(2)

a proposal to approve on an advisory (non-binding) basis, specified compensation that may be paid or become payable to Airgas' principal executive officers, principal financial officer and three most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officers and principal financial officer in connection with the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Compensation Proposal"); and

(3)	a proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the proposal to adopt the merger agreement (the "Adjournment Proposal").
