WHEREAS, Sensient Technologies Corporation (the Company) maintains the Sensient Technologies Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan B, effective as of January 1, 2005 (the Plan) for (the Executive);
WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the formula used to determine Executives benefit under the Plan;
NOW THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:

An Executive (or his or her designated beneficiary) commencing benefits after January 1, 2010 shall receive a tax equalization payment if the aggregate Federal and state (net of Federal tax benefit) income tax rate in effect at the time of payment (the Aggregate Tax Rate or ATR) exceeds 45%.

In such event, the supplemental payment shall be equal to:
(P(.495) P(ATR+.55)(1-ATR)), multiplied by (1/1-ATR).
The tax equalization payment (plus any supplemental payment) shall be paid at the same time as the payment(s) under paragraph A, C or D.
