                            SEROLOGICALS CORPORATION
                AMENDED AND RESTATED 1995 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS'
                                STOCK OPTION PLAN



                  1. PURPOSE. The Amended and Restated 1995 Non-Employee
Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") of Serologicals Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), is designed to aid the Corporation and
its subsidiaries in retaining and attracting non-employee directors of
exceptional ability by enabling such non-employee directors to purchase a
proprietary interest in the Corporation, thereby stimulating in such individuals
an increased desire to render greater services which will contribute to the
continued growth and success of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

                  2. AMOUNT AND SOURCE OF STOCK. The total number of shares of
the Corporation's Common Stock (the "Shares") which may be the subject of
options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be limited so that the total number
of Shares issued upon the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Plan shall
not exceed 540,000 (after giving effect to the 3 for 2 split of the Shares in
February 1997), subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 12. None of the
options to be granted under the Plan are intended to be "Incentive Stock
Options" as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and the regulations (whether proposed, temporary or final)
promulgated thereunder. Such Shares may be reserved or made available from the
Corporation's authorized and unissued Shares or from Shares reacquired and held
in the Corporation's treasury. In the event that any option granted hereunder
shall terminate prior to its exercise in full for any reason, then the Shares
subject to such option shall be added to the Shares otherwise available for
issuance pursuant to the exercise of options under the Plan.

                  3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. The Plan shall be administered
by a committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Corporation
(the "Board") comprised of two or more members of the Board, selected by the
Board, all of which members shall be "disinterested persons" as that term is
defined in Rule 16b-3(d)(3) (or any successor provision) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Committee
is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Administrative Body." The
Administrative Body shall have full authority to interpret the Plan, to
establish and amend rules and regulations relating to it and to make all other
determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

                  4.       NON-DISCRETIONARY LUMP SUM GRANTS.

                          (a) Each person who is elected for the first time to
be a non-employee director automatically shall, on the day after the date of his
initial election to be a non-employee director by the Board or stockholders of
the Corporation, be granted an option exercisable to purchase 24,000 Shares. The
date on which an option is granted under paragraph 4 or 5 to a specified
individual shall constitute the date of grant of such option (the "Date of
Grant").

                           (b) Subject to subparagraph 13(b) hereof, options
granted to a participant under subparagraph 4(a) hereof shall vest at the rate
of 25% per year commencing on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant;
provided that for each six months (or portion thereof) of service as a director
of the Corporation or any subsidiary prior to the Date of Grant, such vesting
shall accelerate by one (1) year.

                  5.       NON-DISCRETIONARY ANNUAL GRANTS.

                          (a) Each non-employee director shall automatically
receive an annual grant of an option to purchase 6,000 Shares on the day after
the annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are elected each year (the
"Annual Meeting Date"); PROVIDED, that the first grant of an option to a
particular non-employee director under this subparagraph 5(a) shall be made on
the first Annual Meeting Date after the option granted under subparagraph 4(a)
shall have or would have (had not such director elected to decline an award in
accordance with subparagraph 6(a)), vested in full.

                          (b) Subject to subparagraph 13(b) hereof, options
granted to a participant under subparagraph 5(a) hereof shall vest at the rate
of 25% per year commencing on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant.

                  6.       ELECTION TO DECLINE GRANT; REVOCATION OF DECLINATION.

                          (a) Any non-employee director entitled to an option
under paragraph 4 or 5 may, at any time on or before Date of Grant, elect to
decline such award. Such election shall be in writing, and signed by the
non-employee director.

                          (b) A non-employee director who makes an election
under (a) above, shall receive no compensation as a substitute for the option(s)
declined.

                          (c) An election described in (a) above may be revoked
on a prospective basis at any time prior to a scheduled award. Such revocation
election must be in writing and signed by the non-employee director.

                  7. OPTION PRICE. The exercise price of the Shares purchasable
under any option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be 100% of the fair market
value of the Shares subject to such option on the Date of Grant. For purposes of
the Plan, the "fair market value per share" of the Shares on a given date shall
be: (i) if the Shares are listed on a registered securities exchange or quoted
on the National Market System, the closing price per share of the Shares on such
date (or, if there was no trading reported on such date, on the next preceding
day on which there was trading reported); (ii) if the Shares are not listed on a
registered securities exchange and not quoted on the National Market System, but
the bid and asked prices per share for the Shares are provided by Nasdaq, the
National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or any similar organization, the average
of the closing bid and asked price per share of the Shares on such date (or, if
there was no trading in the Shares on such date, on the next preceding day on
which there was trading) as provided by such organization; and (iii) if the
Shares are not traded on a registered securities exchange and not quoted on the
National Market System and the bid and asked price per share of the Shares are
not provided by Nasdaq, the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or any
similar organization, solely as determined by the Administrative Body in good
faith.

                  8.      TERM OF OPTION.

                          (a) Options granted hereunder shall be exercisable for
a period of ten (10) years from the Date of Grant.

                          (b) The grant of options pursuant to the terms of the
Plan shall be effective as of the Date of Grant; provided, however, that no
option granted hereunder shall be exercisable unless and until this Plan has
been approved by the Corporation's stockholders and unless and until the holder
has entered into an individual option agreement with the Corporation that shall
set forth the terms and conditions of such option. Each such agreement shall
expressly incorporate by reference the provisions of this Plan (a copy of which
shall be made available for inspection by the optionee during normal business
hours at the principal office of the Corporation), and shall state that in the
event of any inconsistency between the provisions hereof and the provisions of
such agreement, the provisions of this Plan shall govern.

                  9. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. An option shall be exercised when
written notice of such exercise, signed by the person entitled to exercise the
option, has been delivered or transmitted by registered or certified mail to the
Secretary of the Corporation at its then principal office. Such notice shall
specify the number of Shares for which the option is being exercised and shall
be accompanied by (i) such documentation, if any, as may be required by the
Corporation as provided in subparagraph 13(b), and (ii) payment of the aggregate
option price. Such payment shall be in the form of (i) cash or check payable to
the order of the Corporation in the amount of the aggregate option price, (ii)
certificates duly endorsed for transfer (with all transfer taxes paid or
provided for) evidencing a number


                                       -3-

<PAGE>


of Shares of which the aggregate fair market value on the date of exercise is
equal to the aggregate option exercise price of the Shares being purchased,
(iii) any method of payment which is acceptable to the Administrative Body
(including pursuant to a cashless exercise program adopted by the Administrative
Body) or (iv) a combination of these methods of payment. Delivery of such notice
shall constitute an irrevocable election to purchase the Shares specified in
such notice, and the date on which the Corporation receives the last of such
notice, documentation and the aggregate option exercise price for all of the
shares covered by the notice shall, subject to the provisions of paragraph 13
hereof, be the date as of which the Shares so purchased shall be deemed to have
been issued. The person entitled to exercise the option shall not have the right
or status as a holder of the Shares to which such exercise relates prior to
receipt by the Corporation of the payment, notice and documentation expressly
referred to in this paragraph 9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder whose
transactions in Common Stock are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act
may tender Shares in payment of all or any portion of the option price only if
the following additional conditions are met: (i) the tender is made at least six
months after the Date of Grant and (ii) either (x) the election to tender is
irrevocably made at least six months in advance of the tender of Shares or (y)
the tender of Shares takes place during the period beginning on the third
business day following the date of release of the Corporation's quarterly or
annual financial results and ending on the twelfth business day following such
date.

                  10. EXERCISE AND CANCELLATION OF OPTIONS AFTER TERMINATION,
DISABILITY OR DEATH. Except as set forth below, if a holder shall voluntarily or
involuntarily cease to serve as a director of the Corporation or if a holder's
service shall terminate on account of death or disability, the option of such
holder shall terminate two years following the first day that the holder is no
longer such a director (the "Termination Date"); provided that if such director
is removed for cause, the option shall terminate immediately. In no event may
the holder, or the holder's guardian, conservator, executor or administrator, as
the case may be, exercise an option after the end of the original term of the
option.

                  Nothing contained herein or in any option agreement shall be
construed to confer on any option holder any right to continue as a director of
the Corporation or derogate from any right of the Corporation, the Board or the
stockholders of the Corporation to remove such option holder as a director of
the Corporation, with or without cause.

                  11. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. No option granted under
the Plan shall be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner except to
the extent that options may be exercised by an executor or administrator as
provided in paragraph 10 hereof. An option may be exercised, during the lifetime
of the holder thereof, only by such holder or his duly appointed guardian or
conservator in the event of his disability.

                  12.     ADJUSTMENTS UPON CERTAIN EVENTS.

                          If the outstanding Shares are subdivided,
consolidated, increased, decreased, changed into, or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares or other securities of the Corporation through
reorganization, merger, recapitalization, reclassification, capital adjustment
or similar transaction, or if the Corporation shall issue additional Shares as a
dividend or pursuant to a stock split, then the number and kind of Shares
available for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options to be granted under
this Plan and all Shares subject to the unexercised portion of any option
theretofore granted and the exercise price of such options shall be adjusted on
a pro rata basis to prevent the inequitable enlargement or dilution of any
rights hereunder; provided, however, that any such adjustment in outstanding
options under the Plan shall be made without change in the aggregate exercise
price applicable to the unexercised portion of any such outstanding option.
Distributions to the Corporation's stockholders consisting of property other
than Shares of the Corporation or its successor and distributions to
stockholders of rights to subscribe for Shares shall not result in the
adjustment of the Shares purchasable under outstanding options or the exercise
price of outstanding options. Adjustments under this paragraph shall be made by
the Administrative Body, whose determination thereof shall be conclusive and
binding. Any fractional Share resulting from adjustments pursuant to this
paragraph shall be eliminated from any then outstanding option. Nothing
contained herein or in any option agreement shall be construed to affect in any
way the right or power of the Corporation to make or become a party to any
adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes in its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or otherwise
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

                  13.     GENERAL RESTRICTIONS.

                          (a) No option granted hereunder shall be exercisable
if the Corporation shall at any time determine that (i) the listing upon any
securities exchange, registration or qualification under any state or federal
law of any Shares otherwise deliverable upon such exercise, or (ii) the consent
or approval of any regulatory body or the satisfaction of withholding tax or
other withholding liabilities, is necessary or appropriate in connection with
such exercise. In any of the events referred to in clause (i) or clause (ii)
above, the exercisability of such options shall be suspended and shall not be
effective unless and until such withholding, listing, registration,
qualifications or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any
conditions not acceptable to the Corporation in its sole discretion,
notwithstanding any termination of any option or any portion of any option
during the period when exercisability has been suspended.

                          (b) The Administrative Body may require, as a
condition to the right to exercise an option, that the Corporation receive from
the option holder, at the time of any such exercise, representations, warranties
and agreements to the effect that the Shares are being purchased by the option
holder for investment only and without any

                                       -5-

<PAGE>


present intention to sell or otherwise distribute such Shares and that the
option holder will not dispose of such Shares in transactions which, in the
opinion of counsel to the Corporation, would violate the registration provisions
of the Securities Act of 1933, as then amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder. The certificates issued to evidence such Shares shall bear
appropriate legends summarizing such restrictions on the disposition thereof.

                  14.     AMENDMENT. Except to the extent prohibited by 
applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Option agreement or
in the Plan:

                          (a) The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue
or terminate the Plan, except that any amendment, alteration, suspension,
discontinuation or termination that would impair the rights of any participant,
or any other holder or beneficiary of any option theretofore granted to the
extent such rights are not then accrued and vested, shall require the consent of
such participant, other holder or beneficiary of an option. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board may condition any amendment on the approval of the
stockholders of the Corporation if such approval is necessary or advisable with
respect to tax (including Code Sections 162(m) and 422), securities or other
applicable laws and rules and regulations to which the Corporation, this Plan,
participants or other applicable persons are subject.

                          (b) The Board may correct any defect, supply any
omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any option in the manner
and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into effect.

                  15.     TERMINATION. Unless the Plan shall theretofore have 
been terminated as provided hereinafter and in paragraph 16 hereof, the Plan
shall terminate on August 9, 2005, and no options under the Plan shall
thereafter be granted; provided, however, that the Board may at any time, in its
sole discretion, terminate the Plan prior to the foregoing date. No termination
of the Plan by the Board shall, without the consent of the holder of an existing
option, materially and adversely affect his rights under such option.
