COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Directors, options to purchase  5,000 shares of Common Stock are granted to such
director  pursuant  to Medjet  Inc.'s  1994 Stock  Option  Plan,  as amended and
restated (the "Stock Option Plan").  The number of shares subject to the options
is pro-rated  if the outside  director is elected to the Board of Directors at a
time other than the annual  meeting of the Company's  stockholders.  Immediately
after each annual meeting of the Company's  stockholders,  each outside director
serving on the Board of Directors is entitled to receive options pursuant to the
Stock Option Plan to purchase  5,000 shares of the Company's  Common Stock,  par
value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"). The exercise price of all options is
granted  to  directors  equal to the fair  market  value per share of the Common
Stock on such date of grant. The options vest, PROVIDED,  that such director has
served through such date, upon the earlier of one year from the date of grant or
the day  immediately  preceding the  subsequent  annual meeting of the Company's
stockholders.  Outside directors are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket  expenses
incurred in  connection  with  attendance  of  meetings  of the Board.  In 1997,
Messrs.  Adwers,  Bialek,  Donovan and  Hillsberg  received  options to purchase

     Effective as of March 15,  1996,  the Company  entered  into an  employment

invention and non-competition provisions which prohibit disclosure of any of the

to compensate it for the loss, through death or disability, of Dr. Gordon.

     Effective as of March 18,  1996,  the Company  entered  into an  employment
agreement  with  Thomas  M.  Handschiegel  as Vice  President-Finance  and Human
Resources  and  Secretary,  for an indefinite  term.  The  agreement,  which was

non-competition  provisions  which  prohibit  disclosure of any of the Company's
proprietary  information and preclude Mr.  Handschiegel's  competition  with the
Company for a period of two years after  termination of his employment  with the
Company.

1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN

     In 1994,  the Board of  Directors  adopted and the  Company's  stockholders
approved the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan was  subsequently  amended
and restated in 1997.

     PARTICIPATION.  Under the Stock Option Plan,  options to purchase shares of
Common  Stock  of the  Company  may be  granted  only  to  employees  (including
officers) and directors of the Company or individuals who are rendering services
to the Company as consultants, advisors or other independent contractors.

     SHARES  AVAILABLE  FOR AWARDS.  The total  number of shares of Common Stock
(either authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares) for which options may
be granted  pursuant to the Stock Option Plan is 449,688,  subject to adjustment
for stock splits, stock dividends,  recapitalizations and similar events. In the
event that any  outstanding  option for any reason  expires or is  terminated or
canceled  and/or shares of Common Stock subject to repurchase are repurchased by
the Company,  the shares allocable to the unexercised  portion of such option or
repurchased shares, may again be subject to an option grant.

     AWARDS.  The Stock Option Plan authorizes grants of incentive stock options
("ISOs"),  as defined in Section 422 of the Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended (the "Code"), and non-statutory  (nonqualified) stock options. Under the
Stock Option Plan, all options must be granted,  if at all, within 10 years from
the date the Stock  Option  Plan was  adopted by the Board of  Directors  of the
Company. The Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors, which administers
the Stock Option Plan, shall set,  including by amendment of an option, the time
or times within which each option  shall be  exercisable  or the event or events
upon  the  occurrence  of  which  all or a  portion  of  each  option  shall  be
exercisable and the term of each option;  provided,  however, that (i) no option
shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years after the date such option
is granted and (ii) no ISO granted to an optionee  who at the time the option is
granted owns stock  possessing  more than 10% of the total combined voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company  within the meaning of Section  422(b)(6)
of the Code (a "Ten Percent  Owner  Optionee")  shall be  exercisable  after the
expiration  of five years after the date such option is granted.  As of the date
here, non-statutory stock options to purchase a total of 44,550 shares of Common
Stock have been  granted  and are  outstanding  and ISOs to  purchase a total of
24,475 shares of Common Stock have been granted and are outstanding. Pursuant to
agreements made between the Company and the underwriter of the Company's initial


                                       -4-

<PAGE>



public  offering,  the Company has agreed not to issue  options to purchase more
than 225,000 shares of Common Stock during a two year period  expiring August 6,
1998 without such underwriter's  prior written consent.  The Company has further
agreed that during such period it would not issue  options to purchase more than
50,000 shares of Common Stock having an exercise price less than the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.  Additionally,  the Company also
agreed that any options  granted  during such period  would vest no earlier than
one year from the date of grant.  The Stock  Option Plan  provides  that (i) the
exercise  price per  share  for an ISO  shall  not be less than the fair  market
value, as determined by the Stock Option  Committee,  of a share of Common Stock
on the  date of the  grant;  and  (ii) no ISO  granted  to a Ten  Percent  Owner
Optionee  shall  have an  exercise  price per  share  less than 110% of the fair
market value, as determined by the Stock Option Committee,  of a share of Common
Stock on the date of the grant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an option may be
granted with an exercise  price lower than the minimum  exercise price set forth
above if such option is granted  pursuant to an assumption or  substitution  for
another option in a manner qualifying within the provisions of Section 424(a) of
the Code.
