                                  divine, inc.

                             Data Return Corporation
                           Stock Option Plan Agreement

Explanatory Note
----------------

     On January 9, 2002, divine, inc., a Delaware corporation ("divine")
acquired Data Return Corporation ("Data Return") in a stock-for-stock merger
with Data Return surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of divine (the
"Merger"). In connection with the Merger, each common share, par value $0.001
per share, of Data Return has been converted into the right to receive 1.9876
shares of divine class A common stock. Each outstanding and unexercised option
to purchase common shares of Data Return under the Data Return Corporation Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") has been assumed by divine and was converted into an
option to purchase a number of shares of divine class A common stock equal to
the number of Data Return common shares subject to the option multiplied by the
exchange ratio in the Merger (1.9876) at an exercise price equal to the original
exercise price of the option divided by that exchange ratio.

     Other than as set forth in the paragraph above, the rights and obligations
of each holder of Data Return options granted pursuant to this agreement remain
in full force and effect.

Incentive Option may be exercised over a period commencing on the grant date and
ending 10 years from the grant date in accordance with the vesting schedule set
forth on Schedule A attached hereto.
         ----------

     5.   Manner of Exercise. This Incentive Option may be exercised by written
          ------------------
notice signed by the person entitled to exercise same and delivered to the
Secretary of divine or sent by United States registered mail addressed to divine
(for the attention of the Secretary) at its corporate office in Chicago,
Illinois. Such notice shall state the number of shares of Common Stock as to
which the Incentive Option is exercised and shall be accompanied by the full
amount of the purchase price of such shares.

     6.   Payment. The purchase price for the Incentive Option shares shall be
          -------
paid in cash.

     7.   Delivery of Shares. Delivery of the certificates representing the

shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Incentive Option shall be
made promptly after receipt of notice of exercise and payment. If divine so
elects, its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of
this Incentive Option shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the person
exercising this Incentive Option of an executed investment letter, in form and
content satisfactory to divine and its legal counsel, evidencing the investment
intent of such person and such other matters as divine may reasonably require.
If divine so elects, the certificate or certificates representing the shares of
Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Incentive Option shall bear a legend
in substantially the following form:

     THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT
     AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF l933 OR APPLICABLE
     STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS
     SUCH SHARES ARE FIRST REGISTERED THEREUNDER OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES
     A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH OPINION AND COUNSEL ARE ACCEPTABLE TO
     THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION THEREUNDER IS NOT REQUIRED.

     8.   Adjustments. In the event that, before delivery by divine of all the
          -----------
shares of Common Stock with respect to which this Incentive Option is granted,
divine shall have effected a Common Stock split or dividend payable in Common
Stock, or the outstanding Common Stock of divine shall have been combined into a
smaller number of shares, the shares of Common Stock still subject to this
Incentive Option shall be increased or decreased to reflect proportionately the
increase or decrease in the number of shares outstanding, and the purchase price
per share shall be decreased or increased to make the aggregate purchase price
for all the shares then subject to this Incentive Option the same as immediately
prior to such stock split, stock dividend, or combination. In the event of a
reclassification of the shares of Common Stock not covered by the foregoing, or
in the event of a liquidation or reorganization (including a merger,
consolidation, spinoff, or sale of assets) of divine or an Affiliate, the Board
shall make such adjustments, if any, as it may deem appropriate in the number,
purchase price and kind of shares still subject to this Incentive Option.
