Amended and Restated as of November 11, 2008

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated as of November 11, 2008 (the “Effective Date”) by and between K-TRON INTERNATIONAL, INC., a New Jersey corporation (“K-Tron”), and KEVIN C. BOWEN (the “Employee”).

K-Tron and the Employee are parties to an Employment Agreement dated January 1, 1992 (the “Existing Agreement”), which provides for the Employee’s employment by K-Tron or another member of the K-Tron Group (K-Tron and its subsidiaries as they may exist from time to time are collectively referred to herein as the “K-Tron Group” and each is sometimes individually referred to herein as a “member” of the K-Tron Group), upon the terms and conditions therein set forth.

K-Tron and the Employee desire to amend the Existing Agreement in various respects, including to comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree that the Existing Agreement is amended and restated as follows:

1. Employment. K-Tron agrees that either K-Tron or another member of the K-Tron Group will employ the Employee, and the Employee hereby accepts such employment and agrees to perform his duties and responsibilities hereunder, in accordance with the terms, conditions and other provisions hereinafter set forth.

1.1 Employment Term. The employment term under the Existing Agreement commenced on January 1, 1992. The “Employment Term” under this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated in accordance with Section 8 hereof.

1.2 Duties and Responsibilities. During the Employment Term, the Employee shall be employed by K-Tron or another member of the K-Tron Group, as determined by K-Tron, and he shall perform all duties and accept all responsibilities incidental to any position in which he shall be so employed or as may be assigned to him by the Board of Directors of K-Tron (the “K-Tron Board”) or its chief executive officer and shall cooperate fully with the K-Tron Board and K-Tron’s chief executive officer. If the Employee is employed by another member of the K-Tron Group, the foregoing reference to the K-Tron Board and to K-Tron’s chief executive officer shall also be deemed to include the board of directors and chief executive officer of such other member.

1.3 Extent of Service. During the Employment Term, the Employee shall use his reasonable best efforts in the business of the member of the K-Tron Group by which he is employed, and he shall devote substantially his full time, attention and energy to the business of the member of the K-Tron Group by which he is employed and to the performance of his services and the discharge of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. Except as provided in Section 5 hereof, the foregoing shall not be construed as preventing the Employee from making investments in other businesses or enterprises or from being engaged in civic or charitable affairs, provided that the Employee agrees not to become engaged in any other activity which may interfere with his ability to discharge his duties and responsibilities hereunder to K-Tron or another member of the K-Tron Group. The Employee further agrees not to work on either a part time or independent contractual basis for any other business or enterprise during the Employment Term without the prior written approval of the K-Tron Board.

1.4 Compensation and Benefits.

(a) For all the services rendered during the Employment Term by the Employee hereunder as an employee of a member of the K-Tron Group, such member of the K-Tron Group by which he is employed shall pay the Employee a base salary (“Base Salary”) at an annual rate not less than the rate in effect on the Effective Date, which shall be payable in installments at such times as such member of the K-Tron Group customarily pays its other senior level executives (but in no event less often than monthly). Such Base Salary may be increased from time to time during the Employment Term in the sole discretion of the K-Tron Board or any duly authorized committee thereof, and any such increased salary shall thereafter be the Employee’s new Base Salary for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either the K-Tron Board or K-Tron’s chief executive officer, or the board of directors or chief executive officer of any other member of the K-Tron Group employing the Employee, shall have the right at any time or times to reduce the Employee’s Base Salary if such reduction is generally being made for other officers of K-Tron or of other members of the K-Tron Group holding comparable positions. The Employee shall also be entitled to receive bonus payments in the sole discretion of the K-Tron Board or any duly authorized committee thereof.

(b) In addition to such annual salary and bonus payments (if any), the Employee shall be entitled to a car allowance (“Car Allowance”) of not less than $12,000 annually, which shall be earned in bi-weekly installments. The Employee shall also be entitled to annual paid vacation of five weeks per year, and he shall also be entitled to participate in such employee benefit plans of K-Tron as may exist from time to time on the same basis as other senior level executives of K-Tron.

2. Reimbursement of Expenses. The member of the K-Tron Group employing the Employee shall reimburse the Employee for all ordinary and necessary out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by him in connection with the discharge of his duties and responsibilities hereunder during the Employment Term in accordance with such company’s expense approval procedures then in effect and upon presentation to such company by the Employee of an itemized account and written proof of such expenses.

3. Developments. The Employee shall disclose fully, promptly and in writing to K-Tron or to any other member of the K-Tron Group by which he is employed any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements, modifications and the like, whether patentable or not, which he conceives, makes or develops, solely or jointly with others, while employed by K-Tron or another member of the K-Tron Group and which (a) relate to the business, work or activities of any member of the K-Tron Group or (b) result from or are suggested by the carrying out of his duties hereunder, or from or by any information which he may receive while employed by K-Tron

or another member of the K-Tron Group. The Employee hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to K-Tron or its designee all of his right, title and interest in and to any and all such inventions, discoveries, improvements, modifications and the like and agrees to take all such actions as may be requested by K-Tron at any time with respect to any such invention, discovery, improvement, modification or the like to confirm or evidence such assignment, transfer and conveyance. Furthermore, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of K-Tron, the Employee shall execute and deliver to K-Tron, or to another member of the K-Tron Group designated by K-Tron, any and all instruments, documents and papers, give evidence and do any and all other acts which, in the opinion of counsel for K-Tron, are or may be necessary or desirable to document such assignment, transfer and conveyance or to enable K-Tron or such other member of the K-Tron Group to file and prosecute applications for and to acquire, maintain and enforce any and all patents, trademark registrations or copyrights under United States or foreign law with respect to any such inventions, discoveries, improvements, modifications or the like or to obtain any extension, validation, reissue, continuance or renewal of any such patent, trademark or copyright. K-Tron or such other member of the K-Tron Group shall be responsible for the preparation of any such instruments, documents and papers and for the prosecution of any such proceedings and shall reimburse the Employee for all reasonable expenses incurred by him in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.

4. Confidential Information. The Employee acknowledges that, by reason of his employment by K-Tron or another member of the K-Tron Group, he will have access to confidential information of the K-Tron Group, including, without limitation, information and knowledge pertaining to business strategies, financial performance, products, inventions, discoveries, improvements, innovations, designs, ideas, trade secrets, proprietary information, manufacturing, packaging, advertising, distribution and sales methods, customer and client lists and relationships between members of the K-Tron Group and dealers, distributors, sales representatives, wholesalers, customers, clients, suppliers and others who have business dealings with such members (“Confidential Information”). The Employee acknowledges that such Confidential Information is a valuable and unique asset of K-Tron and the other members of the K-Tron Group and covenants that, both during and after the Employment Term, he will not disclose any such Confidential Information to any person (except as his duties as an employee of K-Tron or another member of the K-Tron Group may require) without the prior written authorization of the K-Tron Board. The obligation of confidentiality imposed by this Section 4 shall not apply to information which appears in issued patents or printed publications, which otherwise becomes generally known in the industry through no act of the Employee in breach of this Agreement or which is required to be disclosed by court order or applicable law.

5. Non-Competition. During (a) the Employment Term and (b) for one year thereafter only in the event that such Employment Term is terminated under any of Section 8.1 (Voluntary Resignation), 8.2 (Partial or Total Disability) or 8.4 (Cause) hereof, the Employee shall not, unless acting as an employee pursuant hereto or with the prior written consent of the K-Tron Board, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, finance, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing or control of, or be connected as an officer, director, employee, partner, principal, agent, representative, consultant or otherwise with, or use or permit his name to be used in connection with, any business or enterprise engaged in the business of designing, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, selling or distributing feeding, pneumatic conveying or size reduction equipment, or in any other business

then engaged in by K-Tron or any other member of the K-Tron Group, within (x) any state of the United States or the District of Columbia or (y) any other country in which K-Tron or any other member of the K-Tron Group has engaged in any such business within the prior year or is about to engage in any such business; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not be construed to prohibit the passive ownership by the Employee of not more than 1% of the equity of any entity which is engaged in any of the foregoing businesses having a class of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In the event that the provisions of this Section 5 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or other limitations permitted by applicable law.

6. No Solicitation. During (a) the Employment Term and (b) for one year thereafter only in the event that such Employment Term is terminated under any of Section 8.1 (Voluntary Resignation), 8.2 (Partial or Total Disability) or 8.4 (Cause) hereof, the Employee shall not, unless acting as an employee pursuant hereto or with the prior written consent of the K-Tron Board, (x) call on or solicit, either directly or indirectly, any person, firm, corporation or other entity who or which is, or within two years prior thereto had been, a customer of any member of the K-Tron Group, with respect to any matters involving the designing, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, selling or distributing of feeding, pneumatic conveying or size reduction equipment or involving any other business then engaged in by any member of the K-Tron Group, or (y) knowingly solicit for employment any person who is an employee of any member of the K-Tron Group (or who was such an employee within six months prior to any such termination).

7. Equitable Relief.

7.1 The Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 hereof are, in view of the nature of the business of K-Tron and the other members of the K-Tron Group, reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the K-Tron Group, that K-Tron would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, that the business of the K-Tron Group is international in scope and that any violation of any provision of those Sections could result in irreparable injury to K-Tron and the other members of the K-Tron Group.

7.2 The Employee agrees that in the event of any violation of the restrictions referred to in Section 7.1 above, K-Tron and any other member of the K-Tron Group shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damages, and to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which K-Tron or any other member of the K-Tron Group may be entitled.

7.3 The Employee irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that in the event of any violation of the restrictions referred to in Section 7.1 above, an action may be commenced for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable relief in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Gloucester or Camden County, New Jersey or in any other court of competent jurisdiction. The Employee hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that he may now or hereafter have to such jurisdiction or to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Employee agrees that effective service of process may be made upon him by mail under the notice provisions contained in Section 13 hereof and that all pleadings, notices and other papers may be served upon him in the same manner.

7.4 The non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Sections 5 and 6 above shall be extended by any time period during which the Employee is in violation of any such provisions.

7.6 The Employee represents and acknowledges that (a) he has been advised by K-Tron to consult his own legal counsel in respect of this Agreement and (b) he has had full opportunity to do so.

8. Termination.

8.1 Voluntary Resignation. The Employee may terminate the Employment Term effective upon not less than 90 days prior written notice to K-Tron.

For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of the Employment Term for Good Reason under Section 8.6 below shall not constitute a termination under this Section 8.1.

8.2 Partial or Total Disability. If in the good faith judgment of the K-Tron Board, based upon the advice of two disinterested physicians, the Employee is unable to perform his duties and responsibilities hereunder by reason of illness, injury or incapacity for six consecutive months, or for six months during any 12-month period, during which time K-Tron or the member of the K-Tron Group actually employing the Employee at the time of his disability shall continue to compensate the Employee hereunder (with such compensation to be reduced by the amount of any payments due the Employee for this time period under any applicable disability benefit programs, including Social Security disability, worker’s compensation and disability retirement benefits), the Employment Term may be terminated by K-Tron. In the event the Employee is terminated for disability, neither K-Tron nor any other member of the K-Tron Group shall have any further liability or obligation to the Employee except for any earned but unpaid Base Salary and Car Allowance, Unpaid Awarded Bonus, and any benefits or payments (excluding any other severance benefits or payments) payable to the Employee under any applicable formal policy or plan of any member of the K-Tron Group which covered the Employee at the termination date of the Employment Term.

8.3 Death. In the event that the Employee dies during the Employment Term, the member of the K-Tron Group actually employing the Employee at the time of his death shall pay to his executors, administrators or personal representatives, as appropriate, an amount equal to his then-annual Base Salary which he would otherwise have earned for the month in which he dies and for three months thereafter. Payment of such amount shall be made in a lump sum within 30 days after the Employee’s death. Thereafter, neither K-Tron nor any other member of the K-Tron Group shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder to the Employee’s executors, administrators, personal representatives, heirs, assigns or any other person claiming under or through him, except for any earned but unpaid Base Salary and Car Allowance, Unpaid Awarded Bonus, and any benefits or payments (excluding any other severance benefits or payments) payable to the Employee under any applicable formal policy or plan of any member of the K-Tron Group which covered the Employee at the time of his death.

8.4 For Cause. The Employment Term may be terminated at any time by K-Tron, by action taken in good faith by the K-Tron Board, for “Cause.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the failure of the Employee to observe or perform (other than by reason of illness, injury or incapacity) any of the material terms or provisions of this Agreement provided that the Employee has been given written notice of such failure and such failure has continued for 30 days thereafter, dishonesty, disloyalty, willful misconduct, conviction of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude, misappropriation of funds, habitual insobriety, substance abuse, similar like cause, any action on the part of the Employee involving willful and deliberate malfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder, any other action on the part of the Employee that is damaging or detrimental in a significant way to any member of the K-Tron Group or any willful violation by the Employee of a written directive from the K-Tron Board or K-Tron’s chief executive officer. Should the Employment Term terminate pursuant to this Section 8.4, neither K-Tron nor any other member of the K-Tron Group shall have any liability or obligation to the Employee after the date on which the Employment Term ends except for any earned but unpaid Base Salary and Car Allowance, Unpaid Awarded Bonus, and any benefits or payments (excluding any severance benefits or payments) payable to the Employee under any applicable formal policy or plan of any member of the K-Tron Group which covered the Employee at the termination date of the Employment Term.

8.5 Without Cause.

(a) K-Tron, by action of the K-Tron Board, may terminate the Employee’s employment and the Employment Term at any time without Cause upon 30 days written notice to the Employee.

(b) Upon termination by K-Tron without Cause, if the Employee executes and does not revoke a written Release (as defined below), the Employee shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to 100% of the Employee’s then-annual Base Salary and Car Allowance. The lump sum payment shall be made within 30 days after the effective date of the Employee’s termination of employment. Upon payment, neither K-Tron nor any other member of the K-Tron Group shall have any further liability or obligation to the Employee hereunder after the date of termination of the Employment Term except for any earned but unpaid Base Salary and Car Allowance, Unpaid Awarded Bonus, and any benefits or payments (excluding any other severance benefits or payments) payable to the Employee under any applicable formal policy or plan of any member of the K-Tron Group which covered the Employee at the termination date of the Employment Term.

8.6 Good Reason.

(a) The Employee may initiate a termination of the Employee’s employment and the Employment Term by resigning for Good Reason (as defined below) in accordance with this Section 8.6. Upon resignation by the Employee for Good Reason, if the Employee executes and does not revoke a written Release, the Employee shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to 100% of the Employee’s then-annual Base Salary and Car Allowance. The lump sum payment shall be made within 30 days after the effective date of the Employee’s termination of employment. Upon payment, neither K-Tron nor any other member of the K-Tron Group shall have any further liability or obligation to the Employee hereunder after the date of termination of the Employment Term except for any earned but unpaid Base Salary and Car Allowance, Unpaid Awarded Bonus, and any benefits or payments (excluding any other severance benefits or payments) payable to the Employee under any applicable formal policy or plan of any member of the K-Tron Group which covered the Employee at the termination date of the Employment Term.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, before a Change of Control (as defined below), “Good Reason” means any action or inaction that constitutes a material breach of this Agreement by K-Tron or any other member of the K-Tron Group actually employing the Employee at the time, including the failure of K-Tron or any other such member of the K-Tron Group to obtain from its successors the express assumption and agreement required under Section 15.3 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, on and after a Change of Control, “Good Reason” means:

(i) A material diminution in the Employee’s Base Salary;

(ii) A material change in the geographic location at which the Employee must perform services (which, for purposes of this Agreement, means relocation of the Employee’s principal location of work to any location that is in excess of 50 miles from the location immediately prior to such relocation);

(iii) A material diminution in the Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities; or

(iv) Any action or inaction that constitutes a material breach of this Agreement by K-Tron or any other member of the K-Tron Group actually employing the Employee at the time, including the failure of K-Tron or any other such member of the K-Tron Group to obtain from its successors the express assumption and agreement required under Section 15.3 hereof.

In order for the Employee to terminate employment for Good Reason, the Employee must provide written notice to K-Tron (or any successor thereto) specifying the event that constitutes Good Reason within 90 days of the initial occurrence of such event. K-Tron (or any successor thereto) shall have 30 days following the receipt of such notice in which to remedy such event. If K-Tron (or any successor thereto) does not remedy such event within such 30-day cure period, the Employee’s employment must terminate within 60 days after the end of the 30-day cure period in order for the termination to be on account of Good Reason.

(i) a liquidation or dissolution of K-Tron or the sale (excluding transfers to subsidiaries) of all or a substantial majority of the assets of K-Tron or the K-Tron Group occurs;

(ii) as a result of a tender offer, exchange offer, stock purchase (excluding a redemption approved by the K-Tron Board which is not in connection with any of the other events mentioned in this clause (ii)), other stock acquisition, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reverse stock split, sale or transfer of assets or other transaction, any person or group (as such terms are used in and under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) other than the Employee or a group which includes the Employee becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13-d under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of K-Tron representing more than 15% of the common stock of K-Tron or the combined voting power of K-Tron’s then outstanding securities; or

(iii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who, at the beginning of such period, constitute the K-Tron Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for election by K-Tron’s shareholders, of at least two-thirds of the directors who were not directors at the beginning of such period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of the period or who, in connection with their election or nomination, received the foregoing two-thirds approval.

8.7 Payment in Lieu of Health Coverage. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event of the termination of the Employment Term by K-Tron without Cause under Section 8.5 hereof or by the Employee for Good Reason under Section 8.6 hereof, if the Employee executes and does not revoke a written Release, K-Tron shall pay the Employee a lump sum cash payment equal to the cost that would be incurred by the Employee to continue medical and other health care benefits for the period following the effective date of the Employee’s termination of employment through the first anniversary of the effective date of the Employee’s termination of employment, less the cost paid by active K-Tron employees for comparable coverage. The lump sum payment shall be paid within 30 days after the effective date of the Employee’s date of termination of employment. The cost of medical and other health care benefits shall be calculated pursuant to the cost sharing arrangement relating to medical and other health care benefits in effect between K-Tron and the Employee immediately before the effective date of the Employee’s termination of employment. K-Tron shall also pay to the Employee an amount equal to the estimated federal, state and local income and FICA taxes on the amount paid to the Employee under this Section 8.7, on the same payment date as the lump sum payment described above.

9. Survival. Notwithstanding the termination of the Employment Term for any reason whatsoever, the obligations of the Employee under Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect for the periods therein provided, and the provisions for equitable relief found in Section 7 hereof shall continue in force.

10. Mitigation.

Any award entered by the arbitrators shall be final, binding and nonappealable (except as provided by applicable statutory law), and judgment may be entered thereon by either party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall be specifically enforceable. The arbitrators shall have no authority to modify any provision of this Agreement or to award a remedy for a dispute involving this Agreement other than a benefit specifically provided under or by virtue of the Agreement.

Otherwise, each party shall be responsible for its or his own expenses relating to the conduct of the arbitration (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and shall share the fees of the AAA and the arbitrators.

The accumulated postponed amount, with interest as described below, shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 10 days after the end of the six-month period.
