not with a view to the resale or other distribution thereof, and (ii) the
payment to the Company, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, of an amount
equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Shares being purchased
as specified in Participant’s notice of exercise. Participant’s notice of

of the Option shall be effective only when the items required by the preceding
sentence are actually received by the Company. The notice of exercise may be in
the form set forth in Exhibit A attached to

to the provisions of Section 3.7 of the Plan, upon any exercise of the Option by
Participant or as soon thereafter as is practicable, the Company shall issue and
deliver to Participant a certificate or certificates evidencing such number of
Shares as Participant has then elected to purchase. Such certificate or
certificates shall be registered in the name of Participant and shall bear the
legend specified in Section 15 of this Agreement and any legend required by any
federal or state securities laws and by the state in which the Company is
incorporated.  All shares that shall be purchased upon the exercise of

Shares issuable pursuant thereto for investment and without the intent of
participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Shares and not
with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares

    (b)

judgment as to the prospects of the Company.

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (c)    
   Participant has had the opportunity to ask questions of and
receive answers from the Company and its executive officers and to obtain all
information necessary for Participant to make an informed decision with respect
to the investment in the Company represented by the Option and any Shares issued
upon its exercise.

    

    (d)       
Participant is able to bear the economic risk of any investment in the Shares,
including the risk of a complete loss of the investment, and Participant

issued and sold to Participant without registration under any state or federal
laws relating to the registration of securities and in that event will be issued
and sold in reliance on exemptions from registration under appropriate state and
federal laws.

    

    (f)       
 Shares issued to Participant upon exercise of the Option will not be
offered for sale, sold or transferred by Participant other than pursuant to: (i)
an effective registration under applicable state securities laws or in a
transaction which is otherwise in compliance with those laws; (ii) an effective
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, or a transaction otherwise in
compliance with such Act; and (iii) evidence satisfactory to the Company of
compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws. The Company

respect to compliance with the foregoing laws.

    

    (g)       
 The Company will be under no obligation to register the Shares issuable
pursuant to the Option or to comply with any exemption available for sale of the
Shares by Participant without registration, and the Company is under no
obligation to act in any manner so as to make Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933 available with respect to any sale of the Shares by
Participant.

    

    (h)       
Participant has not relied upon the Company with respect to any tax consequences
related to the grant or exercise of this Option, or the disposition of Shares
purchased pursuant to its exercise. Participant acknowledges that, as a result
of the grant and/or exercise of the Option, Participant may incur a substantial
tax liability. Participant assumes full responsibility for all such consequences
and the filing of all tax returns and elections Participant may be required or
find desirable to file in connection therewith. In the event any valuation of
the Option or Shares purchased pursuant to its exercise must be made under
federal or state tax laws and such valuation affects any return or election of
the Company, Participant agrees that the Company may determine such value and
that Participant will observe any determination so made by the Company in all
returns and elections filed by Participant. In the event the Company is required
by applicable law to collect any withholding, payroll or similar taxes by reason
of the grant or any exercise of the Option, Participant agrees that the Company
may withhold such taxes from any monetary amounts otherwise payable by the
Company to Participant and that, if such amounts are insufficient to cover the
taxes required to be collected by the Company, Participant will pay to the
Company such additional amounts as are required.

 The agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by
Participant herein with respect to the Option shall also extend to and apply to
all of the Shares issued to Participant from time to time pursuant to exercise
of the Option. Acceptance by Participant of any certificate representing Shares
shall constitute a confirmation by Participant that all such agreements,
representations, warranties and covenants made herein shall be true and correct
at that time.

    

    (j)       
  In the event any underwriter of securities of the Company requests
Participant to sign any agreement restricting resale of the Shares in connection
with any public offering by the Company, Participant agrees to sign such
agreement, provided the officers of the Company have signed an agreement no less
restrictive. The Company may instruct its transfer agent not to transfer the
Shares if requested by an underwriter as described above.

    

    (k)    
    Participant hereby agrees to comply with any plan,
policy or other document of the Company approved by the Board of Directors of
the Company to ensure compliance with securities laws, rules and regulations
both during the term of employment of Participant and for one (1) year
thereafter. The Company may impose stop-transfer restrictions with respect to
Shares acquired upon exercise of the Options to enforce this
provision.

        8RESTRICTED
STOCK AGREEMENT

      (Non-Employee
Director)

       

      THIS
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the ___ day of
____________, by and between Smart Online, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company), and _________, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Director”).

       

      WHEREAS,
in consideration of the services of the Director, the Company is desirous of
giving the Director shares of common stock of the Company under the Company’s
2004 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) (all capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan), subject to the
restrictions set forth below.

       

      NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises set forth
below and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

       

      1. Restricted Stock
Award. The Company shall issue ________________ (_______) shares of the
common stock of the Company (the “Securities”) to the Director, as part of the
Director’s compensation. The Securities are subject to the restrictions set
forth in Section 4 below.

       

      2. Director
Representations. The Director hereby acknowledges and represents the
following:

       

      (a) Compensation. The
Director acknowledges that the Securities are part of his compensation from the
Company.

       

      (b) Investment. The
Director will treat the Securities as if acquired for investment for the
Director’s own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with,
any distribution thereof, and the Director has no present intention of selling
or distributing the Securities. The Director does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participation to such person or to any third person with respect to any of the
Securities other than as set forth in this Agreement. The Director understands
that the Securities to be issued to the Director have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), by reason of a specific
exemption from the registration provisions of the Act which depends upon, among

      (c) Taxes. The Director
has not relied upon the Company with respect to any tax consequences related to
the acquisition or disposition of the Securities. The Director acknowledges that
the Director may incur a substantial tax liability. The Director assumes full
responsibility for all such consequences and the filing of all tax returns and
elections the Director may be required or find desirable to file in connection
therewith. In the event any valuation of the Securities purchased pursuant to
its exercise must be made under federal or state tax laws and such valuation
affects any return or election of the Company, the Director agrees that the
Company may determine such value and that the Director will observe any
determination so made by the Company in all returns and elections filed by the
Director. In the event the Company is required by applicable law to collect any
withholding, payroll or similar taxes by reason of the grant of the Securities,
the Director agrees that the Company may withhold such taxes from any monetary
amounts otherwise payable by the Company to the Director and that, if such
amounts are insufficient to cover the taxes required to be collected by the
Company, the Director will pay to the Company such additional amounts as are
required.

       

      (d) No Registration
Obligation. The Company will be under no obligation to register the
Securities or to comply with any exemption available for sale of the Securities
by the Director without registration, and the Company is under no obligation to
act in any manner so as to make Rule 144 promulgated under the Act
available with respect to any sale of the Securities by the
Director.

       

      (e) Underwriter
Restrictions. In the event any underwriter of securities of the Company
requests the Director to sign any agreement restricting resale of the Securities
in connection with any public offering by the Company, the Director agrees to
sign such agreement, provided the officers of the Company have signed an
agreement no less restrictive. The Company may instruct its transfer agent not
to transfer the Securities if requested by an underwriter as described
above.

       

      (f) Compliance with Securities
Laws. The Director hereby agrees to comply with any plan, policy or other
document of the Company approved by the Board of Directors of the Company to
ensure compliance with securities laws, rules and regulations both prior to the
Termination of Service of the Director and for one (1) year thereafter. The
Company may impose stop transfer restrictions with respect to the Securities to
enforce this provision.

       

      (g) Legends. Each
certificate representing Securities shall also bear any legend required by any
applicable state securities law or by any other agreement to which the holder
thereof is a party or by which the holder thereof is bound, including the
provisions of any existing “lock-up” or similar agreements between the Director
and the Company, and including the following legend as required in
Section 4, below:

Securities described above shall be subject to the following
restrictions:

       

      (a) Restriction Period; Lapse of
Restriction. For a period of one (1) year following the date of this
Agreement, the Director agrees not to transfer, assign or sell the Securities,
without the express written consent of the Company, which may be granted or
withheld in the sole discretion of the Company. This restriction shall expire
and cease to be of any effect with respect to the number of shares equal to
twenty-five percent (25%) of the Securities in four (4) equal quarterly
increments for one year following the date hereof, as follows: _________ on each
of ___________, _________________, ______________ and _______________; provided that this
restriction shall lapse with respect to an increment as specified only if the
Director is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors on the specified date
for such increment.

       

      Shares
representing the Securities shall bear a legend to such effect. The schedule set
forth above is cumulative, so that the Securities as to which the restriction
has lapsed on and after a date indicated by the schedule may be transferred,
assigned, or sold at any subsequent date.

       

      (b) Acceleration of Lapse of
Restriction. Upon a Change in Control, as defined below, the restriction
set forth in Section 4(a) shall accelerate so as to lapse as to all of the
Securities to which the restriction applies on the date of such
event.

       

      A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have
occurred on the earliest of the following dates:

      

      
        (i)            the

power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

      

      
        

          
            
               

            

            
              3

              
                

              

            

            
               

            

          

        

      

      
         

        (ii)           on
the condition that the transaction is consummated, the date the shareholders of
the Company approve a definitive agreement or plan for: (A) a merger, share
exchange, consolidation or reorganization involving the Company and any other
corporation or other entity as a result of which securities representing
more  than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the
Company or of the surviving or resulting corporation or entity  are
held in the aggregate by persons different than the persons holding those
securities (including their affiliates) immediately prior to such transaction;
or (B) an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets.

      

       

      5. Effect of Termination of
Service. The restriction on the Securities shall lapse as specified in
Section 4 above until the Termination of Service of the Director for
reasons other than death, Disability or Retirement. Pursuant to Section 7.6
of the Plan, where the Termination of Service is for death, Disability or
Retirement, than the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether
to waive any remaining restriction. All shares of the Securities still subject
to the restriction set forth in Section 4 shall be forfeited by the
Director and reacquired by the Company on such date. Upon such date, the
Director shall have no further rights to any Securities to which the restriction
has not lapsed.

       

      6. Rights as
Stockholder. The Director shall have all rights as a stockholder with
respect to the Securities; provided, however, any
