                        INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


         THIS INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT is entered into as of September
10, 2001 by and between HMI Industries Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its
principal place of business at 6000 Lombardo Center, Seven Hills, Ohio (the
"Company") and John A. Pryor (the "Participant")

         WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the 1992 Omnibus Long-Term
Compensation plan (the "Plan"); and,

         WHEREAS Participant is a Key Employee of the Company as defined in the
Plan; and,

         WHEREAS, pursuant to section 8 of the Plan the Participant may be
granted an option to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants
contained herein, the Company and Participant hereby agree as follows:

         1. GRANT OF OPTION. There is hereby granted to Participant an option to
purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price of $1.30 per
share. The number of shares which may be purchased and the exercise price per
share are subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan. This option is intended
to be an incentive stock option within the meaning of section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

         2. EXERCISE OF OPTION. The option granted to Participant herein may be
exercised in whole or in part, subject to the following limitations on exercise:


        Effective Date        Shares Exercisable
        --------------        ------------------

        September 10, 2002       50,000
        September 10, 2003       50,000
        September 10, 2004       50,000

         3. EXPIRATION. To the extent not exercised, the option expires on
September 10, 2006, unless expiring sooner pursuant to the terms of the Plan,
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or other provisions of this
Agreement.

         4. ACCELERATION. In the event of a change in control as defined in the
Plan, this option shall become immediately exercisable with respect to all
unexercised shares.

         5. RETIREMENT. If the Participant ceases to be an employee of the
Company by reason of retirement in accordance with any retirement plan or policy
of the Company then in effect, the Participant, at any time within the six month
period following such retirement (but prior to the expiration date of the option
as specified in section 3) may exercise the option with respect to the shares
then exercisable.

         6. DEATH OF PARTICIPANT. If the Participant shall die while in the
employ of the Company, then within the one year period following his death (but
prior to the expiration date of the option as specified in section 3) the person
entitled by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution may exercise
the option without regard to the vesting schedule in section 2.

         7. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If the Participant ceases to be employed
by the Company for any reason other than retirement or death, this option shall
not be exercisable after the expiration of three months from the date employment
terminates and shall be exercisable only to the extent that it was exercisable
as of the date of termination of employment. The option must be exercised in any
event prior to the expiration date of the option specified in section 3.

         8. REGISTRATION. Participant represents and warrants that any shares
purchased by him upon the exercise of an option will be acquired for investment
only and not with a view to resale or distribution. Provided, however, that this
representation and warranty shall not be applicable to an offer for the sale or
the sale of any such shares which, at the time of such offer or sale, are
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and any
applicable state securities law, or which without such registration and apart
from the provisions of this section could be offered for sale or sold without
violation of such Act or law. Nothing herein shall require the Company to file a
registration statement or to keep such registration statement current for any
shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of options granted hereunder. If
requested by the Company, Participant agrees to sign a letter addressed to the
Company certifying investment intent. Participant acknowledges that any shares
issued without registration will be "restricted securities" as that term is
defined in Rule 144 of the Act, and that any transfer or disposition of such
shares can be accomplished only in compliance with Rule 144, the Act or other
applicable rules under the Act.

         9. LEGEND ON CERTIFICATES. Each certificate for shares of Common Stock
of the Company issued to Participant upon exercise of an option shall, in the
sole discretion of the Company, bear a legend substantially as follows:

         "The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The shares may not be sold or
transferred in the absence of such registration or an opinion of counsel that
registration is not required due to an exemption from registration under that
Act."

         10. EMPLOYMENT RIGHT. This Agreement shall not be construed as
requiring the Company to retain Participant as an employee or affect or limit
the right of the Company to terminate the employment of Participant at any time
for any reason or to give Participant any additional rights as an employee
beyond those rights granted by law or by contract. As consideration for
receiving the option, Participant agrees that he will remain in the employ of
the Company for at least one year from the date of the grant of the option,
unless his employment is terminated because of disability or with the consent of
the Company.

         11. COMPLIANCE WITH PLAN. Participant agrees to comply with all
applicable provisions of the Plan, a copy of which has been delivered to
Participant and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.

         12. CONFLICT WITH PLAN. In the event of any conflict between any term
of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall prevail. Except for
terms defined in this Agreement, the definitions contained in the Plan will
apply to this Agreement.

         13. ASSIGNMENT AND DISPOSITION. Participant shall not transfer or
assign or in any way dispose of any option granted herein except in accordance
with the Plan and applicable law.

         14. NOTICE OF EXERCISE. This option may be exercised by delivering to
the Company at the office of its Chief Financial Office a written notice, signed
by the person entitled to exercise the option and stating the number of shares
to be purchased. Such notice shall, as an essential part thereof, be accompanied
by payment of the full purchase price of the shares to be purchased. Upon
payment within the time period specified by the Company of the amount, if any,
required to be withheld for Federal, state and local tax purposes as a result of
the exercise of the option, the option shall be deemed exercised as of the date
the Company received the written notice of exercise. The Participant may satisfy
any withholding requirement by authorizing the Company at the time of exercise
to withhold from his next salary payment all or part of the amount required to
be withheld by the Company as a result of such exercise. Participant may satisfy
the withholding obligation by authorizing the Company to withhold shares from
the shares acquired hereunder equal in value to the amount required to satisfy
such withholding. Payment of the purchase price may be made in cash or in shares
equal in value to the exercise price, or partly in cash and partly in shares.
The option shall not be exercisable if the exercise would violate any applicable
state securities law, any registration or other requirements under the Act or
any applicable legal requirement of any other governmental authority.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and Participant have executed this
Incentive Stock Option Agreement as of the date indicated above.

                                           HMI INDUSTRIES INC.
