         percent  (50%) of any amount  LICENSORS  receive  from such third party
         within  thirty  (30) days of  AQUAMAX's  or  KEERAN's  receipt  of such
         license royalty or amount(s) of a similar nature.

                         Confidentiality of Information

7.1      LICENSORS  and OCEAN  POWER  each  acknowledge  that,  in the course of
         performing their respective obligations hereunder,  they will obtain or
         come  in  contact  with  confidential  information,  including  without
         limitation  Technical  Information,  of the other.  LICENSORS and OCEAN
         POWER shall:

         a)       use the other's  confidential  information  only in connection
                  with fulfilling such Party's obligations under this Agreement.
                  Officers,  employees,  agents or  independent  contractors  of
                  OCEAN  POWER  or  LICENSORS   will  be  given  access  to  the
                  confidential  information on a need to know basis.  Each shall
                  obtain an agreement in a form  satisfactory to the other, from
                  each such person to whom such  disclosure  is made pursuant to
                  which such person will agree to be bound by the  provisions of
                  this  Article  7,  including,  but not  limited  to, any third
                  parties  a Party  will  have  make any  part for the  Licensed
                  Products.  Each hereto shall be responsible  for any breach of
                  these  provisions  by it or any of  its  employees,  officers,
                  agents or independent  contractors.  In the event that a Party
                  hereto   believes   it  is   compelled   by  law  to  disclose
                  confidential   information   of   another   Party,   it  shall
                  immediately  notify  that Party and shall  cooperate  with any
                  effort by that Party to obtain a protective order or otherwise
                  limit the  disclosure  of any such  confidential  information.
                  These  obligations  shall  extend for a period three (3) years
                  from the end of the term or termination of this Agreement; and

         b)       hold  all  confidential  information  of  a  Party  in  strict
                  confidence  and exercise due care with respect to its handling
                  and  protection,  consistent  with such  Party's own  policies
                  concerning protection of its confidential  information of like
                  importance, but in no event less than reasonable care.

7.2      The  obligations  set forth in Section  7.1 will not apply to a Party's

                  act or omission by the receiving Party;

                                       8
<PAGE>

         b)       the receiving Party can demonstrate it independently developed
                  its confidential information without the use of, or access to,
                  the information furnished to it by the disclosing Party;

         c)       is or becomes publicly available through issued patents(s), or
                  other printed publications;

         d)       is  hereafter  disclosed  to the  disclosing  Party by a third
                  party  having  no  obligations  of   confidentiality   to  the
                  disclosing Party with respect to such information; or

         e)       was known to the receiving Party prior to its receipt from the

                  Party.

7.3      LICENSORS  and OCEAN POWER may disclose the contents of this  Agreement
         to lenders,  other financing sources and potential financing sources or
         as may be required in filings  with  federal  and/or  state  securities
         authorities  provided that such lenders and the other financing sources
         and  potential  persons  have a need to know and agree to be bound by a
         confidential agreement acceptable to the Parties.

7.4      The  provisions  of this  Article 7 shall  survive  for three (3) years
         after the end of the term or the termination of this Agreement.

         the calendar year in which the Licensed Product(s) or amounts described
         in such records are sold or received, as the case may be.

8.2      Inspection:  Upon  OCEAN  POWER's  written  request,  from time to time

         year) and for three (3) years thereafter, AQUAMAX and/or KEERAN, as the
         case may be, shall permit an independent  Certified  Public  Accountant

         be unreasonably withheld), during normal business hours, to inspect all
         the records  which  LICENSORS  are  required  to  maintain  pursuant to
         Section 8.1.

                  Technical Assistance and Technology Transfer

10.1     The  Parties   contemplate  that  OCEAN  POWER  may  require  technical
         assistance  from  LICENSORS in order to achieve the  objectives of this
         Agreement.  Accordingly,  LICENSORS will make available to OCEAN POWER,

         applications   to  OCEAN   POWER  so  that   OCEAN   POWER  may  assume
         responsibility for their continued  maintenance or prosecution.  Where,

                                  Attachment I

                           Draft Project Collaborative
                      Between Ocean Power and EPRIsolutions

1.   Ocean  Power  has  developed   small  Stirling   Engine  power  system  for
     distributed power applications.

2.   Ocean Power seeks to commercialize  these systems in the U.S. and seeks the
     assistance of EPRIsolutions  and its network of electric and gas utilities.
     Ocean Power also seeks electric and gas utilities as strategic partners and
     potential distributors of its product.

3.   Ocean  Power  plans  to  form  a  new  venture   (NewCo)  in  the  U.S.  to
     commercialize  the  Stirling  Engine  and  other   distributed   generation
     technologies.

4.   EPRIsolutions  can  conduct  initial  baseline  testing at its world  class
     EPRI-PEAC  test facility in Knoxville,  TN. Such testing will provide NewCo
     with  information  regarding their product's  ability to meet US electrical
     interconnection and power quality  requirements.  EPRIsolutions  testing of
     the NewCo product will provide important referencing and products readiness
     information  for the US market.  The  details  of the Phase I approach  are
     outlined below:

5.   NewCo will provide a unit and ship it to EPRIsolutions'  test facility at a
     price estimated at about $75,000 for testing at its EPRI-PEAC facility.

6.   EPRIsolutions  will  test the unit at its own cost  under a  pre-determined
     test protocol.

7.   EPRIsolutions  will provide NewCo with a test report and will reference the
     testing in a mutually agreed upon press release.

8.   NewCo and  EPRIsolutions  will  launch a  business  collaborative  outlined
     below.

9.   NewCo will grant  EPRIsolutions an exclusive role in securing 20 beta units
     in the US,  Canada for at least a min. one year period.  EPRIsolutions  can
     also secure beta sites in Japan, and in developing  countries.  The outside
     US strategy will be developed with NewCo.

10.  NewCo will develop  pricing and terms for the beta unit for  field-testing.
     Such pricing  will be FOB TBD.  NewCo will also  provide  arrangements  for
     shipping or transporting  beta units to US test sites.  Shipping costs will
     be paid by NewCo.

11.  EPRIsolutions will obtain commitments for 20 beta units for a US field test
     and demonstration via a private R&D collaborative.

                                       1
<PAGE>

12.  EPRIsolutions  will manage the organization of the field test effort.  This
     field test program  will include  periodic  meetings;  discussion  of field
     deployment results such as siting,  permitting,  operation and maintenance,
     etc.

13.  NewCo or the Utilities will own the beta test units. If owned by NewCo they
     will be returned at NewCo's expense after the testing period.

14.  NewCo will provide  necessary  field test support as may be required by the
     host utilities.

15.  NewCo will provide initial training for  installation  and operation.  Such
     training  could also be  developed  in concert  with  EPRIsolutions  at its
     EPRI-PEAC facility.

16.  In  return   for   EPRIsolutions   efforts   at   facilities   of   NewCo's
     commercialization  venture in the US. NewCo will develop value  proposition
     terms for both EPRIsolutions and its electric and gas members:

17.  Such terms could include the following:

     a)  NewCo  shall  issue  a  mutually   agreeable   number  of  warrants  to
         EPRIsolutions  in return  for its  purchase  of the  pre-beta  Stirling
         engine to be  validation  tested in Phase I. The strike  price for such
         warrants shall be mutually agreed upon.

     b)  NewCo shall issue  warrants to electric  and gas  utilities  for each $
         committed  by electric and gas  utilities  and paid to NewCo for a beta
         unit and  responding  EPRIsolutions'  private  R&D  collaborative  with
         NewCo.  The strike  price for such  warrants  shall be mutually  agreed
         upon.

     c)  NewCo  shall  grant each  participating  electric or gas utility in the
         field test program an option to be US distributor. Terms of such option
         will be developed.

     d)  NewCo shall grant EPRIsolutions warrants in NewCo for every $ US dollar
         of revenue  committed and paid to NewCo either  directly by electric or
         gas utilities  responding to an EPRIsolutions  private R&D solicitation
         or indirectly to NewCo via an  EPRIsolutions/NewCo  purchase order. The
         strike price for such warrants shall be mutually agreed upon.

This is a  non-binding  agreement.  Both  parties  agree to develop this project
under a best effort basis.
