                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

          STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"),  dated February 22, 2000, by
and between  LOGIMETRICS,  INC., a Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),  and
KENNETH C. THOMPSON (the "Optionee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

          WHEREAS,  the Company has agreed to grant to the Optionee an option to
purchase   common  stock  of  the  Company  in  recognition  of  the  Optionee's
performance of past services;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual
covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration the receipt
and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,  the parties hereto,  intending
to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

          1. Grant of Option.  The Company  hereby  grants to the  Optionee  the
option (the "Option") to purchase Five Hundred  Thousand  (500,000)  shares (the
"Option  Shares")  of the common  stock,  par value $.01 per share (the  "Common
Stock"),  of the Company at an exercise  price of $0.60 per share (the "Exercise
Price").

          2. Terms Governing Exercise of Option. The Option becomes  exercisable
on the Release Date (as such term is defined in the  Agreement,  dated  February
22,  2000,  by and  between  the  Company  and  the  Optionee  (the  "Separation
Agreement")) and, subject to the provisions of Section 3, shall expire and cease
to be exercisable as follows: as to one-half of the Option Shares, on the second
anniversary  of the  Effective  Date (as such term is defined in the  Separation
Agreement),  and as to  the  remainder  of  such  Option  Shares,  on the  third
anniversary of the Effective Date. The Option may be exercised from time to time
as to all or part of the Option  Shares.  In order to exercise  the Option,  the
Optionee  must  provide  written  notice to the  Company  of his  election  (the
"Exercise  Notice")  ,  setting  forth the number of whole  Option  Shares  with
respect to which the Option is being  exercised,  and  accompanied by payment of
the full Exercise  Price for the number of Option  Shares being  purchased or in
lieu of such cash  payment  by  surrendering  Option  Shares to the  Company  (a
"cashless exercise"), to the extent permitted by applicable law. Upon receipt by
the Company of a written  notice from the Optionee  electing to pay for all or a
portion of the Option  Shares by cashless  exercise,  the Company shall issue to
the  Optionee a number of Option  Shares  (not to exceed the  maximum  number of
Option Shares set forth in Section 1) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
(A) the product obtained when (i) the number of Option Shares being exercised is
multiplied  by (ii) the  difference  between the Fair  Market  Value (as defined
below) of one Option Share on the date of exercise and the Exercise Price of one
Option  Share on the date of  exercise,  by (B) the Fair  Market  Value  for one
Option Share on the date of exercise.  For purposes of this Agreement,  the date
of exercise  with respect to the Fair Market  Value or the Exercise  Price of an
Option  Share  shall mean the date the  Company  receives a  completed  Exercise
Notice from the Optionee. For purposes of this Agreement, "Fair Market Value" of
an Option Share on a particular  day shall mean the last reported sales price on
the principal national  securities  exchange on which the Common Stock is listed
or  admitted to trading  (or in case no such  reported  sales price is quoted on
such day, the last reported  sales price for which such quotation is available),

<PAGE>

or, if it is not  listed or  admitted  to  trading  on any  national  securities
exchange,  the  average of the last high  closing  bid price and the low closing
asked price as reported on an inter-dealer  quotation  system. In the absence of
any available  public  quotations for the Common Stock,  the Company's  board of
directors, in its sole discretion. shall determine in good faith the fair market
value of an Option Share.

          3. Termination of Option. In the event that the Company terminates the
Separation  Agreement as the result of a material breach of the terms thereof by
the Optionee,  the Option shall immediately terminate and be of no further force
and effect.

          4. Non-Assignability.  No rights granted to the Optionee hereunder are
assignable or transferable (whether by operation of law or otherwise and whether
voluntarily  or  involuntarily)  other than  pursuant to the laws of descent and
distribution.  During  the  life of the  Optionee,  all  rights  granted  to the
Optionee hereunder may be exercised only by the Optionee.

          5. Effect on Optionee's Status.  Nothing contained herein shall confer
upon the  Optionee  the right to  continue in the  service of the  Company,  its
subsidiaries  or their  respective  affiliates,  or affect  any  right  that the
Company,  its subsidiaries or their respective  affiliates may have to terminate
the Optionee's services.

          6. Conditions of Purchase. The Option is granted on the condition that
the  purchase of the Option  Shares upon the exercise of the Option shall be for
investment purposes and not with a view to resale or distribution. The foregoing
condition  shall be  inoperative  if the Option Shares are  registered  for sale
under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended  (the  "Securities  Act"),  and
applicable  state  securities  laws  or if in the  opinion  of  counsel  for the
Company, the Option Shares may be resold without such registration.  At the time
of exercise of the Option or any part thereof,  the Optionee  shall execute such
further  agreements  as the  Company  may  require to  implement  the  foregoing
condition and to acknowledge  the Optionee's  familiarity  with  restrictions on
resale of the Option  Shares under then  applicable  securities  laws.  Upon the
Optionee's request,  the Company shall furnish copies of such publicly available
financial  and other  information  concerning  the Company and its  business and
prospects as may be reasonably  requested by the Optionee in connection with the
exercise of this Option.

          7. Withholding. The Optionee agrees that the exercise of the Option in
whole  or in part  will not be  effective,  and no  Option  Shares  will  become
transferable to the Optionee,  until the Optionee makes appropriate arrangements
with the  Company for such income and other  payroll tax  withholding  as may be
required of the Company under  federal,  state,  or local law on account of such
exercise.

          8. Capital Structure Adjustments.  The number of Option Shares and the
Exercise  Price  covered  by the  unexercised  portion  of the  Option  shall be
proportionately  adjusted  for  any  increase  or  decrease  in  the  number  of
outstanding  shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split,  reverse stock
split, stock dividend,  combination or reclassification of the Common Stock. Any
such  adjustment  shall be made without  change in the aggregate  purchase price
applicable  to the  unexercised  portion  of the Option and shall be made by the
Company's board of directors whose determination in that respect shall be final,

<PAGE>

binding and  conclusive.  In making any  adjustment  pursuant to this Section 8,
fractional shares shall be disregarded.  Except as expressly provided herein, no
issuance  by the  Company  of  shares  of  stock  of  any  class  or  securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class shall effect, and no adjustment by
reason  thereof shall be made,  with respect to the number or price of shares of
Common Stock covered by the Option.

          9. Dissolution;  Merger;  Sale of Assets. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Company shall notify the Optionee
at least fifteen days prior to such proposed  action.  To the extent that it has
not been previously  exercised,  the Option will terminate  immediately prior to
the  consummation  of such  proposed  action.  In the  event of a merger  of the
Company with or into another corporation or the sale of all or substantially all
of the  assets of the  Company,  the Option  shall be  assumed or an  equivalent
option  shall  be  substituted  by a  successor  corporation  or a  parent  or a
subsidiary  of such  successor  corporation.  In the event  that such  successor
corporation  does not agree to assume the option or to  substitute an equivalent
option,  the  Company's  board of directors  shall notify the Optionee  that the
Option  shall be fully  exercisable  for a period of at least  fifteen (15) days
from the date of such notice and the Option will terminate upon the later of the
expiration of such period or the consummation of the merger.

          10. No Rights as a Stockholder. The Optionee shall not have any rights
as a  stockholder  or any claim to dividends  with respect to any Option  Shares
until the proper exercise of the Option as required  hereby,  the payment of the
purchase  price for the  applicable  number of Option Shares and the issuance by
the Company of a stock certificate for the Option Shares so purchased.

          11. Optionee  Acknowledgments.  The Optionee  agrees and  acknowledges
that (i) no member of the board of  directors of the Company or any other person
or entity  shall be liable  for any action or  determination  made in good faith
with respect to the Option,  (ii) the Option  granted  hereby is not intended to
qualify as an incentive stock option under section 422A of the Internal  Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended,  and (iii) the Company makes no  representation  as to
the tax treatment to the Optionee upon receipt or exercise of the option or sale
or other disposition of the shares covered by the Option.

          12.  Notices.  Any notice given to the Company  hereunder  shall be in
writing and shall be addressed to the  Secretary of the Company at its principal
executive  office,  or at  such  other  address  as the  Company  may  hereafter
designate to the Optionee by notice as provided herein.  Any notice given to the
Optionee hereunder shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the Optionee at
the address set forth in the employee  records of the Company,  or at such other

provided herein. Notices shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally
delivered or three (3) days after being mailed by registered  or certified  mail
to the party entitled to receive the same.

          13. Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
among the parties hereto  pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all other prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and
discussions,  whether oral or written, of the parties. Other than the Separation

the subject  matter  hereof.  In the event that the terms of this  Agreement are
inconsistent  with the terms of the Separation  Agreement  regarding the subject

          14.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in  accordance  with,  the  internal  laws of the  State  of New  York,  without
reference to the choice of law principals thereof.

          15. Assignment;  Successors and Assigns;  No Third Party Rights.  This
Agreement  may not be assigned by the Optionee and any attempt at  assignment by
the Optionee shall be null and void.  This  Agreement  shall be binding upon and
inure to the  benefit of the  parties  hereto and their  respective  successors,

sole benefit of the parties hereto and their  respective  successors,  permitted
assigns  and  legal  representatives  and  is  not  intended,  nor  shall  it be
