                        --------------------------------

        THIS STOCK OPTION (the "Option") is granted this 7th day of August,
2000, by MARLTON TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company") to
ROBERT B. GINSBURG (the "Optionee").

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

        1. Grant. Pursuant to the Company's 1990 Incentive Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan"), the Company hereby grants to the Optionee Incentive Stock Options
(the "Options") to purchase on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth an
aggregate of One Hundred, Seventy Five Thousand (175,000) shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value, $.10 per share (the "Option Shares"), at the
purchase price of $1.60 per share (the "Option Price"), subject to adjustment as
provided in Paragraph 5. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Plan.

        2. Term. This Option Agreement and Optionee's right to acquire Options
vested in accordance with Paragraph 3 shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (local
Philadelphia time) on July 31, 2010, notwithstanding Optionee's earlier death,
Total Disability or termination of employment by the Company or by Optionee for
any reason.

        3. Vesting. The Options will vest (all such Options upon vesting shall
constitute Accrued Installments under the Plan) as follows:

           (a) Options to purchase 62,500 Option Shares will vest on August 7,
2000.

           (b) Options to purchase 62,500 Option Shares will vest on January 1,
2001 provided Optionee continues in the employment of the Company.

           (c) Options to purchase 50,000 Option Shares will vest on January 1,
2002 provided Optionee continues in the employment of the Company.

           (d) All Options will vest immediately in their entirety in the
event of a Terminating Transaction of the Company or in the event Optionee's
employment with the Company is terminated by the Company or by Optionee for any
reason, including without limitation due to death or Total Disability. Any such
vested Options of the deceased Optionee may be exercised prior to their
expiration only by the person or persons whom the Optionee's Option rights pass
by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

        4. Method of Exercise and Payment. This Option may be exercised with
respect to vested Option Shares from time to time, in whole or in part. When
exercisable under Paragraph 3, the Option may be exercised by written notice to
the Company specifying the total number of Option Shares to be exercised. The
notice shall be accompanied by payment in cash or by check equal to the
aggregate Option Price of all Option Shares covered by such notice, or Optionee
may elect to pay for some or all of the Option Shares with shares of Common
Stock of the Company previously acquired and owned by Optionee at the time of
exercise of this Option, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.06(b) of
the Plan. Such exercise shall be effective upon the actual receipt by the
Company of such written notice and payment.

        5. Adjustments. The Option Shares and the Option Price are subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 6.09 of the Plan. The Option Price will also
be adjusted in the event shares, or options to acquire shares, of Common Stock
are issued after the date of this Option Agreement to officers or directors of
the Company at a price (or, in the case of options, having an exercise price)
lower than the Option Price. In such event, the Option Price will be adjusted to
equal the purchase price of such shares or the exercise price of such options,
as the case may be, but in no event will the Option Price be less than the Fair
Market Value of shares of the Company's Common Stock on the date of this Option
Agreement unless Optionee elects in writing to have this Option Agreement
treated as a Non-Qualified Option under the Plan.

        6. Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company shall be addressed to
the Company at its principal executive office, and any notice to be given to the
Optionee shall be addressed to the Optionee at the address then appearing on the
personnel records of the Company or at such other address as either party
hereafter may designate in

                                       15

writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given
when deposited in the United States mail, addressed as aforesaid, registered or
certified mail, and with proper postage and registration or certification fees
prepaid.

        7. Tax Provision. This Option Agreement shall be interpreted and
construed in a manner consistent with, and to satisfy the requirements of, the
incentive stock option provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it
may be amended from time to time (the "Code") and of the Plan. This Option
Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of the Plan, Section 422A(b)
of the Code and qualify for special tax treatment under Section 421 et seq of
the Code.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has granted this Option on the day and
year first above written.
