                             SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

$00,000.00                                                Date:  _________, 2002
                                                       Mountain View, California

        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, __________ (the "Borrower"),
promises to pay to NexPrise, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), or
order, at its principal executive office located at 701 Palomar Airport Road,
Carlsbad, California, 92009, or such other place as the holder of this Secured
Promissory Note (this "Note") may designate from time to time, the principal sum
of _______ together with interest from the date of this Note on the unpaid
principal balance, upon the terms and conditions specified below.

        1.     Term. The outstanding principal balance of this Note, together
with interest accrued and unpaid to date, shall be due and payable on the first
to occur of the following (the "Maturity Date"): (a) April ___, 2005; (b) one
year from the effective date of the termination of the Borrower's employment
with the Company (or any present or future parent and/or subsidiaries of the
Company) for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause, or (c) Borrower's
sale or disposition of the Collateral (as defined below).

        2.     Rate of Interest; Payments of Interest. Interest shall accrue
under this Note on any unpaid principal balance at the rate of six percent
(6.0%) per annum, compounded annually. Interest shall be calculated on the basis
of actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days. Accrued but unpaid
interest shall be payable on each anniversary of the date hereof and on the
Maturity Date. If any payment required hereunder is not be paid when due, it
shall be added to the principal and thereafter bear like interest as the
principal. Notwithstanding any provision in this Note, it is the parties' intent
not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than
the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall
deem applicable hereto (which under applicable law shall be deemed to be the
laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans).

        3.     Payments; Allocation of Payments. Principal and interest are
payable in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be
credited first to interest then due and the remainder to principal.

        4.     Optional Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the option to prepay
all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note, provided (i) the
Borrower provides the Company with at lease ten (10) business days' written
notice of his election to make such prepayment; and (ii) pays, on the date of
such prepayment: (a) all unpaid accrued interest through and including the date
of such prepayment; and (b) all other sums which are due or owing under this
Note and the Pledge Agreement, as defined below, as of the date of such
prepayment.

        5.     Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute an Event of Default hereunder (each, an "Event of Default"):

               a.  The failure of the Borrower to pay when due any payment of
                   principal or interest under this Note;

               b.  The failure of the Borrower to perform, keep, or observe any
                   material term, provision, condition, covenant, or agreement
                   contained in this Note, the Pledge Agreement, or in any other
                   present or future agreement between the Borrower and the
                   Company;

<PAGE>

               c.  The Borrower becomes insolvent;

               d.  The commencement by the Borrower of any proceeding under any
                   provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended,
                   or under any other bankruptcy or insolvency law, including
                   assignments for the benefit of creditors, formal or informal
                   moratoria, compositions, extension generally with creditors,
                   or proceedings seeking reorganization, arrangement, or other
                   relief (collectively, an "Insolvency Proceeding"), or the
                   commencement against the Borrower of an Insolvency Proceeding
                   that is not dismissed or stayed within thirty (30) days;

               e.  The occurrence of any default, including the breach of any
                   representation, warranty or covenant, under the Pledge
                   Agreement or any obligation secured thereby; and

               f.  One year from the termination of the Borrower's employment
                   with the Company (or any present or future parent and/or
                   subsidiaries of the Company) following the Borrower's
                   resignation of his employment with the Company (or any
                   present or future parent and/or subsidiaries of the Company).

        6.     Acceleration. The entire unpaid principal sum and unpaid interest
under this Note shall become due and payable: (a) immediately upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 6(d) or 6(f) hereof; and (b)
upon written notice by the Company following any other Event of Default or
following the Company's determination, in its sole discretion, that such
acceleration is reasonably necessary for the Company to comply with any
regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
affecting the extension of credit in connection with the Company's securities.

        7.     Security. Payment and performance of this Note is secured by the
property referenced in the Stock Pledge Agreement, dated as of the date hereof,
executed and delivered by the Borrower in connection herewith, as amended and
supplemented from time to time (the "Pledge Agreement"), and covering, among
other things _____________ shares of the Company's Common Stock (collectively,
the "Collateral"). The Borrower shall remain personally liable for payment in
full of this Note.

        8.     Waiver of Demand and Presentment. The Borrower waives demand,
presentment, notice of protest, notice of demand, dishonor, diligence in
collection and notices of intention to accelerate maturity. Any such
acceleration may be automatically effectuated by the Company by making an entry
to such effect in its records, in which event the unpaid balance on this Note
shall become immediately due and payable without demand or notice. The Borrower
hereby waives to the full extent permitted by law all rights to plead any
statute of limitations as a defense to any action hereunder.

        9.     Enforcement. In the event the Company incurs any costs or fees in
order to enforce payment of this Note or any portion thereof, the Borrower
agrees to pay to the Company, in addition to such amounts as are owed pursuant
to this Note, such costs and fees, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses.

        10.    No Waiver. No previous waiver and no failure or delay by the
Company or the Borrower in acting with respect to the terms of this Note or the
Stock Pledge Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any breach, default or
failure of condition under this Note, the Pledge Agreement or the obligations
secured thereby. A waiver of any term of this Note, the Pledge Agreement or of
any of the obligations secured thereby must be made in writing and signed by a
duly authorized officer of the Company and shall be limited to the express terms
of such waiver.

all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to any of the Stock or any
part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement;

forthwith delivered to Secured Party as Collateral in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement), and, if deemed appropriate by Secured
Party, Pledgor shall take such actions as Secured Party may require.

               (c)  Proxy Statements. Secured Party shall execute and deliver
(or cause to be executed and delivered) to Pledgor all such proxies and other
instruments as Pledgor may reasonably request for the purposes of enabling
Pledgor to exercise those voting and other rights that Pledgor is entitled to
exercise and to receive those dividends or distributions that Pledgor is
authorized to receive and retain.

        PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS SECURED PARTY THE
PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF PLEDGOR, COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST, WITH FULL POWER
OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO; SUCH PROXY SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AND
TERMINATE ONLY UPON THE INDEFEASIBLE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE OBLIGATIONS.

        4.     Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an
event of default ("Event of Default") hereunder:

               (a)  The occurrence of an event of default under the Note as
defined therein; or

               (b)  The breach of any provision of this Agreement by Pledgor or
the failure by Pledgor to observe or perform any of the provisions of this
Agreement.

        5.     Secured Party's Remedies Upon Default.

               (a)  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, (i) Secured Party shall have the right to receive any and all cash
dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral
and make application thereof to the Obligations, and (ii) any or all of the
Pledged Collateral shall be registered in the name of Secured Party or its
nominee, and Secured Party or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all rights
pertaining to such Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders of the
relevant issuer or issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of
conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or
options pertaining to such Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner
thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion
any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate
structure of any issuer, or upon the exercise by Pledgor or Secured Party of any
right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Collateral, and in
connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the
Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or
other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may
determine), all without liability except to account for property actually
received by it, but Secured Party shall have no duty to Pledgor to exercise any
such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to
do so or delay in so doing. Secured Party shall have all of the rights of a
secured party under the UCC in effect from time to time in the relevant
jurisdiction.

                                       3
<PAGE>

               (b)  Pledgor recognizes that Secured Party may be unable to
effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral, by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in federal securities laws and applicable state
securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more
private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged
to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account
for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.
Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices
and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be
deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Secured Party
shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral
for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such
securities for public sale under federal securities laws or under applicable
state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

               (c)  After the disposal of any of the Pledged Collateral, Secured
Party may deduct all reasonable legal and other expenses and attorney's fees for
protecting its interests and enforcing its remedies under the Notes and this
Agreement and shall apply the residue of the proceeds to, or hold as a reserve
against, the Obligations in such manner as Secured Party in its reasonable
discretion shall determine, and shall pay the balance, if any to Pledgor.

        6.     Power of Attorney. Pledgor hereby appoints Secured Party, its
attorney-in-fact to prepare, sign (if applicable) and file or record, for
Pledgor in Pledgor's name, any financing statements, applications for
registration and like papers and to take any other action deemed by Secured
Party necessary or desirable in order to perfect the security interest of
Secured Party hereunder, to dispose of any Pledged Collateral, and to perform
any obligations of Pledgor hereunder, but without obligation to do so.

        7.     Choice Of Law And Venue; Jury Trial Waiver.

        This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of
conflicts of laws. Each of Pledgor and Secured Party hereby submits to the
jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in the County of Santa
Clara, State of California. PLEDGOR AND SECURED PARTY EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR
ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
THEREIN, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF
DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES
AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR IT TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS
REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL
COUNSEL.

        8.     General Provisions.

               (a)  Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure
to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the
parties; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder
may be assigned by Pledgor without Secured Party's prior written consent.

               (b)  Amendments in Writing, Integration. This Agreement cannot be
amended or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings,
representations, warranties, and negotiations

                                       4

between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement,
if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Note.

               (c)  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of
which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all
of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement the
day and year first above written.
