Eurotech, Ltd, a District of Columbia corporation, hereby certifies that, for
value received, Broms Holdings LLC or its registered assigns (the "Holder"), is
entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company up
to a total of 1,300,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $
...00025 per share (the "Shares"). This Stock Option Grant (the "Grant") is
subject to the following terms and conditions:

1.       EXERCISE PRICE. Each of the Shares to which the Holder is entitled to
         purchase under this Grant may be purchased by the Holder at a price
         (the "Exercise Price") equal to closing price of the shares of the
         common stock of the Company on the American Stock Exchange, as quoted
         in the Wall Street Journal, as of the date of this Grant (as set forth
         in the cover page hereto).

2.       TERM. The right of the Holder to purchase the Shares under this Grant
         shall terminate on February 28, 2012 (the "Expiration Date").

3.       VESTING. Of the 1,300,000 shares of common stock of the Company that
         the Holder is entitled to purchase hereunder, the Holder shall have the
         right to purchase 675,000 of such shares immediately upon the date of
         this Grant. Commencing on March 1, 2002 and every month thereafter for
         a period of 24 months, the Holder shall have the right to purchase (and
         such option shall vest) an additional amount of shares equal to 1/25th
         of the remaining 625,000 shares of common stock of the Company
         (which1/25th, in the case that the Employee is employed by the Company
         for any partial month, shall be multiplied by the ratio of the number
         of days that the Employee was employed by the Company in such month
         over the total number of days in such month), provided that none of
         such remaining 625,000 option shares may be purchased by the Holder
         until the filing of all necessary amendments to the Articles of
         Incorporation of the Company following a special meeting of the
         Company's shareholders to authorize an increase in the number of
         authorized shares of Common Stock to at least 130,000,000 shares.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employment Agreement entered into
         the Company and Todd Broms on February 28, 2002 (the "Employment
         Agreement") is terminated by the Company without "cause" (as such term
         is defined in the Employment Agreement) or by Todd Broms under Sections
         4 or 5 of the Employment Agreement, or if Todd Broms dies or is unable
         to perform his duties of Chief Executive Officer and President, and
         Chairman, if applicable, (as certified by two independent physicians),
         the Holder of this Grant shall have the right to purchase (and such
         option shall vest) all of the remaining 625,000 shares of common stock
         of the Company immediately upon the date of such termination, death or
         disability, but only if the authorized shares of the Common Stock of
         the Company has been increased to at least 130,000,000 shares prior to
         the date of such termination, death or disability. If Todd Broms is
         terminated by the Company from employment with the Company with
         "cause", the Holder shall not have the right to purchase (and such
         option shall vest) any of the remaining 625,000 shares of common stock
         of the Company other than those which the Holder had a right to
         purchase prior to the date of termination.

         records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the name of
         the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and
         treat the registered Holder of this Grant as the absolute owner hereof
         for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the
         Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be
         affected by notice to the contrary.

5.       REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES.

         (a) The Holder may transfer al or a portion of his rights hereunder to

times by the Holder. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of
this Grant in the records of the Company, upon surrender of this Grant, with the
Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the transfer
agent of the Company or to the Company. Upon any such registration or transfer,
a new grant to purchase the Shares, in substantially the form of this Grant (the
"New Grant"), evidencing the portion of this Grant so transferred, shall be
issued to the transferee and a New Grant evidencing the remaining portion of
this Grant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring
Holder. The acceptance of the New Grant by the transferee thereof shall be
deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of
a holder of this Grant.

to the office of the Company for one or more New Grants, evidencing in the
aggregate the right to purchase the number of Shares that may then be purchased
hereunder. Any such New Grant will be dated the date of such exchange.

promptly (but in no event later than 3 business days after the Date of Exercise
(as defined herein)) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or
upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may

                                       3
<PAGE>

designate, a certificate representing the Shares issuable upon such exercise,
free of restrictive legends except in the event that both a registration
statement covering the resale of the Shares and naming the Holder as a selling
stockholder thereunder (a "Registration Statement") is not then effective and
the Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to
Rule 144(k) promulgated under tile Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). Any person so designated by the Holder to receive Shares
shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Shares as of the Date of
Exercise of this Grant. A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the Company
shall have received (i) this Grant (or any New Grant, as applicable), with the
Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Grant)
appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price
for the number of Shares so indicated by the holder hereof to be purchased.

7.       PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS. During the term of this Grant, the
         Company may not file any registration statement with the Securities and
         Exchange Commission (other than registration statements of the Company
         filed on Form S-8 or Form S-4, each as promulgated under the Securities
         Act, pursuant to which the Company is registering securities pursuant
         to a Company employee benefit plan or pursuant to a merger, acquisition
         or similar transaction including supplements thereto, but not
         additionally filed registration statements in respect of such
         securities) at any time when there is not an effective Registration
         Statement, unless the Company provides the Holder with not less than 20
         days notice to the Holder notice of its intention to file such
         registration statement and provides the Holder the option to include
         any or all of the applicable Shares therein. The piggyback registration
         rights granted to the Holder pursuant to this Section 7 shall continue
         until all of the Holder's Shares have been sold in accordance with an
         effective registration statement or upon the Expiration Date. The
         Company will pay all registration expenses in connection therewith.

8.       DEMAND REGISTRATION RIGHTS. At any time during the term of this Grant,
         when the Shares are not registered pursuant to an effective
         Registration Statement, the Holder may make a written request for the
         registration under the Securities Act (a "Demand Registration"), of all
         of the Shares (the "Registrable Securities"), and the Company shall use
         its best efforts to effect such Demand Registration as promptly as
         possible, but in any case within 90 days thereafter. Any request for a
         Demand Registration shall specify the aggregate number of Registrable
         Securities proposed to be sold and shall also specify the intended
         method of disposition thereof. The right to cause a registration of the
         Registrable Securities under this Section 8 shall be limited to one
         such registration. In any registration initiated as a Demand
         Registration, the Company will pay all of its registration expenses in
         connection therewith. A Demand Registration shall not be counted as
         Demand Registration hereunder until the registration statement filed
         pursuant to the Demand Registration has been declared effective by the
         Securities and Exchange Commission and maintained continuously
         effective for a period of at least 360 days or such shorter period when

                                       4
<PAGE>

         all Registrable Securities included therein have been sold in
         accordance with such registration statement, provided, however that any
         days on which such registration statement is not effective or on which
         the Holder is not permitted by the Company or any governmental
         authority to sell Shares under such registration statement shall not
         count towards such 360 day period.

9.       PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes
         attributable to the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of this Grant;
         provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
         tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
         registration of any certificates for Shares or New Grants in a name
         other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all
         other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or
         transferring this Grant or receiving Shares upon exercise hereof.

10.      REPLACEMENT OF GRANT. If this Grant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
         destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
         and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and
         substitution for this Grant, a New Grant, but only upon receipt of
         evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or
         destruction and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to it. Applicants
         for a New Grant under such circumstances shall also comply with such
         other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other
         reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.

11.      RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company covenants that it will at all times
         reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
         unissued shares of common stock of the Company, solely for the purpose
         of enabling it to issue Shares upon exercise of this Grant as herein
         provided, the number of Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
         upon the exercise of this entire Grant, free from preemptive rights or
         any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the
         Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section
         12). The Company covenants that all Shares that shall be so issuable
         and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable
         Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, are duly and
         validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

12.      CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. The number of Shares issuable upon exercise of
         this Grant is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in
         this Section 12.

         (a) If the Company, at any time while this Grant is outstanding, (i)
shall pay a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on outstanding
preferred stock as of the date hereof which contain a stated dividend rate) or
otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its common stock or
on any other class of capital stock payable in shares of common stock of the
Company, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of common stock into a larger number
of shares, or (iii) combine outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller
number of shares, then the number of Shares for which this Grant may be
exercised will be ratably adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section

                                       5
<PAGE>

12 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision or combination, and shall apply to successive subdivisions and
combinations.

         (b) In case of any reclassification of the shares of the common stock
of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
person, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the shares of common
stock of the Company is converted into other securities, cash or property, then
the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Grant only into the
shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to
be held by holders of shares of common stock of the Company following such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, and
the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of
securities or property equal to the amount of Shares such Holder would have been
entitled to had such Holder exercised this Grant immediately prior to such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. The
terms of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall
include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive
the securities or property set forth in this Section 12(b) upon any exercise
following any such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
share exchange.

         (c) For the purposes of this Section 12, the following clauses shall
also be applicable:

                  (i) RECORD DATE. In case the Company shall take a record of
         the holders of its shares of common stock for the purpose of entitling
         them (a) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares
         of the common stock of the Company or in securities convertible or
         exchangeable into shares of common stock of the Company, or (b) to
         subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock of the Company or
         securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of common stock of
         the Company, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of
         the issue or sale of the shares of common stock of the Company deemed
         to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or
         the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of
         such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

                  (ii) TREASURY SHARES. The number of shares of common stock of
         the Company outstanding at any given time shall not include shares
         owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition
         of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of shares of
         the common stock of the Company.

         (d) All calculations under this Section 12 shall be made to the nearest
cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

                                       6
<PAGE>

(f)      If:

                  (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
         distribution) on its shares of common stock; or

                  (ii) the Company shall declare a special non-recurring cash
         dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or

                  (iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders
         of shares of the common stock of the Company rights or warrants to
         subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or
         of any rights; or

                  (iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be
         required in connection with any reclassification of the shares of
         common stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger to which the
         Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
         the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the
         shares of the common stock is converted into other securities, cash or
         property; or

                  (v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary dissolution,
         liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,

then the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at their last addresses
as they shall appear upon the records of the Company, at least 30 calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of shares of the common stock of the
Company of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption,
rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is
expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected
that holders of shares of the common stock of the Company of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of common stock of the Company for securities,
cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or
in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action
required to be specified in such notice.

13.      PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one
         of the following manners:

         (a)      CASH EXERCISE. The Holder shall deliver immediately available
                  funds; or
         (b)      CASHLESS EXERCISE. The Holder shall surrender this Grant to
                  the Company together with a notice of cashless exercise, in
                  which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number
                  of Shares determined as follows:

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  X= Y - [(Y*A)/B], where:

                  X= the actual number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.

                  Y= the number of Shares with respect to which this Grant is
                  being exercised.

                  A= the Exercise Price.

                  B= the closing sale price of shares of the common stock of the
                  Company on the American Stock Exchange on the Date of
                  Exercise, as reported in the Wall Street Journal.

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that the Shares issued in a cashless exercise
transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding
period for the Shares shall be deemed to have been commenced, on the issue date.

14.      FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause
         to be issued fractional Shares on the exercise of this Grant. The
         number of full Shares that shall be issuable upon the exercise of this
         Grant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Shares
         purchasable on exercise of this Grant so presented. If any fraction of
         a Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 11, be
         issuable on the exercise of this Grant, the Company shall pay an amount
         in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

15.      REPLACEMENT OPTION GRANT. At any time prior to the Expiration Date,
         upon the written request of the Employee, the Company shall deliver to
         the Employee a replacement Stock Option Grant containing the identical
         terms hereof, except that such replacement Stock Option Grant shall set
         forth the portion of the Grant that then remains unexercised.

         hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective

         consolidation to which the Company or any new transfer agent shall be a
