   (d) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - April 1, 1995

   1.   General

        The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
   Thermo Power Corporation (the Company) without audit and, in the opinion of
   management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary
   for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three- and
   six-month periods ended April 1, 1995 and April 2, 1994, (b) the financial
   position at April 1, 1995, and (c) the cash flows for the six-month periods
   ended April 1, 1995 and April 2, 1994. Interim results are not necessarily
   indicative of results for a full year.

        The consolidated balance sheet presented as of October 1, 1994, has
   been derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been
   audited by the Company's independent public accountants. The consolidated
   financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q, and
   do not contain certain information included in the annual financial
   statements and notes of the Company. The consolidated financial statements
   and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial
   statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
   for the fiscal year ended October 1, 1994, filed with the Securities and
   Exchange Commission.

   2.   Available-for-sale Investments

        Effective October 2, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
   Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
   Debt and Equity Securities." In accordance with SFAS No. 115, the Company's
   debt and marketable equity securities are considered "Available-for-sale
   investments" in the accompanying balance sheet and are carried at market
   value, with the difference between cost and market value, net of related
   tax effects, recorded currently as a component of shareholders' investment
   titled "Net unrealized gain on available-for-sale investments." "Net
   unrealized gain on available-for-sale investments" consists of (1) an
   unrealized gain, net of related tax effects, of $268,000 that was recorded
   as an effect of change in accounting principle adjustment and (2) an
   unrealized gain, net of related tax effects, of $85,000 relating to the
   increase in market value of available-for-sale investments for the
   six-month period ended April 1, 1995.

        The aggregate market value, cost basis, and gross unrealized gains and
   losses of short- and long-term available-for-sale investments by major
   security type, as of April 1, 1995, are as follows:

   (d) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - April 1, 1995 (continued)

   2.   Available-for-sale Investments (continued)

        Short- and long-term available-for-sale investments in the
   accompanying balance sheet at April 1, 1995, include $4,296,000 with
   contractual maturities of one year or less, $8,613,000 with contractual
   maturities of more than one year through five years, and $563,000 with
   contractual maturities of more than five years. Actual maturities may
   differ from contractual maturities as a result of the Company's intent to
   sell these securities prior to maturity and as a result of put and call
   options that enable either the Company and/or the issuer to redeem these
   securities at an earlier date.

        The cost of available-for-sale investments that were sold was based on
   specific identification in determining realized losses recorded in the
   accompanying statement of income. Loss on sale of investments for the
   six-month period ended April 1, 1995, resulted from gross realized losses
   relating to the sale of available-for-sale investments.

   3.   Transaction in Stock of Subsidiary

        On March 6, 1995, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ThermoLyte
   Corporation (ThermoLyte), sold 1,845,000 units, each unit consisting of one
   share of ThermoLyte common stock, $.001 par value, and one redemption
   right, at $10.00 per unit, for net proceeds of approximately $17.3 million.
   Holders of the common stock purchased in the offering will have the option
   to require ThermoLyte to redeem in December 1998 and 1999 any or all of
   their shares at $10.00 per share. The redemption rights are guaranteed on a
   subordinated basis by Thermo Electron Corporation (Thermo Electron). In the
   event a payment is made by Thermo Electron under its guarantee, the Company
   has agreed to reimburse Thermo Electron. The difference between the
   redemption value and the original carrying amount of "Common stock subject
   to redemption" is accreted using the straight-line method over the period
   ending December 1998, which corresponds to the first redemption period. The
   accretion is charged to "Minority interest expense." ThermoLyte is
   developing a line of propane-fueled lighting products, including
   flashlights, area lights or lanterns, and hazard lights, as well as
   researching propane-fueled power supplies. Following the offering, the
   Company owned 78% of ThermoLyte's outstanding common stock.

            Results of Operations (continued)
        
   Results of Operations

   Second Quarter Fiscal 1995 Compared With Second Quarter Fiscal 1994
   -------------------------------------------------------------------

        Total revenues increased 13% to $24,912,000 in the second quarter of
   fiscal 1995 from $22,014,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1994.
   Industrial Refrigeration Systems segment revenues increased to $15,263,000
   in 1995 from $14,302,000 in 1994 due to the inclusion of $1,864,000 in
   revenues from NuTemp, which was acquired in May 1994, offset in part by a
   decrease in revenues from custom-engineered refrigeration packages at the
   Company's FES division due to a decrease in demand. Engines segment
   revenues increased 36% to $6,526,000 in 1995 from $4,816,000 in 1994. The
   1995 results include a $2,250,000 increase in revenues from Crusader's
   inboard marine engine-related products due to increased demand. The 1994
   results include $481,000 in revenues from sterndrive marine engine-related
   products. The Company's sterndrive customer exited that market in fiscal
   1994. Cooling and Cogeneration Systems segment revenues increased to
   $3,843,000 in 1995 from $3,443,000 in 1994 due primarily to the inclusion
   of a $312,000 fee received from one of the Company's packaged cogeneration
   systems distributors to satisfy the financial obligations under a minimum
   purchase contract and an increase of $303,000 in revenues from sponsored
   research and development contracts. These increases were offset in part by
   a decrease in revenues from packaged cogeneration systems and, to a lesser
   extent, gas-fueled cooling systems.

        The gross profit margin increased to 22% in the second quarter of
   fiscal 1995 from 20% in the second quarter of fiscal 1994. The gross profit
   margin for the Industrial Refrigeration Systems segment was 22% in 1995,
   compared with 18% in 1994. The increase is due primarily to the inclusion
   of higher-margin NuTemp revenues and, to a lesser extent, an increase in
   margins at FES due to higher-margin sales and lower warranty expenses in
   1995, compared with 1994. The gross profit margin for the Engines segment
   decreased to 13% in 1995 from 14% in 1994 due to a shift in the sales mix
   of marine engine-related products. The gross profit margin for the Cooling
   and Cogeneration Systems segment increased to 33% in 1995 from 32% in 1994
   due to the fee received from one of the Company's packaged cogeneration
   systems distributors as discussed above.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
   revenues were 15% in the second quarters of both fiscal 1995 and 1994.
   Research and development expenses increased to $716,000 in 1995 from
   $433,000 in 1994, due primarily to development costs associated with
   gas-fueled lighting products and, to a lesser extent, natural gas-engine
   products.

        Interest income increased to $431,000 in the second quarter of fiscal
   1995 from $338,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1994, reflecting higher
   prevailing interest rates in 1995 and, to a lesser extent, interest income
   earned on the proceeds from ThermoLyte Corporation's March 1995 private
   placement (see Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements). The increase
   was offset in part by lower average invested amounts as a result of the
   cash expended for the acquisition of NuTemp in May 1994.

            Results of Operations (continued)
            
   First Six Months Fiscal 1995 Compared With First Six Months Fiscal 1994
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------

        Total revenues increased 13% to $47,226,000 in the first six months of
   fiscal 1995 from $41,789,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1994.
   Industrial Refrigeration Systems segment revenues increased 11% to
   $29,441,000 in 1995 from $26,485,000 in 1994 due to the inclusion of
   $4,450,000 in revenues from NuTemp, offset in part by a decrease in
   revenues from custom-engineered refrigeration packages at the Company's FES
   division due to a decrease in demand. Engines segment revenues increased
   20% to $11,681,000 in 1995 from $9,710,000 in 1994. The 1995 results
   include a $3,624,000 increase in revenues from Crusader's inboard marine
   engine-related products due to increased demand. The 1994 results include
   $1,490,000 in revenues from sterndrive marine engine-related products.
   Cooling and Cogeneration Systems segment revenues increased to $7,223,000
   in 1995 from $6,464,000 in 1994 due primarily to the inclusion of a
   $1,187,000 fee received from one of the Company's packaged cogeneration
   systems distributors in lieu of that distributor making minimum purchases
   required by contract. This increase was offset in part by a decrease in
   revenues from packaged cogeneration systems and, to a lesser extent,
   gas-fueled cooling systems.

        The gross profit margin increased to 23% in the first six months of
   fiscal 1995 from 20% in the first six months of fiscal 1994. The gross
   profit margin for the Industrial Refrigeration Systems segment increased to
   24% in 1995 from 19% in 1994 due primarily to the reasons discussed in the
   results of operations for the second quarter. The gross profit margin for
   the Engines segment remained relatively unchanged at 12% in 1995, compared
   with 13% in 1994. The gross profit margin for the Cooling and Cogeneration
   Systems segment increased to 33% in 1995 from 30% in 1994, due primarily to
   the fee received from one of the Company's packaged cogeneration systems
   distributors as discussed above.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
   revenues remained relatively unchanged at 16% in the first six months of
   fiscal 1995, compared with 15% in the first six months of fiscal 1994.
   Research and development expenses increased to $1,246,000 in 1995 from
   $755,000 in 1994, due primarily to development costs associated with
   gas-fueled lighting products and, to a lesser extent, natural gas-engine
   products.

        Interest income increased to $731,000 in the first six months of
   fiscal 1995 from $706,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1994 due to the
   reasons discussed in the results of operations for the second quarter.
   Interest expense decreased to $11,000 in 1995 from $49,000 in 1994 due to
   the repayment of a $3,000,000 principal amount 6.2% subordinated
   convertible note to Thermo Electron Corporation (Thermo Electron) in the
   first quarter of fiscal 1994.

   Financial Condition

   Liquidity and Capital Resources
   -------------------------------

        Working capital was $62,417,000 at April 1, 1995, compared with
   $43,143,000 at October 1, 1994. Included in working capital were cash, cash
   equivalents, and short-term investments of $43,703,000 at April 1, 1995 and
   $27,879,000 at October 1, 1994. During the first six months of fiscal 1995,
   $1,133,000 of cash was used in operating activities. In March 1995, the
   Company's ThermoLyte Corporation subsidiary completed a private placement
   for net proceeds of approximately $17.3 million (see Note 3 to Consolidated
   Financial Statements). As of April 1, 1995, the Company's short-term
   available-for-sale investments included subordinated convertible debentures
   issued by Thermedics Inc. (Thermedics) that were purchased on the open
   market for $651,000 and have a market value of $1,397,000. Thermedics is a
   majority-owned subsidiary of Thermo Electron. As of April 1, 1995, the
   Company owned 7,313 shares of Thermo Electron common stock (adjusted to
   reflect a three-for-two stock split) that were purchased for $18,000 and
   have a market value of $248,000.  The Company currently expects to make
   capital expenditures of approximately $1,500,000 during the remainder of
   fiscal 1995, primarily for machinery and equipment. The Company believes
   its existing resources are sufficient to meet the capital requirements of
   its existing operations for the foreseeable future.

                                                                  Exhibit 10.1





                            THERMO POWER CORPORATION

                           DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN

             As amended and restated effective as of January 1, 1995
                               


   1.   Purpose

        The purpose of this Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") of Thermo
   Power Corporation (the "Company") is to encourage ownership in the  Company
   by outside directors of the Company whose services are considered essential
   to the Company's  growth and progress  and to provide  them with a  further
   incentive to become directors and to continue as directors of the  Company.
   The Plan is intended to be a nonstatutory stock option plan.

   2.   Administration

        The Board of Directors, or a Committee (the "Committee") consisting of
   two or more directors of the  Company appointed by the Board of  Directors,
   shall supervise and administer the Plan.  Grants of stock options under the
   Plan and  the amount  and nature  of the  options to  be granted  shall  be
   automatic in  accordance  with  Section  5.    However,  all  questions  of
   interpretation of the Plan or of  any stock options granted under it  shall
   be determined  by  the  Board  of  Directors  or  the  Committee  and  such
   determination shall  be  final  and  binding upon  all  persons  having  an
   interest in the Plan.

   3.   Participation in the Plan

        Directors of the Company who are  not employees of the Company or  any
   subsidiary or parent of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the
   Plan.  Directors  who receive grants  of stock options  in accordance  with
   this Plan are sometimes referred to herein as "Optionees."  

   4.   Stock Subject to the Plan

        The maximum number of shares that  may be issued under the Plan  shall
   be twenty-five thousand  (25,000) shares  of the Company's $.10 par value
   Common Stock (the "Common Stock"), and twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares
   of the common stock of each Spinout Subsidiary (as defined in Section 5(B))
   as of the date of  the Annual Meeting of  Stockholders on which options  to
   purchase such  common stock  are  first granted  to eligible  Directors  as
   provided in Section 5(B), each subject to adjustment as provided in Section
   9.  Shares to be issued upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan
   may be either authorized but unissued shares or shares held by the  Company
   in its  treasury.   If any  option  expires or  terminates for  any  reason
   without having  been  exercised in  full,  the unpurchased  shares  subject
   thereto shall again be available for options thereafter to be granted.

   5.   Terms and Conditions

        A.   Annual Stock Option Grants

             Each Director  of  the  Company who  meets  the  requirements  of
   Section 3  and  who is  holding  office immediately  following  the  Annual
   Meeting of Stockholders, commencing with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
   held in calendar year 1995, shall be granted  an option to purchase  1,000
   shares of Company common stock at the close of business on the date of such
   Annual  Meeting.    Options  granted  under  this  Subsection  B  shall  be
   exercisable as to 100% of the shares subject to the option as set forth  in
   Section  5(C)(1),  but  shares  acquired  upon  exercise  are  subject   to
   repurchase by  the Company  at the  exercise price  in the  event that  the
   Optionee ceases to serve as  a director  of the Company, Thermo Electron
   Corporation ("Thermo Electron") or any subsidiary of Thermo Electron, prior
   to the  first anniversary  of the  grant date,  for any  reason other  than
   death.

        B.   Subsidiary Stock Option Grants.

        Each Director of the Company who  meets the requirements of Section  3
   and this Section 5(B),  from time to time  in accordance with this  Section
   5(B), shall be granted an option to purchase shares of the common stock  of
   each majority-owned subsidiary of  the Company, the  common stock of  which
   shall have become  publicly traded or  a portion of  which shall have  been
   sold primarily to third parties in a private placement or other arms-length
   transaction (such  transaction  being  referred to  herein  as  a  "Spinout
   Transaction", and such subsidiary  being referred to  herein as a  "Spinout
   Subsidiary"), upon the following terms and conditions.

        Each eligible Director who is not a Director of the Spinout Subsidiary
   shall be granted an option to purchase 1,500 shares of common stock of  the
   Spinout Subsidiary as of the close of business on the date of the Company's
   Annual  Meeting  of  Stockholders  that  first  occurs  after  the  Spinout
   Transaction, and also  as of the  close of  business on the  date of  every
   fifth Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company that occurs  thereafter
   during the duration of this Plan.   

        Options granted under this Section 5(B) shall vest and be  exercisable
   as to 100%  of the  shares of  common stock subject  to the  option on  the
   fourth anniversary of the grant date  of the option, unless, prior to  such
   anniversary, the underlying common stock  shall have been registered  under
   Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (referred
   to herein as "Section 12 Registration").  From and after 90 days after  the
   effective date of Section 12 Registration, options granted hereunder  shall
   be immediately exercisable as to 100% of the shares subject to the  option,
   subject to  the  right of  the  Company to  repurchase  the shares  at  the
   exercise price in the event the Optionee  ceases to serve as a director  of
   the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company or Thermo Election during the
   option term.  The right  of the Company to  so repurchase the shares  shall
   lapse as to one-fourth of the shares granted on each of the first,  second,
   third and fourth anniversaries  of the grant date  of the option,  provided
   the Optionee has remained  continuously a director  of the Company,  Thermo
   Electron or any subsidiary of Thermo Electron since the grant date.  In all
   other respects,  the option  shall  be subject  to  the general  terms  and
   conditions applicable to all  option grants as set  forth below in  Section
   5(C), including the determination of the exercise price of such option.



                                       A-2PAGE
<PAGE>


        No Director,  who is  otherwise  eligible under  Section 3,  shall  be
   eligible under this  Section 5(B)  to receive  grants of  stock options  in
   Spinout Subsidiaries, if such  Director also serves as  a director of  such
   Spinout Subsidiary.

        In the event  any subsidiary  shall become a  "Spinout Subsidiary"  as
   defined herein,  then  there shall  be  immediately reserved  for  transfer
   hereunder, on the  date options  to purchase  common stock  of the  Spinout
   Subsidiary are  first granted  to eligible  Directors and  without  further
   action required by the Board of  Directors or Stockholders of the  Company,
   twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares  of the common  stock of such  Spinout
   Subsidiary.

        C.   General Terms and Conditions Applicable to All Grants.

        1.   Except as otherwise  provided in Section  5(B), options shall  be
             exercisable at any time from and after the six-month  anniversary
             of the grant date and prior to the date which is the earliest of:

             (a)  three years after the  grant date for options granted  under
             Section 5(A)  and five  years after  the grant  date for  options
             granted under Section 5(B),  (b)  three months after the later of
             the date (i) the Optionee either ceases to meet the  requirements
             of Section 3 or (ii) otherwise  ceases to serve as a director  of
             the Company, Thermo Electron or any subsidiary of Thermo Electron
             (six months  in  the  event  the  Optionee  ceases  to  meet  the
             requirements of this Subsection by reason of his death), or (c)  
             the date of dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

        2.   The exercise price at which  Options are granted hereunder  shall
             be the average  of the  closing prices reported  by the  national
             securities exchange  on which  the  common stock  is  principally
             traded for  the  five  trading  days  immediately  preceding  and
             including the date the option is granted or, if such security  is
             not traded on an exchange,  the average last reported sale  price
             for the five-day period  on the NASDAQ  National Market List,  or
             the average of  the closing  bid prices for  the five-day  period
             last   quoted   by   an   established   quotation   service   for
             over-the-counter securities, or if none of the above shall apply,
             the last price paid for shares of the Common Stock by independent
             investors in a  private placement; provided,  however, that  such
             exercise price per share  shall not be lower  than the par  value
             per share or less than 50% of the fair market value of the Common
             Stock until such time as the Company elects to be subject to Rule
             16b-3 as amended by SEC Rel. No. 33-28869.

        3.   All  options   shall  be   evidenced  by   a  written   agreement
             substantially in such form as shall  be approved by the Board  of
             Directors  or   Committee,   containing  terms   and   conditions
             consistent with the provisions of this Plan.

   6.   Exercise of Options

        A.   Exercise/Consideration

        An option may  be exercised in  accordance with its  terms by  written
   notice of intent to exercise the option, specifying the number of shares of
   stock with respect to which the option is then being exercised.  The notice

                                       A-3PAGE
<PAGE>




   shall be accompanied by payment  in the form of cash  or shares of   common
   stock of the Company  (as to options to  purchase Company Common Stock)  or
   the Spinout  Subsidiary (as  to options  to purchase  common stock  of  the
   Spinout Subsidiary, but only if the  common stock is then publicly  traded)
   (the shares so  tendered referred to  herein as "Tendered  Shares") with  a
   then current market value equal to the  exercise price of the shares to  be
   purchased; provided, however,  that such  Tendered Shares  shall have  been
   acquired by the Optionee more than six months prior to the date of exercise
   (unless such requirement  is waived in  writing by the  Company).   Against
   such payment the  Company shall  deliver or cause  to be  delivered to  the
   Optionee a  certificate for  the  number of  shares then  being  purchased,
   registered in  the name  of the  Optionee or  other person  exercising  the
   option.  If any law or applicable regulation of the Securities and Exchange
   Commission or other body having jurisdiction in the premises shall  require
   the Company or the  Director to take any  action in connection with  shares
   being purchased upon  exercise of the  option, exercise of  the option  and
   delivery of  the  certificate or  certificates  for such  shares  shall  be
   postponed until completion of the necessary action, which shall be taken at
   the Company's expense.

        B.   Tax Withholding

        The Company shall have the right  to deduct from payments of any  kind
   otherwise due to the Optionee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind
   required by  law to  be withheld  with respect  to any  shares issued  upon
   exercise of options under the Plan.   Subject to the prior approval of  the
   Company, which may be withheld by  the Company in its sole discretion,  the
   Optionee may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by
   causing the Company to withhold  shares of Common Stock otherwise  issuable
   pursuant to the exercise of an option or (ii) by delivering to the  Company
   shares of  Common Stock  already owned  by  the Optionee.   The  shares  so
   delivered or  withheld  shall  have  a fair  market  value  equal  to  such
   withholding obligation.   The  fair  market value  of  the shares  used  to
   satisfy such withholding obligation shall  be determined by the Company  as
   of the date  that the amount  of tax to  be withheld is  to be  determined.
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, no election to use shares for the payment of
   withholding taxes shall  be effective  unless made in  compliance with  any
   applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3.

   7.   Transferability

        Options shall not be transferable, otherwise than by will or the  laws
   of descent and distribution or  pursuant to a qualified domestic  relations
   order as defined in the  Internal Revenue Code or  Title I of the  Employee
   Retirement Income  Security  Act, or  the  rules thereunder  (a  "Qualified
   Domestic Relations Order").   Options may be exercised  during the life  of
   the Optionee only by the Optionee  or a transferee pursuant to a  Qualified
   Domestic Relations Order.

   8.   Limitation of Rights to Continue as a Director

        Neither the  Plan,  nor the  quantity  of shares  subject  to  options
   granted under the Plan,  nor any other action  taken pursuant to the  Plan,
   shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding,  express
   or implied, that the Company will retain a Director for any period of time,
   or at any particular rate of compensation.

   9.   Changes in Common Stock

        If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased  or
   exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities,  or
   if additional shares  or new or  different shares or  other securities  are
   distributed  with  respect  to  such  shares  of  Common  Stock  or   other
   securities, through merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all
   of  the   assets   of  the   Company,   reorganization,   recapitalization,
   reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other
   distribution with  respect  to  such  shares  of  Common  Stock,  or  other
   securities, an  appropriate proportionate  adjustment may  be made  in  the
   maximum number or kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.   No
   fractional shares will  be issued  under the Plan  on account  of any  such
   adjustments.

   10.  Limitation of Rights in Option Stock

        The Optionees  shall have  no  rights as  stockholders in  respect  of
   shares  as  to  which  their   options  shall  not  have  been   exercised,
   certificates issued and delivered  and payment as  herein provided made  in
   full, and shall have  no rights with respect  to such shares not  expressly
   conferred by this Plan or the written agreement evidencing options  granted
   hereunder.

   11.  Stock Reserved

        The Company shall at all times during the term of the options  reserve
   and keep available such  number of shares  of the Common  Stock as will  be
   sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all options granted under this
   Plan and shall pay all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by  the
   Company in connection therewith.

   12.  Securities Laws Restrictions

        A.   Investment Representations.

        The Company may require any person to whom an option is granted, as  a
   condition  of  exercising  such  option,  to  give  written  assurances  in
   substance and form  satisfactory to  the Company  to the  effect that  such
   person is acquiring the Common Stock subject  to the option for his or  her
   own account for investment and not with any present intention of selling or
   otherwise distributing the same, and to  such other effects as the  Company
   deems necessary  or  appropriate  in  order  to  comply  with  federal  and
   applicable state securities laws.

        B.   Compliance with Securities Laws.

        Each option shall be subject to the requirement that if, at any  time,
   counsel to the Company  shall determine that  the listing, registration  or
   qualification of  the shares  subject to  such option  upon any  securities
   exchange or under any state or federal  law, or the consent or approval  of
   any governmental or regulatory body,  or that the disclosure of  non-public
   information or the satisfaction  of any other condition  is necessary as  a
   condition of, or  in connection with,  the issuance or  purchase of  shares
   thereunder, such option may not be  exercised, in whole or in part,  unless
   such  listing,  registration,  qualification,   consent  or  approval,   or
   satisfaction of  such condition  shall have  been effected  or obtained  on
   conditions acceptable to the Board of Directors.  Nothing herein shall be

                                       A-5PAGE
<PAGE>


   deemed to  require the  Company to  apply for  or to  obtain such  listing,
   registration or qualification, or to satisfy such condition.

   13.  Change in Control

        13.1 Impact of Event

        In the event of a "Change in Control" as defined in Section 13.2,  the
   following provisions shall apply, unless the agreement evidencing the Award
   otherwise provides:

        (a) Any stock options awarded under the Plan that were not  previously
        exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable and vested.

        (b)  Shares  purchased  upon  the  exercise  of  options  subject   to
        restrictions and to the  extent not fully  vested, shall become  fully
        vested and all  such restrictions  shall lapse so  that shares  issued
        pursuant to such options shall be free of restrictions.

        13.2 Definition of "Change in Control"

        "Change in Control" means any one of the following events:  (i)  when,

   the General Rules  and Regulations  of the  Exchange Act)  of such  Person,
   directly or indirectly, of 50% or  more of the outstanding Common Stock  of
   the Company, or  the beneficial  owner of 25%  or more  of the  outstanding
   common stock of  Thermo Electron Corporation  ("Thermo Electron"),  without
   the prior  approval  of  the  Prior Directors  of  the  Company  or  Thermo
   Electron, as the case may  be, (ii) the failure  of the Prior Directors  to
   constitute a  majority of  the Board  of the  Company or  of the  Board  of
   Directors of Thermo Electron, as  the case may be,  at any time within  two
   years following any  Electoral Event,  or (iii)  any other  event that  the
   Prior Directors  shall determine  constitutes an  effective change  in  the
   control of  the Company  or Thermo  Electron.   As  used in  the  preceding
   sentence,  the  following  capitalized  terms  shall  have  the  respective
   meanings set forth below:

        (a) "Person"  shall  include  any  natural  person,  any  entity,  any

        defined in Rule 405 under the  Securities Act of 1933 and any  "group"
        (within the meaning  of such  term in  Rule 13d-5  under the  Exchange
        Act);

        (b) "Prior Directors" shall mean the persons sitting on the  Company's
        or  Thermo  Electron's  Board  of  Directors,  as  the  case  may  be,

        Electoral Event,  those persons  sitting on  the applicable  Board  of
        Directors on the date  of this Agreement) and  any future director  of
        the Company or Thermo Electron who has been nominated or elected by  a
        majority of the Prior Directors who  are then members of the Board  of
        Directors of the Company or Thermo Electron, as the case may be; and 

        (c) "Electoral Event" shall mean any contested election of  Directors,
        or any tender or exchange offer for the Company's or Thermo Electron's

   Code, the Employee  Retirement Income Security  Act of 1974,  or the  rules
   thereunder.  Subject to  the foregoing, the Board  of Directors may at  any
   time, and from  time to  time, modify  or amend  the Plan  in any  respect,
   except that if at any time the approval of the Stockholders of the  Company
   is required as  to such  modification or  amendment under  Rule 16b-3,  the
   Board of Directors may  not effect such  modification or amendment  without
   such approval.

        The termination or  any modification  or amendment of  the Plan  shall
   not, without the consent of an Optionee, affect his or her rights under  an
   option previously granted to him or her.  With the consent of the Optionees
   affected, the Board of Directors may amend outstanding option agreements in
   a manner not inconsistent with the Plan.  The Board of Directors shall have
   the right to amend or  modify the terms and provisions  of the Plan and  of
   any outstanding option to the extent necessary to ensure the  qualification
   of the Plan under Rule 16b-3.

   15.  Effective Date of the Plan

   Company.

   16.  Notice
