      1. Purpose.

      

      The
Purpose of the POWER OIL & GAS INC. 2007 Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) is to provide
to key employees, officers, directors, consultants and agents of Power Oil &
Gas Inc. (the “Corporation”), or any
of its subsidiaries, added incentive for high levels of performance and to
reward unusual efforts which increase the earnings and long-term growth of the
Corporation.  It is intended to accomplish the foregoing by providing
for the grant of Stock Options to qualified eligible
individuals.  Except where the context otherwise requires, the term
“Corporation” shall include Power Oil & Gas Inc., a Canadian corporation,
and all present and future subsidiaries of the Corporation.

      The
determination of the Option Committee with respect to whether a termination for
Cause has occurred shall be submitted to the Board of Directors, whose decision
shall be final and conclusive.

      

      (c)             “Change of Control”
shall mean (i) an acquisition of any voting securities of the Corporation (the
“Voting
Securities”) by any “Person” (as the term person is used for purposes of
Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act), immediately after which such Person
has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under
the Exchange Act) of forty percent (40%) or more of the then outstanding shares
or the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding Voting
Securities; (ii) the individuals who, as of the Effective Date are members of
the Board (the “Incumbent Board”),
cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds of the members of the
Board; provided,
however, that if the election, or nomination of the members of the
Corporation’s common stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of
at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for
purposes of this Plan, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; (iii)
the consummation of a merger, consolidation or reorganization with or into the
Corporation or in which securities of the Corporation are issued unless such
merger, consolidation or reorganization is a “Non-Control Transaction”; (iv) a
complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation; or (v) the sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any
Person (other than a transfer to a Subsidiary or the distribution to the
Corporation’s stockholders of the stock of a Subsidiary or any other
assets).

      

      Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because
any Person (the “Subject Person”)
acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then
outstanding Shares or Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Shares
or Voting Securities by the Corporation which, by reducing the number of Shares
or Voting Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of
shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Persons, provided that if a Change in
Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the
acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Corporation, and after such
share acquisition by the Corporation, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial
Owner of any additional Shares or Voting Securities which increases the
percentage of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities Beneficially
Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur.

      

      (d)             “Disability” shall
mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of
any medically determined physical or mental impairment which can be expected to
result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous
period of not less than twelve (12) months as determined by the Option Committee
in their sole discretion.

      

      (e)             “Effective Date” shall
mean the date on which the Plan is approved by a majority of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote
thereon.

      

      (f)             “Exchange Act” shall
mean the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (g)             “Fair Market Value per
Share” shall mean as of any date the fair market value of each of the
Shares on such date (the “applicable date”) as determined by the Option
Committee in good faith.  The Option Committee is authorized to make
its determination as to the fair market value on the following basis: (i) if the
Shares are not traded on a securities exchange and are not quoted on the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.’s Automated Quotation System
(“NASDAQ”), but are quoted on the Over The Counter Electronic Bulletin Board
operated by NASDAQ, “Fair Market Value per Share” shall be the mean between the
average daily bid and average daily asked prices of the Shares on the applicable
date, as published on such bulletin board; (ii) if the Shares are not traded on
a securities exchange and are quoted on NASDAQ, “Fair Market Value per Share”
shall be the closing transaction price of the Shares on the applicable date, as
reported on NASDAQ; (iii) if the Shares are traded on a securities exchange,
“Fair Market Value per Share” shall be the daily closing price of the Shares, on
such securities exchange as of the applicable date; or (iv) if the Shares are
traded other than as described in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, or if the Shares are
not publicly traded, “Fair Market Value per Share” shall be the value determined
by the Option Committee in good faith based upon the fair market value as
determined by completely independent and well qualified experts.  In
the case of Shares described in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, if no prices are
reported for the Shares on the applicable date, the “Fair Market Value per
Share” shall be the price reported for such Shares on the next preceding date on
which there were reported prices.

      

      (h) “Granting Date” shall
mean the date on which the grant of an Option is made effective by the Option
Committee.

      

      (i)             “Non-Control
Transaction” shall mean a merger, consolidation or reorganization with or
into the Corporation or in which securities of the Corporation are issued

      percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
      securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation
      or reorganization (the “Surviving

      ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such merger,

                (b)

              	
                the
      individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior to
      the execution of the agreement providing for such merger, consolidation or
      reorganization constitute at least two-thirds of the members of the board
      of directors of the Surviving Corporation, or a corporation beneficially
      directly or indirectly owning a majority of the Voting Securities of the
      Surviving Corporation, and

eligible to receive grants of Stock Options.  Within the foregoing
limits, the Option Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall, from
time to time, determine (i) the individuals or the class of individuals to whom
Options may be granted hereunder, (ii) the number of Shares to be covered by
each of the Options granted hereunder, (iii) the purchase price of the Shares
and the method of payment for such Shares, (iv) the terms and provisions of the
respective Option Agreement and (v) the times at which such Options shall be
granted.  The Option Committee shall take into account such factors as
it shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purpose of the Plan
as set forth in Section 1 hereof.  All such determinations and
designations of individuals eligible to receive Options under the Plan shall be
made in the absolute discretion of the Option Committee and shall not require
the approval of the stockholders, except as expressly set forth
herein.

      

      (b)   Additional
Options.  An individual who has been granted an Option may be
granted additional Options if the Option Committee shall so
determine.  In addition, new Options may be granted in substitution
for Options previously granted under this Plan or another plan of the
Corporation or under the plan of another corporation assumed by the
Corporation.

      

        (c)   Option
Agreement.  Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be

the Optionee which shall contain such terms and provisions, including, but not
limited to, the period of exercise, whether in installments or otherwise, the
exercise price and such other terms and conditions as the Option Committee
shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate and within the
contemplation of the Plan.  The terms and conditions of such written
Option Agreement need not be the same for all Options granted under the
Plan.

      

      5.           Administration
of Plan.

      

      (a)       Option
Committee.  This Plan shall be administered by the Option
Committee, subject to the approval and ratification by the Board of
Directors.  Any action of the Option Committee with respect to
administration of the Plan shall be taken pursuant to (i) a majority vote at a
meeting of the Option Committee (to be documented by minutes), or (ii) the
unanimous written consent of its members.  The Option Committee may
meet in person, by telephone, or by any other means which it deems to be
advisable and convenient.  All actions taken by the Option Committee
shall be submitted to the Board of Directors for ratification and approval. In
the absence of an Option Committee, this Plan shall be administered by the Board
of Directors.

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      (b)      Vacancies.  Vacancies
in the Option Committee shall be filled by the Board of Directors.  In
addition, the Board of Directors may at any time remove one or more members of
the Option Committee and substitute others, and a majority of disinterested
members of the Board of Directors shall at all times have the right to exercise
any and all rights and powers of the Option Committee.

      

      (c)     Authority.  The
Option Committee shall have the authority, exercisable in its discretion,
subject to express provisions of this Plan and subject to the approval and
ratification by the Board of Directors, to: (i) construe and interpret the
provisions of the Plan, decide all questions and settle all controversies and
disputes which may arise in connection with the Plan; (ii) prescribe, amend and
rescind rules and regulations relating to the administration of the Plan; (iii)
determine the exercise price of the Shares covered by each Option granted
hereunder and the method of payment for such Shares, the individuals to whom,
and the time or times at which, any Option granted hereunder shall be granted
and exercisable, the number of Shares covered by each Option granted hereunder,
(iv) determine the terms and provisions of the respective Option Agreements
(which need not be identical); (v) determine the duration and purposes of leaves
of absence which may be granted to eligible individuals without constituting a
termination of their employment for purposes of the Plan; and (vi) make all
other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the
Plan.  Determinations of the Option Committee on matters referred to
in this Section shall be conclusive and binding on all parties howsoever
concerned.  No member of the Option Committee shall be liable for any
action, omission or determination made in good faith in connection with the
Plan.

      

      6. Exercise
Price.

      

      The
exercise price of each Stock Option shall be determined by the Option Committee,

percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Granting Date of the
Stock Option.

      

      7. Period of Exercise and
Certain Limitations on Right to Exercise.

      

      (a)           Period of
Exercise.  Each Option granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable at such times and under such conditions as may be determined by the
Option Committee at the Granting Date and as shall be set forth in the Option
Agreement; provided, however, in no event shall an Option be exercisable after
the expiration of ten (10) years from its Granting Date.

      

      (b)           Change of
Control.  Unless otherwise provided in any Option Agreement,
all Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall become fully and immediately
exercisable with respect to all Shares subject thereto, upon a Change of
Control.

      

      (c
)           Effect of Termination of
Employment or Other Relationship.  The effect of the
termination of an Optionee’s employment or other relationship with the
Corporation on such Optionee’s eligibility to exercise any Options awarded
pursuant to the Plan shall be as follows:

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      
        	
                                                               
      (i)  

              	
                Disability or
      Death.  If an Optionee ceases to be employed by, or
      ceases to have a relationship with, the Corporation by reason of
      Disability or death, any Option heretofore granted which remains
      unexercised at the time of termination shall become fully vested and
      exercisable and shall expire not later than one (1) year
      thereafter.  During such one (1) year period and prior to the
      expiration of the Option by its terms, the Optionee, or his or her
      executor or administrator or the person or persons to whom the Option is
      transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution,
      may exercise such Option, and except as so exercised, such Option shall
      expire at the end of one (1) year period unless such Option by its terms
      expires before such date.  The decision as to whether a
      termination by reason of Disability has occurred shall be made by the
      Option Committee, whose decision shall be final and
      conclusive.

              

      

      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (ii)

              	
                Retirement.  If
      the Optionee ceases to be employed by, or ceases to have a relationship
      with the Corporation by reason of Retirement, any Option heretofore
      granted which remains unexercised at the time of such Retirement shall
      become fully vested and exercisable and shall expire not later than three
      (3) months thereafter.  During such period and prior to the
      expiration of the Option by its terms, such Option may be exercised by the
      Optionee, and except as so exercised, shall expire at the end of such
      relevant period unless such Option by its terms expires before such
      date.  The decision as to whether a termination is by reason of
      Retirement shall be made by the Option Committee, whose decision shall be
      final and conclusive.

              

      

      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (iii)

              	
                Voluntary Termination
      or Termination by the Corporation.  If an Optionee’s
      employment by, or relationship with, the Corporation is terminated
      voluntarily or, by the Corporation, whether such termination is for Cause
      or for no reason whatsoever, any Option heretofore granted which remains
      unexercised at the time of such termination shall expire immediately,
      provided, however, that the Option Committee may, in its sole and absolute
      discretion, within thirty (30) days of such termination, waive the
      expiration of any Option awarded under the Plan, by giving written notice
      of such waiver to the Optionee at such Optionee’s last known
      address.  In the event of such waiver, the Optionee may exercise
      any such Options only to such extent, for such time, and upon such terms
      and conditions set forth in subparagraph (i) above.  The
      determination as to whether a termination is voluntary or for Cause shall
      be made by the Option Committee, whose decision shall be final and
      conclusive.

              

      

      

      (d)           Shares held for
Investment.  The Option Committee may, if it or counsel for the
Corporation shall deem it necessary or desirable for any reason, require as a
condition of exercise, that the Optionee or any other person entitled to
exercise an Option hereunder, represent in writing to the Corporation at the
time of exercise of such Option that it is their intention to acquire the Shares
as to which the Option is being exercised for investment purposes and not with a
view to the sale or distribution thereof.

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      (e)           Transferability.  Options
granted under the Plan to an Optionee shall not be transferable other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Options shall be
exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by him or his legal guardian
or legal representative.  A transfer of an Option by will or the laws
of descent and distribution shall not be effective unless the Option Committee
shall have been furnished with such evidence as it may deem necessary to
establish the validity of the transfer.

      

      

      8.           Payment
of Exercise Price and Cancellation of Options.

      

      (a)           Notice of
Exercise.  An Option granted under the Plan shall be exercised
by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation (or such other
person designated by the Option Committee) of the Optionee’s intention to
exercise one or more Options hereunder and by delivering payment of the exercise
price therewith, which shall be paid in full at the time of such
exercise.

      

      (b)           Method of
Settlement.  The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option, shall consist of cash or, with the approval
of the Option Committee (which may be withheld in its sole discretion), Shares
having a fair market value on the date of exercise, as determined by the Option
Committee, at least equal to the exercise price or a combination of cash and
Shares or, with the approval of the Option Committee (which may be withheld in
its sole discretion) may also be effected wholly or partly by monies borrowed
from the Corporation pursuant to a promissory note, the terms and conditions of
which shall be determined from time to time by the Option Committee, in its
discretion, separately with respect to each exercise of Options and each
Optionee, or by such other method of payment as may be determined by the Option
Committee in its sole discretion; provided, that each
such method and time for payment and each such borrowing and terms and
conditions of repayment shall then be permitted by and be in compliance with
applicable law.  An Optionee may purchase less than the total number
of Shares for which an Option is then exercisable, provided, however, that any
partial exercise of an Option may not be less than for one hundred (100) Shares
and shall not include any fractional Shares.

       

      9.           Share
Adjustment.

      

      If the outstanding Shares of the class
then subject to this Plan are increased or decreased, or are changed into or
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities or other forms
of property (including cash) or rights, as a result of one or more
reorganizations, recapitalizations, spin-offs, stock splits, reverse stock
splits, stock dividends or the like, appropriate adjustments shall be made in
the number and/or kind of Shares or securities or other forms of property
(including cash) or rights for which Options may thereafter be granted under the
Plan and for which Options then outstanding under the Plan may thereafter be
exercised.  Any such Share adjustments shall be made without changing
the aggregate exercise price applicable to the unexercised portions of
outstanding Options.  Any fractional Shares resulting from such
adjustment shall be eliminated by rounding to the nearest whole
number.  Appropriate amendments to the Option Agreements shall be
executed by the Corporation and the Optionees to the extent the Option Committee
determines that such amendments are necessary or desirable to reflect such Share
adjustments.  If determined by the Option Committee to be appropriate,
in the event of any Share adjustment involving the substitution of securities of
a corporation other than the Corporation, the Option Committee shall make
arrangements for the assumption by such other corporation of any Options then or
thereafter outstanding under the Plan, without any change in the total exercise
price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Options but with an
appropriate adjustment to the number of securities, kind of securities and
exercise price for each of the securities subject to the Options.  The
determination by the Option Committee as to what adjustment, amendments
or

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      arrangements
shall be made pursuant to this Section 9 and the extent thereof, shall be final
and conclusive.

      

      In the
event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or a
proposed sale of substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or in the
event of any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another
corporation, or in the event of any corporate separation or division, including,
but not limited to, a split-up, split-off or spin-off, or other transaction in
which the outstanding Shares then subject to Options under the Plan are changed
into or exchanged for property (including cash), rights and/or securities other
than, or in addition to, shares of the Corporation, the Option Committee may
provide that the holder of each Option then exercisable shall have the right to
exercise such Option solely for the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities, property, cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such
dissolution, liquidation, sale, consolidation or merger, or similar corporate
event, by a holder of the number of Shares for which such Option might have been
exercised immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, sale,
consolidation or merger or similar corporate event; or, in the alternative, the
Option Committee may provide that each Option granted under the Plan shall
terminate as of a date to be fixed by the Board of Directors, provided, that no
less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of the date so fixed shall be
given to each Optionee who shall have the right, during such thirty (30) day
period preceding such termination, to exercise the Options as to all or any part
of the Shares covered thereby, including Shares as to which such Options would
not otherwise be exercisable.

      

      10.           Substitute
Options.

      

      The
Corporation may grant options under the Plan in substitution for options held by
employees of another corporation who become employees of the Corporation as the
result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the
Corporation, or as a result of the acquisition by the Corporation, of property
or stock of the employing corporation.  The Corporation may direct
that substitute options be granted on such terms and conditions as the Board of
Directors considers appropriate in the circumstances.

      

      11.           Other
Employee Benefits.

      

      

      Except as
to plans which by their terms include such amounts as compensation, the amount
of any compensation deemed to be received by an employee as a result of the
exercise of an option or the sale of Shares received upon such exercise shall
not constitute compensation for purposes of determining such employee’s benefits
under any other employee benefit plan or program in which the employee is a
participant at any time, including, without limitation, benefits under any
bonus, pension, profit-sharing, life insurance or salary continuation plan,
except as otherwise specifically determined by the Board of
Directors.

      

      12.           Terms and
Conditions of Options.

      

      (a)  Withholding of
Taxes.  As a condition to the exercise, in whole or in part, of
any Options, the Option Committee may in its sole discretion require the
Optionee to pay, in addition to the exercise price of the Shares covered by the
Options an amount equal to any Federal, provincial or local taxes that may be
required to be withheld in connection with the exercise of such
Options.  Alternatively, the Corporation may issue or transfer the
Shares pursuant to exercise of the Options net of the number of Shares
sufficient to satisfy the withholding tax requirements.  For
withholding tax purposes, the Shares shall be valued on the date the withholding
obligation is incurred.

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (b)  No Rights to Continued
Employment or Relationship.  Nothing contained in the Plan or
in any Option Agreement shall obligate the Corporation to continue to employ or
to continue any other relationship with any Optionee for any period or interfere
in any way with the right of the Corporation to reduce such Optionee’s
compensation or to terminate the Corporation’s employment or relationship with
any Optionee at any time.

      

      (c) Time of Granting
Options.  The Granting Date shall be the day the Corporation
executes the Option Agreement; provided, however, that if appropriate
resolutions of the Option Committee indicate that an Option is to be granted as
of and on some prior or future date, the Granting Date shall be such prior or
future date.

      

      (d)  Privileges of Stock
Ownership.  No Optionee shall be entitled to the privileges of
stock ownership as to any Shares not actually issued and delivered to such
Optionee.  No Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any Option
unless and until, in the opinion of the Corporation’s counsel, all applicable
laws, rules and regulations of any governmental or regulatory agencies and any
exchanges upon which stock of the Corporation may be listed, shall have been
fully complied with.

      

      (e)  Securities Laws
Compliance.  The Corporation will diligently comply with all
applicable securities laws before any Options are granted under the Plan and
before any Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of any
Options.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Corporation may require from the Optionee such investment representation or such
agreement, if any, as counsel for the Corporation may consider necessary or
advisable in order to comply with the Securities Act as then in effect, and may
require that the Optionee agree that any sale of the Shares will be made only in
such manner as is permitted by the Option Committee.  The Option
Committee in its discretion may cause the Options and Shares underlying such
Options to be registered under the Securities Act by the filing of a
Registration Statement covering the Options and Shares.  The Optionee
shall take any action reasonably requested by the Corporation in connection with
registration or qualification of the Shares under federal and state securities
laws.

      

      (f)  Option
Agreement.  Each Stock Option granted under this Plan shall be
evidenced by a written Option Agreement executed by the Corporation and the
Optionee containing such terms and conditions as are deemed desirable by the
Option Committee and are not inconsistent with the purpose of the Plan as set
forth in Section 1.

      

      13.  Restricted
Shares.

      

      (a)           In
General.  The Option Committee may, in its discretion, issue
restricted Shares upon the exercise of any Options granted under the
Plan.  Such restricted Shares shall be subject to such vesting
requirements and restrictions on transferability as may be determined by the
Option Committee.

      

      (b)           Legend.  All
stock certificates issued with respect to restricted Shares shall bear an
appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions
applicable to such Shares.

      

      (c)  Rights Appurtenant to
Restricted Shares.  The issuance of restricted Shares shall not
affect the rights of the Optionee as a stockholder of the Corporation including,
but not limited to the right to receive dividends on and to vote with respect to
such restricted Shares, except that additional shares issued with respect to
restricted Shares including, but not limited to, stock dividends or stock splits
or any securities issued in exchange for restricted Shares shall be subject to
the same restrictions as are applicable to the restricted Shares.

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                14.

              	
                Plan
      Amendment and Termination.

              

      

      

      (a)           Authority of Option
Committee.  In addition to the authority of the Option
Committee set forth in Section 5, the Option Committee may at any time
discontinue granting Options under the Plan or otherwise suspend, amend or
terminate the Plan and may, with the consent of an Optionee, make such
modification of the terms and conditions of Options theretofore granted as it
shall deem advisable.  Any amendment or modification made pursuant to
the provisions of this Section shall be effective immediately upon adoption,
unless otherwise provided therein, subject to approval thereof (i) within twelve
(12) months before or after the effective date of such amendment or modification
by stockholders of the Corporation holding not less than a majority vote of the
voting power of the Corporation voting in person or by proxy at a duly held
stockholders meeting, (ii) by any appropriate governmental agency if required,
or (iii) by a securities exchange or automated quotation system if
required.  No Option may be granted during any suspension or after
termination of the Plan.

      

      (b)           Effect on Options
Granted.  Any amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan
shall not, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or
obligations under any Option theretofore granted.

      

      15.           Effective
Date of Plan.

      

      The Plan
shall be effective upon the approval of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation (the ”Effective
Date”).

      

      16.           Miscellaneous
Provisions.

      

      (a)           Exculpation and
Indemnification.  The Corporation shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Option Committee from and against any and all liabilities, costs
and expenses incurred by such persons as a result of any act, or omission to
act, in connection with the performance of such persons’ duties,
responsibilities and obligations under the Plan, other than such liabilities,
costs and expenses as may result from gross negligence, bad faith, willful
conduct and/or criminal acts of such persons.

      

      (c)           Use of
Proceeds.  The proceeds from the exercise of Shares granted
under the Plan shall constitute and be considered as general funds of the
Corporation which may be used for any and all corporate purposes as determined
by the Board of Directors.

      

      (d)           Compliance with Applicable
Laws.  The inability of the Corporation to obtain from any
regulatory body having jurisdiction, the authority deemed by the Corporation’s
counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares upon the
exercise of an Option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability in respect
of the non-issuance or sale of such Shares as to which requisite authority shall
not have been obtained.

      

      (e)           Non-Uniform
Determinations.  The Option Committee’s determination under the
Plan (including without limitation determinations of the persons to receive
Options, the form, amount and timing of such Options, the terms and provisions
of such Options and the Option Agreements evidencing same) need not be uniform
and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to
receive, Options under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly
situated.

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      Adopted
on Behalf of the Board of Directors

    Exhibit
4.2

    

    POWER
OIL & GAS INC.

    

    STOCK
OPTION AGREEMENT

    

      

      This
Stock Option Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of _______ by and
between Power Oil & Gas Inc., a Canadian corporation (the “Corporation”),
and _______ (the “Optionee”).

      

      WHEREAS,
the Corporation desires to afford the Optionee an opportunity to purchase
certain shares of the Corporation’s common stock so as to acquire a proprietary
interest as a shareholder of the Corporation and to provide the Optionee with an
incentive to use his best efforts in the service of the
Corporation.

      

      NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth
below, the parties agree as follows:

      

      (1)           Grant of
Option.

      

      The
Corporation hereby grants to Optionee the right to purchase up to the aggregate
number of Shares set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto at the exercise price
per Share stated therein.  The right to purchase such Shares shall be
subject to all of the provisions, terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement and in the Power Oil & Gas Inc. 2007 Stock Option (the “Plan”), a
copy of which is annexed hereto and made a part hereof.  Unless
defined in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning
ascribed to them in the Plan.

      

      This
Option is intended to be and shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option under
Section 422 of the Code unless this sentence has been manually crossed out and
its deletion is followed by the signature of the corporate officer who signed
this Option on behalf of the Corporation ______X______(check if
applicable).

      

      (2)           Vesting Schedule and
Expiration.

      

      This
Option shall not be exercisable prior to the vesting date set forth in Exhibit A
attached hereto or subsequent to the expiration date set forth therein unless
extended by the Board of Directors or the Option Committee.  During
the exercise period, the Option may be exercised by the Optionee (or such other
person or persons authorized to exercise Options under the Plan), in whole or in
part, from time to time, subject to the maximum percentage of Options then
exercisable in accordance with the schedule set forth in Exhibit A attached
hereto.  The Corporation agrees to maintain during such exercise
period a sufficient number of Shares (which may be authorized and unissued
Shares or issued Shares that have been reacquired by the Corporation)
corresponding to the number of unexercised Options granted to the Optionee after
taking into account any Share adjustment under the Plan.

      

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (3)           Restrictions on
Transferability of Options.

      

      This
Option may not be transferred by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution and may be exercised during the Optionee’s lifetime
only by the Optionee or the Optionee’s guardian or legal
representative.  A transfer of an Option by will or the laws of
descent and distribution shall not be effective unless the Option Committee
shall have been furnished with such evidence as it may deem necessary to
establish the validity and effectiveness of the transfer.

      

      (4)           Termination
Provisions.

      

      Except as
provided in paragraphs (2), and (3) below, if an Optionee’s employment by, or
relationship with, the Corporation is terminated voluntarily or, by the
Corporation, whether such termination is for Cause or for no reason whatsoever,
any Option heretofore granted which remains unexercised at the time of such
termination shall expire immediately, provided, however, that the Option
Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, within thirty (30) days of
such termination, waive the expiration of any Option awarded under the Plan, by
giving written notice of such waiver to the Optionee at such Optionee’s last
known address.  In the event of such waiver, the Optionee may exercise
any such Options only to such extent, for such time, and upon such terms and
conditions set forth in subparagraph (i) above.  The determination as
to whether a termination is voluntary or for Cause shall be made by the Option
Committee, whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

      

      If an
Optionee ceases to be employed by or ceases to perform services to the
Corporation by reason of death or Disability, the aggregate amount of
unexercised Options granted hereunder shall thereupon become fully vested and
immediately exercisable and shall expire no later than one (1) year thereafter
unless such Options by their terms expire before such date.  During
such one (1) year period, the Optionee, or, in the case of death, the Optionee’s
estate or the person or persons to whom the Option was transferred by will or
the laws of descent and distribution, may exercise any such Options, and if not
exercised, shall expire at the end of such one (1) year period unless such
Options by their terms expire before such date.

      

      If the
Optionee ceases to be employed by, or ceases to provide services to the
Corporation by reason of Retirement, the aggregate amount of unexercised Options
granted hereunder shall thereupon become fully vested and immediately
exercisable and shall expire, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, no later
than three (3) months following such Retirement, or in the case of a
Nonqualifying Stock Option one (1) year following Retirement, unless, in either
case, the Options by their terms expire prior to such date.

      

      (5)           Exercise, Payment for and
Delivery of Stock.

      

      This
Option may be exercised by the Optionee or other person then entitled to
exercise it by delivery of a written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation
together with this Option Agreement specifying the number of Options intended to
be exercised and the exercise price and accompanied by payment in full of the
exercise price for the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised.

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      If the
Corporation is required to withhold any federal, state or local tax as a result
of such exercise, the notice shall also be accompanied by a check payable to the
Corporation in payment of the applicable amount required to be withheld, unless
alternate arrangements have been agreed to between the parties to satisfy any
applicable withholding obligations.

      

      Payment
for Shares may be made in cash, or with the approval of the Option Committee
(which may be withheld in its sole discretion) with Shares having a fair market
value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price, or a combination of
cash and Shares.  In addition, subject to the approval of the Option
Committee (which may be withheld in its sole discretion), payment may be
effected wholly or partly by monies borrowed from the Corporation pursuant to
the terms of a promissory note, the terms and conditions of which shall be
determined from time to time by the Option Committee.  An Optionee may
purchase less than the total numbers of Shares for which Options are then
exercisable, provided, however, that any partial exercise shall not be for less
than 100 Shares and shall not include any fractional Shares.  No
Optionee, legal representative of such Optionee, as the case may be, shall be,
or shall be deemed to be, the owner of any Shares covered by an Option unless
and until certificates for the Shares are issued to the Optionee or such
Optionee’s representative under the Plan.

      

      (6)           Adjustments.

      

      In the
event that there is any change in the Shares of the Corporation arising through
merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock
split or combination thereof, the Board of Directors shall make such adjustments
in the aggregate number of Options subject to this Agreement and/or the price
per share of such Options in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the
Optionee’s rights and of the value represented by the Options; provided however,
no such adjustments will be made to the extent that such adjustments cause the
Plan to be treated as a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the
meaning of Code Section 409A or any Options issued thereunder as being issued
under a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Code
Section 409A.  Upon any adjustment in the number or exercise price of
Shares subject to an Option, a new Option may be granted in place of such Option
which has been so adjusted.  In the event of a dissolution or
liquidation of the Corporation or a merger, consolidation, sale of all or
substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, or other corporate reorganization
in which the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, or any merger in
which the Corporation is the surviving corporation but the holders of Shares
receive securities of another corporation, outstanding Options shall terminate,
provided that the holder of each Option shall, in such event, if no provision
has been made for the substitution of a new option for such outstanding option,
have the right immediately prior to such event to exercise the holder’s Options
in whole or in part without regard to the date on which the Options otherwise
would be first exercisable.

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (7)           Compliance with Laws and
Regulations.

      

      The
Optionee represents and warrants to the Corporation that the services rendered
by him to the Corporation shall under no circumstance include (a) any activities
which could be deemed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to
constitute investment banking or any other activities requiring the Optionee to
register as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (b) any
activities which could be deemed by the SEC to be in connection with the offer
or sale of securities; or (c) any activities which directly or indirectly
promote or maintain a market for the Corporation’s securities.

      

      By
accepting this Option, the Optionee represents and agrees for himself and
his  transferees by will or the laws of descent and distribution that,
unless a registration statement under Securities Act of 1933 is in effect as to
Shares purchased upon any exercise of this  Option, (a) any and all
Shares so purchased shall be acquired for his personal account and not with a
view to or for sale in connection with distribution, and (b) each notice of
exercise of all or any portion of this Option shall, if the Option Committee so
requests, be accompanied by a representation and warranty in writing, signed by
the person entitled to exercise the same, that the Shares are being so acquired
in good faith for his or her personal account and not with a view to or for sale
in connection with any distribution.

      

      No
certificates for Shares purchased upon exercise of this Option shall be issued
and delivered unless and until, in the opinion of legal counsel for the
Corporation, such securities may be issued and delivered without causing the
Corporation to be in violation of or incur any liability under any federal,
state or other securities law or any other requirement of law or of any
regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Corporation.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Optionee acknowledges and
understands that the Shares subject to the Options granted hereunder have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the blue sky or
securities laws of any state, that the Corporation has no obligation to so
register any of such Shares and that, except to the extent the Shares are so
registered, the Shares will be restricted securities and may be sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of only if an exemption from such registration
is available.  Unless the Shares have been so registered, there shall
be noted conspicuously upon each stock certificate representing such Shares, the
following statement:

      

      “The
shares of stock represented by this certificate have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act) nor under any applicable state securities
act and may not be offered or sold except pursuant to (i) an effective
registration statement relating to such stock under the 1933 Act and any
applicable state securities act, (ii) to the extent applicable, Rule 144 under
the 1933 Act (or any similar rule under such act or acts relating to the
disposition of securities), or (iii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Corporation that an exemption from registration under Act or Acts is
available.”

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (8)           Invalidity;
Severability.

      

      If any
clause or provision of this Agreement shall be adjudged invalid, the same shall
not affect the validity of any other clause or provision of this Agreement, or
of any other document pertaining to the subject matter thereof, or constitute by
reason thereof, any claim or cause of action in favor of Optionee as against the
Corporation.  In addition, the provisions of this Agreement shall be
read and construed and shall have effect as separate, severable and independent
provisions or restrictions, and shall be enforceable accordingly.

      

      (9)           Entire Agreement; No Waiver;
Remedies.

      

      This
Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and incorporates and
supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements with
respect to the matters referred to in it.  No waiver of any breach or
default hereunder shall be considered valid unless in writing and signed by the
party giving such waiver, and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any
subsequent breach or default of the same or similar nature.  No
failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof;
no waiver whatever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the party or
parties to be charged and then only to the extent specifically set forth in such
writing.  All remedies, rights, powers and privileges, either under
this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded the parties to this Agreement,
shall be cumulative and shall not be exclusive of any remedies, rights, powers
and privileges provided by law.

      

      (10)           Successors and
Assigns.

      

      The
rights and obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the
Corporation.

      

      (11)           Headings; Counterparts;
Governing Law.

      

      The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not
intended to define or limit the contents of any section or
paragraph.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement
shall in all respects be governed by the laws (without reference to conflicts of
laws principles) of Canada applicable to contracts made and performed within
Canada.

      

      (12)           Execution.

      

      The grant
of the Option hereunder shall be binding and effective only if this Agreement is
duly executed by or on behalf of the Corporation and by the Optionee, and a
signed copy is returned to the Corporation.

      

      The
Optionee acknowledges that no assurances or representations are made by the
Corporation as to the present or future market value of the Shares or as to the
business, affairs, financial condition or prospects of the
Corporation.

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      (13)           Governing
