                               Atrion Corporation
  Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan for Chief Financial Officer
                               Calendar Year 2000

This plan provides the opportunity for Jeffery Strickland, Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer of Atrion Corporation, to receive incentive compensation
based on the attainment of certain stated goals during the calendar year 2000.
This plan amends and restates the plan adopted by the Board in 1998 with respect
to the calendar year 2000.

FINANCIAL GOALS:

The financial goal for Atrion for calendar year 2000 is the earnings per share
(EPS) estimate included in the Budget for 2000 prepared by management and
submitted to the Board of Directors at its February 15, 2000 meeting. This EPS
target figure is based on continuing operations and excludes extraordinary and
one-time items.

For the year 2000, if the targeted EPS figure is met, then Jeffery Strickland
(JS) is entitled to incentive compensation equal to 25% of his base salary for
that year. If the target for 2000 is exceeded, then JS shall be entitled to
receive incentive compensation, in addition to the incentive compensation
payable pursuant to the preceding sentence, in an amount equal to that
percentage of his base salary for 2000 that is one-half (1/2) of the percentage
by which the actual EPS for 2000 exceeds the target EPS for 2000.

NON-FINANCIAL GOALS:

JS's performance shall be evaluated by the Board without stated non-financial
goals and any incentive compensation award shall be at the discretion of the
Board.

                                 SEVERANCE PLAN

1.    PURPOSE OF PLAN

      While Atrion Corporation (the "Company") is of the view that its business
provides an optimistic outlook for the Company's future profitability and growth
and while the Company has no present plans for any Extraordinary Event (as
defined below), the Company wishes to provide certain assurances to Jeffery
Strickland (the "Executive"), who is currently serving as Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company, by adopting
this Severance Plan in the event one of these Extraordinary Events should occur.
The purpose of this Severance Plan (the "Plan") is to ensure that the Executive,
who the Company recognizes has made and is expected to continue making a
significant contribution to the growth and financial success of the Company,
will be able to evaluate objectively any proposed Extraordinary Event without
being distracted by the potential economic impact of such Extraordinary Event
upon the Executive's personal circumstances.

2.    DEFINITIONS.

(a)   "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company.
(b)   "Committee"  means the Compensation  Committee of the Board of Directors
of the Company.

(c)   "Extraordinary Event" shall mean any of the following events:

      (i) The Company is merged, consolidated or reorganized into or with
      another corporation or other person and as a result of such merger,
      consolidation or reorganization less than 50% of the combined voting power
      of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person
      immediately after such transaction are held in the aggregate by the
      holders of voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such
      transaction;

      (ii) The Company sells all or substantially all of its assets to any other
      corporation or other person and as a result of such sale less than 50% of
      the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of
      such corporation or person immediately after such transaction are held in
      the aggregate by the holders of voting securities of the Company
      immediately prior to such sale;

      (iii) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the directors of
      the Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof
      unless the election or the nomination for election by the Company's
      stockholders of each director of the Company first elected after the date
      hereof was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of
      the Company then still in office who were directors of the Company as of
      the date hereof; or

      (iv)  Dissolution of the Company under Delaware law.

occurrence of the first event which constitutes an Extraordinary Event and
ending upon the earliest to occur of the following:

(iii) The expiration of two (2) years after the occurrence of an Extraordinary
      Event.

determinations deemed necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.

4.    TERMINATION BY COMPANY FOLLOWING AN EXTRAORDINARY EVENT

      In the event of the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event, the Company may
terminate the Executive's employment by the Company during the Post Event Period
without incurring the obligation to make the payments set forth in Paragraph 5
below only for Cause. For purposes of this Plan, "Cause" shall mean (i) an act
of dishonesty by the Executive resulting in gain or personal enrichment of the
Executive, or (ii) failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties
with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the Executive's
incapacity due to mental or physical illness).

5.    SEVERANCE PAYMENT

      In the event of an Extraordinary Event as defined in Paragraph 2(c)(iv)
above during the term of this Plan or if, during the Post Event Period, the
Executive's employment by the Company is terminated by the Company other than
pursuant to Paragraph 4 above (for Cause) or is terminated by the Executive for
Good Reason (as defined in Paragraph 6 below), the Company shall pay to the
Executive in a lump sum within ten (10) business days of the effective date of
the Extraordinary Event as defined in Paragraph 2(c)(iv) above or the date of
termination of the Executive's employment with the Company during the Post Event
Period (the "Termination Date"), in lieu of any further payments of salary to
the Executive for periods subsequent to such Extraordinary Event or Termination
Date, as the case may be, an amount which is equal to the annual base salary
paid by the Company to the Executive in the twelve (12) month period preceding
such Extraordinary Event or the Termination Date, as the case may be.

Post Event Period from the annual base salary in effect for Executive
immediately preceding the Post Event Period.

(b) The relocation of the Executive's principal office to a location outside of
the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area unless such relocation is effected as a
result of a request for such relocation by the Executive or a request for such
relocation that is made by the Company and agreed to by the Executive.

(c) The failure by any successor as contemplated in Paragraph 10(c) hereof to
assume this Plan and agree to perform the Company's obligations hereunder.

(d) Termination of this Plan except as permitted in Paragraph 9(a) below.

7.    EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

      Nothing expressed or implied in this Plan shall create any right or duty
on the part of the Company or the Executive to have the Executive remain in the
employment of the Company prior to any Extraordinary Event.

8.    WITHHOLDING OF TAXES

      The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Plan all

            of employment of the Executive following the commencement of any
            discussions with a third party authorized by the Board that is
            followed by an Extraordinary Event in which such third party (or an
            associate or affiliate thereof) is a party within six (6) months of
            the commencement of such discussions shall be deemed to be a
            termination of the Executive's employment after an Extraordinary
            Event for purposes of this Plan; provided further, however, that any
            termination of the Executive's employment without Cause (as defined
            in Paragraph 4 above) within six (6) months preceding the earlier of
            (A) an Extraordinary Event defined in Paragraph 2(c)(iv) hereof or
            (B) the adoption by the Board of a resolution to dissolve the
            Company that is followed by an Extraordinary Event defined in
            Paragraph 2(c)(iv) hereof shall be deemed to have occurred after the
            Extraordinary Event defined in Paragraph 2(c)(iv) hereof;

Company acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee shall be personally
liable for any action, determination or interpretation taken or made in good
faith with respect to the Plan; and all members of the Board and the Committee
and each officer and employee acting on their behalf shall, to the extent

and the Company's obligations hereunder in the same manner and to the same
extent the Company would be required to perform hereunder if no such succession
had taken place.
