person acted in good faith, (b)&nbsp;such person reasonably believed that the conduct was in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (c)&nbsp;in the case of criminal proceedings, such person had no reasonable cause to believe
that the conduct was unlawful. Indemnification may be made against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and settlements actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the proceeding; provided, however, that
if the proceeding is one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only against reasonable expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) and may not be made with respect to any proceeding in which the director, officer or
employee has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, except to the extent that the court in which the proceeding was brought shall determine, upon application, that such person is, in view of all the circumstances, entitled to indemnity for
such expenses as the court shall deem proper. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of <I>nolo contendere</I> or its equivalent does not, of itself, create a presumption that the Director,
officer or employee did not meet the standard of conduct required for indemnification to be permitted. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code further provides that indemnification thereunder may not be made by the corporation

(b)&nbsp;if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, but a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; (c)&nbsp;by the shareholders; or (d)&nbsp;by the court in which the

Director of the Company, or of an individual who serves at the request of the Company as an officer, director, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation or entity, if the individual meets certain standards of conduct required by the
Agreement. The Agreement provides indemnification to an individual who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, including any action, suit or proceeding threatened or instituted by or in the right of the

</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Plan is to promote employee loyalty by encouraging employees of The Gorman- Rupp Company (the
&#147;Company&#148;) to participate in stock ownership. To that end, the Plan is designed to provide a convenient means through which employees of the Company and its designated subsidiaries may own shares in the Company and a method by which the
Company may assist in achieving this objective. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">2. TERM. The operation of the Plan shall commence on the date fixed by the
Company and shall continue from year to year, but it may be modified or discontinued by the Company&#146;s Directors at any time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">3. ELIGIBILITY. All persons who are regular full-time employees of the Company or of one of its designated subsidiaries and who are also 18 years of age shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.
Absence on approved leave shall not be considered an interruption of employment for any purpose of the Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">4.
PARTICIPATION. An eligible employee may elect to participate in the Plan at any time by executing and delivering a prescribed form to the Company. Upon enrollment, a participating employee shall elect to contribute from a minimum of $20 to a maximum
of $500 per month of his compensation through payroll deduction, commencing no later than approximately six weeks after such election. The election is made by filing the appropriate payroll deduction authorization form with the Company and the
appropriate purchase order form with the Administrator of the Plan. All payroll deductions shall be paid into the Plan and administered for the account of the participating employee as provided in the Plan. The election may be terminated or amended
at any time by the filing of supplemental payroll deduction and purchase order forms. (An election to terminate payroll deductions does not, however, automatically constitute a notice of the employee&#146;s intention to withdraw from the Plan.)
&#147;Compensation&#148; shall mean base earnings, including commissions, before deductions, but excluding overtime, bonus or other payments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">5. COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS. The Company (or one of its subsidiaries, as the case may be) shall make a contribution to the Plan for the account of each participating employee. The Company&#146;s contribution
shall be made at approximately the same time as the payroll deduction for a participating employee, and shall be equal to a percentage of the contribution made by such participating employee through his payroll deduction as follows: </FONT></P>

each calendar quarter after receipt thereof by the Administrator, to the purchase of additional Common Shares of the Company and such Common Shares shall be credited to the accounts of the respective participating employees in the manner provided in
Paragraph 9; provided, however, any participating employee may direct the Administrator to forward to him all such cash payments made with respect to Common Shares in his account. Dividends paid in Common Shares of the Company which are received by

such offer, including all the terms and conditions thereof, together with a form prescribed by the Administrator pursuant to which each participating employee may direct the Administrator to tender or sell pursuant to such offer all or part of the
Common Shares so allocated to his account. The Administrator shall tender or sell only those Common Shares as to which valid and timely directions to tender or sell are received and not validly and timely revoked; all other Common Shares held under
the Plan shall continue to be held by the Administrator. If during the course of such offer, there shall arise any issue on which participating employees who have directed the tender or sale of any of their Common Shares are required or have an
opportunity to alter their circumstances (including, but not limited to, an opportunity to withdraw Common Shares previously tendered and an opportunity to tender Common Shares in a competing offer), the Administrator shall, in accordance with the

Common Shares of the Company credited to the account of such participant, (b)&nbsp;the cash value of any fractional share credited to such participant&#146;s account, and (c)&nbsp;any cash credited to the participant&#146;s account which has not

Plan, effective as of the first day of any calendar month subsequent to taking such action, as the Directors may deem proper and in the best interests of the Company, in each case without the assent of any participating employee or action by the
Company&#146;s shareholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive any participant of any Common Shares of the Company which he may acquire or which may have been acquired for him through or as a result of the Plan. In the event of
any termination of the Plan, each participant shall be entitled to receive certificates representing an amount of shares and cash determined in the same manner and deliverable at the same time as if he had withdrawn from the Plan by giving notice of
his withdrawal effective as of the effective termination date. </FONT></P>
