SECTION 1:  PURPOSE; DEFINITIONS

      The DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation Stock Option Plan (the

Corporation to reward officers, directors, key employees and outside

Bulletin Board on such date, or if the Stock did not trade on such date, on
the next preceding day on which trades were made.

      (g)   "INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION" means any Stock Option intended to
qualify as an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Code.

      (h)   "INCOME TAX ACT" means the Canadian income tax act as currently
in effect, as amended from time to time, or any successor thereto.

      (i)   "NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION" means any Stock Option that is not
an Incentive Stock Option.

      (l)   "STOCK OPTION" means any option to purchase shares of Stock
granted pursuant to Section 5.

SECTION 2:  ADMINISTRATION

      The Plan shall be administered by a Committee composed of not fewer
than two members of the Board.  Members of the Committee shall be appointed
by the Board and shall serve at the pleasure of the Board.

The Committee shall have the power and authority, in its discretion:

      (i)   to select Participants from among the Eligible Employees;

      (ii)   to determine whether and to what extent Stock Options,
Restricted Stock, or any combination of the foregoing, are to be granted to
Eligible Employees hereunder;

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

      (iv)   to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with
the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder; and

      (v)   to determine the terms and conditions of any written instruments
evidencing Stock Options, Restricted Stock, or any combination of the
foregoing awarded under the Plan.

      The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such
administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it
shall, from time to time, deem advisable; to interpret the terms and
provisions of the Plan and any award issued under the Plan (and any
agreements relating thereto); and to otherwise supervise the administration
of the Plan.

      All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company and the
Participants.

SECTION 3:  STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

      Subject to adjustment in accordance with the second and third
paragraphs of this Section 3, the maximum number of shares of Stock reserved
and available for awards made under the Plan in any calendar year shall be
equal to no greater than an aggregate of 15% of the total amount of the
shares of common Stock outstanding of the Company.

      To the extent that a Stock Option expires or is otherwise terminated
without being exercised, the shares of Stock underlying such Stock Option
shall again be available for issuance in connection with future awards under
the Plan.

      In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, stock dividend, or other change in corporate structure
affecting the Stock, the Committee shall make an appropriate adjustment in
(i)   the aggregate number of shares of Stock reserved for issuance
under the Plan or for which awards may be made under the Plan, and (ii) the
number and Option Price of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Stock
Options granted under the Plan; provided, that the number of shares of Stock
subject to any award shall always be a whole number.  The Committee may make
other substitutions or adjustments, but no such substitution or adjustment
shall be effective if it would cause any Stock Option previously granted to
an individual described in Section 162(m)(3) of the Code to fail to qualify
for the performance-based compensation exception prescribed by Section
162(m)(4)(C) of the code; and further provided, that no such substitution or
adjustment shall be effective, without the Participant's consent, if it would
cause the Incentive Stock Options status of any Stock Option held by the
Participant to be impaired.  A sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company for which a substantial portion of the consideration provided
consists of securities shall be deemed a consolidation, amalgamation or
merger for the purposes hereof.

      Shares issued pursuant to Plan awards may consist in whole or in part
of authorized and unissued shares or of treasury shares.

SECTION 4:  ELIGIBILITY

      Officers, directors, key employees of the Company and consultants and
advisors to the Company who are responsible for or contribute to the growth
and/or profitability of the business of the Company shall be deemed to be
Eligible Employees who eligible to be granted awards hereunder.  The
Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Plan
Administering Committee from among those Eligible Employees, and the
Committee shall determine the number of shares of Stock covered by each
award.

SECTION 5:  STOCK OPTIONS

      Stock Options may be granted alone, in addition to or in combination
with other awards granted under the Plan.  Any Stock Option granted under the
Plan shall be in such form as the Plan Administering Committee may from time
to time approve, and the provisions of Stock Option awards need not be the
same with respect to each Participant.  Recipients of Stock Options shall
enter into a stock option agreement with the Company, in such form as the
Committee shall determine, which agreement shall set forth, either expressly
or by incorporation of the terms of the Plan, among other things, the Option
Price, the term of the Stock Option and provisions regarding exercisability
of the Stock Option granted thereunder.

      Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive
Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options.  The Committee shall have
the authority to grant any Participant Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified
Stock Options, or both types of stock options as designated.

      Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions,
not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee may determine:

      (a)   OPTION PRICE.  The Option Price per share of Stock purchasable
under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the date of
grant but in the case of an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than
100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date.

      (b)   OPTION TERM.  The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the
Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after
the date such Stock Option is granted.

      (c)   EXERCISABILITY.  Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time
or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by
the Committee at or after grant.  The Committee may accelerate the
exercisability of a Stock Option at any time, to such extent as it may
determine.

      (d)   TIMING AND METHOD OF EXERCISE.  The exercise of a Stock Option
shall be accomplished by giving written notice of exercise to the Company
specifying the number of shares of Stock to be purchased, accompanied by
payment in full of the Option Price in cash or certified check payable to the
Company.  The Company shall, prior to the delivery of any shares of Stock
subject to an exercise, make arrangements for the payment of withholding
taxes, if any, as provided in Section 6(d).

      (e)   NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.  No Incentive Stock Option shall
be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution, and all Incentive Stock Options shall be
exercisable, during the Participant's lifetime, only by the Participant.
Non-qualified Stock Options shall be transferable only to the extent, if any,
determined by the Committee.

      (f)   TERMINATION OF ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES BY REASON OF DEATH OR
DISABILITY.  If a Participant's employment with the Company terminates by
reason of death, any Stock Option held by the Participant at time of death
may thereafter be exercised, to the extent exercisable immediately prior to
death (or on such accelerated basis as the Committee shall determine at or
after grant), by the legal representative of the estate of the Participant
for a period within one year after the date of Employee's death.  If the
termination is for reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such
Participant may thereafter be exercised to the extent it was exercisable at
the time of such termination (or on such accelerated basis as the Committee
shall determine at or after grant), for a period of one year (or such shorter
period as the Committee shall specify at grant) from the date of such
termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such
Stock Option, whichever period is shorter, provided, however, that, if the
Participant dies within such one-year period (or such shorter period as the
Committee shall specify at grant), any unexercised Stock Option held by such
Participant shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which it was
exercisable at the time of death for a period of one year (or such shorter
period as the Committee shall specify at grant) from the time of such death
or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever
period is shorter.

      (g)   OTHER TERMINATION.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section
5, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if a Participant's
employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than death or
Disability, the Stock Option may thereafter be exercised to the extent it was
exercisable at the time of such termination (or on such accelerated basis as
the Committee shall determine at or after grant) for the lesser of thirty
(30) calendar days from the date of termination or until the expiration of
such Stock Option's term; provided, that if the Participant's employment is
terminated for cause, all Stock Options then held by the Participant may
provide that they are terminated immediately.

SECTION 6:  GENERAL PROVISIONS

      (a)   The Committee may require each person purchasing shares of Stock
pursuant to a Stock Option to represent to and agree with the Company in
writing that such person is acquiring the shares of Stock without a view to
distribution thereof. The certificates for such shares of Stock may include
any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions
on transfer.

      (b)   All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan
shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the
Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange
upon which the Stock is then listed, and any applicable Federal or state
securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on
any such certificates to make appropriate references to such restrictions.

      (c)   Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from
adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to
stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may
be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.  The
Plan shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company to
terminate the employment of any of its employees at any time or to terminate
the services of any consultant or advisor to the Company.

      (d)   Each Participant may be required to pay, no later than the date
as of which the value of an award first becomes includible in the gross
income of the Participant for Federal income tax purposes, to the Company, or
make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of, any
Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld
with respect to the award.  The obligations of the Company under the Plan
shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements and the Company (and,
where applicable, its Subsidiaries) shall, to the extent permitted by law,
have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind
otherwise due to the Participant.

      (e)   No member of the Board or the Committee, nor any officer or
employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall
be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken
or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board
or the Committee and each and any officer or employee of the Company acting
on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified
and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination or
interpretation.

SECTION 8:  TERM OF PLAN
