                                    RECITALS

     A.  The  Consultant  has rendered  valuable  services to the  Company,  the
Company  desires to retain and utilize the services of the Consultant to enhance
the growth and  profitability  of the Company,  and the Consultant is willing to
serve as a consultant to the Company; and

     B.  Consultant acknowledges that while in the service of the Company and/or
any affiliate  thereof,  and for the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates
to operate  efficiently and  profitably,  Consultant will be exposed to, and the
Company must take reasonable steps to protect its ideas, methods,  developments,
strategies,  business  plans and financial and other  information of the Company
which are confidential and/or proprietary in nature and which are of significant
value to other persons or entities that operate in the Company's industry.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein and for
other good and valuable  consideration,  the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                                   AGREEMENTS

     1.  Consulting  Services.  The  Company  hereby  engages  Consultant  as an
independent contractor, and not as an employee, to render consulting services to
the  Company  as  hereinafter  provided,  and  Consultant  hereby  accepts  such
engagement.  Consultant shall not have any authority to bind or act on behalf of
the Company. Consultant shall consult with the Company regarding (a) mergers and
acquisitions and corporate  filings and (b) such other matters as the Consultant
and the Company may  periodically  agree.  Consultant shall be free to determine
the time and  location  and the manner in which he shall  render the  consulting
services  described  herein and he shall not be  required  to devote any minimum
number of hours per year to rendering such services.

     2.  Term.  This Agreement shall  terminate on the second anniversary of the
date of  this  Agreement.  Thereafter,  this  Agreement  may be  renewed  by the
Consultant  and the Board of  Directors  of this  Company  on such  terms as the
parties  may agree in writing.  As used  herein,  the term "term"  refers to the
entire  period  of  engagement  of  the  Consultant  hereunder,   including  any
extensions.

     3.  Company Defined.  For purposes of this  Agreement,  the term  "Company"
shall, unless the context  dictates  otherwise,  also mean any of the  Company's
subsidiaries or affiliates.

<PAGE>

     4.  Compensation.  The  Consultant  shall  receive as full compensation for
his  services a fee equal to 227,717  shares of common stock of the Company (the
"Shares").  The  Consultant's  fee shall be payable  upon the  execution of this
Agreement by issuance to the Consultant of certificates of the Company's  common
stock  representing the Shares.  Said fee shall be the only  compensation of any
kind payable to the Consultant  hereunder unless previously agreed in writing by
the  Company.  It is agreed that the Shares will be  registered  pursuant to the
Securities  Act of 1933 on Form S-8, and,  until such time as such  registration
has been  completed,  such Shares will bear a restrictive  legend in the form in
use by the Company.

     5.  Expenses.  Subject to the  Company's  prior  written  approval  in each
instance,  the  Company  shall  reimburse  the  Consultant  for his  normal  and
reasonable  expenses  incurred in the  performance  of the  Consultant's  duties
hereunder including for travel,  entertainment and similar items. As a condition
of  reimbursement,  the Consultant  agrees to provide the Company with copies of
all  available  invoices and receipts,  and otherwise  account to the Company in
sufficient detail to allow the Company to claim an income tax deduction for such
paid item, if such item is deductible. Reimbursements shall be made monthly.

     6.  Confidentiallty And Competitive Activities.  The Consultant agrees that
during the term he is in a  position  of special  trust and  confidence  and has
access to confidential and proprietary  information about the Company's business
and plans. The Consultant agrees that he will not directly or indirectly, either
as an employee, employer,  consultant,  agent, principal,  partner, stockholder,
corporate  officer,  director,  or in any similar  individual or  representative
capacity,  engage or participate in any business that is in competition,  in any
manner whatsoever,  with the Company.  Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing
to the contrary,  the Consultant  shall be allowed to invest as a shareholder in
publicly  traded  companies,  or through a venture capital firm or an investment
pool.

     7.  Trade Secrets.

     A.  Special Techniques.  It is hereby agreed that the Company has developed
or acquired certain technology,  know-how, unique or special methods,  processes
and  techniques,  trade secrets,  special  written  marketing  plans and special
customer arrangements,  supplier and customer lists and arrangements,  and other
proprietary  rights  and  confidential  information  and shall  during  the term
continue  to  develop,   compile  and  acquire   said  items  (all   hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Company's  Property").  It is expected that the
Consultant will gain knowledge of and utilize the Company's  Property during the
course and scope of the term, and will be in a position of trust with respect to
the Company's Property.

     B.  Company's  Property.  It is hereby agreed that the  Company's  Property
shall remain the Company's  sole  property.  If the  Consultant's  engagement is
terminated,  for whatever reason, the Consultant agrees not to copy, make known,
disclose or use,  any of the  Company's  Property  without the  Company's  prior
written consent which shall not be  unreasonably  withheld.  In such event,  the
Consultant  further  agrees not to endeavor  or attempt in any way to  interfere
with or induce a breach of any prior proprietary  contractual  relationship that
the  Company  may  have  with any  employee,  customer,  contractor,  suppliers,
representative, or distributor for two (2) years for two (2) years from the date
of termination of this  Agreement.  The  Consultant  agrees upon  termination of
engagement  to  deliver  to the  Company  all  confidential  papers,  documents,
records,  lists  and  notes  (whether  prepared  by the  Consultant  or  others)
comprising or containing the Company's Property.  The Consultant recognizes that
violation of covenants and agreements  contained in this Section 7 may result in
irreparable injury to the Company which would not be fully compensable by way of
money damages.

     C.  Covenant  Not to Compete.  For a period of two (2) years from  the date
of  any  termination  of the  Consultant's  engagement  with  the  Company,  the
Consultant shall not, directly or indirectly,  either as an employee,  employer,
consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director,
or in any other individual or representative capacity,  engage or participate in
any  activities  which are the same as, or  competitive  with, the activities in
which the Company is then engaged.

     8.  Independent  contractor  status.  In furnishing  Consultant's  services
hereunder,  the  Consultant  shall be acting  as an  independent  contractor  in
relation to the Company.  Accordingly, the Consultant shall have no authority to
act for or on behalf of the Company or to bind the  Company  without its express
written  consent and shall not be considered as having  employee  status for the
purpose of my  employee  benefit  plan  applicable  to the  Company's  employees
generally.

     9.  Miscellaneous.

     A.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement  constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding  between the parties with respect to the subject  matters  herein,

only upon the written consent of both parties to this Agreement

     B.  No Implied Waivers.  The failure of either party at any time to require
performance  by the other party of any provision  hereof shall not affect in any
way the right to require such performance at any time thereafter,  nor shall the
waiver by either party of a breach of any  provision  hereof be taken or held to
be a  waiver  of any  subsequent  breach  of the  same  provision  of any  other
provision.

     C.  Personal Services.  It is understood  that the services to be performed
by the  Consultant  hereunder  are  personal  in nature and the  obligations  to

provided  herein,  this  Agreement  shall  inure to the  benefit of and bind the
successors and assigns of the Company.

be determined to be invalid or inoperative, the validity and effect of the other
provisions  hereof  shall  not  be  affected  thereby,  provided  that  no  such
severability shall be effective if it causes a material detriment to any party.

                                NETCURRENTS, INC.

                      1998 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED

1.   PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.

     The purpose of this 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1998 Plan") is to
provide incentives and rewards to selected eligible directors, officers,
employees and consultants of Netcurrents, Inc. (the "Company") or its
subsidiaries in order to assist the Company and its subsidiaries in attracting,
retaining and motivating those persons by providing for or increasing the
proprietary interests of those persons in the Company, and by associating their
interests in the Company with those of the Company's stockholders.

2.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE 1998 PLAN.

     The 1998 Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board"), or a committee of the Board (the "Committee") whose
members shall serve at the pleasure of the Board. If administration is delegated
to the Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the
administration of the 1998 Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board
(and references in this 1998 Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the
Committee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the
provisions of the 1998 Plan as may be adopted from time to time by the Board.

     The Board shall have all the powers vested in it by the terms of the 1998
Plan, including exclusive authority (i) to select from among eligible directors,
officers, employees and consultants, those persons to be granted "Awards" (as
defined below) under the 1998 Plan; (ii) to determine the type, size and terms
of individual Awards (which need not be identical) to be made to each person
selected; (iii) to determine the time when Awards will be granted and to
establish objectives and conditions (including, without limitation, vesting and
performance conditions), if any, for earning Awards; (iv) to amend the terms or
conditions of any outstanding Award, subject to applicable legal restrictions
and to the consent of the other party to such Award; (v) to determine the
duration and purpose of leaves of absences which may be granted to holders of
Awards without constituting termination of their employment for purposes of
their Awards; (vi) to authorize any person to execute, on behalf of the Company,
any instrument required to carry out the purposes of the 1998 Plan; and (vii) to
make any and all other determinations which it determines to be necessary or
advisable in the administration of the 1998 Plan. The Board shall have full
power and authority to administer and interpret the 1998 Plan and to adopt,
amend and revoke such rules, regulations, agreements, guidelines and instruments
for the administration of the 1998 Plan and for the conduct of its business as
the Board deems necessary or advisable. The Board's interpretation of the 1998
Plan, and all actions taken and determinations made by the Board pursuant to the
powers vested in it hereunder, shall be conclusive and binding on all parties
concerned, including the Company, its stockholders, any participants in the 1998
Plan and any other employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

3.   PERSONS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE 1998 PLAN.

     Any person who is a director, officer, employee or consultant of the
Company, or any of its subsidiaries (a "Participant"), shall be eligible to be
considered for the grant of Awards under the 1998 Plan.

4.   AWARDS.

     (a) Common Stock and Derivative Security Awards. Awards authorized under
the 1998 Plan shall consist of any type of arrangement with a Participant that
is not inconsistent with the provisions of the 1998 Plan and that, by its terms,
involves or might involve or be made with reference to the issuance of (i)
shares of the Common Stock, $.001 par value per share, of the Company (the
"Common Stock") or (ii) a "derivative security" (as that term is defined in Rule
16a-1(c) of the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as the same may be
amended from time to time) with an exercise or conversion price related to the
Common Stock or with a value derived from the value of the Common Stock.

                                     Page 5

<PAGE>

     (b) Types of Awards. Awards are not restricted to any specified form or
structure and may include, but need not be limited to, sales, bonuses and other
transfers of stock, restricted stock, stock options, reload stock options, stock
purchase warrants, other rights to acquire stock or securities convertible into
or redeemable for stock, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock, dividend
equivalents, performance units or performance shares, or any other type of Award
which the Board shall determine is consistent with the objectives and
limitations of the 1998 Plan. An Award may consist of one such security or
benefit, or two or more of them in tandem or in the alternative.

     (c) Consideration. Common Stock may be issued pursuant to an Award for any
lawful consideration as determined by the Board, including, without limitation,
a cash payment, services rendered, or the cancellation of indebtedness.

     (d) Guidelines. The Board may adopt, amend or revoke from time to time
written policies implementing the 1998 Plan. Such policies may include, but need
not be limited to, the type, size and term of Awards to be made to participants
and the conditions for payment of such Awards.

     (e) Terms and Conditions. Subject to the provisions of the 1998 Plan, the
Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine all of the terms and
conditions of each Award granted pursuant to the 1998 Plan, which terms and
conditions may include, among other things:

          (i) any provision necessary for such Award to qualify as an incentive
     stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended (the "Code") (an "Incentive Stock Option");

          (ii) a provision permitting the recipient of such Award to pay the
     purchase price of the Common Stock or other property issuable pursuant to
     such Award, or to pay such recipient's tax withholding obligation with
     respect to such issuance, in whole or in part, by delivering previously
     owned shares of capital stock of the Company (including "pyramiding") or
     other property, or by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock or the
     amount of other property otherwise issuable pursuant to such Award; or

          (iii) a provision conditioning or accelerating the receipt of benefits
     pursuant to the Award, or terminating the Award, either automatically or in
     the discretion of the Board, upon the occurrence of specified events,
     including, without limitation, a change of control of the Company, an
     acquisition of a specified percentage of the voting power of the Company,
     the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a sale of substantially all
     of the property and assets of the Company or an event of the type described
     in Section 7 of the 1998 Plan.

     (f) Suspension or Termination of Awards. If the Company believes that a
Participant has committed an act of misconduct as described below, the Company
may suspend the Participant's rights under any then outstanding Award pending a
determination by the Board. If the Board determines that a Participant has
committed an act of embezzlement, fraud, nonpayment of any obligation owed to
the Company or any subsidiary, breach of fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard
of the Company's rules resulting in loss, damage or injury to the Company, or if
a Participant makes an unauthorized disclosure of trade secret or confidential
information of the Company, engages in any conduct constituting unfair
competition, or induces any customer of the Company to breach a contract with
the Company, neither the Participant nor his or her estate shall be entitled to
exercise any rights whatsoever with respect to such Award. In making such
determination, the Board shall act fairly and shall give the Participant a
reasonable opportunity to appear and present evidence on his or her behalf to
the Board.

     (g) Maximum Grant of Awards to any Participant. No Participant shall
receive Awards representing more than 25% of the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to all Awards under the 1998 Plan as
set forth in Section 5 hereof.

                                     Page 6

5.   SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE 1998 PLAN.

     The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or
issuable pursuant to all Awards under the 1998 Plan (including Awards in the
form of Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock Options) shall not
exceed an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 7 of the 1998 Plan. Shares of Common Stock subject to the
1998 Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or
treasury shares. Any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award which for any
reason expires or is terminated unexercised as to such shares shall again be
available for issuance under the 1998 Plan. For purposes of this Section 5, the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued at any time
pursuant to Awards granted under the 1998 Plan shall be reduced by: (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to Awards granted
under the 1998 Plan, other than shares of Common Stock subsequently reacquired
by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of such Awards and with
respect to which the holder thereof received no benefits of ownership, such as
dividends; and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which were otherwise
issuable pursuant to Awards granted under this 1998 Plan but which were withheld
by the Company as payment of the purchase price of the Common Stock issued
pursuant to such Awards or as payment of the recipient's tax withholding
obligation with respect to such issuance.

6.   PAYMENT OF AWARDS.

     The Board shall determine the extent to which Awards shall be payable in
cash, shares of Common Stock or any combination thereof. The Board may, upon
request of a Participant, determine that all or a portion of a payment to that
Participant under the 1998 Plan, whether it is to be made in cash, shares of
Common Stock or a combination thereof, shall be deferred. Deferrals shall be for
such periods and upon such terms as the Board may determine in its sole
discretion.

7.   DILUTION AND OTHER ADJUSTMENT.

     In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or
other securities then subject to the 1998 Plan by reason of any stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, or if the
outstanding securities of the class then subject to the 1998 Plan are exchanged
for or converted into cash, property or a different kind of securities, or if
cash, property or securities are distributed in respect of such outstanding
securities as a class (other than cash dividends), then the Board may, but it
shall not be required to, make such equitable adjustments to the 1998 Plan and
the Awards thereunder (including, without limitation, appropriate and
proportionate adjustments in (i) the number and type of shares or other
securities or cash or other property that may be acquired pursuant to Incentive
Stock Options and other Awards theretofore granted under the 1998 Plan, (ii) the
maximum number and type of shares or other securities that may be issued
pursuant to Incentive Stock Options and other Awards thereafter granted under
the 1998 Plan; and (iii) the maximum number of securities with respect to which
Awards may thereafter be granted to any Participant in any fiscal year) as the
Board in its sole discretion determines appropriate, including any adjustments
in the maximum number of shares referred to in Section 5 of the 1998 Plan. Such
adjustments shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the 1998 Plan.

8.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

     (a) Definitions. As used herein, "subsidiary" means any current or future
corporation which would be a "subsidiary corporation," as that term is defined
in Section 424(f) of the Code, of the Company; and the term "or" means "and/or."

     (b) Conditions on Issuance. Securities shall not be issued pursuant to
Awards unless the grant and issuance thereof shall comply with all relevant
provisions of law and the requirements of any securities exchange or quotation
system upon which any securities of the Company are listed, and shall be further
subject to approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
Inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction, which authority is determined by Company counsel to be necessary
to the lawful issuance and sale of any security or Award, shall relieve the
Company of any liability in respect of the non-issuance or sale of such
securities as to which requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

                                     Page 7

<PAGE>

     (c) Rights as Stockholder. A participant under the 1998 Plan shall have no
rights as a holder of Common Stock with respect to Awards hereunder, unless and
until certificates for shares of such stock are issued to the participant.

     (d) Assignment or Transfer. Subject to the discretion of the Board, and
except with respect to Incentive Stock Options which are not transferable except
by will or the laws of descent and distribution, Awards under the 1998 Plan or
any rights or interests therein shall be assignable or transferable.

     (e) Agreements. All Awards granted under the 1998 Plan shall be evidenced
by written agreements in such form and containing such terms and conditions (not
inconsistent with the 1998 Plan) as the Board shall from time to time adopt.

     (f) Withholding Taxes. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all
Awards hereunder paid in cash any federal, state, local or foreign taxes
required by law to be withheld with respect to such awards and, with respect to
awards paid in stock, to require the payment (through withholding from the
participant's salary or otherwise) of any such taxes. The obligation of the
Company to make delivery of Awards in cash or Common Stock shall be subject to
the restrictions imposed by any and all governmental authorities.

     (g) No Rights to Award. No Participant or other person shall have any right
to be granted an Award under the 1998 Plan. Neither the 1998 Plan nor any action
taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be
retained in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or shall
interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, which are hereby reserved, to discharge a Participant at any time
for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause.

     (h) Costs and Expenses. The costs and expenses of administering the 1998
Plan shall be borne by the Company and not charged to any Award nor to any
Participant receiving an Award.

     (i) Funding of 1998 Plan. The 1998 Plan shall be unfounded. The Company
shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any
other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Award under the 1998
Plan.

9.   AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION.

     (a) Amendments. The Board may at any time terminate or from time to time
amend the 1998 Plan in whole or in part, but no such action shall adversely
affect any rights or obligations with respect to any Awards theretofore made
under the 1998 Plan. However, with the consent of the Participant affected, the
Board may amend outstanding agreements evidencing Awards under the 1998 Plan in
a manner not inconsistent with the terms of the 1998 Plan.

     (b) Stockholder Approval. To the extent that Section 422 of the Code, other
applicable law, or the rules, regulations, procedures or listing agreement of
any national securities exchange or quotation system, requires that any
amendment of the 1998 Plan be approved by the stockholders of the Company, no
such amendment shall be effective unless and until it is approved by the
stockholders in such a manner and to such a degree as is required.

     (c) Termination. Unless the 1998 Plan shall theretofore have been
terminated as above provided, the 1998 Plan (but not the awards theretofore
granted under the 1998 Plan) shall terminate on and no awards shall be granted
after April 28, 2008.

10.  EFFECTIVE DATE.

     The 1998 Plan is effective on April 28, 1998, the date on which it was
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company and the holders of the majority
of the Common Stock of the Company.

11.  GOVERNING LAW.

     The 1998 Plan and any agreements entered into thereunder shall be construed
and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made
within, and to be performed wholly within, such state, without regard to the
application of conflict of laws rules thereof.
