           This Agreement is made as of the ____ day of April, 2004


BETWEEN:    SUNBURST ACQUISITIONS IV INC.

            103-20120 64th Ave.

            Langley, British Columbia

            CANADA V2Y1M8


                      hereinafter referred to as "Company"

            1999 Ave. of the Stars

            Los Angeles, CA 90067

            United States


                      hereinafter referred to as "Optionee"


WHEREAS,  the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of  Directors")  has authorized the granting to Optionee, for services to be rendered by Optionee as, in  accordance  with the terms of a Finder's  Agreement  ("Finder's  Agreement") between  the Company  and  Optionee  entered  into on even date  herewith,  of a non-qualified  stock  option to  purchase  the number of shares of common  stock ("Common  Stock") of the Company  specified  in  Paragraph 1 hereof at the price specified  therein,  such  option  to be for the term and  upon  the  terms  and conditions hereinafter stated in this Option Agreement.


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the undertakings of the Parties hereto contained herein, it is hereby agreed:


1.    NUMBER OF SHARES: OPTION PRICE


      Pursuant to said  action of the Board of  Directors,  the  Company  hereby grants  to  Optionee,  in  consideration  of  consulting  services  to  be performed  for the  benefit  of the  Company,  the  option  ("Option")  to purchase  up to Three  Million  (3,000,000)  shares  ("Option  Shares") of Common  Stock of the  Company,  at the  exercise  price equal to one penny ($0.01) (the "Exercise Price").


      Notwithstanding  anything in this Option Agreement to the contrary,  in no event will the  Optionee be  entitled  to exercise  the Option to purchase Option  shares  in  excess  of such  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock beneficially  owned by the Optionee and its affiliates  (other than shares of Common  Stock  which  may be  deemed  beneficially  owned  through  the ownership of the  unexercised  Warrants and the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company, subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise)  that would result in beneficial  ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the  outstanding  



- 4 -



shares of Common  Stock.  For  purposes  of  the  immediately   preceding  sentence, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  and  Regulation  13D-G thereunder.


2.    TERM


      This option will expire five (5) years from the date of signing of this Option Agreement.


3.    SHARES SUBJECT TO EXERCISE


      The options are immediately exercisable and remain subject to exercise for the term specified in Section 2, regardless of the termination of the Finder's Agreement.


4.    METHOD AND TIME OF EXERCISE


      The Option may be  exercised  by written  notice  delivered to the Company stating  the  number of shares  with  respect to which the Option is being exercised  together with a check made payable to the Company in the amount of the  purchase  price of the  shares.  Not less than one hundred (100) shares may be purchased at any one time unless the number purchased is the total number purchasable under the Option at the time. Only whole shares may be purchased.  The Company must carry out any and all acts to ensure that the Company and its transfer agent duly and properly issue the shares underlying the options to Optionee.


5.    EXERCISE ON TERMINATION


      This  Option  will  not  terminate  as a  result  of  the  termination  of Optionee's  services as a  consultant  to the Company or as a result of an early termination of the Finder's Agreement by Company.


6.    TRANSFERABILITY


      This Option may not be assigned or transferred except, (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) with consent of the Company.


7.    OPTIONEE NOT A SHAREHOLDER


      Optionee has no rights as a shareholder with respect to the Common Stock of the Company covered by the Option until the date of issuance of a stock certificate or stock certificates to him upon exercise of the Option.  No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate or certificates are issued.


8.    REGISTRATION RIGHTS --PIGGY BACK AND DEMAND


      Optionee  represents  and agrees  that,  upon  Optionee's  exercise of the Option in whole or part,  unless there is in effect at that time under the Securities Act of 1933 a registration  statement -- relating to the shares issued to him, he will acquire the shares  issuable  upon



- 5 -



exercise of this Option for the purpose of  investment  and not with a view to their resale or further distribution.


      The Shares shall carry piggy-back  registration rights and as such Company is required to include the Shares in any  registration  statement filed by the  Company  for the  registration  of any shares of common  stock in the Company.  Notwithstanding,  upon demand by the holder of the Shares to the Company,   the  Shares  shall  be  registered  pursuant  to  an  effective registration  statement  duly filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including a registration on Form S-8.


9.    REPRESENTATION.


      Company represents that it has carried out any and all acts necessary to effect the issuance of this Agreement.


10.   NOTICES


      All notices to the parties may be sent at the addresses and numbers listed above, or to such other address and fax number as either may designate to the other in writing. A notice will be deemed to be duly given if and when enclosed  in a  properly  addressed  sealed  envelope  deposited,  postage prepaid and  followed by  facsimile  to the  addressee.  In lieu of giving notice by mail as aforesaid,  written  notices under this Agreement may be given by personal  delivery to the Optionee or to the Company (as the case may be), or by a recognized courier.


11.   ADJUSTMENTS


      If there is any change in the  capitalization  of the Company affecting in any manner the number or kind of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company,  whether by stock  dividend,  stock  split,  reclassification  or recapitalization  of such  stock,  or because  the  Company  has merged or consolidated with one or more other  corporations (and provided the Option does not thereby terminate pursuant to Section 2 hereof),  then the number and kind of shares  then  subject  to the  Option and the price to be paid therefore will be appropriately adjusted by the Company; provided however, that in no event will any such  adjustment  result in the Company's  being required to sell or issue any fractional  shares. Any such adjustment will be made without change in the aggregate purchase price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option, but with an appropriate adjustment to the price of each Share or other unit of security covered by this Option.


12.   CESSATION OF CORPORATE EXISTENCE


      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Option,  under the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the reorganization, merger or consolidation of the  Company  with one or more  corporations  as a result  of which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or the sale of substantially all the assets of the Company or of more than fifty  percent (50%) of the then outstanding  stock of the Company to another  corporation or other entity, the Option  granted  hereunder will  terminate;  provided,  however,  that within  five (5) days before the  effective  



- 6 -



date of such  dissolution  or liquidation,  merger  or  consolidation  or sale of  assets  in which  the Company is not the surviving corporation, the Company may, but will not be so obligated to, tender to any Optionee,  an option to purchase  shares of the  surviving  corporation,  and such new option or options  will contain such terms and provisions as required substantially to preserve the rights and benefits of this Option.


13.   INVALID PROVISIONS


      In the event that any  provision  of this Option  Agreement is found to be invalid  or  otherwise   unenforceable  under  any  applicable  law,  such invalidity  or  unenforceability  will not be construed  as rendering  any other provisions  contained herein invalid or unenforceable,  and all such other provisions will be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained therein.


14.   APPLICABLE LAW


      This Agreement shall be enforced, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.  The parties hereto hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States Federal Courts located in New York with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The party which does not prevail in any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be responsible for all fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such dispute.


15.   COUNTERPARTS


      This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which is deemed an Original but all of which constitute but one Agreement.  A copy of this Agreement signed by a party and delivered by facsimile transmission to the other party has the same effect as the delivery of an original of this Agreement containing the original signature of such party.
