WITNESSETH

(a) "Acquiring Person" shall mean any Person who or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, without the prior approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors, shall be the Beneficial Owner of 25% or more of the then Outstanding Non-ESOT Shares, provided, however, that Acquiring Person shall not mean (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (including without limitation the Servotronics, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan [the "ESOP"]), (iv) any entity holding shares of Common Stock organized, appointed, or established by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan (including without limitation the Servotronics, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Trust [the "ESOT"]), (v) Dr. Nicholas D. Trbovich ("Dr. Trbovich") or any executor, administrator, attorney-in-fact, agent, proxy or personal representative (acting in his or her capacity as such) of Dr. Trbovich, (vi) any trustee serving under the last will and testament of Dr. Trbovich (acting in his or her capacity as such), (vii) Kenneth D. Trbovich or (viii) a Person who inadvertently becomes the beneficial owner of 25% or more of the then Outstanding Non-ESOT Shares and who (A) represents to the Board of Directors of the Company that the acquisition of such shares was inadvertent without intent to make a tender offer; (B) undertakes to sell, within five Business Days, to a Person other than the Company, enough shares so that his total Beneficial Ownership is less than 25% of the then Outstanding Non-ESOT Shares; and (C) in fact does sell such shares within five Business Days.

    3. The Rights Plan will not otherwise be supplemented or amended by virtue of this Amendment, but will remain in full force and effect.
