V.   STOCK OPTIONS

     5.01 General. Each year, upon the first meeting of the Company's Board of
Directors following the Company's annual meeting of shareholders, each person
then serving the Company as an Outside Director at that time shall automatically
be granted an option to purchase four thousand (4,000) shares, subject to
adjustment under Section 3.02 hereof. Each option granted under the Plan shall
be evidenced by a stock option agreement between the Company and the Grantee
which shall contain the terms and conditions required by this Article V, and
such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent herewith, as the Committee may
deem appropriate in each case.

     5.02 Option Price. The price at which each share of Company Stock covered
by an option may be purchased shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value of the Company Stock on the date the option is granted.

     5.03 Period for Exercise. Each stock option agreement shall state the
period or periods of time within which the option may be exercised by the
Optionee, in whole or in part, which shall be the period or periods of time as
may be determined by the Committee, provided that unless otherwise determined by

<PAGE>

     (b)  If the option is not earlier exercised or terminated, all rights to
          exercise an option shall expire ten (10) years from the date the
          option was granted.

     (c)  Upon termination of service as a director of the Company for any
          reason other than death, after the director shall have continuously so
          served for eleven (11) months after the date of option grant, the
          director may, at any time within two (2) years after the date of such
          termination, but in no event later than the date of expiration of the
          option, exercise the option to the extent he or she was entitled to do
          so on the date of termination.

     (d)  If an Optionee dies while serving as a director of the Company, or
          within two (2) years after termination of such service, the personal
          representative of the Optionee's estate or the person or persons to
          whom the option is transferred by will or the laws of descent and
          distribution may, at any time within two (2) years after the date of
          death, but not later than the date of expiration of the option,
          exercise the option to the extent the Optionee was entitled to do so
          on the date of death.

     (e)  All options shall become immediately exercisable in full upon a change
          in control (as determined by the Committee).

     5.04 Method of Exercise. Each option may be exercised in whole or in part
from time to time as specified in the stock option agreement. Each Optionee may
exercise an option by giving written notice of the exercise to the Company,
specifying the number of shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full
of the purchase price therefor. The purchase price may be paid in cash, by
check, or, with the approval of the Committee, by delivering shares of Company
Stock which have been beneficially owned by the Optionee, the Optionee's spouse,
or both of them for a period of at least six months prior to the time of
exercise ("Delivered Stock") or a combination of cash and Delivered Stock.
Delivered Stock shall be valued at its Fair Market Value determined as of the
date of exercise of the option. No Optionee shall be under any obligation to
exercise any option hereunder. An Optionee shall not have any rights of a
stockholder with respect to the shares subject to the option until such shares
shall have been

                                       5
<PAGE>

delivered to him or her.

     5.05 Merger, Consolidation or Reorganization. In the event of a merger,
consolidation or reorganization with another corporation in which the Company is
not the surviving corporation, the Committee may, subject to the approval of the
Board of Directors of the Company, or the board of directors of any corporation
assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder, take action regarding each
outstanding and unexercised option pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) below:

     (a)  Appropriate provision may be made for the protection of such option by
          the substitution on an equitable basis of appropriate shares of the
          surviving corporation, provided that the excess of the aggregate Fair
          Market Value of the shares subject to such option immediately before
          such substitution over the exercise price thereof is not more than the
          excess of the aggregate fair market value of the substituted shares
          made subject to option immediately after such substitution over the
          exercise price thereof; or

     (b)  The Committee may cancel such option. In such event, the Company, or
          the corporation assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder,
          shall pay the Optionee an amount of cash (less normal withholding
          taxes) equal to the excess of the highest Fair Market Value per share
          of the Company Stock during the 60-day period immediately preceding
          the merger, consolidation or reorganization over the option exercise
          price, multiplied by the number of shares subject to such option.

     5.06 Withholding Taxes. Pursuant to applicable federal and state laws, the
Company is or may be required to collect withholding taxes upon the exercise of
an option or the lapse of stock restrictions. The Company may require, as a
condition to the exercise of an option or the issuance of a stock certificate,
that the Optionee concurrently pay to the Company (either in cash or, at the
request of Grantee but in the discretion of the Committee and subject to such
rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt from time to time, in shares of
Delivered Stock) the entire amount or a portion of any taxes which the Company
is required to withhold by reason of

                                       6
<PAGE>

such exercise or lapse of restrictions, in such amount as the Committee or the
Company in its discretion may determine. In lieu of part or all of any such
payment, the Optionee may elect, subject to such rules and regulations as the
Committee may adopt from time to time, or the Company may require that the
Company withhold from the shares to be issued that number of shares having a
Fair Market Value equal to the amount which the Company is required to withhold.

VI.  GENERAL

     6.01 Nontransferability. No option shall be transferable by an Optionee
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, provided that in
accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidance, the Committee, in its
discretion, may grant options that are transferable, without payment of
consideration, to family members of the Optionee or to trusts or partnerships
for such family members. The Committee may also amend outstanding stock options
to provide for such transferability.

     6.02 General Restriction. Each option shall be subject to the requirement
that if at any time the Board or the Committee shall determine, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration, or qualification of securities upon
any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or
approval of any government regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a
condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such option or the issue or
purchase of securities thereunder, such option may not be exercised in whole or
in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval
shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to
the Board or the Committee.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     6.03 No Promise of Continued Service as a Director. Nothing in the Plan or
in any option granted under the Plan shall confer on any director any right to
continue as a director of the Company or affect the right of the Company to
terminate his or her service to the Company at any time.

     6.04 Expiration and Termination of the Plan. The Plan will terminate ten
(10) years after the effective date of the Plan, except as to options then
outstanding under the Plan, which options shall remain in effect until they have
been exercised, the restrictions have lapsed or the options have expired or been
forfeited. The Plan may be abandoned or terminated at any time by the Board of
Directors of the Company, except with respect to any options then outstanding
under the Plan.

     6.05 Amendments. The Board may from time to time amend, modify, suspend or
terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such action shall be made without
shareholder approval where such change would be required in order to comply with
Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or any successor rule) or
the Code. Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the
Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding options granted
under the Plan, accept the surrender of outstanding options (to the extent not
theretofore exercised), reduce the exercise price of outstanding options, or
authorize the granting of new options in substitution therefor (to the extent
not theretofore exercised). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification of an
option (either directly or through modification of the Plan) shall, without the
consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights of

                                       8
<PAGE>

the Optionee under the option.

     6.06 Construction. Except as otherwise required by applicable federal laws,
the Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of ____________________.

         4.1  In addition to his Base Salary, upon completion of the first year
     of the Initial Term, Executive shall receive a special bonus equal to

     Medicare tax. The loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in form and

     termination of Executive's employment hereunder and (ii) December 31, 2000.
     In addition, as an inducement to the Executive to remain an employee of the
     Company, promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
     the Company shall grant to Executive 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the
     "Contingent Stock Grant"), which shares shall become vested automatically
     on November 30, 2000, unless Executive's employment with the Company is
     terminated for Cause (as defined below) or as a result of a voluntary
     resignation by Executive without Good Reason prior to November 30, 2000 in
     accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the
     Contingent Stock Grant shall be canceled and Executive shall have no claim
     or right with respect thereto. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that
     the Stock Grant and Contingent Stock Grant are in lieu of any other stock
     option or stock incentive plans or programs that may be granted or extended
     to other executive officers of the Company during the first year of the
     Initial Term.

4.3 Investment.

    (1)  Executive understands that no prospectus, offering circular or other
         offering statement containing information with respect to the Company
         and the Common Stock or with respect to the Company's business is being
         issued and has made his own inquiry and analysis with respect to the
         Company, the Common Stock, the Company's business and other material
         factors affecting his investment in the Company Stock.

    (2)  The Common Stock was not offered to Executive by means of publicly
         disseminated advertisements or sales literature, or as a part of a
         general solicitation, nor is he aware of any offers made to other
         persons by such means.

    (3)  Executive acknowledges that he has either been supplied with or has had
         access to information to which a reasonable investor would attach
         significance in making investment decisions, and has had the
         opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from knowledgeable
         individuals concerning the Company, its business and the Common Stock
         so that as a reasonable investor, he has been able to make an informed
         decision to receive the Common Stock hereunder. In determining to
         proceed with this investment, Executive has relied solely on the
         results of his own independent investigation with respect to the Common
         Stock, the Company and upon the representations and statements of the
         Company set forth herein. Such representations and statements by the
         Company constitute the sole and exclusive representations, warranties,
         covenants and statements of the Company or any of its officers,
         directors, shareholders or other affiliates to Executive in connection
         with this investment, and Executive understands, acknowledges and
         agrees that all other representations, warranties, covenants and
         statements of any kind or nature, whether oral or contained in any
         writing other than this Separation Agreement are specifically
         disclaimed by the Company.

    (4)  Executive understands that the Common Stock (a) is not being registered
         (or, with respect to state securities or Blue Sky laws, otherwise
         qualified for sale) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
         "Act"), or under the securities or Blue Sky laws and regulations of any
         state including, without limitation, Section 10-5-5 of the Georgia

     securities market, (c) will not be readily marketable, and (d) cannot be
     sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered

     desired sale, and will bear a legend to that effect.

(5)  Executive is taking the Common Stock for his own account and not with a
     view to resale or other distribution thereof inconsistent with or in
     violation of the federal securities laws or the securities or Blue Sky laws
     of any state.  Executive is taking the Common Stock for his own account and
     not for the account of any other person or entity.  No other person or
     entity will have any interest, beneficial or otherwise, in the Common Stock
     except for Executive.  Executive is not obligated to transfer the Common
     Stock or any portion thereof to any other person or entity nor does
     Executive have any agreement or understanding to do so.

     the Common Stock, or any portion thereof, or to comply with any exemption
     available for the offer or sale of the Common Stock, or any portion
     thereof, without registration.

(7)  Executive acknowledges and agrees that he may not, directly or indirectly,
     sell, assign, pledge, give, subject to lien or security interest or
     otherwise dispose of or encumber (collectively, "Transfer") any of the
     Common Stock unless, prior to making any Transfer of any Common Stock
     (other than a Transfer to the Company), (a) he gives written notice to the
     Company describing the manner of such proposed disposition in reasonable
     detail and (b) he delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel acceptable
     to the Company to the effect that neither the sale nor the proposed
     transfer will result in any violation of applicable state securities laws,
     the Act or the securities law of any other jurisdiction.

(8)  Executive confirms that he has been advised that he should rely on his own
     professional accounting, tax, legal and financial advisors with respect to
     an investment in the Company and the Common Stock, and obtain, to the
     extent Executive deems necessary, such professional advice with respect to
     the risks inherent in an investment in the Common Stock and the suitability
     of an investment in the Common Stock in light of his financial condition

                   and investment needs. Executive further represents and
                   warrants that he is an Accredited Investor as such term is
                   defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.

                   liability or expense, including costs and reasonable
                   attorneys' fees, to which they may become subject or which
                   they may incur by reason of or in connection with any
                   misrepresentation Executive has made herein, any breach of
                   any of his representations or warranties made in this Section
                   4, or his failure to fulfill any of my covenants or
                   agreements herein.

     5.  Benefits.  The Executive shall be entitled to all benefits and

terms of such plans and any provisions, rules, regulations and laws applicable
to such plans.

     6.  Reimbursement for Business Expenses.  The Executive shall be reimbursed
         -----------------------------------
for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by him in the direct
performance of his duties during his employment with the Company pursuant to the

from time to time.  All requests for reimbursement shall be substantiated by
invoices and other pertinent data reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

     7.  Performance.  The Executive shall devote all of his working time and
         -----------
efforts to the business and affairs of the Company and to the diligent, faithful
and competent performance of the duties and responsibilities assigned to him
pursuant to this Agreement, except for vacations, weekends and holidays.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may render charitable, civic and

         ---------------------------------------------------------------
Solicitation.
------------

         8.1.  Confidential Information; Trade Secrets. As used in this
               ---------------------------------------
     Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" shall mean valuable, non-
     public, competitively sensitive data and information relating to the
     Company's business or the business of any entity affiliated with the
     Company, other than Trade Secrets (as defined below). "Confidential
     Information" shall include, among other things, information specifically
     designated as a

                                       6
<PAGE>

     Trade Secret that is, notwithstanding the designation, determined by a
     court of competent jurisdiction not to be a "trade secret" under applicable
     law. As used in this Agreement, the term "Trade Secrets" shall mean
     information or data of or about the Company or any entity affiliated with
     the Company, including, without limitation, technical or nontechnical data,
     formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques,

     lists of actual or potential customers or suppliers, that (i) derive
     economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and
     not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can
     obtain economic value from their disclosure or use; and (ii) are subject of
     efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain their
     secrecy. To the extent that the foregoing definition is inconsistent with a
     definition of "trade secret" under applicable law, the foregoing definition
     shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to render it consistent
     with applicable law.

       8.2.  Non-Disclosure.  The Executive will be exposed to Trade Secrets and
             --------------
     Confidential Information as a result of his employment by the Company as
     provided in this Agreement.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any
     unauthorized disclosure or use of any of the Trade Secrets or Confidential
     Information of the Company would be wrongful and would likely result in
     immediate and irreparable injury to the Company.  In consideration of the
     Executive's right to employment (or continued employment) under the terms
     of this Agreement, except as appropriate in connection with the performance
     of his obligations under this Agreement, the Executive shall not, without
     the express prior written consent of an officer of the Company other than
     the Executive, redistribute, market, publish, disclose or divulge to any
     other person or entity, or use or modify for use, directly or indirectly,
     in any way for any person or entity (i) any Confidential Information during
     the Term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years after the
     final date of the Term of this Agreement; and (ii) any Trade Secrets at any
     time (during or after the Term of this Agreement) during which such
     information or data shall continue to constitute a "trade secret" under
     applicable law.  The Executive agrees to cooperate with any reasonable
     confidentiality requirements of the Company.  The Executive shall
     immediately notify the Company or any unauthorized disclosure or use of any
     Trade Secrets or Confidential Information of which the Executive becomes
     aware.

       8.3.  Non-Competition.  The Executive shall not, either directly or
             ---------------
     indirectly, alone or in partnership, be connected or concerned with or
     participate in any other competing business or pursuit during any
     employment by the Company, except that the Executive may own up to three
     percent of the outstanding securities of a competing business the
     securities of which are registered with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission if such company is subject to the periodic reporting
     requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
     Act").

       8.4. Non-Solicitation. For a period of one (1) year immediately following
            ----------------

     solicit, or participate in any solicitation of, the customers, suppliers,
     Executives or representatives of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or
     affiliated companies) to breach any contract with

     the Company, terminate any relationship with the Company or leave the
     Company. For purposes of this Agreement, Customers shall be limited to

     or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company with whom the Executive has
     had substantial contact during the Term of this Agreement.

     the Company or any other agreement or arrangement.

         9.3  Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of
              -----
     employment is for "Cause" if the Executive has been convicted of a felony
     or a felony prosecution has been brought against the Executive or if the
     termination is evidenced by a resolution adopted in good faith by a
     majority of the Company's board of directors that the Executive (i)
     intentionally and continually failed substantially to perform his
     reasonably assigned duties with the Company (other than a failure resulting
     from the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness or from
     the Executive's assignment of duties that would constitute "Good Reason"
     (as hereinafter defined)) which failure continued for a period of at least
     thirty (30) days after a written notice of demand for substantial
     performance has been delivered to the Executive specifying the manner in
     which the Executive has failed substantially to perform, or (ii)
     intentionally engaged in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which results
     in material economic harm to the Company; provided, however, that no
                                               --------  -------
     termination of the Executive's employment shall be for Cause as set forth
     in clause (ii) above until (x) there shall have been delivered to the
     Executive a copy of a written notice setting forth that the Executive was
     guilty of the conduct set forth in clause (ii) and specifying the

     provided an opportunity to be heard in person by the Company's board of
     directors (with the assistance of the Executive's counsel if the Executive
     so desires). Any termination of the Executive's employment by the Company
     hereunder shall be deemed to be a termination other than for Cause unless
     it meets all requirements of this Section 9.3.

and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, and
the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) or assign, by agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had
taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement
prior to the effectiveness of any such succession or assignment shall be a
breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from

hereunder if his employment had been terminated pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof,
except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any
such succession or assignment becomes effective shall be deemed the Termination
Date hereunder. As used in the Agreement, Company shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore

die while any amounts would still be payable to him hereunder if he had
continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be
paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive's devise,
legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive's
estate.

     13.  Injunctive Relief.  The Company and the Executive agree that damages
          -----------------

of this Agreement, and that the Company, any successor to the business of the
Company or any permitted assignee of the Company shall be entitled to equitable
relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunction upon any breach of
