                                   Transaction; provided, however, that a
                                   termination of employment by Employee:
                                   (A) subsequent to an express assumption
                                   and agreement to perform this Agreement

                    indicates the specific termination provision in this
                    Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable,
                    sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and

                    either party to this Agreement of such party's desire
                    not to allow the Term of the Agreement to automatically
                    renew at the end of the then-current Term for another
                    Term, thus having the effect of terminating the

                    in accordance with Section 2.1 of this Agreement, shall
                    mean a one-year period commencing on the particular
                    anniversary date of the Effective Date and ending on the

                    Control of Angelica, or (ii) a Disposition of the

Employee's employment with Angelica is terminated prior to the end of the
initial Term or prior to the end of any subsequent renewal Term, as the case
may be, (a) by Angelica without Good Cause or (b) by Employee for Good
Reason, then upon the negotiation and execution of a mutually acceptable
settlement and release agreement by Angelica and Employee, in addition to
any accrued salary and other payments owed to Employee under Angelica's
other benefit plans and policies, Angelica shall pay Employee an amount
equal to Employee's then-current Annual Base Salary. Said amount shall be
paid in equal, semi-monthly payments, less applicable taxes, withholdings
and standard deductions. In the case of a termination of Employee's
employment with Angelica not in connection with a Triggering Transaction for
any reason other than as stated in this Section 4.1 above, Employee shall be
entitled only to accrued salary and other payments owed to Employee under
Angelica's other benefit plans and policies.

(b) if one of the above-described terminations of employment occurs within
the six-month period prior to the earlier of (i) a Triggering Transaction or

Triggering Transaction Date, in the case where the sequence of the requisite
events occurred as set forth in subsection (b) above (the relevant date for
purposes of entitlement to the benefits set forth in this Section 4.2 is
hereinafter referred to as the "Entitlement Date"). In addition, at the
Entitlement Date, to the extent not otherwise provided for under the terms
of Angelica's stock option plans or Employee's stock option agreements, all

benefit plans and policies.

SECTION 5:     NON-COMPETITION, CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-DIVERSION.

               5.1 NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT. It is agreed that during the
period beginning on the Effective Date and ending one year after the Date of
Termination, regardless of whether such termination is by the action of
Employee or Angelica or by mutual agreement, Employee shall not, either for
himself or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation (whether for profit
or otherwise) engage in any form of competition with Angelica, directly or
indirectly, through any commercial venture, as a partner, officer, director,
stockholder, advisor, employee, consultant, agent, salesman, venturer or
otherwise, in the business conducted by the Operating Line of Business in
the United States, Canada or any other country in which Angelica does
business. This requirement, however, will not limit Employee's right to
invest in the capital stock or other equity securities of any corporation,
the stock or securities of which are publicly owned or are regularly traded
on any public securities exchange. In addition, notwithstanding this Section
5.1, if Employee is terminated by Angelica without Good Cause or if Employee
terminates his employment with Angelica for Good Reason, then Employee will
not be subject to the restrictions of this Section 5.1.

               5.2 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Employee acknowledges that
during his employment with Angelica, he may develop or be exposed to
confidential information concerning Angelica's inventions, processes,
methods and confidential affairs, property of a proprietary nature and trade
secrets of Angelica or its licensors or customers. Employee agrees that the
maintenance of the proprietary character of such information and property to
the full extent feasible is important and that for so long as any such
confidential information and trade secrets may remain confidential, secret
or otherwise wholly or partially protectable, either during or after
Employee's Employment Period, shall not use or divulge such confidential
information or property except as permitted or required by the duties of
Employee's employment with Angelica. Employee shall not remove any property
of a proprietary nature from Angelica's premises except as required by the
duties of Employee's employment. Employee shall return to Angelica upon
termination of his employment with Angelica, all models, drawings,
photographs, writings, records, papers or other properties produced by
Employee or coming into his possession by or through his employment with
Angelica.

               5.3 NON-DIVERSION. During the Employment Period and for one
year after the Date of Termination, Employee shall not directly or
indirectly or by aid to others, do anything which could be expected to
divert from Angelica any trade or business with any customer of Angelica
with whom Employee had any contact or association during the one year
immediately preceding the Date of Termination.

               5.4 REASONABLENESS OF RESTRICTIONS. Employee agrees that the
period and areas of restriction following the Date of Termination, as set
forth in this Section 5, are reasonably required for the protection of
Angelica and its business, as well as the continued protection of Angelica's
employees. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements or provisions
contained herein shall be held to be contrary to the policy of a specific
law, though not expressly prohibited, or against public policy, or shall for
any other reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such particular covenant,
agreement or provision shall be

                                    -8-

null and void and shall be deemed separable from the remaining covenants,
agreements and provisions, and shall in no way affect the validity of any of
the other covenants, agreements and provisions hereof. The parties hereto
agree that in the event that either the length of time or the geographic
area set forth herein is deemed too restrictive in any court proceeding, the
court may reduce such restrictions to those which it deems reasonable under
the circumstances.

               5.5 EQUITABLE RELIEF. Any action by Employee contrary to the
restrictive covenants contained in this Section 5 may as a matter of course
be restrained by equitable or injunctive process issued out of any court of
competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedies provided in law.
In the event of the breach of Employee's covenants as set forth in this
Section 5 and Angelica's obtaining of injunctive relief, the period of
restrictions set forth herein shall commence from the date of the issuance
of the order which enjoins such activity.

IV.     Options.

        4.1 Terms and Conditions. Subject to Section 3.2 and 3.3, the Committee
may, in its sole discretion, from time to time grant Options to any officer,
employee, Director or Consultant of the Corporation or any Subsidiary selected
by the Committee pursuant to Section 3.1. The grant of an Option to a
Participant shall be evidenced by a written Option Agreement in substantially
the form approved by the Committee. Such Option shall be subject to the
following express terms and conditions and to such other terms and conditions,
not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee may determine to
be appropriate.

        (a) Shares Covered. The Committee shall, in its discretion, determine the
number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by the Options granted to any
Participant.

        (b) Exercise Period. The term of each Option shall be for such period as
the Committee shall determine, but for not more than ten years from the Date of
Grant thereof. The Committee shall also have the discretion to determine when
each Option granted hereunder shall become exercisable, and to prescribe any
vesting schedule limiting the exercisability of such Options as it may deem
appropriate.

        (c) Option Price. The Option Price payable for the shares of Common Stock
covered by any Option shall be determined by the Committee, but shall in no
event be less than the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

        (d) Exercise of Options. A Participant may exercise his or her Options from
time to time by written notice to the Corporation of his or her intent to exercise
the Options with respect to a specified number of shares. The specified
number of shares will be issued and transferred to the Participant upon receipt
by the Corporation of (i) such notice and (ii) payment in full for such shares,
and (iii) receipt of any payments required to satisfy the Corporation's tax
withholding obligations pursuant to Section 8.3.

                                       3

        (e) Payment of Option Price Upon Exercise. Each Option Agreement shall
provide that the Option Price for the shares with respect to which an Option is
exercised may be paid to the Corporation at the time of exercise, in the form of
(i) cash, (ii) delivery to the Corporation of whole shares of Common Stock
already owned by the Participant, valued at their Fair Market Value on the day
immediately preceding the date of exercise, (iii) at the discretion of the
Committee, a promissory note secured by a pledge of the shares of Common Stock,
or (iv) a combination of any of the above equal to the Option Price for the
shares.

        (f) Cashless Exercises. Alternatively, the Corporation may permit the
Participant to exercise an Option by delivery of a signed, irrevocable notice of
exercise, accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price by the Participant's
stockbroker and an irrevocable instruction to the Corporation to deliver the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option promptly to the Participant's
stockbroker for the Participant's account, provided that at the time of such exercise,
such exercise would not be illegal under the federal securities laws, including laws
governing margin loans.

        4.2 Effect of Termination.

        (a) If a Participant ends his employment or other relationship with the
Corporation (or with the relevant Subsidiary) for any reason other than
retirement, disability or death, his or her Options (including vested Options)
shall terminate immediately upon the date of the termination, unless the
Committee decides in its sole discretion to waive this termination and amends
the Participant's Option Agreement to provide for an extended exercise period.

        (b) Any Option Agreement may, in the Committee's sole discretion, include
such provisions as the Committee deems advisable with respect to an individual
Participant's right to exercise the Option subsequent to retirement, or
subsequent to termination of such employment (or other relationship) by reason
of total and permanent disability; provided, that, in no event shall any Option
be exercisable after the fixed termination date set forth in the Participant's
Option Agreement.

        (c) Any Option Agreement may, in the Committee's sole discretion, provide
that, in the event of the Participant's death while he or she has the right to
exercise his or her Options, the Options may be exercised (to the extent they
had become exercisable prior to the time of the Participant's death), during
such period of up to one year after date of the Participant's death as the
Committee deems to be appropriate, by the personal representative of the
Participant's estate, or by the person or persons to whom the Options shall have
been transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

        4.3 Incentive Stock Options. The Options granted under this Plan may be
either Incentive Stock Options or options not intended to constitute incentive
stock options qualifying under Code Section 422; provided that, Incentive Stock
Options may only be granted to individuals who are common employees of the
Corporation or its Subsidiaries; and further provided, any Incentive Stock
Option shall be subject to the additional requirements stated in Article V of
this Plan.

                                       4

        4.4 Authority to Waive Restrictions on Exercisability. The Committee may,
in its sole discretion, determine at any time that all or any portion of the
Options granted to a Participant under the Plan shall, notwithstanding any
restrictions on exercisability imposed pursuant to Section 4.1(b), become
immediately exercisable in full. The Committee may make such further adjustments
to the terms of such Options as it may deem necessary or appropriate in
connection therewith.

        4.5 Non-Assignability. Options granted under this Plan shall generally not
be assignable or transferable by the Participant, except by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution, or as described in the next paragraph.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, permit
an individual Participant to transfer all or a portion of his or her Options to
members of his or her immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of members of
his immediate family, or to family partnerships in which immediate family
members are the only partners, provided that the Participant may receive no
consideration for such transfers, and that such Options shall still be subject
to termination in accordance with Section 4.2 above in the hands of the
transferee. The Committee may also, in its discretion, permit a Consultant to
transfer all or a portion of the Options granted by reason of services he or she
performs for the Corporation as an employee or partner of a consulting firm to
his or her consulting firm, provided that such Options shall still be subject to
termination in accordance with Section 4.2 above in the hands of the transferee,
or permit a Consultant which is organized as a partnership or limited liability
company to transfer the Options to its members, subject to termination in
accordance with Section 4.2 if the Consultant ends its relationship with the
Corporation.

        4.6 Covenants Not to Compete. The Committee may, in its discretion,
condition any Option granted to an Employee, Consultant or Director on such
Participant's agreement to enter into such covenant not to compete with the
Corporation as the Committee may deem to be desirable. Such covenant not to
compete shall be set forth in the Participant's Stock Option Agreement, and the
Stock Option Agreement shall provide that the Option shall be forfeited
immediately, whether otherwise vested or not, if the Board of Directors
determines that the Participant has violated his or her covenant not to compete.
In addition, in the Committee's discretion, the Participant's Stock Option
Agreement may also provide that if the Participant breaches his or her covenant
not to compete, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase any shares of
Common Stock previously issued to the Participant pursuant to an exercise of the
Option, at a repurchase price equal to the Option Price paid by the Participant.

V.      Incentive Stock Options.

        The Committee may, in its discretion, specify that any Options granted to
a Participant who is an individual employed by the Corporation or a Subsidiary as
a common law employee shall be ISOs qualifying under Code Section 422.

        5.1 Each Stock Option Agreement which provides for the grant of ISOs shall
expressly state that such Options are intended to qualify as ISOs. Each provision

                                       5

of the Plan and of each Stock Option Agreement relating to an Option designated
as an ISO shall be construed so that such Option qualifies as an ISO, and any provision
that cannot be so construed shall be disregarded.

        5.2 Any Options granted under this Plan which are designated as ISOs shall
comply with the following additional requirements:

        (a) The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time an ISO is
granted) of the shares of Common Stock (together with all other stock of the
Corporation and all stock of any Parent or Subsidiary) with respect to which the
ISOs may first become exercisable by an individual Participant during any
calendar year, under all stock option plans of the Corporation (or any Parent or
Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent this limitation would
otherwise be exceeded, the Option shall be deemed to consist of an ISO for the
maximum number of shares which may be covered by ISOs pursuant to the preceding
sentence, and a nonstatutory option for the remaining shares subject to the
Option.

        (b) The Option Price payable upon the exercise of an ISO shall not be less
than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

        (c) In the case of an ISO granted to a Participant who is a ten percent
shareholder of the Corporation, the period of the Option shall not exceed five
years from the Date of Grant, and the Option Price shall not be less than 110
percent of the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

        (d) No ISO granted under this Plan shall be assignable or transferable by
the Participant, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
During the life of the Participant, any ISO shall be exercisable only by the
Participant.

VI.     Change in Control Transactions.

        6.1 Change in Control. For purposes of this Plan, a "Change in Control"

of the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock, or the equivalent in voting power
of any classes or classes of securities of the Corporation entitled to vote in
elections of directors, by any corporation, or other person or group (within the
meaning of Section 14(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended);

        (b) Any merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another
corporation in which the Corporation is not the surviving entity, or any
transfer or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or any
merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another corporation in
which the Corporation is the surviving entity and, in connection with such
merger or consolidation, all or part of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be changed into or exchanged for other stock or securities of the
Corporation or any other person, or cash, or any other property.

                                       6

        (c) Any election of persons to the Board of Directors which causes a
majority of the Board of Directors to consist of persons other than (i) persons
who were members of the Board of Directors on January 29, 2001, and (ii) persons
who were nominated for election as members of the Board by the Board of
Directors (or by a Committee of the Board) at a time when the majority of the
Board (or of such Committee) consisted of persons who were members of the Board
of Directors on January 29, 2001; provided, that any person nominated for
election by the Board of Directors composed entirely of persons described in (i)
or (ii), or of persons who were themselves nominated by such Board, shall for
this purpose be deemed to have been nominated by a Board composed of persons
described in (i).

        (d) Any person, or group of persons, announces a tender offer for at least
thirty percent of the Corporation's Common Stock.

        6.2 Effect of Change in Control. In the event of a pending or threatened
Change in Control, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, take any one or
more of the following actions with respect to all Participants:

                (i) Accelerate the exercise dates of any outstanding Options, and make all
        outstanding Options fully vested and exercisable;

                (ii) Pay cash to any or all Option holders in exchange for the cancellation
        of their outstanding Options;

                (iii) Make any other adjustments or amendments to the Plan and/or
        substitute new Options or other awards for outstanding Options.

        7.1 Number of Shares of Common Stock.

Options under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued shares of Common
Stock or of Common Stock held by the Corporation as treasury stock.

        (b) The number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under this
Plan shall not exceed 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to such
adjustments as may be made pursuant to Section 7.2.

        (c) For purposes of Section 7.1(b), upon the exercise of an Option, the
number of shares of Common Stock available for future issuance under the Plan
shall be reduced by the number of shares actually issued to the Participant,
exclusive of any shares surrendered to the Corporation as payment of the Option
price.

        (d) Any shares of Common Stock subject to an Option which for any reason
is canceled, terminates unexercised or expires shall again be available for issuance
under the Plan.

                                       7

        7.2 Adjustments of Stock. In the event of any change or changes in the
outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation by reason of any stock dividend,
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination
or any similar transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be
issued under this Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Options
theretofore granted under this Plan, the Option Price of such Options shall be
adjusted in such manner as the Board of Directors deems appropriate to prevent
substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to a Participant.

VIII.   Miscellaneous.

        8.1 Substitutions. New option rights may be substituted for the Options
granted under the Plan, or the Corporation's duties as to Options outstanding
under the Plan may be assumed by a Subsidiary, by another corporation or by a
parent or subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 425 of the Code) of such
other corporation, in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition,
separation, reorganization, liquidation or like occurrence in which the
Corporation is involved. In the event of such substitution or assumption, the
term Common Stock shall thereafter include the stock of the corporation granting
such new option rights or assuming the Corporation's duties as to such Options.

        8.2 General Restriction. Any Option award granted under this Plan shall be
subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine
that any registration of the shares of Common Stock, or any consent or approval
of any governmental body, or any other agreement or consent, is necessary as a
condition of the granting of an Option, or the issuance of Common Stock in
satisfaction thereof, such Common Stock will not be issued or delivered until
such requirement is satisfied in a manner acceptable to the Committee.

        8.3 Withholding Taxes.

        (a) If the Corporation determines that it has any tax withholding
obligation with respect to a Participant, the Corporation shall have the right
to require that Participant to remit to the Corporation an amount sufficient to
satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the
delivery of any shares of Common Stock under the Plan.

        (b) The Corporation shall have the right to withhold from payments made in
cash to a Participant under the terms of the Plan, an amount sufficient to
satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements imposed with
respect to such cash payments.

        (c) Amounts to which the Corporation is entitled pursuant to Section 8.3(a)
or (b), may be paid, at the election of the Participant and with the approval of
the Committee, either (i) in cash, (ii) withheld from any compensation payable
to the Participant by the Corporation, including cash payments made under this
Plan, or (iii) in shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant
upon exercise of an Option, that have a Fair Market Value on the date on which
the amount of tax to be withheld is determined (the "Tax Date") not less than

                                       8

the minimum amount of tax the Corporation is required to withhold. A
Participant's election to have shares of Common Stock withheld that are
otherwise issuable shall be in writing, shall be irrevocable upon approval by
the Committee, and shall be delivered to the Corporation prior to the Tax Date
with respect to the exercise of an Option.

        8.4 Investment Representation. If the Committee determines that a written
representation is necessary in order to secure an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, the Committee may demand that the Participant
deliver to the Corporation at the time of any exercise of any Option, any
written representation that Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate
for such purpose, including but not limited to a representation that the shares
to be issued are to be acquired for investment and not for resale or with a view
to the distribution thereof. If the Committee makes such a demand, delivery of a
written representation satisfactory to the Committee shall be a condition
precedent to the right of the Participant to acquire such shares of Common
Stock.

        8.5 Non-Uniform Determinations. The Committee's determinations under this
Plan (including without limitation its determinations of the persons to receive
Options, the form, amount and timing of such awards and the terms and provisions
of such awards) need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among
Participants who receive, or are eligible to receive, awards under this Plan,
whether or not such Participants are similarly situated.

        8.6 No Rights as Shareholders. Participants granted Options under this Plan
shall have no rights as shareholders of the Corporation as applicable with
respect thereto unless and until certificates for shares of Common Stock are
issued to them.

        8.7 Transfer Restrictions. The Committee may determine that any Common
Stock to be issued by the Corporation upon the exercise of Options shall be
subject to such further restrictions upon transfer as the Committee determines
to be appropriate.

IX.     Administration of the Plan.

        9.1 The Plan shall be administered on a day to day basis by the Committee.
The Committee shall be comprised of one or more directors or executive officers
of the Corporation appointed by the Board of Directors and need not be composed
of directors or directors who qualify as "disinterested" within the meaning of
SEC Rule 16b-3. The Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of
Directors.

        9.2 The Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion but subject
to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this Plan, and subject to the overall supervision of
the Board of Directors, from time to time: (i) to grant Options to eligible
employees, Directors and Consultants, as provided for in this Plan; (ii) to
prescribe such limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any such awards as
the Committee shall deem appropriate; or (iii) to determine the periods during
which Options may be exercised and to accelerate the exercisability of
outstanding Options, as it may deem appropriate;

        9.3 The Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, from time
to time, to: (i) modify, cancel, or replace any prior Options or other awards and

                                       9

to amend the relevant Option Agreements with the consent of the affected
Participants, including amending such agreements to amend vesting schedules,
extend exercise periods or increase or decrease the Option Price for Options, as
it may deem to be necessary; and (ii) to interpret the Plan, to adopt, amend and
rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other
determinations and to take all other action necessary or advisable for the
implementation and administration of the Plan. A majority of the Committee shall
constitute a quorum, and the action of a majority of members of the Committee
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously adopted
in writing without the holding of a meeting, shall be the acts of the Committee.

        9.4 All actions taken by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon any eligible Participant. Neither the Committee nor any members of
the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or decision made in good
faith relating to the Plan or any award thereunder.

X.      Amendment and Termination.

        10.1 Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Board of Directors may at
any time terminate this Plan or any part thereof and may from time to time amend
this Plan as it may deem advisable. The termination or amendment of this Plan
shall not, without the consent of the Participant, affect any Participant's
rights under an award previously granted.

        10.2 Term of Plan. Unless previously terminated pursuant to Section 10.1,
the Plan shall terminate on January 29, 2011, the tenth anniversary of the date
on which the Plan became effective, and no Options may be granted on or after
such date.
