6. Forfeiture and Disgorgement Upon Competition.

            a. Notwithstanding provisions contained herein to the contrary, in
      the event the Participant violates either (i) the provisions of any
      agreement by and between the Company or a Subsidiary and the Participant
      that contains noncompete provisions, or (ii) the provisions of Section
      6(b), if the Participant has not executed an agreement that contains
      noncompete provisions, then:

                  i. both the vested and unvested portion of the unexercised
            Stock Option that relates to the Optioned Shares shall be
            immediately forfeited and the Stock Option will be terminated on
            that date;

                  ii. to the extent the Participant has any Restricted Stock on
            such date, such Restricted Stock shall be forfeited on that date;

                  iii. the Participant shall immediately tender to the Company
            all Optioned Shares acquired by the Participant within the 180-day
            period preceding the date of such event pursuant to any exercise of
            the Stock Option during such 180-day period that are still owned on
            the date of such event (all such vested Optioned Shares being
            referred to in this Agreement as "CALLABLE SHARES", for the period
            of possible forfeiture as provided herein) and the Company shall
            purchase all such Callable Shares for an amount equal to the lesser
            of (i) the Option Price the Participant paid for such Callable
            Shares, or (ii) the Fair Market Value of such Callable Shares on the
            date of such event. The Company will pay the purchase price for such
            Callable Shares to the Participant, in cash, within ten (10)
            business days after the Participant tenders the Callable Shares to
            the Company; and

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  iv. the Participant shall immediately pay to the Company any
            gain that the Participant realized on the sale of any Optioned
            Shares acquired at any time and that were sold by the Participant
            within the 180-day period preceding the date of such event and the
            one-year period following the date of such event.

            b. For purposes of this Agreement, if the Participant has not
      executed an agreement with the Company that contains noncompete
      provisions, then the Participant, by execution of this Agreement, agrees
      to the following from the Date of Grant until the date one (1) year
      immediately following the Termination of Service:

                  i. The Participant agrees that he/she shall not directly or
            indirectly either for him/herself or on behalf of any other
            corporation, partnership, person, group, or entity engage in the
            business of (i) manufacturing, distributing, selling or providing
            corrosion control services, systems, material or equipment,
            including without limitation cathodic protection services and
            pipeline integrity services, (ii) manufacturing, distributing,
            selling, or providing coatings or coating services, or (iii) any
            other business in which the Company directly or indirectly engages
            during the term of the Agreement (subparagraphs (i), (ii), and (iii)
            collectively referred to herein as the "COMPANY'S CORE BUSINESS");
            provided, however, that the restriction in this Section 6 shall
            apply only to the reasonable and limited geographic area consisting
            of any state or country in which the Company directly or indirectly
            has offices, operations, or customers, or otherwise conducts
            business. For purposes of this Section 6, the Participant shall be
            deemed to engage in a business if he directly or indirectly, engages
            or invests in, owns, manages, operates, controls or participates in
            the ownership, management, operation or control of, is employed by,
            associated or in any manner connected with, or renders services or
            advice to, any business engaged in the Company's Core Business;
            provided, however, that the Participant may invest in the securities
            of any enterprise (but without otherwise participating in the
            activities of such enterprise) if (x) such securities are listed on
            any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered
            under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (y)
            the Participant does not beneficially own (as defined Rule 13d-3
            promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) in excess of
            5% of the outstanding capital stock of such enterprise.

                  ii. The Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, call
            on, solicit or take away any of the customers or potential customers
            of the Company on whom the Participant called or with whom the
            Participant became acquainted or of which the Participant learned
            during employment with the Company relating to, directly or
            indirectly, the Company's Core Business. Notwithstanding the
            foregoing, this Section 5(b) shall not limit the Participant's
            ability to (i) directly or indirectly, call on, or solicit customers
            or potential customers of the Company on whom the Participant
            called, with whom the Participant became acquainted or of which the
            Participant learned during employment with the Company with respect
            to any business other than the Company's Core Business or (ii) work
            with the Company, with the Company's prior written approval and
            authorization, to sell or assist in selling services to customers or
            potential customers of the Company on whom the Participant called,
            with whom the Participant became acquainted or of which the
            Participant learned during employment with the Company with respect
            to the Company's Core Business.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                        iii. The Participant shall not, directly or indirectly,
                  solicit for employment any employee of the Company or
                  encourage, induce, attempt to induce, or assist another to
                  induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company to
                  terminate his employment with the Company.

                        iv. The Participant shall not materially interfere, in
                  any manner, with the business, trade, goodwill, sources of
                  supply, or customers of the Company.

            The Participant agrees that if a court of competent jurisdiction
            determines that the length of time or any other restriction, or
            portion thereof, set forth in this Section 6 is overly restrictive
            and unenforceable, the court may reduce or modify such restrictions
            to those which it deems reasonable and enforceable under the
            circumstances, and as so reduced or modified, the parties hereto
            agree that the restrictions of this Section 6 shall remain in full
            force and effect. The Participant further agrees that if a court of
            competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Section
            6 is invalid or against public policy, the remaining provisions of
            this Section 6 and the remainder of this Agreement shall not be
            affected thereby, and shall remain in full force and effect.

            The Participant acknowledges that the business of the Company and
            its affiliates is international in scope and that the restrictions
            imposed by this Agreement are legitimate, reasonable and necessary
            to protect the Company's and its affiliates' investment in their
            businesses and the goodwill thereof. The Participant acknowledges
            that the scope and duration of the restrictions contained herein are
            reasonable in light of the time that the Participant has been
            engaged in the business of the Company and its affiliates, the
            Participant's reputation in the markets for the Company's and its
            affiliates' businesses and the Participant's relationship with the
            suppliers, customers and clients of the Company and its affiliates.
            The Participant further acknowledges that the restrictions contained
            herein are not burdensome to the Participant in light of the
            consideration paid therefor, which includes, without limitation, the
            Stock Option, and the other opportunities that remain open to the
            Participant. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Section 6
            shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

      7. Who May Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
Sections 4, 5 and 6 above, during the lifetime of the Participant, the Stock
Option may be exercised only by the Participant, or by the Participant's
guardian or personal or legal representative. If the Participant's Termination
of Service is due to his death prior to the date specified in Section 5.a.i.
hereof, or Participant dies prior to the termination dates specified in Sections
5.a.i., ii., iii., iv. or v. hereof, and the Participant has not exercised the
Stock Option as to the maximum number of vested Optioned Shares as set forth in
Section 4 hereof as of the date of death, the following persons may exercise the
exercisable portion of the Stock Option on behalf of the Participant at any time
prior to the earliest of the dates specified in Section 5 hereof: the personal
representative of his estate, or the person who acquired the right to exercise
the Stock Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the
Participant; provided that the Stock Option shall remain subject to the other
terms of this Agreement, the Plan, and applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

      8. No Fractional Shares. The Stock Option may be exercised only with
respect to full shares, and no fractional share of stock shall be issued.

      9. Manner of Exercise. Subject to such administrative regulations as the
Committee may from time to time adopt, the Stock Option may be exercised by the
delivery of written notice to the Committee setting forth the number of shares
of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised,

                                       5
<PAGE>

the date of exercise thereof (the "EXERCISE DATE") which shall be at least three
(3) days after giving such notice unless an earlier time shall have been
mutually agreed upon. On the Exercise Date, the Participant shall deliver to the
Company consideration with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares
to be purchased, payable as follows: (a) cash, check, bank draft, or money order
payable to the order of the Company, (b) Common Stock (including Restricted
Stock and Callable Shares) owned by the Participant on the Exercise Date, valued
at its Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, and which the Participant has not
acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to the Exercise Date, (c)
if the Optioned Shares are no longer Nonpublicly Traded, by delivery (including
by FAX) to the Company or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option
exercise form together with irrevocable instructions from the Participant to a
broker or dealer, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to sell certain of the
shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of the Stock Option or to pledge
such shares to the broker as collateral for a loan from the broker and promptly
deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay such
purchase price, and/or (d) in any other form of valid consideration that is
acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion. In the event that shares of
Restricted Stock or Callable Shares are tendered as consideration for the
exercise of a Stock Option, a number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the
exercise of the Stock Option with an Option Price equal to the value of
Restricted Stock or Callable Shares used as consideration therefor shall be
subject to the same restrictions and provisions as the Restricted Stock or
Callable Shares so tendered. For example, if 250 shares of Restricted Stock
valued at $2.00 per share are used to purchase 500 Optioned Shares at an Option
Price of $1.00 per share, all 500 Optioned Shares shall be Restricted Stock.

      Upon payment of all amounts due from the Participant, the Company shall
cause certificates for the Optioned Shares then being purchased to be delivered
to the Participant (or the person exercising the Participant's Stock Option in
the event of his death) at its principal business office within ten (10)
business days after the Exercise Date. The obligation of the Company to deliver
shares of Common Stock shall, however, be subject to the condition that if at
any time the Company shall determine in its discretion that the listing,
registration, or qualification of the Stock Option or the Optioned Shares upon
any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or
approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or
in connection with, the Stock Option or the issuance or purchase of shares of
Common Stock thereunder, then the Stock Option may not be exercised in whole or
in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval
shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not reasonably
acceptable to the Committee.

      If the Participant fails to pay for any of the Optioned Shares specified
in such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, then the Stock Option, and
right to purchase such Optioned Shares may be forfeited at the election, and in
the sole discretion, of the Company.

      10. Nonassignability.

            a. The Stock Option is not assignable or transferable by the
      Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

            b. Except as provided for in Section 9 hereof, no Restricted Stock
      or Callable Shares, or interests therein, may be sold, assigned,
      transferred (whether or not for consideration), registered for transfer,
      given, donated, subjected to an option to purchase, pledged, encumbered,
      hypothecated, or in any manner disposed of, or subjected to an agreement
      to do any of the foregoing, by the Participant except by will or by the
      laws of descent and distribution.

      11. Rights as Stockholder. The Participant will have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Stock Option until the
issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Participant for the Optioned
Shares. The Optioned Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement

                                       6
<PAGE>

regarding such Shares. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12 hereof, no
adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date
is prior to the issuance of such certificate or certificates.

      12. Adjustment of Number of Optioned Shares and Related Matters. The
number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Option, and the Option
Prices thereof, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Articles 12 -
14 of the Plan.

      13. Nonqualified Stock Option. The Stock Option shall not be treated as an
Incentive Stock Option.

      14. Voting. The Participant, as record holder of some or all of the
Optioned Shares following exercise of this Stock Option, has the exclusive right
to vote, or consent with respect to, such Optioned Shares until such time as the
Optioned Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement or a proxy is
granted pursuant to Section 15 below; provided, however, that this Section shall
not create any voting right where the holders of such Optioned Shares otherwise
have no such right.

      15. Proxies. The Participant shall execute an irrevocable proxy with
respect to any shares of Restricted Stock authorizing the Board to vote such
shares on all issues until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Restriction
Period, or (ii) the date the Restricted Stock is no longer Nonpublicly Traded.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Participant may not
grant a proxy to any person, other than a revocable proxy not to exceed 30 days
in duration granted to another stockholder for the sole purpose of voting for
directors of the Company.

      16. Community Property. Each spouse of a Participant individually is bound
by, and such spouse's interest, if any, in any Optioned Shares is subject to,
the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall create a community
property interest where none otherwise exists.

      17. Dispute Resolution.

            a. Arbitration. All disputes and controversies of every kind and
      nature between any parties hereto arising out of or in connection with
      this Agreement or the transactions described herein as to the
      construction, validity, interpretation or meaning, performance,
      non-performance, enforcement, operation or breach, shall be submitted to
      binding arbitration pursuant to the following procedures:

                  i. After a dispute or controversy arises, any party may, in a
            written notice delivered to the other parties to the dispute, demand
            such arbitration. Such notice shall designate the name of the
            arbitrator (who shall be an impartial person) appointed by such
            party demanding arbitration, together with a statement of the matter
            in controversy.

                  ii. Within 30 days after receipt of such demand, the other
            parties shall, in a written notice delivered to the first party,
            name such parties' arbitrator (who shall be an impartial person). If
            such parties fail to name an arbitrator, then the second arbitrator
            shall be named by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA").
            The two arbitrators so selected shall name a third arbitrator (who
            shall be an impartial person) within 30 days, or in lieu of such
            agreement on a third arbitrator by the two arbitrators so appointed,
            the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA. If any
            arbitrator appointed hereunder shall die, resign, refuse or become
            unable to act before an arbitration decision is rendered, then the
            vacancy shall be filled by the method set forth in this Section for
            the original appointment of such arbitrator.

                  iii. Each party shall bear its own arbitration costs and
            expenses. The arbitration hearing shall be held in Cleveland, Ohio
            at a location designated by a majority of the arbitrators. The
            Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
            shall be incorporated by reference at such hearing and the
            substantive laws of the State of Ohio (excluding conflict of laws
            provisions) shall apply. Discovery shall not be permitted in the
            arbitration.

                  iv. The arbitration hearing shall be concluded within ten (10)
            days unless otherwise ordered by the arbitrators and the written
            award thereon shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the close
            of submission of evidence. An award rendered by a majority of the
            arbitrators appointed pursuant to this Agreement shall be final and
            binding on all parties to the proceeding, shall resolve the question
            of costs of the arbitrators and all related matters, and judgment on
            such award may be entered and enforced by either party in any court
            of competent jurisdiction.

                  v. Except as set forth in Section 17.b., the parties stipulate
            that the provisions of this Section shall be a complete defense to
            any suit, action or proceeding instituted in any federal, state or
            local court or before any administrative tribunal with respect to
            any controversy or dispute arising out of this Agreement or the
            transactions described herein. The arbitration provisions hereof
            shall, with respect to such controversy or dispute, survive the
            termination or expiration of this Agreement.

      No party to an arbitration may disclose the existence or results of any
      arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
      parties; nor will any party to an arbitration disclose to any third party
      any confidential information disclosed by any other party to an
      arbitration in the course of an arbitration hereunder without the prior
      written consent of such other party.

            b. Emergency Relief. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 17 to
      the contrary, any party may seek from a court any provisional remedy that
      may be necessary to protect any rights or property of such party pending
      the establishment of the arbitral tribunal or its determination of the
      merits of the controversy or to enforce a party's rights under this
      Section 17.

      18. Participant's Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions
hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that he will not exercise the Stock Option
granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares
to the Participant hereunder, if the exercise thereof or the issuance of such
shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any
provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any
determination in this connection by the Company shall be final, binding, and
conclusive. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Participant are
subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

      19. Investment Representation. Unless the Common Stock is issued to him in
a transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, by
his execution hereof, the Participant represents and warrants to the Company
that all Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder will be acquired by the
Participant for investment purposes for his own account and not with any intent
for resale or distribution in violation of federal or state securities laws.
Unless the Common Stock is issued to him in a transaction registered under the
applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with
respect to the Common Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment
legend and shall be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered
under the applicable federal and state securities laws or the Participant
obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company
and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

                                       8

      20. Legend. The following legend shall be placed on all certificates
representing Optioned Shares:

      "The shares evidenced by this certificate are subject to a Stock Option
      Agreement containing certain rights and limitations on transfer. A copy of
      that agreement is on file at the principal place of business or the
      registered office of the Company, and a copy may be obtained without
      charge upon written request to the Company at its principal place of
      business or its registered office."

      All Optioned Shares and shares into which Optioned Shares may be converted
owned by the Participant shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and
shall be represented by a certificate or certificates bearing the foregoing
legend.

      21. Participant's Acknowledgments. The Participant acknowledges receipt of
a copy of the Plan, which is annexed hereto, and represents that he or she is

to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of
the Committee or the Board, as appropriate, upon any questions arising under the
Plan or this Agreement.

      22. Law Governing. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and

conflict of laws rule or principle of Ohio law that might refer the governance,
construction, or interpretation of this agreement to the laws of another state).

      23. No Right to Continue Service or Employment. Nothing herein shall be
construed to confer upon the Participant the right to continue in the employ or
to provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary, whether as an employee or
as a consultant or as an Outside Director, or interfere with or restrict in any
way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to discharge the Participant as
an employee, consultant or Outside Director at any time.

      24. Legal Construction. In the event that any one or more of the terms,
provisions, or agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall be held by
a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in
any respect for any reason, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term,
provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision, or agreement
that is contained in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in all
respects as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or
agreement had never been contained herein.

      25. Covenants and Agreements as Independent Agreements. Each of the
covenants and agreements that is set forth in this Agreement shall be construed
as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this
Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Participant
against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall
not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and
agreements that are set forth in this Agreement.

      26. Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Plan supersede any
and all other prior understandings and agreements, either oral or in writing,
between the parties with respect to this Stock Option and the Optioned Shares
and constitute the sole and only agreements between the parties with respect to
this Stock Option and the Optioned Shares. All prior negotiations and agreements
between the parties with respect to this Stock Option and the Optioned Shares
hereof are merged into this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges
that no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, orally or

by the Plan.

      29. Headings. The headings that are used in this Agreement are used for

      32. Tax Requirements. The Participant is hereby advised to consult
immediately with his or her own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of

execution of this Agreement, the Participant agrees that if the Participant
makes such an election, the Participant shall provide the Company with written
notice of such election in accordance with the regulations promulgated under
Code Section 83(b). The Company or, if applicable, any Subsidiary (for purposes
of this Section 32, the term "COMPANY" shall be deemed to include any applicable
Subsidiary), shall have the right to deduct from all amounts hereunder paid in
cash or other form, any Federal, state, local, or other taxes required by law to
be withheld in connection with this Award. The Company may, in its sole
discretion, also require the Participant receiving shares of Common Stock issued
under the Plan to pay the Company the amount of any taxes that the Company is
required to withhold in connection with the Participant's income arising with
respect to this Award. Such payments shall be required to be made when requested
by the Company and may be required to be made prior to the delivery

                                       10

of any certificate representing shares of Common Stock. Such payment may be made
(i) by the delivery of cash to the Company in an amount that equals or exceeds
(to avoid the issuance of fractional shares under (iii) below) the required tax
withholding obligations of the Company; (ii) if the Company, in its sole
discretion, so consents in writing, the actual delivery by the exercising
Participant to the Company of shares of Common Stock other than (A) Restricted
Stock, (B) Callable Shares, or (C) Common Stock that the Participant has not
acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to the date of exercise,
which shares so delivered have an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals or
exceeds (to avoid the issuance of fractional shares under (iii) below) the
required tax withholding payment; (iii) if the Company, in its sole discretion,
so consents in writing, the Company's withholding of a number of shares to be
delivered upon the exercise of the Stock Option other than shares that will
constitute Restricted Stock or Callable Shares, which shares so withheld have an
aggregate fair market value that equals (but does not exceed) the required tax
withholding payment; or (iv) any combination of (i), (ii), or (iii). The Company
may, in its sole discretion, withhold any such taxes from any other cash
remuneration otherwise paid by the Company to the Participant.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed
by its duly authorized officer, and the Participant, to evidence his consent and
approval of all the terms hereof, has duly executed this Agreement, as of the
date specified in Section 1 hereof.
