satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 2 hereof, Genuine Parts
Company (the "Company") hereby agrees to award to Tom Gallagher ("Grantee"),
under its 1992 Stock Option and Incentive Plan ("Plan"), up to a maximum of
Fifty Thousand (50,000) shares of its Common Stock, such shares to be awarded
to Grantee as Restricted Stock pursuant to the terms of the Plan and this

Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
Grantee shall have no rights as a shareholder of Company with respect to any of
the shares of Common Stock subject hereto prior to the awarding of such shares
pursuant to Section 2 below.

       2.      Conditions for Award of Restricted Stock.
               (a)      A maximum of 25,000 shares of Restricted Stock will be
awarded to Grantee if the Company's Common Stock achieves specified target
prices (the "Stock Price Targets").  The Company will be deemed to have
achieved a Stock Price Target, and shares of Restricted Stock will be awarded
to the Grantee, on the date on which the average Fair Market Value (as defined
in the Plan) of the Common Stock over a period of twenty consecutive trading
days (days on which shares of Company Common Stock are actually traded on the
New York
   2



Stock Exchange) first equals or exceeds the Stock Price Target (the "Stock
Price Award Dates").
       The Grantee will be awarded the following number of shares of Restricted
Stock on the Stock Price Award Dates upon the Company's achievement of the
following Stock Price Targets:

               (b)      A maximum of 25,000 shares of Restricted Stock will be
awarded to Grantee if the Company achieves certain earnings per share targets
(the "EPS Targets").  The Company's earnings per share ("EPS") shall be deemed
to be the Company's "net income per common share" as reported in the Company's
annual audited consolidated financial statements.  The determination of whether
the Company has achieved the EPS Targets, and the award of shares of Restricted
Stock to the Grantee based thereon, shall be made immediately upon the
conclusion of the annual audit closing conference with the Company's
independent auditor's if such auditors have provided to Company management at
that conference an unqualified opinion on the Company's fiscal year end audited
consolidated financial statements (the "EPS Award Dates").
               The Grantee will be awarded the following number of shares of
Restricted Stock on the EPS Award Dates upon the Company's achievement during
fiscal years 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 of the following EPS Targets:

to such Termination shall be forfeited by the Grantee to the Company without
the payment of any consideration by the Company, and (iii) all unissued shares
of Common Stock reserved for issuance to Grantee pursuant to Section 14 hereof
shall be released from such reservation.  In such event, neither the Grantee
nor any successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives of the Grantee
shall thereafter have any further rights or interest in such shares, and the
Grantee's name shall thereupon be deleted from the list of the Company's
shareholders with respect to such shares.

any consideration by the Company, and (ii) the Restricted Period to which any
shares of Restricted Stock awarded to the Grantee under Section 2 are subject
shall expire as of the date of the Change in Control or Grantee's Retirement,
Disability or death.  In such event, the Company shall release from escrow and
deliver to the Grantee or the legal representative of the Grantee, as
appropriate, the certificate(s) representing the relevant Restricted Stock free

       10.  Committee Acceleration Power.  Notwithstanding any other provisions
of the Plan or this Agreement, the Committee shall be authorized in its
discretion, based upon its review and evaluation of the performance of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, to accelerate the release to the Grantee of
Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement upon such terms and conditions as
the Committee may deem advisable.

       11.  Federal Income Tax Matters.  The Grantee, upon award of the shares
of Restricted Stock under Section 2, shall be authorized to make an election to
be taxed upon such award under Section 83(b) of the Code.  To effect such
election, the Grantee may file an appropriate election with the Internal
Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after such awards of the Restricted
Stock hereunder and otherwise in accordance with applicable Treasury
Regulations.

       The Grantee recognizes that, pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Plan, the
Company may require the Grantee to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to
satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax liability in connection
with the agreement to award, award of, or release from escrow of the shares of
Restricted Stock granted hereunder.

       12.  Continued Employment Not Presumed.  Neither (i) the Plan, (ii) the
agreement to award, award or vesting of Restricted Stock under this Agreement
nor (iii) this Agreement, shall give Grantee a right to continued employment by
the Company or its Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company and its
Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of Grantee with or without cause.

       13.  Grantee's Covenant.  The Grantee hereby agrees to use his or her
best efforts to provide services to the Company in a workmanlike manner and to

pursuant to Section 8 or Section 9 hereof, then such unissued shares of Common
Stock shall no longer be reserved for issuance pursuant to this Agreement.

       15.  Plan Controls.  In the event of any actual or alleged conflict
between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the
provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative.

the Company, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.
