Products Co. Pension Plan and Trust, voting and dispositive power with respect
to the 500,000 shares of Moore Products Co. Common Stock held by the Pension
Plan is vested in the Benefits Committee, subject to certain exceptions.
However, decisions of the Benefits Committee on these matters must be made
