among the stockholders listed on the signature page(s) hereto (collectively,
"Stockholders" and each individually, a "Stockholder"), Open Market, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company") and divine, inc., a Delaware corporation
("Parent"). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement referred to
below.
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholders collectively own of
record and beneficially shares of capital stock of Parent, as set forth on
Schedule I hereto (such shares, or any other voting or equity of securities of
Parent hereafter acquired by any Stockholder prior to the termination of this
Agreement, being referred to herein collectively as the "Shares");
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent and
the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the
date hereof (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions thereof, a subsidiary of Parent will be merged with
and into the Company, and the Company will be the surviving corporation (the
"Merger"); and
WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of the Company to enter into
the Merger Agreement, the Company has required that the Stockholders agree, and
in order to induce the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, the
Stockholders are willing to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereby agree, severally and not jointly, as follows:
Section 1. VOTING OF SHARES.
(a) Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that, until the termination
of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, at the Parent Stockholder
Meeting or any other meeting of the stockholders of Parent, however called, and
in any action by written consent of the stockholders of Parent, such Stockholder
will vote, or cause to be voted, all of such Stockholder's respective Shares in
favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger, and the
issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, as the Merger Agreement may be modified or amended from time to time
in a manner not adverse to the Stockholders.
(b) Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, the
Company, and any individual designated in writing by the Company, and each of
them individually, as such Stockholder's proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full
power of substitution), for and in its name, place and stead, to vote his, her
or its Shares at any meeting of the stockholders of Parent called with respect
to any of the matters specified in, and in accordance and consistent with this
Section 1. Each Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the Company is
entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder's execution
and delivery of this Agreement. Each Stockholder hereby affirms that the
irrevocable proxy set forth in this
Section 1(b) is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement,
and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties
of such Stockholder under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for
herein, each Stockholder hereby (i) affirms that the irrevocable proxy is
coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked, (ii)
ratifies and confirms all that the proxies appointed hereunder may lawfully do
or cause to be done by virtue hereof and (iii) affirms that such irrevocable
proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the
provisions of Section 212(e) of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the
irrevocable proxy granted hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the
termination of this Agreement.
Section 2. TRANSFER OF SHARES. Each Stockholder covenants and agrees
that such Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, assign,
transfer (including by merger, testamentary disposition, interspousal
disposition pursuant to a domestic relations proceeding or otherwise by
operation of law), pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares,
(ii) deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting
agreement or arrangement with respect to the Shares or grant any proxy or power
of attorney with respect thereto which is inconsistent with this Agreement or
(iii) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with
respect to the direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer (including by
merger, testamentary disposition, interspousal disposition pursuant to a
domestic relations proceeding or otherwise by operation of law) or other
disposition of any Shares.
Section 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDERS. Each
Stockholder, on its own behalf, hereby severally represents and warrants to the
Company with respect to itself and its, his or her ownership of the Shares as
follows:
(a) OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. The Stockholder beneficially owns all of the
Shares as set forth on Schedule I hereto and has good and marketable title to
such Shares, free and clear of any claims, liens, encumbrances and security
interests whatsoever. The Stockholder owns no shares of Parent Common Stock
other than the Shares as set forth on Schedule I hereto. The Stockholder has
sole voting power, without restrictions, with respect to all of the Shares.
(b) POWER, BINDING AGREEMENT. The Stockholder has the legal capacity
and all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform all of its
obligations, under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance
with its terms.
(c) NO CONFLICTS. The execution and delivery of this Agreement do not,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict
with or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse
of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or
acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, any
provision of any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture,
lease, or other agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license,
judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable
to the Stockholder, the Shares or any of the Stockholder's properties or assets.
Except as expressly contemplated hereby and except as may be disclosed in the
Parent SEC Reports, the Stockholder is not a party to, and the Shares are not
2
subject to or bound in any manner by, any contract or agreement relating to the
Shares, including without limitation, any voting agreement, option agreement,
purchase agreement, stockholders' agreement, partnership agreement or voting
trust. Except for the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the
HSR Act and informational filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or
filing with, any court, administrative agency or commission or other
governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic, foreign or supranational,
is required by or with respect to the Stockholder in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Stockholder
of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 4. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate upon the
termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms; PROVIDED that
no such termination of this Agreement shall relieve any party of liability for a
willful breach hereof prior to termination.
Section 5. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The parties hereto agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was
not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be
entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other
remedy at law or in equity.
Section 6. FIDUCIARY DUTIES. Each Stockholder is signing this Agreement
solely in such Stockholder's capacity as an owner of his, her or its respective
Shares, and nothing herein shall prohibit, prevent or preclude such Stockholder
from taking or not taking any action in his or her capacity as an officer or
director of the Company, to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement.
Section 7. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
between the parties with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be amended,
modified or rescinded except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the
parties hereto.
(b) SEVERABILITY. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public
policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless
remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto
shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the
original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the
terms of this Agreement remain as originally contemplated to the fullest extent
possible.

accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the

are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the
meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement
shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their
mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any
party. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement

singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa.
Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be
deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless

security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Any
party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy
of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner
provided for the giving of notices in Section 7(e). Nothing in this Section,
