THE TITAN CORPORATION
2000 EMPLOYEE AND DIRECTOR
STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

Restricted Stock Agreement

        Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Grant Notice ("Grant Notice") and this
Restricted Stock Agreement (collectively, the "Award") and in consideration of
your past services, The Titan Corporation (the "Company") has awarded you a
stock under its 2000 Employee and Director Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the
"Plan") for the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to the
Award as indicated in the Grant Notice. Defined terms not explicitly defined in
this Restricted Stock Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same
definitions as in the Plan.

        The details of your Award are as follows:

        1.    Vesting.    Subject to the limitations contained herein, your
Award will vest as provided in the Grant Notice, provided that vesting will
cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service.

        2.    Number of Shares and Consideration.    The number of shares
subject to your Award is set forth in your Grant Notice and may be adjusted from
time to time for capitalization adjustments, as provided in the Plan. As
reflected in your Grant Notice, the Award is granted to you in consideration of
your past services. Accordingly, you are not required to make any payment to the
Company in order to receive the shares subject to the Award.

        3.    Securities Law Compliance.    You may not be issued any shares
under your Award unless the shares are either (i) then registered under the
Securities Act or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must
also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and
you will not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt
would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

        4.    Right of First Refusal.    Shares that are received under your
Award are subject to any right of first refusal or repurchase right that may be
described in the Company's bylaws in effect at such time the Company elects to
exercise its right.

        5.    Right of Reacquisition.    

        (a)   To the extent provided in the Company's bylaws, as amended from
time to time, the Company shall have the right to reacquire all or any part of
the shares received pursuant to your Award (a "Reacquisition Right").

        (b)   To the extent a Reacquisition Right is not provided in the
Company's bylaws, as amended from time to time, the Company shall have a
Reacquisition Right as to the shares you received pursuant to your Award that
have not as yet vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule on the Grant
Notice ("Unvested Shares") on the following terms and conditions:

          (i)  The Company, shall simultaneously with termination of your
Continuous Service automatically reacquire for no consideration (that is, for
$0.00) all of the Unvested Shares, unless the Company agrees to waive its
Reacquisition Right as to some or all of the Unvested Shares. Any such waiver
shall be exercised by the Company by written notice to you or your
representative (with a copy to the Escrow Holder as defined below) within ninety
(90) days after the termination of your Continuous Service, and the Escrow
Holder may then release to you the number of Unvested Shares not being
reacquired by the Company. If the Company does not waive its Reacquisition Right
as to all of the Unvested Shares, then upon such termination of your Continuous
Service, the Escrow Holder shall transfer to the Company the number of shares
the Company is reacquiring.

         (ii)  The Company's right to reacquire the shares issued under your
Award shall lapse at the rate set forth in your Grant Notice.

       (iii)  The shares issued under your Award shall be held in escrow
pursuant to the terms of the Joint Escrow Instructions attached to the Grant
Notice as Attachment IV. You agree to execute two (2) Assignment Separate From
Certificate forms (with date and number of shares blank) substantially in the
form attached to the Grant Notice as Attachment III and deliver the same, along
with the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares, for use by the
escrow agent pursuant to the terms of the Joint Escrow Instructions.

        (iv)  Subject to the provisions of your Award, you shall, during the
term of your Award, exercise all rights and privileges of a shareholder of the
Company with respect to the shares deposited in escrow. You shall be deemed to
be the holder of the shares for purposes of receiving any dividends which may be

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

paid with respect to such shares and for purposes of exercising any voting
rights relating to such shares, even if some or all of such shares have not yet
vested and been released from the Company's Reacquisition Right.

         (v)  If, from time to time, there is any stock dividend, stock split or
other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding stock of the
corporation the stock of which is subject to the provisions of your Award, then
in such event any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which you
is entitled by reason of your ownership of the shares acquired under your Award
shall be immediately subject to the Reacquisition Right with the same force and
effect as the shares subject to this Reacquisition Right immediately before such
event.

        6.    Restrictive Legends.    The shares issued under your Award shall
be endorsed with appropriate legends determined by the Company.

        7.    Award not a Service Contract.    Your Award is not an employment
or service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any
way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the
Company or an Affiliate, or on the part of the Company or an Affiliate to
continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the
Company or an Affiliate, their respective shareholders, boards of directors,
officers or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a
director or consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.

        8.    Withholding Obligations.    

        (a)   At the time your Award is made, or at any time thereafter as
requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any
other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for
any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax
withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in
connection with your Award.

        (b)   Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any
Affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a
certificate for such shares or release such shares from any escrow provided for
herein.

        9.    Tax Consequences.    The acquisition and vesting of the shares may
have adverse tax consequences to you that may avoided or mitigated by filing an
election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the
"Code"). Such election must be filed within thirty (30) days after the date of
your Award. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE
COMPANY'S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(B), EVEN IF YOU
REQUEST THE COMPANY TO MAKE THE FILING ON YOUR BEHALF.

        10.    Notices.    Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan
shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or,
in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after
deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last
address you provided to the Company.

        11.    Miscellaneous.    

        (a)   The rights and obligations of the Company under your Award shall
be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and
agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the
Company's successors and assigns. Your rights and obligations under your Award
may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company.

        (b)   You agree upon request to execute any further documents or
instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to
carry out the purposes or intent of your Award.

        (c)   You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your Award in its
entirety, have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to
executing and accepting your Award and fully understand all provisions of your
Award.

        12.    Governing Plan Document.    Your Award is subject to all the
provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your
Award, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and
regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to
the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your Award and
those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.
