by the number of Directors to be elected. All of such votes may
be cast for a single nominee or may be distributed among any two

invoked, and unless contrary instructions are given by a
shareholder who signs a proxy, all votes represented by such
proxy will be divided evenly among the candidates nominated by
the Board of Directors, except that if so voting should for any
reason not be effective to elect all of the nominees

    penalties. Huntington consented to pay a penalty of
    $7.5&nbsp;million. Without admitting or denying the charges in
    the administrative proceeding, Huntington and the individuals
    each agreed to cease and desist from committing and/ or causing
    the violations charged as well as any future violations of the

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">During 2005, a total of five regularly scheduled
meetings of the Board of Directors (at least one each quarter)
and a total of 14 meetings of all standing Directors&#146;
Committees were held. All Directors attended at least 75% of the
aggregate of the total number of meetings held by the Board of
Directors and of the total number of meetings held by the
respective committees on which they served. In 2005, the
&#147;independent&#148; Directors met once in executive session
without the presence of the non-independent Directors and any
members of the Company&#146;s management.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Board of Directors has four separately
designated standing committees: (1) an Audit Review Committee,
whose present members are Thomas&nbsp;E. Hoaglin (Chairman and
&#147;independent audit committee financial expert&#148;), Peter
B. Lake and W.&nbsp;Wayne Walston; (2) a Salary Committee, whose
present members are W. Wayne Walston (Chairman), Thomas&nbsp;E.
Hoaglin and Christopher&nbsp;H. Lake; (3) a Pension Committee,
whose present members are Peter B. Lake (Chairman), Rick&nbsp;R.
Taylor and John&nbsp;A. Walter; and (4) a Nominating Committee,
whose present members are John&nbsp;A. Walter (Chairman),
Christopher&nbsp;H. Lake and Rick&nbsp;R. Taylor. All members of
each committee are independent Directors.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Audit Review Committee held six meetings in
2005. Its principal functions include reviewing the arrangement
and scope of the audit, considering comments made by the
independent accountants with respect to internal controls and
financial reporting, considering corrective action taken by
management, reviewing internal accounting procedures and
controls with the Company&#146;s internal auditor and financial
staff, and reviewing non-audit services provided by the
independent accountants. The Committee is governed by a written
charter adopted by the Board of Directors.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Salary Committee held two meetings during
2005. Its principal functions are to determine the salaries of
the elected officers and certain senior executives of the
Company and to determine profit sharing amounts for eligible
employees, subject to approval by the Board of Directors.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Pension Committee held five meetings in 2005.
Its principal functions are to monitor and assist in the
investment of the assets associated with the Company&#146;s
pension plan.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Nominating Committee held one meeting during
2005. Its principal functions involve the identification,
evaluation and recommendation of individuals for nomination as
new members of the Board of Directors. Members of the Nominating
Committee are &#147;independent&#148; in accordance with
Section&nbsp;121 of the listing standards of the American Stock
Exchange.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Nominating Committee does not have a written
charter but follows policies and procedures by which to consider
recommendations from shareholders for Director nominees. (These
written policies and procedures were recommended by the
Committee and adopted by the Board of Directors for the
Committee in 1991.) Any shareholder wishing to propose a
candidate should deliver a typewritten or legible hand-written
communication to the Company&#146;s Corporate Secretary. The
submission should provide detailed business and personal
biographical data about the candidate, and include a brief
analysis explaining why the individual is well-qualified to
become a Director nominee. All recommendations will be
acknowledged by the Corporate Secretary and promptly referred to
the Nominating Committee for evaluation.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Nominating Committee does not believe that
any particular set of skills or qualities are most appropriate
for a Director candidate. All Director candidates, including any
recommended by shareholders, are evaluated based upon their
(i)&nbsp;business and financial expertise and experience;
(ii)&nbsp;intellect to comprehend the issues confronting the
Company; (iii)&nbsp;reputation for diligence, and limited time
conflicts; and (iv)&nbsp;integrity, strength of character,
practical wisdom and mature judgment. Any Director candidate
will be subject to a background check performed by the
Committee. In addition, the candidate will be personally
interviewed by one or more Committee members before he or she is
nominated to be a new member of the Board of Directors.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Board of Directors has determined that all
Non-Employee Directors (Messrs.&nbsp;Hoaglin, C. H. Lake, P. B.
Lake, Taylor, Walston and Walter) are &#147;independent&#148;
Directors in accordance with Section&nbsp;121 of the listing
standards of the American Stock Exchange. Directors who are
employees of the Company (Messrs.&nbsp;J. C. Gorman and J. S.
Gorman) do not receive any compensation for service as
Directors. Each Non-Employee Director receives a fee for each of
the Board of Directors meetings attended. The fee was $2,300 for
meetings held during 2005. No fees are paid, however, for
attendance at committee meetings, except that Directors serving
as members of the Audit Review Committee receive an additional
fee of $300 for each Audit Review Committee meeting attended
that is held in conjunction with a Board of Directors meeting.
Each Committee Chairman also receives a retainer of
$1,000&nbsp;per year. Effective May&nbsp;22, 1997, the Board of
Directors adopted a Non-Employee Directors&#146; Compensation
Plan. Under the Plan, as additional compensation for regular
services to be performed as a Director, an automatic award of
500 Common Shares (from the Company&#146;s treasury) will be
made on each July&nbsp;1 (through 2006 unless extended) to each
Non-Employee Director then serving on the Board. The award of
500 Common Shares made on July 1, 2005 had a market value of
$10,628.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Members of the Board of Directors are encouraged
to attend the Company&#146;s annual meetings of shareholders,
time permitting. All Directors were in attendance at the annual
meeting in 2005.

    under the pension plan is determined by multiplying 1.1% of his
    final average monthly compensation by the number of his credited
    years and months of service. A participant&#146;s final average
    monthly compensation is one-twelfth of the average annual
    compensation of the participant for the last 10 years of the
    participant&#146;s employment with the Company (or Patterson
    Pump Company) or, if less than 10, for his actual years of such
    employment. The compensation covered by the pension plan for
    2005 is identical to the compensation set forth in the table,
    except that the plan does not cover profit-sharing bonuses or
    amounts labeled &#147;other&#148; in the table received by any
    executive officer, as well as any compensation in excess of
    $210,000, effective November&nbsp;1, 2005. However, compensation
    covered by the pension plan does include any before-tax
    contributions made by the participant to the 401(k) Plan. The
    benefit amounts applicable to each individual participant are
    not subject to any deduction for Social Security benefits or

<B><FONT size="2">SALARY COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under the supervision of the Salary Committee of
the Board of Directors, the Company has developed compensation
policies which seek to enhance the profitability of the Company,
and thus shareholder value, by aligning closely the financial
interests of the Company&#146;s corporate officers and other key
employees with those of its shareholders. As a starting point,
annual base salaries are generally set somewhat below
competitive levels so that the Company relies to a large degree
on annual incentive compensation to retain corporate officers
and other key employees of outstanding abilities and to motivate
them to perform to the full extent of their abilities. The
incentive compensation is then closely tied to corporate and
individual performances in a manner that encourages a long and
continuing focus on building profitability and shareholder value.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Based on an evaluation of these factors, the
Committee believes that the corporate officers and other key
employees of the Company are dedicated to achieving improvements
in long-term financial performance and that the compensation
policies the Committee administers have contributed to achieving
this management focus.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Compensation for each of the Named Officers, as
well as other executive officers and certain senior executives,
consists of a base salary and annual incentive compensation or
profit sharing. The base salaries are fixed at levels somewhat
below the competitive amounts paid to senior managers with
comparable qualifications, experience and responsibilities at
other companies engaged in the same or similar businesses as the
Company. The annual incentive compensation is more closely tied
to the Company&#146;s success in achieving significant financial
and non-financial performance goals. The Committee considers the
total compensation of each of the Named Officers and the other
executive officers and certain senior executives in establishing
the elements of compensation.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In the early part of each fiscal year, the
Committee reviews with the Chief Executive Officer and approves,
with modifications considered appropriate, an annual salary for
the Company&#146;s executive officers and certain senior
executives (other than the Chief Executive Officer). Salaries
are developed based upon industry and national surveys and
performance judgments as to the past and expected future
contributions of the individual executive officers and certain
senior executives. The Committee independently reviews and fixes
the base salary of the Chief Executive Officer based on similar
competitive compensation data and the Committee&#146;s
assessment of his past performance and its expectation as to his
future contributions in leading the Company.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">At the beginning of each year, performance
objectives for purposes of determining annual profit sharing are
also established based upon operating earnings. At the end of
each year, performance against these objectives is determined by
an arithmetic calculation. In determining the profit sharing in
2005 for eligible employees, including the Named Officers, the
Committee reviews management&#146;s recommendations with the
Chief Executive Officer based on individual performance. The

<FONT size="2">Under its Charter, the Audit Review Committee of
the Company&#146;s Board of Directors is directly responsible
for the oversight of the work of Ernst &#38; Young LLP and has
the sole authority to (i)&nbsp;appoint, retain and terminate
Ernst&nbsp;&#38; Young LLP, (ii)&nbsp;pre-approve all audit
engagement fees, terms and services, and (iii)&nbsp;pre-approve
scope and fees for any non-audit engagements with
Ernst&nbsp;&#38; Young LLP. The Committee exercises this
authority in a manner consistent with applicable law and the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the American
Stock Exchange, and Ernst &#38; Young LLP reports directly to
Committee. In addition, the Committee has determined to delegate
its authority to grant any pre-approvals to its Chairman,
subject to the report of any such pre-approvals to the Committee
at its next scheduled meeting. With respect to certain of the
services categorized above, the following percentage of services
were rendered by Ernst&nbsp;&#38; Young LLP in accordance with
the annual <I>de minimus</I> exception to the pre-approval
requirement:&nbsp;Audit-Related Fees&nbsp;&#151; 0%; Tax
Fees&nbsp;&#151; 0%; All Other Fees&nbsp;&#151; 0%.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Ratification by the shareholders of the
appointment of Ernst &#38; Young LLP is not required by law.
However, the Board of Directors believes that shareholders
should be given this opportunity to express their views on the
subject. While not binding on the Audit Review Committee of the
Board of Directors, the failure of the shareholders to ratify
the appointment of Ernst &#38; Young LLP as the Company&#146;s
independent public accountants would be considered by the Audit
Review Committee in determining whether to continue the
engagement of Ernst &#38; Young LLP. Even if the appointment is
ratified, the Audit Review Committee of the Board of Directors
may, in its discretion, select a different firm of independent
public accountants for the Company at any time during the year
if it determines that such a change would be in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders.

presented at the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders must be
received by the Company for inclusion in the proxy statement and

received after February&nbsp;27, 2007, it will be considered
untimely and the proxy holders may use their discretionary
voting authority if and when the proposal is raised at such
annual meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the
