Dear Sirs:
Re: Thomas I.A. Allen
Asia Broadband, Inc. ("ASA.B" or the "Company") wishes to retain the services of Mr. Thomas Allen as a director to serve on the Board of Directors of ASAB. By way of this letter we seek the permission of Inter-Canadian Capital Strategies Inc. ("ICCS") to grant Mr. Allen the time and flexibility to join our board and assist in the growth of the Company.
In recognition of the contribution Mr. Allen will be asked to make we are prepared to offer the following remuneration package:
- 250,000 stock options will be granted to ICCS, priced at US$0.20. Options will be exercisable as to 1/3 upon grant, and 1/3 every six months thereafter until fully vested. Should Mr. Allen resign his position as director prior to the end of the first six-month term, the aforementioned options will be forfeited;
- Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance - initially US$2,000,000. This will be reviewed once the Company has secured secondary financing and has commenced operations;

Days spent in traveling on behalf of the Company will be reimbursed at the rate of US$2,000 per day. Again, until secondary financing has been secured, we would ask that ICCS agree to accept a payment of US$1,000 per day and accrue the balance, to be paid post financing.
