris, as well as to the Chief Financial Officer and certain other non-executive personnel of Amdura (for which no formal bonus plan has been established), in recognition of individual performance and achievement by such recipients during 1994. 13
10-K405/A15th Page of 22TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
Under the formal bonus plans adopted by the Board in 1992 for Crosby and Harris, performance goals for a particular year may vary between Crosby and Harris based on the achievement of certain predetermined corporate goals for that year. In establishing the overall levels of cash bonus to be paid, both Crosby and Harris assign roughly one-third weight to the attainment of certain threshold, target and maximum levels of operating income; one-fourth weight to similar levels of cash flow; and one-fifth weight to levels of reduction in average days of inventory on hand. In addition, Crosby assigns one-fourth weight each to goals related to gross margin on new products and to sales presentations made to distributors and end-users of Crosby's products, while Harris assigns one-tenth weight to goals concerning gross margin and the level of direct labor as a proportion of its total work-force. Once the overall bonus level at each subsidiary has been established in accordance with the foregoing weighing, the actual amount of each individual bonus is determined based upon the individual's base salary grade. Stock Options. The grant of stock options is intended to provide long-term, performance-based incentive compensation to option recipients. Options are also intended to provide option recipients with an incentive to increase and promote stockholder value by directly allying the interests of management with the market value of the Company's stock. Each option is granted with an exercise price of 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant of the shares of stock issuable upon exercise of the option, and has a ten-year term. Options typically vest over a four-year period. The Stock Option Committee of the Company's Board of Directors specifically reviews and acts upon recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer regarding the stock option awards to be made to the Company's executive officers. In 1994 the Stock Option Committee made stock option grants to certain executive officers. See "Executive Compensation - Stock Options." Stock option grants in 1994 were generally made by the Stock Option Committee in the context of the Company's 1993 and 1994 performance, the responsibility level and performance of the executive, levels of prior grants of stock options, if any, to the particular executive, and historical and current grants to all other past and current option holders, taking into account the Company's preference for long-term stock performance based compensation. There is no formula on which the grants to executive officers are based, nor is any one factor given any specific weight. The Stock Option Committee places particular emphasis on seeking to assure that each executive officer's total option holdings provide an appropriate balance between long-term incentives and the other components of each executive's compensation. Compensation of Chief Executive Officer Prior to his resignation effective November 30, 1994, the compensation for William F. Andrews, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, was determined through a process similar to the policies and procedures discussed above for executive officers in general. The Compensation Committee's approach in setting Mr. Andrews' target annual compensation was to seek to be competitive with other companies in the capital goods industry, but also to base a significant portion of his target compensation upon the attainment of objective performance goals. This arrangement provided incentives for Mr. Andrews to lead the Company towards clearly defined performance goals, while still providing compensation stability in the form of the base salary element of the compensation package. 14
10-K405/A16th Page of 22TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
The compensation of James A. Bach, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company (who performed duties substantially similar to those of Mr. Andrews following Mr. Andrews' resignation, and who was included in the Summary Compensation Table for such period solely for that reason) represented the continuation without change of Mr. Bach's compensation as an executive officer of the Company prior to Mr. Andrews' resignation. In January 1994, the Compensation Committee established a base salary for Mr. Andrews for 1994. Mr. Andrews' long term incentive compensation for 1994 was awarded in accordance with the policies described above for all executive officers. In February 1994, Mr. Andrews was granted an option to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock with an option price of $2.25 per share, this price being not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the day immediately preceding the date of the grant. See "Executive Compensation - Stock Options." Options to purchase 97,500 shares expired upon Mr. Andrews' resignation effective November 30, 1994. The foregoing report has been furnished by the members of the Compensation Committee. MARVIN L. DIMOND PAUL C. MEYER TRACEY L. RUDD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION During 1994, Messrs.
