                                                            Identix Incorporated

                           INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     This Indemnification Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of
________ __, 199_ by and between Identix Incorporated, a California corporation
(the "Company"), and __________________ ("Indemnitee").

                                  BACKGROUND

     A.  The Company and Indemnitee recognize the increasing difficulty in
obtaining directors' and officers' liability insurance, the significant
increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the
coverage of such insurance.

     B.  The Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase
in corporate litigation in general, subjecting officers and directors to
expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of
liability insurance has been severely limited.

     C.  Indemnitee does not regard the current protection available as adequate
under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee and other officers and directors
of the Company may not be willing to continue to serve as officers and directors
without additional protection.

     D.  The Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly
qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve as officers and directors of
the Company and to indemnify its officers and directors so as to provide them
with the maximum protection permitted by law.

     E.  The Bylaws of the Company provide for the indemnification of directors,
officers, employees and other agents of the Company in certain circumstances.
This Agreement shall, with respect to Indemnitee, supersede the indemnification
provisions of the Company's Bylaws to the extent they are inconsistent with the
terms set forth in this Agreement.

                                   AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

     1.   Indemnification.
          ---------------

          (a) Third Party Proceedings.  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee
              -----------------------
if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
Company) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of
any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer or director or
by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director,
<PAGE>

officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved
in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld)
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action or
proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action or proceeding
by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that (i) Indemnitee
did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed
to be in the best interests of the Company, or (ii) with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that
Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful.

          (b) Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall
              ---------------------------------------------
indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding by or in
the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, by
reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer or
director or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, amounts paid in settlement, in each case to the extent actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner
Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and
its shareholders, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the Company in the performance of Indemnitee's duty to the Company and
its shareholders unless and only to the extent that the court in which such
action or proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that, in
view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for expenses and then only to the extent that the court
shall determine.

     2.   Expenses; Indemnification Procedure.
          -----------------------------------

          (a) Advancement of Expenses.  The Company shall advance all expenses
              -----------------------
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement
or appeal of any civil or criminal action or proceeding referenced in Section
1(a) or 1(b) of this Agreement (but not amounts actually paid in settlement of
any such action or proceeding).  Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such
amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be
determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as
authorized hereby.  The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the
Company to Indemnitee within 20 days after delivery of a written request
therefor by Indemnitee to the Company.

          (b) Notice and Cooperation by Indemnitee.  Indemnitee shall, as a

condition

                                       2
<PAGE>

precedent to his or her right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the
Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against
Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this
Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company at the address set forth on the signature page of this
Agreement (or such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to
Indemnitee). Notice shall be deemed received three business days after the date
postmarked if sent by domestic certified or registered mail, properly addressed;
otherwise notice shall be deemed received upon actual receipt by the Company. In
addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as
it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.

          (c) Procedure.  Any indemnification provided for in Section 1 shall be
              ---------
made no later than 45 days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee.
If a claim under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of
the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws providing for indemnification
is not paid in full by the Company within 45 days after a written request for
payment thereof has been received by the Company, Indemnitee may, at any time
thereafter, bring an action against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of
the claim and, subject to Section 13 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall also be
entitled to be paid for the expenses (including attorneys' fees) of bringing
such action.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action
brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any action
or proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that Indemnitee has not met
the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the
Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed, but the burden of
proving such defense shall be on the Company, and Indemnitee shall be entitled
to receive interim payments of expenses pursuant to Subsection 2(a) unless and
until such defense may be finally adjudicated by court order or judgment from
which no further right of appeal exists.  It is the parties' intention that if
the Company contests Indemnitee's right to indemnification, the question of
Indemnitee's right to indemnification shall be for the court to decide, and
neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, any
committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or
its shareholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of
Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the
applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual
determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or
subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
shareholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct,
shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable
standard of conduct.

          (d) Notice to Insurers.  If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of
              ------------------
a claim pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement, the Company has directors'
and officers' liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt
notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with
the procedures set forth in the respective policies.  The Company shall
thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay,
on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding
in accordance with the terms of such policies.

          (e) Selection of Counsel.  In the event the Company shall be obligated
              --------------------
under Section 2(a) hereof to pay the expenses of any proceeding against
Indemnitee, the Company, if

                                       3
<PAGE>

appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with
counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so
to do. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and
the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by
Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ his counsel in any such proceeding at
Indemnitee's expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee
has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the
Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (C) the Company
shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such
proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee's counsel shall be borne by
the Company.

     3.  Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity.
         -------------------------------------------------

         (a) Scope.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
             -----
Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent
permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically
authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or by statute.  In the event of any change
after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which
expands the right of a California corporation to indemnify a member of its board
of directors or an officer, such changes shall be, ipso facto, within the
purview of Indemnitee's rights and the Company's obligations under this
Agreement.  In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule
which narrows the right of a California corporation to indemnify a member of its
board of directors or an officer, such changes, to the extent not otherwise
required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement shall have
no effect on this Agreement or the parties' rights and obligations hereunder.

         (b) Nonexclusivity.  The indemnification provided by this Agreement
             --------------
shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled
under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any agreement, any
vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, the California General
Corporation Law, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee's official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.  The
indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee
for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified capacity even
though he may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the time of any action or
other covered proceeding.

     4.  Partial Indemnification.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision
         -----------------------
of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the
expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually or reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any civil or
criminal action or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof,
the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such
expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled.

     5.  Mutual Acknowledgement.  Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge
         ----------------------
that

                                       4
<PAGE>

in certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the
Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or
otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has
undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in
certain circumstances for a determination of the Company's right under public
policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

     6.  Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance.  The Company shall, from
         --------------------------------------------
time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable
for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with
reputable insurance companies providing the officers and directors of the
Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company's
performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement.  Among
other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such
insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage.  In all
policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be
named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights
and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company's
directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company's officers, if
Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer; or of the
Company's key employees, if Indemnitee is not an officer or director but is a
key employee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no
obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company determines in
good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs
for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if
the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to
provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar
insurance maintained by a subsidiary or parent of the Company.

     7.  Severability.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or
         ------------
shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in
violation of applicable law.  The Company's inability, pursuant to court order,
to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of
this Agreement.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided
in this Section.  If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated
on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable
portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance
of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

     8.  Exceptions.  Any other provision herein to the contrary
         ----------
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement:

         (a) Excluded Acts.  To indemnify Indemnitee for any acts or omissions
             -------------
or transactions from which a director may not be relieved of liability under the
California General Corporation Law; or

         (b) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee.  To indemnify or advance expenses
             ------------------------------
to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought
voluntarily by Indemnitee

                                       5
<PAGE>

and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings brought to
establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any
other statute or law or otherwise as required, under Section 317 of the
California General Corporation Law, but such indemnification or advancement of
expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of
Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such suit; or

          (c) Lack of Good Faith.  To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses
              ------------------
incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by
Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the
Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous; or

          (d) Insured Claims.  To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or
              --------------
liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments,
fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which
have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of
directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the Company; or

          (e) Claims Under Section 16(b).  To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses
              --------------------------
and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of
securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or any similar successor statute.

     9.   Effectiveness of Agreement.  To the extent that the indemnification
          --------------------------
permitted under the terms of certain provisions of this Agreement exceeds the
scope of the indemnification provided for in the California General Corporation
Law, such provisions shall not be effective unless and until the Company's
Articles of Incorporation authorize such additional rights of indemnification.
In all other respects, the balance of this Agreement shall be effective as of
the date set forth on the first page and may apply to acts or omissions of
Indemnitee which occurred prior to such date if Indemnitee was an officer,
director, employee or other agent of the Company, or was serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, at the time such act or
omission occurred.

     10.  Construction of Certain Phrases.
          -------------------------------

          (a) For purposes of this Agreement, references to the "Company" shall
include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation
(including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or
merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and
authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that if
Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same
position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with

                                       6
<PAGE>

respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

          (b) For purposes of this Agreement, references to "other enterprises"
shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any
excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan;
and references to "serving at the request of the Company" shall include any
service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent
with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries.

     11.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more
          ------------
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

     12.  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the
          ----------------------
Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
Indemnitee and Indemnitee's estate, heirs, legal representatives and assigns.

     13.  Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any action is instituted by
          ---------------
Indemnitee under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action,
unless as a part of such action, the court of competent jurisdiction determines
that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such
action were not made in good faith or were frivolous.  In the event of an action
instituted by or in the name of the Company under this Agreement or to enforce
or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
be paid all court costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by
Indemnitee in defense of such action (including with respect to Indemnitee's
counterclaims and cross claims made in such action), unless as a part of such
action the court determines that each of Indemnitee's material defenses to such
action were made in bad faith or were frivolous.

     14.  Notice.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications under
          ------
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if
delivered by hand, on the date of receipt, or (ii) if mailed by domestic
certified or registered mail properly addressed and with postage prepaid, on the
third business day after the date postmarked.  Addresses for notice to either
party are as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, or as
subsequently modified by written notice.

     15.  Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Company and Indemnitee each hereby
          -----------------------
irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California
for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of
or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this
Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of the State of California.

     16.  Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions
          -------------
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California as applied to
contracts between

                                       7
<PAGE>

California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within
California.
