                                  divine, inc.

                               Eprise Corporation
                              Amended and Restated
                             1997 Stock Option Grant
                            (Incentive Stock Options)

        (Eprise Corporation Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan)

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

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 17, 2001,
Eprise Corporation (formerly known as Inner Circle Technologies, Inc.)
("Eprise") became a wholly owned subsidiary of divine, inc., a Delaware
Corporation ("divine"). divine assumed the outstanding options from the Eprise
Corporation Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). Each
outstanding option to purchase shares of Eprise common stock with an exercise
price that, when divided by 2.4233, was greater than $0.59, being the closing
sale price of divine class A common stock on the trading day immediately prior
to the effective time of the merger, became exercisable, at an exercise price of
$0.59, for a number of shares of divine class A common stock equal to the number
of shares of Eprise common stock subject to the Eprise option. Each outstanding
Eprise option with an exercise price that, when divided by 2.4233, was less than
or equal to $0.59, became exercisable, at an exercise price equal to the
exercise price of the Eprise option divided by 2.4233, for a number of shares of
divine class A common stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of
Eprise common stock subject to such Eprise option by 2.4233.

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

                                    Preamble
                                    --------

         This incentive stock option (the "Option), is granted as of
_____________, ____ (the "Date of Grant"), by divine to
_____________________________ (the "Optionee"), an individual who renders
important services to divine or a parent or subsidiary of divine and, if the
Option is an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Code (as defined in Section 14) (an "Incentive Option"), is a key employee (as
hereinafter defined) of divine.

1.       Shares Subject to Option

         Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, divine hereby grants to the
Optionee an Option to purchase ___________________ shares (the "Optioned
Shares") of its class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common
Stock") at a price of $____ per share (the "Option Price"), in accordance with
and subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and subject to

<PAGE>

the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The Plan and any amendments are
hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof.

2.       Term and Exercise of Option

         Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, or in this Option, the Option
shall terminate at the close of business ten years from the Date of Grant (the
"Expiration Date") and may be exercised only by the Optionee or, to the extent
provided in Section 3(c) hereof, by the Optionee's legal representative.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee is determined to be mentally
incompetent and a guardian or conservator (or other similar person) is appointed
by a court of competent jurisdiction to manage the Optionee's affairs, such
appointee may exercise the Option on behalf of the Optionee to the extent that
the Optionee could have exercised the Option at such time.

         While the Option is effective and the Optionee continues to render
Service (as hereinafter defined), the Optioned Shares shall become available for
purchase by the Optionee in installments ("Vested Installments") on the
following dates:

                Date                            Number of Shares
                ----                            ----------------

        [First anniversary of hire/grant date]  [25% of total Optioned Shares]
        [Every 3 months thereafter]             [6.25% of total Optioned Shares]


         Unpurchased portions of Vested Installments may be accumulated and
subsequently purchased by the Optionee.

         Written notice of the exercise of the Option or any portion thereof
shall be given to divine specifying the number of Optioned Shares for which the
Option is exercised and accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price. The
Option Price of each share purchased shall be paid (a) in cash, (b) by check,
(c) by Immediate Sales Proceeds, as defined below, (d) by delivery or deemed
delivery of other shares of divine's Common Stock owned by the Optionee (i)
which have a fair market value (as determined by the Committee) equal to the
Option Price of the Optioned Shares to be purchased and (ii) which have been
owned by the Optionee (or other person(s) exercising the Optionee's rights under
the Plan) for at least six months prior to the date of delivery or deemed
delivery of such shares (or such other period as may be required to avoid a
charge to divine's earnings) or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from
divine and are acceptable to the Committee, or (e) in any combination of the
permitted forms of payment. If, however, the Committee established pursuant to
Section 4 of the Plan (the "Committee") determines in good faith that an
exercise of an Option through the delivery of shares of divine's Common Stock is
not in the best interest of divine, the Committee may withhold the right to so
exercise the Option and require payment of the purchase price by one or more of
the other permitted methods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Option may not
be exercised by payment with Immediate Sales Proceeds or by delivery and
assignment to divine of shares of

                                       2

<PAGE>

divine's Common Stock to the extent that such payment or such delivery and
assignment would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, or related
regulation or rule, or any agreement or policy of divine, restricting the
transfer or redemption of divine's stock.

         As used herein, the term "Immediate Sales Proceeds" shall mean the
assignment in form acceptable to divine of the proceeds of a sale of the
Optioned Shares acquired on the exercise of this Option pursuant to a procedure
approved by the Committee. The Committee reserves the right to decline to
approve any such procedure in the Committee's sole and absolute discretion.

         As used herein, the term "deemed delivery" of shares shall mean the
offset by divine of a number of shares subject to the Option against an equal
number of shares of divine's Common Stock owned by the Optionee, which may be
accomplished by attestation by the Optionee as to such shares owned. If the
Option is an Incentive Option, divine must be furnished with evidence
satisfactory to it prior to such payment that the acquisition of such shares and
their transfer in payment of the exercise price satisfy the requirements of
Section 422 of the Code and other applicable laws.

         If the Option is not an Incentive Option, then in addition to payment
of the Option Price for each Optioned Share purchased, the Optionee shall pay
the amount of federal, state and local withholding taxes determined by the
Committee (or by the Committee's designate) to be owing with respect to the
compensation income that the Optionee will realize upon each Share purchased.
The Optionee may elect to satisfy such withholding obligations, in whole or in
part, (a) by delivering to divine a check for the amount required to be withheld
or (b) through the surrender (by actual or deemed delivery) of shares of
divine's Common Stock owned by the Optionee (i) which have a fair market value
(as determined by the Committee) equal to the amount required to be withheld and
(ii) which have been owned by the Optionee (or other person(s) exercising the
Optionee's rights under the Plan) for at least six months prior to the date of
delivery or deemed delivery of such shares (or such other period as may be
required to avoid a charge to divine's earnings) or were not acquired, directly
or indirectly, from divine and are acceptable to the Committee, or (c) to the
extent of the minimum applicable federal and state withholding rates only,
through the surrender of shares of divine's Common Stock to which the
participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan, subject to the discretion of
the Committee to require payment in cash if it determines that payment by other
methods is not in the best interests of divine.

         divine, upon fulfillment of the requirements for exercise, including
receipt of the payment of the Option Price and all applicable withholding taxes,
shall deliver the Optioned Shares purchased hereunder to the Optionee.

         This Option shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the
extent not previously exercised) on the last day the Option is exercisable if
the Option would have a before-tax value of at least $200,000 to the Optionee
upon exercise on such date. Such deemed exercise shall be subject to payment in
full of the exercise price (and all applicable withholding taxes) by any of the
methods permitted in this Option, but subject to the discretion of divine to
require payment in cash if it determines that payment by other methods is not in
the best interests of divine.

                                       3

<PAGE>
3.       Terms and Conditions of Exercise

         Each exercise and purchase of Optioned Shares pursuant to the Option
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions (in addition to those set
forth elsewhere in this Option):

         a) Except as provided herein or in paragraphs (b) and (c) below, the
Optionee shall have rendered continuous Service (and, if this is an Incentive
Option, shall have been an Employee of divine) from the Date of Grant until the
date of exercise. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Optionee's
Service is involuntarily terminated by divine and the Committee determines that
such termination was not in any degree caused by the Optionee's conduct or
performance, the Optionee may purchase in whole or in part within three months
after such termination of Service Optioned Shares that were Vested Installments
on Optionee's termination date, provided that the Expiration Date of the Option
as to such Shares purchased shall not have occurred prior to the time that the
Option is exercised.

         b) If the Optionee ceases to render Service because of Disability (as
hereinafter defined), the Optionee may at any time within a period of twelve
months after the date of such cessation of Service exercise the Option as to
Optioned Shares that were Vested Installments on the date of such cessation and
provided that the Expiration Date of the Option as to the Optioned Shares shall
not have occurred prior to the time that the Option is exercised.

         c) If the Optionee ceases to render Service because of death, then his
legal representative or the person or persons to whom his rights under the
Option shall pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution
shall be entitled within twelve months after the date of his death to exercise
the Option as to Optioned Shares that were Vested Installments on the date of
Optionee's death and provided that the Expiration Date of the Option as to the
Optioned Shares purchased shall not have occurred prior to the time that the
Option is exercised.

         d) The Optionee shall hold the Optioned Shares for investment and not
with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any public distribution of
such Shares, and if requested, shall deliver to divine appropriate certificates
to that effect. This restriction shall terminate upon the registration of such
Shares under federal and state securities laws or if, in the opinion of counsel
for divine, such Shares may be resold without registration.

         e) In the event that divine, upon the advice of counsel, deems it
necessary to list upon official notice of issuance any shares to be issued
pursuant to the Plan on a national securities exchange or to register under the
Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable federal or state statute any shares
to be issued pursuant to the Plan, or to qualify any such shares for exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 under the Rules
and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or for similar
exemption under state law, then divine shall notify the Optionee to that effect
and no Optioned Shares shall be issued until such registration, listing or
exemption has been obtained. divine shall make prompt application for any such
registration, listing or exemption pursuant to federal or state law or rules of
such securities exchange which it deems necessary and shall make reasonable
efforts to cause such registration, listing or exemption to become and remain
effective.

                                       4

<PAGE>

     f)   divine will furnish upon request of the Optionee copies of the
certificate of incorporation of divine, as amended, and bylaws of divine, as
amended, and such publicly available financial and other information concerning
divine and its business and prospects as may be reasonably requested by the
Optionee in connection with exercise of this Option.

     g)   The Optionee shall comply with all terms and conditions of the Plan (a
copy of which is attached hereto) and of this Option. All decisions under, and
interpretations of, the provisions of the Plan and of this Option by the Board
(as hereinafter defined) or by the Committee shall be final, binding and
conclusive upon the Optionee and anyone claiming through the Optionee.

     h)   If the Optionee is an employee of divine and his or her Service is
terminated for "Misconduct" (as defined in the Plan), this Option shall
terminate on the date of such termination of employment with respect to any
Optioned Shares which have become exercisable in a Vested Installment during the
period commencing on the date which is six months prior to the date upon which
such Misconduct is determined by the Board to have commenced or occurred and
this Option shall thereupon not be exercisable to the extent of such
termination.

4.   Option Non-Transferable

     This Option may not be transferred by the Optionee or by operation of law
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if this Option is not an Incentive Option, the restrictions on
transfer in this Section 4 shall not apply to a gratuitous transfer of this
Option to a Permitted Transferee, as defined below. Upon such a gratuitous
transfer of this Option in accordance with this Section 4, the transferee or
transferees shall have the right to exercise this Option to the same extent the
Optionee would have had if the transfer had not been made. Except to the extent
specifically provided in Section 2 or 3 or this Section 4, this Option may be
exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee.

     As used herein, a "Permitted Transferee" of an Optionee shall mean (i) any
child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former
spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law,
son-in-law, sister-in-law or brother-in-law (including adoptive relationships),
any person sharing the Optionee's household (other than a tenant or an
employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent of the
beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the Optionee)
control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons
(or the Optionee) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests or (ii)
the beneficial owner of the shares for which the Optionee acts as trustee.

     In the event of any transfer to a Permitted Transferee, the Optionee shall
deliver prompt written notice of such transfer to divine.

                                        5

<PAGE>

5.   Right to Terminate

     Nothing contained in the Plan or this Option shall restrict the right of
divine to terminate the employment of the Optionee or other Service by the
Optionee at any time and for any reason, with or without notice.

6.   Change in Control

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Option grant
(but subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Plan), upon the occurrence
of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 12 of the Plan) of divine, the
Optioned Shares that would have become Vested Installments within the first year
following the date of such Change in Control shall be accelerated and vest
immediately on the date of such Change in Control.

7.   Suspension of Options Prior to a Dissolution, Reorganization, Etc.

     Prior to any dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, or
reorganization of divine as to which divine will not be the surviving
corporation, or the sale or exchange of substantially all of the Common Stock or
the sale of substantially all of the assets of divine (the "Event"), the Board
or the Committee may decide to terminate each outstanding Option, solely as to
unpurchased Optioned Shares. If the Board or the Committee so decides, each
Option (including this Option) shall terminate as of the effective date of the
Event, but the Board or the Committee shall suspend the exercise of all
outstanding Options a reasonable time prior to the Event, giving each Optionee
not less than fourteen days written notice of the date of suspension, prior to
which date an Optionee may purchase in whole or in part the Optioned Shares that
are Vested Installments as of the date of purchase. If the Event is not
consummated, the suspension shall be removed and all Options shall continue in
full force and effect, subject to the terms thereof.

8.   Adjustment in Shares

     Appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Committee in the number, kind
and Option Price of the Optioned Shares covered by this Option to give effect to
any stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, recapitalizations and
other similar changes in the capital structure of divine after the Date of Grant
of the Option. In the event of a change of the Common Stock resulting from a
merger or similar reorganization as to which divine is the surviving
corporation, the number, kind and Option Price of the Optioned Shares covered by
this Option shall be appropriately adjusted in such manner as the Committee
shall deem equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted
hereunder.

9.   Restrictions on Transfer of Stock

     The shares of stock issued on exercise of the Option shall be subject to
any restrictions on transfer then in effect pursuant to the certificate of
incorporation or by-laws of divine and to any other restrictions or provisions
attached hereto and made a part hereof or set forth in any other contract or
agreement binding on the Optionee.

                                        6

<PAGE>

10.  Optionee's Status as a Stockholder

     The Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the
Optioned Shares until the exercise of the Option and the issuance of a stock
certificate for the Optioned Shares with respect to which the Option shall have
been exercised.

11.  Notice Concerning Acquisition or Disposition of Shares

     If divine is subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act") at the time an Option granted hereby is exercised or
the Optioned Shares purchased under the Option are sold, the Optionee may be
subject (upon such exercise or sale and/or upon purchases or sales of the Common
Stock within six months before or after any such exercise or sale) to the
requirements, restrictions and sanctions of said Section 16(b) and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder unless the Plan and this Option have been put
into compliance with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any
applicable successor rule) and the Optionee complies with all applicable
requirements of said Rule 16b-3. Optionees should assume that the Plan and this
Option do not comply with Rule 16b-3 unless specifically informed otherwise by
divine in writing.

12.  Notice Concerning Tax Matters

     divine makes no representation about the tax treatment to the Optionee with
respect to the receipt or exercise of the Option or the acquisition, holding, or
disposition of the Optioned Shares.

     If the Option is an Incentive Option, any disposition by the Optionee of
Optioned Shares purchased under the Option within two years from the Date of
Grant or within one year after their transfer to the Optionee will deprive the
Optionee of certain tax benefits with respect to the Optioned Shares which might
otherwise be available. If the Option is an Incentive Option, the acquisition by
the Optionee of Optioned Shares may subject the Optionee to imposition of the
federal "alternative minimum tax."

     If the Option is not an Incentive Option, the Optionee will recognize
compensation income for regular federal income tax purposes on the date the
Option is exercised in the amount by which the fair market value of the Optioned
Shares on the date of exercise exceeds the Option Price. The Optionee must remit
to divine all applicable federal, state and local withholding taxes with respect
to the compensation income recognized on the Optioned Shares.

     The Optionee is urged to consult a professional tax adviser of his or her
choosing for advice as to the tax consequences (including the application of
Section 83 of the Code to Options that are not Incentive Options and the
application of the "alternative minimum tax" rules of the Code to Incentive
Options) of receiving or exercising an Option or of holding or selling Optioned
Shares purchased under the Option.

<PAGE>

13.  Lock-Up Agreement

     The Optionee agrees that the Optionee will not, for such period following
the effective date of divine's initial distribution of securities in an
underwritten offering to the general public pursuant to a registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as the managing underwriter of
such offering shall reasonably request, but in any event not to exceed 180 days,
directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell or otherwise dispose of divine's
securities other than any securities which are included in such initial public
offering.
