<PAGE>   2

         3.  Notice of Exercise. This Option may be exercised in whole or in
part, from time to time, in accordance with Section 2 by the delivery of written
notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the address provided in
Section 13, which notice shall:

         (a) specify the number of Shares to be purchased and the total Option
Price to be paid therefor;

         (b) if the person exercising this Option is not the Participant himself
or herself, contain or be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Committee
of such person's right to exercise this Option; and

         (c) be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price (i) in cash
or its equivalent, (ii) with the Committee's consent, by tendering previously
acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the

Participant for at least 6 months prior to such tender), (iii) with the
Committee's consent, by a combination of cash and such tendered Shares, or (iv)
with the Committee's consent, through a cashless exercise as permitted under
Federal Reserve Board Regulation T or by any other means which the Committee
deems consistent with the Plan and applicable law.

As soon as practicable after receipt of an exercise notice and full payment of
the Option Price, 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 upon the exercise. The Committee may impose such
restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to an exercise as it deems
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 blue sky or state
securities laws applicable to such Shares.

         4.  Transfer and Exercise of Option. This Option shall not be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the
Participant's lifetime, this Option may be exercised only by him or her. In
accordance with the provisions of the Plan, the Participant may, from time to
time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or
successively) who shall be entitled to exercise this Option in the event of the
Participant's death and to the extent this Option is exercisable at that time.
In the absence of any such designation, this Option may be exercised, to the
extent exercisable, by the administrator of the Participant's estate.

         5.  Status of Participant. The Participant shall not be deemed a
stockholder of the Company with respect to any of the Shares subject to this
Option, except to the extent that such Shares shall have been purchased and
transferred to him.

         6.  No Effect on Capital Structure. This Option shall not affect the
right of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof to reclassify, recapitalize or
otherwise change its capital or debt structure or to merge, consolidate, convey
any or all of its assets, dissolve, liquidate, windup, or otherwise reorganize.

         7.   Premature Expiration of Option.

         7.1 Termination of Employment Other Than For Cause. (a) If the
employment of the Participant shall terminate for any reason other than Cause,
this Option, to the extent (if any) it is not yet exercisable, shall terminate
immediately and be forfeited to the Company; provided, however, that if the
employment of the Participant shall terminate by reason of death, Disability or
Normal Retirement (as defined below) and provided further that this Option has
been held by the Participant for at least six (6) months from the date of grant
at the time of such termination, this Option, to the extent it is not yet
exercisable, shall immediately vest and remain exercisable until the earlier to
occur of one (1) year from the date of termination or the scheduled expiration
date of this Option; and provided further that the Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall have the right to immediately vest, upon any other termination
without Cause, all or any portion of this Option, subject to such terms as the
Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate,

<PAGE>   3

provided that the maximum exercise period which may be permitted upon any such
acceleration of vesting shall be the shorter of one year or the scheduled
expiration date of this Option.

             (b) To the extent that this Option is exercisable as of the
effective date of a termination other than for Cause, this Option may be
exercised by the Participant within the period beginning on the effective date
of termination and ending on the earlier to occur of the scheduled expiration
date of the Option or: (i) one year following the effective date of termination
in the case of termination by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, and
(ii) three months following such date in the case of termination for any other
reason (other than for Cause).

             (c) As used herein, "Normal Retirement" shall mean Retirement at or
after the Participant's Normal Retirement Age under the Company's tax-qualified
retirement plan.

         7.2 Termination of Employment For Cause. If the employment of the
Participant shall terminate for Cause, this Option shall terminate immediately
and be forfeited to the Company, and no additional exercise period shall be
allowed, regardless of the exercisability of this Option at the time of such
termination.

         8.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger, Etc.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, 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 subject to this Option and the Option Price as
may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate
and equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights, provided that any
fractional share resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated.

         9.  Committee Authority. Any question concerning the interpretation of
this Agreement, any adjustments required to be made under Section 8 of this
Agreement, and any controversy which may arise under this Agreement shall be
determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, which determination shall
be final, conclusive and binding on all Persons, including without limitation
the Company and the Participant.

         10. Plan Controls. The terms of this Agreement are governed by the
terms of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a
part hereof as if fully set forth herein, and in the case of any inconsistency
between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the
Plan shall control.

         11. Change In Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control,
unless otherwise specifically prohibited by law, this Option shall become
immediately exercisable and shall remain as such for the duration of its term;
provided, however, the Committee shall have authority to make any modifications
to this Option which are consistent with the provisions of the Plan and
determined by the Committee to be appropriate before the effective date of the
Change in Control.

         12. Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and right to
deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an
amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state and local taxes required by law to
be withheld with respect to the grant of this Option, its exercise or any
payment made under or as a result of this Option or the Plan. The Participant
may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to satisfy this 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. Any such election
shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Participant and comply with
one of the following requirements:

         (a) Written notice of the withholding election is delivered to the
Committee at least six months prior to the date specified by the Participant on
which the Option exercise is to occur; or

         (b) The withholding election is made in connection with an Option
exercise which occurs during a Window Period.

                                     FORM OF
                         SYBRON DENTAL SPECIALTIES, INC.
                  DIRECTOR NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

         Option granted this _nd day of ________________, 200_, by SYBRON DENTAL
SPECIALTIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the "Company"),
to (FirstName) (IT) (LastName) (hereinafter called the "Grantee") pursuant
to the Sybron Dental Specialties, Inc. 2000 Outside Directors' Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

         1. Number of Shares Optioned; Purchased Price. The Company grants to
the Grantee the right and option to purchase, on the terms and conditions
hereof, all or any part of an aggregate of 10,000 shares of Company common
stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Company Stock"), at the purchase price of
$_________ per share.

         2. Period for Exercise. This Option shall become exercisable
immediately upon the date of grant (__________ _, 200_). All rights to exercise
this Option shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) ten (10) years from the date
the Option is granted (__________ _, 200_), or (b) two (2) years from the date
the Grantee ceases to be a Director.

         3. Method of Exercising Option. Subject to Section 2, above, this
Option may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time by the Grantee
through written notice of the exercise given to the Company specifying the
number of shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment in full of the
exercise price therefor. The exercise price may be paid in cash, by check, or by
delivering shares of Company Stock which have been beneficially owed by the
Grantee, the Grantee's spouse or both of them for a period of at least six
months prior to the time of exercise ("Delivered Stock"), or a combination of
cash and Delivered Stock. Delivered Stock shall be valued at its Fair Market
Value determined as of the date of exercise of this Option. The Grantee shall
not be under any obligation to exercise this Option at any time.

         4. Method of Valuation. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Fair
Market Value of shares of Company Stock on any date shall mean the average of
the highest and lowest quoted selling prices for the Company Stock on the
relevant date, or (if there were no sales on such date) the average of the means
between the highest and lowest quoted selling prices on the nearest day before
and the nearest day after the relevant date, as reported in The Wall Street
Journal or a similar publication selected by the Committee.

         5. Deferral of Exercise. If at any time the Board of Directors of the
Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, or
qualification of securities upon any securities exchange or under any state or
federal law, or the consent or approval of any government regulatory body, is
necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of
this Option or the issue or purchase of securities hereunder, this 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 acceptable to the Board. In particular, without limitation,
although the Company intends to exert its best efforts so that the shares
purchasable upon the exercise of the Option will be registered under, or exempt
from the registration requirements of, the federal Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act") and any applicable state securities law, if the exercise of this Option
or any part of it would otherwise result in the violation by the Company of any
provision of the Act or of any state securities law, the Company may require
that such exercise be deferred until the Company has taken appropriate action to
avoid any such violation.

         6.  Nontransferability. This Option shall not be transferable or
assignable by the Grantee except by last will and testament or the laws of
descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the Grantee's lifetime
only by the Grantee or by the Grantee's guardian or legal representative;
provided, however, that this option shall be transferable in whole or in part to
a "family member" as defined in General Instruction A.1(a)(5) of Form S-8 under
the Securities Act of 1933. In the event of Grantee's death, the Grantee's
beneficiary designated pursuant to Section 14 of this Option or, in the absence
of any such designation, the personal representative of the Grantee's estate or
the person or persons to whom this Option is transferred by will or the laws of
descent and distribution may exercise this Option in accordance with its terms.

         7.  Rights as Shareholder. The Grantee shall not be deemed the holder
of any shares covered by this Option until such shares are fully paid and issued
to him/her upon exercise of this Option.

         8.  Changes in Stock. In the event any stock dividend is declared upon
the Company Stock, or if there is any stock split, stock distribution or other
recapitalization of the Company with respect to the Company Stock, resulting in
a split or combination or exchange of shares, the number and kind of shares then
subject to this Option and the per share purchase price therefor shall be
proportionately and appropriately adjusted without any change in the aggregate
purchase price to be paid therefor.

         9.  Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of
this Option shall be addressed to the Company, in care of its Secretary, at 1717
W. Collins Ave, Orange, CA 92867. Any notice to be given to the Grantee may be
addressed to the Grantee at his/her address as it appears on the Company's
records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in
writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given if
and when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as
aforesaid, certified and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office or branch
post office regularly maintained by the United States Government.

         10. Provisions of the Plan Controlling. This Option is subject in all
respects to the provisions of the Plan. In the event any conflict between any
provision of this Option and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the
Plan shall control. Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

         11. 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.

         12. Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to
sell and deliver shares of stock pursuant to an exercise of this Option shall be
subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and the obtaining of all
such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or desirable
by the Board of Directors of the Company, including (without limitation) the
satisfaction of any applicable federal, state and local tax withholding
requirements (subject to the provisions of Section 6.05 of the Plan).

         13. Construction. Except as otherwise required by applicable federal
laws, this Option shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the state of the Company's incorporation.

         14. Beneficiary Designation. The Grantee may, from time to time, name
any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively)
who shall be entitled to exercise this Option in accordance with its terms in
the event of Grantee's death before he or she exercises (or transfers, if
permitted by this Option) all of his or her outstanding options. Each such
designation shall revoke all prior designations, shall be in a form prescribed
by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Grantee in writing
with the Human Resources Department of the Company.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused these presents to be
executed in its behalf by its President and attested by its Secretary or one of
its Assistant Secretaries, and the Grantee has hereunto set his/her hand and
seal, all as of the day and year first above written, which is the date of the
granting of the Option evidenced hereby.
