                           INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of this ___ day
of _______________, [____] by and between GenVec, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and [_______________] ("Indemnitee").

     WHEREAS, 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;

     WHEREAS, 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;

     WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee desire to have in place the
additional protection provided by an indemnification agreement, to provide
indemnification and advancement of expenses to the Indemnitee to the maximum
extent permitted by Delaware law;

     WHEREAS, 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.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agrees 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, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a
director or officer of the Corporation 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) 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, or not opposed to, 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, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the

<PAGE>

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, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Company, and its stockholders, except that no indemnification shall be made
in respect of any claim, issue or matters 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 stockholders unless and only to the extent that
the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or
proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

     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 (b) hereof (but not amounts actually paid in settlement of
any such action or proceeding, which shall be governed by Section 1(a)).
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 identified by the Company as authorized hereby. The advances
to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee within twenty
(20) days following delivery of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to
the Company.

          (b) NOTICE/COOPERATION BY INDEMNITEE. Indemnitee shall, as a
condition precedent to his 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, PROVIDED HOWEVER, that a delay in giving such notice shall
not deprive Indemnitee of any right to be indemnified under this Agreement
unless, and then only to the extent that, such delay is materially
prejudicial to the defense of such claim. Notice to the Company shall be
directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address shown
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 when such notice shall actually be

                                     -2-

<PAGE>

received 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 forty-five (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 Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws
providing for indemnification, is not paid in full by the Company within
forty-five (45) days after a written request for payment thereof has first
been received by the Company, Indemnitee may, but need not, 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 providing 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 judgement 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 stockholders) 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 stockholders) 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) hereof, the Company has director and
officer 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 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 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

                                    -3-

<PAGE>

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 at the expense of 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 Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or 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 Delaware 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 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 Delaware
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 Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any
agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, 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 him 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 ACKNOWLEDGMENT.  Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge
that 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.  DIRECTOR'S AND OFFICER'S 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

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

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. 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 7. 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 indemnified under
applicable law.

         (b)  CLAIMS INITIATED BY INDEMNITEE. To indemnify or advance
expenses to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or
brought voluntarily by Indemnitee 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 145 of the Delaware 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

                                       -5-
<PAGE>

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 inuring to and recoverable by the Company
pursuant to 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 Delaware General Corporation
Law, such provisions shall not be effective unless and until the Company's
Certificate 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 constitutent 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 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 of 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.

                                     -6-

     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 the 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 and receipted for by the party addressee, on the date of
such receipt, or (ii) if mailed by domestic certified or registered mail with
postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date postmarked.
Addresses for notice to either party are as shown on the signature page of
this Agreement, or as subsequently modified by written notice.

     15.  CONSENT OF JURISDICTION.  The Company and Indemnitee each hereby
irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
Delaware 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 commenced, prosecuted and continued
only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle
County, which shall be exclusive and only proper forum for adjudicating such
a claim.

     16.  CHOICE OF LAW.   This Agreement shall be governed by and its
provisions construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware as
applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be
performed entirely within Delaware.

     17.  INTEGRATION AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement sets forth the
entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all
previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and
agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto.

     18.  NO CONSTRUCTION AS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT.  Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to be retained in
the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities.

the Plan shall be referred to as the "Committee."

                         (ii)       MULTIPLE ADMINISTRATIVE BODIES.  The Plan
may be administered by different Committees with respect to different persons.

                  (b) POWERS OF THE COMMITTEE. Subject to the provisions of the
Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated
by the Board to such Committee, the Committee shall have the authority, in its
discretion:

                          (i)       to determine the Fair Market Value;

                         (ii)       to select the persons to whom Options and
Awards may be granted hereunder;

                        (iii)       to determine the number of Shares to be
covered by each Option and Award;

                         (iv)       to approve forms of agreement for use under
the Plan;

                          (v)       to determine the terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Option or Award granted
hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the
exercise price, the time or times when Options or Awards may be exercised (which
may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of
forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option
or Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as
the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

                         (vi) to reduce the exercise price of any Option or
Award to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock covered by such Option or Award shall have declined since the date
the Option or Award was granted;

                        (vii)       to institute an option exchange program;

                       (viii)       to construe and interpret the terms of the
Plan and awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

                         (ix)       to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to
sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment
under foreign tax laws;

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

                          (x) to modify or amend each Option or Award (subject
to Section 15(c) of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend
the post-termination exercisability period of Options longer than is otherwise
provided for in the Plan;

                         (xi)       to allow Grantees to satisfy withholding tax
obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option or Award that number of Shares having a Fair
Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value
of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of
tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by a Grantee to have
Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such
conditions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable;

                        (xii)       to authorize any person to execute on behalf
of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option or Award
previously granted by the Committee;

                       (xiii)       to make all other determinations deemed
necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

                  (c) EXCULPATION. No member of the Board of Directors shall be
personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken or any failure to
take any action in connection with the administration of the Plan or the
granting of Options or Awards under the Plan, provided that this Section 3(c)
shall not apply to (i) any breach of such member's duty of loyalty to the
Company or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or
involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) acts or
omissions that would result in liability under Section 174 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended, and (iv) any transaction
from which the member derived an improper personal benefit.

                  (d) INDEMNIFICATION. Service on the Committee shall constitute
service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Each member of the
Committee shall be entitled without further act on his or her part to indemnity
from the Company to the fullest extent provided by applicable law and the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation and/or By-laws in connection with or
arising out of any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the administration
of the Plan or the granting of Options and Awards thereunder in which he or she
may be involved by reason of his or her being or having been a member of the
Committee, whether or not he or she continues to be a member of the Committee at
the time of the action, suit or proceeding.

         4. OPTIONS AND AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN. Options under the Plan may be in
the form of Non-qualified Stock Options, ISOs, or a combination thereof, at the
discretion of the Committee. Awards under the Plan shall be in the form of
Restricted Stock.

         5.       ELIGIBILITY

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

                  (a) IN GENERAL. All key employees, members of the Board of
Directors, consultants and advisors of the Company or an Affiliate shall be
eligible to receive Options and Awards hereunder.

                  (b) LIMITATIONS. The following limitations shall apply to
grants of Options:

                           (i)  No Optionee shall be granted, in any fiscal
year of the Company, Options to purchase more than 553,865 Shares.

                           (ii) In connection with his or her initial service,
an Optionee may be granted Options to purchase up to an additional 553,865
Shares which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (i)
above.

                           (iii) The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted
proportionately in connection with any change in the Company's capitalization as
described in Section 11.

         6. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN. The aggregate maximum number of shares for
which Awards or Options may be granted pursuant to the Plan is 1,846,218 Shares,
plus an increase to be added each year on the date of the annual stockholders'
meeting equal to the number of Shares required to return the maximum aggregate
number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Plan to 1,846,218, or such
lesser number as the Board of Directors may determine. The Shares shall be
issued from authorized and unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in or
hereafter acquired for the treasury of the Company. If an Option terminates or
expires without having been fully exercised for any reason, or if Shares granted
pursuant to an Award are forfeited for any reason, such Shares may again be the
subject of one or more Options or Awards granted pursuant to the Plan.

         7. TERM OF THE PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption
by the Board of Directors. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10)
years, unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors.

         8. OPTION DOCUMENTS AND TERMS. Each Option granted under the Plan shall
be a Non-qualified Stock Option, unless the Option shall be specifically
designated at the time of grant to be an ISO for federal income tax purposes. To
the extent any Option designated an ISO is determined for any reason not to
qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Code, such Option shall be treated as a Non-qualified Stock Option for all
purposes under the provisions of the Plan. Options granted pursuant to the Plan
shall be evidenced by the Option Documents in such form as the Committee shall
from time to time approve, which Option Documents shall comply with and be
subject to the following terms and conditions and such other terms and
conditions as the Committee shall from time to time require which are not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

                  (a) NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES. Each Option Document shall state
the number of Shares to which it pertains. An Optionee may receive more than one
Option, which may include

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

Options which are intended to be ISO's and Options which are not intended to be
ISO's, but only on the terms and subject to the conditions and restrictions of
the Plan.

                  (b) OPTION PRICE. Each Option Document shall state the Option
Price which, for a Non-qualified Stock Option, may be less than, equal to, or
greater than the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is
granted and, for an ISO, shall be at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date the Option is granted as determined by the Committee in
accordance with this Section 8(b); provided, however, that if an ISO is granted
to an Optionee who then owns, directly or by attribution under Section 424(d) of
the Code, shares possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, then the Option
Price shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
the Option is granted. If the Common Stock is listed on any established stock
exchange or a national market system, including without limitation the Nasdaq
National Market or The Nasdaq SmallCap Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market, its
Fair Market Value shall be the closing sales price for such stock (or the
closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange or system for
the last market trading day prior to the time of determination, as reported in
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL or such other source as the Committee deems reliable. If
the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but
selling prices are not reported, its Fair Market Value shall be the mean between
the high bid and low asked prices for the Common Stock on the last market
trading day prior to the day of determination. In the absence of an established
market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value thereof shall be determined
in good faith by the Committee.

                  (c) EXERCISE. No Option shall be deemed to have been exercised
prior to the receipt by the Company of written notice of such exercise and of
payment in full of the Option Price for the Shares to be purchased. Each such
notice shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased and shall (unless the
Shares are covered by a then current registration statement or a Notification
under Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act")),
contain the Optionee's acknowledgment in form and substance satisfactory to the
Company that (a) such Shares are being purchased for investment and not for
distribution or resale (other than a distribution or resale which, in the
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, may be made without violating
the registration provisions of the Act), (b) the Optionee has been advised and
understands that (i) the Shares have not been registered under the Act and are
"restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act and are
subject to restrictions on transfer and (ii) the Company is under no obligation
to register the Shares under the Act or to take any action which would make
available to the Optionee any exemption from such registration, (c) such Shares
may not be transferred without compliance with all applicable federal and state
securities laws, and (d) an appropriate legend referring to the foregoing
restrictions on transfer and any other restrictions imposed under the Option
Documents or as may be endorsed on the certificates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Company determines that issuance of Shares should be delayed
pending (A) registration under federal or state securities laws, (B) the receipt
of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that an appropriate
exemption from such registration is available, (C) the listing or inclusion of
the Shares on any securities exchange or an automated quotation system or (D)
the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body whose consent or
approval is necessary in connection with the

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

issuance of such Shares, the Company may defer exercise of any Option granted
hereunder until any of the events described in this sentence has occurred.

                  (d) MEDIUM OF PAYMENT. An Optionee shall pay for Shares (i) in
cash, (ii) by certified or cashier's check payable to the order of the Company,
or (iii) by such other mode of payment as the Committee may approve, including
payment through a broker in accordance with procedures permitted by Regulation T
of the Federal Reserve Board. Furthermore, the Committee may provide in an
Option Document that payment may be made in whole or in part in shares of the
Company's Common Stock held by the Optionee for at least six (6) months on the
date of surrender. If payment is made in whole or in part in shares of Common
Stock, then the Optionee shall deliver to the Company certificates registered in
the name of such Optionee representing the shares owned by such Optionee, free
of all liens, claims and encumbrances of every kind and having an aggregate Fair
Market Value on the date of delivery that is at least as great as the Option
Price of the Shares (or relevant portion thereof) with respect to which such
Option is to be exercised by the payment in shares of Common Stock, endorsed in
blank or accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank by the Optionee. In
the event that certificates for shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company
represent a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the number of shares
of Common Stock required to make payment for the Option Price of the Shares (or
relevant portion thereof) with respect to which such Option is to be exercised
by payment in shares of Common Stock, the stock certificate issued to the
Optionee shall represent (i) the Shares in respect of which payment is made, and
(ii) such excess number of shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Committee may impose from time to time such limitations and
prohibitions on the use of shares of Common Stock to exercise an Option as it
deems appropriate.

                  (e)      TERMINATION OF OPTIONS.

                          (i)       No Option shall be exercisable after the
first to occur of the following:

                                    (A)     Expiration of the Option term
specified in the Option Document, which, in the case of an ISO, shall not occur
after (1) ten years from the date of grant, or (2) five years from the date of
grant of an ISO if the Optionee on the date of grant owns, directly or by
attribution under Section 424(d) of the Code, shares possessing more than ten
percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or of an Affiliate;

                                    (B) Expiration of three months from the date
the Optionee's employment or service with the Company or its Affiliates
terminates for any reason other than Disability or death or as otherwise
specified in Section 8(e)(i)(D) or 8(e)(i)(E) below;

                                    (C) Expiration of one year from the date
such employment or service with the Company or its Affiliates terminates due to
the Optionee's Disability or death;

                                    (D) A finding by the Committee, after full
consideration of the facts presented on behalf of both the Company and the
Optionee, that the Optionee has breached his or her employment or service
contract with the Company or an Affiliate, or has been engaged in

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

disloyalty to the Company or an Affiliate, including, without limitation, fraud,
embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony or proven dishonesty in the course
of his or her employment or service, or has disclosed trade secrets or
confidential information of the Company or an Affiliate. In such event, in
addition to immediate termination of the Option, the Optionee shall
automatically forfeit all Shares for which the Company has not yet delivered the
share certificates upon refund by the Company of the Option Price.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold
delivery of share certificates pending the resolution of any inquiry that could
lead to a finding resulting in a forfeiture;

                                    (E) The date, if any, set by the Board of
Directors as an accelerated expiration date in the event of the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company; or

                                    (F) The occurrence of such other event or
events as may be set forth in the Option Document as causing an accelerated
expiration of the Option.

                         (ii) The terms of an executive severance agreement or
other agreement between the Company and an Optionee, approved by the Committee,
whether entered into prior or subsequent to the grant of an Option, which
provide for Option exercise dates later than those set forth in Section 8(a)(i)
shall be deemed to be Option terms approved by the Committee and consented to by
the Optionee.

                  (f) TRANSFERS. No Option granted under the Plan may be
transferred, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During
the lifetime of the person to whom an Option is granted, such Option may be
exercised only by such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-qualified
Stock Option may be transferred pursuant to the terms of a "qualified domestic
relations order," within the meaning of Sections 401(a)(13) and 414(p) of the
Code or within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended, or pursuant to a transfer approved in writing by the
Committee, in which event the Option may be exercised by the transferee.

                  (g) LIMITATION ON ISO GRANTS. In no event shall the aggregate
Fair Market Value of the Shares (determined at the time the ISO is granted) with
respect to which incentive stock options under all incentive stock option plans
of the Company and its Affiliates are exercisable for the first time by the
Optionee during any calendar year exceed $100,000.

                  (h) OTHER PROVISIONS. Subject to the provisions of the Plan,
the Option Documents shall contain such other provisions including, without
limitation, provisions authorizing the Committee to accelerate the
exercisability of all or any portion of an Option granted pursuant to the Plan,
additional restrictions upon the exercise of the Option or additional
limitations upon the term of the Option, as the Committee shall deem advisable.

                  (i) AMENDMENT. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee shall have the right to amend Option Documents issued to an Optionee,
subject to the Optionee's consent if

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

such amendment is not favorable to the Optionee, except that the consent of the
Optionee shall not be required for any amendment made pursuant to Section
8(e)(i)(E) or Section 10 of the Plan, as applicable.

         9.       [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

         10. CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event of a Change of Control, the
Committee may take whatever action it deems necessary or desirable with respect
to the Options and Awards outstanding, including, without limitation,
accelerating the expiration or termination date in the respective Option
Documents to a date no earlier than thirty (30) days after notice of such
acceleration is given to the Optionees. In addition to the foregoing, in the
event of a Change of Control, Options granted pursuant to the Plan and held by
Optionees who are employees, advisors, or consultants of the Company or members
of the Board of Directors at the time of a Change of Control shall become
immediately exercisable in full and the restrictions applicable to Restricted
Stock awarded to Awardees who are employees, advisors, or consultants of the
Company or members of the Board of Directors at the time of a Change of Control
shall immediately lapse and the Restricted Stock held by the Company shall be
delivered to the Grantees.

                  A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred upon
the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) the date the stockholders of
the Company (or the Board of Directors, if stockholder action is not required)
approve a plan or other arrangement pursuant to which the Company will be
dissolved or liquidated, or (ii) the date the stockholders of the Company (or
the Board of Directors, if stockholder action is not required) approve a
definitive agreement to sell or otherwise dispose of substantially all of the
assets of the Company, or (iii) the date the stockholders of the Company (or the
Board of Directors, if stockholder action is not required) and the stockholders
of the other constituent corporation (or its board of directors if stockholder
action is not required) have approved a definitive agreement to merge or
consolidate the Company with or into such other corporation, other than, in
either case, a merger or consolidation of the Company in which holders of shares
of the Company's Common Stock immediately prior to the merger or consolidation
will have at least a majority of the ownership of common stock of the surviving
corporation (and, if one class of common stock is not the only class of voting
securities entitled to vote on the election of directors of the surviving
corporation, a majority of the voting power of the surviving corporation's
voting securities) immediately after the merger or consolidation, which common
stock (and, if applicable, voting securities) is to be held in the same
proportion as such holders' ownership of Common Stock of the Company immediately
before the merger or consolidation, or (iv) the date any entity, person or
group, within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or
maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any person who does not
conduct any active trade or business shall have become the beneficial owner of,
or shall have obtained voting control over, more than fifty percent (50%) of the
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, or (v) the date that fewer
than a majority of the Board of Directors are Incumbent Directors. "Incumbent
Directors" shall mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as
of the effective date of this Plan, or (B) are elected, or

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

nominated for election to the Board of Directors with the affirmative votes of
at least a majority of those directors whose election or nomination was not in
connection with any transaction described in subsections (i) to (iv) or in
connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election
of directors of the Company.

         11.      ADJUSTMENTS ON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.

                  (a) In the event that the outstanding Shares are changed by
reason of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split-up, combination or exchange of shares and the like
(not including the issuance of Common Stock on the conversion of other
securities of the Company which are outstanding on the date of grant and which
are convertible into Common Stock) or dividends payable in Shares, an equitable
adjustment shall be made by the Committee in the aggregate number of shares
available under the Plan and in the number of Shares and price per Share subject
to outstanding Options. Unless the Committee makes other provisions for the
equitable settlement of outstanding options, if the Company shall be
reorganized, consolidated, or merged with another corporation, or if all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company shall be sold or exchanged, an
Optionee shall at the time of issuance of the stock under such corporate event
be entitled to receive upon the exercise of his or her Option the same number
and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities
as he or she would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of any such
corporate event as if he or she had been, immediately prior to such event, the
holder of the number of shares covered by his or her Option.

                  (b) Any adjustment under this Section 11 in the number of
Shares subject to Options shall apply proportionately to only the unexercised
portion of any Option granted hereunder. If fractions of a Share would result
from any such adjustment, the adjustment shall be revised to the next lower
whole number of shares.

                  (c) The Committee shall have authority to determine the
adjustments to be made under this Section, and any such determination by the
Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.

         12. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS. Awards granted pursuant to the Plan
shall be evidenced by written Award Agreements in such form as the Committee
shall from time to time approve, which Award Agreements shall comply with and be
subject to the following terms and conditions and such other terms and
conditions as the Committee shall from time to time require which are not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, shorten or waive any term or condition with respect to all or any
portion of any Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all restrictions shall
lapse or terminate with respect to Restricted Stock upon the death or Disability
of the Awardee.

                  (a) NUMBER OF SHARES. Each Award Agreement shall state the
number of Shares to which it pertains.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

                  (b) PURCHASE PRICE. Each Award Agreement shall specify the
purchase price, if any, which applies to the Award. If the Board specifies a
purchase price, the Awardee shall be required to make payment on or before the
date specified in the Award Agreement. An Awardee shall pay for such Shares (i)
in cash, (ii) by certified check payable to the order of the Company, or (iii)
by such other mode of payment as the Committee may approve.

                  (c) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND FORFEITURES. A stock
certificate representing the Restricted Stock granted to an Awardee shall be
registered in the Awardee's name but shall be held in escrow by the Company's
Treasurer, together with an undated stock power executed by the Awardee with
respect to each stock certificate representing Restricted Stock registered in
such Awardee's name. The Awardee shall generally have the rights and privileges
of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock including the right to vote such
Restricted Stock and to receive and retain all cash dividends with respect to
them, except that the following restrictions shall apply: (i) the employee shall
not be entitled to delivery of the certificate until the expiration or
termination of any period designated by the Committee ("Restricted Period") and
the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Committee; and (ii)
all distributions with respect to the Restricted Stock other than cash
dividends, such as stock dividends, stock splits or distributions of property,
and any distributions (other than cash dividends) subsequently made with respect
to other distributions, shall be delivered to the Treasurer of the Company,
together with appropriate stock powers or other instruments of transfer signed
and delivered to the Treasurer by the Grantee, to be held by the Treasurer and
released to either the Grantee or the Company, as the case may be, together with
the Shares to which they relate; (iii) the Grantee will have no right to sell,
exchange, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of the
Restricted Stock or distributions (other than cash dividends) with respect
thereto; and (iv) all of the Restricted Stock shall be forfeited and all rights
of the Awardee with respect to such Restricted Stock shall terminate without
further obligation on the part of the Company unless the Awardee has remained an
employee or in service to the Company, any of its affiliates or any combination
thereof until the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period and the
satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Committee applicable to
such Restricted Stock. Upon the forfeiture of any Restricted Stock, such
forfeited shares shall be transferred to the Company without further action by
the Awardee.

                  (d) LAPSE OF RESTRICTIONS. Upon the expiration or termination
of the Restricted Period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed
by the Committee as provided for in the Plan, the restrictions applicable to the
Restricted Stock shall lapse and a stock certificate for the number of Shares
with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered, free of
all such restrictions, except any that may be imposed by law or pursuant to any
shareholders agreement then in effect, to the Awardee or the beneficiary or
estate, as the case may be. The Company shall not be required to deliver any
fractional share of Common Stock but will pay, in lieu thereof, the fair market
value (determined as of the date the restrictions lapse) of such fractional
share to the Awardee or the Awardee's beneficiary or estate, as the case may be.
The Award may provide for the lapse of restrictions on transfer and forfeiture
conditions in installments.

                  (e) SECTION 83(b) ELECTIONS. An Awardee who files an election
with the Internal Revenue Service to include the fair market value of any
Restricted Stock in gross income while they are still subject to restrictions
shall promptly furnish the Company with a copy of such election together with
the amount of any federal, state, local or other taxes required to be withheld
to enable the Company to claim an income tax deduction with respect to such
election.

                  (f) Upon a finding by the Committee, after full consideration
of the facts presented on behalf of both the Company and the Awardee, that the
Awardee has breached his or her employment or service contract with the Company
or an Affiliate, or has been engaged in disloyalty to the Company or an
Affiliate, including, without limitation, fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission
of a felony or proven dishonesty in the course of his or her employment or
service, or has disclosed trade secrets or confidential information of the
Company or an Affiliate, Awardee shall automatically forfeit all Restricted
Stock for which (i) the Company has not yet delivered the Share certificates to
the Awardee; (ii) the Restricted Period has not expired or (iii) any
restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock have not lapsed. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold delivery of Restricted
Stock certificates pending the resolution of any inquiry that could lead to a
finding resulting in a forfeiture.

                  (g) AMENDMENT. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee shall have the right to amend Awards issued to an Awardee, subject to
the Awardee's consent if such amendment is not favorable to the Awardee, except
that the consent of the Awardee shall not be required for any amendment made
pursuant to Section 10 of the Plan.

         13. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

                  (a) AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board of Directors may at
any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

                  (b) SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. The Board of Directors shall obtain
shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable
to comply with applicable laws.

                  (c) EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. No amendment,
alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any
Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the
Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and
the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's
ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options
granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

         14. NO COMMITMENT TO RETAIN. The grant of an Option or Award pursuant
to the Plan shall not be construed to imply or to constitute evidence of any
agreement, express or implied, on the part of the Company or any Affiliate to
retain the Grantee in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate and/or as a
member of the Company's Board of Directors or in any other capacity.

         15. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. Whenever the Company proposes or is required
to deliver or transfer Shares in connection with the exercise of an Option or
Award, the Company shall have the right to (a) require the recipient to remit or
otherwise make available to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any
federal, state and/or local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery
or transfer of any certificate or certificates for such Shares or (b) take
whatever other action it may deem necessary to protect its interests with
respect to tax liabilities. The Company's obligation to make any delivery or
transfer of Shares shall be conditioned on the Grantee's compliance, to the
Company's satisfaction, with any withholding requirement.
