                       Annual Meeting of the Stockholders
                          To be held December 16, 2005

      The board of directors of Immtech International, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Immtech," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company"), hereby solicits
your proxy for use at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders to be held on
December 16, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. (Central) at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare, 9300

annual meeting of stockholders. This proxy statement, notice and proxy card are
first being mailed to stockholders of record as of November 4, 2005 on or about
November 14, 2005.

      If you complete your proxy by mail, telephone or Internet, you appoint
Gary C. Parks as your representative at the annual meeting. Mr. Parks will vote
your shares as you instruct. If you sign and return your proxy, but fail to
instruct how to vote your shares, Mr. Parks will vote your shares in favor of
the slate of directors nominated by the board and "for" the proposals set forth
on the proxy card. This way your shares will be voted whether or not you attend.
We recommend that you vote by proxy in advance of the annual meeting even if you
plan to attend just in case your plans change and you are then unable to attend.

      The board does not know of any matters to be presented at the annual
meeting other than those listed on the Notice and described in this proxy
statement. If a matter comes up for vote that is not covered by your proxy, Mr.
Parks will vote your shares in accordance with his judgment if you have competed
your proxy card and authorized him to do so.

      The board encourages you to attend the annual meeting in person. No matter
what method you use to vote, if you decide to change your vote, you may revoke
your proxy any time before your vote is cast at the annual meeting by (i) giving
written notice of revocation to the Secretary of Immtech, (ii) submitting a
signed proxy bearing a date later than the date of the prior proxy or (iii)
attending the annual meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the annual
meeting will not, in itself, constitute revocation of your proxy.

150, Vernon Hills, Illinois 60061 and our telephone number is (847) 573-0033 or

                      INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Who is entitled to vote?

      The record date for the meeting is November 4, 2005. Only stockholders of
record at the close of business on that date are entitled to vote at the
meeting. For more information, see the description of shares eligible to vote
under the heading "Voter Rights" below.

Am I entitled to vote if my shares are held in "street name"?

      Yes, if a bank or brokerage firm holds your shares in street name for you,
you are considered the "beneficial owner" of the shares. If your shares are held
in street name, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank or
brokerage firm (the "record holder"), along with a voting instruction card. As
the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your record holder how to
vote your shares, and the record holder is required to vote your shares in
accordance with your instructions. If you do not give instructions to your bank
or brokerage firm, it will nevertheless be entitled to vote your shares in its
discretion on "routine matters". For purposes of this annual meeting, the
Company has determined that the election of


                                       2


directors, the authorization to change the Company's name change (Proposal 1),
the authorization of the forward stock split (Proposal 2), and the ratification
of the appointment of the independent auditors (Proposal 4) are routine matters.
However, absent your instructions, the record holder will not be permitted to
vote your shares on non-routine matters, including Proposal 3 (the amendment to
the 2000 Plan) and any other non-routine matter properly brought before the
meeting. In respect of Proposal 3, record holders' votes will be counted for
purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, but will not be considered
"brokers'-non votes" or votes against the Proposal for determining whether a
majority of the votes cast approve the Proposal.

      As the beneficial owner of shares, you are invited to attend the annual
meeting. If you are not a record holder, however, you may not attend the meeting
or vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a proxy, executed
in your favor, from the record holder of your shares. See "Who can attend the
meeting?" below.

How many shares must be present to hold the meeting?

      A quorum must be present at the meeting for any business to be conducted.
The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority
of our outstanding shares (including the number of shares represented by our
outstanding preferred stock on an as-if-converted basis) as of the record date,
will constitute a quorum. Proxies received but marked as abstentions or treated
as broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares
considered to be present at the meeting for quorum purposes.

What if a quorum is not present at the meeting?

      If a quorum is not present or represented at the meeting, the holders of a
majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting who are present in person
or represented by proxy or the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting
until a quorum is present or represented. The time and place of the adjourned
meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken, and no other
notice may be given.

How do I vote?

      1. You may vote by mail. If you are a registered stockholder (that is, if
you hold your stock directly and not in street name), you may vote by mail by
completing, signing and dating the accompanying proxy card and returning it in
the enclosed postage prepaid envelope. Your proxy will then be voted at the
annual meeting in accordance with your instructions.

      2. You may vote by telephone or on the Internet. If you are a registered
stockholder, you may vote by telephone or on the Internet by following the
instructions included on the proxy card. Stockholders with shares registered
directly with Computershare Investor Services, LLC, Immtech's transfer agent,
may vote (i) on the Internet at the following web address:
http://www.computershare.com/us/proxy or (ii) by telephone by dialing
866-731-VOTE (8683) (toll free from the United States and Canada). If you vote
by telephone or on the Internet, you do not have to mail in your proxy card. If
you wish to attend the meeting in person, however, you will need to bring the
admission ticket attached to the proxy card with you. Internet and telephone
voting are available 24 hours a day. Votes submitted through the Internet or by
telephone must be received by 1:00 a.m. (Central Time) on December 16, 2005.


                                       3


      NOTE: If you vote on the Internet, you may elect to have next year's proxy
statement and annual report to stockholders delivered to you via the Internet.
We strongly encourage you to enroll in Internet delivery. It is a cost-effective
way for us to send you proxy materials and annual reports.

      3. If your shares are held in street name. If your shares are held in
street name, your bank or broker may permit you to vote your shares
electronically by telephone or on the Internet. A large number of banks and
brokerage firms participate in programs that offer telephone and Internet voting
options. If your shares are held in an account at a bank or brokerage firm that
participates in such a program, you may vote those shares electronically by
telephone or on the Internet by following the instructions set forth on the
voting form provided to you by your bank or brokerage firm.

      These Internet and telephone voting procedures, which comply with Delaware
law, are designed to authenticate stockholders' identities, allow stockholders
to vote their shares and confirm that stockholders' votes have been recorded
properly. Stockholders voting via either telephone or the Internet should
understand that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as
usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies that must
be borne by the stockholder using such services. Also, please be aware that
Immtech is not involved in the operation of these voting procedures and cannot
take responsibility for any access, Internet or telephone service interruptions
that may occur or any inaccuracies, erroneous or incomplete information that may
appear.

      4. You may vote in person at the meeting. If you are a registered
stockholder and attend the meeting (please remember to bring your admission
ticket or other acceptable evidence of stock ownership as of the record date),
you may deliver your completed proxy card in person. Beneficial owners of shares
held in street name who wish to vote at the meeting will need to obtain a proxy
form from the record holder of their stock.

Who can attend the meeting?

      Only stockholders eligible to vote or their authorized representatives
will be admitted to the meeting. If you plan to attend the meeting, detach and
bring with you the stub portion of your proxy card, which is marked "Admission
Ticket." You must also bring a valid government-issued photo identification,
such as a driver's license or a passport.

      If your shares are held in street name and you wish to attend the meeting
and/or vote in person, you must bring the your broker or bank voter instruction
card and a proxy, executed in your favor, from the record holder of your shares.
In addition, you must bring a valid government-issued photo identification, such
as a driver's license or a passport.

      Security measures will be in place at the meeting and briefcases, handbags
and packages are subject to inspection. No cameras or recording devices of any
kind, or signs, placards, banners or similar materials, may be brought into the
meeting. Anyone who refuses to comply with these requirements will not be
admitted or, if admitted, will be required to leave.


                                       4


Can I change my vote after I submit my proxy?

      Yes, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote any time before your
vote is cast at the meeting:

      o     by signing another proxy with a later date;

      o     by voting by telephone or on the Internet (your latest telephone or
            Internet vote is counted); or

      o     if you are a registered stockholder, by giving written notice of
            such revocation to the Secretary of Immtech prior to or at the
            meeting. Your attendance at the meeting itself will not revoke your
            proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Secretary
            before your proxy is voted or you vote in person at the meeting.

Will my vote be kept confidential?

      Yes, your vote will be kept confidential and not disclosed to Immtech
unless:

      o     required by law;

      o     you expressly request disclosure on your proxy; or

      o     there is a proxy contest.

Who will count the votes?

      Our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, LLC, will tabulate
and certify the votes. A representative of the transfer agent will serve as the
inspector of election.

How does the board of directors recommend that I vote on the proposals?

      Your board recommends that you vote:

      o     FOR the election of the seven nominees to the board of directors;

      o     FOR the authorization of the proposed amendment to the Company's
            certificate of incorporation to change the Company's name to
            "Immtech Pharmaceuticals, Inc." from "Immtech International, Inc.";

      o     FOR the authorization of the proposed amendment to the Company's
            certificate of incorporation to authorize the board of directors to
            effect, on or before December 15, 2007, a forward split of the
            Company's common stock of up to three shares for each one share
            outstanding as of the record date for the stock split;

      o     FOR the adoption of the proposed amendment to the Company's 2000
            Plan to permit the board of directors, or an independent committee
            thereof, to amend the terms of outstanding awards granted under the
            2000 Plan as set forth in the proposed Third Amended and Restated
            2000 Stock Incentive Plan attached hereto as Appendix A; and


                                       5


      o     FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as
            Immtech's independent auditors.

What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?

      If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, your
shares will be voted:

      o     FOR the election of the seven nominees to the board of directors;

      o     FOR Proposal No. 1 - the authorization of the proposed amendment to
            the Company's certificate of incorporation to change the Company's
            name to "Immtech Pharmaceuticals, Inc." from "Immtech International,
            Inc.";

      o     FOR Proposal No. 2 - the authorization of the proposed amendment to
            the Company's certificate of incorporation to authorize the board of
            directors to effect, on or before December 15, 2007, a forward split
            of the Company's common stock of up to three shares for each one
            share outstanding as of the record date for the stock split;

      o     FOR Proposal No. 3 - to approve an amendment to our 2000 Plan to
            permit the board of directors, or an independent committee thereof,
            to amend the terms of outstanding awards granted under the 2000 Plan
            as set forth in the proposed Third Amended and Restated 2000 Stock
            Incentive Plan attached hereto as Appendix A; and

      o     FOR Proposal No. 4 - the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte
            & Touche LLP as Immtech's independent auditors.

Will any other business be conducted at the meeting?

      We do not know of any other business that will be presented at the
meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the stockholders for a vote
at the meeting, however, your proxy holder will vote your shares in accordance
with his best judgment if you so authorize.

How many votes are required to elect the director nominees?

      The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting is
required to elect the seven nominees as directors. This means that the seven
nominees will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other
person. If you vote "Withheld" with respect to one or more nominees, your shares
will not be voted with respect to the person or persons indicated, although they
will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

What happens if a nominee is unable to stand for election?

      If a nominee is unable to stand for election, the board of directors may
either reduce the number of directors to be elected or select a substitute
nominee. If a substitute nominee is selected, the proxy holder will vote your
shares for the substitute nominee, unless you have withheld authority.

How many votes are required to approve amendments to the Company's certificate
of incorporation to (i) change the Company's name to Immtech Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. from Immtech International, Inc. (Proposal 1) or (ii) authorize the board
of directors to effect the proposed stock split (Proposal 2)?

Both of the proposed amendments to the Company's certificate of incorporation
require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares
(including the number of shares represented by our outstanding preferred stock
on an as-if-converted basis) entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, as of the
record date. As of the record date, the Company had outstanding, including
preferred stock on an as-if-converted basis, [_______] shares.

The Company has determined that Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 are "routine" matters
and therefor brokers and banks holding stock for beneficial owners (record
holders) will be entitled to vote shares held for beneficial owners in the event
such beneficial owners fail direct the record holder to do so.

How many votes are required to approve the amendment of the 2000 Plan to permit
the modification of outstanding awards (Proposal 3)?

Adoption of the amendment to the Company's 2000 Plan requires the affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote and present at the meeting, in
person or by proxy. Broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal 3.

How many votes are required to ratify the appointment of Immtech's independent
auditors (Proposal 4)?

      The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Immtech's
independent auditors requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
present at the meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. Brokers and
banks holding stock as record holders may vote if the beneficial owner of the
shares fails to instruct the broker or bank.

How will abstentions be treated?

      Abstentions will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes and
entitled to vote, so they will have the same practical effect as votes against
proposals.

How will broker non-votes be treated?

      Broker non-votes will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes,
but not entitled to vote.

                                  VOTING RIGHTS

      The board has fixed the close of business on November 4, 2005 as the
record date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote
at the annual meeting. Holders of record of our common stock, $0.01 par value,
series A convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value, series B convertible
preferred stock, $0.01 par value, series C convertible preferred stock, $0.01
par value and series D convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value, at the
close of business on the record date will be entitled to vote together as a
single class on all matters that come before the meeting. At the close of
business on the record date, there were [_____] shares of 


                                       7


common stock, [_____] shares of series A stock, [_____] shares of series B
stock, [_____] shares of series C stock, and [_____] shares of series D stock
outstanding. As of the record date, each share of series A stock was convertible
into 5.6561 shares of common stock, each share of series B stock was convertible
into 6.25 shares of common stock, each share of series C stock was convertible
into 5.6561 shares of common stock and each share of series D stock was
convertible into 2.7778 shares of common stock. Each share of common stock is
entitled to one vote, each share of series A stock, series B stock, series C
stock and series D stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number
of shares of common stock into which such stock is convertible on the record
date.

      The series A stock conversion rate is determined by dividing the series A
stock stated value ($25.00) plus accrued but unpaid dividends ($0) as of the
record date by the $4.42 conversion rate set forth in the Company's Certificate
of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Under this formula, each
share of series A stock is entitled to 5.6561 votes for a total number of votes
of [_____] for the series A stock. Holders of series A stock are entitled to the
number of votes determined by multiplying the aggregate number of shares of
series A stock held by 5.6561, rounded to the nearest whole number.

      The series B stock conversion rate is determined by dividing the series B
stock stated value ($25.00) plus accrued but unpaid dividends ($0) as of the
record date by the $4.00 conversion rate set forth in the Company's Certificate
of Designation of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Under this formula, each
share of series B stock is entitled to 6.25 votes for a total number of votes of
[_____] for the series B stock. Holders of series B stock are entitled to the
number of votes determined by multiplying the aggregate number of shares of
series B stock held by 6.25, rounded to the nearest whole number.

      The series C stock conversion rate is determined by dividing the series C
stock stated value ($25.00) plus accrued but unpaid dividends ($0) as of the
record date by the $4.42 conversion rate set forth in the Company's Certificate
of Designation of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Under this formula, each
share of series C stock is entitled to 5.6561 votes for a total number of votes
of [_____] for the series C stock. Holders of series C stock are entitled to the
number of votes determined by multiplying the aggregate number of shares of
series C stock held by 5.6561, rounded to the nearest whole number.

      The series D stock conversion rate is determined by dividing the series D
stock stated value ($25.00) plus accrued but unpaid dividends ($0) as of the
record date by the $9.00 conversion rate set forth in the Company's Certificate
of Designation of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. Under this formula, each
share of series D stock is entitled to 2.7778 votes for a total number of votes
of [_____] for the series D stock. Holders of series D stock are entitled to the
number of votes determined by multiplying the aggregate number of shares of
series D stock held by 2.7778, rounded to the nearest whole number.

      A total of [_____] votes representing common stock, series A stock, series
B stock, series C stock and series D stock are entitled to vote at the annual
meeting. The presence of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
common stock, series A stock, series B stock, series C stock and series D stock
entitled to vote, voting as a single class, represented in person or by proxy,
constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting.

Employment Agreements

      Immtech entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Thompson in April of
1991 pursuant to which we retained Mr. Thompson as our President and Chief
Executive Officer at an annual base salary of $150,000 (subject to annual
adjustment by the board), plus certain fringe benefits and reimbursement for
related business expenses. The agreement, which includes confidentiality and
non-disclosure provisions, also grants to Mr. Thompson the right to receive an
annual bonus to be established by the board in an amount not to exceed 60% of
Mr. Thompson's annual base salary for each such year, which bonus Mr. Thompson
has declined for each year to date. Mr. Thompson may accept bonus awards in
future years but will not be paid a bonus for years previously declined. If the
Company breaches the agreement or Mr. Thompson is terminated without cause, he
is entitled to all payments which he would otherwise accrue over the greater of
nine months from the date of termination or the remaining term under the
agreement. Mr. Thompson's initial term extended through April 9, 1992, and has
been automatically renewed for successive one-year terms since that date. Either
party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days' notice to the other. In the
event Mr. Thompson's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason,
he is restricted from competing with the Company in any business in which the
Company (i) is engaged at that time, (ii) is planning to become engaged and has
made significant monetary investment in order to be engaged or (iii) was engaged
at any time during his employment. The non-compete restriction period is 12
months from the date of Mr. Thompson's voluntary termination or an involuntary
termination for cause, or for a period of nine months from the date of an
involuntary termination, not for cause.

      Effective September 1, 2004, the Company's compensation committee
increased Mr. Thompson's base salary from $210,000 to $263,294 annually and on
September 8, 2004 granted to him incentive options to purchase 40,000 shares of
the Company's common stock exercisable at $9.41. The options vest ratably over
two years and expire on the day before the 10th anniversary of the date of
grant. Mr. Thompson received no cash bonus for fiscal years ended March 31, 2004
and 2005.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

      Our compensation committee establishes levels of cash compensation and
forms and amounts of non-cash compensation for our executive officers. The
guiding principles of our compensation committee are as follows:

      o     To provide a reasonable level of compensation sufficient to attract
            and retain executive personnel best suited by training, ability and
            other relevant criteria for the management requirements of our
            company,

      o     To balance base compensation (non-contingent) and incentive
            compensation (contingent upon performance) for the purpose of
            motivating executive personnel,

      o     To determine the extent and method of aligning the financial
            interest of our executive personnel with the interest of our
            stockholders in the appreciation of their investment,

      o     Administer the Company's 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from
            time to time,

      o     Review compensation plans, programs and policies,

      o     To use equity incentives to align the interests of our executive
            officers with the interests of stockholders, and

      o     Monitor the performance and compensation of executive officers.

      The goal of the Company's executive compensation policy is to ensure that
an appropriate relationship exists between executive compensation and the
creation of stockholder value, while at the same time attracting, motivating and
retaining senior management. The compensation committee's informal executive
compensation philosophy (which applies generally to all Company management,
including the Chief Executive Officer) considers a number of factors, which may
include:

      o     Providing levels of compensation competitive with companies at a
            comparable stage of development and in the Company's geographic
            area,

      o     Integrating management's compensation with the achievement of
            performance goals, and

      o     Recognizing and providing incentive for individual initiative and
            achievement.

      The compensation structure of the Company's executive officers, including
its Chief Executive Officer, is based on competitive, market-based pay practices
and performance evaluations, and generally includes a combination of base
salary, discretionary bonuses and stock options. In setting compensation levels,
the compensation committee considers data regarding compensation practices from
a group of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies that are believed to be
generally comparable to the Company. The companies comprising this group are not
necessarily included within the peer group index reflected in the performance
graph illustrated in this proxy statement. In setting our Chief Executive
Officer's salary, we applied 


                                       23


the same policy as applied in setting the compensation of our other executive
officers. Effective September 1, 2004, our Chief Executive Officer's base salary
was increased to $263,293 from $210,000 annually. He received options to
purchase 40,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $9.41 per share and no
cash bonus award in this fiscal year. As it has in the past, the compensation
committee considered information as to compensation levels for officers and
senior managers of comparable scope and responsibility in an industry group of
comparably sized companies.

      Base salary is not targeted at any particular level within the group of
companies considered. Instead, total salary is determined based on a subjective
assessment of the executive's performance and the Company's needs. Consistent
with its belief that equity ownership by senior management is beneficial in
aligning the interests of senior management with those of the stockholders, the
Company provides potentially significant long-term incentive opportunities to
its senior management through discretionary grants of stock options, thereby
emphasizing the potential creation of long-term stockholder value. The
compensation committee considers stock options effective long-term incentives
because an executive can profit only if the value of the common stock increases.
In making these grants, the compensation committee considers its subjective
assessment of the Company's future prospects, an executive officer's current
level of ownership of the common stock, the period during which an executive
officer has been in a key position with the Company, individual performance and
competitive practices within the comparative group of companies.

      No contingent compensation was paid to any officer for Fiscal Year 2005.

      In Fiscal Year 2005, we granted stock options to the Chief Executive
Officer and other executive officers. These stock option grants were made
pursuant to Second Amended and Restated Immtech International, Inc. 2000 Plan
for the purpose of further increasing incentives for our officers to increase
stockholder value. No stock appreciation rights or other forms of equity
compensation were granted.

      Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally denies a deduction
to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid to its chief executive
officer and its four other highest-paid executive officers to the extent that
any such individual's compensation exceeds $1 million, subject to certain
exceptions. The compensation committee intends to take actions to minimize the
Company's exposure to nondeductible compensation expense under Section 162(m).
While keeping this goal in mind, the compensation committee also will try to
maintain the flexibility that the committee believes to be an important element
of the Company's executive compensation program.

      The compensation committee Report does not constitute soliciting material
and shall not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other
Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent the Company specifically

                                   PROPOSAL 1

            ADOPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
            TO CHANGE THE COMPANY'S NAME TO IMMTECH PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. FROM
            IMMTECH INTERNATIONAL, INC.

      Immtech's stockholders are being asked to approve an amendment to the
certificate of incorporation, which will change the name of the Company to
"Immtech Pharmaceuticals, Inc." from "Immtech International, Inc." Immtech's
board of directors adopted the amendment described above on September 22, 2005,
subject to stockholder approval at the annual meeting.

      Our board believes that changing the name of the Company will more
accurately reflect the nature of the Immtech's business and result in improved
market recognition.

Vote Required for Approval

      The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote is
required to approve the proposed amendment to the certificate of incorporation.

            THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF
            THIS PROPOSAL 1 - ADOPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S
            CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE COMPANY'S NAME TO
            "IMMTECH PHARMACEUTICALS, INC." FROM "IMMTECH INTERNATIONAL, INC."


                                       27


                                   PROPOSAL 2

            ADOPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF
            INCORPORATION TO EFFECT, ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 15, 2007, A FORWARD
            SPLIT OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK OF UP TO THREE SHARES FOR EACH
            ONE SHARE OUTSTANDING AS OF THE RECORD DATE FOR THE STOCK SPLIT.

      Immtech's stockholders are being asked to approve an amendment to the
Company's certificate of incorporation, which will permit the board of directors
to effect, on or before December 15, 2007, a forward stock split of up to three
shares for each one share outstanding as of the record date of the stock split.
This proposal, if approved, will allow the board during the period to effect a
forward stock split of the Company's common stock in any ratio up to (3:1) that
the board determines to be in the best interest of the Company. Immtech's board
of directors adopted the amendment described above on September 22, 2005,
subject to stockholder approval at the annual meeting.

      Our board believes that, within the period stated, a forward stock split
of up to three-to-one (3:1) may be in the Company's best interests, principally
because it would give the board discretion should the market price of the
Company's common stock rise, to adjust the price into a range that is more
attractive to the financial community and the investing public and thereby
making a broader market. The board anticipates that following a stock split our
common stock share trading price would decrease which may encourage additional
investors to invest. A stock split will increase the number of shares traded in
the public market which we believe will establish a more liquid market in our
common stock.

      The Company does not plan to issue fractional shares in connection with
the forward stock split if the stock split ratio were to create fractional
shares; shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional
shares will have the number of new shares to which they are entitled rounded to
the nearest whole number of shares.

Effect of the Stock Split

      The proposed stock split would not change the stockholders' equity, nor
would the split affect the relative rights of any stockholder or result in a
dilution or diminution of any stockholder's proportionate interest in the
Company. However, since the stock split would result in each stockholder's
interest being represented by a greater number of shares, it is possible that
higher aggregate brokerage commissions may be payable after a stock split upon a
sale or transfer of a stockholder's same relative interest in common stock
because that interest would be represented by a greater number of shares.

      In connection with the stock split, the number of shares of common stock
underlying outstanding stock options, stock warrants and reserved for issuance
under the Company's existing stock incentive plan would be proportionately
adjusted pursuant to the terms of such 


                                       28


agreements to reflect the stock split, and the per share exercise prices of
outstanding options and warrants under such Company agreements would be
proportionately reduced.

         We believe that a stock split would not result in the recognition of a
taxable gain or loss to the stockholders for federal income tax purposes. In
addition, we believe the tax basis for shares in the hands of a stockholder
prior to the stock split will become the tax basis for the total number of
shares to be held by such stockholder immediately after the stock split, and the
holding period of the newly acquired shares will be deemed to be the same as the
holding period of the corresponding shares held prior to the stock split.

Circular 230 Disclaimer

         Any discussion contained in this Proxy Statement as to federal, state
or local tax matters is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used,
for the purpose of avoiding U.S. federal, state, or local tax penalties. This
discussion is written in connection with the matters addressed herein. You
should seek advice based on your particular circumstances from an independent
tax advisor.

Implementation of the Stock Split

         If the board of directors determines to affect a stock split upon the
authority granted by this Proposal 2, we will notify the American Stock Exchange
and will submit an amended listing application to reflect it. We will publicly
announce the results of the stockholder vote with respect to the stock split as
promptly as practicable after the Meeting (or any adjournment).

         If approved by the stockholders and affected by the board of directors,
we will implement the stock split by issuing an additional stock certificate to
each stockholder of record as of the close of business on the effective date.
The additional certificate will represent the additional shares and stockholders
should retain their present certificates. Stockholders need not return their
existing certificates to the Company or its transfer agent, although they may do
so through the transfer agent if they wish to combine their shares in a single
certificate.

         The board of directors reserves the right, even if this Proposal 3 is
approved, not to effect any stock-split if it determines in its sole discretion
that implementing a stock split is not in the best interest of the Company.

Impact on the Immtech's Consolidated Financial Statements

      The Immtech's reported amounts of authorized and issued common stock will
also be adjusted on a basis equal to the stock split. The stock split will
affect reported earnings (loss) per share amounts because of the increase in the
number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Vote Required for Approval

      The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote is
required to approve the proposed amendment to the certificate of incorporation.

            THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF
            THIS PROPOSAL 2 - ADOPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT 


                                       29


            TO THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO PERMIT THE BOARD OF
            DIRECTORS TO EFFECT, ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 15, 2007, A FORWARD SPLIT
            OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK OF UP TO THREE SHARES FOR EACH ONE
            SHARE OUTSTANDING AS OF THE RECORD DATE FOR THE STOCK SPLIT.


                                       30


                                   PROPOSAL 3

            ADOPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S 2000 PLAN TO PERMIT
            THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, OR AN INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE THEREOF, TO
            AMEND THE TERMS OF OUTSTANDING AWARDS GRANTED UNDER THE 2000 PLAN AS
            SET FORTH IN THE PROPOSED THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED 2000 STOCK
            INCENTIVE PLAN ATTACHED HERETO AS APPENDIX A.

      Immtech's stockholders are being asked to approve an amendment to the 2000
Plan, which will permit the board of directors, or an independent committee
thereof, to modify outstanding awards. Specifically, the amendment will grant
authority to the board of directors, or an independent committee thereof, to,
among other things, extend the exercise periods of outstanding stock options.
The following Section 5.04 will be added to the end of Article 5 of the 2000
Plan:

            "Section 5.04 Modification of Outstanding Awards. The Committee
            shall have the power to modify the terms of any outstanding Award to
            the extent (i) the Committee had the power to set such term as of
            the date of grant and (ii) such modification does not materially
            impair the rights of the Award recipient (in terms of duration,
            vesting or exercise price, as applicable) without the recipient's
            consent. Without limiting the forgoing, the Committee shall have the
            power to extend the term of exercise of any outstanding Option."

      Immtech's board of directors adopted the amendment described above on
September 22, 2005, subject to stockholder approval at the annual meeting.

      The 2000 Plan permits the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock
options and restricted stock award (collectively, "Awards") to our employees,
directors, consultants, advisors and other eligible persons. No Awards other
than stock options have been granted to date.

      Our board believes that permitting the board of directors to modify the
terms of outstanding awards will allow us to obtain the full benefit of those
options, i.e. to retain the services of key individuals essential to our
long-term growth and financial success. We rely on stock awards to attract and
retain key employees and other individuals and believe that such equity
incentives are necessary for us to remain competitive with regard to attracting
and retaining qualified individuals.

      This amendment to the 2000 Plan will allow the compensation committee to
extend the exercise periods of outstanding stock options to up to 10 years.

      A summary of the 2000 Plan, as proposed to be amended, is set forth below.
This summary is, however, qualified by and subject to the more complete
information set forth in the 2000 Plan, as proposed to be amended, a copy of
which is attached as Appendix A.


                                       31


                               Purpose of the Plan

      The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of Immtech and
its subsidiaries and to increase stockholder value by:

      o     attracting and retaining key employees and directors of outstanding
            ability,

      o     encouraging key employees and directors to focus on long-range
            objectives, and

      o     further aligning the interests of key employees and directors with
            the interests of the stockholders.

Administration of the Plan

      The Plan is administered by the members of the compensation committee of
the board of directors, all of whom are "outside directors" within the meaning
of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
and a "non-employee director" as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The compensation committee, subject to the
provisions of the 2000 Plan:

      o     selects persons to receive awards from among those eligible,

      o     determines the types of awards and the number of shares of common
            stock covered by such awards,

      o     establishes the terms, conditions, restrictions and other provisions
            of awards, and

      o     amends, modifies, cancels or suspends awards.

      The compensation committee has authority to interpret the 2000 Plan and
all agreements and other instruments relating to awards, to adopt, amend and
rescind rules for the administration of the 2000 Plan and to make such other
determinations and take such other actions that it deems necessary or advisable
for the effective administration of the 2000 Plan. The compensation committee
may delegate to one or more officers the power to make Awards to employees who
are not executive officers subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16
of the Exchange Act.

Types of Awards

      The compensation committee may award options to purchase shares of Immtech
common stock and restricted shares of Immtech common stock under the 2000 Plan.

Number of Shares That May Be Awarded

      Immtech may grant options to purchase for cash an aggregate of not more
than 2,200,000 shares of Immtech common stock, subject to adjustment in the
event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other corporate
reorganization. The total number of shares currently covered by the 2000 Plan
represents 8.50% of the shares of common stock and preferred stock on an as if
converted basis outstanding as of September 30, 2005.


                                       32


      The 2000 Plan provides for the use of authorized but unissued shares or
treasury shares. To the extent any shares of common stock covered by an award
are forfeited, not issued or cease to be issuable for any reason, including,
without limitation, because the award is terminated, canceled or expires
unexercised, then the shares of common stock subject to such award may again be
used for further awards under the 2000 Plan.

Term of the 2000 Plan

      The 2000 Plan became effective on March 30, 2000. The 2000 Plan amendment
will become effective when approved by the stockholders. Unless the 2000 Plan is
earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions, no awards will be made
under the 2000 Plan after March 30, 2010, but outstanding options and
restrictions on restricted shares issued under the 2000 Plan may extend beyond
that date.

Eligibility to Receive Awards

      Unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee, the
compensation committee may designate awards of restricted stock and stock
options to employees and any other person providing material services to us
including directors, consultants, advisors, independent contractor and the five
officers of Immtech listed herein. Non-employee directors and individuals
providing services may receive stock options as set forth in the 2000 Plan, but
are not eligible to receive incentive stock options.

Provisions Applicable to Stock Options

      Exercise Price. The compensation committee may grant options to purchase
Immtech common stock for cash or other items of value including stock or
convertible securities. The compensation committee has discretion in granting
Awards, however, the exercise price of any incentive stock option ("ISO") may
not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date
of the grant.

      Term of Options; Incentive Stock Options. Unless otherwise determined by
the compensation committee, options may not be exercised later than ten years
after the grant date. Subject to the limitations imposed by the provisions of
the Code, certain of the options granted under the 2000 Plan may be designated
"incentive stock options". Incentive stock option grants shall not exceed
$100,000 of aggregate fair market value to any one participant during any
calendar year. No ISO may be granted under the 2000 Plan more than ten years
after the 2000 Plan's initial adoption.

      Written Agreement. Each stock option granted under the 2000 Plan will be
evidenced by a written agreement, in such form as may be specified by the
compensation committee, issued by Immtech and setting forth the terms,
conditions and other provisions of the stock option, including the number of
shares covered by the stock option, the exercise price per share, the term of
the stock option and the vesting schedule. A recipient of a stock option award
may not exercise the stock option until he or she executes and delivers such
agreement to Immtech.

      Transferability Restrictions. A stock option issued under the 2000 Plan by
its terms will be personal, and may not without the consent of the compensation
committee be sold, pledged, 


                                       33


assigned, exchanged, encumbered, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any
manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

      Grant Limits. In no event shall the compensation committee grant
options(s) to purchase more than 75,000 shares of common stock to one
participant in any 12 month period.

      Rights After Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise determined by the
compensation committee:

      o     No option may be exercised more than three months after termination
            of an optionee's employment or directorship for any reason other
            than death, disability or retirement as defined in the 2000 Plan.

      o     If an optionee retires or if employment or directorship terminates
            pursuant to permanent disability or death, such optionee's option
            shall terminate twelve months after the date of retirement or such
            termination, as the case may be.

      Payment of Exercise Price. Because the options are to be granted as
incentives, Immtech will not receive any cash consideration for granting
options. Payment in full of the option price must be made upon exercise of any
option.

      Amendment of Outstanding Awards. The compensation committee may amend any
award under the 2000 Plan to the extent the committee had the power to set such
term as of the date of grant, provided that no such amendment may materially
impair the rights of the holder of an award granted without such award holder's
consent. The compensation committee may accelerate the exercisability of any
option or the termination of any restriction under any award.

Stock Option Grants to Non-Employee Directors

      The compensation committee may grant to each non-employee director who is
elected at or who remains in office following an annual meeting, immediately
following such meeting, an option to purchase such number of shares of Immtech
common stock as shall be determined by the compensation committee. Each
non-employee director who is elected or appointed a director other than at an
annual meeting may be granted upon such election or appointment an option to
purchase such number of shares of Immtech common stock as shall be determined by
the compensation committee.

Provisions Applicable to Restricted Stock Awards

      Terms, Conditions and Restrictions. The compensation committee has
authority to establish the terms, conditions, restrictions and other provisions
of each restricted stock award. Unless otherwise specified by the compensation
committee, restricted shares shall be restricted for a period of at least one
year and not more than ten years. Until such time as the restrictions on the
restricted shares terminate, Immtech or its designee will hold the certificates
for such restricted shares in escrow on the recipient's behalf.

      Agreements and Stock Legends. A restricted stock award will be evidenced
by a written agreement, in such form as may be specified by the compensation
committee, issued by Immtech and setting forth the terms, conditions,
restrictions and other provisions of the award. Stock 


                                       34


certificates for restricted shares may, if the compensation committee so
determines, bear a legend referring to the restrictions and the instruments to
which the shares are subject.

      Transferability Restrictions. During the applicable restriction period,
restricted shares may not be sold, pledged, assigned, exchanged, encumbered,
hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner.

Termination and Amendment of the 2000 Plan

      The board of directors may at any time suspend or terminate the 2000 Plan
and the board of directors or compensation committee may amend or modify the
2000 Plan and amend, cancel or suspend any award made under the 2000 Plan;
provided, however, that without the consent of the recipients affected, no such
suspension, termination, cancellation, amendment or modification may materially
impair the rights of such recipients with respect to awards previously granted,
except as provided in the 2000 Plan. Certain amendments and modifications
specified in the 2000 Plan, including an amendment to increase the number of
shares issuable under the 2000 Plan, may not be made, however, without the
requisite vote of Immtech's stockholders.

Benefits to Named Executive Officers and Others

      During Fiscal Year 2005, options to purchase 391,000 shares were granted
under the 2000 Plan to 25 persons at a weighted average exercise price of $10.34
per share. A grant to purchase 517 shares was terminated by cashless exercise
and are again available for issuance pursuant to the terms of the 2000 Plan.
During Fiscal Year 2005, options to purchase 1,330,057 shares were outstanding
under the 2000 Plan and the Immtech International, Inc. 1992 Stock Option Plan
("1992 Plan"), 23,000 shares were issued upon exercise of options granted under
the 2000 Plan, there were no restricted stock awards and there remained
1,049,250 shares available under the 2000 Plan. Awards and shares reserved under
the 2000 Plan are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of a stock
split or other recapitalization. No additional options or awards are available
for issuance under the 1992 Plan.

      During fiscal year 2006 (through September 30, 2005), options to purchase
38,500 shares have been granted under the 2000 Plan to five persons at a
weighted average exercise price of $11.64 per share. During fiscal year 2006
(through September 30, 2005), options to purchase 1,246,051 shares were
outstanding under the 2000 Plan and the 1992 Plan, 44,928 shares have been
issued upon exercise of options granted under the 2000 Plan. During the
remainder of fiscal year 2006, the compensation committee, in its discretion,
may grant additional awards to eligible participants under the 2000 Plan.

Foreign Jurisdictions

      In order to foster and promote achievement of the material purposes of the
2000 Plan in foreign jurisdictions and to fairly accommodate for differences in
local law, tax policy or custom, the compensation committee may modify the terms
of the 2000 Plan or provide additional terms. These modifications or additional
terms may be reflected in sub-plans, supplements or alternative versions of the
2000 Plan.

                                   PROPOSAL 4
                            RATIFICATION OF AUDITORS

      Our audit committee has appointed the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, an
independent registered public accounting firm, to be our independent auditors
for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006 and the board of directors recommends
the stockholders vote for ratification of that appointment. Deloitte & Touche
LLP served in this capacity for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 and has
been our independent auditor since 1996.

      The audit committee appoints our independent auditors annually and the
board of directors subsequently requests ratification of such appointment by the
stockholders at the Company's annual meeting. The audit committee reviews and
approves in advance the scope of the audit, the types of non-audit services that
we will need and the estimated fees for the coming year. The audit committee
also reviews and approves any non-audit services provided by our independent
auditors to ensure that any such services will not impair the independence of
the auditors. To the extent that our management believes that a new service or
the expansion of a current service provided by our accountants is necessary,
such new or expanded service is presented to the audit committee or one of its
members for review and approval.

      Before making its selection, the audit committee carefully considered
Deloitte & Touche LLP's qualifications as independent auditors, which included a
review of Deloitte & Touche LLP's performance in prior years, as well as its
reputation for integrity and competence in the fields of accounting and
auditing. The audit committee expressed its satisfaction with Deloitte & Touche
LLP in these respects.

      Stockholder ratification of the audit committee's selection of Deloitte &
Touche LLP as the Company's independent auditors is not required by law, the
Company's bylaws or otherwise. However, the board of directors is submitting the
audit committee's selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP to the stockholders for
ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. If the stockholders fail
to ratify the selection, the audit committee will reconsider whether or not to
retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee in its
discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any
time during the year if it determines that such change would be in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders.

            THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF
            THIS PROPOSAL NO. 4 - RATIFICATION OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS OUR
            INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2006

Independent Auditors

      Deloitte & Touche LLP served as our independent auditors for the fiscal
years ended March 31, 1996 through March 31, 2005 and has been selected by the
audit committee to continue for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006.
Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present at the annual meeting,
with the opportunity to make a statement should they desire to do so, and be
available to respond to appropriate questions.

(1) Includes fees and out-of-pocket expenses for the following services: audit
of the consolidated financial statements, quarterly reviews, SEC filings and
consents, financial accounting and reporting consultations, and costs in our
fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 preparing the 2005 audit requirement for
compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act section 404 and financial testing.

(2) Includes fees and out-of-pocket expenses for tax compliance, tax planning
and advice.

For (1) above, the audit committee has determined that the provision of the
non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the
independent auditors and has determined there is no conflict of interest.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

      The members of the audit committee have been appointed by the board of
directors. The audit committee is governed by a charter, which has been approved
and adopted by the board of directors and which will be reviewed and reassessed
annually by the audit committee. The audit committee is comprised of three
independent directors.

      The following Audit Committee Report does not constitute soliciting
material and shall not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any
other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent the Company
specifically incorporates this Audit Committee Report by reference therein.

      The audit committee assists the board of directors in fulfilling its
oversight responsibilities by reviewing (i) the financial reports and other
financial information provided by the Company to any governmental body or to the
public, (ii) the Company's systems of internal controls regarding finance,
accounting, legal compliance and ethics and (iii) the Company's auditing,
accounting and financial reporting processes.

      The audit committee discussed and reviewed with the independent auditors
all communications required by generally accepted auditing standards, including
those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended,
"Communication with Audit Committees," and, with and without management present,
discussed and reviewed the results of 


                                       38


the independent auditors' examination of the financial statements. The audit
committee has received from and discussed with the independent auditors their
written disclosure and letter regarding their independence from the Company as
required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1.

      Management is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the
Company's financial statements and the independent auditors are responsible for
the examination of those statements. The audit committee reviewed the Company's
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and audited financial statements for the
Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, and met with both management and the
Company's independent auditors to discuss those quarterly reports and financial
statements.

      Based upon these reviews and discussions, the audit committee has
recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March
31, 2005.

           Respectfully submitted,
           The Audit Committee                              October 17, 2005

reported, to our knowledge, all of our directors, executive officers and
beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock subject to such reporting

Solicitation of Proxies

      Our officers, directors and employees may solicit proxies from
stockholders. We pay no additional compensation to our officers, directors or
employees for such solicitation. Solicitations may be made personally, or by
mail, facsimile or other electronic means, telephone, or messenger. We may
reimburse brokers and other persons holding shares in their names or in the
names of nominees for expenses in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners
and obtaining proxies from such owners. Additionally, the board of directors has
engaged the firm of Georgeson & Company, Inc. to aid in the solicitation of
proxies. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Corporation and is
estimated at $10,000.

Other Matters

      The board does not intend to bring any other business before the meeting,
and the board is not currently aware of any other matters to be voted on at the
annual meeting except as disclosed in the notice of annual meeting of
stockholders. However, if any other matters are properly presented at the annual
meeting, those proxies granting such authority will be voted in respect thereof
in accordance with the judgment of stockholders' proxy representative, Mr. Gary

in 2006, which proposal is not intended to be included in Immtech's proxy
statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting, the stockholder must give
appropriate notice to Immtech not later than July 1, 2006. If such a stockholder

with Article VIII; provided, however, in no event may an Incentive Stock Option
be granted under the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective
Date.

Plan, the Committee shall determine and designate, from time to time, from among
the employees, directors and other individuals providing material services to
the Company, those persons who will be granted one or more Awards under the
Plan, and thereby become Participants in the Plan.

      In the discretion of the Committee, and subject to the terms of the Plan,
a Participant may be granted any Award permitted under the provisions of the
Plan, and more than one Award may be granted to a Participant. Except as
otherwise agreed by the Company and the Participant, or except as otherwise
provided in the Plan, an Award under the Plan shall not affect any previous
Award under the Plan or an award under any other plan maintained by the Company.

      Section 1.04 Operation and Administration. The operation and
administration of the Plan, including the Awards made under the Plan, shall be

of performing the duties of his or her position. For purposes of determining the
post-termination exercise period applicable to an Incentive Stock Option, the

Committee determines that the Disability arose prior to such Participant's
Termination Date.

                                  OPTION AWARDS
                                  -------------

      Section 3.01 Eligibility. The Committee shall determine and designate from
among the Eligible Individuals, those persons who shall be granted Options and
become Participants under the Plan and the number of shares of Common Stock that
shall be subject to each such Option.

      Section 3.02 Terms and Conditions of Options. Options granted under the
Plan may be Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options, as determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that no Incentive
Stock Option shall be awarded to any individual who is not an employee of the
Company. To the extent that an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option
does not satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, it shall be
treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. Each Option granted under the Plan shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions, and such other terms and
conditions as the Committee deems appropriate.

      (a) Exercise Price. The price of each share of Common Stock subject to an
Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted
and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall not be less than the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted.

      (b) Vesting of Options. The exercise of an Option is contingent on
satisfaction of the vesting conditions, if any, established by the Committee
with respect to such Option at the time of grant. Such conditions may include,
but are not limited to, completion of a specified period of service or
achievement of performance goals. If the Committee determines that a Participant
has


                                      A-3


                                   APPENDIX A
                                   ----------

disclosed without the written consent of an authorized officer of the Company,
to any person not employed by or engaged to render services to the Company, any
material confidential information of the Company, or that the Participant has
engaged in material competition with the Company or in any activities otherwise
contrary to the best interests of the Company, the Committee may cancel such
Participant's outstanding Options, whether or not vested.

      (c) Expiration Date. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, Options
awarded under the Plan shall expire and no longer be exercisable on the earliest
to occur of:

            (i) The ten-year anniversary of the date the Option was granted;

            (ii) If the Participant's Termination Date occurs by reason of
      death, Disability or Retirement, the first anniversary of such Termination
      Date;

            (iii) If the Participant's Termination Date occurs for reasons of
      Cause, such Termination Date; or

            (iv) If the Participant's Termination Date occurs for any reason
      other than death, Disability, Retirement or Cause, the three-month
      anniversary of the Termination Date.

      Unless the Committee determines otherwise, any portion of an Option which
      is not exercisable on the Participant's Termination Date for any reason
      shall expire on such Termination Date and may not thereafter be exercised.

      (d) Other Terms. Options granted under the Plan may also be subject to
such other provisions (whether or not applicable to any other Options granted
under the Plan) as the Committee determines appropriate, including without
limitation, provisions to assist the Participant in financing the acquisition of
Common Stock, provisions for the forfeiture of, or restrictions on resale or
other disposition of Common Stock acquired under any Option, provisions for the
acceleration of exercisability or vesting of Options, provisions relating to
restrictions on competitive activity, or provisions to comply with Federal and
state securities laws, or understandings or conditions as to the Participant's
employment in addition to those specifically provided for under the Plan.

      Section 3.03 Rules Applicable to Incentive Stock Options. In addition to
the terms and conditions specified elsewhere in the Plan, the following rules
shall be applicable to Incentive Stock Options.

      (a) Grant Period. An Incentive Stock Option may not be granted more than
ten years after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Company or approved by stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier.

      (b) Ten Percent-Owner. If a Participant on the date that an Incentive
Stock Option is granted owns, directly or indirectly, within the meaning of
Section 424(d) of the Code, stock representing more than 10% of the voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company, then the exercise price per share shall
in no instance be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, and no Incentive Stock


                                       A-4


                                   APPENDIX A
                                   ----------

Option shall be exercisable by such Participant after the expiration of five
years from the date it is granted.

      (c) Employee Status. To retain favorable Incentive Stock Option tax
treatment, the Option holder must be an employee of the Company at all times
from the date the Option is granted through a date that is no more than three
months prior to the date such Option is exercised (or no more than one year
prior to the date such Option is exercised if the Option holder terminates
employment due to death or Disability). For this purpose, the first 90 days of
an authorized leave of absence (or, if longer, the period the Participant's
right to reemployment is guaranteed by statute or contract) shall not be deemed
to sever the employment relationship.

      (d) Limitations on Dispositions. To retain favorable Incentive Stock
Option tax treatment, Common Stock received upon the exercise of an Incentive
Stock Option may not be disposed of prior to the later of two years from the
date the Incentive Stock Option is granted or one year from the date the shares
of Common Stock are transferred to the Participant upon exercise of the
Incentive Stock Option.

      (e) Value of Shares. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the
date or dates of grant) of the Incentive Stock Options exercisable for the first
time by a Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 or any
other limit imposed by the Code.

      Section 3.04 Exercise of Options. An Option may be exercised in whole or
part, to the extent then exercisable, by filing a written notice with the
Secretary of the Company at its corporate headquarters. Such notice shall
specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased and must be
accompanied by payment of the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes.
Such payment may be paid (1) in cash, (2) by check, (3) in the discretion of the
Committee, by the delivery (or certification of ownership) of Common Stock that
has been held by the Participant at least six months, or (4) in any other manner
then permitted by the Committee; provided, however, that payment of the exercise
price by delivery of Common Stock then owned by the Participant may be made, if
permitted by the Committee, only if such payment does not result in a charge to
earnings for financial accounting purposes as determined by the Committee.

      Section 3.05 Conditional Exercise of Options Prior to Full Vesting. The
Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide that an Option under the Plan
shall be exercisable prior to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions. Any
shares received in connection with the exercise of an Option prior to the
satisfaction of the vesting conditions shall be subject to such restrictions and
limitations, including limitations on transfer, as determined by the Committee
in its sole discretion. The Participant shall be required to execute a
Restricted Stock Agreement agreeing to such terms as a condition of exercise.
Upon change in control, options shall be immediately, fully vested.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                         STOCK AWARDS; RESTRICTED STOCK
                         ------------------------------

      Section 4.01 Definition. Subject to the terms of this Article IV, a Stock
Award under the Plan is a grant of shares of Common Stock to a Participant, the
earning, vesting or


                                      A-5


                                   APPENDIX A
                                   ----------

distribution of which is subject to one or more conditions established by the
Committee in its sole discretion. Such conditions may relate to events (such as
performance or continued employment) occurring before or after the date the
Stock Award is granted, or the date the Common Stock is earned by, vested in or
delivered to the Participant. If the vesting of Stock Awards is subject to
conditions occurring after the date of grant, the period beginning on the date
of grant of a Stock Award and ending on the vesting or forfeiture of such Common
Stock (as applicable) is referred to as the "Restricted Period." Such Stock
Award may be referred to as "Restricted Stock" during the Restricted Period.
Stock Awards may provide for delivery of the shares of Common Stock at the time
of grant, or may provide for a deferred delivery date. A Stock Award may, but
need not, be made in conjunction with a cash-based incentive compensation
program maintained by the Company, and may, but need not, be in lieu of cash
otherwise awardable under such program.

      Section 4.02 Eligibility. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall
designate the Participants to whom Stock Awards are to be granted, and the
number of shares of Common Stock that are subject to each such Award.

      Section 4.03 Terms and Conditions of Awards. Stock Awards granted to
Participants under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions:

      (a) Beginning on the date of grant (or, if later, the date of
distribution) of shares of Common Stock comprising a Stock Award, and including
any applicable Restricted Period, the Participant shall be treated as owner of
such shares and shall have the right to vote such shares.

      (b) Payment of dividends with respect to Stock Awards shall be subject to
the following:

            (i) On and after the date that a Participant has a fully earned and
      vested right to the shares comprising a Stock Award, and the shares have
      been distributed to the Participant, the Participant shall have all
      dividend rights and any other rights of a stockholder with respect to such
      shares.

            (ii) Prior to the date that a Participant has a fully earned and
      vested right to the shares comprising a Stock Award, the Committee, in its
      sole discretion, may award Dividend Rights (as defined in subparagraph
      (iv) below) with respect to such shares.

            (iii) On and after the date that a Participant has a fully earned
      and vested right to the shares comprising a Stock Award, but before the
      shares have been distributed to the Participant, the Participant shall be
      entitled to Dividend Rights (as defined in subparagraph (iv) below) with
      respect to such shares, at the time and in the form determined by the
      Committee.

            (iv) A "Dividend Right" with respect to shares comprising a Stock
      Award shall entitle the Participant, as of each dividend payment date, to
      an amount equal to the dividends payable with respect to a share of Common
      Stock multiplied by the number of such shares. Dividend Rights shall be
      settled in cash or in shares of Common Stock, as determined by the
      Committee, shall be payable at the time and in the form determined by


                                      A-6


                                   APPENDIX A
                                   ----------

      the Committee, and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as
      the Committee may determine.

                                 ADMINISTRATION
                                 --------------

      Section 5.01 Authority of Committee. The Committee shall have the
authority to approve Eligible Individuals for participation; to construe and
interpret the Plan; to establish, amend or waive rules and regulations for its
administration; and to accelerate the exercisability of any Option or the
termination of any restriction under any Award. Awards may be subject to such
provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable, and may be amended by the
Committee from time to time; provided that no such amendment may adversely
affect the rights of the holder of an Award without such Award holder's written
consent.

      Section 5.02 Powers of the Committee. The Committee may employ such legal
counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration
of the Plan and may rely upon any opinion received from any such counsel or
consultant and any computation received from any such consultant or agent.

      Section 5.03 Indemnification. No member of the Committee shall be liable
for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or
any Award made under it. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each
such member shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any
cost or expense (including legal fees) or liability (including any sum paid in
settlement of a claim with the approval of the Company) arising out of any act
or omission to act in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of such
member's own fraud or bad faith. Such indemnification shall be in addition to
any rights of indemnification the members may have as employees of the Company,
as members of the Board or under the by-laws of the Company.

      Section 5.04 Modification of Outstanding Awards. The Committee shall have
the power to modify the terms of any outstanding Award to the extent (i) the
Committee had the power to set such term as of the date of grant and (ii) such
modification does not materially impair the rights of the Award recipient (in
terms of duration, vesting or exercise price, as applicable) without the
recipient's consent. Without limiting the forgoing, the Committee shall have the
power to extend the term of exercise of any outstanding Option.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                        COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
                        --------------------------------

      Section 6.01 Common Stock Subject to Plan. The aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 2,200,000
shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 6.02. In no event shall
the number of shares of Common Stock underlying Options awarded to any one
individual in any 12-month period exceed 75,000 shares. Shares issued under the
Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or shares that are currently held or
subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares. Any shares subject to
an Award which for any reason expires or terminates without the issuance of
Common

                                   ----------

Stock (including, if applicable, Common Stock that is not issued because it is
withheld to satisfy tax withholding) shall again be available for issuance of
Awards under the Plan.

      Section 6.02 Adjustment to Shares. In the event of any merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, stock dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split, exchange or other distribution with respect to
shares of Common Stock or other change in corporate structure or capitalization
affecting the Common Stock, the type and number of shares of Common Stock which
are or may be subject to Awards under the Plan and the terms of any outstanding
Awards (including the number of shares subject to the Award and the price, if
applicable, at which they may be purchased) shall be equitably adjusted by the
Committee, in its sole discretion, to preserve the value of the benefits awarded
or to be awarded to Participants under the Plan.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                               GENERAL PROVISIONS
                               ------------------

      Section 7.01 No Contract of Employment. The Plan does not constitute a
contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give any
individual the right to be retained in the employ of the Company as an employee,
advisor or otherwise, nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan
unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan.

      Section 7.02 Stockholder Status. No Award under the Plan shall confer upon
the holder thereof any right as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date
on which shares of Common Stock are registered in his or her name.

      Section 7.03 Limitations on Distributions. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no liability to deliver any shares
of Common Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under
the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable
laws and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar
entity. Prior to the issuance of any share of Common Stock under the Plan, the
Company may require a written statement that the recipient is acquiring the
shares for investment and not for the purpose or with the intention of
distributing the shares and will not dispose of them in violation of the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.
