                                                           Date:

or such other place as the Lender shall designate, the principal sum of
________________________________Dollars ($______), together with interest on the
unpaid principal hereof from the date hereof at the rate of 4% per annum, in
lawful money of the United States of America.

                  Payment of the entire amount of principal hereof shall be made
(i) not later than five (5) years from the date hereof, (ii) upon cessation of
the Debtor's employment with the Lender (including its subsidiaries), or (iii)
upon the sale of the Debtor's Option Shares as defined in the Loan Plan
described herein whichever occurs earlier, as more fully set forth in the Loan
Plan. Payment of interest shall be made annually, on each anniversary of the
date hereof or on the next succeeding business day if such anniversary shall
fall on a non-business day, until this Note shall have been paid in full and,
upon payment in full of the principal hereof, any accrued but unpaid interest
shall be paid. In the event that the Debtor shall fail to pay all or any part of
the principal of this Note when due (whether at maturity, by reason of
acceleration or otherwise), such unpaid principal shall bear interest from its
due date until paid in full at an annual rate equal to the "prime rate" (in
effect from time to time) of the bank with whom the Lender has its primary
banking relationship (but such rate shall in no event be greater than the
maximum rate permitted by any applicable law).

                  This Note arises out of and is subject to the terms of (i) a
certain Stock Purchase Loan Plan adopted by resolution of the Board of Directors
of the Lender on February 16, 1979 (such Plan, as in effect from time to time,
being herein called the "Loan Plan") and (ii) is secured in accordance with the
Loan Plan and by a Security Agreement, dated as of ____________ between the
Debtor and the Lender, granting a security interest to the Lender in certain
Option Shares (as defined in the Loan Plan) and/or other collateral. The Debtor
hereby accepts and agrees to abide by the terms and provisions of the Loan Plan,
which Loan Plan, among other things, contains provisions for the prepayment on
account of the principal of this Note prior to maturity and provisions with
respect to the acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of
certain stated events, all upon the terms and conditions specified in the Loan
Plan.

                  The Debtor shall have the right to prepay the unpaid principal
of this Note in whole at any time together with unpaid interest accrued to date,
or in part from time to time, without premium.

                  No delay or omission of the holder hereof to exercise any
right hereunder or under the Loan Plan, whether before or after the happening of
any event of default or non-compliance with the Loan Plan, shall impair any such
right or shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any event of default or
non-compliance with the Loan Plan, nor shall any single or partial exercise
thereof, or the exercise by the holder hereof, preclude any other or further
exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right. The remedies provided are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity.

                  The Debtor hereby waives demand, presentment of payment,
notice of non-payment and protest.

                  The Debtor agrees to pay all costs of collection and
reasonable attorneys' fees in case the principal and/or interest hereof shall
not be paid when due and payable.

                  This Note is to be governed by and construed an enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

maintain margin requirements, or in the event the Corporation shall, in its
discretion, find it necessary for its protection to require additional
Collateral at an earlier or later point in time than called for by said margin
requirements, or if any Event of Default shall occur and shall continue the
Corporation may, without notice to the Debtor, sell all the Collateral in such
manner (including a sale on any exchange or other market where such business is
usually transacted, or at any public auction or private sale) and for such
price, not contrary to applicable law, as the Corporation may determine. The
Corporation shall be free to purchase all or any part of the Collateral for its
own account. Out of the proceeds of any sale the Corporation may retain an
amount equal to the Total Debt, plus the amount of the expenses of any sale and
any other obligations which may have accrued, and shall pay any balance of such
proceeds to the Debtor.

                  The Debtor shall be responsible for the prompt payment of any
deficiency.

                  9. NO WAIVER

                  No failure on the part of the Corporation or the Debtor to
exercise, and no delay on the part of the Corporation or the Debtor in
exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Corporation or the
Debtor of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The
remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by
law.

"optionee") under the Corporation's Qualified Stock Option Plan, Non-Qualified
Stock Option Plan or Incentive Stock Option Plan, an amount equal to the
aggregate purchase price or any portion thereof for shares issuable under such

         A. Each such loan shall bear interest at the rate of 4% per annum,
payable annually, on the anniversary date of such loan, PROVIDED that each such
loan outstanding on March 23, 1984, shall not bear interest, effective as of
March 1, 1984.

         B. Each such loan shall be repaid in full (i) on or before the fifth
anniversary date of such loan, provided that each such loan outstanding on March
23, 1984, shall have a maturity date of March 23, 1989; (ii) in the event of the
death of the optionee or cessation of employment of the optionee by reason of
the optionee's total disability, on or before the first anniversary date of such
death or such cessation of employment, PROVIDED that this clause (ii) shall not
apply to each such loan outstanding on March 23, 1984; (iii) upon the cessation

         D. All Option Shares with respect to which any such loan is made or
such lesser number of such Option Shares as shall be required to comply with the
Margin Limitation set forth in Section 4A hereof, together with the proceeds of
any sale of such Option Shares (to the extent contemplated in Section 1E
hereof), shall be pledged to the Corporation as security for the payment of the
principal of and interest, if any, on such loan and similar loans, and also,

shall first be applied to the repayment of outstanding loans from the
Corporation incurred with respect to Option Shares, and next applied to the
reduction of any bank debt relating to Option Shares and guaranteed by the
Corporation, and in any event applied to the repayment of any indebtedness to
the Corporation, or indebtedness to a bank, relating to Option Shares to the
extent, if any, required to comply with the Margin Limitation set forth in
Section 4A hereof. At the direction of the Plan Committee (as defined in Section
7A hereof), the proceeds may be applied to the reduction of bank debt guaranteed
prior to the repayment of loans from the Corporation. Option Shares may be
released from the pledge under other circumstances with the prior approval of
the Plan Committee and subject to compliance with the Margin Limitation set
forth in Section 4A hereof.

         F. As a condition to the making of any loan under this Section 1,
provision shall be made, satisfactory to the Corporation, for the withholding or
payment of amounts required to be withheld for income tax purposes in connection
with the exercise of any option under the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan or
otherwise in connection with the purchase of any Option Shares.

         2. ADDITIONAL LOANS OR GUARANTEES OF BANK LOANS. The Corporation may
from time to time, at an optionee's request, lend to such optionee or guarantee
the repayment of a loan (including principal and accrued interest) made by an
established bank to any optionee referred to in Section 1 of this Plan for the
purpose of paying federal and other income taxes due as a result of the purchase
of Option Shares upon the exercise of stock options granted to such optionee
under the Corporation's Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan or the exercise of stock
options granted under the Corporation's Qualified Stock Option Plan or Incentive
Stock Option Plan under circumstances resulting in ordinary income tax treatment
or for such other purpose (notice of which shall have been given to the
Compensation Committee) arising after such a taxable event has occurred as shall
be acceptable to the Compensation Committee, all subject to any applicable laws
and regulations relating to margin requirements, upon the terms and conditions
set forth below:

         A. Such loans or guarantees with respect to loans may not be made in an
aggregate principal amount exceeding 50% of the amount of ordinary income
(taxable income) recognizable for federal income tax purposes attributable to
the exercise of such non-qualified options, or to the exercise of qualified or
incentive options under such circumstances; except to the extent otherwise
authorized by the Board of Directors.

         B. Each such loan by the Corporation shall bear interest at the rate of
4% per annum, payable annually, on the anniversary date of such loan, PROVIDED
that each such loan outstanding on March 23, 1984, shall not bear interest,
effective as of March 1, 1984.

         C. Each such loan or bank loan shall be repaid in full (i) on or before
the fifth anniversary date of the purchase of the Option Shares to which such
loan relates, PROVIDED that each such loan outstanding on March 23, 1984, shall
have a maturity date of March 23, 1989; (ii) in the event of the death of the
optionee or cessation of employment of the optionee by reason of the optionee's
total disability, on or before the first anniversary date of such death or such

                                       2
<PAGE>   12

cessation of employment, PROVIDED that this clause (ii) shall not apply to each
such loan outstanding on March 23, 1984; (iii) upon the cessation of the
employment of the optionee by the Corporation (including its subsidiaries) , if
other than by reason of the death or total disability of the optionee, PROVIDED
that this clause (iii) shall not apply to each such loan outstanding on March
23, 1984; or (iv) upon the sale of the Option Shares to which such loan relates,
whichever of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) is earliest.

         D. Each such loan by the Corporation may be prepaid at any time without
premium and each such loan by the Corporation or bank loan or any part thereof
shall be prepaid to the extent required to maintain the Margin Limitation set
forth in Section 4A hereof.

         E. Subject to Section 3G hereof, all Option Shares to which any such
loan or guarantee relates or such lesser number of such Option Shares as shall
be required to comply with the Margin Limitation set forth in Section 4A hereof,
together with the proceeds of any sale thereof (to the extent contemplated in
Section 1E hereof), shall be pledged to the Corporation as security for the
payment of principal and interest, if any, on such loan and also for the payment
to the Corporation of any amount paid by the Corporation to the bank in
discharge of the optionee's obligation on the bank debt pursuant to the
Corporation's guarantee, in accordance with the Corporation's right of
subrogation in such event, or otherwise (or for the payment of the underlying
bank debt, directly), and also for the payment of any obligations of the
optionee to the Corporation under any loans made pursuant to Section 1 of this
Plan.

         F. Option Shares shall be released from the pledge to the Corporation
as provided for in Section 1E hereof.

         G. As a condition to the making of any loan or guarantee under this
Section 2, provision shall have been made, satisfactory to the Corporation, for
the withholding or payment of amounts required to be withheld for income tax
purposes in connection with the exercise of any option under the Non-Qualified
Stock Option Plan or otherwise in connection with the purchase of any Option
Shares.

         3. PLEDGE.

         A. Option Shares shall be pledged to the Corporation as provided for in
Sections 1D, 1E, 2E, and 2F hereof. Such other marketable securities or such
other collateral as shall be acceptable to the Corporation, with the approval of
the Compensation Committee, may be pledged to the Corporation as collateral
securing the obligations referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Plan. Such
other collateral shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan to
the same extent as if it were Option Shares. (All Option Shares and all other
collateral held by the Corporation under this Plan are hereinafter sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Collateral.") The optionee shall represent and
warrant to the Corporation that all such Option Shares and other Collateral are
owned by such optionee free and clear of any lien, pledge or other security
interest or claim of any kind. All such Option Shares and other Collateral shall
be assigned, transferred and delivered, as security, to the Corporation, or at
its election to a nominee or custodian designated by the Corporation, free and
clear of any such lien, security interest or claim.

         B. All cash dividends paid and other cash distributions made with
respect to the Collateral shall be applied to the reduction of the Total Debt,
unless otherwise determined by the Plan Committee, in its sole discretion, and

                                       3
<PAGE>   13

all other dividends paid and distributions made with respect to, and securities
received in exchange for or upon exercise or conversion of, the Collateral shall
be held as additional Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Plan to the same extent as if it were Option Shares.

         C. All or any part of the Collateral may be pledged or repledged by the
Corporation to the bank in connection with any bank loans to the optionee
guaranteed by the Corporation, as security for such guarantee and/or the
repayment of such loans, without notice to the optionee, and the bank shall have
all of the rights of the Corporation under this Plan, without limitation to any
other rights of the bank.

         D. All voting and other rights of a security holder with respect to the
Collateral shall be exercised in accordance with the instructions of the
optionee.

         E. Upon the discharge in full of the Total Debt at any time
outstanding, and the release of the Corporation from all guarantees relating
thereto, the Collateral promptly shall be assigned, transferred and delivered to
the optionee.

         F. Notwithstanding the foregoing pledge, unless otherwise agreed to in
writing by the Corporation, the optionee shall be liable to the Corporation for
any deficiency remaining with respect to the discharge of the Total Debt in the
event of the liquidation of the Collateral, by the optionee or the Corporation,
and the optionee shall make payment promptly of the balance of such Total Debt
and any related obligations.

         G. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the
extent necessary to comply with Regulation G promulgated by the Federal Reserve
Board, Collateral pledged to the Corporation to secure any obligation under this
Plan which is 'purpose credit' pursuant to such Regulation G shall not be relied
upon as Collateral for any other obligation under this Plan.

         4. MARGIN.

         A. MARGIN LIMITATION. The optionee will have pledged with the
Corporation such Option Shares and other Collateral, for margin purposes, as
shall have an aggregate Market Value of (i) at all times during which any loans
from the Corporation or guaranteed by the Corporation pursuant to this Plan are
outstanding, not less than the amount of the Total Debt then outstanding,
PROVIDED that if all Option Shares with respect to which any loan was made
hereunder (whether the loan was for the purchase price of such Option Shares,
the amount of the tax liability incurred upon exercise of the options or for
another purpose) are pledged to the Corporation as Collateral, such Collateral
shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this clause (i)
regardless of the Market Value of such Option Shares, and (ii) at all applicable
times, not less than the amount required under Regulation G promulgated by the
Federal Reserve Board and any other applicable margin laws. Not withstanding the
foregoing, but subject to any applicable margin laws, the Compensation Committee
may permit the aggregate market value of an optionee's Collateral to be an
amount less than that contemplated in clause (i) above under circumstances in

                                       4
<PAGE>   14

which the margin limitation set forth in clause (i) would, in the Compensation
Committee's view, cause undue hardship or inequities. Any withdrawal of
Collateral shall be subject to compliance with such margin requirements.

         B. LIQUIDATION. The Corporation shall have the right with respect to
any optionee's account, in accordance with the margin requirements established
pursuant to Section 4A hereof, or if in the Corporation's discretion it
reasonably considers it necessary for its protection to require additional
collateral at an earlier or later point in time than called for pursuant to said
provisions, or in the event that a petition in bankruptcy or for the appointment
of a receiver is filed by or against the optionee, or an attachment is levied
against the optionee's Collateral, or in the event of the death or total
disability of the optionee, to sell any or all of the Collateral, without demand
for additional collateral, notice of sale, or other notice. Any such sale may be
made at the Corporation's discretion on any exchange or other market where such
business is usually transacted, or at public auction or private sale; and the
Corporation may be the purchaser for its own account. It shall be understood
that a prior demand, or call, or prior notice of the time and place of such sale
shall not be considered a waiver of the Corporation's right to sell or buy
without demand or notice provided in this Plan.

         5. DEFAULTS.

         In the event (i) that a petition in bankruptcy or for the appointment
of a receiver is filed by or against the optionee, or an attachment is levied
against the optionee's Collateral, or, in the event of the death or cessation of
employment of the optionee by reason of the optionee's total disability, upon
the day next succeeding the first anniversary date of such death or such
cessation of employment, PROVIDED that if such first anniversary is later than
the maturity date of the debt as provided for in Sections 1C and 2B hereof, then
upon the day next succeeding such maturity date, (ii) that the optionee defaults
in the payment of principal of or interest, if any, on any bank loan guaranteed
by the Corporation, or (iii) of default by the optionee in any of the optionee's
obligations with respect to this Plan or of any breach or inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty made by the optionee in connection with this Plan,
the Corporation may, at its option, by notice in writing to the optionee,
declare all debt to the Corporation and all Bank debt guaranteed by the
Corporation to be, and such debt shall thereupon be, immediately due and
payable, together with all interest accrued thereon, without further notice,
demand or presentment, and, in the event all obligations of the optionee with
respect to the Total Debt are not immediately discharged, the Corporation may
liquidate the Collateral of the optionee, discharge all bank debt of the
optionee guaranteed by the Corporation, and discharge all the optionee's
obligations to the Corporation. In general and without limitation to the
foregoing, the Corporation shall have all of the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

         6. DEFINITIONS.

         "Market Value" of a security shall mean the average of the closing
prices of such security on a national securities exchange as reported by such
exchange or, if the security is not listed on a national securities exchange,
the average of the means of the closing bid and asked prices reported in the
NASDAQ System for the trading day immediately preceding the date as of which
such Market Value is to be determined. The "Market Value" of any other property
shall be its fair market value, determined in a reasonable manner, as approved
by the Plan Committee.

                                       5

any loan or any guarantee pursuant to this Plan, any such loan or guarantee to

         D. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. This Plan may be amended or terminated at

                        AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS AMENDMENT ("Amendment"), dated and effective as of April 26, 2000,
amends the EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT that was made and entered into as of March 11,
1999 and amended on May 4, 1999 and on March 10, 2000 (collectively the
Employment Agreement and both amendments, the "Agreement") by and between
CyberGuard Corporation, a Florida corporation ("Company"), and David R. Proctor
("Employee").

         WHEREAS, the Company, through its Board of Directors, desires to amend
the Agreement and Employee also desires to amend the Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

A.       Section 4 of the Agreement shall be amended by adding the following
         subsection 4h:

         H. SPECIAL OPTION. In addition to salary, bonus and options described
         in the Agreement, Employee is hereby awarded an option to acquire
         50,000 shares ("Special Option Shares") of Company common stock under
         the Company's Stock Incentive Plan, at an exercise price of $6.50 per
         share. The Special Option Shares shall vest as long as the Employee
         continues to serve as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. The
         vesting of the Special Option Shares shall remain unaffected by any
         termination of the Employment Agreement. The Special Option Shares
         shall become exercisable in 1/3 increments on the first, second and
         third anniversaries of April 26, 2000 as long as the Employee continues
         to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. An option agreement
         ("Option Agreement") shall be prepared providing for other terms and
         conditions regarding the Special Option Shares that are typical of
         other executives option agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the
         contrary, the Option Agreement shall: (1) supersede the Employment
         Agreement with respect to the Special Option Shares; and (2) continue
         in full force and effect after any termination of the Employment
         Agreement, provided the Employee continues to serve on the Board of
         Directors at the time of termination of the Employment Agreement.

B.       Other than as stated in this Amendment, the Agreement shall remain in
         full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment to the Agreement has been executed by the
parties as of the date first above written.

         COMPANY:                                 EMPLOYEE:
