In the event RBX has available capacity in its existing manufacturing facilities
for the manufacture of any such Products, or can develop additional capacity in
its existing manufacturing facilities through the retooling or other
modification of such facilities for the manufacture of any such Products,
without incurring any material capital expenditure or expense in connection with
any such retooling or modification (such available capacity or additional
capacity, the "Requisite Capacity"), RBX shall, within thirty (30) days of
receiving the Nomaco Notice, provide Nomaco with written notice (the "RBX
Notice") of the terms and conditions on which it shall be willing to manufacture
and sell any such Products and shall thereafter cooperate with Nomaco in
negotiating the definitive terms and conditions that shall govern the
manufacture, sale and resale of any such Products. In no event, however, shall
either party be required to accept any terms and conditions relating to the
manufacture, sale and resale of any such Products that it determines, in the
exercise of its sole discretion, to be commercially unreasonable. In the event
RBX does not have the Requisite Capacity for the manufacture of such Products
without incurring any material capital expenditure or expense in connection
therewith, RBX shall, within thirty (30) days of receiving the Nomaco Notice,
notify Nomaco of such capacity restraint. After delivery of the notice described
in the sentence immediately preceding, neither Nomaco nor RBX shall have any
further rights, duties or obligations under this Section 3(c).

     (d) Transition Assistance. Each party shall cooperate in the transition of
manufacturing responsibilities to Nomaco during the Manufacturing Transition
Period and perform its respective obligations under the Manufacturing Transition
Plan. Payment of each party's costs and expenses incurred in connection with
such activities shall be in accordance with the Manufacturing Transition Plan.

     (e) Product Specifications. The parties shall consult with each other in
establishing Product specifications; provided, however, that all Product
specifications shall be finally determined by Nomaco in Nomaco's sole
discretion, after consultation with RBX.

may modify or discontinue any Products or Product lines in Nomaco's sole
discretion, after consultation with RBX, upon six (6) months prior written
notice to RBX. New Products (as defined herein), Products, Product lines and any
enhancement, change, improvement or addition of or to any Product will be
introduced into the Market in Nomaco's sole discretion

                                       5

<PAGE>

and Nomaco shall not be required to commercialize or introduce into the Market
any such New Product, Product, Product line, enhancement, change, improvement or
addition.

     (g) New Products. If either Nomaco or RBX (the "Developing Party") at any
time develops a new product (or an enhancement, change, improvement or addition
to an existing product) which is competitive with (or which replaces) any of the
Products in or for the Market but which is not initially included within the
meaning of "Products" as used herein (as applicable, the "New Product"), the
Developing Party shall notify the other party in writing (the "New Product
Notice") prior to manufacturing, marketing, distributing, selling or otherwise
commercializing such New Product (including by assigning or licensing to any
other Person any intellectual property rights therein), or distributing or
selling any raw materials to any Person whom the Developing Party has reason to
know intends to use, or to distribute or sell to any other Person whom the
Developing Party has reason to know intends to use, such raw materials in the
manufacture of such New Product, or entering into any letter of intent, contract
or agreement with any other Person relating to any of the foregoing. Except to
the extent the non-Developing Party otherwise elects as provided below, such New
Product shall then automatically become a "Product" covered by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement * effective as of the date of the New Product
Notice * . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the non-Developing Party may elect not
to include such New Product as a "Product" covered by this Agreement by
notifying the Developing Party in writing within sixty (60) days after the
non-Developing Party's receipt of the New Product Notice. If the non-Developing
Party makes such election * then such New Product shall not become a "Product"
covered by this Agreement and the Developing Party shall be entitled to
manufacture, market, distribute and sell, or have manufactured, marketed,
distributed and sold by any other Person, such New Product and any raw materials
for use in the manufacture thereof and the non-Developing Party shall have no
right, title or interest in or to such New Product or raw materials or to any
revenues generated from the manufacture, marketing, distribution or sale thereof
by or for the Developing Party. If a New Product becomes a "Product" covered by
this Agreement in accordance with this Section, the Developing Party shall, for
no additional consideration, grant to the non-Developing Party such licenses and
other rights, if any, as may be necessary for the non-Developing Party to
perform its obligations under this Agreement with respect to such New Product,
effective as of the date on which such New Product becomes a "Product" covered
by this Agreement.

party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this Section 9, then the Indemnified
Party must notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing of the existence of
such Third-Party Claim and must deliver copies of any documents served on the
Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that
any failure to notify the Indemnifying Party or deliver copies will not relieve
the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to
the extent) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the

the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses the Indemnified Party may
incur arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Third-Party Claim,

party to the applicable proceeding or the Indemnified Party has determined in
good faith that there would be no conflict of interest or other inappropriate
matter associated with joint representation, (D) the Third-Party Claim does not
involve, and is not likely to involve, any claim by any governmental body or
authority, (E) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not
seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (F) settlement of, or an adverse
judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith
judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or
practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party,
(G) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim
actively and diligently and (H) the Indemnifying Party keeps the Indemnified
Party apprised of all developments, including settlement offers, with respect to
the

incurred prior to the Indemnifying Party's assumption of the defense pursuant to
Section 9(c)(ii)) and (B) neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying
Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement

(A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in
any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult
with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection
therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party
promptly and periodically (but no less often than monthly) for the costs of
defending against the Third-Party Claim, including attorneys' fees and expenses,
and (C) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses the
Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third-Party Claim
to the fullest extent provided in this Section 9.

     10. Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR BODILY INJURY OR DEATH OF A PERSON

PARTY SHALL IN ANY EVENT BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, WHETHER BASED IN
CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY

the requirements of any governmental agency or the requirements of any stock
exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of such party

interests will be best served by effecting a rapid and fair resolution of any
Disputes between the parties relating to this Agreement. Therefore, each party
agrees to use all reasonable efforts to resolve all such Disputes as rapidly as
possible on a fair and equitable basis in accordance with this Section. If
either party has or becomes aware of a Dispute, such party shall promptly notify
the other party in writing. The parties shall meet in person or by telephone
within ten (10) days of delivery of such notice and seek to resolve the Dispute
by negotiation between the appropriate officers of each party, with the
resolution of the Dispute being passed to each officer at the next higher level
of authority, in turn. Each successive higher level of authority shall have
fifteen (15) days to resolve the Dispute. Such meetings shall be attended in
person or by telephone by individuals with decision-making authority to attempt
in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute prior to pursuing other
available remedies. If the parties have not succeeded in negotiating a
resolution of the Dispute within forty-five (45) days after the first such
meeting, the Dispute shall be submitted to non-binding mediation within sixty
(60) days. The mediation shall be conducted by Walter Offermann (or if such
person is unable or unwilling to serve as the mediator in accordance with
provisions hereof, the mediation will be conducted by such other person as shall
be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto and who shall have experience in
the thermal mechanical insulation industry) in the State of Delaware, U.S.A. in
accordance with the mediation procedures of the American Arbitration Association
("AAA"). Each of the parties shall pay one-half of the mediator's fees and
expenses. All other costs and expenses related to the mediation, including,
without limitation, attorneys fees and expenses, shall be paid by the party
incurring such cost or expense. If mediation does not reach a settlement of the
Dispute, either party may submit the Dispute for adjudication in any court of
competent jurisdiction described in Section 15(i). Nothing in this Section shall
prevent any party at any time from seeking injunctive relief from a court of
competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 15(f).

State of Delaware, U.S.A., excluding its conflicts of laws principles. The

U.S.A. or in the federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, U.S.A. and
hereby expressly submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts
for the purposes hereof and expressly waives any claim of improper venue and any
claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum.
