STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, is made and entered into on and as of

January 25, 2005 (this "AGREEMENT"), by and among Greenfield Online, Inc., a

Delaware corporation ("BUYER"), and Rapidata.net, Inc., a North Carolina

corporation ("RAPIDATA" or the "COMPANY"), and John Gilmer Mebane, III, Benjamin

Douglas Feldman, Jesse Lipson, and Jennifer Lipson Towns, the shareholders of

the Company (collectively, the "SHAREHOLDERS", and each, a "SHAREHOLDER").

RECITALS:

1. The Shareholders are the sole owners of all the issued and

outstanding shares (the "SHARES") of the common stock, no par value per share,

of the Company (the "COMPANY COMMON STOCK"), and Buyer desires to purchase the

Shares from the Shareholders, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions

of this Agreement;

2. The Shareholders are willing to sell the Shares to Buyer upon the

terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement; and

3. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in

Section 10.3.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective

representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this

Agreement, the parties, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as

follows:

ARTICLE I : SALE AND PURCHASE OF SHARES

1.1. Sale and Purchase of the Shares. On the Closing Date, the

Shareholders agree to sell the Shares to Buyer and Buyer agrees to purchase the

Shares from the Shareholders (the "PURCHASE") for the Purchase Price set forth

in Section 1.2(a), subject to the terms and conditions and based upon the

representations and warranties contained herein.

1.2. Purchase Price, Payment and Adjustments.

(a)Purchase Price and Payment. The "PURCHASE PRICE" payable to

Shareholders consists of $5,500,000 cash (the "BASE CONSIDERATION"), as

adjusted by the Working Capital Adjustment, Transaction Cost Adjustment

and EBITDA Adjustment, each as defined and set forth in Section 1.2(c)

(and which together are referred to as "PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENTS"). At

the Closing, the Shareholders will be paid in aggregate an amount equal to

the Base Consideration adjusted by the Working Capital Adjustment and the

Transaction Cost Adjustment, less the amounts withheld in escrow as set

forth at Section 1.2(d) (the "CLOSING Payment"). The Closing Payment will

be paid by Buyer by company check payable to each Shareholder according to

the allocation table set forth in Schedule 1.2(a). The balance of the

Purchase Price (if any becomes due) will be payable according to the terms

of the Working Capital Adjustment, EBITDA Adjustment and escrow provisions

set forth below. The portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the

covenants not to compete set forth in the Non-

<PAGE>

Competition Agreements deliverable pursuant to Section 8.2(j) will equal

one percent of the Closing Payment paid at Closing.

(b)Pre-Closing Transfers. Prior to the Closing Date in

accordance with Section 7.2, the Company will transfer, distribute,

settle, pay and/or dispose of all of the items listed below (the

"TRANSFERRED ITEMS"); with the effect that Transferred Items will not be

owned by or be a liability of the Company, nor assumed by Buyer, at the

Closing Date: (i) any notes or accounts receivable due to the Company from

its officers, directors or the Shareholders, or due from the Company to

its officers, directors or the Shareholders; (ii) any automobiles or

vehicles leased or owned by the Company that are used for personal

purposes by the Shareholders or any employee of the Company, and any

leases or indebtedness on or relating to such automobiles or vehicles for

which the Company is liable in any manner whatsoever; (iii) all life

insurance policies owned by the Company or paid for by the Company; (iv)

all Company debt (including any notes, accounts payable or other debt that

the Company has been notified under 15 USC Section 1681c-2 has resulted

from identity theft), other than Transaction Costs that are to paid in

connection with the Closing pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(ii); (v) pension

plan and profit sharing obligations of the Company; (vi) the Right of

First Refusal Agreement dated as of February 2, 2004 by and between Durham

Historic Properties and the Company; and (vii) $100,000 Promissory Note of

the Company to Wachovia Bank, N.A. dated June 7 2004. Schedule 1.2(b)

contains a complete and accurate list of all Transferred Items. Any Taxes

or other costs and expenses incurred or generated in connection with such

transfers, distributions, terminations or disposals will be deemed to be

Transferred Items borne solely by the Shareholders. To the extent the

Company or Buyer incurs any cost or expense relating to the Transferred

Items after Closing, Buyer will be reimbursed by such amount from the

Primary Escrow.

(i)Working Capital Adjustment. The Base Consideration

will (1) be reduced by the amount, if any, by which Working Capital of the

Company as of the date of the Closing is less than $150,000 and (2) be increased

by the amount, if any, by which Working Capital of the Company as of the date of

Closing exceeds $150,000 (such amount, the "WORKING CAPITAL ADJUSTMENT"). For

purposes of this Agreement, "WORKING CAPITAL" of the Company is defined as the

amount by which the Company's cash and Current Accounts Receivable exceed the

sum of its total liabilities on and as of the Closing Date. "CURRENT ACCOUNTS

RECEIVABLE" are only those accounts receivable that are fewer than 60 days old

and excluding those that the Company and the Shareholders, in good faith,

believe are unlikely to be collected within 180 days of Closing. The Working

Capital Adjustment will be based upon an unaudited balance sheet (the "CLOSING

DATE BALANCE SHEET") that the parties will cause to be prepared in accordance

with GAAP (except that footnotes may be omitted) consistent with the past

practices of the Company. Buyer may choose to have the Closing Date Balance

Sheet prepared by a nationally-recognized, independent certified public

accounting firm selected by Buyer. The calculation and determination of the

Working Capital Adjustment will be made by Buyer and the Company at Closing and

will be deemed conclusive and binding on the parties. To the extent any amount

reflected as a Current Account Receivable on the Closing Date Balance Sheet is

not actually collected by the Company on or prior to 180 days after the Closing

Date, Buyer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for the full amount of such

account receivable plus any costs incurred in the attempt to collect it from the

Primary Escrow. To the extent the Company receives

<PAGE>

payment within 180 days of the Closing on any Company accounts receivable that

existed prior to the Closing, but that were not included as Current Accounts

Receivable, such amount shall be deposited in the Primary Escrow and distributed

to the Shareholders in the same percentages as set forth on Schedule 1.2(a) at

the end of such 180 day period. Nothing herein shall require the Company or

Buyer to take any action to collect any accounts receivable other than those

actions taken in their Ordinary Course of Business.

(ii) Transaction Cost Adjustment. At the Closing, Buyer

agrees to pay (or cause the Company to pay) all of the costs and expenses

incurred by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated

hereunder including all fees and expenses related to legal, accounting,

investment banking and financial advisory fees and expenses, and including the

fees and costs associated with auditing of any financials required hereunder

(the "TRANSACTION COSTS"). The Base Consideration will be reduced by the amount

of such reimbursed costs (the "TRANSACTION COST ADJUSTMENT"). Any Transaction

Costs that are presented to the Company or Buyer after Closing shall be paid by

Buyer and Buyer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for any such amounts from the

Primary Escrow.

(iii) EBITDA Adjustment. After Closing, Buyer will cause

to be prepared an audited balance sheet of the Company at and for the year ended

December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, statements of cash

flows and statements of stockholder equity for the period then ended, and the

notes and schedules thereto (the "AUDITED 2004 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"), together

with the report thereon, of PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP ("PWC"). For every

dollar that 2004 earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization

("EBITDA" reflected on the Audited 2004 Financial Statements is below $600,000,

the Purchase Price will be reduced by $9.16 (the "EBITDA ADJUSTMENT"). Buyer

shall be entitled to be reimbursed for the EBITDA Adjustment from the EBITDA

Escrow first, and to the extent it is depleted, the Primary Escrow. Upon receipt

of Audited 2004 Financial Statements that do not require an EBITDA Adjustment,

Buyer will promptly notify the Custodian under the Escrow Agreement defined in

the next section to release the EBITDA Escrow to the Shareholders.

(d)Escrows. The parties will enter into an escrow agreement

substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT A (the "ESCROW AGREEMENT").

The Escrow Agreement will provide for (1) a "PRIMARY ESCROW" initially

consisting of $550,000 withheld from the Purchase Price at Closing, and

(2) an "EBITDA ESCROW" initially consisting of $500,000 withheld from the

Purchase Price at Closing. The amounts in escrow will be released

according to the terms and procedures in the Escrow Agreement.

(e)Preparation of Audited Financial Statements. As soon as

reasonably practicable, but in any event, on or before February 18, 2005,

the Company will deliver to Buyer an audited balance sheet of the Company

as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations,

statements of cash flows and statements of stockholders equity for the

twelve month period then ended, and the notes and schedules thereto (the

"AUDITED 2004 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"), together with the unqualified report

of PwC thereon. The Audited Financial Statements shall be in all respects

reasonably acceptable to Buyer in form and substance.

<PAGE>

(f)Cancellation of Options, Warrants, Convertible Securities

and Treasury Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock held in the

treasury of the Company, if any, will, immediately prior to the Closing

Date, be canceled and extinguished and no payment will be made with

respect thereto. Any outstanding option, warrant, right or other security

convertible into or exercisable for any equity securities of the Company

not exercised or converted prior to the Closing will expire and/or be

cancelled.

1.3. Deliveries at Closing; Stock Transfer Books.

(a)At the Closing, (i) the Shareholders will deliver to Buyer

the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in

Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof, (ii) Buyer will deliver to the Shareholders

the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in

Sections 8.1 and 8.3 hereof, (iii) the Shareholders will deliver to Buyer

stock certificates representing all of the outstanding shares of the

Company, endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed assignment

documents, and (iv) Buyer will deliver to Shareholders the Closing

Payment.

(b)On the date of this Agreement, the stock transfer books of

the Company will be closed and there will be no further registration of

transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of

the Company. On and after the Closing Date, any certificates representing

shares of Company Common Stock will thereafter only represent the right to

receive a pro rata portion of the Purchase Price and such certificates,

upon presentation to Buyer, will be converted into the Purchase Price

consideration.

1.4 Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from

the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement

such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making

of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law.

If Buyer so deducts and withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all

purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Shares

in respect of which Buyer made such deduction and withholding.

ARTICLE II : CLOSING; CLOSING DATE

The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the

"CLOSING") will take place through the delivery of executed documents and

schedules at the offices of Buyer's attorneys, Preston Gates & Ellis LLP, 925

Fourth Avenue, Suite 2900, Seattle, Washington 98104-1158, on January 21, 2005,

or at such other location and on such other date as Buyer and the Shareholders

may mutually agree in writing (the "CLOSING DATE"). There will not be any

requirement for any party to attend the Closing in Seattle.
