                        INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                          LIGHTNING ROD SOFTWARE, INC.
                           2000 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


     THIS AGREEMENT, made effective as of this ____ day of ____________, ______,
by and between Lightning Rod Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and __________________ ("Participant").


                              W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, Participant on the date hereof is an employee of the Company or
one of its Subsidiaries; and

     WHEREAS, the Company wishes to grant to the Participant an incentive stock
option to purchase shares of its Common Stock pursuant to the Company's 2000
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"); and

     WHEREAS, on the date hereof, the Company's Board of Directors authorized
the grant of this nonqualified stock option to the Participant;

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

     1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to Participant on the date
set forth above (the "Date of Grant"), the right and option (the "Option") to
purchase all or portions of an aggregate of _______________________
(___________) shares of Common Stock (the "Option Stock") at a per share price
of $_______ on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and subject only to
adjustment in such number of shares as provided in Paragraph 4(c) below. This
Option is intended to be an incentive stock option, as defined under Section
422, or any successor provision, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and the regulations thereunder, to the extent permitted
under Code Section 422(d).

     2. Duration and Exercisability.

          a. General. The term during which this Option may be exercised shall
     terminate on the close of business on the _____ day of __________, 20___,
     except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 2(b) through 2(e) below. This
     Option shall be exercisable as follows:
<PAGE>

            Vesting Date                         Percentage of Shares
            ------------                         --------------------




     Once the Option becomes exercisable to the extent of one hundred percent
     (100%) of the aggregate number of shares of Option Stock, Participant may
     continue to exercise this Option under the terms and conditions of this
     Agreement until the termination of the Option as provided herein. If
     Participant does not purchase upon an exercise of this Option the full
     number of shares which Participant is then entitled to purchase,
     Participant may purchase upon any subsequent exercise prior to this
     Option's termination such previously unpurchased shares in addition to
     those Participant is otherwise entitled to purchase.

          b. Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a
     "change in control" as defined in Section 2.02 of the Plan, this Option
     shall immediately become exercisable to the extent of one hundred percent
     (100%) of the aggregate number of shares of Option Stock specified in
     Paragraph 1.

          c. Termination of Relationship (other than Retirement, Disability or
     Death). If Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or any
     Subsidiary for any reason other than retirement, disability or death, but
     including, without limitation, termination following a change of control,
     this Option shall completely terminate on the earlier of (i) the close of
     business on the three-month anniversary date of such termination of
     employment, and (ii) the expiration date of this Option stated in Paragraph
     2(a) above. In such period following Participant's termination of
     employment, this Option shall be exercisable only to the extent the Option
     was exercisable on the vesting date immediately preceding the date on which
     Participant's employment with the Company or Subsidiary has terminated, but
     had not previously been exercised, except as otherwise set forth in
     Paragraph 2(b). To the extent this Option was not exercisable upon the
     Participant's termination of employment, or if Participant does not
     exercise the Option within the time specified in this Paragraph 2(c), all
     rights of Participant under this Option shall be forfeited.

          d. Disability. If Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company
     or any Subsidiary because of retirement or disability, as such terms are
     defined in Section 2.02 of the Plan, this Option shall completely terminate
     on the earlier of (i) the close of business on the two-year anniversary
     date of such termination of employment, and (ii) the expiration date of
     this Option stated in Paragraph 2(a) above. In such period following such
     termination, this Option shall be exercisable to the extent of 100% of the
     shares of Option Stock specified in Paragraph 1, less any shares purchased
     on any previous exercise. If Participant does not exercise the Option
     within the time specified in this Paragraph 2(d), all rights of Participant
     under this Option shall be forfeited. If


                                       2
<PAGE>

     Participant exercises this Option on a date that is after the three-month
     anniversary of the termination of Participant's employment, this Option
     shall not be treated as an incentive stock option within the meaning of
     Code Section 422.

          e. Death. In the event of Participant's death, this Option shall
     completely terminate on the earlier of (i) the close of business on the
     two-year anniversary date of Participant's date of death, and (ii) the
     expiration date of this Option stated in Paragraph 2(a) above. In such
     period following such termination, this Option shall be exercisable by the
     person or persons to whom Participant's rights under this Option have
     passed pursuant to Section 14.03 of the Plan to the extent of 100% of the
     shares of Option Stock specified in Paragraph 1, less any shares purchased
     on any previous exercise. If such person or persons fail to exercise this
     Option within the time specified in this Paragraph 2(e), all rights under
     this Option shall be forfeited.

     3. Manner of Exercise.

          a. General. The Option may be exercised only by Participant(or other
     proper party in the event of death or incapacity), subject to such other
     administrative rules as the Board of Directors of the Company may deem
     advisable, by delivering within the option period written notice of
     exercise to the Company at its principal office. The notice shall state the
     number of shares of Option Stock as to which the Option is being exercised
     and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the option price for all
     shares designated in the notice. The exercise of the Option shall be deemed
     effective upon receipt of such notice by the Company and upon payment that
     complies with the terms of this Agreement. The Option may be exercised with
     respect to any number or all of the shares of Option Stock as to which it
     can then be exercised and, if partially exercised, may be exercised as to
     the unexercised shares any number of times during the option period as
     provided herein.

          b. Form of Payment. Subject to the approval of the Committee, payment
     of the option price by Participant may be made in any form permitted under
     Article VII of the Plan, including but not limited to cash, personal check,
     certified check or previously acquired shares of Common Stock of the
     Company. Any stock so tendered as part of such payment shall be valued at
     its Fair Market Value as determined by the Board in its sole discretion by
     applying principles of valuation with respect to the Option. For purposes
     of this Agreement, "previously acquired shares of Common Stock" shall
     include shares of Common Stock that are already owned by Participant at the
     time of exercise.

          c. Stock Transfer Records. As soon as practicable after the effective
     exercise of all or any part of the Option, Participant shall be recorded on
     the stock transfer books of the Company as the owner of the shares
     purchased, and the Company shall deliver to Participant one or more duly
     issued stock certificates evidencing such ownership. All requisite original
     issue or transfer documentary stamp taxes shall be paid by the Company.

     4. Miscellaneous.

          a. Rights as Shareholder. This Agreement shall not confer on
     Participant any right with respect to the continuance of any relationship
     with the Company or any of its


                                       3
<PAGE>

     Subsidiaries, nor will it interfere in any way with the right of the
     Company to terminate any such relationship. Participant shall have no
     rights as a shareholder with respect to shares subject to this Option until
     such shares have been issued to Participant upon exercise of this Option.
     No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary,
     whether in cash, securities or other property), distributions or other
     rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are
     issued, except as provided in Paragraph 4(c) below.

          b. Securities Law Compliance. The exercise of all or any parts of this
     Option shall only be effective at such time as counsel to the Company shall
     have determined that the issuance and delivery of Common Stock pursuant to
     such exercise will not violate any state or federal securities or other
     laws. Participant may be required by the Company, as a condition of the
     effectiveness of any exercise of this Option, to agree in writing that (i)
     all Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to such exercise shall be held for
     Participant's own account without a view to any further distribution
     thereof, until such time that such Common Stock is registered or freely
     tradable under applicable state and federal securities laws, or proposed to
     be sold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of such
     laws, which exempt status shall be confirmed by an opinion of counsel to
     Participant (such opinion and counsel shall be satisfactory in all respects
     to counsel for the Company), and (ii) such shares will not in any event be
     actually transferred or disposed of except in compliance with applicable
     state and federal securities laws.

          c. Mergers, Recapitalizations, Stock Splits, Etc. Pursuant and subject
     to Article IX of the Plan, certain changes in the number or character of
     the Common Stock of the Company (through sale, merger, consolidation,
     exchange, reorganization, divestiture (including a spin-off), liquidation,
     recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) shall result in
     an adjustment, reduction or enlargement, as appropriate, in Participant's
     rights with respect to any unexercised portion of the Option (i.e.,
     Participant shall have such "anti-dilution" rights under the Option with
     respect to such events, but shall not have "preemptive" rights).

          d. Shares Reserved. The Company shall at all times during the option
     period reserve and keep available such number of shares as will be
     sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement.

          e. Withholding Taxes on Disqualifying Disposition. In the event of a
     disqualifying disposition (as defined in Code Section 424) of all or any
     portion of the shares acquired through the exercise of this Option,
     Participant shall, within ten (10) days thereof, inform the Company of such
     disposition. Upon notice of a disqualifying disposition, the Company may
     take such action as it deems appropriate to insure that, if necessary to
     comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations,
     all applicable federal and state payroll, income or other taxes are
     withheld from any amounts payable by the Company to Participant. If the
     Company is unable to withhold such federal and state taxes, for whatever
     reason, Participant shall immediately pay to the Company an amount equal to
     the amount the Company would otherwise be required to withhold under
     federal or state law. Participant may, subject to the approval and
     discretion of the Committee or such administrative rules it may deem
     advisable, elect to have all or a portion of such tax withholding
     obligations satisfied by delivering shares of the Company's Common Stock or
     by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Option Stock otherwise
     issuable to Participant. Such shares shall have a Fair Market Value (as
     defined in Section 2.02 of the Plan) equal to the


                                       4
<PAGE>

     minimum required tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory
     withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll
     taxes, that are applicable to the supplemental income resulting from the
     disqualifying disposition of the shares acquired through the exercise of
     this Option. In no event may the Company withhold shares having a Fair
     Market Value in excess of such statutory minimum required tax withholding.

          f. Nontransferability. During the lifetime of Participant, the accrued
     Option shall be exercisable only by Participant or by the Participant's
     guardian or other legal representative, and shall not be assignable or
     transferable by Participant, in whole or in part, other than by will or by
     the laws of descent and distribution.

          g. Lockup Period Limitation. Participant agrees that in the event the
     Company advises Participant that it plans an underwritten public offering
     of its Common Stock in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as
     amended, and that the underwriter(s) seek to impose restrictions under
     which certain shareholders may not sell or contract to sell or grant any
     option to buy or otherwise dispose of part or all of their stock purchase
     rights of the underlying Common Stock, Participant hereby agrees that for a
     period not to exceed 180 days from the prospectus, Participant will not
     sell or contract to sell or grant an option to buy or otherwise dispose of
     this option or any of the underlying shares of Option Stock without the
     prior written consent of the underwriter(s) or its representative(s).

          h. Blue Sky Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
     the contrary, in the event the Company makes any public offering of its
     securities and determines in its sole discretion that it is necessary to
     reduce the number of issued but unexercised stock purchase rights so as to
     comply with any state securities or Blue Sky law limitations with respect
     thereto, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the right (i) to
     accelerate the exercisability of this Option and the date on which this
     Option must be exercised, provided that the Company gives Participant15
     days' prior written notice of such acceleration, and (ii) to cancel any
     portion of this Option or any other option granted to Participant which is
     not exercised prior to or contemporaneously with such public offering.
     Notice shall be deemed given when delivered personally or when deposited in
     the United States mail, first class postage prepaid and addressed to
     Participant at the address of Participant on file with the Company.

          i. Accounting Compliance. Participant agrees that, if a merger,
     reorganization, liquidation or other "transaction" as defined in Paragraph
     4(c) is treated as a "pooling of interests" under generally accepted
     accounting principles and Participant is an "affiliate" of the Company or
     any Subsidiary (as defined in applicable legal and accounting principles)
     at the time of such transaction, Participant will comply with all
     requirements of Rule 145 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
     requirements of such other legal or accounting principles, and will execute
     any documents necessary to ensure such compliance.

          j. Stock Legend. The Board of Directors of the Company may require
     that the certificates for any shares of Common Stock purchased by
     Participant(or, in the case of death, Participant's successors) shall bear
     an appropriate legend to reflect the restrictions of Paragraph 4(b) and
     Paragraphs 4(g) through 4(i) of this Agreement.

          k. 2000 Stock Option Plan. The Option evidenced by this Agreement is
     granted pursuant to the Plan, a copy of which Plan has been made available
     to Participant and is hereby incorporated into this Agreement. This
     Agreement is subject to and in all respects limited and conditioned as
     provided in the Plan. The Plan governs this Option and, in the event of any
     questions as to the construction of this Agreement or in the event of a
     conflict between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern, except
     as the Plan otherwise provides.

          l. Scope of Agreement. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the
     benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns and Participant and
     any successor or successors of Participant permitted by Paragraph 2 or
     Paragraph 4(f) above.

          m. Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this
     Agreement or the alleged breach of it, or the making of this Agreement,
     including claims of fraud in the inducement, shall be discussed between the
     disputing parties in a good faith effort to arrive at a mutual settlement
     of any such controversy. If, notwithstanding, such dispute cannot be
     resolved, such dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration. Judgment
     upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court
     having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall be a retired state or
     federal judge or an attorney who has practiced securities or business
     litigation for at least 10 years. If the parties cannot agree on an
     arbitrator within 20 days, any party may request that the chief judge of
     the District Court for Hennepin County, Minnesota, select an arbitrator.
     Arbitration will be conducted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
     and the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration
     Association, unless such rules are inconsistent with the provisions of this
     Agreement. Limited civil discovery shall be permitted for the production of
     documents and taking of depositions. Unresolved discovery disputes may be
     brought to the attention of the arbitrator who may dispose of such dispute.
     The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that
     a court of this state could order or grant; provided, however, that
     punitive or exemplary damages shall not be awarded. The arbitrator may
     award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrator, all
     of its costs and fees, including the arbitrator's fees, administrative
     fees, travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys'
     fees. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the place of any arbitration
     proceedings shall be Hennepin County, Minnesota.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed on the day and year first above written.
