Warrant No. _______                                          Warrant to Purchase
                                                _________ Shares of Common Stock
                                                             As Herein Described

                       WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF

                               USA BROADBAND, INC.

     This is to certify that, for value received, _____________________________,
or its successors and assigns (in each case, the "Holder"), is entitled to
purchase, subject to the provisions of this warrant (the "Warrant"), from USA
Broadband, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at any time during the
period from the date hereof (the "Commencement Date") until 5:00 p.m., Pacific
time on __________________, 20__ (the "Expiration Date"), at which time this
Warrant shall expire and become void, __________ shares ("Warrant Shares") of
the Company's Common Stock, $.0001 par value (the "Common Stock") at a price of
$_____ per share (the "Exercise Price"). The number of shares of Common Stock to
be received upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as
set forth herein. This Warrant also is subject to the following terms and
conditions:

     1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant may be exercised in full at any
time from and after the date hereof and before the Expiration Date, but if such
date is a holiday on which federal or state chartered banking institutions
located in the State of California are authorized to close, then on the next
succeeding day which shall not be such a holiday. Exercise shall be by
presentation and surrender to the Company at its principal office, or at the
office of any transfer agent designated by the Company, of (i) this Warrant,
(ii) the attached exercise form properly executed, and (iii) a check for the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the exercise form.
Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Market Price Per
Share (as defined in SECTION 3 below) is greater than the Exercise Price (as
adjusted to the last trading day prior to the exercise date), in lieu of
exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive full shares
equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof
being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company together with a written notice of such election in which event the
Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed
using the following formula:

<Page>
               X = Y (A-B)
                   -------
                      A

     WHERE:             X =      the number of shares of Common Stock to be
                                 issued to the Holder

                        Y =      the number of shares of Common Stock
                                 purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a
                                 portion of the Warrant is being exercised,
                                 the portion of the Warrant being canceled

                        A =      the Market Price Per Share (as defined in
                                 SECTION 3 below)

                        B =      Exercise Price (as adjusted to the last trading
                                 day prior to the exercise date)

If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company or its transfer agent
shall, upon surrender of the Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the remaining number of Warrant
Shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant in
proper form for exercise, accompanied by payment as aforesaid, the Holder shall
be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall
then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not
then be actually delivered to the Holder.

         2. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall, at all times until the
expiration of this Warrant, reserve for issuance and delivery upon exercise of
this Warrant the number of Warrant Shares which shall be required for issuance
and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company covenants that the
shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrant shall be duly and
validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and free of liens, charges and
all taxes with respect to the issue thereof.

         3. FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. The Company shall not issue any fractional
shares or scrip representing fractional shares upon the exercise or exchange of
this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share resulting from the
exercise or exchange hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in
cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current fair market value per
share of Common Stock (herein, the "Market Price Per Share"), determined as
follows:

            3.1 If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities
exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an exchange, the
current fair market value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common
Stock on such exchange on the last business day prior to the date of exercise of
this Warrant, or if no such sale is made on such day, the mean of the closing
bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange;

            3.2 If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current
fair market value shall be determined by a written appraisal prepared by an
appraiser acceptable to the Company and the Holder of the Warrants evidencing a
majority in number of the total number of Warrant Shares at the time purchasable
upon the exercise of all then outstanding Warrants. The current fair market
value is defined for purposes of this SECTION 3.2 as the price in a single
transaction determined on a going-concern basis that would be agreed upon by the
most likely hypothetical buyer for a 100% controlling interest in the equity
capital of the Company (on a fully diluted basis including any fractional shares
and assuming the exercise in full of

                                       2
<Page>

all then outstanding options, warrants or otherwise purchased shares of Common
Stock that are then currently exercisable at exercise prices less than the
Market Price Per Share), each extending for a period of time considered
sufficient by all parties to effect the transfer of goodwill from the Seller to
the Buyer and disregarding any discounts for non-marketability of Common Stock
of the Company. In the event that the Company and said Holders cannot, in good
faith, agree upon an appraiser, then the Company, on the one hand, and said
Holders, on the other hand, shall each select an appraiser, the two appraisers
so selected shall select a third appraiser who shall be directed to prepare such
a written appraisal (the "Appraisal") and the term current fair market value
shall mean the appraised value set forth in the Appraisal prepared in accordance
with this definition. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the entire cost of
the Appraisal process shall be borne by the Company, but the cost thereof shall
be deemed an account payable of the Company and shall be considered in the
determination of the appraised value.

         4. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder
to any rights as a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity. The
rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant.

         5. ADJUSTMENTS.

            5.1 SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the Company is
recapitalized through the subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a larger or smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant
Shares shall be increased or reduced, as of the record date for such
recapitalization, in the same proportion as the increase or decrease in the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so
that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all of the Warrant Shares
issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such recapitalization
shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date.

            5.2 DIVIDENDS IN COMMON STOCK OR SECURITIES CONVERTIBLE INTO
COMMON STOCK. If the Company declares a dividend or distribution on Common Stock
payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, the number
of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be
increased, as of the record date for determining which holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to receive such dividend, in proportion to the increase in the
number of outstanding shares (and shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of all such securities convertible into Common Stock) of Common Stock
as a result of such dividend or distribution, and the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all the
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such
dividend or distribution shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately
before such record date.

            5.3 DISTRIBUTIONS OF OTHER SECURITIES OR PROPERTY.

                (a) OTHER SECURITIES. If the Company distributes to all holders
of its Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution or liquidation or the
winding up of its affairs, any of its securities (other than Common Stock or
securities convertible into Common Stock) or any evidence of indebtedness, then
in each case, the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares
theretofore purchasable by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then
Market Price Per Share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to SECTION 3) on
the record date mentioned below in this SECTION 5.3(a), and of which the
denominator shall be the then Market Price Per Share of Common Stock on such
record date, less the then fair value (as determined pursuant to SECTION 3) of
the portion of the shares of the Company's capital stock or evidences of
indebtedness distributable with respect to each share of

                                       3
<Page>

Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is
made, and shall become effective retroactively as of the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

                (b) PROPERTY. If the Company distributes to the holders of its
Common Stock, other than as a part of its dissolution or liquidation or the
winding up of its affairs, any of its assets (including cash), the Exercise
Price per Warrant Share shall be reduced, without any further action by the
parties hereto, by the Per Share Value (as hereinafter defined) of the dividend
or distribution. For the purposes of this SECTION 5.3(b), the "Per Share Value"
of any dividend or distribution other than cash shall be equal to the fair
market value of such non-cash distribution on each share of Common Stock as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company; for dividends
or distributions of cash, the Per Share Value thereof shall be the cash
distributed per share of Common Stock.

            5.4 MERGER, SALE OF ASSETS. If at any time while this Warrant, or
any portion thereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall be (i) a
reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or
subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the
Company is not the surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which the
Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the Company's capital stock
outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the
merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash, or
otherwise, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company's properties and assets
as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of
such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision
shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and
upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock
or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the
shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to
receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this
Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger,
consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided
in this SECTION 5. The foregoing provisions of this SECTION 5.4 shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and
transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at
the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. In all events,
appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant
with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to
the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that
event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property
deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.

            5.5 RECLASSIFICATION. If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, shall change
any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, by
reclassification of securities or otherwise, into the same or a different number
of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter
represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have
been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that
were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be
appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this
SECTION 5.

            5.6 LIQUIDATION, ETC. If the Company shall, at any time before the
expiration of this Warrant, dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs, or
otherwise declare a dividend, or make a distribution

                                       4
<Page>

to the holders of its Common Stock generally, whether in cash, property or
assets of any kind, including any dividend payable in stock or securities of any
other issuer owned by the Company (excluding regularly payable cash dividends
declared from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors or any dividend
or distribution referred to in SECTION 5.2 or SECTION 5.3), the Exercise Price
shall be reduced, without any further action by the parties hereto, by the Per
Share Value (as hereinafter defined) of the dividend. For purposes of this
SECTION 5.6, the "Per Share Value" of a cash dividend or other distribution
shall be the dollar amount of the distribution on each share of Common Stock and
the "Per Share Value" of any dividend or distribution other than cash shall be
equal to the fair market value of such non-cash distribution on each share of
Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company.

            5.7 ADJUSTMENT FOR ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK BELOW EXERCISE PRICE. If
any time or from time to time during the period from the date of this Warrant
until the Warrant is exercised, the Company shall issue or sell shares of Common
Stock for a consideration per share less than the then existing Exercise Price,
then and in each case the then Exercise Price shall be reduced, as of the
opening of business on the date of such issue or sale, to equal the price at
which such issuance or sale is made. The provisions of this SECTION 5.7 shall
not apply to any Common Stock currently reserved, as of the date of this
Warrant, for outstanding options, outstanding warrants, and outstanding
convertible debt.

            5.8 ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. Whenever the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant is adjusted, the Exercise
Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such
Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the
numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of
the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator
shall be the number of Warrant Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.

            5.9 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant or the Exercise Price of the
Warrant Shares is adjusted as provided herein, the Company shall mail to the
Holder a notice of such adjustment or adjustments, prepared and signed by the
President or Secretary of the Company, which sets forth the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the Exercise Price of
such Warrant Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment, and the computation by which such adjustment was
made.

         6. TRANSFER OR LOSS OF WARRANT.

            6.1 TRANSFER. This Warrant may be transferred, exercised, exchanged
or assigned ("Transfer" or "Transferred"), in whole or in part, subject to the
provisions of this SECTION 6.1. The Holder shall have the right to Transfer all
or a part of this Warrant and all or part of the Warrant Shares. The Company
shall register on its books any Transfer of the Warrant, upon surrender of same
to the Company with a written instrument of Transfer duly executed by the
registered Holder or by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such registration
of a Transfer, new Warrant(s) shall be issued to the transferee(s) and the
surrendered Warrant shall be cancelled by the Company. A Warrant may also be
exchanged, at the option of the Holder, for one or more new Warrants
representing the aggregate number of Warrant Shares evidenced by the Warrant
surrendered. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares or any other securities ("Other
Securities") received upon exercise of this Warrant or the conversion of the
Warrant Shares shall be subject to restrictions on transferability imposed by
the Act, unless registered under the Act, or unless an exemption from
registration is available. Until this Warrant and the Warrant

                                       5
<Page>

Shares are so registered, this Warrant and any certificate for Warrant Shares
issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend on the
face thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company,
stating that this Warrant or the Warrant Shares may not be Transferred unless,
in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, which may be counsel to
the Company, that the Warrant or the Warrant Shares may be Transferred without
such registration. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares may also be subject to
restrictions on transferability under applicable state securities or blue sky
laws.

            6.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Until this Warrant or the Warrant Shares
are registered under the Act, the Company may require, as a condition of
Transfer of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares that the transferee (who may be
the Holder in the case of an exchange) represent that the securities being
Transferred are being acquired for investment purposes and for the transferee's
own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any
distribution of the security. The Company may also require that the transferee
provide written information adequate to establish that the transferee is an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D issued under the Act,
or otherwise meets all qualifications necessary to comply with exemptions to the
Act, all as determined by counsel to the Company.

            6.3 LOSS OF WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of reasonable
satisfactory indemnification, or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of
this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver, or instruct its transfer
agent to execute and deliver, a new Warrant of like tenor and date, any such
lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant thereupon shall become void.

         7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company shall be obligated to any Holder of
at least 15,000 Warrants Shares as follows:

            (a) Whenever the Company proposes to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission a Registration Statement (other than on Form S-4, Form S-8
or as to securities issued pursuant to an employee benefit plan or a transaction
subject to Rule 145 promulgated under the Act), it shall, at least 30 days prior
to each such filing, give written notice of such proposed filing (a "Filing
Notice") to the Holder and each holder of Warrant Shares at their respective
addresses as they appear on the records of the Company, pursuant to which the
Company shall offer to include in such filing any or all of the Warrant Shares
purchasable under the Warrant and any Warrant Shares theretofore issued on
exercise of any portion of the Warrant. The Holder and holders of Warrant Shares
shall have until the 10th day after receipt of such notice to send to the
Company a written request or requests (a "Registration Request") that shall
specify the number of Warrant Shares which the Holder or holder of Warrant
Shares desires to have included in such filing (the aggregate amounts of which
specified in all such Registration Requests of the Holder and the holders of
Warrant Shares shall be referred to hereinafter as the "Registrable
Securities"). The Company shall include in such filing, for registration under
the Act, the aggregate number of Registrable Securities which the Holder or
holders of Warrant Shares requested be included in such filing. In the event
that the managing underwriter for said offering advises the Company and the
holders of the Registrable Securities in writing that the inclusion of such
securities in the offering would be detrimental to the offering of any shares or
other securities to be sold and issued by the Company pursuant to such
Registration Statement, the aggregate number of securities that may be included
in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as follows: (i) first,
to the securities to be registered on behalf of the Company; (ii) second, the
securities sought to be registered

                                       6
<Page>

by the holders of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; (iii)
third, pro rata among the holders of Registrable Securities; and (iv) other
securities requested to be included in the registration. No Registrable
Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter market
limitation shall be included in such registration.

            (b) In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations
under this SECTION 7, the holder of Registrable Securities agrees in connection
with any registration of the Company's securities that, upon the request of the
Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company's
securities, not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the
purchase of or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities (other than those
included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company
or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed
180 days) from the effective date of such registration as the Company or the
underwriters may specify.

         8. INDEMNIFICATION.

            (a) The Company will, and does hereby undertake to, indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, each of such Holder's officers, directors, partners
and agents, and each person controlling such Holder, with respect to any
registration, qualification, or compliance effected pursuant to SECTION 7, and
each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter, of the
Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder, against all claims,
losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) to which they
may become subject under the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, (the "1934 Act"), or other federal or state law arising out of or based
on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any prospectus, offering circular, or other similar document
(including any related Registration Statement, notification, or the like)
incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, or based on any
omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
(ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of any federal, state or
common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company in connection with any
such registration, qualification, or compliance, and will reimburse, as
incurred, each Holder, each underwriter, and each director, officer, partner,
agent and controlling person, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss,
damage, liability, or action; provided that the Company will not be liable in
any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or
expense, arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based
upon written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed
by any of the Holders or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use
therein.

            (b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by or issuable
to such Holder are included in such registration, qualification, or compliance,
severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, and
each officer who signs a Registration Statement in connection therewith, and
each person controlling the Company, each underwriter, if any, and, each person
who controls any underwriter, of the Company's securities covered by such a
Registration Statement, against all claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration
Statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or any omission (or
alleged omission) to

                                       7

<Page>

state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse, as incurred, the
Company, and each such underwriter or other person, for any legal or any other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case to the extent, but
only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or
omission (or alleged omission) was made in such Registration Statement,
prospectus, offering circular, or other document, in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument
duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein;
provided, however, that the liability of each such Holder hereunder shall be
limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of securities
under such Registration Statement. In no event will any Holder be required to
enter into any agreement or undertaking in connection with any registration
under this SECTION 8 providing for any indemnification or contribution
obligations on the part of such Holder greater than such Holder's obligations
under this SECTION 8.

            (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this SECTION 8 (the
"Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide such
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") of any claim as to which
indemnification may be sought promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual
knowledge thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any
such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation,
shall be subject to approval by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld) and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense with its separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party's expense if
representation of such Indemnified Party would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding; and provided further that the
failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this SECTION 8, except
to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect
the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation.
No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall,
except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein, to such
Indemnified Party, of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation.

            (d) If any Holder includes Registrable Securities in any
registration, such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding such Holder, and the distribution proposed by such Holder, as the
Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection
with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to in SECTIONS 7
AND 8.

         9. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation or otherwise, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times, in good faith, take
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
rights of the Holder against impairment.

         10. RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. Unless and until otherwise permitted by this
SECTION 10, each certificate for Warrants issued under this Agreement, each

                         FORM OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

         THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), made and entered into as
of the _____ day of ____________, 200__, by and between USA Broadband, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and _____________ ("Executive").

                                    ARTICLE I

                                GRANT OF OPTIONS

         1.1 GRANT OF OPTIONS; VESTING; EXERCISE PRICE. The Company hereby
grants to Executive the right and option to purchase from the Company (the
"Option"), upon the terms and subject to the vesting requirements and other
conditions hereinafter set forth, in whole or in part, from time to time, up to
____________________ (_______) shares (the "Option Shares") of Common Stock.
Executive shall have the right to purchase Option Shares under this Option
according to the following schedule and on each of the following dates (each a
"Vesting Date" and collectively, the "Vesting Dates") at each of the following
purchase prices (the "Exercise Price"):

                  (a) ______________ (________) of the Option Shares on or after
         the date of this Agreement for a purchase price equal to $_______ per
         Option Share;

                  (b) __________________ (_________) of the Option Shares on or
         after _____________, 200__ for a purchase price equal to $______ per
         Option Share; and

                  (c) __________________ (__________) of the Option Shares on or
         after _____________, 200__ for a purchase price equal to $______ per
         Option Share;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Executive's right to purchase Option Shares shall be subject
to SECTION 2.4. Executive shall have the right to purchase Option Shares that
have become vested hereunder between the Vesting Date of such Option Shares and
the date that is ______ (__) years from the date of this Agreement (the
"Expiration Date"). The number of Option Shares and Exercise Price are subject
to adjustment as provided herein, and all references to "Option Shares" and
"Exercise Price" herein shall be deemed to include any such adjustment or series
of adjustments.

         1.2 NON-TRANSFERABLE. During the lifetime of Executive, the Option
shall be exercisable only by Executive, shall not be transferred, assigned,
pledged, or hypothecated in any way and shall not be subject to execution,
attachment, or similar process. In the event of Executive's death, the Option
shall be exercisable by Executive's heir(s), beneficiary(ies) or estate as
provided for under Executive's will or applicable laws of intestate succession.
Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose
of such option contrary to the provisions in this Agreement, or upon the levy of
any attachment or similar process upon such Option or such rights, such Option
and such rights shall immediately become null and void.

<Page>

         1.3 ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The parties acknowledge that the Option is not an
"incentive stock option" as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended.

                                   ARTICLE II

                               EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

         2.1 EXERCISE PRICE; METHOD OF PAYMENT. The price for which each Option
Share may be purchased by exercise of this Option shall be the Exercise Price.
Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by cash, certified or cashier's
check, or Option Shares.

         2.2 EXERCISE OF OPTION. Executive may exercise this Option, in whole or
in part, at any time, or from time to time, subsequent to the applicable Vesting
Dates and prior to the Expiration Date, by giving written notice to the Company
(the "Exercise Notice"). The Exercise Notice shall: (i) be signed by Executive;
(ii) state the number of Option Shares with respect to which the Option is being
exercised; (iii) be accompanied either by cash or certified or cashier's check
made payable to the Company in the amount of the Exercise Price multiplied by
the number of Option Shares being purchased or by a written instruction from
Executive to the Company instructing the Company to retain that number of Option
Shares for which the Option is being exercised having a Fair Market Value equal
to the aggregate Exercise Price; and (iv) unless otherwise provided herein, be
accompanied by a stock power (in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A) for the
Option Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised duly executed
by Executive but not dated (the "Stock Power") and (v) otherwise comply with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. No partial exercise of this Option shall
be for less than one (1) Option Share.

         2.3 CASHLESS EXERCISE.

                  (a) In lieu of payment of the Exercise Price in cash or by
         certified or cashier's check, Executive may elect to pay the Exercise
         Price with Option Shares (a "Cashless Exercise"). If Executive elects
         to make a Cashless Exercise, Executive shall provide written
         instruction to the Company of its desire to make a Cashless Exercise
         and such instruction shall be contained in the Exercise Notice as
         provided in SECTION 2.2 and shall be irrevocable. Upon receipt by the
         Company of the Exercise Notice indicating that Executive desires to
         make a Cashless Exercise, the Company shall withhold that number of the
         Option Shares for which the Option is being exercised having a Fair
         Market Value (defined below) equal to the aggregate Exercise Price plus
         any withholding obligations for taxes as described in SECTION 2.7
         below. If the number of Option Shares to be withheld by the Company on
         such exercise do not have a Fair Market Value equal to or greater than
         the aggregate Exercise Price, then the Executive may not make a
         Cashless Exercise. Election of a Cashless Exercise shall constitute an
         authorization to the Company to withhold that number of Option Shares
         for which the Option is being exercised having a Fair

                                        2

<Page>

         Market Value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price plus any withholding
         obligations for taxes as described in SECTION 2.6 below.

                  (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Fair Market
         Value" means the average of the "bid price" of the Company's Common
         Stock for the five (5) days immediately preceding the date of the
         Exercise Notice as quoted in the over the counter or other secondary
         market for the Company's Common Stock, or if no such sales occurred on
         such dates, then on the next five (5) preceding dates on which sales
         were made.

         2.4 ISSUANCE OF OPTION SHARES. Within five (5) business days following
receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice (which date may be extended by the
Company if any law or regul ation requires the Company to take any action with
respect to the Option Shares prior to the issuance thereof), the Company shall
deliver to Executive an appropriate certificate or certificates for the Option
Shares as to which the Option was exercised (or in the case of a Cashless
Exercise, the Option Shares as to which the Option was exercised less that
number of Option Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price and all applicable taxes required to be withheld or payable on
exercise), registered in the name of Executive and containing the legend
provided for in SECTION 2.7. The Company hereby represents and warrants that all
Option Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of this Option will, upon
payment of the Exercise Price, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of
the issuance thereof (other than liens or charges created by or imposed upon
Executive as the holder of the Option pursuant to this Agreement or taxes in
respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified
herein).

         2.5 NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER PRIOR TO EXERCISE. Until the issuance (as
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing
the issuance of Option Shares upon the exercise of the Option, no right to vote
or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with
respect to the Option Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. Except
as provided herein, no adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for
which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued.

         2.6 TAXES. Executive shall be responsible for all federal, state and
other taxes related to the receipt or exercise of the Option and of receipt of
the Option Shares. The Company shall have the power to withhold from any source,
or require Executive to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy
any withholding or other federal, state or other tax due from Executive or the
Company as a result of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement. If
Executive does not remit to the Company amounts sufficient to meet such
obligations, the Company shall withhold Option Shares from Executive, such that
the number of Option Shares withheld has a fair market value (as determined in
the sole discretion of the Company) sufficient to satisfy the associated
obligation of the Company to withhold federal, state and other taxes.

                                       3
<Page>

         2.7 WARRANTIES. Unless the Option Shares to be issued upon the
particular exercise of an Option granted under this Agreement shall have been
effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or
hereafter amended, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue the Option
Shares covered by such exercise unless Executive warrants to the Company, at the
time of such exercise, that Executive is acquiring the Option Shares for
investment and not with a view toward, or for sale in connection with, the
distribution of any such shares; and in such event Executive shall be bound by
the provisions of the following legend or similar legend which shall be endorsed
upon the certificate or certificates evidencing the Option Shares issued by the
Company pursuant to such exercise:

         "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
         1933 OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
         PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
         EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
         ACCEPTABLE TO USA BROADBAND, INC. TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION
         IS NOT REQUIRED."

                                   ARTICLE III

                ADJUSTMENTS TO OPTIONS SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE

         3.1 ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES. The
number of Option Shares and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

                  (a) RECLASSIFICATION, MERGER OR CERTAIN OTHER TRANSACTIONS. In
         case of (i) any reclassification, change or conversion of securities of
         the class issuable upon exercise of the Option (other than as a result
         of a subdivision or combination), or (ii) in case of any merger of the
         Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with
         another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation
         and which does not result in any reclassification or change of
         outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of the Option), the
         Company or such successor, as the case may be, shall execute a new
         Stock Option Agreement (on substantially the same terms and conditions
         as this Agreement, except as the context otherwise requires, and in
         form reasonably satisfactory to Executive) providing that Executive
         shall have the right to exercise such new options and upon such
         exercise to receive, in lieu of each Option Share theretofore issuable
         upon exercise of the Option, the kind and amount of shares of stock,
         other securities, money and property receivable upon such event or
         transaction by a holder of one share of Common Stock. Such new options
         shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may
         be practicable to the

                                        4

<Page>

         adjustments provided for in this SECTION 3.1. The provisions of this
         SECTION 3.1 shall similarly apply to successive events and transactions
         described above.

                  (b) SUBDIVISIONS OR COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the Company at
         any time while this Option remains outstanding and unexercised shall
         subdivide or combine its Common Stock, the Exercise Price and the
         number of Option Shares issuable upon exercise shall be proportionally
         adjusted.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                               REGISTRATION RIGHTS

         4.1 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION. If the Company files a registration
statement (other than a registration relating to the sale of securities to
participants in a dividend reinvestment plan, a registration on Form S-4
relating to a business combination or similar transaction permitted to be
registered on such Form S-4, a registration on Form S-8 relating to the sale of
securities to participants in a stock or employee benefit plan) with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") while any Registrable
Securities (as defined herein) are outstanding, the Company shall give Executive
at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of the filing of such registration
statement (a "Piggyback Registration"). If requested by Executive in writing
within two (2) days after receipt of any such notice, the Company shall register
all or, at such Executive's option, any portion of Executive's Registrable
Securities concurrently with the registration of such other securities, all to
the extent required to permit the public offering and sale of the Registrable
Securities. The Company will use its reasonable efforts through its officers,
directors, auditors, and counsel to cause such registration statement to become
effective as promptly as reasonably practicable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
number of Registrable Securities that may be registered pursuant to this SECTION
4.1 on any such registration statement involving an underwriting shall be
subject to those reductions determined to be necessary by the underwriter of the
offering pursuant to SECTION 4.2.

         As used herein, "Registrable Securities" shall mean (i) the Option
Shares acquired by Executive from the Company upon the exercise of this Option
and (ii) any Common Stock issued by way of a stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, merger or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange
for, or in replacement of, such Option Shares.

         4.2 UNDERWRITING. If a Piggyback Registration is for a registered
public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise Executive
as part of the notice given pursuant hereto. The Company shall (together with
all other holders of Common Stock proposing to distribute their securities
through such underwriting), if requested by the underwriter, enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with a managing underwriter selected
for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this ARTICLE IV, if the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that
market factors require exclusion of shares to be sold by selling stockholders,
or a limitation

                                        5

<Page>

of the number of shares to be so sold, then the Company shall so advise
Executive and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be
included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all
holders of Common Stock proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting (except those holders who have indicated to the Company their
decision not to distribute any of their Securities through such underwriting) in
proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of securities
held by such holders at the time of filing the registration statement. No
Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the
underwriter market limitation shall be included in such registration.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE IV, (a) no
reduction shall be made with respect to securities offered by the Company for
its own account in connection with the Piggyback Registration, and (b) no
reduction in the securities to be registered by Executive shall occur until all
other securities, other than those offered by the Company, have been reduced pro
rata to the reduction of the Registrable Securities which were requested to be
included and eligible for resale in such offering. If Executive disapproves of
the terms of the underwriting, Executive may elect to withdraw therefrom by
written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the other holders.
In such event, the Registrable Securities affected shall be withdrawn from
registration.

         4.3 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All Registration Expenses (defined below)
incurred in connection with a Piggyback Registration shall be borne by the
Company. All Selling Expenses (defined below) incurred in connection with a
Piggyback Registration shall be borne by Executive for the Registrable
Securities so registered. For purposes of this SECTION 4.3:

                  (a) "REGISTRATION EXPENSES" shall mean all expenses incurred
         by the Company in connection with a Piggyback Registration, including,
         without limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees,
         underwriters expense allowances, printing expenses, fees and
         disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses
         (but excluding the compensation of regular employees of the Company
         which shall be paid in any event by the Company).

                  (b) "SELLING EXPENSES" shall mean all underwriting discounts
         and selling commissions applicable to the sale of the Registrable
         Securities in the Piggyback Registration and all fees and disbursements
         of any special counsel (other than the Company's regular counsel) for
         Executive(but excluding the compensation of regular employees of the
         Company which shall be paid in any event by the Company).

         4.4 QUALIFICATION FOR SALE. In connection with a Piggyback
Registration, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
Registrable Securities so registered to be registered or qualified for sale
under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as Executive may
reasonably request; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to
qualify to do business in any state by reason of this SECTION 4.4 in which it is
not otherwise required to qualify to do business.

                                        6

         4.5 EFFECTIVENESS. In connection with a Piggyback Registration, the
Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with
respect to the Registrable Securities requested to be registered and use its
reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective, and shall keep effective any Piggyback Registration and shall from
time to time amend or supplement each applicable registration statement,
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, application, document and
communication for such period of time as shall be required to permit Executive
to complete the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities covered thereby.
The Company shall in no event be required to keep any such Piggyback
Registration in effect for more than twelve (12) months from the initial
effective date of the Piggyback Registration; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if during
the twelve (12) month period of effectiveness of the registration statement, the
Company gives to Executive a Blackout Notice pursuant to SECTION 4.6, the
Company shall extend the effectiveness of the registration statement for the
same time period as that set forth in the Blackout Notice.

         4.6 BLACKOUT RIGHTS. Following the effective date of any registration
statement filed pursuant to ARTICLE 4 of this Agreement, the Company shall be
entitled, from time to time, to notify Executive to discontinue offers or sales
of shares pursuant to such registration statement for Registrable Securities for
the period of time stated in the written notice (the "Blackout Notice"), if the
Company determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that the disclosure
required in connection with the offers and sales of the Registrable Securities
could materially damage the Company's ability to successfully complete an
acquisition, corporate reorganization, securities offering or other voluntary
transaction undertaken by the Company (which information the Company would not
be required to disclose at such time other than in connection with Executive's
registration statement) that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries
taken as a whole. The time period for which Executive must discontinue offers or
sales of shares pursuant to a Blackout Notice shall be for any period the
Company reasonably believes is necessary, and if, the Company is unable to
determine the duration of such period at the time the Blackout Notice is issued,
the Blackout Notice may state that the period extends "until the Executive is
otherwise notified by the Company"; provided that the Blackout Notice may not
exceed more than ninety (90) consecutive days or an aggregate of one hundred
eighty (180) days within any calendar year. The Blackout Notice shall be signed
by an authorized officer of the Company and shall certify the Company's
determination. Executive agrees that upon receipt of a Blackout Notice he shall
discontinue offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to any such
registration statement for the period of time stated in the Blackout Notice.

         4.7 DISTRIBUTION OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT. In connection with
Piggyback Registration, the Company shall promptly furnish to Executive such
number of copies of the registration statement and of each amendment and
supplement thereto (in each case, including all exhibits), such reasonable
number of copies of each prospectus contained in such registration statement and
each supplement or amendment thereto (including each preliminary prospectus),
all of which shall conform to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act") and the rules and regulations thereunder, and
such other documents, as Executive may reasonably request to facilitate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities included in such registration.

         4.8 NOTIFICATION OF EFFECTIVENESS. The Company shall notify Executive
promptly when such registration statement has become effective or a supplement
to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed.

         4.9 OTHER NOTIFICATIONS. The Company shall promptly notify Executive at
any time when the prospectus included in the Piggyback Registration, as then in
effect, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing, and at the reasonable request of Executive prepare and furnish to it
such number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as
may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made.

         4.10 INDEMNIFICATION BY COMPANY. Subject to the conditions set forth
below, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Executive from and
against any and all loss, liability, charge, claim, damage, and expense
whatsoever (which shall include, for all purposes of this SECTION 4.10, but not
be limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and any and all reasonable expenses
whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any
litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all
amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), as and when incurred,
arising out of, based upon, or in connection with any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in any registration
statement, preliminary prospectus, or final prospectus (as from time to time
amended and supplemented), or any amendment or supplement thereto, relating to
the sale of any of the Registrable Securities or (B) in any application or other
document or communication (in this SECTION 4.10 collectively called an
"Application") executed by or on behalf of the Company and based upon written
information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction
in order to register or qualify any of the Registrable Securities under the
Securities Act or blue sky laws thereof or filed with the Commission or any
securities exchange; or any omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made
therein not misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or
on behalf of Executive for inclusion in any registration statement, preliminary
prospectus, or final prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in
any application, as the case may be.

         If any action is brought against Executive in respect of which
indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant to the foregoing paragraph,
Executive shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the institution of
such action (the failure to notify the Company within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, to the extent prejudicial to the Company's
ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Company of liability to
Executive pursuant to this SECTION 4.10) and the Company shall promptly assume
the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel, provided that
Executive shall have the right to employ his own counsel in any such case, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel

                                        8

<Page>

shall be at the expense of Executive unless the employment of such counsel shall
have been authorized in writing by the Company in connection with the defense of
such action or Executive shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one
or more legal defenses available to him which are different from or additional
to those available to the Company, in any of which events such fees and expenses
shall be borne by the Company and the Company shall not have the right to direct
the defense of such action on behalf of Executive. Notwithstanding anything in
this SECTION 4.10 to the contrary, the Company shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written consent. The
Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Executive, settle or
compromise any action, or permit a default or consent to the entry of judgment
in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, in
respective of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, unless such settlement,
compromise, consent, or termination includes an unconditional release of
Executive from all liability in respect of such action. The Company agrees
promptly to notify Executive of the commencement of any litigation or
proceedings against the Company or any of its officers or directors in
connection with the sale of any Registrable Securities or any preliminary
prospectus, prospectus, registration statement, or amendment or supplement
thereto, or any application relating to any sale of any Registrable Securities.

         4.11 INDEMNIFICATION BY EXECUTIVE. Executive agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the
Company who shall have signed any registration statement covering Registrable
Securities held by Executive, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from
the Company to Executive in SECTION 4.10, but only with respect to statements or
omissions, if any, made in any registration statement, preliminary prospectus,
or final prospectus (as from time to time amended and supplemented), or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company with respect to
Executive by or on behalf of Executive, for inclusion in any such registration
statement, preliminary prospectus, or final prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or in any application, as the case may be. If any action
shall be brought against the Company or any other person so indemnified based on
any such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, or final prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, and in respect of
which indemnity may be sought against Executive pursuant to this SECTION 4.11,
Executive shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and the Company
and each other person so indemnified shall have the rights and duties given to
Executive, by the provisions of SECTION 4.10.

         4.12 TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The covenants set forth in
Article IV of this Agreement shall terminate with respect to Executive on the
date that Executive is eligible to sell all of his Registrable Securities under
Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

         5.1 LOCK-UP PERIOD. Executive hereby agrees that, if so requested by
the Company or any representative of the underwriters in connection with any
registration of the offering of any securities of the Company under the
Securities Act, Executive shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Registrable
Securities during the period requested in writing by the managing underwriter
and agreed to in writing by the Company (the "Market Standoff Period"). The
Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to Option Shares
subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff
Period.
