                     INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
                     -------------------------

      THIS AGREEMENT, is made and entered into as of the ----- day of
-----------, 199--, by and between ANGELICA CORPORATION, a Missouri
corporation ("Company"), and ------------------------ ("Indemnified Person").

                           W I T N E S S E T H:
                          ---------------------

      WHEREAS, Indemnified Person is a member of the Board of Directors
and/or an officer of Company and in such capacity is performing a valuable
service for Company; and

      WHEREAS, Company presently maintains a policy or policies of Directors
and Officers Liability Insurance ("D & O Insurance"), insuring against
certain liabilities which may be incurred by its directors and officers in
the performance of their services for the Company; and

      WHEREAS, the cost of such insurance is increasing substantially and the
coverage of such insurance is decreasing, and Company deems it desirable,
with the consent and approval of its stockholders, to enter into agreements
with the Directors and Officers to provide to them broader indemnities and
greater protection against liabilities incurred by them on account of their
services for the Company;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the continued service of
Indemnified Person as a Director and/or officer after the date hereof, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

      1.    Indemnity
            ---------

            1.1.  Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnified Person
harmless to the full extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of The
General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri, as in effect at the date of
this Agreement, or by any amendment thereof or any other statutory provisions
authorizing or permitting such indemnification which may be adopted after the
date hereof.

            1.2.  Without limiting the indemnity provided under Section 1.1
hereof, and subject only to the limitations set forth in Section 4 hereof, if
Indemnified Person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or whether an action by a
third party or by or in the right of Company) by reason of the fact that
Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer of Company (or, if his
service is or was at the request of Company, as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise), then Company shall indemnify Indemnified Person against expenses
(including attorney's

                                    -2-
<PAGE> 3
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnified Person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding.

            1.3.  The costs and expenses incurred by Indemnified Person in
connection with any proceedings described in this Section 1 shall be paid by
Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding with the
understanding and agreement hereby made and entered into by Indemnified
Person that Indemnified Person shall repay to Company such amount, or the
appropriate portion thereof, so paid or advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined that Indemnified Person was not entitled to be indemnified by
Company hereunder.

            1.4.  If Indemnified Person is deceased and is or was entitled to
indemnification under any provision of this Agreement, such indemnification
shall continue and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of Indemnified Person.

      2.    Maintenance of Insurance
            ------------------------

            2.1.  Company has in force and effect D & O Insurance which
provides insurance protection to its directors and officers against certain
liabilities which may  be incurred by them on account of services for
Company.  Company may, but shall not be required to, continue all or any part
of said insurance coverage in effect.  If such insurance coverage shall be
maintained by Company, such insurance, to the extent  of the coverage
provided thereby, shall be primary and Company's agreement of indemnity
hereunder shall be effective only to the extent that the Indemnified Person
is not reimbursed pursuant to such insurance coverage, and if Company shall
have advanced any amount to or for Indemnified Person which is later
recovered by Indemnified Person under such insurance coverage, Indemnified
Person shall repay such recovered amount to Company.  If such insurance shall
not be maintained by Company, Indemnified Person shall be indemnified fully
by Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Agreement.

      3.    Determination of Right to Indemnification
            -----------------------------------------

            3.1.  The indemnification under Section 1 hereof shall be made by
the Company unless a determination is reasonably and promptly made that
indemnification is not proper in the circumstances because of the limitations
set forth in Section 4 hereof.  Any such determination shall be made (unless
ordered by a court) by the Board of Directors of Company, by a majority vote
of quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit
or proceeding.

            3.2.  In the event that a quorum of directors who were not
parties to such action, suit or proceeding is not available, or even if
available, if a quorum of disinterested directors so

                                    -3-
<PAGE> 4
directs, such determination shall be made by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion.  The fees and expenses of counsel in connection with making
said determination contemplated hereunder shall be paid by Company.

            3.3.  If the person (including the Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel or a court) making the determination hereunder
shall determine that Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification as to
some claims, issues or matters involved in the action, suit or proceeding but
not as to others, such person shall reasonably prorate the expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
with respect to which indemnification is sought by Indemnified Person among
such claims, issues and matters.

      4.    Limitations on Indemnity  No indemnity pursuant to Section 1
            ------------------------
hereof shall be paid by Company:

            (a)   In respect of remuneration paid to Indemnified Person
                  if it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final
                  adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law;

            (b)   On account of any suit in which judgment is rendered
                  against Indemnified Person for an accounting of profits made
                  from the purchase or sale by Indemnified Person of
                  securities of Company pursuant to the provisions of Section
                  16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments
                  thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local
                  statutory law; or

            (c)   If Indemnified Person's conduct is finally adjudged to
                  have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest, or
                  willful misconduct.

      5.    Continuation of Indemnity   All agreements and obligations of
            -------------------------
Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnified Person
is a director and/or officer of Company (or is or was serving at the request
of Company as a director and/or officer of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so
long as Indemnified Person shall be subject to any possible claim or
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal or investigative, by reason of the fact that Indemnified Person is
or was a director and/or officer of Company or serving in any other capacity
referred to herein.

      6.    Notice to Company; Defense and Settlement of Claims
            ---------------------------------------------------

            6.1.  Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Company in writing
upon being served with any citation, petition, complaint,

                                    -4-
<PAGE> 5
indictment or other document relating to any proceeding which could give rise
to indemnification hereunder.  The omission so to notify Company shall not
relieve Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnified Person
otherwise than under this Agreement.

            6.2.  With respect to any action, suit or proceeding as to which
Indemnified Person notifies Company of the commencement thereof:

                  (a)   Company will be entitled to participate therein at
                        its own expense.

                  (b)   Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent
                        that it may wish, Company jointly with any other
                        indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled
                        to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
                        satisfactory to Indemnified Person.  After notice from
                        Company to Indemnified Person of its election so to
                        assume the defense thereof, Company will not be liable
                        to Indemnified Person under this Agreement for any
                        legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
                        Indemnified Person in connection with the defense
                        thereof other than as otherwise provided below.
                        Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ his
                        or her own counsel in such action, suit or proceeding,
                        but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred
                        after notice from Company of its assumption of the
                        defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnified
                        Person unless (i)  the employment of counsel by
                        Indemnified Person has been authorized by Company; or
                        (ii) Company shall not in fact have employed counsel
                        to assume the defense of such action, in each of
                        which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be
                        at the expense of Company.

                  (c)   Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnified
                        Person under this Agreement for any amounts paid in
                        settlement of any action or claim effected without its
                        written consent.  Company shall not settle any action
                        or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty
                        or limitation on Indemnified Person without Indemnified
                        Person's written consent. Neither Company nor
                        Indemnified Person will reasonably withhold its consent
                        to any proposed settlement.
