                                                                   -------------

                               THIRD AMENDMENT TO

                              THE ALLEN GROUP INC.

                                1992 STOCK PLAN



        Subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company at its 1995
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 27, 1995, this Third
Amendment to The Allen Group Inc. 1992 Stock Plan, as previously amended, is
hereby adopted this 23rd day of February, 1995, to provide as follows:


      1.   Section 2 of the Plan hereby is amended by deleting Section 2 in its
           entirety and inserting in place thereof the following provisions:


           "2.  SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN.  The total number of
           shares of Common Stock with respect to which options may
           be granted and Restricted Shares may be awarded under
           the Plan shall not exceed 2,000,000. Shares awarded as
           Restricted Shares or issued upon exercise of options
           granted under the Plan may be authorized and previously
           unissued shares, issued shares which have been
           reacquired by the Company or a combination thereof. In
           the event that any Restricted Shares shall be forfeited or
           any option granted under the Plan shall terminate, expire
           or, with the consent of the optionee, be canceled as to any
           shares of Common Stock, without having been exercised in
           full, new awards of Restricted Shares may be made or new
           options may be granted with respect to such shares
           without again being charged against the maximum share
           limitation set forth above in this Section 2.  In addition,
           upon the full or partial payment of any option price by the
           transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock or
           upon satisfaction of tax withholding obligations in
           connection with any such exercise or the lapsing of
           restrictions on any Restricted Shares or any other
           payment made or benefit realized under this Plan by the
           transfer or relinquishment of shares of Common Stock,
           only the net number of shares of Common Stock actually
           issued or transferred by the Company, after subtracting
           the number of shares of Common Stock so transferred or
           relinquished, shall be charged against the maximum share
           limitation set forth above in this Section 2; provided,
           however, that the number of shares of Common Stock
           actually issued or transferred by the Company upon the
           exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed such
           maximum share limitation.

   2
            No employee shall be granted options for more than
           200,000 shares of Common Stock, or awarded more than
           100,000 Restricted Shares, under the Plan in any one
           fiscal year of the Company, subject to adjustments as
           provided in Section 7 of this Plan."



      2.   The last sentence of Section 5(a) hereby is deleted in its entirety.


      3.   Section 6(b) of the Plan hereby is amended by adding the following
           sentence after the third sentence of Section 6(b):


           "Such conditions may also include performance measures,
           which, in the case of any such award of Restricted Shares
           to an employee who is a "covered employee" within the
           meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, shall be based on
           one or more of the following criteria: earnings per share,
           market value per share, return on invested capital, return
           on operating assets and return on equity."



      All other provisions of the Plan hereby are ratified, confirmed and
approved.



      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Third Amendment to be
duly executed in its name by its duly authorized officer this 23rd day of
February, 1995.


                                                    THE ALLEN GROUP INC.
