                        COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                                R E C I T A L S :
                                -----------------


      WHEREAS  the  Optionee  has  or is to  render  valuable  services  to  the
Corporation (or a Parent or Subsidiary), and the Corporation wishes to grant the
Optionee a stock option pursuant to this Agreement; and

      WHEREAS all  capitalized  terms in this  Agreement  shall have the meaning
assigned to them in the attached Appendix.

      NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

      1. Grant of Option. The Corporation  hereby grants to Optionee,  as of the
Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares specified in
the Grant  Notice.  The Option  Shares  shall be  purchasable  from time to time
during the option term specified in Section 2 hereof at the Exercise Price.

      2. Option  Term.  This Option  shall  terminate  on December 31, 2011 (the
"Expiration  Date") and shall accordingly expire at the close of business on the
Expiration  Date,  unless sooner  terminated in accordance  with Sections 6 or 7
hereof.

      3. Dates of Exercise.  This Option shall become exercisable for the Option
Shares in one or more  installments  as  specified in the Grant  Notice.  As the
Option becomes  exercisable  for such  installments,  those  installments  shall
accumulate  and  the  Option  shall  remain   exercisable  for  the  accumulated
installments  until the Expiration Date subject to the provisions of termination
and accelerated  vesting or sooner termination of the option term under Sections
6 or 7 hereof.

      4. Manner of Exercising Option.

            (a) In order to exercise this Option with respect to all or any part
of the Option Shares for which this Option is at the time exercisable,  Optionee
(or any other person or persons  exercising  the Option) must take the following
actions:

                  (i) Execute and deliver to the Chief Executive  Officer of the
Corporation the Option Exercise Form.

                  (ii) Pay the  aggregate  of the  number of  options  exercised
multiplied by the Exercise Price for the purchased  shares in one or more of the
following  forms: (A) cash or (B) cashiers' check, (C) certified check, (D) bank
draft, (E) money order or (F) wire transfer.

                  (iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation (A)
confirming  the identity of the person or persons  exercising the Option and (B)
confirming  that the  person or  persons  exercising  the  Option (if other than
Optionee)  have the right to  exercise  this  Option and (C)  establishing  such
person or persons residency and/or tax status under US applicable laws.

                  (iv) Make  appropriate  arrangements  with the Corporation (or
Parent or Subsidiary  employing or retaining  Optionee) for the  satisfaction of
all Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding  requirements
applicable to the option  exercise.  In this respect,  however,  the Corporation
shall have the right at its sole  discretion  before the  delivery of any Option
Shares pursuant to an exercise,  the Corporation  shall be entitled to deduct or
withhold,  or  require  an  Optionee  to remit  to the  Corporation,  an  amount
sufficient to satisfy any federal,  state and local taxes required to be paid or
withheld with respect to such exercise


                                       -1-
<PAGE>

            (b) As soon as practical  after the Exercise Date,  the  Corporation
shall  issue to or on  behalf  of  Optionee  (or any  other  person  or  persons
exercising this Option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares,  with the
appropriate  legends  (if any)  affixed  thereto.  To the extent any such Option
Shares are unvested,  the certificates for those Option Shares shall be endorsed
with an appropriate  legend evidencing the  Corporation's  repurchase rights and
may be held in escrow with the Corporation until such shares vest.

            (c) In no event may this  Option  be  exercised  for any  fractional
shares.

      5. Limited Transferability.  This Option shall be neither transferable nor
assignable  by  Optionee  other  than  by will or by the  laws  of  descent  and
distribution following Optionee's death and may be exercised,  during Optionee's
lifetime, only by Optionee.

            6. Cessation of Service.

            (a) In the event that the Optionee shall (i) voluntarily resign from
his  position  or,  (ii) in the  case of an  Optionee  who is a  Director,  such
Optionee  shall  either  refuse to stand for  reelection  when  requested by the
Chairman or the Board of  Directors  at any time within a 3 year period from the
date of the Grant Notice or shall not be reelected at the Shareholders'  Meeting
at which such elections are annually scheduled to occur, then any portion of the
Option that has not yet vested in  accordance  with the Grant Notice shall cease
to be  outstanding  and shall  immediately  be  cancelled  as of the date of the
termination Service,  provided however,  that any portion of the Option that has
vested  shall  remain   exercisable  until  the  Expiration  Date.  For  greater
certainty, it is understood,  that in the event of the occurrence of an event of
cessation  of Service  provided  by this  Section  6(a),  this Option may not be
exercised in the  aggregate for more than the number of vested Option Shares for
which the Option is exercisable at the time of Optionee's cessation of Service.

            (b) In the event that the  Optionee  shall (i) be  removed  from his
position as a Director of the Corporation for any reason other than  Misconduct,
or (ii)_not be asked to stand for  reelection at any time within a 3 year period
from the date of the Grant  Notice,  then any portion of the Option that has not
yet vested in accordance with the Grant Notice shall  immediately and fully vest
such that the  entire  Option  to  acquire  all of the  Option  shares  shall be
immediately  exercisable  and  remain  exercisable  until the  Expiration  Date,
provided however,  that the Optionee shall have completed a term of Service with
the Corporation of more than 6 full calendar months.

            (c) Should  Optionee's  Service be terminated for  Misconduct,  then
this Option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding.

      7. Special Acceleration of Option.

            (a) In the event of a Change in  Control,  any portion of the Option
to acquire  the Option  Shares that has not yet vested at the time of the Change
in Control shall automatically accelerate so that such Option shall, immediately
prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all
the  shares  of  Common  Stock at the time  subject  to such  Option  and may be
exercised  for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock
and remain  exercisable until the Expiration Date, unless and to the extent: (i)
this  Option  is, in  connection  with the  Change in  Control,  assumed  by the
successor  corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise  continued in full force
and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control  transaction;  or (ii)
this  Option  is  replaced  with  a cash  incentive  program  of  the  successor
corporation  which  preserves  the spread  existing at the time of the Change in
Control  on the  shares of Common  Stock for  which the  Option is  granted  and
provides for subsequent  payout of such cash amount within 3 month from the date
of the Change in Control.


                                       -2-
<PAGE>

            (b) If this Option is assumed in connection with a Change in Control
(or  otherwise  continued in full force and  effect),  then this Option shall be
appropriately  adjusted,  immediately after such Change in Control,  to apply to
the number  and class of  securities  or other  property  which  would have been
issuable to Optionee  in  consummation  of such Change in Control had the Option
been  exercised  immediately  prior to such Change in Control,  and  appropriate
adjustments  shall also be made to the Exercise  Price,  provided the  aggregate
Exercise  Price shall remain the same.  To the extent the actual  holders of the
Corporation's  outstanding  Common Stock  receive cash  consideration  for their
Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control transaction, the successor
corporation  may, in connection  with the assumption of this Option,  substitute
one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market  value  equivalent
to the cash  consideration  paid per  share of  Common  Stock in such  Change in
Control transaction.

            (c) This Option may also be subject to  acceleration  in  accordance
with the terms of any special Addendum attached to this Agreement.

            (d) This  Agreement  shall  not in any way  affect  the right of the
Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or
business  structure  or to merge,  consolidate,  dissolve,  liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

      8.  Adjustment in Option  Shares.  Should any change be made to the Common
Stock  by  reason  of  any  stock  split,   stock  dividend,   recapitalization,
combination  of  shares,  exchange  of  shares  or other  change  affecting  the
outstanding  Common  Stock  as a class  without  the  Corporation's  receipt  of
consideration,  appropriate  adjustments  shall be made to: (i) the total number
and/or class of securities  subject to this Option;  and (ii) the Exercise Price
in order to reflect such change and thereby  preclude a dilution or  enlargement
of benefits hereunder.

      9.  Stockholder  Rights.  The  holder  of this  Option  shall not have any
stockholder  rights with  respect to the Option  Shares  until such person shall
have exercised the Option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record
of the purchased shares.

      10. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.

            (a) The  exercise  of this  Option  and the  issuance  of the Option
Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the  Corporation and
Optionee with all applicable  requirements of law relating  thereto and with all
applicable  regulations  of  any  Stock  Exchange  (or a  NASDAQ  market  or the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, as applicable) on which the Common Stock may be
listed for trading at the time of such exercise and issuance.

            (b) The  inability of the  Corporation  to obtain  approval from any
regulatory  body having  authority  deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to
the lawful  issuance and sale of any Common Stock  pursuant to this Option shall
relieve the  Corporation  of any liability with respect to the  non-issuance  or
sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained.
The  Corporation,  however,  shall  use its  best  efforts  to  obtain  all such
approvals.

      11.  Successors and Assigns.  Except to the extent  otherwise  provided in
Sections 5 and 6 hereof,  the  provisions of this  Agreement  shall inure to the
benefit of, and be binding upon, the  Corporation and its successors and assigns
and  Optionee,  Optionee's  assigns  and the  legal  representatives,  heirs and
legatees of Optionee's estate.

      12.  Notices.  Any  notice  required  to be  given  or  delivered  to  the
Corporation  under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed
to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be
given or delivered to Optionee  shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at
the address  indicated below  Optionee's  name on the Grant Notice.  All notices
shall be deemed  effective  upon  personal  delivery or upon deposit in the U.S.
mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

      13. Construction.  All decisions of the Board with respect to any question
or issue arising  under this  Agreement  shall be conclusive  and binding on all
persons  having an  interest in this  Option.  Nothing in this  Agreement  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.

      14. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this
Agreement  shall be  governed  by the laws of the  State of  California  without
resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.
