                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                        ANTEON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
                               OMNIBUS STOCK PLAN

      1. Establishment, Purpose and Types of Awards.

      Anteon International Corporation hereby establishes the AMENDED AND
RESTATED ANTEON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION OMNIBUS STOCK PLAN (the "Plan"). The
purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term growth and profitability of
Anteon International Corporation (the "Corporation") by (i) providing key people
with incentives to improve stockholder value and to contribute to the growth and
financial success of the Corporation, and (ii) enabling the Corporation to
attract, retain and reward the best available persons for positions of
substantial responsibility.

      The Plan permits the granting of stock options (including nonqualified
stock options and incentive stock options qualifying under Section 422 of the
Code), stock appreciation rights (including freestanding, tandem and limited
stock appreciation rights), restricted or unrestricted stock awards, phantom
stock, or any combination of the foregoing (collectively, "Awards").

      The Plan is a compensatory benefit plan within the meaning of Rule 701
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). Except to the extent
any other exemption from the Securities Act is expressly relied upon in
connection with any agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan or the
securities issuable hereunder are registered under the Securities Act, the
issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan is intended to qualify for the
exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 701. To
the extent that an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided
by Rule 701 is unavailable, all unregistered offers and sales of Awards and
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an Award are intended to be
exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the private
offering exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, or other
available exemption, and the Plan shall be so administered.

      3. ADMINISTRATION.

         (a) PROCEDURE. The Plan shall be administered by a Committee consisting
of not less than two (2) members of the Board to administer the Plan on behalf
of the Board, subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe.
The Committee shall continue to serve until otherwise directed by the Board.
From time to time, the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint
additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint
new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies, however caused, and remove
all members of the Committee and, thereafter, directly administer the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Plan, (i) the
Board may at any time or from time to time resolve to administer the Plan and,
in such case, references herein to the Committee shall mean the Board when so
acting as the Committee, and (ii) when the Committee is acting and not the
Board, all of the Committee's decisions under this Plan will be subject to the
approval of the Board.

      Members of the Board or Committee who are either eligible for Awards or
have been granted Awards may vote on any and all matters, including matters
affecting the administration of the Plan or the grant of Awards pursuant to the
Plan, except that no such member shall act upon the granting of a specific Award
to himself or herself, but any such member may be counted in determining the
existence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board or the Committee during which
action is taken with respect to the granting of an Award to him or her.

      The Committee shall meet at such times and places and upon such notice as
it may determine. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. Any
acts by the Committee may be taken at any meeting at which a quorum is present
and shall be by majority vote of those members entitled to vote. Additionally,
any acts reduced to writing or approved in writing by all of the members of the
Committee shall be valid acts of the Committee.

         (b) PROCEDURE AFTER REGISTRATION OF COMMON STOCK. Notwithstanding the
provisions of subsection (a) above, in the event that the Common Stock or any

of the Code, references herein to the "Committee" shall refer to the members of
the Executive Compensation Committee of the Corporation but only with respect to
persons subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or those that the Committee
determines may be "covered employees" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of

members who are both "Non-Employee Directors" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3,
and "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code to the
extent intended to be applicable and all of the Executive Compensation
Committee's decisions under this plan will be subject to the approval of the
Committee (as constituted under Section 3(a)); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the mere fact
that a Committee member shall fail to qualify under the foregoing requirements
shall not invalidate any award made by the Committee which award is otherwise
validly made under the Plan.

                                                                               6

         (c) POWER OF THE COMMITTEE. The Committee shall have all the powers
vested in it by the terms of the Plan, such powers to include the authority, in
its sole and absolute discretion, to grant Awards under the Plan, prescribe
Grant Agreements evidencing such Awards and establish programs for granting
Awards. The Committee shall have full power and authority to take all other
actions necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan, including,
but not limited to, the authority to:

             (i) determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times
at which Awards shall be granted,

             (ii) determine the types of Awards to be granted,

             (iii) determine the number of shares to be covered by or used for
reference purposes for each Award,

             (iv) impose such terms, limitations, restrictions and conditions
upon any such Award as the Committee shall deem appropriate,

             (v) modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards, accept the
surrender of outstanding Awards and substitute new Awards, provided that no such
action shall be taken with respect to any outstanding Award which would
adversely affect the grantee without the grantee's consent,

             (vi) accelerate or otherwise change the time in which an Award may
be exercised or becomes payable and to waive or accelerate the lapse, in whole
or in part, of any restriction or condition with respect to such Award,
including, but not limited to, any restriction or condition with respect to the
vesting or exercisability of an Award following termination of any grantee's
employment, and

             (vii) to establish objectives and conditions, if any, for earning
Awards and determining whether Awards will be paid after the end of a
performance period.

      The Committee shall have full power and authority to administer and
interpret the Plan and any Grant Agreements, and to adopt such rules,
regulations, agreements, guidelines and instruments for the administration of
the Plan and for the conduct of its business as the Committee deems necessary or
advisable and to interpret the same, all within the Committee's sole and
absolute discretion.

      Without limiting the generality of the preceding provisions, the Committee
may, but solely with the Participants consent, agree to cancel any Award under
the Plan and issue a new Award in substitution therefor upon such terms as the
Committee may in its sole discretion determine, provided that the substituted
Award satisfies all applicable Plan requirements as of the date such new Award
is made.

      The determination of the Committee on all matters relating to the Plan or
any Grant Agreement shall be conclusive.

                                                                               7

         (d) LIMITED LIABILITY. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no
member of the Board or Committee shall be liable for any action taken or
decision made in good faith relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder.

         (e) INDEMNIFICATION. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the
members, including former members, of the Board and Committee shall be
indemnified by the Corporation in respect of all their activities under the
Plan.

determinations made by the Committee on all matters relating to the Plan
pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be in the Committee's sole
and absolute discretion and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties
concerned, including the Corporation, its stockholders, any participants in the
Plan and any other employee of the Corporation, and their respective successors
in interest.

      4. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR THE PLAN; MAXIMUM AWARDS.

         (a) Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 11 of the Plan, the
shares of stock that may be delivered or purchased or used for reference
purposes (with respect to stock appreciation rights, phantom stock units or
performance awards payable in cash) with respect to Awards granted under the
Plan, including with respect to incentive stock options intended to qualify
under Section 422 of the Code, shall not exceed an aggregate of 3,121,200/FN
shares of Common Stock of the Corporation. The Corporation shall reserve said
number of shares for Awards under the Plan, subject to adjustments as
provided in Section 11 of the Plan. If any Award, or portion of an Award
under the Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable or is
forfeited or otherwise terminated, surrendered or canceled as to any shares
without the delivery of shares of Common Stock or other consideration, the
shares subject to such Award shall thereafter be available for further Awards
under the Plan.

         (b) Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been used in payment
of Awards whether they are actually delivered or the Fair Market Value
equivalent of such shares is paid in cash. In accordance with (and without
limitation upon) the preceding sentence, if and to the extent an Award under the
Plan expires, terminates or is canceled for any reason whatsoever without the
eligible participant having received any benefit therefrom, the shares covered
by such Award shall again become available for future Awards under the Plan.

         (c) Common Stock delivered by the Corporation in settlement of Awards
under the Plan may be authorized and unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held
in the treasury of the Corporation.

         (d) Subject to Section 11, no person may be granted Options or SARs
under the Plan during any calendar year with respect to more than 125,000/FN
shares of Common Stock; provided that such number shall be adjusted pursuant
to Section 11, and shares otherwise counted against such number only in a
manner which will not cause Options or SARs granted under the Plan to fail to
qualify as "performance-based

/FN  Without giving effect to the one-for-two exchange pursuant to the
contemplated merger of the Company into Anteon Delaware.

<PAGE>
                                                                               8

compensation" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, if and to the extent
so intended to qualify.

      5. PARTICIPATION.

      Participation in the Plan shall only be open to employees, officers,
directors and consultants of the Corporation, or of any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, participation in
the Plan with respect to Awards of incentive stock options shall be limited to
employees of the Corporation or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Corporation.

      Awards may be granted to such eligible persons and for or with respect to
such number of shares of Common Stock as the Committee shall determine, subject
to the limitations in Section 4 of the Plan. A grant of any type of Award made
in any one year to an eligible person shall neither guarantee nor preclude a
further grant of that or any other type of Award to such person in that year or
subsequent years.

      6. STOCK OPTIONS.

      Subject to the other applicable provisions of the Plan, the Committee may
from time to time grant to eligible participants Awards of nonqualified stock
options or incentive stock options as that term is defined in Section 422 of the
Code. The stock option Awards granted shall be subject to the following terms
and conditions.

         (a) GRANT OF OPTION. The grant of a stock option shall be evidenced by
a Grant Agreement, executed by the Corporation and the grantee, stating the
number of shares of Common Stock subject to the stock option evidenced thereby
and the terms and conditions of such stock option, in such form as the Committee
may from time to time determine.

         (b) PRICE. The price per share payable upon the exercise of each stock
option ("exercise price") shall be determined by the Committee, provided,
however, that in the case of incentive stock options, the exercise price shall
not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date the
stock option is granted.

         (c) PAYMENT. Stock options may be exercised in whole or in part by
payment of the exercise price of the shares to be acquired in accordance with
the provisions of the Grant Agreement, and/or such rules and regulations as the
Committee may have prescribed, and/or such determinations, orders, or decisions
as the Committee may have made. Payment may be made (i) in cash (or cash
equivalents acceptable to the Committee), or (ii) in shares of Common Stock
based on the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock so delivered;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such shares are not subject to any pledge or other
security interest and have either been held by the eligible participant for six
months, previously acquired by the eligible participant on the open market or
meet such other requirements as the Committee may determine including, but not
limited to, requirements necessary in order to avoid an accounting earnings
charge in

<PAGE>

                                                                               9

respect of the option, or (iii) upon approval of the Committee and subject to
such limitations as the Committee may determine, by delivery of a properly
executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions, to: (A) a
brokerage firm designated by the Corporation to deliver promptly to the
Corporation the aggregate amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise
price and any withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the
exercise, and (B) the Corporation to deliver the certificates for such purchased
shares directly to such brokerage firm, or (iv) any combination of the
foregoing, or (v) by such other means as the Committee may prescribe. For
purposes of the foregoing clause (ii), the Fair Market Value of shares of Common
Stock delivered on exercise of stock options shall be determined as of the date
of exercise. Shares of Common Stock delivered in payment of the exercise price
may be previously owned shares or, if approved by the Committee, shares acquired
upon the exercise of the stock option. Any fractional share will be paid in
cash. Subject to any restrictions imposed by the Corporation's lenders or
creditors, the Corporation may make loans to grantees to assist grantees in
exercising stock options and satisfying any related withholding tax obligations.

         (d) TERMS OF OPTIONS. The term during which each stock option may be
exercised shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Grant
Agreement between the Corporation and the grantee. Prior to the exercise of the
stock option and delivery of the shares certificates represented thereby, the
grantee shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any
shares represented by an outstanding stock option.

         (e) RESTRICTIONS ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Incentive stock option
Awards granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with Code Section 422
and, as such, shall meet the following additional requirements:

             (i) GRANT DATE. An incentive stock option must be granted within 10
years of the earlier of the Plan's adoption by the Board of Directors or
approval by the Corporation's shareholders.

             (ii) EXERCISE PRICE AND TERM. The exercise price of an incentive
stock option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the shares
on the date the stock option is granted. Also, the exercise price of any
incentive stock option granted to a grantee who owns (within the meaning of
Section 422(b)(6) of the Code, after the application of the attribution rules in
Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
all classes of shares of the Corporation or its Parent or Subsidiary
corporations (within the meaning of Sections 422 and 424 of the Code) shall be
not less than 110 % of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the grant
date and the term of such stock option shall not exceed five years.

             (iii) MAXIMUM GRANT. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as
of the Grant Date) of shares of Common Stock with respect to which all incentive
stock options first become exercisable by any grantee in any calendar year under
this or any other plan of the Corporation and its Parent and Subsidiary
corporations may not exceed $100,000 or such other amount as may be permitted
from time to time

<PAGE>

                                                                              10

under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that such aggregate Fair Market
Value shall exceed $100,000, or other applicable amount, such stock options
shall be treated as nonqualified stock options. In such case, the Corporation
may designate the shares of Common Stock that are to be treated as stock
acquired pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option by issuing a
separate certificate for such shares and identifying the certificate as
incentive stock option shares in the stock transfer records of the Corporation.

             (iv) GRANTEE. Incentive stock options shall only be issued to
employees of the Corporation, or of a Parent or Subsidiary of the Corporation.

             (v) DESIGNATION. No stock option shall be an incentive stock option
unless so designated by the Committee at the time of grant or in the Grant
Agreement evidencing such stock option.

         (f) RELOAD OPTIONS. The Committee may provide for the grant to any
eligible participant of additional options ("Reload Options") upon the exercise
of options, including Reload Options, through the delivery of shares of Common
Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) Reload Options may be granted only with
respect to the same number of shares as were surrendered to exercise the
options, (ii) the exercise price per share of the Reload Options shall be not
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value as of the Grant Date of the Reload
Options and (iii) the Reload Options shall not be exercisable after the
expiration of the term of the options, and otherwise shall have the same terms
and conditions of the options, the exercise of which resulted in the grant of
the Reload Options.

         (g) OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Stock options may contain such other
provisions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee
shall determine appropriate from time to time.

      7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

         (a) AWARD OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Subject to the other applicable
provisions of the Plan, the Committee may at any time and from time to time
grant stock appreciation rights ("SARs") to eligible participants, either on a
free-standing basis (without regard to or in addition to the grant of a stock
option) or on a tandem basis (related to the grant of an underlying stock
option), as it determines. SARs granted in tandem with or in addition to a stock
option may be granted either at the same time as the stock option or at a later
time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a tandem SAR shall not be granted with respect to
any outstanding incentive stock option Award without the consent of the grantee.
SARs shall be evidenced by Grant Agreements, executed by the Corporation and the
grantee, stating the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the SAR
evidenced thereby and the terms and conditions of such SAR, in such form as the
Committee may from time to time determine. The term during which each SAR may be
exercised shall be determined by the Committee. The grantee shall have none of
the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares of Common Stock
represented by an SAR.

                                                                              11

         (b) RESTRICTIONS OF TANDEM SARS. No incentive stock option may be
surrendered in connection with the exercise of a tandem SAR unless the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the incentive stock option is
greater than the exercise price for such incentive stock option. SARs granted in
tandem with stock options shall be exercisable only to the same extent and
subject to the same conditions as the stock options related thereto are
exercisable. The Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe additional
conditions to the exercise of any such tandem SAR.

         (c) AMOUNT OF PAYMENT UPON EXERCISE OF SARS. An SAR shall entitle the
grantee to receive, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Grant
Agreement, a payment having an aggregate value equal to the product of (i) the
excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of Common
Stock over (B) the base price per share specified in the Grant Agreement, which
shall be determined by the Committee but which shall not be less than 100% of
the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the
SAR, times (ii) the number of shares specified by the SAR, or portion thereof,
which is exercised. In the case of exercise of a tandem SAR, such payment shall
be made in exchange for the surrender of the unexercised related stock option
(or any portion or portions thereof which the grantee from time to time
determines to surrender for this purpose).

         (d) FORM OF PAYMENT UPON EXERCISE OF SARS. Payment by the Corporation
of the amount receivable upon any exercise of an SAR may be made by the delivery
of Common Stock or cash, or any combination of Common Stock and cash, as
determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee from time to
time. If upon settlement of the exercise of an SAR a grantee is to receive a
portion of such payment in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares shall be
determined by dividing such portion by the Fair Market Value of a share of
Common Stock on the exercise date. No Fractional shares shall be used for such
payment and the Committee shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of
such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated.

         (e) AUTOMATIC EXERCISE. If on the last day of the option term in the
case of an option having a tandem SAR (or in the case of an SAR independent of
an option, the period established by the Committee after which the SAR shall
expire), the Fair Market Value exceeds the amount receivable upon any exercise
of the SAR, the eligible participant has not exercised the SAR or the
corresponding option, and neither the SAR nor the corresponding option has
expired, such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised by the eligible
participant on such last day and the Corporation shall make the appropriate
payment therefor.

      8. STOCK AWARDS (INCLUDING RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED SHARES AND PHANTOM
STOCK).

         (a) STOCK AWARDS IN GENERAL. Subject to the other applicable provisions
of the Plan, the Committee may at any time and from time to time grant stock
Awards to eligible participants in such amount and for such consideration,
including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by
law, as it

<PAGE>
                                                                              12

determines. A stock Award may be denominated in shares of Common Stock or
stock-equivalent units ("phantom stock"), and may be paid in Common Stock, in
cash, or in a combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole
and absolute discretion of the Committee from time to time.

         (b) RESTRICTED SHARES. Each stock Award shall, specify the applicable
restrictions, if any, on such shares of Common Stock, the duration of such
restrictions, and the time or times at which such restrictions shall lapse with
respect to all or a specified number of shares of Common Stock that are part of
the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may reduce or shorten
the duration of any restriction applicable to any shares of Common Stock awarded
to any grantee under the Plan. Share certificates with respect to restricted
shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to a stock Award may be issued at the
time of grant of the Stock Award, subject to Forfeiture as defined in the Grant
Agreement if the restrictions do not lapse, or upon lapse of the restrictions.
If share certificates are issued at the time of grant of the stock Award, the
certificates shall bear an appropriate legend with respect to the restrictions
applicable to such stock Award or, alternatively, the grantee may be required to
deposit the certificates with the Corporation during the period of any
restriction thereon and to execute a blank stock power or other instrument of
transfer therefor. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, during such
period of restriction following issuance of share certificates, the grantee
shall have all of the rights of a holder of Common Stock, including but not
limited to the rights to receive dividends (or amounts equivalent to dividends)
and to vote with respect to the restricted shares. If share certificates are
issued upon lapse of restrictions on a stock Award, the Committee may provide
that the grantee will be entitled to receive any amounts per share pursuant to
any dividend or distribution paid by the Corporation on its Common Stock to
stockholders of record after grant of the stock Award and prior to the issuance
of the share certificates.

         (c) PHANTOM STOCK. The grant of phantom stock units, if any, shall be
evidenced by a Grant Agreement, executed by the Corporation and the grantee,
that incorporates the terms of the Plan and states the number of Phantom stock
units evidenced thereby and the terms and conditions of such Phantom stock units
in such form as the Committee may from time to time determine. Phantom stock
units granted to a grantee shall be credited to a bookkeeping reserve account
solely for accounting purposes and shall not require a segregation of any of the
Corporation's assets. Phantom stock units may be exercised in whole or in part
by delivery of an appropriate exercise notice to the Committee in accordance
with the provisions of the Grant Agreement, and/or such rules and regulations as
the Committee may prescribe, and/or such determinations, orders, or decisions as
the Committee may make. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Grant
Agreement, the grantee shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with
respect to any shares of Common Stock represented by a phantom stock unit as a
result of the grant of a phantom stock unit to the grantee. Phantom stock units
may contain such other provisions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the
Plan, as the Committee shall determine appropriate from time to time.

<PAGE>
                                                                              13

      9. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.

      The Corporation may require, as a condition to the grant of any Award
under the Plan or exercise pursuant to such Award or to the delivery of
certificates for shares issued or payments of cash to a grantee pursuant to the
Plan or a Grant Agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "taxable
event"), that the grantee pay to the Corporation, in cash or, unless otherwise
determined by the Corporation, in shares of Common Stock, including shares
acquired upon grant of the Award or exercise of the Award, valued at Fair Market
Value on the date as of which the withholding tax liability is determined, any
federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to any taxable event under the Plan. The Corporation, to the extent
permitted or required by law, shall have the right to deduct from any payment of
any kind (including salary or bonus) otherwise due to a grantee any federal,
state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to
any taxable event under the Plan, or to retain or sell without notice a
sufficient number of the shares to be issued to such grantee to cover any such
taxes.

      10. TRANSFERABILITY.

      No Award granted under the Plan shall be transferable, except and to the
extent that a Grant Agreement provides with respect to an Award that is not an
incentive stock option (or related SAR). Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee in accord with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence,
an Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee, only by the
grantee or, during the period the grantee is under a legal disability, by the
grantee's guardian or legal representative.

      11. ADJUSTMENTS; BUSINESS COMBINATIONS.

      In the event of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, stock
dividend, combination of shares, or other similar or extraordinary event, the
maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance or with respect to which
Awards may be granted under the Plan as provided in Section 4 shall be adjusted
to reflect such event, and the Committee shall make such adjustments as it deems
appropriate and equitable in the number, kind and price of shares covered by
outstanding Awards made under the Plan, and in any other matters which relate to
Awards and which are affected by the changes in the Common Stock referred to
above.

      In the event of any proposed Change in Control, the Committee shall take
such action as it deems appropriate and equitable to effectuate the purposes of
this Plan and to protect the grantees of Awards, which action may include, but
without limitation, the following: (i) acceleration or change of the exercise
dates of any Award so that the unvested portion of any Award shall become 100%
vested and immediately exercisable; (ii) arrangements with grantees for the
payment of appropriate consideration to them for the cancellation and
surrender of any Award, which shall not be less than consideration paid for
other Common Stock of the Corporation which is acquired, sold, transferred,
or exchanged because of the proposed Change in Control; and (iii) in any case
where equity securities other than

<PAGE>
                                                                              14

Common Stock of the Corporation are proposed to be delivered in exchange for or
with respect to Common Stock of the Corporation, arrangements providing that any
Award shall become one or more Awards with respect to such other equity
securities.

      The Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and
conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or
nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in the
preceding two paragraphs of this Section 11) affecting the Corporation, or the
financial statements of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or of changes in
applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee
determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available
under the Plan.

      In the event the Corporation dissolves and liquidates (other than pursuant
to a plan of merger or reorganization), then notwithstanding any restrictions on
exercise set forth in this Plan or any Grant Agreement, or other agreement
evidencing a stock option, stock appreciation right or restricted stock Award:
(i) each grantee shall have the right to exercise his stock option or stock
appreciation right, or to require delivery of share certificates representing
any such restricted stock Award, at any time up to ten (10) days prior to the
effective date of such liquidation and dissolution; and (ii) the Committee may
make arrangements with the grantee for the payment of appropriate consideration
to him or her for the cancellation and surrender of any unvested stock option,
stock appreciation right or restricted stock Award that is so canceled or
surrendered at any time up to ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such
liquidation and dissolution. The Committee may establish a different period (and
different conditions) for such exercise, delivery, cancellation, or surrender to
avoid subjecting the grantee to liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act. Any stock option or stock appreciation right not so exercised, canceled, or
surrendered shall terminate on the last day for exercise prior to such effective
date; and any restricted stock as to which there has not been such delivery of
share certificates or that has not been so canceled or surrendered, shall be
forfeited on the last day prior to such effective date. The Committee shall give
to each grantee written notice of the commencement of any proceedings for such
liquidation and dissolution of the Corporation and the grantee's rights with
respect to his outstanding Award.

      12. TERMINATION AND MODIFICATION OF THE PLAN.

      The Board, without further approval of the stockholders, may modify or
terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, except that no
modification shall become effective without prior approval of the stockholders
of the Corporation if stockholder approval is necessary to comply with any tax
or regulatory requirement or rule of any exchange or Nasdaq System upon which
the Common Stock is listed or quoted, including for this purpose stockholder
approval that is required to enable the Committee to grant incentive stock
options pursuant to the Plan.

      The Committee shall be authorized to make minor or administrative
modifications to the Plan as well as modifications to the Plan that may be

<PAGE>
                                                                              15

dictated by requirements of federal or state laws applicable to the Corporation
or that may be authorized or made desirable by such laws. The Committee may
amend or modify the grant of any outstanding Award in any manner to the extent
that the Committee would have had the authority to make such Award as so
modified or amended.

      13. NON-GUARANTEE OF EMPLOYMENT.

      Nothing in the Plan or in any Grant Agreement thereunder shall confer any
right on an employee to continue in the employ of the Corporation or shall
interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation to terminate an employee
at any time.

      14. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

      For purposes of maintaining a grantee's continuous status as an employee
and accrual of rights under any Award, transfer of an employee among the
Corporation and the Corporation's Parent or Subsidiaries shall not be considered
a termination of employment. Nor shall it be considered a termination of
employment for such purposes if an employee is placed on military or sick leave
or such other leave of absence which is considered as continuing intact the
employment relationship; in such a case, the employment relationship shall be
continued until the date when an employee's right to reemployment shall no
longer be guaranteed either by law or contract.

      15. DESIGNATION AND CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY.

      Each eligible participant shall file with the Committee a written
designation of one or more persons as the beneficiary who shall be entitled to
receive the amounts payable with respect to an Award, if any, due under the Plan
upon his death. An eligible participant may, from time to time, revoke or change
his beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior beneficiary by
filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such designation received
by the Committee shall be controlling; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no designation,
or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the
Committee prior to the eligible participant's death, and in no event shall it be
effective as of a date prior to such receipt. If no beneficiary designation is
filed by an eligible participant, the beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or
her spouse or, if the eligible participant is unmarried at the time of death,
his or her estate.

      16. PAYMENTS TO PERSONS OTHER THAN PARTICIPANTS.

      If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable
under the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident,
or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such person or his estate
(unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal
representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Corporation, be paid to his
spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such
person, or any other person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on
behalf of such person otherwise entitled to

<PAGE>
                                                                              16

payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the
Committee and the Corporation therefor.

      17. WRITTEN AGREEMENT.

      Each Grant Agreement entered into between the Corporation and a grantee
with respect to an Award granted under the Plan shall incorporate the terms of
this Plan and shall contain such provisions, consistent with the provisions of
the Plan, as may be established by the Committee, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may decide from time to time.

      18. NON-UNIFORM DETERMINATIONS.

      The Committee's determinations under the Plan (including without
limitation determinations of the persons to receive Awards, the form, amount and
timing of such Awards, the terms and provisions of such Awards and the
agreements evidencing same) need not be uniform and may be made by it
selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under
the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.

      19. LIMITATION ON BENEFITS.

      With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act,
transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable
conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by
the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the
extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

      20. LISTING AND REGISTRATION.

      If the Corporation determines that the listing, registration or
qualification upon any securities exchange or upon any listing or quotation
system established by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("Nasdaq System") or under any law, of shares subject to any Award is necessary
or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of same or
the issue or purchase of shares thereunder, no such Award may be exercised in
whole or in part and no restrictions on such Award shall lapse, unless such
listing, registration or qualification is effected free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Corporation.

      21. GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS.

      The obligation of the Corporation to make payment of Awards in Common
Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required.
Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the
Corporation shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell and shall
be prohibited from offering to sell or selling any shares of Common Stock
pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been

<PAGE>
                                                                              17

properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities
and Exchange Commission or unless the Corporation has received an opinion of
counsel, satisfactory to the Corporation, that such shares may be offered or
sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and
the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The
Corporation shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the
Securities Act any of the shares of Common Stock to be offered or sold under the
Plan. If the shares of Common Stock offered for sale or sold under the Plan are
offered or sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities
Act, the Corporation may restrict the transfer of such shares and may legend the
Common Stock certificates representing such shares in such manner as it deems
advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption. The Committee may
require the grantee to provide appropriate written investment or other
representations, in order to comply with applicable securities laws or in
furtherance of the preceding provisions of this Section 21.

      22. NO LIMIT ON OTHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS.

      Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Corporation or its Parent
or Subsidiary corporations from adopting or continuing in effect other
compensation arrangements (whether such arrangements be generally applicable or
applicable only in specific cases) as the Committee or the Board in its sole and
absolute discretion determines desirable, including without limitation the
granting of stock options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights or phantom
stock units otherwise than under the Plan

      23. NO TRUST OR FUND CREATED.

      Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a
trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the
Corporation and a grantee or any other person. To the extent that any grantee or
other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Corporation pursuant
to an Award, such right shall be no greater that the right of any unsecured
general creditor of the Corporation.

      24. RELIANCE ON REPORTS.

      Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully
justified in relying, acting or failing to act, and shall not be liable for
having so relied, acted or failed to act in good faith, upon any report made by
the independent public accountant of the Corporation and its Affiliates and upon
any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any person or
persons other than himself.

      25. EXPENSES.

      The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and
its Affiliates.

<PAGE>

                                                                              18

      26. PRONOUNS.

      Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both
men and women.

      27. TITLES AND HEADINGS.

      The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of
reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather
than such titles or headings shall control.

      28. SEVERABILITY.

      If any provision of the Plan or any Grant Agreement is or becomes or is
deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any
Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed
applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended
to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed
amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the
intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such
jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award
shall remain in full force and effect.

      29. GOVERNING LAW.

      The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of Grant Agreements
entered into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules, regulations, determinations
or decisions made by the Board or Committee, relating to the Plan or such Grant
Agreements, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any
interest therein or thereunder, shall be determined exclusively in accordance
with applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of Delaware without
regard to its conflict of laws rules and principles.

      30. PLAN SUBJECT TO CHARTER AND BY-LAWS.

      This Plan is subject to the Charter and By-Laws of the Corporation, as
they may be amended from time to time.

      31. EFFECTIVE DATE; TERMINATION DATE.

         (a) The Plan is effective as of the date on which the Plan was adopted
by the Board, subject to approval of the stockholders within twelve months
before or after such date. No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the
close of business on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the
effective date of the Plan. Subject to other applicable provisions of the Plan,
all Awards made under the Plan prior to such termination of the Plan shall
remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in
accordance with the Plan and the terms of such Awards.

         (b) No option shall be treated as an incentive stock option unless the
Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Corporation in a manner
intended to comply with the shareholder approval requirements of Section
422(b)(i) of the Code; provided that any option intended to be an incentive
stock option shall not fail to be effective solely on account of a failure to
obtain such approval, but rather such option shall be treated as a nonqualified
stock option unless and until such approval is obtained.

                          STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT

                  This Grant Agreement (the "Agreement"), effective the ___ day
of _______, 200[_] (the "Grant Date"), is entered into by and between ANTEON
INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a Delaware Corporation (the "Corporation"), and
____________ (the "Grantee").

                                    ARTICLE 1
                                 GRANT OF OPTION

         SECTION 1.1 GRANT OF OPTIONS. Subject to the provision of the Agreement
and pursuant to the provisions of the Anteon International Corporation Omnibus
Stock Plan (the "Plan"), the Corporation hereby grants to Grantee as of the
Grant Date a stock option (the "Option") of the type stated on Schedule A,
attached hereto and made a part hereof, to purchase all or any part of the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, par value of $ 0.01 per
share, set forth on Schedule A, at the Exercise Price per share (the "Exercise
Price") set forth on Schedule A.

         SECTION 1.2 TERM OF OPTIONS. Unless the Option granted pursuant to
Section 1.1 terminates earlier pursuant to other provisions of the Agreement,
the Option shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

                                    ARTICLE 2
                                     VESTING

         SECTION 2.1 VESTING SCHEDULE. Unless the Option has earlier terminated
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Option shall become vested and
exercisable with respect to the percentage or number of underlying shares
specified on Schedule A in accordance with the vesting schedule specified on
Schedule A; provided, however, that the Option shall become fully vested and
exercisable upon a Change in Control; provided, further that Grantee shall have
been in the continuous employ of or affiliation with the Corporation from the
Grant Date through the relevant vesting date.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                               EXERCISE OF OPTION

         SECTION 3.1 EXERCISABILITY OF OPTION. No portion of the Option granted
to Grantee shall be exercisable by Grantee prior to the time such portion of the
Option has vested.

SECTION 3.2 MANNER OF EXERCISE. The vested portion of the Option may be
exercised, in whole or in part, by delivering written notice to the Committee in
accordance with Section 5.9 hereof in such form as the Committee may require
from time

<PAGE>

to time. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock subject
to the Option as to which the Option is being exercised, and shall be
accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price of the shares of Common Stock
as to which the Option is being exercised, such Exercise Price to be paid in a
manner permitted under the terms of Section 6(c) of the Plan. Payment of the
Exercise Price shall be made in cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the
Committee in the Committee's sole and absolute discretion.) The Option may be
exercised only in multiples of whole shares and no partial shares shall be
issued.

         SECTION 3.3 ISSUANCE OF SHARES AND PAYMENT OF CASH UPON EXERCISE. Upon
(i) exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of
the Agreement and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common
Stock as to which the Option is exercised, the Corporation shall issue to
Grantee the number of shares of Common Stock so paid for, in the form of fully
paid and nonassessable Common Stock (such shares, so issued, shall hereinafter
be referred to as "Shares").

                                   ARTICLE 4
                              TERMINATION OF OPTION

         SECTION 4.1 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR AFFILIATION FOR REASON OTHER
THAN DEATH OR DISABILITY. Unless the Option has earlier terminated pursuant to
the provisions of the Agreement, the Option granted to Grantee shall terminate
in its entirety, regardless of whether the Option is vested in whole or in part,
thirty (30) days after the date Grantee is no longer employed by, nor affiliated
with, the Corporation and its affiliates for any reason other than Grantee's
death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option granted to
Grantee shall terminate in its entirety, regardless of whether the Option is
vested in whole or in part, upon termination of the employment of the Grantee by
the Corporation or an affiliate for "cause". If Grantee is a party to a written
employment agreement with the Corporation or an affiliate which contains a
definition of "cause", "termination for cause" or any other similar term or
phrase, whether such Grantee is terminated for "cause" pursuant to this Section
4.1 shall be determined according to the terms of and in a manner consistent
with the provisions of such written employment agreement. If Grantee is not
party to such a written employment agreement with the Corporation or an
affiliate, then for purposes of this Section 4.1, "cause" shall mean: (i) the
failure by the Grantee to perform his or her duties as assigned by the
Corporation in a reasonable manner; (ii) any violation or breach by the Grantee
of his or her employment agreement with the Corporation, if any; (iii) any act
by the Grantee of dishonesty or bad faith with respect to the Corporation; (iv)
the use of alcohol, drugs or other similar substances affecting the Grantee's
work performance; or (v) the commission by the Grantee of any act, misdemeanor,
or crime reflecting unfavorably upon the Grantee or the Corporation. The good
faith determination by the Committee of whether the Grantee's employment was
terminated by the Corporation for `cause" shall be final and binding for all
purposes hereunder.

         SECTION 4.2 UPON GRANTEE'S DEATH. Unless the Option has earlier
terminated pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement, upon Grantee's death the
Option shall become fully vested and exercisable and Grantee's executor or
personal representative,

the person to whom the Option shall have been transferred by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, or such other permitted transferee, as the case may
be, may exercise all or any part of the outstanding Option with respect to
shares of Common Stock in accordance with the requirements of section 3.3
hereof, provided such exercise occurs within six (6) months after the date of
Grantee's death or at any time before the end of the stated term of the Option,
whichever is earlier.

         SECTION 4.3 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR AFFILIATION BY REASON OF
DISABILITY. Unless the Option has earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions
of the Agreement, in the event that Grantee ceases, by reason of Disability, to
be an employee of or affiliated with the Corporation or an affiliate, the Option
shall become fully vested and exercisable and the Option may be exercised, in
accordance with the requirements of section 3.3 hereof, in whole or in part at
any time within six (6) months after the date of Disability or at any time
before the end of the stated term of the Option, whichever is earlier. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean (i) the mutual agreement of
the Grantee and the Corporation that Grantee is disabled for purposes of this
Agreement, or (ii) the inability of the Grantee to substantially perform
Grantee's then present duties and responsibilities with the Corporation by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which has
lasted or can be expected to last for an aggregate of six months in any twelve
(12) month period. The Committee may require such proof of Disability as the
Committee in its sole and absolute discretion deems appropriate and the
Committee's determination as to whether Grantee is Disabled shall be final and
binding on all parties concerned.

         SECTION 4.4 FORFEITURE UPON ENGAGING IN ACTIVITIES DETRIMENTAL TO
CORPORATION. If, at any time within (a) the term of the Option or (b) within two
(2) years after Grantee exercises any portion of the Option or (c) within one
(1) year after Grantee terminates employment for any reason, whichever is the
latest, Grantee engages in any activity in competition with any activity of
Corporation, or inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of Corporation,
including, but not limited to: (i) conduct related to Grantee's employment for
which either criminal or civil penalties against Grantee may be sought, (ii)
violation of Corporation's policies, (iii) disclosing or misusing any
confidential information or material concerning Corporation, or (iv)
participating in a hostile takeover attempt, then (1) the Option shall terminate
effective the date on which Grantee enters into such activity, unless terminated
sooner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and (2) the amount of any
gain realized by Grantee from exercising all or a portion of the Option at any
time during the Option term, determined as of the time of exercise, shall be
paid by Grantee to Corporation.

                                   ARTICLE 5
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 5.1 NO GUARANTY OF EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan or the
Agreement shall be construed as a contract of employment between the Corporation
(or an affiliate) and Grantee, or as a contractual right of Grantee to continue
in the employ of the Corporation or an affiliate, or as a limitation of the
right of the Corporation or an affiliate to discharge Grantee at any time.

         SECTION 5.2 NO RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDER. Grantee shall not have any of the
rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock that may be
issued upon the exercise of the Option until such shares of Common Stock have
been issued to him upon the due exercise of the Option.

         SECTION 5.3 NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION. If Grantee makes a
disposition (as that term is defined in ss.424(c) of the Code) of any shares of
Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option
within two (2) years of the Grant Date or within one (1) year after the shares
of Common Stock are transferred to Grantee, Grantee shall notify the Committee
of such disposition in writing.

         SECTION 5.4 WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. The Corporation or any affiliate
shall have the right to deduct from any compensation or any other payment of any
kind (including withholding the issuance of shares of Common Stock) due Grantee
the amount of any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld
as the result of the exercise of the Option or the disposition (as that term is
defined in ss.424(c) of the Code) of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to
the exercise of the Option; provided, however, that the value of the shares of
Common Stock withheld may not exceed the statutory minimum withholding amount
required by law. In lieu of such deduction, the Committee may require Grantee to
make a cash payment to the Corporation or an affiliate equal to the amount
required to be withheld. If Grantee does not make such payment when requested,
the Corporation may refuse to issue any Common Stock certificate under the Plan
until arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for such payment have been
made.

         SECTION 5.5 NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. The Option shall be
nontransferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution,
and during the lifetime of Grantee, the Option may be exercised only by Grantee
or, during the period Grantee is under a legal disability, by Grantee's guardian
or legal representative.
