                          RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD PLAN
                          (as amended October 6, 1981)

     1. Purpose.  The purpose of this CBI Restricted Stock Award Plan (the
"Plan") is to provide an incentive for Participants to contribute to the
continued growth and profitability of the Company by encouraging stock
ownership. The Plan is intended to further the interest of the Company by
enabling it to attract and retain the services of highly qualified and motivated
persons to serve the Company and its subsidiaries.

     2. Definitions.  As used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

     Award--The grant of Common Stock subject to the restrictions and pursuant
     to the terms of the Plan.

     Award Date--The date on which an Award is approved by the Board as provided
     by paragraph 4.3 below.

     Board--The Board of Directors of the Company, as from time to time
     constituted.

     Committee--The Compensation Committee of the Board, no member of which
     shall be eligible to participate in the Plan while serving as such member.

     Common Stock--Common shares of the Company, par value $2.50 per share.
     
     Company--CBI Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

     Disability--That condition of a Participant, including but not limited to a
     physical or mental condition, which makes a Participant unable to perform
     the regular duties of his employment, as determined by the Committee,
     provided, however, that Disability shall not consist of a condition
     resulting from a cause which the Committee, in its rules, has excluded.

     Effective Date--April 11, 1978.

     Participant--An employee or former employee who has received an Award under
     the Plan.
     
     Retirement--The termination of employment of a Participant with the Company
     and all subsidiaries on or after attaining age 62, or such earlier
     termination with the Company's consent and as may be determined by the
     Committee to constitute early retirement, provided, however, that no
     termination of such employment by reason of dishonesty, fraud or breach of
     trust against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as determined by the
     Committee, shall constitute Retirement.

     Supplemental Award--An Award made pursuant to paragraph 4.4 below and
     designated as a "Supplemental Award" by the Committee at the time it is
     made.

     3.   Common Stock Subject to Plan.  There will be reserved for issue upon
the granting of Awards during the term of the Plan an aggregate of 500,000
shares of Common Stock, as adjusted by the Committee as required to reflect any
stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or similar change in
capitalization.  If any such adjustment shall result in a fractional share such
fraction shall be disregarded.  Upon the granting of an Award, the number of
shares reserved for Award shall be reduced by the number of shares so awarded,
and upon the forfeiture to the Company of any shares awarded hereunder the
number of shares reserved for Award shall be increased by such number of shares,
and such forfeited shares may again be the subject of an Award.  Awards may be
made from authorized but unissued shares or from treasury shares.  All
authorized but unissued shares awarded hereunder shall be fully paid and
nonassessable shares.

     4.   Eligibility and Awards.

          4.1  Eligibility.  The Chairman and President of the Company shall not
     be eligible to become a Participant.  All other management employees
     (including officers but not directors unless also employees) of the Company
     and of its present and future subsidiaries are eligible to be selected by
     the Committee and approved by the Board as Participants.

          4.2  Making of Awards.  Subject to the express provisions of the Plan,
     the Committee shall in its discretion determine the employees to whom, and
     the time or times at which, Awards shall be made pursuant to the Plan and
     the number of shares to be awarded.  In making such determinations, the
     Committee shall take into account the recommendations of the Management
     Committee of the Company and the nature of the services rendered by the
     respective employees, their present and potential contributions to the
     Company's success and such other factors as the Committee in its discretion
     shall deem relevant.  Except as provided in paragraph 4.4 below, Awards to
     any employee will not be made more frequently than once in each calendar
     year.

          4.3  Form of Award.  As soon as reasonably practicable after making a
     determination as provided in paragraph 4.2 above, the Committee shall
     submit such determination to the Board which shall approve or disapprove
     the Award.  Promptly upon the approval of an Award by the Board, the
     Committee shall advise the Participant in writing of the making of such
     Award, the number of shares awarded, the restrictions thereon and incidents
     of forfeiture thereof, and any other terms and conditions relating thereto.

          4.4  Supplemental Awards.  During the first year following the
     Effective Date of this Plan, a Supplemental Award may be made to any
     employee who is otherwise eligible under this Plan and who (i) is the
     holder


                                      -2-

     Company's 1975 Stock Option Plan for Selected Key Employees as of May 1,
     1978, and (ii) has on or before June 1, 1978 surrendered all options.  The
     number of shares of common Stock awarded as a Supplemental Award to any
     Participant shall be twenty percent (20%) of the number of shares subject
     to such surrendered options but not less than 100 shares to any employee
     surrendering such options.  Supplemental Awards shall be made in the same
     manner as Awards under paragraphs 4.2 and 4.3 above, except that a
     Supplemental Award may be made in the same year as another Award to such
     Participant.

     5.   Restrictions on Awarded Stock.

          5.1  Rights of Participants as Shareholders.  Shares awarded hereunder
     shall forthwith be duly issued or transferred and a certificate or
     certificates for such shares shall be issued in the Participant's name. The
     Participant shall thereupon be a shareholder with respect to all the shares
     represented by such certificate or certificates and shall have all the
     rights of a shareholder with respect to all such shares, including the
     right to vote such shares and to receive all dividends and other
     distributions (subject to the provisions of paragraph 5.2 below) paid with
     respect to such shares, provided, however, that such shares shall be
     subject to the restrictions hereinafter described, and to such additional
     or more severe restrictions (including more severe provisions relating the
     the lapsing of restrictions) as may be imposed by the Committee in making
     any individual award.  In aid of such restrictions, certificates for shares
     awarded hereunder, together with suitable executed stock powers signed by
     each Participant, shall be held by the Company in its control for the
     account of such Participant until such restrictions lapse as provided in
     paragraph 5.4 below or such shares are theretofore forfeited to the Company
     as provided by paragraph 5.3 below.

          5.2  Changes in Capitalization. In the event that, as the result of a
     stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or similar change in
     capitalization, the Participant shall, as the owner of shares subject to
     restrictions hereunder, be entitled to new or additional or different
     shares of stock or securities, the certificate or certificates for, or
     other evidences of, such new or additional or different shares of
     securities, shall also be held by the Company in its control for the
     account of such Participant as provided in paragraph 5.1 above, and all
     provisions of the Plan relating to restrictions and lapse or restrictions
     herein set forth shall thereupon be applicable to such new or additional or
     different shares or securities to the extent they were distributed;
     provided, however, that if the Participant shall receive rights, warrants
     or fractional interests in respect of any of such shares, such rights or
     warrants may be held, exercised, sold or otherwise disposed of, and such
     fractional interests may be settled, by the Participant free and clear of
     the restrictions hereafter set forth.

          5.3  Imposition of Restrictions.  Each share awarded under the Plan
     shall be subject to the following restrictions except to the extent that
     such restrictions have lapsed pursuant to paragraph 5.4 below:

                   with the Company and all subsidiaries for any reason other
                   than Retirement, Disability, or death, or

                   b.   The performance of services by the Participant, while an
                   employee of the company or any subsidiary or within two (2)
                   years following his Retirement, as an employee, consultant or
                   independent contractor for, or the acquisition of an
                   ownership interest in excess of five percent (5%) in, any
                   competitor of the Company or any subsidiary without the
                   express written consent of the Company, or

                   c.   The failure of the Participant (for any reason other
                   than Disability or death), within two (2) years following his
                   Retirement, to render such consulting services, advice, and

subsidiaries to terminate the employment of that employee at any time.

    6.3  Amendment and Termination.  The Board may suspend or terminate the
Plan, or amend the Plan in such respect as it shall deem advisable, provided,

to whom any Award shall theretofore have been granted under the Plan, adversely
affect the rights of such Participant under such Award, and further provided
that such amendment shall not change the maximum number of shares available for
awarding to all Participants or which may be awarded to any Participant as a

     A meeting of the Board of Directors of CBI Industries, Inc. was held at the
office of the Company in Oak Brook, Illinois at 8:45 A.M. on August 6, 1985.

     All the directors were present except Mr. C.W. Lake, Jr. Messrs. R.L.
Brunot and B.T. Adams were present for part of the meeting. Mr. Pogue presided
and Mr. Craigmile acted as secretary.

     On motion made, seconded and carried, the minutes of the Board meeting held
June 4, 1985 were approved.

     Mr. Pogue said that formal action needed to be taken on management's
recommendation that people terminated as a result of the Company's recent force
reduction do not forfeit shares awarded pursuant to the Company's restricted
stock award plan. After discussion, and on motion made, seconded and carried,
the following resolution was adopted:

          RESOLVED, that the release of restrictions on stock awarded to a
     Participant under the CBI 1983 Restricted Stock Award Plan ("the 1983
     Plan") or under the CBI Restricted Stock Award Plan ("the 1978 Plan") who
     may be involuntarily terminated pursuant to a program or plan of work force
     reduction, as determined by the Salary and Benefits Committee, shall occur
     under the terms of the 1983 Plan as though such Participant had Retired;
     provided, however, in the event such Participant is reemployed prior to the
     second anniversary of the date of such termination by CBI Industries, Inc.,
     or any of its subsidiaries, the release of such restrictions shall occur in
     accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of the 1978 Plan or the
     1983 Plan, as the case may be, as though such termination had not occurred.

     There was a discussion concerning the cost of termination benefits
resulting from the Company's recent force reduction and the fact that funds were
available in the pension trust to cover such costs and, additionally, pay for
retiree medical benefits. After discussion, and on motion made, seconded and
carried, the following resolution was adopted:

          RESOLVED, that the officers of the Company, the General Counsel, and
     the Manager of Employee Benefits, as Plan Administrator of the CBI Pension
     Plan, are jointly authorized to amend the CBI Pension Plan and CBI Pension
     Trust, as necessary, effective January 1, 1985, to provide for the
     following:

          1. Payment of special severance pay benefits from the Trust to Company
          or Participating Affiliate employees terminated from employment under
          a formal work force reduction program conducted over a specified time
          period, as designated by the Board.

          2. Payment from the Trust of retired Participants' medical costs under
          the Company's health care program for retired employees, net of such
          Participants' own contributions to payment of such costs, and securing
          such Internal Revenue Service or other governmental approvals, or
          filing such notices or other documents, as necessary to implement such
          payments.

     Mr. Brunot presented management's recommendation with respect to
adjustments to the carrying value of certain assets. There was a review of the
recommended adjustments considering future business prospects in the energy and
energy service markets, the effects of the recently Implemented restructuring
and the redirection of the Company's efforts in the construction services
segment, and the estimated realizable values in the event some of

the specified assets were ultimately sold, the primary purpose of the
adjustments being to establish appropriate recoverable values considering
expected future operations.  On motion made, seconded and carried, the Board
approved adjustments to the carrying value of certain assets of the Company and
its subsidiaries in the total amount of approximately $153,000,000, as set

     of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates in the event of the
     termination by the Company of the employment of such employees for reasons
     other than death, disability (as defined in the CBI Pension Plan), or
     willful and material acts by such an employee causing direct and
     substantial injury to CBI or its business, when such employees have
     otherwise fulfilled the requirements or complied with the restrictions
     placed on the grant or awards of such deferred compensation but for the 
     said termination; and

          WHEREAS, the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates maintain the
     CBI 1983 Restricted Stock Award Plan and the CBI Restricted Stock Award
     Plan of 1978 ("the Plans") to provide such deferred compensation to several

     form of awards of shares of restricted stock in recognition of past
     performance and as an incentive for future service; and

          WHEREAS, the directors have previously implemented such a policy by
     authorizing the accelerated lapse of restrictions on shares awarded under
     the Plans for certain terminations of employment of such employees pursuant
     to a program of work force reduction by virtue of the resolution of August
     6, 1985;

      participation in the Plans, whose employment may be terminated by the
      Company other than for the excepted reasons recited above throughout the
      three-year period following any "change in control" of the Company, as
      defined in the CBI Pension Plan, as amended March 4, 1986;

           RESOLVED FURTHER, that all such restrictions shall be released
