to an Option Exchange Program, the unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto
shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan
has terminated). However, Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan,
upon exercise of either an Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall not be returned
to the Plan and shall not become available for future distribution under the
Plan, except that if Shares of Restricted Stock are repurchased by the Company
at their original purchase price and cancelled, such Shares (which will then be
authorised but unissued Shares) shall become available for future grant under
the Plan.

            4.    Administration of the Plan.

            (a)   Administrator. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or
a Committee appointed by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted to
comply with Applicable Laws.

            (b)   Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the
Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board
to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

                  (ii)   to select the Service Providers to whom Options and
Stock Purchase Rights may from time to time be granted hereunder;

                  (iii)  to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each
such award granted hereunder;

                  (iv)   to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

                  (v)    to determine the terms and conditions, of any Option or
Stock Purchase Right granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but
arc not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options or Stock
Purchase Rights maybe exercised (which may be based on performance criteria),
any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any
restriction or limitation regarding any Option or Stock Purchase Right or the
Ordinary Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

                  (vi)   to determine whether and under what circumstances an
Option may be settled in cash under subsection 9(e) instead of Ordinary Shares;

                  (vii)  to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then
current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares
covered by such Option has declined since the date the Option was granted;

                  (viii) to initiate an Option Exchange Program;

                  (ix)   to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans
established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under
foreign tax laws;

                  (x)    to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax
obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of Shares
having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair
Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that
the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by Optionees
to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under
such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and

                  (xi)   to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
awards granted pursuant to the Plan.

            (c)   Effect of Administrator's Decision. All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Optionees.

            5.    Eligibility.

            (a)   Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be
granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
Employees.

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

            (b)   Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as
either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However,
notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under
all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such
Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this
Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order
in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be
determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

            (c)   Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall
confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's
relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in
any way with his or her right or the Company's right to terminate such
relationship at any time, with or without cause.

            6.    Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its
adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years
unless sooner terminated under Section 14 of the Plan.

            7.    Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the
Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten
(10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock
Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock
representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall
be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided
in the Option Agreement.

            8.    Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

            (a)   The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator,
but shall be subject to the following:

                  (i)   In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

                        (1)   granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant
of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary,
the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share
on the date of grant.

                        (2)   granted to any other Employee, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant.

                  (ii)  In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option

                        (1)   granted to a Service Provider who, at the time of
grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the
voting power of all

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price
shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
grant.

                        (2)   granted to any other Service Provider, the per
Share exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per
Share on the date of grant.

                  (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted
with a per Share exercise price other then as required above pursuant to a
merger or other corporate transaction.

            (b)   The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by
the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant). Such consideration may consist of (1) cash,
(2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on
the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to
which such Option shall be exercised, (5) consideration received by the Company
under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with
the Plan, or (6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making
its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator
shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to
benefit the Company.

            9.    Exercise of Option.

            (a)   Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such
times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth
in the Option Agreement. Except in the case of Options granted to Officers,
Directors and Consultants, Options shall become exercisable at a rate of no less
than 20%, per year over five (5) years from the date the Options are granted.
Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted
hereunder to Officers and Directors shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of
absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

            An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i)
written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option
Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full
payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued
upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if
requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse.
Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist
with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The
Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the
Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right
for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as
provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

            Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in
the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for
sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised.

            (b)   Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an
Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, such Optionee may exercise his or her
Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (of at
least thirty (30) days) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option
as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the
Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months
following the Optionee's termination. If, on the date of termination, the
Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the
unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination,
the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by
the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such
Option shall revert to the Plan.

            (c)   Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service
Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise his
or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement
(of at least six (6) months) to the extent the Option is vested on the date of
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time
in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12)
months following the Optionee's termination. If, on the date of termination, the
Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire option, the Shares covered by the
unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination,
the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall
revert to the Plan.

            (d)   Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service
Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified
in the Option Agreement (of at least six (6) months) to the extent that the
Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration
of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement) by the
Optionee's estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option
by bequest or inheritance. In the absence of a specified time in the Option
Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following
the Optionee's termination. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested
as to the entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the
Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised
within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares
covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

            (e)   Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to
buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on
such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate
to the Options at the time that such offer is made.

            10.   Non-Transferability of Company Stock Purchase Rights. The
Options and Stock Purchase Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred, or disposed

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution
and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

            11.   Stock Purchase Rights.

            (a)   Rights to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either
alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan
and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines
that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the
offeree in writing or electronically of the terms, conditions and restrictions
related to the offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be
entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which such
person must accept such offer. The terms of the offer shall comply in all
respects with Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the California Code of
Regulations. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock
purchase agreement in the form determined by the Administrator.

            (b)   Purchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines
otherwise, the Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall grant the Company a
repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of
the purchaser's service with the Company for any reason (including death or
disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the
Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall be the original price paid by the
purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser
to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as the
Administrator may determine. Except with respect to Shares purchased by
Officers, Directors and Consultants, the repurchase option shall in no case
lapse at a rate of less then 20% per year over five (5) years from the date of
purchase.

            (c)   Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock purchase agreement
shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with
the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

            (d)   Rights as a Shareholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right is
exercised, the purchaser shall have rights equivalent to those of a shareholder
and shall be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records
of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment shall be
made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the
date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 12 of
the Plan.

            12.   Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset
Sale.

            (a)   Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by
the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Ordinary Shares covered
by each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, and the number of shares of
Ordinary Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to
which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or which have
been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or Stock
Purchase Right, as well as the price per share of Ordinary Shares covered by
each such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Ordinary
Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, or any other increase or decrease in
the number of issued shares of Ordinary Shares effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company. The conversion of any convertible securities of
the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of
consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination
in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly
provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of shares of Ordinary Shares subject to an Option or Stock Purchase Right.

            (b)   Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to
have the right to exercise his or her Option or Stock Purchase Right until
fifteen (15) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock
covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option or Stock Purchase Right
would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide
that any Company repurchase option applicable to any Shares purchased upon
exorcise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall lapse as to all such Shares,
provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in
the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an
Option or Stock Purchase Right will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed action.

            (c)   Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall be
assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event
that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or
Stock Purchase Right, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to
exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned Stock,
including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If
an Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu
of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the
Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the
Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully exercisable for a period of
fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or Stock Purchase
Right shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of
this paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be considered assumed
if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option or right confers the
right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the
Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets
the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received
in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Ordinary Shares for each Share
held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a
choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such
consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common
stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with
the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be
received upon the exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share
of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right, to be solely
common stock of the successor

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share
consideration received by holders of Ordinary Shares in the merger or sale of
assets.

            13.   Time of Granting Options and Stork Purchase Rights. The date
of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the
date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or
Stock Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator.
Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an
Option or Stock Purchase Right is so granted within a reasonable time after the
date of such grant.

            14.   Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

            (a)   Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

            (b)   Shareholder Approval. The Board shall obtain shareholder
approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply
with Applicable Laws.

            (c)   Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.
Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise
the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the
Plan prior to the date of such termination.

            15.   Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

            (a)   Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

            (b)   Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of
an Option, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Option to
represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being
purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or
distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
representation is required.

            16.   Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to
obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained.

            17.   Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this
Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as
shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

            18.   Shareholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by
the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the
Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and
manner required under Applicable Laws.

            19.   Information to Optionees and Purchasers. The Company shall
provide to each Optionee and to each individual who acquires Shares pursuant to
the Plan, not less frequently than annually during the period such Optionee or
purchaser has one or more Options or Stock Purchase Rights outstanding, and, in
the case of an individual who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the
period such individual owns such Shares, copies of annual financial statements.
The Company shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees
whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent
information.

                 51JOB, INC. (FKA 51NET.COM CAYMAN ISLANDS INC.)

                FORM OF EMPLOYMENT, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND
                         INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

      As a condition of my employment with 51job, Inc. (fka 51net.com Cayman
Islands Inc.), its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns (together the
"Company"), and in consideration of my employment with the Company and my
receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me by Company, I agree to
the following:

      1.    AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT. The Company and Employee acknowledge that
Employee's employment hereunder is and shall continue to be at-will (as defined
under applicable law), and may be terminated at any time, with or without cause,
at the option of either party. If Employee's employment terminates for any
reason, Employee shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits, damages,
awards or compensation other than as specifically provided by this Agreement, or
as may otherwise be available pursuant to other written agreements entered into
by and between the Company and the Employee. No provision of this Agreement
shall be construed as conferring upon Employee a right to continue as an
employee of the Company.

      2.    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

            a.    COMPANY INFORMATION. I agree at all times during the term of
my employment and thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use,
except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose to any person, firm or
corporation without written authorization of the Board of Directors of the
Company, any Confidential Information of the Company. I understand that
"Confidential Information" means any Company proprietary information, technical

            b.    FORMER EMPLOYER INFORMATION. I agree that I will not, during
my employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary
information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other
person or entity and that I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any
unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to any such employer,
person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or
entity.

<PAGE>

            c.    THIRD PARTY INFORMATION. I recognize that the Company has
received and in the future will receive from third parties, including affiliated
companies and subsidiaries of the Company, their confidential or proprietary
information subject to a duty on the Company's part to maintain the
confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited
purposes. I agree to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in
the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or
corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out my work for the
Company consistent with the Company's agreement with such third party.

      3.    INVENTIONS.

            a.    INVENTIONS RETAINED AND LICENSED. I have attached hereto, as
Exhibit A, a list describing all inventions, original works of authorship,
developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by me prior to my
employment with the Company (collectively referred to as "Prior Inventions"),
which belong to me, which relate to the Company's proposed business, products or
research and development, and which are not assigned to the Company hereunder;
or, if no such list is attached, I represent that there are no such Prior
Inventions. If in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate
into a Company product, process or machine a Prior Invention owned by me or in
which I have an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a
nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make,
have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention as part of or in connection
with such product, process or machine.

            b.    ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS. I agree that I will promptly make
full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right
and benefit of the Company, and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee,
all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, original
works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements or trade secrets,
whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which
I may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to
be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the period of time I am
in the employ of the Company (collectively referred to as "Inventions"), except
as provided in Section 3(f) below. I further acknowledge that all original works
of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the
scope of and during the period of my employment with the Company and which are
protectible by copyright are "works made for hire," as that term is defined in
the United States Copyright Act.

            c.    INVENTIONS ASSIGNED TO THE UNITED STATES. I agree to assign to
the United States government all my right, title, and interest in and to any and
all Inventions whenever such full title is required to be in the United States
by a contract between the Company and the United States or any of its agencies.

            d.    MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS. I agree to keep and maintain adequate
and current written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with
others) during the term of my employment with the Company. The records will be
in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other format that may be
specified by the Company. The records will be available to and remain the sole
property of the Company at all times.

            e.    PATENT AND COPYRIGHT REGISTRATIONS. I agree to assist the
Company, or its designee, at the Company's expense, in every proper way to
secure the Company's rights in the

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual
property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the
disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect
thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments
and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to
apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the
Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights,
title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask
work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. I further
agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my
power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the
termination of this Agreement. If the Company is unable because of my mental or
physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure my signature to apply for
or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or
copyright registrations covering Inventions or original works of authorship
assigned to the Company as above, then I hereby irrevocably designate and
appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and
attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any
such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the
prosecution and issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon
with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

            f.    EXCEPTION TO ASSIGNMENTS. I understand that the provisions of
this Agreement requiring assignment of Inventions to the Company do not apply to
any invention which qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor
Code Section 2870 (attached hereto as Exhibit B). I will advise the Company
promptly in writing of any inventions that I believe meet the criteria in
California Labor Code Section 2870 and not otherwise disclosed on Exhibit A.

      4.    CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT. I agree that, during the term of my
employment with the Company, I will not engage in any other employment,
occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the
business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during the
term of my employment, nor will I engage in any other activities that conflict
with my obligations to the Company.

      5.    RETURNING COMPANY DOCUMENTS. I agree that, at the time of leaving
the employ of the Company, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in
my possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records,
data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings
blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, other documents or property, or
reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by me pursuant to my
employment with the Company or otherwise belonging to the Company, its
successors or assigns. In the event of the termination of my employment, I agree
to sign and deliver the "Termination Certification" attached hereto as Exhibit
C.

      6.    NOTIFICATION OF NEW EMPLOYER. In the event that I leave the employ
of the Company, I hereby grant consent to notification by the Company to my new
employer about my rights and obligations under this Agreement.

      7.    SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. I agree that for a period of twelve (12)
months immediately following the termination of my relationship with the Company
for any reason, whether with or without cause, I shall not either directly or
indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

of the Company's employees to leave their employment, or take away such
employees, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take away
employees of the Company, either for myself or for any other person or entity.

      8.    CONFLICT OF INTEREST GUIDELINES. I agree to diligently adhere to the
Conflict of Interest Guidelines attached as Exhibit D hereto.

      9.    FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT. I agree to diligently adhere to the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act attached hereto as Exhibit E hereto.

      10.   REPRESENTATIONS. I agree to execute any proper oath or verify any
proper document required to carry out the terms of this Agreement. I represent
that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach any
agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in
confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not entered
into, and I agree I will not enter into, any oral or written agreement in
conflict herewith.

      11.   ARBITRATION AND EQUITABLE RELIEF.

            a.    ARBITRATION. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 11(b) BELOW, I
AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR CONCERNING
ANY INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL
BE SETTLED BY ARBITRATION TO BE HELD IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES THEN IN EFFECT OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION
ASSOCIATION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY GRANT INJUNCTIONS OR OTHER RELIEF IN SUCH
DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE FINAL,
CONCLUSIVE AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION. JUDGMENT MAY BE
ENTERED ON THE ARBITRATOR'S DECISION IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION. THE
COMPANY AND I SHALL EACH PAY ONE-HALF OF THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF SUCH
ARBITRATION, AND EACH OF US SHALL SEPARATELY PAY OUR COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES.

      THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF EMPLOYEE'S RIGHT TO A JURY
TRIAL AND RELATES TO THE RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES RELATING TO ALL ASPECTS OF
THE EMPLOYER/EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP (EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 11(b) BELOW),
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING CLAIMS:

                  i.    ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR WRONGFUL DISCHARGE OF EMPLOYMENT;
BREACH OF CONTRACT, BOTH EXPRESS AND IMPLIED; BREACH OF THE COVENANT OF GOOD
FAITH AND FAIR DEALING, BOTH EXPRESS AND IMPLIED; NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL
INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS; NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION;
NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL INTERFERENCE WITH CONTRACT OR PROSPECTIVE ECONOMIC
ADVANTAGE; AND DEFAMATION;

<PAGE>

                  ii.   ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR VIOLATION OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE
OR MUNICIPAL STATUTE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL
RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1991, THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN
EMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1967, THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, THE FAIR

CODE SECTION 201, et seq.;

                  iii.  ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF ANY OTHER LAWS AND
REGULATIONS RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT OR EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION.

            b.    EQUITABLE REMEDIES. I AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE OR
INADEQUATE TO MEASURE AND CALCULATE THE COMPANY'S DAMAGES FROM ANY BREACH OF THE
COVENANTS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 2, 3, AND 5 HEREIN. ACCORDINGLY, I AGREE THAT IF
I BREACH ANY OF SUCH SECTIONS, THE COMPANY WILL HAVE AVAILABLE, IN ADDITION TO
ANY OTHER RIGHT OR REMEDY AVAILABLE, THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN AN INJUNCTION FROM A
COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION RESTRAINING SUCH BREACH OR THREATENED BREACH AND
TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF ANY SUCH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT. I FURTHER AGREE
THAT NO BOND OR OTHER SECURITY SHALL BE REQUIRED IN OBTAINING SUCH EQUITABLE
RELIEF AND I HEREBY CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH INJUNCTION AND TO THE
ORDERING OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

            c.    CONSIDERATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT EACH PARTY'S PROMISE TO
RESOLVE CLAIMS BY ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT, RATHER THAN THROUGH THE COURTS, IS CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER PARTY'S
LIKE PROMISE. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT I AM OFFERED EMPLOYMENT IN CONSIDERATION
OF MY PROMISE TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS.

      12.   GENERAL PROVISIONS.

            a.    GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION. This
Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California. I hereby
expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
located in California for any lawsuit filed there against me by the Company
arising from or relating to this Agreement.

            b.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the entire
agreement and understanding between the Company and me relating to the subject
matter herein and merges all prior discussions between us. No modification of or
amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this agreement,
will be effective unless in writing signed by the party to be charged. Any
subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not
affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

            c.    SEVERABILITY. If one or more of the provisions in this
Agreement are deemed void by law, then the remaining provisions will continue in

                              ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS

      "(a)  Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an

                         CONFLICT OF INTEREST GUIDELINES

      It is the policy of 51job, Inc. (fka 51net.com Cayman Islands Inc.) to
conduct its affairs in strict compliance with the letter and spirit of the law
and to adhere to the highest principles of business ethics. Accordingly, all
officers, employees and independent contractors must avoid activities which are
in conflict, or give the appearance of being in conflict, with these principles
and with the interests of the Company. The following are potentially
compromising situations which must be avoided. Any exceptions must be reported
to the President and written approval for continuation must be obtained.

      1.    Revealing confidential information to outsiders or misusing
confidential information. Unauthorized divulging of information is a violation
of this policy whether or not for personal gain and whether or not harm to the
Company is intended. (The Employment, Confidential Information and Invention
Assignment Agreement elaborates on this principle and is a binding agreement.)

      2.    Accepting or offering substantial gifts, excessive entertainment,
favors or payments which may be deemed to constitute undue influence or
otherwise be improper or embarrassing to the Company.

      3.    Participating in civic or professional organizations that might
involve divulging confidential information of the Company.

      4.    Initiating or approving personnel actions affecting reward or
punishment of employees or applicants where there is a family relationship or is
or appears to be a personal or social involvement.

      5.    Initiating or approving any form of personal or social harassment of
employees.

      6.    Investing or holding outside directorship in suppliers, customers,
or competing companies, including financial speculations, where such investment
or directorship might influence in any manner a decision or course of action of
the Company.

      7.    Borrowing from or lending to employees, customers or suppliers.

      8.    Acquiring real estate of interest to the Company.

      9.    Improperly using or disclosing to the Company any proprietary
information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other
person or entity with whom obligations of confidentiality exist.

<PAGE>

      10.   Unlawfully discussing prices, costs, customers, sales or markets
with competing companies or their employees.

      11.   Making any unlawful agreement with distributors with respect to
prices.

      12.   Improperly using or authorizing the use of any inventions which are
the subject of patent claims of any other person or entity.

      13.   Engaging in any conduct which is not in the best interest of the
Company.

      Each officer, employee and independent contractor must take every
necessary action to ensure compliance with these guidelines and to bring problem
areas to the attention of higher management for review. Violations of this
conflict of interest policy may result in discharge without warning.

                 51JOB, INC. (FKA 51NET.COM CAYMAN ISLANDS INC.)

                    THE FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT OF 1977

      The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the Act") amended the federal
securities laws to expand the authority of the federal government to deal with
improper business practices and, perhaps more significantly, to create new
powers to determine just what constitutes such improper practices.

THE ACT

      The Act, to which 51job, Inc. (fka 51net.com Cayman Islands Inc.) (the
"Company") will be subject once it becomes a publicly owned corporation, was
enacted to deter illegal corporate payments by: (1) prohibiting certain payments
or promises to foreign officials (anti-bribery provisions), (2) requiring
corporations to keep adequate records of the disposition of their assets, and
(3) making corporations responsible for internal monitoring of their accounting
practices. In summary, the provisions of the Act in each of these areas are as
follows:

      ANTI-BRIBERY PROVISIONS

      This portion of the Act makes it a criminal offense for an employee (or an
      officer, director, agent or shareholder of the corporation) to make an
      offer, payment or gift of any money or other item of value, directly or
      indirectly, to (i) a foreign official, (ii) a foreign political party,
      (iii) a party official or (iv) a candidate for foreign political office
      for the "corrupt" purpose of obtaining or retaining business for the
      Company or for the purpose of directing business to any other person. The
      term "corrupt" is construed to prohibit any activity, including the
      provision of meals, lodging or entertainment, which is meant to influence
      the recipient and which is done for the stated illegal purposes. This
      highly publicized provision carries with it prosecution of officers,
      directors, employees or agents resulting in fines of up to $100,000 or
      imprisonment of up to five years, or both.

      The Act does provide a narrow exception for payments to a foreign
      official, foreign political party, or party official intended to hasten or
      secure the performance of a "routine governmental action." Such "routine
      governmental actions" are those ordinarily performed by a foreign official
      in:

      (1)   obtaining permits, licenses, or other official documents to qualify
            a person to do business in a foreign country;

      (2)   processing governmental papers, such as visas and work orders;

      (3)   providing police protection, mail pick-up and delivery, or
            scheduling inspections associated with contract performance or
            inspections related to transit of goods across country;

      (4)   providing phone service, power and water supply, loading and
            unloading cargo, or protecting perishable products or commodities
            from deterioration; or

      (5)   actions of a similar nature.

      In addition, the Act provides two affirmative defenses to charges of
violations. First, it is a defense to a charge if the payment or promise was
lawful under the written laws and regulations of the country in which the
recipient is located. Finally, "reasonable and bona fide expenditures" made to
foreign officials do not violate the Act. For example, the Company may reimburse
foreign officials for the cost of travel and lodging in connection with (i) the
promotion, demonstration, or explanation of products or services, or (ii) the
execution or performance of a contract with a foreign government.

RECORD-KEEPING PROVISIONS

      Pursuant to Exchange Act Section 13(b)(2)(A), 51job, Inc. (fka 51net.com
Cayman Islands Inc.) is required to make and keep books, records and accounts
which, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the Company. The purpose of this requirement is to
prevent the occurrence of the following types of abuses:

      A.    Records that accurately record the existence of a transaction but
            which fail to reveal the illegal or improper purpose of the
            transaction.

      B.    Records that fail to record improper transactions.

      C.    Records that are falsified to conceal improper transactions which
            are otherwise correctly recorded.

INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROL PROVISIONS

      Pursuant to Exchange Act Section 13(b)(2)(B), the Company must devise and
maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurances that the following objectives are achieved:

      A.    Transactions are executed in accordance with management's general
            and specific authorization.

      B.    Transactions are recorded in a way which will permit the preparation
            of proper financial statements and will maintain accountability for
            assets.

      C.    Access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's
            general and specific authorizations.

      D.    Audits are conducted at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
            is taken with respect to any deficiencies in accountability for
            assets.

            perform his or her official functions or to use such persons or
            party's influence with a foreign government or instrumentality in
            order to affect or to influence any act or decision of such
            government or instrumentality in order to assist the Company in

            described by the document supporting the payment.

      4.    No political contribution shall be made, directly or indirectly,
