     Cash payment delivered
     herewith:                          $______________

     By this exercise, I agree (i) to provide such additional documents as you
may require pursuant to the terms of Be Incorporated 1992 Stock Option Plan,
(ii) to provide for the payment by me to you (in the manner designated by you)
of your withholding obligation, if any, relating to the exercise of this option,
and (iii) if this exercise relates to an incentive stock option, to notify you
in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date of any disposition of any of
the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this option that occurs
within two (2) years after the date of grant of this option or within one (1)
year after such shares of Common Stock are issued upon exercise of this option.

     I hereby make the following certifications and representations with respect
to the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company listed above (the
"Shares"), which are being acquired by me for my own account upon exercise of
the Option as set forth above:

     I acknowledge that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and are deemed to constitute
"restricted securities" under Rule 701 and "control securities" under Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act. I warrant and represent to the Company
that I have no present intention of distributing or selling said Shares, except
as permitted under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

                                      1.
<PAGE>

     I further acknowledge that I will not be able to resell the Shares for at
least ninety days (90) after the stock of the Company becomes publicly traded
(i.e., subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) under Rule 701 and that more restrictive
conditions apply to affiliates of the Company under Rule 144.

     I further acknowledge that all certificates representing any of the Shares
subject to the provisions of the Option shall have endorsed thereon appropriate
legends reflecting the foregoing limitations, as well as any legends reflecting
restrictions pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and/or
applicable securities laws.

     I further agree that, if required by the Company (or a representative of
the underwriters) in connection with the first underwritten registration of the
offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, I will not
sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company during such period (not to exceed one hundred eighty
(180) days) following the effective date of the registration statement of the
Company filed under the Securities Act as may be requested by the Company or the
representative of the underwriters. I further agree that the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing
restrictions until the end of such period.

                                    Very truly yours,



                                    ___________________________________
