II.      AGREEMENT
         ---------

         1.  Grant of Option.  The Plan  Administrator of the Company hereby
             ---------------
grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the "Notice of
Grant"),  an Option to purchase  the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of
Grant,  at the  Exercise  Price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant,  and
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by
reference.  Subject  to  Section  10.4 of the Plan,  in the event of a  conflict
between  the terms and  conditions  of the Plan and this Option  Agreement,  the
terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

         If  designated  in the  Notice of Grant as an  Incentive  Stock  Option
("ISO"),  this  Option is intended to qualify as an  Incentive  Stock  Option as
defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless,  to the extent that it exceeds
the  $100,000  rule of Code  Section  422(d),  this Option shall be treated as a
Nonstatutory Stock Option ("NSO").

         2.  Exercise of Option.
             ------------------

             (a) Right to  Exercise.  This  Option  shall be  exercisable during
                 ------------------
its term in accordance with the Vesting  Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant
and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

             (b)  Method of Exercise.  This Option shall be exercisable by deli-
                  ------------------
very of an  exercise  notice in the form  attached  as Exhibit A (the  "Exercise
Notice")  which shall state the election to exercise  the Option,  the number of
Shares  with  respect  to which the  Option is being  exercised,  and such other
representations  and agreements as may be required by the Company.  The Exercise
Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all
Exercised  Shares.  This Option shall be deemed to be exercised  upon receipt by
the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice  accompanied by the aggregate
Exercise Price.

             No Shares shall be issued  pursuant  to the  exercise  of an Option
unless such issuance and such exercise  complies with Applicable Laws.  Assuming
such  compliance,  for  income  tax  purposes  the  Shares  shall be  considered
transferred  to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is  exercised  with
respect to such Shares.

         3.  Optionee's Representations.  In the event the Shares have not been
             --------------------------
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this Option
is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Company,  concurrently with
the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or
her Investment  Representation  Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B.

         4.  Lock-Up  Period.  Optionee hereby agrees that, if so requested by
             ---------------
the  Company  or  any   representative   of  the  underwriters   (the  "MANAGING
UNDERWRITER")  in  connection  with  any  registration  of the  offering  of any
securities of the Company under the Securities  Act,  Optionee shall not sell or
otherwise  transfer  any Shares or other  securities  of the Company  during the
180-day  period  (or such  other  period as may be  requested  in writing by the
Managing  Underwriter  and  agreed to in writing by the  Company)  (the  "MARKET
STANDOFF  PERIOD")  following the effective date of a registration  statement of
the Company filed under the Securities Act. Such restriction shall apply only to
the first  registration  statement of the Company to become  effective under the
Securities  Act that includes  securities to be sold on behalf of the Company to
the public in an  underwritten  public  offering under the  Securities  Act. The
Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject
to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period.

         5.  Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be
             -----------------
by any of the  following,  or a  combination  thereof,  at the  election  of the
Optionee:

             (a) cash or check;

             (b) consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless
exercise  program  adopted by the Company in  connection  with the Plan;  or

             (c) surrender  of other  Shares  which, (i) in the  case of  Shares
acquired  upon  exercise of an option,  have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six (6) months on the date of surrender,  and (ii) have a Fair Market Value
on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate  Exercise Price of the Exercised
Shares.

         6.  Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised until
             ------------------------
such time as the Plan has been approved by the  shareholders of the Company,  or
if the  issuance of such  Shares upon such  exercise or the method of payment of
consideration  for such shares would  constitute  a violation of any  Applicable
Law.

         7.  Non-Transferability  of Option.  This Option may not be transferred
             ------------------------------
in any manner  otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or  distribution
and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. The terms
of the Plan and this  Option  Agreement  shall be  binding  upon the  executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

         8.  Term of Option.  This Option may be exercised only within the term
             --------------
set out in the Notice of Grant,  and may be  exercised  during such term only in
accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.

         9.  Tax Consequences.  et forth below is a brief summary as of the date
             ----------------
of this  Option of some of the  federal  tax  consequences  of  exercise of this
Option and disposition of the Shares.


                                      -3-


<PAGE>


THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY  INCOMPLETE,  AND THE TAX LAWS AND  REGULATIONS  ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE  EXERCISING
THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

             (a) Exercise of NSO. There may be a regular federal income tax
                 ---------------
liability  upon the exercise of an NSO.  The Optionee  will be treated as having
received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the
excess,  if any, of the Fair Market  Value of the Shares on the date of exercise
over the Exercise  Price. If Optionee is an Employee or a former  Employee,  the
Company will be required to withhold  from  Optionee's  compensation  or collect
from Optionee and pay to the  applicable  taxing  authorities  an amount in cash
equal to a percentage of this compensation  income at the time of exercise,  and
may  refuse  to  honor  the  exercise  and  refuse  to  deliver  Shares  if such
withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

             (b) Exercise of ISO. If this Option qualifies as an ISO,  there
                 ---------------
will be no regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option,
although the excess,  if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
of exercise  over the  Exercise  Price will be treated as an  adjustment  to the
alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to
the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

             (c) Disposition  of  Shares.  In the case of an NSO,  if Shares are
                 -----------------------
held for at least one year,  any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will
be treated as long-term  capital gain for federal  income tax  purposes.  In the
case of an ISO,  if Shares  transferred  pursuant  to the Option are held for at
least one year after exercise and of at least two years after the Date of Grant,
any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be treated as long-term
capital gain for federal income tax purposes.  If Shares  purchased under an ISO
are  disposed  of within one year after  exercise or two years after the Date of
Grant,  any gain realized on such  disposition  will be treated as  compensation
income  (taxable  at  ordinary  income  rates) to the  extent of the  difference
between the  Exercise  Price and the lesser of (1) the Fair Market  Value of the
Shares  on the date of  exercise,  or (2) the  sale  price  of the  Shares.  Any
additional gain will be taxed as capital gain, short-term or long-term depending
on the period that the ISO Shares were held.

             (d) Notice of Disqualifying  Disposition of ISO Shares. If the
                 --------------------------------------------------
Option granted to Optionee  herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise
disposes  of any of the  Shares  acquired  pursuant  to the ISO on or before the
later of (1) the date two (2) years after the Date of Grant, or (2) the date one
year after the date of  exercise,  the  Optionee  shall  immediately  notify the
Company in writing of such  disposition.  Optionee  agrees that  Optionee may be
subject to income tax  withholding  by the  Company on the  compensation  income
recognized by the Optionee.

         10. Entire  Agreement;  Governing  Law.  The  Plan is  incorporated
             ----------------------------------
herein by reference.  The Plan and this Option  Agreement  constitute the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede
in their  entirety  all prior  undertakings  and  agreements  of the Company and
Optionee  with  respect to the subject  matter  hereof,  and may not be modified
adversely to the Optionee's  interest except by means of a writing signed by the
Company and  Optionee.  This  agreement  is governed by the laws of the State of
Washington.

         11. No Guarantee of Continued  Service.  OPTIONEE  ACKNOWLEDGES AND
             ----------------------------------
AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES  PURSUANT  TO THE VESTING  SCHEDULE  HEREOF IS
EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE  PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (NOT
THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED,  BEING  GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING  SHARES
HEREUNDER).  OPTIONEE FURTHER  ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT,  THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO
NOT  CONSTITUTE  AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED  PROMISE  OF  CONTINUED  ENGAGEMENT  AS A
SERVICE  PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD,  FOR ANY PERIOD,  OR AT ALL, AND SHALL
NOT  INTERFERE  IN ANY WAY  WITH  OPTIONEE'S  RIGHT  OR THE  COMPANY'S  RIGHT TO
TERMINATE  OPTIONEE'S  RELATIONSHIP  AS A SERVICE  PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR
WITHOUT CAUSE.

         Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that
he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof,  and hereby accepts
this Option  subject to all of the terms and  provisions  thereof.  Optionee has
reviewed  the Plan and  this  Option  Agreement  in their  entirety,  has had an
opportunity  to obtain the  advice of counsel  prior to  executing  this  Option
Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Option Agreement. Optionee
hereby  agrees to accept  as  binding,  conclusive  and final all  decisions  or
interpretations  of the Administrator  upon any questions arising under the Plan
or this Option Agreement. Optionee further agrees to notify the Company upon any
change in the residence address indicated below.

                       INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT


OPTIONEE:

COMPANY:          China Broadband Corp.

SECURITY:

AMOUNT:

DATE:

         In connection  with the purchase of the  above-listed  Securities,  the
undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following:

          (a)  Optionee  is  aware  of the  Company's  business  affairs  and
financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to
reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee
is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee's own account only and
not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof
within the meaning of the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the  "SECURITIES
ACT").

          (b)  Optionee  acknowledges  and  understands  that the  Securities
constitute  "RESTRICTED  SECURITIES"  under the Securities Act and have not been
registered  under the  Securities  Act in  reliance  upon a  specific  exemption
therefrom,  which  exemption  depends upon,  among other  things,  the bona fide
nature of Optionee's  investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection,
Optionee   understands  that,  in  the  view  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission,  the  statutory  basis  for such  exemption  may be  unavailable  if
Optionee's representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold
these  Securities  for the minimum  capital  gains  period  specified  under tax
statutes,  for a deferred  sale,  for or until an  increase  or  decrease in the
market price of the  Securities,  or for a period of one year or any other fixed
period in the future.  Optionee further  understands that the Securities must be
held indefinitely  unless they are subsequently  registered under the Securities
Act or an  exemption  from such  registration  is  available.  Optionee  further
acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register
the  Securities.  Optionee  understands  that  the  certificate  evidencing  the
Securities  will be imprinted with a legend which  prohibits the transfer of the
Securities  unless they are registered or such  registration  is not required in
the  opinion  of  counsel  satisfactory  to the  Company,  and any other  legend
required under applicable state securities laws.

          (c)  Optionee  is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule
144, each  promulgated  under the Securities Act,  which,  in substance,  permit
limited  public  resale  of  "restricted   securities"  acquired,   directly  or
indirectly  from the issuer  thereof,  in a non-public  offering  subject to the
satisfaction  of  certain  conditions.  Rule  701  provides  that if the  issuer
qualifies under Rule 701 at the


<PAGE>


time of the grant of the Option to the  Optionee,  the  exercise  will be exempt
from  registration  under the Securities  Act. In the event the Company  becomes
subject to the reporting  requirements  of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  90 days  thereafter (or such longer period as
any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701
may be  resold,  subject  to  the  satisfaction  of  certain  of the  conditions
specified by Rule 144, including:  (1) the resale being made through a broker in
an unsolicited "broker's  transaction" or in transactions directly with a market
maker (as said term is defined  under the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as
amended);  and, in the case of an  affiliate,  (2) the  availability  of certain
public  information  about the Company,  (3) the amount of Securities being sold
during any three-month  period not exceeding the  limitations  specified in Rule
144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

         In the event that the Company  does not  qualify  under Rule 701 at the
time of grant of the  Option,  then the  Securities  may be  resold  in  certain
limited  circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the
resale  to  occur  not  less  than  one  year  after  the  later of the date the
Securities  were sold by the Company or the date the Securities  were sold by an
affiliate  of the Company,  within the meaning of Rule 144;  and, in the case of
acquisition  of  the  Securities  by an  affiliate,  or by a  non-affiliate  who
subsequently  holds the Securities less than two years,  the satisfaction of the
conditions  set  forth  in  sections  (1),  (2),  (3) and  (4) of the  paragraph
immediately above.

          (d)  Optionee  further  understands  that in the  event  all of the
applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under
the Securities Act,  compliance  with  Regulation A, or some other  registration
exemption will be required;  and that,  notwithstanding  the fact that Rules 144
and 701 are not exclusive,  the Staff of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
has  expressed  its opinion  that persons  proposing  to sell private  placement
securities  other than in a registered  offering and otherwise  than pursuant to
Rule 144 or 701 will have a substantial  burden of proof in establishing that an
exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such
persons and their respective  brokers who participate in such transactions do so
at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any
such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

                                          Signature of Optionee:
