DURING THE PERIOD OF GRANTEE'S STATUS AS VICE PRESIDENT, OPERATIONS (NOT THROUGH
THE ACT OF BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER). THE GRANTEE

GLOWPOINT, INC.

                        RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
                        --------------------------------

1. Issuance of Shares. Glowpoint, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
hereby issues to the Grantee (the "Grantee") named in the Notice of Restricted
Stock Award (the "Notice"), the Total Number of Shares of Common Stock Awarded
set forth in the Notice (the "Shares"), subject to the Notice and this
Restricted Stock Award Agreement (this "Agreement"). All Shares issued hereunder
will be deemed issued to the Grantee as fully paid and nonassessable shares, and
the Grantee will have the right to vote the Shares at meetings of the Company's
stockholders. The Company shall pay any applicable stock transfer taxes imposed
upon the issuance of the Shares to the Grantee hereunder. Defined terms used in
this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the same meanings given in the
Notice.

2. Consideration. The Shares have been issued to the Grantee in consideration
for his service to the Company as Vice President, Operations, which
consideration has a value of $____ per share, the closing price of the Company's
Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on the Date of Award. The Grantee
agrees to pay upon receipt of the Notice the par value of $.0001 for each Share
issued in the total amount of $5.50.

3. Transfer Restrictions. The Shares issued to the Grantee hereunder may not be
sold, transferred by gift, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred or
disposed of by the Grantee prior to the date when the Shares become vested
pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice. Any attempt to
transfer Restricted Shares in violation of this Section 3 will be null and void
and will be disregarded.

4. Escrow of Stock. For purposes of facilitating the enforcement of the
provisions of this Agreement, the Grantee agrees, immediately upon receipt of
the certificate(s) for the Restricted Shares, to deliver such certificate(s),
together with an Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A, executed in blank by the Grantee and the Grantee's spouse
(if required for transfer) with respect to each such stock certificate, to the
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company, or their designee, to hold in
escrow for so long as such Restricted Shares have not vested pursuant to the
Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice, with the authority to take all such
actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases as may be necessary
or appropriate to accomplish the objectives of this Agreement in accordance with
the terms hereof. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that the appointment of the
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company (or their designee) as the
escrow holder hereunder with the stated authorities is a material inducement to
the Company to make this Agreement and that such appointment is coupled with an
interest and is accordingly irrevocable. The Grantee agrees that such escrow
holder shall not be liable to any party hereto (or to any other party) for any
actions or omissions unless such escrow holder is grossly negligent or engages
in willful misconduct relative thereto. The escrow holder may rely upon any
letter, notice or other document executed by any signature purported to be
genuine and may resign at any time. Upon the vesting of Restricted Shares, the
escrow holder will, without further order or instruction, transmit to the

                                       4
<PAGE>

Grantee the certificate evidencing such Shares, subject, however, to
satisfaction of any withholding obligations provided in Section 6 below.

5. Distributions. The Company shall disburse to the Grantee all regular cash
dividends with respect to the Shares and Additional Securities (whether vested
or not), less any applicable withholding obligations.

6. Section 83(b) Election and Withholding of Taxes. The Grantee shall provide
the Administrator with a copy of any timely election made pursuant to Section
83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code or similar provision of state law
(collectively, an "83(b) Election"), a form of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit B. If the Grantee makes a timely 83(b) Election, the Grantee shall
immediately pay the Company the amount necessary to satisfy any applicable
foreign, federal, state, and local income and employment tax withholding
obligations. If the Grantee does not make a timely 83(b) Election, the Grantee
shall, as Restricted Shares shall vest or at the time withholding is otherwise
required by any applicable law, pay the Company the amount necessary to satisfy
any applicable foreign, federal, state, and local income and employment tax
withholding obligations. The Grantee hereby represents that he understands (a)
the contents and requirements of the 83(b) Election, (b) the application of
Section 83(b) to the receipt of the Shares by the Grantee pursuant to this
Agreement, (c) the nature of the election to be made by the Grantee under
Section 83(b), and (d) the effect and requirements of the 83(b) Election under
relevant state and local tax laws. The Grantee further represents that if he
intends to file an election pursuant to Section 83(b) with the Internal Revenue
Service within thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement, he will
submit a copy of such election to the Company and with his federal tax return
for the calendar year in which the date of this Agreement falls.

7. Additional Securities. Any securities or cash received (other than a regular
cash dividend) as the result of ownership of the Restricted Shares (the
"Additional Securities"), including, but not by way of limitation, warrants,
options and securities received as a stock dividend or stock split, or as a
result of a recapitalization or reorganization or other similar change in the
Company's capital structure, shall be retained in escrow in the same manner and
subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Restricted Shares with
respect to which they were issued, including, without limitation, the Vesting
Schedule set forth in the Notice. The Grantee shall be entitled to direct the
Company to exercise any warrant or option received as Additional Securities upon
supplying the funds necessary to do so, in which event the securities so
purchased shall constitute Additional Securities, but the Grantee may not direct
the Company to sell any such warrant or option. If Additional Securities consist
of a convertible security, the Grantee may exercise any conversion right, and
any securities so acquired shall constitute Additional Securities. In the event
of any change in certificates evidencing the Shares or the Additional Securities
by reason of any recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction that
results in the creation of Additional Securities, the escrow holder is
authorized to deliver to the issuer the certificates evidencing the Shares or
the Additional Securities in exchange for the certificates of the replacement
securities.

8. Stop-Transfer Notices. In order to ensure compliance with the restrictions on
transfer set forth in this Agreement or the Notice, the Company may issue
appropriate "stop transfer" instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and, if
the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to
the same effect in its own records.

                                       5
<PAGE>

9. Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its
books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of
any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares
or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other
transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

10. Restrictive Legends. Grantee understands and agrees that the Company shall
cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto,
to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together
with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or
federal securities laws:

          "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE "SECURITIES")
          HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
          (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE
          SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE
          SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR
          GLOWPOINT, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT
          REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
          PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED."

11. Lock-Up Agreement.

     (a) Agreement. Grantee, if requested by the Company and the lead
underwriter of any public offering of the Common Stock or other securities of
the Company (the "Lead Underwriter"), hereby irrevocably agrees not to sell,
contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, transfer the economic risk of
ownership in, make any short sale of, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of
any interest in any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for or any other rights to purchase or acquire
Common Stock (except Common Stock included in such public offering or acquired
on the public market after such offering) during the 180-day period following
the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such shorter period of time as the Lead
Underwriter shall specify. Grantee further agrees to sign such documents as may
be requested by the Lead Underwriter to effect the foregoing and agrees that the
Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Common Stock
subject until the end of such period. The Company and Grantee acknowledge that
each Lead Underwriter of a public offering of the Company's stock, during the
period of such offering and for the 180-day period thereafter, is an intended
beneficiary of this Section 11.

     (b) No Amendment Without Consent of Underwriter. During the period from
identification as a Lead Underwriter in connection with any public offering of
the Company's Common Stock until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the
lock-up period specified in Section 11(a) in connection with such offering or
(ii) the abandonment of such offering by the

                                       6
<PAGE>

Company and the Lead Underwriter, the provisions of this Section 11 may not be
amended or waived except with the consent of the Lead Underwriter.

12. Registration of the Shares. If at any time the Company proposes to file a
registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an underwritten
offering of Common Stock (except on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor forms
thereto), for its own account, then the Company shall give written notice of
such proposed filing to the Grantee at least 15 days in advance of the
anticipated filing date (the "Piggyback Notice"). The Piggyback Notice shall
offer the Grantee the opportunity to register such amount of Shares as each such
holder may request (a "Piggyback Registration"), subject in all events to the
agreement of the underwriter or underwriters of the offering contemplated by
such registration statement that such Shares can be included in such
registration statement without adversely affecting such offering. Any reduction
in the number of securities to be so offered shall be (i) first, pro-rata among
all security holders who are exercising "piggyback" registration rights, based
on the number of registrable securities originally proposed to be sold by each
of them, and (ii) second, pro-rata among all security holders who are exercising
"demand" registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement with
the Company, based on the number of registrable securities originally proposed
to be sold by each of them.

13. Grantee's Representations. In the event the Shares issuable pursuant to this
Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
at the time of initial issuance to the Grantee, the Grantee shall, if required
by the Company, concurrently with the receipt of the Shares, deliver to the
Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C.

14. Entire Agreement: Governing Law. The Notice and this Agreement constitute
the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the
Company and the Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not
be modified adversely to the Grantee's interest except by means of a writing
signed by the Company and the Grantee. These agreements are to be construed in
accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York
without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application
of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of New
York to the rights and duties of the parties. Should any provision of the Notice
or this Agreement be determined by a court of law to be illegal or
unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and
shall remain enforceable.

15. Headings. The captions used in this Agreement are inserted for convenience
and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement for construction or
interpretation.

16. Dispute Resolution. The provisions of this Section 16 shall be the exclusive
means of resolving disputes arising out of or relating to the Notice and this
Agreement. The Company, the Grantee, and the Grantee's assignees (the "parties")
shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disputes arising out of or relating
to the Notice and this Agreement by negotiation between individuals who have
authority to settle the controversy. Negotiations shall be commenced by either
party by notice of a written statement of the party's position and the name and
title of the individual who will represent the party. Within thirty (30) days of
the written notification, the

                                       7
<PAGE>

parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as
often as they reasonably deem necessary, to resolve the dispute. If the dispute
has not been resolved by negotiation, the parties agree that any suit, action,
or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notice or this Agreement shall
be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or
proceeding, in a New York state court in the County of New York) and that the
parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The parties irrevocably
waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection the party may have
to the laying of venue for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such
court. THE PARTIES ALSO EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY HAVE OR MAY HAVE TO A
JURY TRIAL OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. If any one or more provisions
of this Section 16 shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is
the specific intent of the parties that such provisions shall be modified to the
minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable.

17. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or upon
deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (if the parties are within
the United States) or upon deposit for delivery by an internationally recognized
express mail courier service (for international delivery of notice), with
postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address as shown
beneath its signature in the Notice, or to such other address as such party may
designate in writing from time to time to the other party.

2.2(b) of the Employment Agreement, in the event of any Corporate Transaction,

                       INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
                       -----------------------------------

GRANTEE        :      JOSEPH LAEZZA

COMPANY        :      GLOWPOINT, INC.

SECURITY       :      COMMON STOCK

AMOUNT         :

DATE           :

In connection with the receipt of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned
Grantee represents to the Company the following:

     Grantee is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition
and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed
and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Grantee is acquiring these
Securities for investment for Grantee's own account only and not with a view to,
or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

     The Grantee is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of
Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as presently in effect.

     Grantee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute
"restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been registered
under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which
exemption depends upon among other things, the bona fide nature of Grantee's
investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Grantee understands
that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis
for such exemption may be unavailable if Grantee's representation was predicated
solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital
gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an
increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of
one year or any other fixed period in the future. Grantee further understands
that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. Grantee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is
under no obligation to register the Securities. Grantee understands that the
certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which
prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such
registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company.

                                       1

     Grantee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each
promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public
resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the
issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the
time of the sale of the Shares to the Grantee, the sale will be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject
to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market
stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be
resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by
Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an
unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market
maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and,
in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information
about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three
month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the
timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

     In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time
of sale of the Securities, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited
circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale
to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were
sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the
Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the
Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the
Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

     Grantee further understands that in the event all of the applicable
requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the
Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration
exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144
and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement
securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to
Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an
exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such
persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so
at their own risk. Grantee understands that no assurances can be given that any
such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

     Grantee represents that he is a resident of the state of _________________.

THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE SHARES SHALL VEST, IF AT ALL, ONLY
DURING THE PERIOD OF GRANTEE'S STATUS AS VICE PRESIDENT, MARKETING (NOT THROUGH
THE ACT OF BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER). THE GRANTEE
FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NOTHING IN THIS NOTICE OR THE AGREEMENT
SHALL CONFER UPON THE GRANTEE ANY RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO CONTINUATION OF

                        RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
                        --------------------------------

1. Issuance of Shares. Glowpoint, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
hereby issues to the Grantee (the "Grantee") named in the Notice of Restricted
Stock Award (the "Notice"), the Total Number of Shares of Common Stock Awarded
set forth in the Notice (the "Shares"), subject to the Notice and this
Restricted Stock Award Agreement (this "Agreement"). All Shares issued hereunder
will be deemed issued to the Grantee as fully paid and nonassessable shares, and
the Grantee will have the right to vote the Shares at meetings of the Company's
stockholders. The Company shall pay any applicable stock transfer taxes imposed
upon the issuance of the Shares to the Grantee hereunder. Defined terms used in
this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the same meanings given in the
Notice.

2. Consideration. The Shares have been issued to the Grantee in consideration
for his service to the Company as Vice President, Marketing, which consideration
has a value of $____ per share, the closing price of the Company's Common Stock
on the Nasdaq National Market on the Date of Award. The Grantee agrees to pay
upon receipt of the Notice the par value of $.0001 for each Share issued in the
total amount of $5.50.

3. Transfer Restrictions. The Shares issued to the Grantee hereunder may not be
sold, transferred by gift, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred or
disposed of by the Grantee prior to the date when the Shares become vested
pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice. Any attempt to
transfer Restricted Shares in violation of this Section 3 will be null and void
and will be disregarded.

4. Escrow of Stock. For purposes of facilitating the enforcement of the
provisions of this Agreement, the Grantee agrees, immediately upon receipt of
the certificate(s) for the Restricted Shares, to deliver such certificate(s),
together with an Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A, executed in blank by the Grantee and the Grantee's spouse
(if required for transfer) with respect to each such stock certificate, to the
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company, or their designee, to hold in
escrow for so long as such Restricted Shares have not vested pursuant to the
Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice, with the authority to take all such
actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases as may be necessary
or appropriate to accomplish the objectives of this Agreement in accordance with
the terms hereof. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that the appointment of the
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company (or their designee) as the
escrow holder hereunder with the stated authorities is a material inducement to
the Company to make this Agreement and that such appointment is coupled with an
interest and is accordingly irrevocable. The Grantee agrees that such escrow
holder shall not be liable to any party hereto (or to any other party) for any
actions or omissions unless such escrow holder is grossly negligent or engages
in willful misconduct relative thereto. The escrow holder may rely upon any
letter, notice or other document executed by any signature purported to be
genuine and may resign at any time. Upon the vesting of Restricted Shares, the
escrow holder will, without further order or instruction, transmit to the

                                       4
<PAGE>

Grantee the certificate evidencing such Shares, subject, however, to
satisfaction of any withholding obligations provided in Section 6 below.

5. Distributions. The Company shall disburse to the Grantee all regular cash
dividends with respect to the Shares and Additional Securities (whether vested
or not), less any applicable withholding obligations.

6. Section 83(b) Election and Withholding of Taxes. The Grantee shall provide
the Administrator with a copy of any timely election made pursuant to Section
83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code or similar provision of state law
(collectively, an "83(b) Election"), a form of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit B. If the Grantee makes a timely 83(b) Election, the Grantee shall
immediately pay the Company the amount necessary to satisfy any applicable
foreign, federal, state, and local income and employment tax withholding
obligations. If the Grantee does not make a timely 83(b) Election, the Grantee
shall, as Restricted Shares shall vest or at the time withholding is otherwise
required by any applicable law, pay the Company the amount necessary to satisfy
any applicable foreign, federal, state, and local income and employment tax
withholding obligations. The Grantee hereby represents that he understands (a)
the contents and requirements of the 83(b) Election, (b) the application of
Section 83(b) to the receipt of the Shares by the Grantee pursuant to this
Agreement, (c) the nature of the election to be made by the Grantee under
Section 83(b), and (d) the effect and requirements of the 83(b) Election under
relevant state and local tax laws. The Grantee further represents that if he
intends to file an election pursuant to Section 83(b) with the Internal Revenue
Service within thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement, he will
submit a copy of such election to the Company and with his federal tax return
for the calendar year in which the date of this Agreement falls.

7. Additional Securities. Any securities or cash received (other than a regular
cash dividend) as the result of ownership of the Restricted Shares (the
"Additional Securities"), including, but not by way of limitation, warrants,
options and securities received as a stock dividend or stock split, or as a
result of a recapitalization or reorganization or other similar change in the
Company's capital structure, shall be retained in escrow in the same manner and
subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Restricted Shares with
respect to which they were issued, including, without limitation, the Vesting
Schedule set forth in the Notice. The Grantee shall be entitled to direct the
Company to exercise any warrant or option received as Additional Securities upon
supplying the funds necessary to do so, in which event the securities so
purchased shall constitute Additional Securities, but the Grantee may not direct
the Company to sell any such warrant or option. If Additional Securities consist
of a convertible security, the Grantee may exercise any conversion right, and
any securities so acquired shall constitute Additional Securities. In the event
of any change in certificates evidencing the Shares or the Additional Securities
by reason of any recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction that
results in the creation of Additional Securities, the escrow holder is
authorized to deliver to the issuer the certificates evidencing the Shares or
the Additional Securities in exchange for the certificates of the replacement
securities.

8. Stop-Transfer Notices. In order to ensure compliance with the restrictions on
transfer set forth in this Agreement or the Notice, the Company may issue
appropriate "stop transfer" instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and, if
the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to
the same effect in its own records.

                                       5
<PAGE>

9. Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its
books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of
any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares
or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other
transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

10. Restrictive Legends. Grantee understands and agrees that the Company shall
cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto,
to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together
with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or
federal securities laws:

               "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE
               "SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
               OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE
               SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
               DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER
               APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR GLOWPOINT, INC. SHALL HAVE
               RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH
               SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF
               APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED."

11. Lock-Up Agreement.

     (a) Agreement. Grantee, if requested by the Company and the lead
underwriter of any public offering of the Common Stock or other securities of
the Company (the "Lead Underwriter"), hereby irrevocably agrees not to sell,
contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, transfer the economic risk of
ownership in, make any short sale of, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of
any interest in any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for or any other rights to purchase or acquire
Common Stock (except Common Stock included in such public offering or acquired
on the public market after such offering) during the 180-day period following
the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such shorter period of time as the Lead
Underwriter shall specify. Grantee further agrees to sign such documents as may
be requested by the Lead Underwriter to effect the foregoing and agrees that the
Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Common Stock
subject until the end of such period. The Company and Grantee acknowledge that
each Lead Underwriter of a public offering of the Company's stock, during the
period of such offering and for the 180-day period thereafter, is an intended
beneficiary of this Section 11.

     (b) No Amendment Without Consent of Underwriter. During the period from
identification as a Lead Underwriter in connection with any public offering of
the Company's Common Stock until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the
lock-up period specified in Section 11(a) in connection with such offering or
(ii) the abandonment of such offering by the

                                       6
<PAGE>

Company and the Lead Underwriter, the provisions of this Section 11 may not be
amended or waived except with the consent of the Lead Underwriter.

12. Registration of the Shares. If at any time the Company proposes to file a
registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an underwritten
offering of Common Stock (except on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor forms
thereto), for its own account, then the Company shall give written notice of
such proposed filing to the Grantee at least 15 days in advance of the
anticipated filing date (the "Piggyback Notice"). The Piggyback Notice shall
offer the Grantee the opportunity to register such amount of Shares as each such
holder may request (a "Piggyback Registration"), subject in all events to the
agreement of the underwriter or underwriters of the offering contemplated by
such registration statement that such Shares can be included in such
registration statement without adversely affecting such offering. Any reduction
in the number of securities to be so offered shall be (i) first, pro-rata among
all security holders who are exercising "piggyback" registration rights, based
on the number of registrable securities originally proposed to be sold by each
of them, and (ii) second, pro-rata among all security holders who are exercising
"demand" registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement with
the Company, based on the number of registrable securities originally proposed
to be sold by each of them.

13. Grantee's Representations. In the event the Shares issuable pursuant to this
Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
at the time of initial issuance to the Grantee, the Grantee shall, if required
by the Company, concurrently with the receipt of the Shares, deliver to the
Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C.

14. Entire Agreement: Governing Law. The Notice and this Agreement constitute
the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the
Company and the Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not
be modified adversely to the Grantee's interest except by means of a writing
signed by the Company and the Grantee. These agreements are to be construed in
accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York
without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application
of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of New
York to the rights and duties of the parties. Should any provision of the Notice
or this Agreement be determined by a court of law to be illegal or
unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and
shall remain enforceable.

15. Headings. The captions used in this Agreement are inserted for convenience
and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement for construction or
interpretation.

16. Dispute Resolution. The provisions of this Section 16 shall be the exclusive
means of resolving disputes arising out of or relating to the Notice and this
Agreement. The Company, the Grantee, and the Grantee's assignees (the "parties")
shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disputes arising out of or relating
to the Notice and this Agreement by negotiation between individuals who have
authority to settle the controversy. Negotiations shall be commenced by either
party by notice of a written statement of the party's position and the name and
title of the individual who will represent the party. Within thirty (30) days of
the written notification, the

                                       7
<PAGE>

parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as
often as they reasonably deem necessary, to resolve the dispute. If the dispute
has not been resolved by negotiation, the parties agree that any suit, action,
or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notice or this Agreement shall
be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or
proceeding, in a New York state court in the County of New York) and that the
parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The parties irrevocably
waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection the party may have
to the laying of venue for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such
court. THE PARTIES ALSO EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY HAVE OR MAY HAVE TO A
JURY TRIAL OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. If any one or more provisions
of this Section 16 shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is
the specific intent of the parties that such provisions shall be modified to the
minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable.

17. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or upon
deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (if the parties are within
the United States) or upon deposit for delivery by an internationally recognized
express mail courier service (for international delivery of notice), with
postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address as shown
beneath its signature in the Notice, or to such other address as such party may
designate in writing from time to time to the other party.

18. Corporate Transactions/Changes in Control

     (a) Acceleration of Award Upon Corporate Transaction. Subject to Section
2.2(b) of the Employment Agreement, in the event of any Corporate Transaction,
the Award shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable and be
released from any restrictions on transfer and forfeiture rights, immediately
prior to the specified effective date of such Corporate Transaction, for all of
the Shares at the time represented by the Award.

     (b) Acceleration of Award Upon Change in Control. Subject to Section 2.2(b)
of the Employment Agreement, following a Change in Control, the Award shall
automatically become fully vested and exercisable and be released from any
restrictions on transfer and repurchase or forfeiture rights, immediately upon
the consummation of such Change in Control.

     (a) "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have the respective meanings ascribed
to such terms in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

     (b) "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company.

                       INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
                       -----------------------------------

GRANTEE        :     STUART GOLD

COMPANY        :     GLOWPOINT, INC.

SECURITY       :     COMMON STOCK

AMOUNT         :     _________________

DATE           :     _________________

In connection with the receipt of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned
Grantee represents to the Company the following:

     Grantee is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition
and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed
and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Grantee is acquiring these
Securities for investment for Grantee's own account only and not with a view to,
or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

     The Grantee is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of
Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as presently in effect.

     Grantee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute
"restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been registered
under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which
exemption depends upon among other things, the bona fide nature of Grantee's
investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Grantee understands
that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis
for such exemption may be unavailable if Grantee's representation was predicated
solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital
gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an
increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of
one year or any other fixed period in the future. Grantee further understands
that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. Grantee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is
under no obligation to register the Securities. Grantee understands that the
certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which
prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such
registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company.

                                       1

     Grantee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each
promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public
resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the
issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the
time of the sale of the Shares to the Grantee, the sale will be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject
to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market
stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be
resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by
Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an
unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market
maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and,
in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information
about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three
month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the
timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

     In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time
of sale of the Securities, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited
circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale
to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were
sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the
Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the
Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the
Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

     Grantee further understands that in the event all of the applicable
requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the
Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration
exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144
and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement
securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to
Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an
exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such
persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so
at their own risk. Grantee understands that no assurances can be given that any
such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

     Grantee represents that he is a resident of the state of _________________.
