STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of this
___ day of ______________, ____ by and between MegaMarketing Corporation, a
Georgia corporation ("Company"), and the undersigned optionee ("Optionee").
Recitals
(1) Optionee is a director of the Company.
(2) The Company has adopted an agreement and policy to grant options to
its outside directors and in accordance with the agreement the Company and
Optionee desire to enter into a written agreement with respect to the grant of
options to the Optionee.
To encourage stock ownership, and also in consideration of the mutual
covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement agree as
follows.
1. Grant of Option. Subject to the terms, restrictions, limitations and
---------------
conditions stated in this Agreement, Company grants to Optionee, not in lieu of
salary or other compensation, the right and option (the "Option") to purchase
all or any part of the number of shares of Company's Common Stock, without par
value (the "Stock"), described on Schedule A attached to this Agreement and
----------
incorporated into this Agreement by reference ("Schedule A"). The Option shall
----------
be exercisable in the amounts and at the times specified on Schedule A. The
----------
Option shall expire and shall not be exercisable on or after the date specified
on Schedule A or on such earlier date as determined pursuant to Section 7 or 8
----------
of this Agreement.
2. Purchase Price. The price per share to be paid by Optionee for the
--------------
shares subject to this Option (the "Exercise Price") shall be as specified on
Schedule A.
3. Exercise Terms. Optionee must exercise the Option for
--------------
at least the lesser of 10,000 shares or the number of shares of the Stock as to
which the Option remains unexercised.
If this Option is not exercised with respect to all or any part of the shares
subject to this Option prior to its expiration, the shares with respect to which
this Option was not exercised shall no longer be subject to this Option.
4. Option Non-Transferable. No Option shall be transferable by Optionee
-----------------------
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code or
in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or the rules and
regulations promulgated under such Code or such Act). During the lifetime of
Optionee, Options shall be exercisable only by such Optionee (or by such
Optionee's guardian or legal representative, should one be appointed).
5. Notice of Exercise of Option. This Option may be exercised by
----------------------------
Optionee, or by Optionee's administrators, executors or personal
representatives, by a written notice (in substantially the form of the Notice of
Exercise attached to this Agreement as Schedule B) signed by Optionee, or by
such administrators, executors or personal representatives, and delivered or
mailed to Company as specified in Section 11 of this Agreement to the attention
of the President or such other officer as Company may designate. Any such notice
shall (a) specify the number of shares of Stock which Optionee or Optionee's
administrators, executors or personal representatives, as the case may be, then
elects to purchase under this Agreement, (b) contain such information as may be
reasonably required pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement, and (c) be
accompanied by a certified or cashier's check payable to Company in payment of
the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares as provided in this
Agreement. Upon receipt of any such notice and accompanying payment, and subject
to the terms of this Agreement, Company agrees to issue to Optionee or
Optionee's administrators, executors or personal representatives, as the case
may be, stock certificates for the number of shares specified in such notice
registered in the name of the person exercising this Option.
6. Adjustment in Option.
--------------------
(a) If (1) the outstanding shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged
for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of Company by
reason of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, combination or exchange of shares, or stock split or stock
dividend, or (2) any spin-off, spin-out or other distribution of assets
materially affects the price of Company's stock, then Company shall
proportionately adjust the rights of Optionee concerning the number of shares
subject to the Option and the Exercise Price.
(b) Upon the adoption of a plan of dissolution or liquidation of Company,
the Option shall terminate to the extent not exercised prior to the adoption of
the plan of dissolution or liquidation by the shareholders, provided that
Company may declare the Option to be exercisable at any time on or before the
fifth business day following such adoption notwithstanding the provisions of
this Agreement regarding exercisability.
(c) The adjustments described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, and the
manner of their application, shall be determined solely by the Board of
Directors of Company, and any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of
fractional share interests. The adjustments required
under this Section 6 shall apply to any successors of Company and shall be made
regardless of the number or type of successive events requiring such
adjustments.
7. Disabled Optionee. Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule A, in
----------------- ----------
the event of Optionee's disability that renders Optionee incapable of performing
Optionee's duties as a director for more than one hundred twenty (120) calendar
days, Optionee (or his or her personal representative) may exercise this Option,
within a period ending on the earlier of (a) the last day of the one year period
following Optionee's disability or (b) the expiration date of this Option, to
the extent of the number of shares which were purchasable under this Agreement
at the date of such termination.

be exercised by the appropriate persons described in Section 5 of this Agreement
or persons to whom all or a portion of this Option is transferred in accordance
with Section 5 of this Agreement only to the extent of the number of shares
covered by this Option which were purchasable under this Agreement at the date
of such termination.
9. Date of Grant. This Option was granted by the Board of Directors of
-------------
Company on the date set forth in Schedule A (the "Date of Grant").

----------------------------------
issuance of capital stock of Company is subject to limitations imposed by
federal and state law, and Optionee hereby agrees that Company shall not be
obligated to issue any shares of Stock upon exercise of this Option that would
cause Company to violate law or any rule, regulation, order or consent decree of
any regulatory authority (including without limitation the Securities and
Exchange Commission) having jurisdiction over the affairs of Company. Optionee
agrees that Optionee will provide Company with such information as is reasonably
requested by Company or its counsel to determine whether the issuance of Stock
complies with the provisions described by this Section 10.
