      Dear
Michael:

      


      Concerning:    
Letter Agreement

      


      We are
extremely pleased that you (herein referred to as the “Director”) have agreed to
accept our offer to join the Board of Directors of Composite Technology
Corporation. We would very much like to have your commitment to become a member
of our Board of Directors and assist us to the growth of our
company.

      


      This
letter is intended to formalize the terms of your participation as a member of
the Board of Directors of Composite Technology Corporation, a Nevada Corporation
(the "Corporation").

      


      The term
of your role as a member of the Board of Directors for the Corporation will be
one (1) year or until the annual general meeting at which new directors are
selected.  You agree that the terms set out in the present letter
agreement will also govern any extension of such initial period by your
reelection as a member of the Board of Directors at any future annual general
meetings at which directors are selected on the same terms as those set out
herein, for a period of up to two (2) additional terms (for a total of up to
three (3) years).

      


      As
compensation for your good faith efforts to provide direction for the
Corporation as well as promote the business interests of the Corporation, the
Corporation will grant you a monthly payment of four thousand dollars ($4,000),
provided, that you are still participating as a Corporation Board Member as of
each month end (“Remuneration”).

      


      We
further are asking you to accept a position on the Compensation Committee, which
will be compensated by an additional $500 per month.  We are also
asking you to serve on the Audit Committee, which will be compensated by an
additional $500 per month.  Should you be selected to serve as the
Chairman of either committee, you would receive an additional $500 per
month.

      


      In
addition, the Corporation will grant you 500,000 options to purchase shares of
the Corporation’s common stock at a price of $0.35 per share (the “Granted
Options”).  The Granted Options will vest in 12 equal portions (with
any fraction vesting with the last to vest of such portions).  The
first portion of the Granted Options shall vest on that date three (3) months
following the date of the initial Board grant and each successive portion shall
thereafter vest at intervals of three (3) month.

      


      You shall
also be entitled, in accordance with the Corporation’s applicable policies and
rules in force, to reimbursement of reasonable expenses which are incurred (i)
in traveling to meetings more than 1 hour away and (ii) in performing your
responsibilities hereunder to the extent that incurring such expenses is
pre-approved by the Corporation.  The Corporation will also provide
you with the benefit of liability insurance as a member of the Corporation’s
Board of Directors.

      


      Since the
legislation and practice governing the attitudes, roles and responsibilities of
directors is evolving constantly, you are required to read and to understand the
duties and obligations that are incumbent on members of the Board of Directors
of the Corporation on an on-going basis to keep up to date.

responsibility to respond in timely fashion to requests to review, agree on an
acceptable text and execute such resolutions.

      


      In
performing your services on the Board of Directors, you will be an independent
contractor and not an employee of the Corporation.  You will not be
entitled to any additional compensation or participate in any benefit plans of
the Corporation in connection with your services hereunder.  You may
not bind the Corporation or act as a principal or agent thereof.

thereof.  You understand that such Remuneration will be subjected to
the restrictions in the Corporation's Charter and Bylaws and will not be freely
transferable and you represent that you either have a preexisting personal or
business relationship with the Corporation or its Board of Directors or
controlling persons or, by reason of your business or financial experience, have
the capacity to protect your own interest in connection with receiving any
Remuneration as compensation.  You further represent that you were not
solicited by publication of any advertisement in connection with the receipt of
such Remuneration and that you have consulted tax counsel as needed regarding
such Remuneration.

      


      Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, your participation on the Corporation's Board of
Directors may be terminated at any time for any or no reason by you or the
Corporation upon written notice to the other party, provided, however that in
the event of your seeking to terminate your directorship such resignation must
be accepted by the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of Section
3.12 of the Corporations Bylaws.  Upon such termination, the right to
compensation hereunder will terminate subject to the Corporation's obligation to
reimburse you any approved expenses already incurred, and your right to retain
the Granted Options to the extent such Options have vested prior to such
termination or the compensation committee shall allow any accelerated
vesting.

      


      While
serving as a director, you will acquire and have access to confidential or
proprietary information about the Corporation, for as long as you are a director
of the Corporation and for a period after you cease to be a Director you shall
maintain the confidentiality of any and all such information in accordance with
the terms of your “Proprietary Rights Agreement” signed concurrently herewith
(“PAA”). The terms of the PAA are incorporated herein and form a part of your
duties and obligations as a director.
