(2)  Mark Draper of Borrowell House, Borrowell Lane, Kenilworth, Warwickshire,
     CV8 1ER

1.   TITLE

1.1  You will be employed as the Company's Chief Executive with responsibility
     for the Company's operations in the UK and Europe.

1.2  You will be a Director of the Board.

2.   JOB DUTIES

You agree that you will:-

2.1  unless you are absent from work due to ill health, incapacity, injury or at
     the Company's request, devote the whole of your working time, attention and
     abilities to your duties under this agreement;

2.2  faithfully and diligently perform your duties to the best of your ability
     and use your best endeavours to promote the interests of the Company and
     any Group Company;

2.3  without payment of additional salary or remuneration, accept any offices or
     directorships in the Company or any Group Company and perform such other
     additional duties in relation to the business of the Company or any Group
     Company as may from time to time be reasonably vested in or assigned to you
     by the Board and/or the CEO (as defined in clause 31 of this agreement).

2.4  obey the reasonable directions of the Company and comply with any lawful
     rules or regulations issued by the CEO and/or the Board from time to time;

2.5  keep the CEO (or the board of any other Group Company for whom you are
     carrying out your duties), folly informed and in a timely manner of any
     activities you are undertaking on the Company's or any Group Company's
     behalf, in such form as the CEO and/or the Board may reasonably require;

2.6  agree to carry out your duties and exercise your powers jointly with any
     other person appointed by the CEO and/or the Board in their discretion to
     act jointly with you in a temporary capacity, in the event that you are
     absent for more than 2 consecutive months, due to illness or for any other
     reason, and for the duration of the absence.

     company or to the interests or reputation of the Company or any Group
     Company.

3.   OUTSIDE INTERESTS

3.1  Without prejudice to clause 2 above, you agree that during your employment,
     you will not be engaged, interested or concerned in any activity, office or
     outside business interests without the consent of the Board. Should you
     wish to hold any non-executive director positions in other companies, you
     must first seek the consent of the Board. Such consent will not be
     unreasonably withheld. You will disclose in writing to the Board any such
     activities, offices or outside business interests you may currently have,
     or which you subsequently wish to undertake and in the event that the Board
     requires you to cease the same or decline an opportunity, you will do so
     forthwith. For the avoidance of doubt consent will not be given inter alia
     in relation to any activities, offices or business interests which in the
     view of the Board, are similar to, or compete directly or indirectly with
     the business of the Company or any Group Company, or which could in the
     view of the Board, give rise to a conflict of interest or interfere with
     the efficient performance of your duties.

3.2  Subject to clause 3.1 you may, however, hold (directly or through nominees
     including your spouse, partner or minor children) by way of bona fide
     personal investment, any units of any authorised unit trust, and up to 3%
     of the issued shares, debentures or other securities of any private company
     or of any class of company whose shares are listed on a recognised
     investment exchange or dealt in the Alternative Investment Market. Any
     existing shareholding in excess of the 3% threshold acquired before the
     commencement of your employment with the Company may only be retained with
     the consent of the Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

4.   FREEDOM TO TAKE UP EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY

You undertake that any notice period you are required to give or to serve with a
previous employer has expired and that by entering into or performing any of
your duties for the Company, you will not be in breach of any other obligation
binding on you.

5.   PERIOD OF CONTINUOUS EMPLOYMENT:

Your period of continuous employment for the purposes of the Employment Rights
Act 1996 will commence on 27 September 2004. No employment with a previous
employer counts as part of your period of continuous employment with the
Company.

6.   TERM

6.1  Subject to clause 21 below and the remainder of this clause 6, your
     employment is terminable by either party giving to the other not less than
     12 months' written notice.

6.2  Subject to its rights under clause 21, the Company may in its absolute
     discretion choose to terminate your employment at any time and make you a
     payment in lieu of notice equivalent to your basic salary over any
     unexpired period of notice plus an additional


                                        2

<PAGE>

     25% of your base salary in accordance with the provisions set out in clause
     10.1. This will be paid less tax, national insurance contributions and
     other deductions required by law.

6.3  In the event that your employment is (a) terminated by reason of a Change
     of Control, or (b) you resign due to a diminution in your position as a
     result of a Change of Control, up to six (6) months after the date the
     Company enters into a contract binding it to a Business Sale, Merger or
     Sale constituting a Change of Control (provided your employment is not
     summarily terminated in accordance with clause 21 of this Agreement), you
     will be entitled to a payment equal to that set out at clause 6.2 above.
     This payment will be made net of tax, national insurance contributions and
     other deductions required by law.

     No additional severance payments will be payable under the agreement in
     such circumstances. The payment detailed in this clause 6.3 will be paid
     within 7 days of your termination or resignation.

7.   PLACE OF WORK

Your place of work will initially be the Company's main office in Warwickshire,
wherever it may be situated, the location of which may change from time to time.
Further, you may be required from time to time, to perform your duties at the
premises of customers of the Company and will be expected to travel on the
business of the Company to the US and/or anywhere in the world.

8.   SALARY

You will be paid a basic salary of L136,000 per annum paid less tax,
national insurance contributions and any other deductions required by law. Your
salary will accrue on a day-today basis and will be payable monthly in arrears
on or about the last business day of the month. Your salary is paid in respect
of your duties both for the Company and any other Group Company for whom you are
required to work and includes any directors' fees to be paid to you.

Adjustments to your compensation will be considered on the anniversary of your
commencement of employment, or more often if the Board considers fit.

9.   EXPENSES

You will be reimbursed all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably and properly
incurred by you on the business of the Company or any Group Company provided you
produce to the Company such evidence of actual payment of the expenses concerned
as the Company reasonably requires.

10.  BENEFITS

10.1 BONUS. You are eligible to participate in the Company's bonus plan (the
     "Plan"). Based on the successful achievement by the Company of
     pre-determined goals and targets of the Company and the Parent Company (as
     defined in 31 of this agreement), and dependant on your own individual
     performance as assessed by the Company in its discretion, you


                                        3

<PAGE>

     may qualify for a bonus of up to 50% of your base salary. The Plan results
     and payments will be determined following the plan year after the Company's
     annual audited results have been completed and announced. The Plan may be
     varied from time to time in the discretion of the Company, and the goals
     and targets are likely to vary from year to year. The fact that a bonus is
     paid in one year is no guarantee that bonuses will be paid in subsequent
     years. If your employment is terminated part way through a plan year you
     will be entitled to 50% of the bonus as described above, which will be 25%
     of your base salary. Bonuses are paid less tax, national insurance
     contributions and other deductions required by law.

10.2 PENSION. The Company will, subject to Inland Revenue limits and the rules
     of the particular plan both of which may vary from time to time, contribute
     15% of your basic salary in equal monthly instalments to a personal pension
     plan nominated by you. There is no contracting out certificate in relation
     to your employment.

10.3 PRIVATE MEDICAL EXPENSES INSURANCE. The Company does not currently operate
     a private health insurance scheme. The Company shall, however, reimburse
     you for up to a maximum of L2,000 per annum, which may be paid
     monthly, in respect to the costs associated with your current private
     health insurance premiums, which cover you and your eligible dependents.
     The Company will consider at least once each calendar year to increase this
     amount to take into account indexation and the rising cost of premiums. Any
     agreement to increase the Company's contribution to your private premiums
     will be set out in writing.

     If the Company sets up a Company private health insurance scheme in the
     future, you will be given the choice as to whether to remain with your
     private scheme or transfer to the Company scheme. If you transfer to the
     Company scheme you agree that the Company may cease reimbursing you for any
     costs associated with your current private health insurance premiums and
     subject to your meeting any conditions of eligibility, you will be covered
     by such a scheme subject to the rules of the scheme, which may vary from
     time to time. The Company may vary, withdraw or replace the scheme with a
     broadly equivalent one if it so chooses. This is a benefit in respect of
     which you will be liable to pay income tax.

10.4 LIFE ASSURANCE. The Company does not currently operate a life assurance
     scheme. The Company shall, however, reimburse you for up to a maximum of
     L85 per month, with respect to the costs associated with your current
     private life assurance premiums, which provide for 4 x your salary. The
     Company will consider at least once each calendar year to increase this
     amount to take into account indexation and the rising cost of premiums. Any
     agreement to increase the Company's contribution to your private premiums
     will be set out in writing.

     If the Company sets up a Company life assurance scheme in the future, you
     will be given the choice as to whether to remain with your private scheme
     or transfer to the Company scheme. If you transfer to the Company scheme
     you agree that the Company may cease reimbursing you for any costs
     associated with your current life assurance premiums. Your participation in
     the Company scheme is subject to your meeting any conditions of


                                        4

<PAGE>

     eligibility (including medical examinations to the satisfaction of the
     relevant insurers and producing and completing any relevant paperwork) you
     will be covered free of charge by the Company's life assurance scheme
     subject to the rules of the scheme which may vary from time to time.

10.5 PERMANENT/DISABILITY HEALTH INSURANCE: The Company does not currently
     operate a permanent/disability health insurance scheme (the "Scheme"). The
     Company shall, however, reimburse you for up to a maximum of L195 per
     month, with respect to the costs associated with your current private
     Scheme. The Company will consider at least once each calendar year to
     increase this amount to take into account indexation and the rising cost of
     premiums. Any agreement to increase the Company's contributions to your
     private premiums will be set out in writing.

     If the Company sets up such a Scheme in the future, you will be given the
     choice as to whether you continue on your existing private scheme or
     transfer to the Company Scheme. If you transfer to the Company Scheme, you
     agree that the Company will cease reimbursing you for your current private
     premiums and you agree to abide by the terms of the Scheme, which may vary
     from time to time.

10.6 SHARE OPTIONS: The Company will grant to you options as detailed in the
     options offer letter dated 9 September 2004, subject to the rules of the
     Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. 2001 Stock Plan (the "Plan") which may be
     varied, amended or supplemented from time to time.

     If on termination of this Agreement whether lawfully or in breach of
     contract, you lose any of the rights or benefits under the Plan or in
     relation to any options you held immediately prior to such termination of
     this Agreement ("Other Options") which you would not have lost had the
     Agreement not been terminated (for example, you are not employed as at a
     vesting date and therefore such options which would have vested on that
     date lapse) you shall not be entitled by way of damages, to be compensated
     for the loss of rights or benefits under the Plan or in respect of any
     Other Options.

     You agree that if the Company so requires you will either (at the Company's
     discretion):

          (i) complete and execute an irrevocable agreement (in such form as
          determined by the Company from time to time) under which you will
          indemnify the Company and any Group Company, against the whole of any
          employer's national insurance contributions arising in respect of any
          gains which are treated as remuneration derived from your employment
          by virtue of Section 4(4)(a) Social Security Contributions and
          Benefits Act 1992 ("Share Option Gains"); or

          (ii) enter into a joint election with the Company or any Group Company
          (in such form as decided by the Company from time to time) for the
          whole of any liability for employer's National Insurance contributions
          arising in respect of any Share Option Gains to be transferred to you,

     within 21 days of the Company's written request for you to do so.


                                        5

<PAGE>

10.7 In relation to clauses 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 above, if a sum payable by the
     Company under these clauses by way of a reimbursement of the cost of your
     private insurance premiums shall be subject to a UK income tax liability,
     the Company shall pay to you an additional sum representing up to 100/60 x
     40% of the amount set out in clauses 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 respectively. For
     the avoidance of doubt, you will not be entitled to such sums if you decide
     to join a Company plan or scheme as detailed in clauses 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5
     above and on your joining such a Company plan or scheme such reimbursements
     will cease.

11.  HOURS OF WORK

Your normal office hours are 9.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday, however, you
agree to work such additional hours without overtime or additional remuneration
as may be necessary for the proper and efficient performance of your duties. You
agree that the limit on average weekly working time set out in Regulation 4(1)
of the Working Time Regulations 1998 will not apply to you, although you may
withdraw your consent on giving the Company three months prior written notice.

12.  HOLIDAYS

12.1 The Company's holiday year runs from 1 January to 31 December.

12.2 You will be entitled to 30 days' paid holiday leave in each holiday year in
     addition to English public holidays.

12.3 You may carry forward 5 days untaken holiday to a subsequent holiday year.
     In the holiday year in which your employment terminates, however, any
     holiday carried over from the previous year will be automatically
     terminated.

12.4 All holiday must be taken at times agreed at least one month in advance
     with the CEO having regard to the needs of the Company (or any relevant
     Group Company's business). For the avoidance of doubt Regulations 15(1) to
     15(4) of the Working Time Regulations 1998 (dealing with dates when leave
     is taken) will not apply to your employment.

12.5 For the holiday year during which your employment commences or terminates,
     your holiday entitlement will be calculated on a pro rata basis.

12.6 On the termination of your employment with the Company, the Company may at
     its discretion:

     (a)  pay you in lieu of some or all of your accrued holiday, save that if
          you are dismissed for gross misconduct, the Company shall be under no
          obligation to pay you holiday pay in respect of accrued but untaken
          holiday in excess of any minimum holiday entitlement required by law
          for the year in question. Any holiday pay will be paid less applicable
          tax, national insurance contributions and other deductions required by
          law; or


                                        6

<PAGE>

     (b)  deduct from your final salary payment (or in the event that this is
          insufficient) require you to pay to the Company an amount representing
          salary paid during holiday taken but not accrued by the date of
          termination of your employment.

     (c)  require you to take some or all of any holiday entitlement during your
          notice period (if you are dismissed with notice in accordance with
          clause 6 of this agreement), which will have accrued to you by the
          date of termination of your employment, which you have not yet taken.

13.  DEDUCTIONS FROM WAGES

Without prejudice to any other rights open to the Company, you agree that the
Company may deduct from any wages due to you, (including Company sick pay) sums
representing; the amount of any outstanding loans or advances made to you by the
Company; any other sums owing from you to the Company; any overpayment of salary
or expenses or payment made to you by mistake or through misrepresentation; and
any other sums authorised to be deducted by Section 13 of the Employment Rights
Act 1996. If you are unable to work due to accident or injury caused by a third
party and the Company continues to pay your salary and/or sick pay during your
absence and you recover damages from the third party, then the Company may
deduct (or you may be required to repay as the case may be) from your wages an
amount equal to any salary or sick pay paid to you by the Company during your
absence. Any repayment or deduction in these circumstances will be capped at the
amount of damages you recover from the third party in respect of the accident or
injury concerned.

14.  DATA PROTECTION

You consent to the Company holding and processing both personal data and
sensitive personal data (the latter includes your religious beliefs, your ethnic
or racial origin and information relating to any physical disability), for all
purposes relating to your employment. In particular you agree that the Company
can hold and process personal and sensitive personal data to pay and review your
remuneration and other benefits, provide and administer any such benefits,
provide information to the Inland Revenue (or other taxation authorities), the
police, other regulatory bodies, the Company's legal advisers and potential
purchasers of the Company or any business area in which you work, administer and
maintain personnel records (including sickness and other absence records), carry
out performance reviews, give references to future employers, and transfer
personal and sensitive personal data concerning you to the HR department of the
Parent Company.

15.  SICKNESS OR INJURY

15.1 The Company will pay you your normal salary for up to 12 weeks' absence due
     to sickness of injury in any period of twelve months, whether consecutive
     or not. Thereafter any Company sick pay is entirely at the discretion of
     the Board.

15.2 Company sick pay shall include any statutory sick pay payable to you under
     the then prevailing rules of the statutory sick pay scheme. The Company may
     deduct from Company sick pay an amount or amounts equal to any state
     sickness benefit to which you


                                        7

<PAGE>

     are entitled or any payments made to you or for which you are eligible
     under any health insurance arrangement, effected from time to time by the
     Company on your behalf.

15.3 The Company reserves the right to require you to undergo a medical
     examination by the Company's doctor or, an independent medical practitioner
     and you agree that the doctor or independent medical practitioner may
     disclose to the Company the results of the examination and discuss with the
     Company and its professional advisers any matters arising from the
     examination as might impair you from properly discharging your duties. You
     also authorise your own doctor to provide the Company's doctor and/or
     independent medical practitioner with any relevant extracts from your
     medical notes. This clause is without prejudice to your statutory rights,
     (including your rights under the Access to Medical Reports Act 1988.

16.  CONFIDENTIALITY

16.1 During the course of your employment you will have access to and become
     aware of information, which is confidential to the Company. You undertake
     that you will not, save in the proper performance of your duties, make use
     of, or disclose to any person, (including for the avoidance of doubt any
     competitors of the Company), any of the trade secrets or other confidential
     information of or relating to the Company, or any user of the Company's
     services or any company, organisation or business with which the Company is
     involved in any kind of business venture or partnership, or any other
     information concerning the business of the Company which you may have
     received or obtained in confidence while in the service of the Company. You
     will likewise use your best endeavours to prevent the unauthorised
     publication or disclosure of any such trade secrets or confidential
     information.

16.2 This restriction shall continue to apply after the termination of your
     employment without limit in point of time but both during your employment
     and after its termination, shall cease to apply to information ordered to
     be disclosed by a Court or Tribunal of competent jurisdiction or otherwise
     required to be disclosed by law, or to information which becomes available
     to the public generally (other than by reason of your breaching this
     clause) without requiring a significant expenditure of labour skill or

          Company; or

     director of the Company or any Group Company should you fail to resign

     22.1. A written notification signed by a director of the Company that any
     instrument, document or act falls within the authority conferred by this
     clause will be conclusive evidence that it does so.

22.3 Your employment shall terminate automatically and with immediate effect
     upon your ceasing to be a director of the Company, but other than under
     clause 21.1 (F), without prejudice to any rights you may have to damages or

          date your employment terminates and with whom you had dealings in the
          last 12 months of your employment with the Company. This restriction

          concerned; and

     (d)  employ or engage or offer to employ or engage any person employed or

          consultant, director or employee concerned.

23.2 You agree that you will not, without the written permission of the Board,

     you are involved in the last 12 months of your employment under this
     Agreement.

23.3 Each of the sub-clauses contained in clause 23 constitutes an entirely
     separate and independent covenant. If any restriction is held to be invalid
     or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is intended and
     understood by the parties that such invalidity or unenforceability will not
     affect the remaining restrictions or the validity of the rest of


                                       13

<PAGE>

     the Agreement and that if any such restriction would be valid if some part

     modification as may be necessary to make them effective.

     of any of the above, you will prior to acceptance of an offer, provide the

     notice period, the restrictions on your use and disclosure of confidential
     information and the clauses dealing with intellectual property, inventions
     and moral rights.

23.5 You acknowledge that:

     (a)  each of the restrictions in clause 23 goes no further than is
          necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company
          and any Group Company; and

     (b)  the Company is entering into this Agreement not only for itself but
          also as trustee for each Group Company and with the intention that the
          Company and/or any Group Company will be entitled to seek the
          protection of and enforce each of its restrictions directly against
          you. If requested to do so by the Company however, you will at any
          time enter into like restrictions as those contained in this clause 23
          with any other Group Company.

     and interests set out in clause 3 above.

23.7 Following the date your employment terminates, you will not:

          any name, trade mark, service mark, style, logo, get-up or image which
          is or has been used by the Company or any Group Company, or which in
          the reasonable opinion of the Board, is calculated to cause confusion
          with such a name, trade mark, service mark, style, logo, get-up or
          image or infer a connection with the Company or any Group Company.

24.  DISCIPLINARY AND GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
