<PAGE>

     5.  ACCELERATION.  The entire unpaid principal sum and accrued and unpaid
         ------------
interest on this Note shall become immediately due and payable upon the
occurrence of any of the following events (each, an "Event of Default"):

         (i)    thirty (30) days after the termination of the Executive's
     employment with the Company or any of the Company's subsidiaries for any
     reason; or

         (ii)   the occurrence of a material default by the Executive of his
     obligations under the Pledge Agreement securing this Note or of any
     obligation secured thereby.

     6.  SECURITY.  This Note is secured by a first priority lien on 156,600
         --------
shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Pledged Shares") pursuant to that
certain Stock Pledge Agreement by and between the Company and the Executive,
dated as of the date hereof (the "Pledge Agreement").  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Note is fully recourse against the Executive and the Executive
shall be liable for all principal hereunder and interest thereon without regard
to the Pledged Shares or any other collateral securing this Note.

     7.  COLLECTION.  If this Note is not paid when due, whether at maturity or
         ----------
by acceleration, the Executive promises to pay on demand all costs of collection
(including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees) and all expenses incurred in
connection with the protection or realization of any collateral incurred by the
holder hereof, on account of any such collection, protection or realization,
whether or not suit is filed hereon or on the Pledge Agreement or any other
instrument granting a security interest securing this Note.

     8.  WAIVER BY THE EXECUTIVE.  The Executive expressly waives presentment,
         -----------------------
protest and demand, notice of protest, demand and dishonor and nonpayment of
this Note and all other notices or demands of any kind in connection with the
delivery, acceptance, performance or enforcement of this Note, and consents and
expressly agrees to any extensions of time (including multiple extensions and
extensions for longer than the original term of this Note), renewals, releases
of any person or entity liable for the payment of all or any portion of this
Note, releases of the Pledged Shares or any other collateral securing this Note,
and waivers or modifications or other indulgences that may be granted or
consented to by the holder of this Note in respect of the loan evidenced by this
Note, in each case without in any way affecting the liability of the Executive
or any endorsers hereof.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of
the statute of limitations in any action on this Note is waived by the
Executive.

     9.  NO WAIVER BY COMPANY.  No single or partial exercise of any power
         --------------------
hereunder shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other power.  No delay or omission on the part of the holder hereof in
exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any
other right under this Note.  Acceptance of any sum by the holder that is less
than full payment shall not be construed as a waiver of any default in the
payment of this Note.

     10.  USURY PROTECTION.  All agreements between the Executive and the holder
          ----------------
hereof are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever,
whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof, acceleration of
maturity of the unpaid principal balance hereof, or otherwise, shall the amount
paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance or
detention of the money to be advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate
permissible under applicable usury laws.  If, from any circumstances whatsoever,
fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision
shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law
that a court of competent jurisdiction may

                                       2
<PAGE>

deem applicable hereto, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any circumstances the holder
shall ever receive as interest an amount that would exceed the highest lawful
rate, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the
reduction of the unpaid principal balance due hereunder and not to the payment
of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all
agreements between the Executive and the holder hereof with respect to the
foregoing.

     11.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Note is to be governed by and construed according
          -------------
to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to any
applicable conflicts of law.

     12.  AMENDMENT.  This Note may from time to time be extended or renewed,
          ---------
with or without notice to the Executive, and any related right may be waived,
exchanged, surrendered or otherwise dealt with, all without affecting the
liability of the Executive.

                             STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT
                             ----------------------

     This Stock Pledge Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as
of March 13, 2001 between Mark Cosway, an individual (the "Executive"), and
C-bridge Internet Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").

     A.  Concurrently herewith, the Executive is executing and delivering to the
Company, a Secured Promissory Note dated as of the date hereof in the principal
amount of $1,000,000 (as it may be amended, the "Executive Note"); and

     B.  The Company is willing to accept the Executive Note so long as the
Executive pledges 156,600 shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by the
Executive (the "Pledged Shares") to the Company as security for the payment of
the Note.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants
herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.  PLEDGE.  As security for the prompt and complete payment when due of the
    ------
unpaid principal of, and interest on, the Executive Note, the Executive hereby
pledges to the Company, and grants to the Company a security interest in, the
Pledged Shares.  The Company shall be deemed to hold the Pledged Shares for the
benefit of itself as lender pursuant to the Executive Note and otherwise in
trust for the Executive pursuant to the terms hereof.

2.  DELIVERY OF PLEDGED SHARES.  Upon the execution of this Pledge Agreement,
    --------------------------
the Executive shall deliver to the Company the certificate(s) representing the
Pledged Shares, together with such duly executed forms of assignment sufficient
to transfer title thereto as the Company may reasonably request.

3.  VOTING RIGHTS; CASH DIVIDENDS.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
    -----------------------------
contained herein, during the term of this Pledge Agreement and until such time
as there exists a material default under the Executive Note, the Executive shall
be entitled to all voting rights with respect to the Pledged Shares, and shall
be entitled to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Shares.
Upon the occurrence of, and during the continuance of, any such default, the
Company shall retain all such cash dividends payable on the Pledged Shares as
additional security hereunder.

4.  STOCK DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, ETC.  If, while this Pledge Agreement is in
    ------------------------------------
effect, the Executive becomes entitled to receive or receives any securities or
other property in respect of, in substitution for, or in exchange for any of the
Pledged Shares (whether as a distribution in connection with any
recapitalization, reorganization or reclassification, a stock dividend or
otherwise), the Executive shall, upon reasonable request by the Company, accept
such securities or other property on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the
Company as additional security for the Executive's obligations under the
Executive Note and shall promptly deliver such additional security to the
Company together with such duly executed forms of assignment as the Company
<PAGE>

may reasonably request, and such additional security shall be deemed to be part
of the Pledged Shares hereunder.

5.  DEFAULT.  If the Executive defaults in the payment of principal or interest
    -------
under the Executive Note when it becomes due, the Company may exercise any and
all the rights, powers and remedies of any owner of the Pledged Shares
(including the right to vote the Pledged Shares and receive dividends and
distributions with respect to the Pledged Shares) and shall have, and may
exercise, any and all the rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon
default under the Uniform Commercial Code of Massachusetts or otherwise
available to the Company under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing,
the Company is authorized to sell, assign and deliver at its discretion, from
time to time, all or any part of the Pledged Shares at any private sale or
public auction, on not less than ten days written notice to the Executive, at
such price or prices and upon such terms as the Company may deem advisable.  The
Executive shall have no right to redeem the Pledged Shares after any such sale
or assignment.  At any such sale or auction, the Company may bid for, and become
the purchaser of, the whole or any part of the Pledged Shares offered for sale.
In case of any such sale, after deducting the costs, attorneys' fees and other
expenses of sale and delivery, the remaining proceeds of such sale shall be
applied to the principal of and accrued interest on the Executive Note;
provided, however, that after payment in full of the aggregate indebtedness
evidenced by the Executive Note, the balance of the proceeds of sale then
remaining shall be paid to the Executive and the Executive shall be entitled to
the return of any of the Pledged Shares remaining in the custody of the Company.
The Executive shall be liable for any deficiency if the remaining proceeds are
insufficient to pay the indebtedness under the Executive Note in full.

6.  PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS AND RELEASE OF PLEDGED SHARES.  Upon payment of any
    -----------------------------------------------------
portion of the aggregate indebtedness evidenced by the Executive Note, the
Company shall promptly release a pro rata portion of the Pledged Shares to the
Executive, together with all forms of assignment reasonably requested by the
Executive and other documentation reasonably requested by the Executive relating
to the released Pledged Shares.  Upon full payment of all principal and interest
evidenced by the Executive Note, the Company shall promptly release all Pledged
Shares to the Executive, together with all forms of assignment reasonably
requested by the Executive and other documentation reasonably requested by the
Executive relating to them.

7.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  The Executive hereby represents and
    ------------------------------
warrants to the Company that the Executive has record and beneficial ownership
of the Pledged Shares, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances and
security interests of every kind and nature (except as created by this
Agreement), and has the authority to pledge the Pledged Shares to the Company
and to perform the Executive's obligations hereunder.

8.  FURTHER ASSURANCES.  Each Party agrees that at any time, and from time to
    ------------------
time, upon the reasonable written request of the other Party, such Party shall
promptly execute and deliver such further documents, and promptly do such
further acts and things, as are reasonably necessary in order to effect the
purposes of this Pledge Agreement.
