                           RELEASENOW.COM CORPORATION
                            STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     AGREEMENT made this ____ day of _______ 1999, by and between ReleaseNow.com
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and ____________ (the "Optionee") under the
Corporation's 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan.

     All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to
them in this Agreement or in the attached Appendix.

A. EXERCISE OF OPTION
   ------------------

     1. Exercise. Optionee hereby purchases ________ shares of Common Stock
        --------
(the "Purchased Shares") pursuant to that certain option (the "Option")
granted Optionee on _______ (the "Grant Date") to purchase up to _____ shares of
Common Stock (the "Option Shares") under the Plan at the exercise price of $
_____________ per share (the "Exercise Price").

     2. Payment. Concurrently with the delivery of this Agreement to the
        -------
Corporation, Optionee shall pay the Exercise Price for the Purchased Shares in
accordance with the provisions of the Option Agreement and shall deliver
whatever additional documents may be required by the Option Agreement as a
condition for exercise , together with a duly-executed blank Assignment Separate
from Certificate (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I) with respect to the
Purchased Shares.

     3. Stockholder Rights. Until such time as the Corporation exercises the
        ------------------
Repurchase Right or the First Refusal Right, Optionee (or any successor in
interest) shall have all the rights of a stockholder (including voting, dividend
and liquidation rights) with respect to the Purchased Shares, subject, however,
to the transfer restrictions of Articles B and C.

B. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE
   -------------------------

     1. Restricted Securities. The Purchased Shares have not been registered
        ---------------------
under the 1933 Act and are being issued to Optionee in reliance upon the
exemption from such registration provided by SEC Rule 701 for stock issuances
under compensatory benefit plans such as the Plan. Optionee hereby confirms that
Optionee has been informed that the Purchased Shares are restricted securities
under the 1933 Act and may not be resold or transferred unless the Purchased
Shares are first registered under the Federal securities laws or unless an
exemption from such registration is available. Accordingly, Optionee hereby
acknowledges that Optionee is prepared to hold the Purchased Shares for an
indefinite period and that Optionee is aware that SEC Rule 144 issued under the
1933 Act which exempts certain resales of unrestricted securities is not
presently available to exempt the resale of the Purchased Shares from the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act.
<PAGE>

     2. Restrictions on Disposition of Purchased Shares. Optionee shall make no
        -----------------------------------------------
disposition of the Purchased Shares (other than a Permitted Transfer) unless and
until there is compliance with all of the following requirements:

          (i)   Optionee shall have provided the Corporation with a written
     summary of the terms and conditions of the proposed disposition.

          (ii)  Optionee shall have complied with all requirements of this
     Agreement applicable to the disposition of the Purchased Shares.

          (iii) Optionee shall have provided the Corporation with written
     assurances, in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation, that (a)
     the proposed disposition does not require registration of the Purchased
     Shares under the 1933 Act or (b) all appropriate action necessary for
     compliance with the registration requirements of the 1933 Act or any
     exemption from registration available under the 1933 Act (including Rule
     144) has been taken.

     The Corporation shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any
Purchased Shares which have been sold or transferred in violation of the
provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as the owner of the Purchased
Shares, or otherwise to accord voting, dividend or liquidation rights to, any
transferee to whom the Purchased Shares have been transferred in contravention
of this Agreement.

     3. Restrictive Legends. The stock certificates for the Purchased Shares
shall be endorsed with one or more of the following restrictive legends:

          "The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered
     under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares may not be sold or offered for
     sale in the absence of (a) an effective registration statement for the
     shares under such Act, (b) a "no action" letter of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission with respect to such sale or offer or (c) satisfactory
     assurances to the Corporation that registration under such Act is not
     required with respect to such sale or offer."

          "The shares represented by this certificate are subject to certain
     repurchase rights and rights of first refusal granted to the Corporation
     and accordingly may not be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, or in
     any manner disposed of except in conformity with the terms of a written
     agreement dated ______ between the Corporation and the registered holder of
     the shares (or the predecessor in interest to the shares). A copy of such
     agreement is maintained at the Corporation's principal corporate offices."

C. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
   ---------------------

     1. Restriction on Transfer. Except for any Permitted Transfer, Optionee
        -----------------------
shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the
Purchased Shares which are

                                       2
<PAGE>

subject to the Repurchase Right. In addition, Purchased Shares which are
released from the Repurchase Right shall not be transferred, assigned,
encumbered or otherwise disposed of in contravention of the First Refusal Right
or the Market Stand-Off.

     2. Transferee Obligations. Each person (other than the Corporation) to whom
        ----------------------
the Purchased Shares are transferred by means of a Permitted Transfer must, as a
condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to
the Corporation that such person is bound by the provisions of this Agreement
and that the transferred shares are subject to (i) the Repurchase Right, (ii)
the First Refusal Right and (iii) the Market Stand-Off, to the same extent such
shares would be so subject if retained by Optionee.

     3. Market Stand-Off.
        ----------------

               (a) In connection with any underwritten public offering by the
Corporation of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration
statement filed under the 1933 Act, including the Corporation's initial public
offering, Owner shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate,
pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer
for value or otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions
with respect to, any Purchased Shares without the prior written consent of the
Corporation or its underwriters. Such restriction (the "Market Stand-Off")
shall be in effect for such period of time from and after the effective date of
the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Corporation or
such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed one hundred
eighty (180) days and the Market Stand-Off shall in all events terminate two (2)
years after the effective date of the Corporation's initial public offering.

               (b) Ownershall be subject to the Market Stand-Off provided and
                                                                 ------------
only if the officers and directors of the Corporation are also subject to
-------
similar restrictions.

               (c) Any new, substituted or additional securities which are by
reason of any Recapitalization or Reorganization distributed with respect to
the Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the Market Stand-Off, to
the same extent the Purchased Shares are at such time covered by such
provisions.

               (d) In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Corporation may
impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Purchased Shares until the
end of the applicable stand-off period.

D. REPURCHASE RIGHT
   ----------------

     1. Grant. The Corporation is hereby granted the right (the "Repurchase
        -----
Right"), exercisable at any time during the sixty (60)-day period following the
date Optionee ceases for any reason to remain in Service or (if later) during
the sixty (60)-day period following the execution date of this Agreement, to
repurchase at the Exercise Price any or all of the Purchased Shares in which
Optionee is not, at the time of his or her cessation of Service, vested in
accordance with the Vesting Schedule applicable to those shares or the special
vesting

                                       3
<PAGE>

acceleration provisions of Paragraph D.6 of this Agreement (such shares to be
hereinafter referred to as the "Unvested Shares").

     2. Exercise of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall be
        --------------------------------
exercisable by written notice delivered to each Owner of the Unvested Shares
prior to the expiration of the sixty (60)-day exercise period. The notice shall
indicate the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased and the date on which
the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not more than thirty (30) days
after the date of such notice. The certificates representing the Unvested Shares
to be repurchased shall be delivered to the Corporation on or before the close
of business on the date specified for the repurchase. Concurrently with the
receipt of such stock certificates, the Corporation shall pay to Owner, in cash
or cash equivalents (including the cancellation of any purchase-money
indebtedness), an amount equal to the Exercise Price previously paid for the
Unvested Shares which are to be repurchased from Owner.

     3. Termination of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall
        -----------------------------------
terminate with respect to any Unvested Shares for which it is not timely
exercised under Paragraph D.2. In addition, the Repurchase Right shall terminate
and cease to be exercisable with respect to any and all Purchased Shares in
which Optionee vests in accordance with the Vesting Schedule. All Purchased
Shares as to which the Repurchase Right lapses shall, however, remain subject to
(i) the First Refusal Right and (ii) the Market Stand-Off.

     4. Aggregate Vesting Limitation. If the Option is exercised in more than
        ----------------------------
one increment so that Optionee is a party to one or more other Stock Purchase
Agreements (the "Prior Purchase Agreements") which are executed prior to the
date of this Agreement, then the total number of Purchased Shares as to which
Optionee shall be deemed to have a fully-vested interest under this Agreement
and all Prior Purchase Agreements shall not exceed in the aggregate the number
of Purchased Shares in which Optionee would otherwise at the time be vested, in
accordance with the Vesting Schedule, had all the Purchased Shares (including
those acquired under the Prior Purchase Agreements) been acquired exclusively
under this Agreement.

     5. Recapitalization. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other
        ----------------
property (including cash paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which is by
reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares
shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right and any escrow requirements
hereunder, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered
by such right or escrow requirements. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such
distribution shall be made to the number and/or class of Purchased Shares
subject to this Agreement and to the price per share to be paid upon the
exercise of the Repurchase Right in order to reflect the effect of any such
Recapitalization upon the Corporation's capital structure; provided, however,
                                                           --------
that the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

     6. Corporate Transaction.
        ---------------------

          (a) The Repurchase Right shall automatically terminate in its
entirety, and all the Purchased Shares shall vest in full, immediately prior to
the consummation of any

                                       4
<PAGE>

Corporate Transaction, except to the extent the Repurchase Right is to be
assigned to the successor entity in such Corporate Transaction.

          (b) To the extent the Repurchase Right remains in effect following a
Corporate Transaction, such right shall apply to any new securities or other
property (including any cash payments) received in exchange for the Purchased
Shares in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, but only to the extent the
Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right. Appropriate adjustments
shall be made to the price per share payable upon exercise of the Repurchase
Right to reflect the effect of the Corporate Transaction upon the Corporation's
capital structure; provided, however, that the aggregate purchase price shall
                   --------
remain the same. The new securities or other property (including any cash
payments) issued or distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares in
consummation of the Corporate Transaction shall be immediately deposited in
escrow with the Corporation (or the successor entity) and shall not be released
from escrow until Optionee vests in such securities or other property in
accordance with the same Vesting Schedule in effect for the Purchased Shares.

        (c) The Repurchase Right may also terminate on an accelerated basis, and
the Purchased Shares shall immediately vest in full, in accordance with the
terms and conditions of any special addendum attached to this Agreement.

E. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
   ----------------------

     1. Grant. The Corporation is hereby granted the right of first refusal (the
        -----
"First Refusal Right"), exercisable in connection with any proposed transfer of
the Purchased Shares in which Optionee has vested in accordance with the
provisions of Article D. For purposes of this Article E, the term "transfer"
shall include any sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of
the Purchased Shares intended to be made by Owner, but shall not include any
Permitted Transfer.

     2. Notice of Intended Disposition. In the event any Owner of Purchased
        ------------------------------
Shares in which Optionee has vested desires to accept a bona fide third-party
offer for the transfer of any or all of such shares (the Purchased Shares
subject to such offer to be hereinafter referred to as the "Target Shares"),
Owner shall promptly (i) deliver to the Corporation written notice (the
"Disposition Notice") of the terms of the offer, including the purchase price
and the identity of the third-party offeror, and (ii) provide satisfactory proof
that the disposition of the Target Shares to such third-party offeror would not
be in contravention of the provisions set forth in Articles B and C.

     3. Exercise of the First Refusal Right. The Corporation shall, for a period
        -----------------------------------
of twenty-five (25) days following receipt of the Disposition Notice, have the
right to repurchase any or all of the Target Shares subject to the Disposition
Notice upon the same terms as those specified therein or upon such other terms
(not materially different from those specified in the Disposition Notice) to
which Owner consents. Such right shall be exercisable by delivery of written
notice (the "Exercise Notice") to Owner prior to the expiration of the twenty-
five (25)-day exercise period. If such right is exercised with respect to all
the Target

                                       5
<PAGE>

Shares, then the Corporation shall effect the repurchase of such shares,
including payment of the purchase price, not more than five (5) business days
after delivery of the Exercise Notice; and at such time the certificates
representing the Target Shares shall be delivered to the Corporation.

     Should the purchase price specified in the Disposition Notice be payable in
property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Corporation shall
have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to
the value of such property. If Owner and the Corporation cannot agree on such
cash value within ten (10) days after the Corporation's receipt of the
Disposition Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized
standing selected by Owner and the Corporation or, if they cannot agree on an
appraiser within twenty (20) days after the Corporation's receipt of the
Disposition Notice, each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and
the two (2) appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing,
whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal
shall be shared equally by Owner and the Corporation. The closing shall then be
held on the later of (i) the fifth (5th) business day following delivery of the
Exercise Notice or (ii) the fifth (5th) business day after such valuation shall
have been made.

     4.   Non-Exercise of the First Refusal Right. In the event the Exercise
          ---------------------------------------
Notice is not given to Owner prior to the expiration of the twenty-five (25)-day
exercise period, Owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days thereafter in
which to sell or otherwise dispose of the Target Shares to the third-party
offeror identified in the Disposition Notice upon terms (including the purchase
price) no more favorable to such third-party offeror than those specified in the
Disposition Notice; provided, however, that any such sale or disposition must
                    --------
not be effected in contravention of the provisions of Articles B and C. The
third-party offeror shall acquire the Target Shares subject to the First Refusal
Right, the provisions of Article B and the provisions of Paragraph C.3. In the
event Owner does not effect such sale or disposition of the Target Shares within
the specified thirty (30)-day period, the First Refusal Right shall continue to
be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Target Shares by Owner until
such right lapses.

     5.   Partial Exercise of the First Refusal Right. In the event the
          -------------------------------------------
Corporation makes a timely exercise of the First Refusal Right with respect to a
portion, but not all, of the Target Shares specified in the Disposition Notice,
Owner shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to the Corporation
delivered within five (5) business days after Owner's receipt of the Exercise
Notice, to effect the sale of the Target Shares pursuant to either of the
following alternatives:

               (i) sale or other disposition of all the Target Shares to the
     third-party offeror identified in the Disposition Notice, but in full
     compliance with the requirements of Paragraph E.4, as if the Corporation
     did not exercise the First Refusal Right; or

               (ii) sale to the Corporation of the portion of the Target Shares
     which the Corporation has elected to purchase, such sale to be effected in
     substantial conformity with the provisions of Paragraph E.3. The First
     Refusal

                                       6
<PAGE>

     Right shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the
     remaining Target Shares until such right lapses.

           Owner's failure to deliver timely notification to the Corporation
 deemed to be an election by Owner to sell the Target Shares pursuant to
alternative (i) above.

     6.   Recapitalization/Reorganization.
          -------------------------------

             (a) Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property
which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to the
Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the First Refusal Right, but
only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right.

             (b) In the event of a Reorganization, the First Refusal Right shall
remain in full force and effect and shall apply to the new capital stock or
other property received in exchange for the Purchased Shares in consummation of
the Reorganization, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time
covered by such right.

     7. Lapse. The First Refusal Right shall lapse upon the earliest to occur of
        -----                                               --------
(i) the first date on which shares of the Common Stock are held of record by
more than five hundred (500) persons, (ii) a determination made by the Board
that a public market exists for the outstanding shares of Common Stock or (iii)
a firm commitment underwritten public offering, pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the 1933 Act, covering the offer and sale of the
Common Stock in the aggregate amount of at least ten million dollars
($10,000,000). However, the Market Stand-Off shall continue to remain in full
force and effect following the lapse of the First Refusal Right.

F. SPECIAL TAX ELECTION
   --------------------

     The acquisition of the Purchased Shares may result in adverse tax
consequences which may be avoided or mitigated by filing an election under Code
Section 83(b). Such election must be filed within thirty (30) days after the
date of this Agreement. A description of the tax consequences applicable to the
acquisition of the Purchased Shares and the form for making the Code Section
83(b) election are set forth in Exhibit II. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR
HER TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ACQUIRING THE PURCHASED
SHARES AND THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF FILING THE CODE SECTION 83(b)
ELECTION. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS OPTIONEE'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND
NOT THE CORPORATION'S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(b), EVEN
IF OPTIONEE REQUESTS THE CORPORATION OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING
ON HIS OR HER BEHALF.

                                       7

G. GENERAL PROVISIONS
   ------------------

     1. Assignment. The Corporation may assign the Repurchase Right and/or the
        ----------
First Refusal Right to any person or entity selected by the Board, including
(without limitation) one or more stockholders of the Corporation.

     2. No Employment or Service Contract. Nothing in this Agreement or in the
        ---------------------------------
Plan shall confer upon Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period
of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the
rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining
Optionee) or of Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to
terminate Optionee's Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

     3. Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be
        -------

such party's signature line on this Agreement or at such other address as such
party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice under this paragraph
to all other parties to this Agreement.

     4. No Waiver. The failure of the Corporation in any instance to exercise
        ---------
the Repurchase Right or the First Refusal Right shall not constitute a waiver of
any other repurchase rights and/or rights of first refusal that may subsequently
arise under the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement between the
Corporation and Optionee. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition,

        ----------------------
time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the
consideration for the Purchased Shares to be repurchased in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time, the person from
whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a
holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of such
consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such shares shall be deemed
purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, and the
Corporation shall be deemed the owner and holder of such shares, whether or not
the certificates therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

                                   EXHIBIT II

                       FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES AND
                           SECTION 83(b) TAX ELECTION

     II. Federal Income Tax Consequences and Section 83(b) Election For Exercise
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
of Non-Statutory Option. If the Purchased Shares are acquired pursuant to the
-----------------------
exercise of a Non-Statutory Option, as specified in the Grant Notice, then under
Code Section 83, the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares on
the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares lapse over the
Exercise Price paid for such shares will be reportable as ordinary income on the
lapse date. For this purpose, the term "forfeiture restrictions" includes the
right of the Corporation to repurchase the Purchased Shares pursuant to the
Repurchase Right. However, Optionee may elect under Code Section 83(b) to be
taxed at the time the Purchased Shares are acquired, rather than when and as
such Purchased Shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions. Such
election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days
after the date of the Agreement. Even if the Fair Market Value of the Purchased
Shares on the date of the Agreement equals the Exercise Price paid (and thus no
tax is payable), the election must be made to avoid adverse tax consequences in
the future. The form for making this election is attached as part of this
exhibit. FAILURE TO MAKE THIS FILING WITHIN THE APPLICABLE THIRTY (30)-DAY
PERIOD WILL RESULT IN THE RECOGNITION OF ORDINARY INCOME BY OPTIONEE AS THE
FORFEITURE RESTRICTIONS LAPSE.

     III. Federal Income Tax Consequences and Conditional Section 83(b) Election
For Exercise of Incentive Option. If the Purchased Shares are acquired pursuant
to the exercise of an Incentive Option, as specified in the Grant Notice, then
the following tax principles shall be applicable to the Purchased Shares:

          (i) For regular tax purposes, no taxable income will be recognized at
     the time the Option is exercised.

          (ii) The excess of (a) the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares
     on the date the Option is exercised or (if later) on the date any
     forfeiture restrictions applicable to the Purchased Shares lapse over (b)
     the Exercise Price paid for the Purchased Shares will be includible in
     Optionee's taxable income for alternative minimum tax purposes.

          (iii) If Optionee makes a disqualifying disposition of the Purchased
     Shares, then Optionee will recognize ordinary income in the year of such
     disposition equal in amount to the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value of
     the Purchased Shares on the date the Option is exercised or (if later) on
     the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to the Purchased Shares
     lapse over (b) the Exercise Price paid for the Purchased Shares. Any
     additional gain recognized upon the disqualifying disposition will be
     either short-term or long-term capital
<PAGE>

     gain depending upon the period for which the Purchased Shares are held
     prior to the disposition.

          (iv) For purposes of the foregoing, the term "forfeiture restrictions"
     will include the right of the Corporation to repurchase the Purchased
     Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Right. The term "disqualifying
     disposition" means any sale or other disposition /1/ of the Purchased
     Shares within two (2) years after the Grant Date or within one (1) year
     after the exercise date of the Option.

          (v) In the absence of final Treasury Regulations relating to Incentive
     Options, it is not certain whether Optionee may, in connection with the
     exercise of the Option for any Purchased Shares at the time subject to
     forfeiture restrictions, file a protective election under Code Section
     83(b) which would limit (a) Optionee's alternative minimum taxable income
     upon exercise and (b) Optionee's ordinary income upon a disqualifying
     disposition to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares
     on the date the Option is exercised over the Exercise Price paid for the
     Purchased Shares. Accordingly, such election if properly filed will only be
     allowed to the extent the final Treasury Regulations permit such a
     protective election. Page 2 of the attached form for making the election
     should be filed with any election made in connection with the exercise of
     an Incentive Option.

___________________
/1/  Generally, a disposition of shares purchased under an Incentive Option
includes any transfer of legal title, including a transfer by sale, exchange or
gift, but does not include a transfer to the Optionee's spouse, a transfer into
joint ownership with right of survivorship if Optionee remains one of the joint
owners, a pledge, a transfer by bequest or inheritance or certain tax free
exchanges permitted under the Code.

                             SECTION 83(b) ELECTION

          This statement is being made under Section 83(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code, pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.83-2.

(1) The taxpayer who performed the services is:

     Name: Optionee
     Address:
     Taxpayer Ident. No.:

(2) The property with respect to which the election is being made is
    __________________ shares of the common stock of ReleaseNow.Com Corporation.

(3) The property was issued on _____________.

(4) The taxable year in which the election is being made is the calendar year
    199_.

(5) The property is subject to a repurchase right pursuant to which the
    issuer has the right to acquire the property at the original purchase
    price if for any reason taxpayer's service with the issuer terminates.
    The issuer's repurchase right lapses in a series of installments over a
    four (4)-year period ending on , 200.

(6) The fair market value at the time of transfer (determined without regard to
    any restriction  other than a restriction  which by its terms will never
    lapse) is $________ per share.

(7) The amount paid for such property is $________ per share.

(8) A copy of this statement was furnished to ReleaseNow.com Corporation for
    whom taxpayer rendered the services underlying the transfer of property.

(9) This statement is executed on _______________, 199__.

Spouse (if any)                             Taxpayer

This election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Center with which
taxpayer  files his or her  Federal  income tax  returns and must be made within
thirty (30) days after the execution date of the Stock Purchase Agreement.  This
filing should be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.
Optionee must retain two (2) copies of the completed form for filing with his or
her Federal  and state tax  returns  for the current tax year and an  additional
copy for his or her records.
<PAGE>

               The property described in the above Section 83(b) election is
comprised of shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an
incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"). Accordingly, it is the intent of the Taxpayer to utilize this election
to achieve the following tax results:

               1. The purpose of this election is to have the alternative
minimum taxable income attributable to the purchased shares measured by the
amount by which the fair market value of such shares at the time of their
transfer to the Taxpayer exceeds the purchase price paid for the shares. In the
absence of this election, such alternative minimum taxable income would be
measured by the spread between the fair market value of the purchased shares and
the purchase price which exists on the various lapse dates in effect for the
forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares. The election is to be
effective to the full extent permitted under the Code.

               2. Section 421(a)(1) of the Code expressly excludes from income
any excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares over the amount paid
for such shares. Accordingly, this election is also intended to be effective in
the event there is a "disqualifying disposition" of the shares, within the
meaning of Section 421(b) of the Code, which would otherwise render the
provisions of Section 83(a) of the Code applicable at that time. Consequently,
the Taxpayer hereby elects to have the amount of disqualifying disposition
income measured by the excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares
on the date of transfer to the Taxpayer over the amount paid for such shares.
Since Section 421(a) presently applies to the shares which are the subject of
this Section 83(b) election, no taxable income is actually recognized for
regular tax purposes at this time, and no income taxes are payable, by the
Taxpayer as a result of this election. The election shall be effective to the
full extent permitted under the Code.

THIS PAGE 2 IS TO BE ATTACHED TO ANY SECTION 83(b) ELECTION FILED IN CONNECTION
WITH THE EXERCISE OF AN INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION UNDER THE FEDERAL TAX LAWS.

          all or part of the Collateral and release Collateral to Pledgor to the
          extent necessary to effect such exchange, and in such event the other
          property received in the exchange shall become part of the Collateral
          hereunder;

                         (ii) perform such acts as are necessary to preserve and
          protect the Collateral and the rights, powers and remedies granted
          with respect to such Collateral by this Agreement; and

                         (iii) transfer record ownership of the Collateral to
          the Corporation or its nominee and receive, endorse and give receipt
          for, or collect by legal proceedings or otherwise, dividends or other

          and only if there exists at the time an outstanding event of default

          over to Pledgor.

               Any action by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this
Paragraph 6 may be taken without notice to Pledgor. Expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with such action shall be payable by Pledgor and form
part of the indebtedness secured hereunder as provided in Paragraph 12.

                    7.   Care of Collateral.  The Corporation shall exercise
                         ------------------
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral. However, the
Corporation shall have no obligation to (i) initiate any action with respect to,
or otherwise inform Pledgor of, any conversion, call, exchange right, preemptive
right, subscription right, purchase offer or other right or privilege relating
to or affecting the Collateral, (ii) preserve the rights of Pledgor against
adverse claims or protect the Collateral against the possibility of a decline in
market value or (iii) take any action with respect to the Collateral requested
by Pledgor unless the request is made in writing and the Corporation determines
that the requested action will not unreasonably jeopardize the value of the
Collateral as security for the Note and other indebtedness secured hereunder.

               Subject to the limitations of Paragraph 9, the Corporation may at
any time release and deliver all or part of the Collateral to Pledgor, and the
receipt thereof by Pledgor shall constitute a complete and full acquittance for
the Collateral so released and delivered. The Corporation shall accordingly be
discharged from any further liability or responsibility for the Collateral, and
the released Collateral shall no longer be subject to the provisions of this
Agreement.

                    8.   Transfer of Collateral.  In connection with the
                         ----------------------
transfer or assignment of the Note (whether by negotiation, discount or
otherwise), the Corporation may transfer all or any part of the Collateral, and
the transferee shall thereupon succeed to all the rights, powers and remedies
granted the Corporation hereunder with respect to the Collateral so transferred.
Upon such transfer, the Corporation shall be fully discharged from all liability
and responsibility for the transferred Collateral.

                    9.   Release of Collateral.  Provided all indebtedness
                         ---------------------
secured hereunder shall at the time have been paid in full and there does not
otherwise exist any event of default under Paragraph 10, the Purchased Shares,
together with any additional Collateral which may hereafter be pledged and
deposited hereunder, shall be released from pledge and returned to Pledgor in
accordance with the following provisions:

                         (i) Upon payment or prepayment of principal under the
     Note, together with payment of all accrued interest to date, one or
     more of the Purchased Shares held as Collateral hereunder shall below) be
     (subject to the applicable limitations of Paragraphs 9(iii) and 9(v)
     released to Pledgor within thirty (30) days after such payment or
     prepayment. The number of the shares to be so released shall be equal to
     the number obtained by multiplying (i)

                                       3
<PAGE>

     the total number of Purchased Shares held under this Agreement at the time
     of the payment or prepayment, by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which
     shall be the amount of the principal paid or prepaid and the denominator of
     which shall be the unpaid principal balance of the Note immediately prior
     to such payment or prepayment. In no event, however, shall any fractional
     shares be released.

               (ii) Any additional Collateral which may hereafter be pledged and
     deposited with the Corporation (pursuant to the requirements of Paragraph
     3) with respect to the Purchased Shares shall be released at the same time
     the particular shares of Common Stock to which the additional Collateral
     relates are to be released in accordance with the applicable provisions of
     Paragraph 9(i).

               (iii) Under no circumstances, however, shall any Purchased Shares
     or any other Collateral be released if previously applied to the payment of
     any indebtedness secured hereunder. In addition, in no event shall any
     Purchased Shares or other Collateral be released pursuant to the provisions
     of Paragraph 9(i) or 9(ii) if, and to the extent, the fair market value of
     the Common Stock and all other Collateral which would otherwise remain in
     pledge hereunder after such release were effected would be less than the
     unpaid principal and accrued interest under the Note.

               (iv) For all valuation purposes under this Agreement, the fair
     market value per share of Common Stock on any relevant date shall be
     determined in accordance with the following provisions:

                    (A) If the Common Stock is at the time traded on the Nasdaq
     National Market, the fair market value shall be the closing selling price
     per share of Common Stock on the date in question, as such prices are
     reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers on its Nasdaq
     system or any successor system. If there is no reported closing selling
     price for the Common Stock on the date in question, then the closing
     selling price on the last preceding date for which such quotation exists
     shall be determinative of fair market value.

                    (B) If the Common Stock is at the time listed on the
     American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange, then the fair
     market value shall be the closing selling price per share of Common Stock
     on the date in question on the securities exchange serving as the primary
     Common Stock, as such price is officially quoted in the composite tape of
     market for the transactions on such exchange. If there is no reported sale
     on such exchange on the date in question, then the fair market value shall
     of Common Stockbe the closing selling price on the exchange on the last
     preceding date for which such quotation exists.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                    (C) If the Common Stock is at the time neither listed on any
     securities exchange nor traded on the Nasdaq National Market, the fair
     market value shall be determined by the Corporation's Board of Directors
     after taking into account such factors as the Board shall deem appropriate.

                          (v) In the event the Collateral becomes in whole or in
     part comprised of "margin securities" within the meaning of Section
     207.2(i) of Regulation G of the Federal Reserve Board, then no Collateral
     shall thereafter be substituted for any Collateral under the provisions of
     Paragraph 6(i) or be released under Paragraph 9(i) or (ii), unless there is
     compliance with each of the following additional requirements:

                              (A)  The substitution or release must not increase
     the amount by which the indebtedness secured hereunder at the time of such
     substitution or release exceeds the maximum loan value (as defined below)
     of the Collateral immediately prior to such substitution or release.

                              (B)  The substitution or release must not cause
     the amount of indebtedness secured hereunder at the time of such
     substitution or release to exceed the maximum loan value of the Collateral
     remaining after such substitution or release is effected.

                              (C)  For purposes of this Paragraph 9(v), the
     maximum loan value of each item of Collateral shall be determined on the
     day the substitution or release is to be effected and shall, in the case of
     the shares of Common Stock and any additional Collateral (other than margin
     securities), equal the good faith loan value thereof (as defined in Section
     207.2(e)(1) of Regulation G) and shall, in the case of all margin
     securities (other than the Common Stock), equal fifty percent (50%) of the
     current market value of such securities.

               10.  Events of Default.  The occurrence of one or more of the
                    -----------------
following events shall constitute an event of default under this Agreement:

                    (i)    the failure of Pledgor to pay, when due under the
     Note, any installment of principal or accrued interest after any grace
     period set forth in the Note has expired, if any; or

                    (ii)   the occurrence of any other acceleration event
     specified in the Note; or

                    (iii)  the failure of Pledgor to perform any obligation
     imposed upon Pledgor by reason of this Agreement; or

                    (iv)   the breach of any warranty of Pledgor contained in
     this Agreement.

                                       5
<PAGE>

          Upon the occurrence of any such event of default, the Corporation may,
at its election, declare the Note and all other indebtedness secured hereunder
to become immediately due and payable and may exercise any or all of the rights
and remedies granted to a secured party under the provisions of the California
Commercial Code (as now or hereafter in effect), including (without limitation)
the power to dispose of the Collateral by public or private sale or to accept
the Collateral in full payment of the Note and all other indebtedness secured
hereunder.

           Any proceeds realized from the disposition of the Collateral pursuant
to the foregoing power of sale shall be applied first to the payment of expenses
incurred by the Corporation in connection with the disposition, then to the
payment of the Note and finally to any other indebtedness secured hereunder. Any
surplus proceeds shall be paid over to Pledgor. However, in the event such
proceeds prove insufficient to satisfy all obligations of Pledgor under the
Note, then Pledgor shall remain personally liable for the resulting deficiency.

               11.  Other Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies granted to
                    --------------
the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in
addition to all rights, powers and remedies granted to the Corporation under any
statute or rule of law. Any forbearance, failure or delay by the Corporation in
exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of such right, power or remedy. Any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall not preclude the further
exercise thereof, and every right, power and remedy of the Corporation under
this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless such right, power
or remedy is specifically waived by an instrument executed by the Corporation.

               12.  Costs and Expenses.  All costs and expenses (including
                    ------------------
reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by the Corporation in the exercise or
enforcement of any right, power or remedy granted it under this Agreement shall
become part of the indebtedness secured hereunder and shall constitute a
personal liability of Pledgor payable immediately upon demand and bearing
interest until paid at the minimum per annum rate, compounded semi-annually,
required to avoid the imputation of interest income to the Corporation and
compensation income to Pledgor under the Federal tax laws.

               13.  Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
                    --------------
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without resort
to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.

               14.  Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the
                    ----------
Corporation and its successors and assigns and upon Pledgor and the executors,
heirs and legatees of Pledgor's estate.

               15.  Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
                    ------------
be invalid under applicable law, then such provision shall be ineffective only
to the extent of such invalidity, and neither the remainder of such provision
nor any other provisions of this Agreement shall be affected thereby.
