                                  divine, inc.

                               Eprise Corporation
            2000 Non-employee ("Eligible") Director Stock Option Plan
                            (Forward Vested Options)

                         Eligible Director Option Grant

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 2000 Non-Employee Director 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.

     This non-incentive stock option (the "Option"), granted as of _________
___, 20___ (the "Grant Date") is granted by divine to __________________ (the
"Optionee"), a non-employee director of Eprise. Capitalized terms used and not
defined herein shall have the respective meanings defined in the Plan.

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

<PAGE>

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
"Term") and may be exercised only by the Optionee or, to the extent provided in
Sections 4(c) or 5 hereof, by his or her legal representative or transferee.

     [For Initial Grants: So long as the Optionee continues to provide service
as an Eligible Director, this Option shall vest and become exercisable in three
equal annual installments (each, a "Vested Installment"), beginning on the first
anniversary of the Grant Date and on each of the two subsequent anniversaries of
the Grant Date, such that this Option shall be vested and exercisable in full on
the third anniversary of the Grant Date.] [For Annual Grants: So long as the
Optionee continues to provide service as an Eligible Director, this Option shall
become fully exercisable on the first anniversary of the Grant Date.]

     This Option may be exercised from time to time, in whole or in part, during
the period and to the extent that it is then exercisable, by payment of the
Option Price of each share purchased. The Option Price of each share purchased
shall be paid in cash, or by delivery or deemed delivery of other shares of
divine's Common Stock owned by the Optionee with a fair market value equal to
the exercise price of the Optioned Shares to be purchased, or by withholding by
divine of the number of shares of its Common Stock otherwise issuable upon
exercise of the installment with a fair market value equal to the exercise price
of the Optioned Shares (including such withheld shares) to be purchased, or by
delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker promptly to pay to divine the
exercise price of the Optioned Shares to be purchased, or in any combination of
the forms of payment. For purposes of this Option, a deemed delivery of shares
shall mean the offset by divine of a number of Optioned Shares against an equal
number of shares of divine's Common Stock owned by the Optionee, which may be
accomplished by attestation by the Optionee, in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, as to such shares owned. If, however, the Committee established
---------
pursuant to the Plan determines in good faith that an exercise of an Option
through the delivery or deemed delivery or withholding of shares of divine's
Common Stock or through delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker 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 in cash.

     divine, upon fulfillment of the requirements for exercise, including
receipt of the payment of the purchase price, shall deliver the shares purchased
hereunder to the Option holder (or, if there are multiple holders, to each
holder in accordance with his, her or its respective interest). Notwithstanding
any such delivery of shares, the Optionee and each Option holder other than the
Optionee shall jointly and severally indemnify divine against any tax arising in
consequence of the exercise of the Option which is the liability of the Optionee
or of such Option holder but for which divine is required to account under the
laws of any relevant territory; provided that no Option holder other than the
Optionee shall be liable under this paragraph for any greater amount than the
value of the shares actually delivered to such holder under the Option. divine
may recover any amount due under this paragraph in any manner including, but not
limited to, any of the methods of payment for the shares permitted under this
Option.

                                        2

<PAGE>

     If this Option would have a before-tax net value of at least $200,000 to
the Optionee upon exercise, then the Optionee shall be deemed to have exercised
the Option in full (to the extent not previously exercised) on the last day that
this Option is exercisable. 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 pursuant to this Option, but 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.

3.   divine's Right to Repurchase Optioned Shares

     (a)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the
services of an Optionee as an Eligible Director are terminated for Misconduct
(as defined in Section 10 of the Plan), divine may repurchase any Optioned
Shares that were purchased by the Optionee at any time during the six-month
period preceding the date on which such Misconduct occurred ("Right of
Repurchase").

     (b)  If divine exercises its Right of Repurchase, it shall pay the Optionee
an amount per share equal to the Option Price of the Optioned Shares being
repurchased, as set forth in Section 1 above.

     (c)  The Right of Repurchase shall be exercisable only by written notice
delivered to the Optionee prior to the expiration of 90 days following the date
of termination of Optionee's services. The notice shall set forth the date on
which the repurchase is to be effected. Such date shall not be more than 30 days
after the date of the notice. The certificate(s) representing the Optioned
Shares to be repurchased shall, prior to the close of business on the date
specified for the repurchase, be delivered to divine properly endorsed for
transfer. divine shall, concurrently with the receipt of such certificate(s),
pay to the Optionee the purchase price determined according to clause (b) above
and deliver a balancing certificate, if necessary, for any Optioned Shares that
are not repurchased. Payment shall be made in cash or by check or by canceling
indebtedness to divine incurred by the Optionee in the purchase of the Optioned
Shares. The Right of Repurchase shall terminate with respect to any Optioned
Shares for which it has not been timely exercised pursuant to this clause (c).

     (d)  If divine makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and
form provided in this Option, the consideration for the Optioned Shares to be
repurchased in accordance with this Section 3, then after such time the person
from whom such Optioned Shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any
rights as a holder of such Optioned Shares (other than the right to receive
payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Optioned
Shares shall be deemed to have been repurchased in accordance with the
applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have
been delivered as required by this Agreement.

4.   Terms and Conditions of Exercise

                                        3

<PAGE>

     Each exercise and purchase of shares pursuant to the Option shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions:

     (a)  Options granted to an Optionee shall cease to be exercisable three
months after the date of termination of such Optionee's service as an Eligible
Director for any reason other than death, Disability or Misconduct. Termination
of service for a reason other than death or Disability shall be deemed to occur
when the Optionee receives notice that his or her service is terminated.

     (b)  Options granted to an Optionee shall cease to be exercisable twelve
months after the date such Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Director on account
of Disability.

     (c)  If the Optionee dies, 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 or (if this Option was transferred
prior to his death by the Optionee pursuant to Section 4 of this Option) any
transferees of the Optionee shall be entitled to exercise the Option within
twelve months after the date of the Optionee's death.

     (d)  Options granted to an Optionee shall cease to be exercisable
immediately upon termination of the Optionee's services as an Eligible Director
for Misconduct (as defined in Section 10 of the Plan).

     (e)  The recipient of any shares delivered under this Option 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. The restriction shall
terminate upon the registration of such shares under federal and state
securities laws.

     (f)  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.

5.       Option Transferable

         Except as provided in this Section 5, 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 and it may be exercised during the lifetime of
the Optionee only by him or her.

         This Option is transferable (subject to any terms and conditions
imposed by the Committee) by the Optionee, to one or more Permitted Transferees.
Following any transfer permitted pursuant to this paragraph, of which the
Optionee has notified the Committee in writing, such Option may be exercised or
shall be held by the Permitted Transferee(s), subject to all terms and
conditions of the Option.

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

or 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 event of any transfer to a Permitted Transferee, prompt written notice of
the transfer shall be delivered by the Optionee to divine.

6.       Right to Terminate

         Nothing contained in this Option or the Plan shall entitle the Optionee
to remain a director of Eprise or an Eligible Director under the Plan.

7.       Dissolution or Reorganization

         Subject to Section 8 below, prior to dissolution, liquidation, merger,
consolidation or reorganization of divine (the "Event"), the Board may decide to
terminate each outstanding option. If the Board so decides, each option shall
terminate as of the effective date of the Event, but the Board shall suspend the
exercise of all outstanding options a reasonable time prior to the Event, giving
the Optionee not less than fourteen days written notice of the date of
suspension, prior to which the Optionee may purchase in whole or in part the
Optioned Shares available to him or her as of the date of receipt of the notice.
If the Event is not consummated, the suspension shall be removed and all options
continue in full force and effect, subject to the terms of their respective
option grants.

                         Attestation of Stock Ownership

         For the purpose of exercising an option (the "Option") to purchase
stock of divine, inc. ("divine"), and using shares of common stock of divine
("Stock") to pay the purchase price, the Option Holder (identified below)
certifies and attests as follows:

         1. The Option Holder attests to the ownership of the shares represented
by the certificate(s) listed below, or attests to the beneficial ownership of
the shares held in the name of the broker, as indicated in the attached copy of
the broker statement (the "Payment Shares"), and is hereby deemed to tender such
shares to divine.

         2. Although divine has not required the Option Holder to make actual
delivery of certificates representing the Payment Shares, as a result of which
the Option Holder (and the joint owner, if any, of the Payment Shares listed
below) will retain ownership of the Payment Shares, the Option Holder represents
that he/she, with the consent of the joint owner (if any) of the Payment Shares,
has full power to deliver and convey certificates representing the Payment
Shares to divine and therefore could have caused divine to become sole owner of
the Payment Shares. The joint owner, by signing this form, consents to the above
representations and the exercise of the Option by this notice.

         3. The Option Holder certifies to having ownership of the Payment
Shares for at least six months prior to the exercise of the Option, and
certifies that the Payment Shares have not been used or acquired in a
stock-for-stock swap transaction within the six moths preceding the date of
exercise of the Option.
