3.   GRANTS AND AMOUNTS OF PROTECTION PAYMENTS

     3.1 If during the Extended Compensation Period (i) the Company shall

resign for Good Reason, then the Executive will receive Extended Compensation
Payments equal to the following:

     A. ACCRUED SALARY. Within 15 days of termination without Cause or
resignation for Good Reason, the Executive will receive all accrued but unpaid
Salary through the date of termination.

     B. SALARY CONTINUATION. The Executive will be paid regular monthly payments
as if his or her Salary were continuing for the period set forth on Exhibit A,
commencing on the date of the termination without Cause or resignation for Good
Reason.

     C. ACCRUED BONUS. The Executive will receive a pro-rata payment (through
the end of the month in which either the without Cause termination or
resignation for Good Reason occurs) of his or her bonus entitlement for the
current year which would otherwise have been paid had the Executive remained
employed by Anteon through the end of such year (for this purpose, assuming that
all personal performance objectives have been achieved at the target level).
Such bonus shall be payable to the Executive on the date that the bonuses are
payable to all other executives of the Company under the terms of the Company's
incentive plans.

     D. BONUS CONTINUATION. The Executive will be paid one-twelfth of his or her
"average annual bonus", for each month of the period set forth on Exhibit A,
such amount to be paid monthly commencing on the date of the termination without
Cause or resignation for Good Reason. The "average annual bonus" shall mean the
average of the Executive's bonuses in

<Page>
                                                                               5


respect of each of the three calendar years preceding the year of the
termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason. If the bonus for any
such year was zero, such amount shall be included in the average, unless the
Executive was not employed and not eligible for a bonus in such calendar year.

     E. ACCRUED GENERAL LEAVE. Within 15 days of termination without Cause or
resignation for Good Reason, the Executive will receive a payment for all
accrued but unused General Leave through the date of termination.

     F. MEDICAL/DENTAL INSURANCE. Medical/dental insurance coverage for the
Executive and his or her eligible dependents is to be continued under the plan
in effect on the date of the without Cause termination or resignation for Good
Reason, as modified from time to time for similarly situated active executives.
Anteon will pay its normal share of the coverage rate for a period as set forth
on Exhibit A, or until such time as the Executive is covered by the
medical/dental insurance of another employer, whichever occurs first. The
Executive may continue medical/dental insurance through COBRA for up to an
additional eighteen months by paying the required premiums monthly in advance to
Anteon, as provided by and subject to COBRA.

     G. LIFE INSURANCE. If the Executive is being provided basic life insurance
coverage at the time of separation, such basic life insurance coverage shall
continue in accordance with Anteon's policies on life insurance coverage as may
be in effect from time to time, for the period set forth on Exhibit A, or, if
earlier, until such time as (x) the Executive is eligible for coverage by the
life insurance of another employer or (y) Anteon ceases to provide its similarly
situated executives with basic life insurance coverage, whichever occurs first.

     H. RETIREMENT PLAN. Benefits accrued through the termination date are
governed by the provisions of the applicable "qualified retirement plan"
documents.

     3.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, under no
circumstances may the Executive receive any Extended Compensation Payments under
the terms of this Agreement unless the Committee has received from the Executive
an executed Release, in the form attached hereto, that has remained unrevoked
for at least eight (8) days (or such longer time as Employee may have a right to
terminate such Release under applicable law). In addition, Anteon may
immediately cease the payment of any Extended Compensation Payments if the
Executive is in violation of any of the provisions of Section 5 of this
Agreement.

     3.3 The Executive shall have no benefits under this Agreement in the event
the Executive is terminated with Cause or terminates employment other than for
Good Reason.

4.   ADMINISTRATION

provisions of this Agreement, as well as the discretion to resolve any conflicts
or questions arising therefrom. The decisions of the Committee shall be final
and binding.

resources in the development and retention of its inventions, confidential

vendors, cable operators, accounts or business partners.

     In recognition of this, and in partial consideration for the Company
entering into this Agreement with the Executive, the Executive shall be
obligated to comply with the following provisions:

          of two (2) years thereafter, or until the end of the period during

          Company, reduce its relationship with the Company or refrain from
          establishing or expanding a relationship with the Company in respect
          of any work covered by a contract the Company was party to at the time
          of his termination of employment (including any extensions, renewals
          or replacements of any such contracts, whether by way of
          recompetitions or otherwise).

5.2  NON-DISPARAGEMENT; NONDISCLOSURE

     (A)  The Executive agrees not to make any public statement, or engage in
          any conduct, that is disparaging to the Company, or any of its
          employees, officers, directors, or shareholders, including, but not
          limited to, any statement that disparages the products, services,
          finances, financial condition, capabilities or other aspect of the
          business of the Company. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary
          herein, the Executive shall not be in breach of this Section 5.2 for
          the making of any truthful statements under oath.

     (B)  The Executive agrees not to directly or indirectly disclose, discuss,
          disseminate, be the source of or otherwise publish or communicate in
          any manner to any person or entity any confidential information
          concerning the personal, social or business activities of the Company
          or its controlling persons, or the executives, principals, officers,
          directors, agents or employees of any of the foregoing during or at

          addition, the Executive

<Page>
                                                                              9


          agrees that, without the Company's express written approval in each
          case, the Executive will not:

          (i)  write, be the source of or contribute to any articles, stories,
               books, screenplays or any other communication or publicity of any
               kind (written or otherwise) or deliver lectures in any way
               regarding or concerning confidential information, or

          (ii) grant any interviews regarding or concerning confidential
               information during or at any time after the termination of his
               employment.

5.3  PROVISIONS NECESSARY AND REASONABLE

     (A)  The Executive agrees that:

          (i)  the specific temporal and substantive provisions set forth in
               Section 5.1 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to
               protect the Company's business interests; and

          (ii) in the event of any breach of any of the covenants set forth in
               Sections 5.1 and 5.2 herein, the Company would suffer substantial
               irreparable harm and would not have an adequate remedy at law for
               such breach.

               In recognition of the foregoing, the Executive agrees that, in
               the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of these
               covenants, in addition to such remedies as the Company may have
               at law, without posting any bond or security, Anteon shall be
               entitled to cease any further Extended Compensation Payments, if
               any,

<Page>
                                                                              10


               and the Company further shall be entitled to seek and obtain
               equitable relief, in the form of specific performance, and/or
               temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, or any
               other equitable remedy which then may be available. The seeking
               of such injunction or order shall not affect the Company's right
               to seek and obtain damages or other equitable relief on account
               of any such actual or threatened breach.

     (B)  If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, or
          any part thereof, are hereafter construed to be invalid or
          unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder or the covenant
          or covenants, which shall be given full effect without regard to the
          invalid portions.

     (C)  If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, or
          any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable by a court of competent
          jurisdiction because of the temporal or geographic scope of such
          provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the
          court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the
          duration and/or geographic area of such provision and, in its reduced
          form, such provision shall be enforceable.

origin, religion, disability and/or veteran status. These anti-discrimination
laws and regulations are enforced through the United States Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission, the United States Department of Labor, and various state
and local fair employment practices agencies. Other laws and regulations
prohibit employers from terminating employees tortiously or wrongfully, in
breach of express or implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing, in
violation of public policy, or in such a manner as to negligently or
intentionally inflict emotional distress. In other situations, employees may
have claims against an employer for fraud, misrepresentation or defamation.

     Eligibility for Extended Compensation Payments under the terms outlined in
your agreement with Anteon Corporation (the "Agreement") is contingent upon your
signature and delivery of this Release to Anteon Corporation (the "Anteon",
which, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, shall be referred to
herein as the "Company"). IF YOU DO NOT SIGN THE RELEASE (OR IF YOU SUBSEQUENTLY

COMPENSATION PAYMENTS AWARDED UNDER THE AGREEMENT. If you breach the terms of
your Release, Anteon will be entitled to the return of any Extended Compensation
Payments you have received and to reimbursement by you of any counsel fees and
expenses incurred by Anteon in enforcing such right of return.

and/or cessation of employment with the Company, or otherwise involving facts
that occurred on or prior to the date that I have signed this Release other than
a Claim that Anteon has failed to pay me the Extended Compensation Payments in

any and all Claims under state contract or tort law.

     I understand that my receipt of the Extended Compensation Payments will in
no way affect any receipt of retirement, savings, vacation, health care or other
benefits to which I am entitled as of my termination date under any plans,
policies or arrangements of the Company in which I am a participant or in
respect of which I am a beneficiary, except as otherwise provided in the
Agreement.

to anyone other than my spouse, my legal counsel and accountants to the extent
necessary in order to obtain professional advice, that I must immediately inform
my spouse, legal counsel and accountants that they are also prohibited from
disclosing the terms of the Release, and that I must not make any derogatory
allegations about Anteon Releasees. I further agree to return to the Company any
property of the Anteon Releasees that I may have, no matter where located, and
not to keep any copies or portions thereof.

Anteon has failed to pay me Extended Compensation Payments in the amount equal
to the Benefit Amount or so much thereof as may be payable as provided in the
Agreement.

     I understand and agree that if I am made a member of a class in any
proceeding relating to a Claim against any Anteon Releasee, I will opt out of
the class at the first opportunity afforded to me after learning of my
inclusion. In this regard, I agree that I will execute, without objection or
delay, an "opt-out" form presented to me either by the court in which such
proceeding is pending or by counsel for any Anteon Releasee who is made a
defendant in any such proceeding.

     I understand and agree that if I commence, continue, join in, or in any
other manner attempt to assert any Claim released herein against Anteon
Releasees, or otherwise violate the terms of this Release, Anteon shall have a
right to the return of all Extended Compensation Payments paid me by Anteon
(together with interest thereon), and I shall reimburse Anteon for all counsel
fees and expenses incurred by it in defending against such a Claim, provided
that this right of return of such Extended Compensation Payments is without
prejudice to the Company's other rights hereunder, including any waiver and
release of any and all Claims against the Company.

Payments to me and my signing of this Release do not in any way indicate that I

kind made to me in connection with my decision to accept the Extended
Compensation Payments except for those set forth in this Release. I understand
