Option.

         

        (a)           Except
as otherwise provided herein, the Option shall become fully vested
and  exercisable on and after the first anniversary of the Annual
Grant Date and prior to the termination of the Option (as provided in Section

prior to such stockholder approval.

         

        
          
             

          

          
            1

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

        (b)           Exercise
of the Option shall be by written notice to the Company which must state the
election to exercise the Option, the number of whole shares of Stock for which
the Option is being exercised and such other representations and agreements as
to the Optionee’s investment intent with respect to such shares as may be
required pursuant to the provisions of this Option Agreement.  The
written notice must be signed by the Optionee and must be delivered in person,
by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, by confirmed
facsimile transmission, or by such other means as the Company may permit, to the
Vice President-Administration of the Company, or other authorized representative
of the Company, prior to the termination of the Option as set forth in Section
11, accompanied by full payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number
of shares of Stock being purchased.  The Option shall be deemed to be
exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice and the aggregate
Exercise Price.

         

        5.           Payment of
Consideration.  Except as otherwise provided below, payment of
the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares of Stock for which the
Option is being exercised shall be made (i) in cash, by check, or cash
equivalent or, (ii) by tender to the Company of whole shares of Stock owned by
the Optionee having a Fair Market Value not less than the aggregate Exercise
Price, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of
shares of Stock to the extent such tender of Stock would constitute a violation
of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption
of the Company’s stock. The Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company
of shares of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Optionee for
more than six (6) months or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the
Company.

         

        6.           Tax
Withholding.  The Company shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of an
Option, or to accept from the Optionee the tender of, a number of whole shares
of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to all or any part of the federal,
state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the
Company with respect to such Option or the shares acquired upon exercise
thereof.  Alternatively or in addition, in its sole discretion, the
Company shall have the right to require the Optionee to make adequate provision
for any such tax withholding obligations of the Company arising in connection
with the Option or the shares acquired upon exercise thereof.  The
Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock until the Company’s
tax withholding obligations have been satisfied.

         

        7.           Certificate
Registration.  The certificate for the shares as to which the
Option is exercised shall be registered in the name of the Optionee, or, if
applicable, the heirs of the Optionee.  The Company may at any time
place legends referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities
law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of Stock subject to the
provisions of this Option Agreement.  The Optionee shall, at the
request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates
representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the possession of the
Optionee in order to carry out the provisions of this Section.

         

        8.           Restrictions on Grant of the Option
and Issuance of Shares.  The grant of the Option and the
issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to
compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law
with respect to such securities.  The Option may not be exercised if
the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would constitute a violation of
any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or
regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon
which the Stock may then be listed.  In addition, the Option may not
be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall
at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the shares
issuable upon exercise of the Option or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to
the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be issued in
accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.  THE OPTIONEE IS CAUTIONED THAT
THE

         

        
          
             

          

          
            2

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

        OPTION
MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED. ACCORDINGLY,
THE OPTIONEE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTION WHEN DESIRED EVEN THOUGH THE
OPTION IS VESTED.  The inability of the Company to obtain from any
regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the
Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any
shares subject to the Option shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained.  As a condition to the
exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any
qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with
any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with
respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

         

        9.           Fractional
Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractional
shares upon the exercise of the Option.

         

        10.           Nontransferability of the
Option.  The Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the
Optionee only by the Optionee or the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative
and may not be assigned or transferred in any manner except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution.  Following the death of the
Optionee, the Option, to the extent provided in Section 6 of the Director Plan,
may be exercised by the Optionee’s legal representative or by any person
empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee’s will or under the then
applicable laws of descent and distribution.

         

        11.           Expiration of the
Option.  The Option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable
on the first to occur of the following events:

         

        (a)           the
date which is the tenth (10th)
anniversary of the Annual Grant Date unless earlier terminated pursuant to
clause (iii) below;

         

        (b)           the
expiration of one (1) month from the date of a person’s Termination of Service
for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement; or

         

        (c)           the
expiration of five (5) years from the date of a person’s death, whether before
or after a Termination of Service.

         

        12.           Option
Exercisability.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee
incurs a Termination of Service other than due to death, Disability or
Retirement, any portion of the Option that is not exercisable at the date of
such Termination of Service shall never become exercisable and shall be
immediately forfeited.  If a Director incurs a Termination of Service
due to Disability or Retirement, the Option shall continue to become exercisable
in accordance with the Vested Percentage schedule, but the exercise thereof
shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6, and, in addition, the Option
shall be cancelled and forfeited if the Committee at any time thereafter
determines that the former Director has engaged in any activity detrimental to
the interests of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6
is prevented by the provisions of Section 8, the Option shall remain exercisable
until three (3) months after the date the Optionee is notified by the Company
that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the option
expiration date set forth in Section 6.

         

        13.           Change in
Control.  In the event of a Change in Control, any
unexercisable portion of the Option shall become immediately exercisable and
vested in full as of the date thirty (30) days prior to the date of the Change
in Control.  The exercise or vesting of any Option that results solely
by reason of this Section 13, shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the
Change in Control.  In addition, the surviving, continuing, successor,
or purchasing corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the
“Acquiring Corporation”), may either assume the Company’s rights and obligations
under outstanding Options or substitute 

         

        
          
             

          

          
            3

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

        for
outstanding Options substantially equivalent options for the Acquiring
Corporation’s stock.  Any Options which are neither assumed or
substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Change in
Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change in Control shall terminate
and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Change in
Control.

         

        14.           Adjustments for Changes in Capital
Structure.  In the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or similar
change in the capital structure of the Company, appropriate adjustments shall be
made in the number, Exercise Price and class of shares of stock subject to the
Option. If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares
that are subject to the Option are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise
become (whether or not pursuant to a Change in Control) shares of another
corporation (the “New Shares”), the Board may unilaterally amend the Option to
provide that the Option is exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such
amendment, the Number of Option Shares and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
in a fair and equitable manner, as determined by the Board, in its sole
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fractional share resulting from
an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14 shall be rounded down to the nearest
whole number, and in no event may the Exercise Price be decreased to an amount
less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to the
Option.

         

        15.           Rights as a
Stockholder.  The Optionee shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of
the issuance of a certificate for the shares for which the Option has been
exercised (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or
of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made
for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior
to the date such certificate is issued, except as provided in Section
14.

         

        16.           Construction.  Captions
and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the
meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Option Agreement. Except when
otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural, the
plural shall include the singular, and use of the term “or” shall not be
exclusive.

         

        17.           Binding
Effect.  Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth
herein, this Option Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns.

         

        18.           Termination or
Amendment.  The Board may terminate or amend the Plan or the
Option at any time; provided, however, that no such termination or amendment may
adversely affect the Option or any unexercised portion hereof without the
consent of the Optionee unless such termination or amendment is necessary to
comply with any applicable law or government regulation. No amendment or
addition to this Option Agreement shall be effective unless in
writing.

         

        19.           Integrated
Agreement.  This Option Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding and agreement of the Optionee and the Company with respect to the
subject matter contained herein, and there are no agreements, understandings,
restrictions, representations, or warranties among the Optionee and the Company
with respect to such subject matter other than those as set forth or provided
for herein. To the extent contemplated herein, the provisions of this Option
Agreement shall survive any exercise of the Option and shall remain in full
force and effect.

         

        20.           Applicable
Law.  This Option Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Delaware as such laws are applied to agreements between Delaware
residents entered into and to be performed entirely within the State of
Delaware.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS EQUITY PLAN

         

        RESTRICTED
STOCK AGREEMENT

        

         

        This
Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of _________ (the “Grant
Date”) between KAYDON CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and(“Grantee”).  Pursuant to the Kaydon Corporation 2003 Non-Employee
Directors Equity Plan (the “Plan”) the Grantee has been granted shares of common
stock of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this
Agreement and in the Plan.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan.

         

        1.           Grant of Restricted
Stock.  The Company grants to Grantee, and Grantee accepts,
_________shares of $0.15 par value common stock of the Company, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Restricted
Stock”).  Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Prospectus for
the Plan.

         

        2.           Restrictions on and Forfeiture of
Restricted Stock.  The Company awards the Restricted Stock to
Grantee subject to the restrictions described below.

         

        (a)           Unless
the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors
otherwise consents or the Plan otherwise explicitly provides, Grantee will not
sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any shares of the
Restricted Stock at any time, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation
of law or otherwise.  If Grantee violates this restriction, Grantee’s
right to shares of Restricted Stock remaining subject to restrictions will
immediately cease and terminate and Grantee will immediately forfeit and
surrender all shares of Restricted Stock that are still subject to restrictions
or which have not yet vested to the Company.  This restriction on
transferability must lapse before Grantee will receive any stock under this
Agreement.

         

        (b)           Except
as otherwise determined by the Committee, if the Grantee incurs a Termination of
Service other than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, all shares of
Restricted Stock which are still subject to the foregoing restriction on
transferability shall, upon such Termination of Service, be forfeited and
transferred back to the Company.  In addition, if the Grantee
continues to hold Restricted Stock following his or her Termination of Service
due to his or her Retirement, the shares of Restricted Stock which remain
subject to the foregoing restriction on transferability shall nonetheless be
forfeited and transferred back to the Company if the Committee at any time
thereafter determines that the Grantee has engaged in any activity detrimental
to the interests of the Company.

         

        3.           Lapse of
Restrictions.  The restrictions on transferability shall lapse
with respect to all shares of Restricted Stock on the January 5th
following the Grant Date.  The lapse of restrictions on
transferability shall also be accelerated as provided in Section 5.

         

        
          
             

          

          
            1

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

        4.           Delivery of
Shares.  At the time all restrictions have lapsed with respect
to shares of Restricted Stock, the Company shall deliver the shares as to which
such restrictions have lapsed as follows:

         

        (i)           if
an assignment to a trust has been made, to such trust; or

         

        (ii)           if
the restriction on transferability has expired by reason of death and a
beneficiary has been designated in a form approved by the Company, to the
beneficiary so designated; or

         

        (iii)           in
all other cases, to the Grantee or the legal representative of the Grantee’s
estate.

         

        5.           Acceleration of Lapsing Only Upon
Death or Disability.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
3, if the Grantee incurs a Termination of Service due to death or Disability, or
if the Grantee dies following a Termination of Service due to Retirement, then
all restrictions in effect at the date of such Termination of Service or at such
date of death shall immediately lapse and all shares shall be free of, and no
longer subject to, any restrictions.

         

        (a)           Retirement.   If
the Grantee incurs a Termination of Service due to Retirement, any restrictions
on shares of Restricted Stock remaining at the time of Retirement shall continue
in effect and shall lapse as provided in Section 3.

         

        6.           Tax
Withholding.  The Company shall have the right to require the
Grantee to make adequate provision for any federal, state, local or foreign
taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to the
income realized by such director as a result of the lapsing of restrictions with
respect to shares of Restricted Stock.  The Company shall have no
obligation to deliver shares of Stock that were previously Restricted Stock
until the Company’s tax withholding obligations have been
satisfied.

         

        7.           Change in
Control.  In the event of a Change in Control, all restrictions
relating to any shares of Restricted Stock shall lapse and be of no further
effect, as of the date thirty (30) days prior to the date of the Change in
Control.  The lapsing of the restriction on transferability with
respect to shares of Restricted Stock that results solely by reason of this
Section 7, shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in
Control.

         

        8.           Issuance of
Stock.  The issuance or delivery of any shares of stock upon
the lapsing of restrictions on Restricted Stock may be postponed by the Company
for any period required to comply with any applicable requirements under the
federal securities laws, any applicable listing requirement of the NYSE or any
other requirements of applicable laws or regulations.  The Company is
not obligated to deliver or issue any shares of stock if such delivery or
issuance would constitute a violation of any provision of any law or regulation
or any rule of the NYSE.  So long as the Company’s stock is listed on
the NYSE, issuance of any shares of Restricted Stock, is conditioned on such
shares to be issued also being listed on the NYSE.  In addition, if at
any time counsel to the Company is of the opinion that the sale or issuance of
shares of Restricted Stock is or may be unlawful under the circumstances, the
Company shall have no obligation to make such sale or issuance.

        9.           Rights as a
Shareholder.  Grantee will have certain rights as a shareholder
with respect to the Restricted Stock, including but not limited to the right to
vote the Restricted Stock at shareholders’ meetings, the right to receive,
without restriction, all cash dividends paid with respect to the Restricted
Stock, and the right to participate with respect to the Restricted Stock in any
stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other adjustment in the
capital stock of the Company, or any merger, consolidation, or other
