                                    ARTICLE 2

                                    EMPLOYEES

     2.1 CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT.  (a) Nothing in this Agreement  shall require
either  Marine or Chaparral to employ any person who  declines  employment  with
Marine or  Chaparral  on or after the  Spinoff  Date;  and (b)  nothing  in this

Spinoff Date.

     3.2  VACATION,  HOLIDAY,  SICK LEAVE AND  SHORT-TERM  DISABILITY  POLICIES.

exchange for cash in an amount to be determined at a later date.

     3.5 SEVERANCE  LIABILITIES.  Marine and Chaparral each acknowledge that the
transactions  contemplated  by the  Spinoff  will  not  result  in RPC  being or
becoming liable for any severance pay to any Employee and Marine shall indemnify
RPC in respect thereof.

     3.6 2001  EMPLOYEE  STOCK  INCENTIVE  PLAN.  On or before the Spinoff Date,
Marine shall adopt the Marine Products Corporation 2001 Employee Stock Incentive
Plan (the "Marine 2001 Plan").  Following the completion of the Spinoff,  Marine
Employees  who are not also  employees  of RPC with  outstanding  RPC options or
performance  restricted  stock  awards that have not been earned and issued into
escrow  immediately  prior to the  effective  date of the Spinoff  will  receive
options or awards of Marine  under the Marine 2001 Plan  equivalent  in value to
the RPC stock options or awards at such time as follows:

          (a) Each  Employee of Marine  with  outstanding  RPC  options  will be
granted  replacement  options with the exercise price  determined by multiplying
the Average  Percentage  (as defined  below) by two times the original  exercise
price, and the number of shares subject to such replacement  grant determined by
dividing the number of shares  subject to options  currently held by the Average
Percentage  and  dividing  the result by two.  "Average  Percentage"  shall mean
one-half of Marine's  average closing stock price on the American Stock Exchange
("AMEX"),  or if the Marine  common stock is not traded on the AMEX,  such other
exchange or quotation  system on which it is traded,  during the 10  consecutive
trading  days  beginning  on the trading  day that is 10 trading  days after the
effective date of the Spinoff divided by the sum of (i) the daily average of the
closing stock price of RPC and (ii) one-half of the daily average of the closing

                                       4
<PAGE>

stock  price of Marine,  in each case  during the 10  consecutive  trading  days
beginning on the trading day that is 10 trading days after the effective date of
the Spinoff.

          (b)  Each  Employee  of  Marine  with   outstanding   RPC  performance
restricted stock awards that have not been earned and issued into escrow will be
granted  the  number of  replacement  shares  of  performance  restricted  stock
determined by dividing the number of shares  subject to  performance  restricted
stock grants by the Average  Percentage  and dividing the result by two, and the
average  stock  price  condition  for  each  grant  of  replacement  performance
restricted  stock will be determined by multiplying  each original average stock
price condition by the Average Percentage and multiplying the result by two.

          (c) Each  Employee  of Marine  with RPC  time-lapse  restricted  stock
awards or performance restricted stock awards that have been issued and are held
in escrow on the Spinoff Date shall receive an equivalent RPC replacement  grant
that allows employment by Marine to continue the grant after the Spinoff and 0.5
share of Marine  common stock for each share of RPC common stock  subject to the
RPC  replacement  grant as of the close of  business on the  Spinoff  Date.  Any
shares received  pursuant to this Section 3.6(c) shall also be held in escrow on
the same terms as the original RPC award.

          (d)  Notwithstanding  the replacement  grants of options and awards as
described  herein  this  section,  all other  provisions  and terms of any stock
option  agreements  and  time-lapse or restricted  stock  agreements  previously
entered into by an Employee  shall  continue to apply on and after the effective
time of the Spinoff  with  respect to any options or awards  previously  granted
under RPC's 1994 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, to the extent that, prior to the
effective time of the Spinoff, they have not been exercised or become void under
the terms of such agreements under which such options or awards were granted.

     3.7 DUAL  EMPLOYEES.  Each  Employee  who  continues as a RPC and Marine or
Chaparral  Employee ("Dual  Employee")  immediately after the Spinoff that holds
outstanding  RPC options or  performance  restricted  stock awards that have not
been earned and issued into escrow will receive replacement grants for one-third
of such outstanding  options and awards under the Marine 2001 Plan equivalent in
value to the options and awards  surrendered for cancellation to RPC pursuant to
the  terms  set  forth in a  Cancellation  Agreement  entered  into by such Dual
Employee and RPC.

                                    ARTICLE 4

any other legal or equitable grounds, for any punitive, consequential,  special,
indirect or  incidental  loss or damage  suffered by the other  arising  from or
related to this Agreement,  including without limitation, loss of data, profits,

arising out of Marine's  gross  negligence in an amount in excess of three times
the service fee charged for the category of service related to the Indemnifiable

such Indemnifiable Loss occurs.

          (d) Effective as of the date of this Agreement,  RPC shall  indemnify,

Marine,  as the case may be, does not contract with third parties to provide the
services rendered by RPC or Marine pursuant to this Agreement.

     8. General.

          (a) Force  Majeure.  Any delays in or failure of performance by RPC or
Marine shall not constitute a default  hereunder if and to the extent such delay
or failure of performance is caused by occurrences beyond the reasonable control
of RPC or Marine, as the case may be, including, but not limited to: acts of God
or the public enemy;  compliance  with any order or request of any  governmental
authority;  acts of war; riots or strikes or other  concerted acts of personnel;
or any other causes beyond the reasonable  control of RPC or Marine,  whether or
not of the same class or kind as those specifically named above.

          (b)  Confidentiality.  Each party shall hold and cause its  directors,
officers,  employees,  agents,  consultants  and  advisors  to hold,  in  strict
confidence,  unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative  process
or, in the opinion of its counsel, by other requirements of law, all information
concerning  the other party (except to the extent that such  information  can be
shown to have been (a) in the public domain through no fault of such  disclosing
party or (b)  lawfully  acquired  after the  Effective  Time (as  defined in the
Distribution  Agreement) on a  non-confidential  basis from other sources by the
disclosing  party), and neither party shall release or disclose such information
to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers
and other  consultants  and advisors who shall be advised of the  provisions  of
this Section and be bound by them.

          (c) Expenses.  Except as specifically provided in this Agreement or in
the  Distribution  Agreement,  all  costs  and  expenses  incurred  prior to the
Effective  Time in  connection  with the  preparation,  execution,  delivery and
implementation  of this Agreement and with the  consummation of the transactions
contemplated  by this Agreement  (including,  without  limitation,  all fees for
counsel,  accountants and financial and other advisors) shall be paid by RPC and
all such costs  incurred  thereafter  shall be paid by the party  incurring such
costs.

thereafter be made.

          (e)  Amendment  and  Waiver.  This  Agreement  may not be  altered  or
amended,  nor may any rights  hereunder be waived,  except by an  instrument  in
writing  executed by the party or parties to be charged  with such  amendment or
waiver. No waiver of any terms, provision or condition of or failure to exercise
or delay in exercising any rights or remedies under this  Agreement,  in any one
or more  instances,  shall be  deemed  to be,  or  construed  as, a  further  or
continuing waiver of any such term, provision,  condition, right or remedy or as
a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement.

          (f) Entire  Agreement.  This Agreement  together with the Distribution
Agreement  constitutes  the entire  understanding  of the  parties  hereto  with
respect to the  subject  matter  hereof,  superseding  all  negotiations,  prior
discussions  and prior  agreements and  understandings  relating to such subject
matter.  To the extent that the  provisions of this  Agreement are  inconsistent
with the  provisions  of any  Distribution  Agreement,  the  provisions  of this
Agreement shall prevail with respect to the subject matter hereof.

          (g) Parties in Interest.  Neither of the parties hereto may assign its
rights or  delegate  any of its duties  under this  Agreement  without the prior
written  consent of the other party.  This Agreement  shall be binding upon, and

                                       5
<PAGE>

shall  inure  to the  benefit  of,  the  parties  hereto  and  their  respective
successors and permitted assigns.  Nothing contained in this Agreement,  express
or  implied,  is intended to confer any  benefits,  rights or remedies  upon any
person or entity other than the RPC  Indemnitees  and Marine  Indemnitees  under
Section 6 of this Agreement.

          (h)  Further  Assurances  and  Consents.  In  addition  to the actions
specifically  provided  for  elsewhere  in this  Agreement,  each of the parties
hereto will use its  reasonable  efforts to (a) execute and deliver such further
instruments  and  documents  and take such other  actions as any other party may
reasonably  request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to
carry out the terms hereof and (b) take, or cause to be taken, all actions,  and
do, or cause to be done, all things,  reasonably necessary,  proper or advisable
under applicable laws, regulations and agreements or otherwise to consummate and
make  effective the  transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement,  including,
without  limitation,  using its  reasonable  efforts to obtain any  consents and
approvals,  make any  filings  and  applications  and remove any liens,  claims,
equity  or other  encumbrances  on any  asset of the other  party  necessary  or
desirable  in  order  to  consummate  the  transactions   contemplated  by  this
Agreement;  provided  that  no  party  hereto  shall  be  obligated  to pay  any
consideration therefor (except for filing fees and other similar charges) to any
third party from whom such  consents,  approvals and amendments are requested or
to take any action or omit to take any  action if the taking of or the  omission
to take  such  action  would  be  unreasonably  burdensome  to the  party or its
business.

          (i)  Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable and
should  any  provision  hereof  be void,  voidable  or  unenforceable  under any
applicable  law,  such  provision  shall  not  affect  or  invalidate  any other
provision of this Agreement,  which shall continue to govern the relative rights
and  duties of the  parties  as though  such  void,  voidable  or  unenforceable
provision were not a part hereof.

          (j)  Governing  Law. This  Agreement  shall be construed in accordance
with,  and governed by, the laws of the State of Georgia,  without regard to the
conflicts of law rules of such state.

which together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
