         entitled  to all  compensation  and  benefits  earned or accrued  under

         Employee  shall be deemed to have earned any Bonus payable with respect

         Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof, then, in addition to any

         (on the same basis as if  Employee  continued  to serve as an  employee
         hereunder for such  applicable  period).  All stock options  granted to
         Employee  pursuant to Section 4 hereof shall be governed in  accordance
         with Section 4.2 hereof upon termination of Employee's employment.

<PAGE>

                           (i) Base Salary.  Employee  will  continue to receive
                               -----------
                  his Salary as then in effect  (subject to  withholding  of all
                  applicable  taxes) for a period of  eighteen  (18) months from
                  his date of  termination  in the same  manner  as it was being
                  paid as of the date of termination.

                           (ii) Health, Dental and Life Insurance Coverage.  The
                                ------------------------------------------
                  health, dental and group term life insurance benefits coverage
                  provided  to  Employee  at his  date of  termination  shall be
                  continued  at the same level and in the same  manner as if his
                  employment under this Agreement had not terminated (subject to
                  the customary  changes in such coverages if Employee  retires,
                  reaches age 65 or similar  events),  beginning  on the date of
                  such  termination  and ending on the date eighteen (18) months
                  from the date of such  termination.  Any additional  coverages
                  Employee had at  termination,  including  dependent  coverage,
                  will also be continued  for such period on the same terms,  to
                  the extent permitted by the applicable  policies or contracts.
                  Any costs  Employee was paying for such  coverages at the time
                  of  termination  shall be paid by Employee  by separate  check
                  payable to the Company  each month in advance or by  reduction
                  of amounts owed to Employee by the  Employer.  If the terms of
                  any  benefit  plan  referred to in this  Section,  or the laws
                  applicable to such plan, do not permit continued participation
                  by Employee,  then the Company will arrange for other coverage
                  at its expense providing  substantially similar benefits.  The
                  coverages  provided  for in this  paragraph  shall be  applied
                  against  and  reduce  the  period  for  which  COBRA  will  be
                  provided.

                           (iii) Stock Options. Notwithstanding any provision in
                                 -------------
                  any option agreement, all outstanding stock options granted to
                  Employee by Employer or an affiliate of Employer  shall become
                  fully  vested  on  the  date  of  Employee's   termination  of
                  employment  and shall  remain  exercisable  as provided in the
                  applicable  option  agreement  or, if longer,  for a period of
                  three  (3)  years   following  the  date  of   termination  of
                  employment.  To the extent necessary,  this provision shall be
                  deemed  an  amendment  of any  option  agreement  between  the
                  Employee and the Employer or an affiliate of the Employer.

                           (iv)  Other  Benefits.  For a  period  of  18  months
                                 ---------------
                  following the date of Employee's  termination  of  Employment,
                  the  Employee  shall  continue to receive a car  allowance  as
                  provided in Section 3.1(c) of this Agreement and reimbursement
                  of club  membership dues as provided in Section 3.2(c) of this
                  Agreement.

                  (b)  If  Employee's  employment  hereunder  is  terminated  by
         Employee  pursuant  to Section  2(b)(iii)  hereof  other than for "Good
         Reason" as defined below, then, in addition to any other amount payable
         pursuant to Section 3.2(a),  the Employee shall be entitled to received
         the compensation and benefits set forth in subsections (i) through (iv)
         of Subsection  3.3(a)  above,  provided,  however,  that a period of 12
         months shall be  substituted  for 18 months in  subsections  3.3(a)(i),
         (ii) and (iv).

                  outstanding  securities,  and a Change in Control shall not be
                  deemed to occur solely  because fifty percent (50%) or more of

                  is owned  directly or  indirectly by the  shareholders  of the

                  or  consolidation  do  not,  as a  result  of such  merger  or

                  outstanding  voting  securities of the  corporation  resulting
                  from such merger or consolidation  in  substantially  the same
                  proportion as their  ownership of the combined voting power of
                  the voting securities of the Employer outstanding  immediately
                  before  such  merger  or  consolidation,  or  (2)  a  complete

                           (iii) A change in the  composition  of the Board such
                  that the  individuals  who, as of the date of this  Agreement,

                  to  as  the  "Incumbent   Board")  cease  for  any  reason  to
                  constitute  at  least  a  majority  of  the  Board;  provided,
                  however,  for purposes of this Section that any individual who
                  becomes a member of the Board subsequent to the Effective Date
                  whose  election,  or nomination for election by the Employer's
                  shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of
                  those  individuals  who are  members of the Board and who were

                  circumstance  which is not covered by (i) through  (iii) above
                  which the Board determines  affects control of the Company and

                  constitutes  a Change  in  Control  for the  purposes  of this
                  Agreement.

         such act or failure to act is corrected  within 30 days after notice by
         the Employee to the Employer of the act or failure to act:

                  status of  Employee's  responsibilities  at the Employer  from
                  those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;

                           (ii)  a  substantial  reduction  by  the  Employer in
                  Employee's Base Salary;

                           (iii)  the relocation of Employee's  principal office
                  to a place more than 50 miles from Atlanta, Georgia;

                           (iv) the  failure  by the  Employer  to  continue  in
                  effect any  compensation  or benefit  plan or program in which
                  Employee  participates  immediately  prior  to the  Change  in
                  Control,  which is material to Employee's total  compensation,
                  unless  an  equitable  arrangement  (embodied  in  an  ongoing
                  substitute or alternative  plan) has been made with respect to
                  such plan,  or the failure by the  Employer  to  continue  the
                  Employee's  participation  in such plan (or in such substitute
                  or alternative plan) on a basis not materially less favorable,
                  both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level
                  of Employee's participation relative to other participants, as
                  existed at the time of the Change in Control.

                  The Employee's  right to terminate the  Employee's  employment
         for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Employee's  incapacity due
         to physical or mental illness, except for a total disability as defined
         in  Section 2 above.  The  Employee's  continued  employment  shall not
         constitute  consent to, or a waiver of rights with  respect to, any act
         or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder.

         Section 4     Stock Options.
         ---------     -------------

         4.1 Term of  Employment.  So that Employee can share in the increase in
             -------------------
value of the  business of Employer  over time,  Employee  will be granted  stock
options as follows:

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

                  (a)  Option Grant.  Effective  as of May 9, 2000,  Employee is
                       ------------
         hereby  granted a stock  option to  purchase  100,000  shares of common
         stock of Employer at an  exercise  price equal to the closing  price of
         the common stock on May 8, 2000, which closing price is $6-3/16.  Fifty
         percent  of the  option  grant will  become  exercisable  on the second
         anniversary of the date of grant with twenty-five percent of the option
         becoming  exercisable on each of the third and fourth  anniversaries of
         the date of the grant.  The options  granted under this Section  4.1(a)
         will  expire  ten  years  from the date of grant,  except as  otherwise
         provided in Section 4.2.

                  In  addition,  Employee  will be  granted  a stock  option  to
         purchase  180,000 shares of common stock of Employer's newly formed (or
         to be formed)  e-commerce  business currently referred to as Return.com
         at an  exercise  of $.35 per share.  Twenty-five  percent of the option
         will become exercisable on each of the first,  second, third and fourth
         anniversaries of the date of the grant. If this entity remains private,
         Employer and Employee  will seek a mutually  reasonable  means to value
         such options and to provide liquidity to Employee.

                  (b) Sale or Merger.  All options granted to Employee  pursuant
                      --------------
         to this  Agreement  will become fully  exercisable if a majority of the
         Employer is sold (or all or substantially all of the assets of Employer
         are sold) (by stock sale, merger or otherwise) to a third party.

                  (c) Stock Splits and Stock Dividends.  The number of shares of
                      --------------------------------
         common stock  issuable upon exercise of options  granted hereby and the
         exercise  price of such  options  shall be  automatically  adjusted  to
         reflect  any  change in the  capitalization  of  Employer  due to stock
         dividends or stock splits.  If any adjustment  under this Section would
         create the right of  Employee to acquire a  fractional  share of stock,
         such fractional  share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of
         common stock  subject to the options  shall be the next lower number of
         whole shares of common stock, rounding all fractions downward.

         4.2  Termination of Employment.  The grant of stock options to Employee
              -------------------------
under this Agreement shall not restrict or in any manner affect Employer's right
to terminate the employment of Employee at any time,  with or without cause,  as
herein  provided.  If Employee's  employment  is terminated  pursuant to Section
2(b)(i) hereof or if Employee's employment is terminated by Employer pursuant to
Section  2(b)(iii),  all options granted to Employee  pursuant to Section 4.1(a)
hereof shall immediately become  exercisable upon such termination.  In the case
of a termination  pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof, the options will expire in
accordance with their respective  scheduled expiration dates. Except as provided
in Section  3.3, in the case of a  termination  by Employer  pursuant to Section
2(b)(iii)  hereof,  the options will expire on the first  anniversary  after the
effective date of the termination of Employee's employment  hereunder.  Upon the
death of Employee,  any options  that  Employee  would  otherwise be entitled to
exercise hereunder may be exercised by his personal representatives or heirs, as
applicable.  Except as provided  in Section  3.3, if  Employee's  employment  is
terminated by Employer  pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii) or by Employee  pursuant to
Section  2(b)(iii),  those options which are  exercisable as of the date of such

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

termination  shall be exercisable for a period of 90 days after such termination
(and all other options not then exercisable shall be forfeited as of such date),
and after such 90-day period, all unexercised options will expire.

         4.3 Exercise. The options granted under Section 4.1 may be exercised by
             --------
Employee  upon five  business  days'  written  notice of exercise  to  Employer,
specifying  the number of shares to be purchased and the total  purchase  price,
accompanied  by a check to the order of Employer,  in the payment of such price.
The exercise price of the options  granted under Section 4.1 shall be payable in
cash only.  If  Employer  is  required  to withhold on account of any present or
future  tax  imposed as result of any option  exercise,  the notice of  exercise
shall be  accompanied  by a check to the order of  Employer  for  payment of the
amount of such withholding.

         4.4  Nontransferable.  No option  granted  under  Section  4.1 shall be
              ---------------
transferable  by  Employee  other  than by will or by the  laws of  descent  and
distribution,  and the options  granted under  Section 4.1 shall be  exercisable
during Employee's lifetime only by Employee.  The options shall not be otherwise
transferred,  assigned, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way, whether
by operation of law or otherwise.
