         1.1 Establishment of the Plan and Effective Date. Sybron Dental
Specialties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby establishes a
long-term incentive plan to be known as the "Sybron Dental Specialties, Inc.
2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan" (the "Plan"). The Plan permits the granting of
Nonqualified Stock Options to Employees of the Company.

         The Plan shall be effective as of September 25, 2001 (the "Effective
Date").

         1.2 Purpose of the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the
success, and enhance the value, of the Company by linking the personal interests
of Participants to those of Company shareholders, and by providing Participants
with an incentive for outstanding performance.

         The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in
its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of Participants upon
whose judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct of its
operation largely is dependent.

         1.3 Duration of the Plan. The Plan commenced on the Effective Date, as
described in Section 1.1 herein, and shall remain in effect, subject to the
right of the Board of Directors to terminate the Plan at any time pursuant to
Article 8 herein, until all Shares subject to it shall have been purchased or
acquired according to the Plan's provisions. However, in no event may an Award
be granted under the Plan on or after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Plan's
Effective Date.

                                    ARTICLE 2

               underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an
               offering of securities or any company owned directly or

               the same proportion as their ownership of the Company) is or
               becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly (other than

               at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the surviving
               entity or any parent thereof), of securities of the Company

               for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to
               constitute a majority of the Board, provided that a director
               whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an
               actual or threatened election contest would not be deemed an
               approved director for purposes of determining whether approved
               directors have ceased to constitute a majority of the Board;

                    (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or
               consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other

               to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of
               the surviving entity or any parent thereof, or other than a
               merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization
               of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person
               (subject to the same exclusions as set forth in subsection (i)
               above) is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or
               indirectly, of securities in the Company (excluding securities
               acquired by such person directly from the Company or any of its
               affiliates), representing 25% or more of the combined voting
               power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or

                    (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of
               complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale
               or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the
               Company's assets.

                                 ADMINISTRATION

         3.1 The Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation
Committee of the Board, or by any other Committee appointed by the Board
consisting of not less than two (2) Directors who are not Employees. The members
of the Committee shall be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the
discretion of, the Board of Directors.

         It is intended that the Committee members shall, at all times, qualify
as "non-employee directors" pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.
However, the failure to so qualify shall not affect the validity of any Awards
made or other actions taken by the Committee in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan. If for any reason the Committee does not qualify to administer the
Plan, as contemplated by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, the Board of
Directors may appoint a new Committee so as to comply with Rule 16b-3.

         3.2 Authority of the Committee. The Committee shall have full power,
except as limited by law or by the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the
Company, and subject to the provisions herein, to determine the size of grants
of Awards; to determine the terms and conditions of such Award grants in a
manner consistent with the Plan; to construe and interpret the Plan and any
agreement or instrument entered into under the Plan; to establish, amend, or
waive rules and regulations for the Plan's administration; and (subject to the
provisions of Article 8 herein) to amend the terms and conditions of any
outstanding Award to the extent such terms and conditions are within the
discretion of the Committee as provided in the Plan; provided, however, that the
Committee may not re-price, or cancel and re-grant, any Option to reduce the
Option Price*. Further, the Committee shall make all other determinations which
may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. As permitted
by law, the Committee may delegate its authorities as identified hereunder.

         3.3 Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions made by the
Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, and all related orders and
resolutions of the Board of Directors, shall be final, conclusive, and binding
on all persons, including the Company, its stockholders, Employees,
Participants, and their estates and beneficiaries.

                                    ARTICLE 4
                           SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

         4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3
herein, the total number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan is one
million (1,000,000). These Shares may be either authorized but unissued or
reacquired Shares. The maximum number of Shares which may be covered by Awards
issued to any Employee may not exceed 1,000,000 Shares during any fiscal year.

         4.2 Lapsed Awards. If any Award granted under the Plan is canceled,
terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason, then, subject to such rules and
regulations as may be promulgated




                                       4

<PAGE>



by the Committee with respect thereto, any Shares subject to such Award may
again be available for the grant of any Award under the Plan.

         4.3 Adjustments in Authorized Shares. In the event of any merger,
reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock
dividend, split-up, share combination, or other change in the corporate
structure of the Company affecting the Shares, such adjustment shall be made in
the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan, and in the
number and class of and/or price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards under
the Plan, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee,
in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights; and
provided that the number of Shares subject to any Award granted shall always be
a whole number.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                          ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

         5.1 Eligibility. Persons eligible to participate in the Plan include
all Employees of the Company, as determined by the Committee, other than
Employees who are officers (as that term is defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the
Exchange Act) or Directors.

         5.2 Actual Participation. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee may, from time to time, select from all eligible Employees, those to
whom Awards shall be granted, and shall determine the nature and amount of each
Award grant.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                                  STOCK OPTIONS

         6.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan,
Options may be granted to Employees at any time and from time to time, as shall
be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have discretion in
determining the number of Shares subject to Options granted to each Participant.

         6.2 Award Agreement. Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement that shall specify the Option Price, the duration of the Option, the
number of Shares to which the Option pertains, and such other provisions as the
Committee shall determine.

         6.3 Option Price. The Option Price for each grant of an Option shall be
determined by the Committee; provided that the Option Price shall not be less
than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option
is granted.

         6.4 Duration of Options. Each Option shall expire at such time as the
Committee shall determine at the time of grant; provided, however, that no
Option shall be exercisable later than the tenth (10th) anniversary date of its
grant.

         6.5 Exercise of Options. Options granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as
the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for
each grant or for each Participant.






                                       5

<PAGE>


         6.6 Payment. Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written
notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company, setting forth the number of
Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by
payment in full of the Option Price.

         The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the
Company in full either: (a) in cash or its equivalent, or (b) with the
Committee's consent, by tendering previously acquired Shares having a Fair
Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price (provided
that the Shares which are tendered must have been held by the Participant for at
least six (6) months prior to their tender to satisfy the Option Price), or (c)
with the Committee's consent, by a combination of (a) and (b).

         The Committee also may allow cashless exercise as permitted under
Federal Reserve Board's Regulation T, subject to applicable securities law
restrictions, or by any other means which the Committee determines to be
consistent with the Plan's purpose and applicable law. The proceeds from such a
payment shall be added to the general funds of the Company and shall be used for
general corporate purposes.

         As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of
exercise and full payment, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, in the
Participant's name, Share certificates in an appropriate amount based upon the
number of Shares purchased under the Option(s).

         6.7 Restrictions on Share Transferability. The Committee shall impose
such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option
under the Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation,
restrictions under applicable Federal securities laws, under the requirements of
any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or
traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such
Shares.

         6.8 Termination of Employment. If the employment of a Participant shall
terminate for any reason other than Cause, all Options held by the Participant
which are not vested as of the effective date of employment termination
immediately shall be forfeited to the Company (and shall once again become
available for grant under the Plan). However, the Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall have the right to immediately vest all or any portion of such
Options, subject to such terms as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems
appropriate; and provided that the maximum exercise period which may be
permitted following employment termination is the shorter of: (i) one (1) year;
or (ii) the scheduled expiration date of the Option.

         Options which are vested as of the effective date of employment
termination may be exercised by the Participant within the period beginning on
the effective date of employment termination, and ending (a) one (1) year
following such date in the case of termination by reason of Death, Disability,
or Retirement; an (b) three (3) months following such date in the case of
termination for any other reason (and other than for Cause).

         6.9 Termination for Cause. If the employment of a Participant shall
terminate for Cause, all outstanding Options held by the Participant immediately
shall be forfeited to the Company, and no additional exercise period shall be
allowed, regardless of the vested status of the Options.

         6.10 Nontransferability of Options. No Option granted under the Plan
may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution;
provided, however, that the Committee shall have discretion to






                                       6

waive this restriction, in whole or in part, so long as any such waiver is
permitted in a plan exempt from short-swing profit liability pursuant to Rule
16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

                                    ARTICLE 7
                                CHANGE IN CONTROL

         Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless otherwise
specifically prohibited by the terms of Section 11.7 herein, any and all Options
granted hereunder shall become immediately exercisable, and shall remain as such
for the duration of their term. In addition, subject to Article 8 herein, the
Committee shall have the authority to make any modifications to Awards as
determined by the Committee to be appropriate before the effective date of the
Change in Control.

                                    ARTICLE 8
                    AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

         8.1 Amendment, Modification and Termination. With the approval of the
Board, at any time and from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend, or
modify the Plan.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, neither the
Committee nor the Board shall amend the Plan to (i) materially increase the
benefits accrued to participants under the Plan, (ii) materially increase the
aggregate number of securities that may be issued under the Plan or (iii)
materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the
Plan, without the approval of the Company's stockholders, when that approval is
required by applicable law, or deemed necessary or advisable by the Committee.*

         8.2 Awards Previously Granted. No termination, amendment, or
modification of the Plan shall in any material manner adversely affect any Award
previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the
Participant holding such Award.

                                    ARTICLE 9
                                   WITHHOLDING

         9.1 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to
deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount
sufficient to satisfy Federal, state and local taxes (including the
Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to
any grant, exercise, lapsing of restrictions, or payment made under or as a
result of the Plan.

         9.2 Share Withholding. With respect to tax withholding required upon
the exercise of Options, Participants may elect, subject to the approval of the
Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by
having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the
tax is to be determined equal to the minimum marginal total tax which could be
imposed on the transaction. All elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing
and signed by the Participant.

                             BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

         Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any
beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) who
shall be entitled to exercise his or her vested Options in the event of his or
her death before he or she exercises all vested Options. Each such designation
shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form
prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the
Participant in writing with the Human Resource Department of the Company during
the Participant's lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, vested
Options which have not been exercised prior to the Participant's death may be
exercised by the administrator of the Participant's estate.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         11.1 Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in
any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment at
any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of
the Company.

         For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant
between the Company and any one of its Subsidiaries (or between Subsidiaries)
shall not be deemed a termination of employment.

         11.2 Participation. No Employee shall have the right to be selected to
receive an Award under the Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to
receive a future Award.

         11.3 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of
the Committee, or of the Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be
imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or
resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be
a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or
failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by
him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company's approval, or paid by him or
her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding
against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at
its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to
handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of
indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to
which such persons may be entitled under the Company's Articles of Incorporation
or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may
have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

         11.4 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be
binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor
is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company.

         11.5 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the
context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the
plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

         11.6 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held
illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect
the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as
if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

         11.7 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of
Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges as may be required.

         11.8 Securities Law Compliance. Transactions under the Plan are
intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its
successors under the 1934 Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action
by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the
extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

         11.9 Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by Federal law, the
Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the Company's state of incorporation.

underlined language in Sections 3.2 and 8.1.
