                                  divine, inc.

              INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT FOR OPTIONS GRANTED
              UNDER THE OPEN MARKET, INC. 1994 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

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

On October 19, 2001, divine, inc. acquired Open Market, Inc. in a
stock-for-stock merger. As a result, any outstanding options to purchase shares
of Open Market common stock were converted into options to purchase shares of
class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of divine. Each Open Market
option now represents an option to purchase a number of divine shares equal to
the number of Open Market shares subject to such Open Market option multiplied
                                                                    ----------
by 0.8326, the exchange ratio in the merger. The exercise price for each
converted divine option equals the exercise price of the Open Market option
divided by 0.8326.
----------

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

     1.   Grant of Option. Open Market, Inc., a Delaware corporation, hereby
          grants to __________ (the "Optionee"), an option, pursuant to the Open
          Market, Inc. 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), to purchase an
          aggregate of ___ shares of class A common stock, par value $.001 per
          share, of divine, inc. (the "Company") ("Common Stock") at a price of
          $____ per share, purchasable as set forth in and subject to the terms
          and conditions of this option and the Plan. Except where the context
          otherwise requires, the term "Company" shall include the parent and
          all present and future subsidiaries of the Company as defined in
          Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
          amended or replaced from time to time (the "Code").

     2.   Incentive Stock Option. This option is intended to qualify as an
          incentive stock option ("Incentive Stock Option") within the meaning
          of Section 422 of the Code.

     3.   Exercise of Option and Provisions for Termination.

          (a)  Vesting Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
               this option may be exercised during the period commencing
               [exdate] and ending on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date
               set forth on the signature page hereof (the "Expiration Date") in
               installments as follows: (1) [quarter_] shares as of the one
               year anniversary date of the Grant Date (the "Initial Vesting
               Date") and (2) for each subsequent three-month period following
               the Initial Vesting Date, as to no more than the number of shares
               equal to the product of (i) [remainder] multiplied by (ii) the
               number of consecutive three-month periods that the Optionee is
               employed by the Company after [exdate]. The right of exercise
               shall be cumulative so that if the option is not exercised to the
               maximum extent permissible during any exercise period, it shall
               be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all shares
               not so purchased at any time prior to the Expiration Date or the
               earlier termination of this option. This option may not be
               exercised at any time on or after the Expiration Date.

          (b)  Exercise Procedure. Subject to the conditions set forth in this
               Agreement, this option shall be exercised by the Optionee's
               delivery of a properly completed irrevocable notice of option
               exercise, as outlined in the Company's Policy Memorandum on stock
               option exercises, to the Stock Administrator of the Company, and
               accompanied by payment in full in accordance with Section 4
               (unless a cashless exercise is designated on the option exercise
               form). Such exercise shall be effective upon receipt by the Stock
               Administrator of the Company of such notice

<PAGE>

               together with the required payment. The Optionee may purchase
               less than the number of shares covered hereby, provided that no
               partial exercise of this option may be for any fractional share
               or for fewer than 100 whole shares.

          (c)  Continuous Employment Required. Except as otherwise provided in
               this Section 3, this option may not be exercised unless the
               Optionee, at the time he or she exercises this option, is, and
               has been at all times since the date of grant of this option, an
               employee of the Company. For all purposes of this option, (i)
               "employment" shall be defined in accordance with the provisions
               of Section 1.421-7(h) of the Income Tax Regulations or any
               successor regulations, and (ii) if this option shall be assumed
               or a new option substituted therefor in a transaction to which
               Section 424(a) of the Code applies, employment by such assuming
               or substituting corporation (hereinafter called the "Successor
               Corporation") shall be considered for all purposes of this option
               to be employment by the Company.


          d)   Exercise Period Upon Termination of Employment. If the Optionee
               ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason, then, except
               as provided in paragraphs (e) and (f) below, the right to
               exercise this option shall terminate three months after such
               cessation (but in no event after the Expiration Date), provided
               that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the
               Optionee was entitled to exercise this option on the date of such
               cessation. The Company's obligation to deliver shares upon the
               exercise of this option shall be subject to the satisfaction of
               all applicable federal, state and local income and employment tax
               withholding requirements, arising by reason of this option being
               treated under applicable law as a non-statutory option or
               otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee, prior
               to the Expiration Date, materially violates the non-competition
               or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract,
               confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement
               between the Optionee and the Company, the right to exercise this
               option shall terminate immediately upon written notice to the
               Optionee from the Company describing such violation.

          (e)  Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability. If the Optionee dies or
               becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the
               Code) prior to the Expiration Date while he or she is an employee
               of the Company, or if the Optionee dies within three months after
               the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company (other than
               as the result of a discharge for "cause" as specified in
               paragraph (f) below), this option shall be exercisable, within
               the period of one year following the date of death or disability
               of the Optionee (but in no event after the Expiration Date), by
               the Optionee or by the person to whom this option is transferred
               by will or the laws of descent and distribution, provided that
               this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that this
               option was exercisable by the Optionee on the date of his or her
               death or disability. Except as otherwise indicated by the
               context, the term "Optionee", as used in this option, shall be
               deemed to include the estate of the Optionee or any person who
               acquires the right to exercise this option by bequest or
               inheritance or otherwise by reason of the death of the Optionee.

          (f)  Discharge for Cause. If the Optionee, prior to the Expiration
               Date, is discharged by the Company for "cause" (as defined
               below), the right to exercise this option shall terminate
               immediately upon such cessation of employment. As used herein,
               the term "Cause" shall mean any of the following:

               (i)  a good faith finding by the Company (which finding shall be
                    conclusive) of failure of the Optionee to perform his or her
                    assigned duties for the Company, dishonesty, gross
                    negligence or misconduct, (including without limitation,
                    breach by the Optionee of any provision of any employment,
                    nondisclosure, non-competition or other similar agreement
                    between the Optionee and the Company); further, the Optionee
                    shall be considered to have been discharged "for cause" if
                    the Company determines, within 30 days after the Optionee's
                    resignation or termination, that discharge for cause was
                    warranted.

<PAGE>

               (ii) the Optionee's conviction of a felony;

              (iii) the Optionee's conviction of any lesser crime or offense
                    committed in connection with the performance of his duties
                    hereunder and involving moral turpitude; or

               (iv) the Optionee is habitually intoxicated by alcohol or under
                    the influence of drugs and is therefore unable to perform
                    his employment obligations.

     4.  Payment of Purchase Price.

          (a)  Method of Payment. Payment of the purchase price for shares
               purchased upon exercise ofthis option shall be made (i) by
               delivery to the Company of cash or a check to the order of the
               Company in an amount equal to the purchase price of such shares,
               (ii) subject to the consent of the Company, by delivery to the
               Company of shares of Common Stock of theCompany then owned by the
               Optionee having a fair market value equal in amount to the
               purchase price of such shares, (iii) by any other means which the
               Board of Directors determines are consistent with the purpose of
               the Plan and with applicable laws and regulations (including,
               without limitation, the provisions of Rule 16b-3 under the
               Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation T promulgated by
               the Federal Reserve Board), or (iv) by any combination of such
               methods of payment.

          (b)  Valuation of Shares or Other Non-Cash Consideration Tendered in
               Payment of Purchase Price. For the purposes hereof, the fair
               market value of any share of the Company's Common Stock or other
               non-cash consideration which may be delivered to the Company in
               exercise of this option shall be determined in good faith by the
               Board of Directors of the Company.

          (c)  Delivery of Shares Tendered in Payment of Purchase Price. If the
               Optionee exercises options by delivery of shares of Common Stock
               of the Company, the certificate or certificates representing the
               shares of Common Stock of the Company to be delivered shall be
               duly executed in blank by the Optionee or shall be accompanied by
               a stock power duly executed in blank suitable for purposes of
               transferring such shares to the Company. Fractional shares of
               Common Stock of the Company will not be accepted in payment of
               the purchase price of shares acquired upon exercise of this
               option.

          (d)  Restrictions on Use of Option Stock. Notwithstanding the
               foregoing, no shares of Common Stock of the Company may be
               tendered in payment of the purchase price of shares purchased
               upon exercise of this option if the shares to be so tendered were
               acquired within twelve months before the date of such tender,
               through the exercise of an option granted under the Plan or any
               other stock option or restricted stock plan of the Company.

     5.  Delivery of Shares; Compliance With Securities Laws, Etc.

          (a)  General. The Company shall, upon payment of the option price for
               the number of shares purchased and paid for, make prompt delivery
               of such shares to the Optionee, provided that if any law or
               regulation requires the Company to take any action with respect
               to such shares before the issuance thereof, then the date of
               delivery of such shares shall be extended for the period
               necessary to complete such action.

          (b)  Listing, Qualification, Etc. This option shall be subject to the
               requirement that if, at any time, counsel to the Company shall
               determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the
               shares subject hereto upon any securities exchange or under any
               state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any
               governmental or regulatory body, or that the disclosure of
               non-public information or the satisfaction of any other condition
               is necessary as a conditionof, or in connection with, the
               issuance or purchase of shares hereunder, this option may not be
               exercised, in whole or in part, unless such listing,
               registration, qualification, consent or

<PAGE>
               approval, disclosure or satisfaction of such other condition
               shall have been effected or obtained on terms acceptable to the
               Board of Directors. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the
               Company to apply for, effect or obtain such listing,
               registration, qualification, or disclosure, or to satisfy such
               other condition.

     6.   Nontransferability of Option. Except as provided in paragraph (e) of
          Section 3, this option is personal and no rights granted hereunder may
          be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether
          by operation of law or otherwise) nor shall any such rights be subject
          to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to
          transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this
          option or of such rights contrary to the provisions hereof, or upon
          the levy of any attachment or similar process upon this option or such
          rights, this option and such rights shall, at the election of the
          Company, become null and void.

     7.   No Special Employment Rights. Nothing contained in the Plan or this
          option shall be construed or deemed by any person under any
          circumstances to bind the Company to continue the employment of the
          Optionee for the period within which this option may be exercised.

     8.   Rights as a Shareholder. The Optionee shall have no rights as a
          shareholder with respect to any shares which may be purchased by
          exercise of this option (including, without limitation, any rights to
          receive dividends or non-cash distributions with respect to such
          shares) unless and until a certificate representing such shares is
          duly issued and delivered to the Optionee. No adjustment shall be made
          for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to
          the date such stock certificate is issued.

     9.   Adjustment Provisions.

          (a)  General. If, through, or as a result of, any merger,
               consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
               the Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
               stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar
               transaction, (i) the outstanding shares of Common Stock are
               increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or
               kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or (ii)
               additional shares or new or different shares or other securities
               of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with
               respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities, the
               Optionee shall, with respect to this option or any unexercised
               portion hereof, be entitled to the rights and benefits, and be
               subject to the limitations, set forth in Section 5(b) of the
               Plan.

          (b)  Board Authority to Make Adjustments. Any adjustments under this
               Section 9 will be made by the Board of Directors, whose
               determination as to what adjustments, if any, will be made and
               the extent thereof will be final, binding and conclusive. No
               fractional shares will be issued pursuant to this option on
               account of any such adjustments.

          (c)  Limits on Adjustments. No adjustment shall be made under this
               Section 9 which would within the meaning of any applicable
               provision of the Code, constitute a modification, extension or
               renewal of this option or a grant of additional benefits to the
               Optionee.

     10.  Mergers, Consolidation, Distributions, Liquidations Etc. In the event
          of a consolidation or merger or sale of all or substantially all of
          the assets of the Company in which outstanding shares of Common Stock
          are exchanged for securities, cash or other property of any other
          corporation or business entity, or in the event of a liquidation of
          the Company, prior to the Expiration Date or termination of this
          option, the Optionee shall, with respect to this option or any
          unexercised portion hereof, be entitled to the rights and benefits,

<PAGE>

     12.  Limitations on Disposition of Incentive Stock Option Shares. It is
          understood and intended that this option shall qualify as an
          "incentive stock option" as defined in Section 422 of the Code.
          Accordingly, the Optionee understands that in order to obtain the
          benefits of an incentive stock option under Section 421 of the Code,
          no sale or other disposition may be made of any shares acquired upon
          exercise of the option within one year after the day of the transfer
          of such shares to him, nor within two years after the grant of the
          option. If the Optionee intends to dispose, or does dispose (whether
          by sale, exchange, gift, transfer or otherwise), of any such shares
          within said periods, he or she will notify the Company in writing
          within ten days after such disposition.

     13.  Investment Representations; Legends.

          (a)  Representations. The Optionee represents, warrants and covenants
               that:

               (i)  Any shares purchased upon exercise of this option shall be
                    acquired for the Optionee's account for investment only and
                    not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any
                    distribution of the shares in violation of the Securities
                    Act or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act.

               (ii) The Optionee has had such opportunity as he or she has
                    deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the
                    Company such information as is necessary to permit the
                    Optionee to evaluate the merits and risks of his or her
                    investment in the Company.

              (iii) The Optionee is able to bear the economic risk of holding
                    shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this option for
                    an indefinite period.

               (iv) The Optionee understands that the shares acquired pursuant
                    to the exercise of this option are currently registered
                    under the Securities Act. However, if at some later point in
                    time the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this
                    option are not registered under the Securities Act, (A) the
                    shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this option will
                    be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144
                    under the Securities Act; (B) such shares cannot be sold,
                    transferred or otherwise disposed of unless they are
                    subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
