                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, the Optionholder is an employee of the Company; and

         WHEREAS,  the  Company  desires  to  compensate  the  Optionholder  for

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual covenants,  conditions
and premises  contained herein,  the parties hereto agree,  subject to the terms
and conditions herein, as follows:

         1. THE OPTION GRANT.

              (a) The Company  hereby  grants,  subject to vesting  described in

portion of any year.

              (c) The Option shall be exercisable for a period of ten (10) years
from the date hereof;  provided however, that in the event that the Optionholder
ceases to be employed by the Company,  for any reason  whatsoever,  then vesting

shall terminate 90 days following the date of such termination,  or resignation,
as the case may be, and the Optionholder shall have no further rights under this
Option Agreement.

         2. METHOD OF EXERCISE.  The Option may be exercised in whole or in part
in  accordance  with the  provisions  of this  Agreement  by the  Optionholder's
tendering the Exercise Price (or a  proportionate  part thereof if the Option is
partially exercised) in immediately available funds. The Company shall cooperate
to the extent reasonably  possible with the Optionholder in an exercise pursuant
to which all or part of the Option Shares will be sold  simultaneously  with the

irrevocably  instructed to remit the proceeds from the exercise of the Option to
the Company upon settlement of the sale of the underlying Option Shares.

         The Optionee  may  exercise  part or all of the Option by tender to the
Company of a written notice of exercise  together with advice of the delivery of
an order to a broker to sell part or all of the Option  Shares,  subject to such

Shares to pay the Exercise Price and any withholding  taxes.  All  documentation
and  procedures  to be followed in  connection  with such a "cashless  exercise"
shall be approved in advance by the Company.

         3.  STOCKHOLDER  RIGHTS.  Neither the Optionholder nor any other person
legally  entitled to exercise  the Option shall be entitled to any of the rights
or privileges of a stockbroker  of the Company with respect to any Option Shares
issuable  upon any  exercise  of the  Option  unless  and  until  the  Option is
exercised.

         4. NO WAIVER.  The failure of any of the parties  hereto to enforce any

         THIS OPTION  AGREEMENT  (the  "Agreement")  dated as of the 31st day of
December, 1996 by and between Computer Marketplace, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(hereinafter the "Company"), and the "Optionholder").

exemplary services rendered and to provide the Optionholder with an incentive to

         WHEREAS,  the Company would like to grant to the Optionholder an option
(the  "Option")  to acquire  shares of common  stock of the Company (the "Option
Shares"), pursuant to the terms herein.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual covenants,  conditions
and premises  contained herein,  the parties hereto agree,  subject to the terms
and conditions herein, as follows:

         1.    THE OPTION GRANT.

               (a)  Upon  the  execution  hereof,  the  Company  grants  to  the
Optionholder  the right and option to purchase Option Shares (or ________ option
shares following the  contemplated one for six reverse stock split),  at a price
(the  "Exercise  Price") of $.1667 per share (or $1.00 per share  following  the
contemplated 1-for-6 reverse stock split).

<PAGE>

               (b) The  Option  shall be  exercisable  for a period  of four (4)
years  from  the date  hereof;  provided  however,  that in the  event  that the
Optionholder  ceases to be  employed  by, or retained  as a  consultant  to, the
Company,  for any reason whatsoever,  then this Option Agreement shall terminate
90 days following the date of such termination,  or resignation, as the case may
be,  and the  Optionholder  shall  have no  further  rights  under  this  Option
Agreement.

         2.    METHOD OF EXERCISE. The exercise by an Optionholder of the rights
granted  hereunder  shall be by means of a notice of  exercise  (the  "Notice of
Exercise") delivered to the Company specifying the number of Option Shares to be
purchased. Within five (5) days of receiving the Notice of Exercise, the Company

Shares issued pursuant to such option shall be fully paid and  nonassessable and

registered public offering) through a broker-dealer registered with the National
Association of Securities  Dealers and such a broker-dealer is given irrevocable
instructions to transfer the aggregate  Exercise Price to the Company upon sales
of the Option Shares, this Option may be exercised by the Optionholder.

legally  entitled to exercise  the Option shall be entitled to any of the rights
or privileges of a stockholder  of the Company with respect to any Option Shares
issuable  upon any  exercise  of the  Option  unless  and  until  the  Option is
exercised.
