         WHEREAS, Executive and the Company are parties to a previous employment

         WHEREAS, Executive and the Company desire to replace the previous
employment agreement.

         WHEREAS, Executive and the Company want to enter into a written
agreement providing for the terms of Executive's employment by the Company.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recital and of the
mutual covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree
as follows:

         1.       Employment. Executive agrees to [enter into the continued
employment of] [continue his employment by] the Company, and the Company agrees
to employ Executive, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Executive agrees during the term of this Agreement to devote substantially all

business.

                  Executive's initial job title will be _______________ and his
duties will be those as are designated by the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. Executive further agrees to serve, without additional compensation, as
an officer or director, or both, of any subsidiary, division or affiliate of the
Company or any other entity in which the Company holds an equity interest,
provided, however, that (a) the Company shall indemnify Executive from
liabilities in connection with serving in any such position to the same extent
as his indemnification rights pursuant to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, By-laws and applicable Delaware law, and (b) such other position
shall not materially detract from the responsibilities of Executive pursuant to
this Section 1 or his ability to perform such responsibilities.

         2.       Compensation.

                  (a)      Base Salary. During the term of Executive's
employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall pay to
Executive as compensation for

<PAGE>   2

his services an annual base salary of not less than $__________ ("Base Salary").
Executive's Base Salary will be payable in arrears in accordance with the
Company's normal payroll procedures and will be reviewed annually and subject to
upward adjustment at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer.

                  (b)      Incentive Bonus. During the term of Executive's
employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement, Executive's incentive
compensation program shall be determined by the Company in its discretion with a
target bonus equal to __% of Base Salary.

                  (c)      Executive Perquisites. During the term of Executive's
employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement, Executive shall be
entitled to receive such executive perquisites and fringe benefits as are
provided to the executives in comparable positions and their families under any
of the Company's plans and/or programs in effect from time to time and such
other benefits as are customarily available to executives of the Company and
their families, including without limitation vacations and life, medical and
disability insurance.

                  (d)      Tax Withholding. The Company has the right to deduct
from any compensation payable to Executive under this Agreement social security
(FICA) taxes and all federal, state, municipal or other such taxes or charges as
may now be in effect or that may hereafter be enacted or required.

                  (e)      Expense Reimbursements. The Company shall pay or
reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred or paid by
Executive in the course of performing his duties hereunder, including but not
limited to reasonable travel expenses for Executive. As a condition to such
payment or reimbursement, however, Executive shall maintain and provide to the
Company reasonable documentation and receipts for such expenses.

         3.       Term. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4 of this
Agreement, and subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, the term of this
Agreement shall commence as of the date hereof and shall continue until five
years from the date hereof.

         4.       Termination. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3
hereof, but subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, Executive's
employment under this Agreement shall terminate as follows:

                  (a)      Death. Executive's employment shall terminate upon
the death of Executive; provided, however, that the Company shall continue to
pay (in accordance with its normal payroll procedures) the Base Salary to
Executive's estate for a period of three months after the date of Executive's
death.

                  (b)      Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate
Executive's employment at any time for "Cause" (as hereinafter defined) by
delivering a written termination notice to Executive. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Cause" shall mean any of: (i) Executive's conviction of a felony or
a crime involving moral turpitude; (ii) Executive's commission of an act
constituting fraud, deceit or material misrepresentation with respect to the
Company; (iii)

<PAGE>   3

Executive's embezzlement of funds or assets from the Company; (iv) Executive's
addiction to any alcoholic, controlled or illegal substance or drug; (v)
Executive's commission of any act or omission which would give the Company the
right to terminate Executive's employment under applicable law; or (vi)
Executive's failure to correct or cure any material breach of or default under
this Agreement within ten days after receiving written notice of such breach or
default from the Company.

                  (c)      Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate
Executive's employment at any time by delivering a written termination notice to
Executive.

                  (d)      Termination by Executive. Executive may terminate his
employment at any time by delivering ninety days prior written notice to the
Company; provided, however, that the terms, conditions and benefits specified in
Section 5 hereof shall apply or be payable to Executive only if such termination
occurs as a result of a material breach by the Company of any provision of this
Agreement.

                  (e)      Termination Following Disability. In the event
Executive becomes mentally or physically impaired or disabled and is unable to
perform his material duties and responsibilities hereunder for a period of at
least ninety days in the aggregate during any one hundred twenty consecutive day
period, the Company may terminate Executive's employment by delivering a written
termination notice to Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall
continue to receive his full salary and benefits under this Agreement for a
period of six months after the effective date of such termination.

                  (f)      Payments. Following any expiration or termination of
this Agreement or Executive's employment hereunder, and in addition to any
amounts owed pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company shall pay to Executive
all amounts earned by Executive hereunder prior to the date of such expiration
or termination.

         5.       Certain Termination Benefits. Subject to Section 6(a) hereof,
in the event (i) the Company terminates Executive's employment without cause
pursuant to Section 4(c) or (ii) Executive terminates his employment pursuant to
Section 4(d):

                  (a)      Base Salary and Bonus. The Company shall continue to
pay to Executive his Base Salary (as in effect as of the date of such
termination) and bonus (calculated on a pro rata basis based upon the assumption
that Executive would have fulfilled the requirements to earn his target bonus)
that would have been payable hereunder to Executive from the date of such
termination for a period of twelve months following the termination.

                  (b)      Stock. Subject to Section 10 hereof, on and as of the
effective date of the termination of employment, all of Executive's outstanding
stock options and restricted stock grants under the Company's stock option and

Executive with group and additional life insurance coverage for a period of
twelve months following termination.

                  (d)      Medical Insurance. The Company shall continue to

                  (f)      Support. Executive shall be entitled to retain the

Company; provided, however, that Executive shall be responsible for the payment
of all of his cellular telephone bills.

                  (g)      Offset. Any fringe benefits received by Executive in
connection with any other employment that are reasonably comparable, but not
necessarily as beneficial, to Executive as the fringe benefits then being
provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 5, shall be deemed to be the
equivalent of, and shall terminate the Company's responsibility to continue
providing, the fringe benefits then being provided by the Company pursuant to
this Section 5. The Company acknowledges that if Executive's employment with the
Company is terminated, Executive shall have no duty to mitigate damages.

                  (h)      General Release. Acceptance by Executive of any
amounts pursuant to this Section 5 shall constitute a full and complete release
by Executive of any and all claims Executive may have against the Company, its
officers, directors and affiliates, including, but not limited to, claims he
might have relating to Executive's cessation of employment with the Company;
provided, however, that there may properly be excluded from the scope of such
general release the following:

                           (i)      claims that Executive may have against the
                  Company for reimbursement of ordinary and necessary business
                  expenses incurred by him during the course of his employment;

                           (ii)     claims that may be made by the Executive for
                  payment of Base Salary, fringe benefits or stock options
                  properly due to him; or

                           (iii)    claims respecting matters for which the
                  Executive is entitled to be indemnified under the Company's
                  Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, respecting third party
                  claims asserted or third party litigation pending or
                  threatened against the Executive.

                                       4

A condition to Executive's receipt of any amounts pursuant to this Section 5
shall be Executive's execution and delivery of a general release as described
above. In exchange for such release, the Company shall, if Executive's

with respect to claims against Executive which are actually known to the Company
as of the time of such termination.

         6.       Effect of Change in Control.

holders of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the merger have the
same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation
immediately after the merger, or (2) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer
(in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or
substantially all, of the assets of the Company; or (ii) the stockholders of the
Company approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the
Company; or (iii) any person ( as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and

Act")), shall become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act) of 30% of the Company's outstanding common stock (other
than AT&T Corporation or one of their subsidiaries); or (iv) during any period
of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period
constitute the entire board of directors of the Company shall cease for any
reason to constitute a majority thereof unless the election, or the nomination
for election by the Company's stockholders, of each new director was approved by
a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were
directors at the beginning of the period.

                  (c)      "Good Reason" shall mean any of the following actions
taken by the Company without the Executive's written consent after a Change of
Control:

                           (i)      the assignment to the Executive by the

                  the Executive's position, duties, responsibilities and status
                  with the Company immediately prior to a Change of Control or
                  Potential Change of Control (as defined below), or an adverse
                  change in Executive's titles or offices as in effect
                  immediately prior to a Change of Control or Potential Change
                  of Control, or any removal of the Executive from or any
                  failure to re-elect Executive to any of such positions, except
                  in connection with the termination of his employment for
                  Disability or Cause or as a result of Executive's death except
                  to the extent that a change in duties relates to the
                  elimination of responsibilities attendant to the Company's no
                  longer being a publicly traded company;

                           (ii)     A reduction by the Company in the
                  Executive's Base Salary as in effect on the date of a Change
                  of Control or Potential Change of Control, or as the same may
                  be increased from time to time during the term of his
                  Agreement;

                           (iii)    The Company shall require the Executive to
                  be based anywhere other than at the Company's principal
                  executive offices or the location where the Executive is based
                  on the date of a Change of Control or Potential Change of
                  Control, or if Executive agrees to such relocation, the
                  Company fails to reimburse the Executive for moving and all
                  other expenses reasonably incurred with such move;

                           (iv)     The Company shall fail to continue in effect
                  any Company-sponsored plan or benefit that is in effect on the
                  date of a Change of Control or Potential Change of Control,
                  that provides (A) incentive or bonus compensation, (B) fringe
                  benefits such as vacation, medical benefits, life insurance
                  and accident insurance, (C) reimbursement for reasonable
                  expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the
                  performance of duties with the Company, or (D) pension
                  benefits such as a Code Section 401(k) plan, except to the
                  extent that such plans taken as a whole are replaced with
                  substantially comparable plans;

                           (vi)     Any material breach by the Company of any
                  provision of this Agreement; and

                           (vii)    Any failure by the Company to obtain the
                  assumption of this Agreement by any successor or assign of the
                  Company effected in accordance with the provisions of Section
                  6.

                  (d)      "Potential Change of Control" shall mean the date as
of which (1) the Company enters into an agreement the consummation of which, or
the approval by shareholders of which, would constitute a Change of Control;
(ii) proxies for the election of Directors of the Company are solicited by
anyone other than the Company; (iii) any person (including, but not limited to,
any individual, partnership, joint venture, corporation, association or trust)
publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which, if
consummated, would constitute a Change of Control; or (iv) any other event
occurs which is deemed to be a Potential

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

Change of Control by the Board and the Board adopts a resolution to the effect
that a Potential Change of Control has occurred.

                  (e)      In the event that (i) Executive would otherwise be
entitled to the compensation and benefits described in Section 6(a) hereof
("Compensation Payments"), and (ii) the Company determines, based upon the
advice of tax counsel selected by the Company's independent auditors and
acceptable to Executive, that, as a result of such Compensation Payments and any
other benefits or payments required to be taken into account under Code Section
280G(b)(2) ("Parachute Payments"), any of such Parachute Payments would be
reportable by the Company as "excess parachute payments", such Compensation
Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary to cause Executive's Parachute
Payments to equal 2.99 times the "base amount" as defined in Code Section
280G(b)(3) with respect to such Executive. However, such reduction in the
Compensation Payments shall be made only if, in the opinion of such tax counsel,
it would result in a larger Parachute Payment to the Executive than payment of
the unreduced Parachute Payments after deduction of tax imposed on and payable
by the Executive under Section 4999 of the Code ("Excise Tax"). The value of any
non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit for purposes of this
paragraph shall be determined by the Company's independent auditors.

                  (f)      The parties hereto agree that the payments provided
under Section 6(a) above, as the case may be, are reasonable compensation in
light of Executive's services rendered to the Company and that neither party
shall contest the payment of such benefits as constituting an "excess parachute
payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code.

                  (g)      Unless the Company determines that any Parachute
Payments made hereunder must be reported as "excess parachute payments" in
accordance with Section 6(e) above, neither party shall file any return taking
the position that the payment of such benefits constitutes an "excess parachute
payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code.

         7.       Non-Competition. Executive agrees that during the term of this
Agreement and for a period of four months from the date of the termination of
Executive's employment with the Company pursuant to Sections 4(b), 4(c), 4(d),
4(e) or 6 herein or for any other reason that results in the Executive being
entitled to the benefits described in Section 5, he will not, directly or
indirectly, compete with the Company by providing to any company that is in a
"Competing Business" services substantially similar to the services provided by
Executive at the time of termination. Competing Business shall be defined as any
business that engages, in whole or in part, in the _______________ in the United
States, and Executive's employment function or affiliation is directly or
indirectly in such business of _______________.

         8.       Nonsolicitation of Employees. For a period of two years after
the termination or cessation of his employment with the Company for any reason
whatsoever, Executive shall not, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other
person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity, solicit or in
any manner attempt to influence or induce any employee of the Company or its
subsidiaries or affiliates (known by the Executive to be such) to leave the
employment of the

                                       7

Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, nor shall he use or disclose to any
person, partnership, association, corporation or other entity any information
obtained while an employee of the Company concerning the names and addresses of
the Company's employees.

         9.       Nondisclosure of Trade Secrets. During the term of this
Agreement, Executive will have access to and become familiar with various trade
secrets and proprietary and confidential information of the Company, its
subsidiaries and affiliates, including, but not limited to, processes, computer
programs, compilations of information, records, sales procedures, customer
requirements, pricing techniques, customer lists, methods of doing business and
other confidential information (collectively, referred to as "Trade Secrets")
which are owned by the Company, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates and regularly
used in the operation of its business, and as to which the Company, its
subsidiaries and/or affiliates take precautions to prevent dissemination to
persons other than certain directors, officers and employees. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the Trade Secrets (1) are secret and not known in
the industry; (2) give the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates an
advantage over competitors who do not know or use the Trade Secrets; (3) are of
such value and nature as to make it reasonable and necessary to protect and
preserve the confidentiality and secrecy of the Trade Secrets; and (4) are
valuable, special and unique assets of the Company or its subsidiaries or
affiliates, the disclosure of which could cause substantial injury and loss of
profits and goodwill to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. Executive
may not use in any way or disclose any of the Trade Secrets, directly or
indirectly, either during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter,
except as required in the course of his employment under this Agreement, if
required in connection with a judicial or administrative proceeding, or if the
information becomes public knowledge other than as a result of an unauthorized
disclosure by the Executive. All files, records, documents, information, data
and similar items relating to the business of the Company, whether prepared by
Executive or otherwise coming into his possession, will remain the exclusive
property of the Company and may not be removed from the premises of the Company
under any circumstances without the prior written consent of the Board (except
in the ordinary course of business during Executive's period of active
employment under this Agreement), and in any event must be promptly delivered to
the Company upon termination of Executive's employment with the Company.
Executive agrees that upon his receipt of any subpoena, process or other request
to produce or divulge, directly or indirectly, any Trade Secrets to any entity,
agency, tribunal or person, Executive shall timely notify and promptly hand
deliver a copy of the subpoena, process or other request to the Board. For this
purpose, Executive irrevocably nominates and appoints the Company (including any
attorney retained by the Company), as his true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to
act in Executive's name, place and stead to perform any act that Executive might
perform to defend and protect against any disclosure of any Trade Secrets.

         10.      Return of Profits. In the event that Executive violates any of
the provisions of Sections 7, 8 or 9 hereof or fails to provide the notice
required by Section 4(d) hereof, the Company shall be entitled to receive from
Executive the profits, if any, received by Executive upon exercise of any
Company granted stock options or stock appreciation rights or upon lapse of the
restrictions on any grant of restricted stock to the extent such options or
rights were exercised, or such restrictions lapsed, subsequent to six months
prior to the termination of Executive's employment.

         11.      Severability. The parties hereto intend all provisions of
Sections 7, 8, 9 and 10 hereof to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by
law. Accordingly, should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the
scope of any provision of Sections 7, 8, 9 or 10 hereof is too broad to be
enforced as written, the parties intend that the court reform the provision to
such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable. In
addition, however, Executive agrees that the nonsolicitation and nondisclosure
agreements set forth above each constitute separate agreements independently
supported by good and adequate consideration shall be severable from the other
provisions of, and shall survive, this Agreement. The existence of any claim or
cause of action of Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this
Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the
Company of the covenants of Executive contained in the nonsolicitation and
nondisclosure agreements. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during
the term hereof, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement
shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision never constituted a part of this Agreement; and the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not
be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its
severance herefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision, there shall be added as part of this Agreement, a
provision as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or enforceable
provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

         12.      Arbitration - Exclusive Remedy.

                  (a)      The parties agree that the exclusive remedy or method
of resolving all disputes or questions arising out of or relating to this
Agreement shall be arbitration. Arbitration shall be held in Atlanta, Georgia by
three arbitrators, one to be appointed by the Company, a second to be appointed
by Executive, and a third to be appointed by those two arbitrators. The third
arbitrator shall act as chairman. Any arbitration may be initiated by either
party by written notice ("Arbitration Notice") to the other party specifying the
subject of the requested arbitration and appointing that party's arbitrator.

                  (b)      If (i) the non-initiating party fails to appoint an
arbitrator by written notice to the initiating party within ten days after the
Arbitration Notice, or (ii) the two arbitrators appointed by the parties fail to
appoint a third arbitrator within ten days after the date of the appointment of
the second arbitrator, then the American Arbitration Association, upon
application of the initiating party, shall appoint an arbitrator to fill that
position.

                  (c)      The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. A
determination or award made or approved by at least two of the arbitrators shall
be the valid and binding action of the arbitrators. The costs of arbitration
(exclusive of the expense of a party in obtaining and presenting evidence and
attending the arbitration and of the fees and expenses of legal counsel to a
party, all of which shall be borne by that party) shall be borne by the Company
only if Executive receives substantially the relief sought by him in the
arbitration, whether by settlement, award or

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

judgment; otherwise, the costs shall be borne equally between the parties. The
arbitration determination or award shall be final and conclusive on the parties,
and judgment upon such award may be entered and enforced in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
