          board of directors of companies unaffiliated with EMPLOYER;

     (d)  refrain  from  engaging  in any  activity  which  shall in any manner,
          directly  or  indirectly,  compete  with  the  trade  or  business  of
          EMPLOYER; and

     (e)  without the consent in writing of the Board, not acquire,  directly or
          indirectly,  any  interest  in a  firm,  partnership,  association  or

          directly or indirectly, compete with the trade or business of EMPLOYER
          other than publicly  traded stocks  representing  not more than 10% of
          any  such  firm,   partnership,   association  or   corporation.   The
          Executive's  existing interests of in businesses predating the signing

          provisions.

this Agreement in a timely and professional  manner, and that such activities do

to attend to customary  personal  financial affairs and engage in charitable and
civic activities or functions.

2.0 REMUNERATION

2.1 Salary

2.1.1 During the currency of this Agreement, EMPLOYER shall pay to the Executive
an annual salary of CDN$222,000  ("Base Salary") for all hours worked.  The Base
Salary shall be payable semi-monthly in equal instalments or on such other basis
as mutually agreed. During the first year of this Agreement,  the parties hereto
agree that the Employer will issue 2,220,000  common shares in its capital stock
at a deemed  price of $0.10 per  share to the  Executive  in lieu of the  salary
described  in its  subparagraph.  Notwithstanding  this  share  issuance  to the
Executive,   the  Executive  shall  commence   receiving  Base  Salary  payments
immediately upon the Employer  raising a minimum of $1,000,000  through the sale
of its equity,  which  amount  shall not include the  $500,000  that Sky Harvest
Windpower Corp. intends to invest into the Employer's common shares.

2.1.2 EMPLOYER shall have the right to deduct and withhold from the  Executive's
compensation  any  amounts  required  to be  deducted  and  remitted  under  any
applicable  local,  domestic  or  other  laws  of  general  application  to  the
employment  relationship.  The  Executive  shall  have the right to  charge  the
company any applicable taxes, including Goods & Services Tax or Harmonized Sales
Tax.

2.2 Annual Salary Increase

2.2.1 The Executive's  Base Salary will increase,  effective on each anniversary
of the Effective  Date of this  Agreement,  by at least 5% of the Base Salary in
effect  at the  time,  which  increase  shall be  determined  by the  Employer's
Compensation Committee, or its Board of Directors if no such committee exists.

2.3 Target Bonus

2.3.1 The  Executive  shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to 500%
of the Base Salary (the "Target  Bonus"),  payable in accordance with procedures
that  the  EMPLOYER  establishes  for the  payment  of the  Target  Bonus to its
employees.  However,  under no  circumstance  during the Term of this  agreement
shall the annual bonus be less than 20% of the Base Salary.

2.3.2 The percentage of the Target Bonus that the Executive will receive will be
determined  based on  measuring  and  weighing the  following  three  components
(collectively, the "Target Bonus Components"):

     (a)  Financial  results  of  EMPLOYER's  business  operations  operated  by
          EMPLOYER's business  executives,  excluding,  capital expenditures and
          debt service, which component shall make up 40% of the Target Bonus;

     (b)  Financial  results  of the entire  operations  of  EMPLOYER  excluding
          capital  expenditures  and debt service,  which component will make up
          25% of the Target Bonus; and

                                       3
<PAGE>
     (c)  Non-financial,  qualitative  performance of the Executive's  duties at
          EMPLOYER,  as evaluated in the sole discretion of the Employer's Board
          of Directors,  or committee  thereof,  taking into account  particular
          challenges and achievements during the year, which component will make
          up 30% of the Target  Bonus and the  Executive  can earn up to 500% of
          this amount.

2.3.3 If the financial  results under Target Bonus  Components  (a) or (b) above
are not met, then, as  applicable,  the amount of the Target Bonus payable under
such  components  shall  be  reduced  by 2% for  every  1% that  the  applicable
financial results are not met, provided,  however, that no Target Bonus shall be
payable  under those  components  unless at least 75% of the targeted  financial
results are achieved.

2.3.4 The level of achievement  required to achieve the Target Bonus  Components
will be established at the outset of each fiscal year by the Employer's Board or
committee thereof,  in its sole discretion,  and the terms and conditions of the
Executive's  Target Bonus are subject to  modification  from time to time by the
Board or committee thereof, in consultation with the Executive.

2.4 Stock Option Plan

2.4.1 The Executive  shall be entitled to  participate  in EMPLOYER's  incentive
stock option plan (the "Option Plan") when adopted and be entitled to be granted
20% of the total stock options available as part of the Stock Option Plan at any
given time.

2.5 Payment of Target Bonus

2.5.1 For the  purposes  of this  Agreement,  any  entitlements  to or under the
Target Bonus in any given fiscal year are not earned unless and until:

     (a)  the Executive is otherwise  eligible or entitled to receive payment of
          the Target  Bonus in  respect of such  fiscal  year  pursuant  to this
          Agreement, as the case may be;

          and

     (b)  the Executive's  employment has not been terminated for cause prior to
          the end of such fiscal year.

2.5.2 Notwithstanding Section 2.5.1, if the Executive's employment is terminated
without  cause,  for  Good  Reason  (as  defined  herein),  as a  result  of the
Executive's  permanent  incapacity  or his  death  prior to the end of any given
fiscal year, the Executive  shall be entitled to be paid pro-rated  Target Bonus
compensation  in respect of such fiscal year,  such Target Bonus to be pro-rated
on the basis of the  percentage  of the fiscal year  worked  prior to the time a
notice of termination is given or received by the Executive or of his death. For
greater  certainty,  under no  circumstances  shall the Executive be entitled to
receive any  pro-rated  Target Bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which this
Agreement  and the  Executive's  employment  are  terminated  as a result of the
Executive giving a notice of termination  pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company
giving a notice of  termination  pursuant to Section 3.3 prior to the completion
of such fiscal year.

                                       4
<PAGE>
2.5.3 To the  extent  any  Target  Bonus is earned in any given  fiscal  year as
described  in Section  2.5.1  herein,  the  Executive  shall be paid such earned
Target Bonus in accordance  with the normal  procedures  established by EMPLOYER
for such payment  within a reasonable  time of the  completion of the applicable
fiscal year.  If the  Executive  is no longer  employed by EMPLOYER at the usual
time of payment of the Target Bonus to EMPLOYER executives, then any such earned
Target  Bonus or  pro-rated  Target  Bonus to which the  Executive  is  entitled
pursuant to Section  2.5.2 herein shall be paid by EMPLOYER at the same time any
bonus  compensation  would have been paid had the Executive  still been employed
with EMPLOYER.

2.6 Reimbursement of Expenses

2.6.1  EMPLOYER  shall  reimburse  the  Executive  for  all  reasonable  travel,
promotional and other business  expenses  actually and properly  incurred by the
Executive in the performance of his duties for EMPLOYER.

2.7 Vacation

2.7.1 The  Executive  shall be entitled to FOUR weeks paid  vacation per year of
employment  under this  Agreement,  increasing  in  accordance  with  EMPLOYER's
Vacation  Policy,  as it  exists  from  time to time  and as it  applies  to the
Executive.

2.7.2 Vacation shall only be taken at such times and upon such conditions as the
Executive  and the Board or CEO or their nominee  shall  mutually  agree and the
terms and conditions of EMPLOYER's  Vacation  Policy,  as it exists from time to
time and as it applies to the Executive.

2.8 Benefits

2.8.1 The  Executive  will be eligible to  participate  in the medical,  dental,
health and short-term and long-term  disability and other employee benefit plans
made  available  to  employees of EMPLOYER  having  responsibilities  similar in
nature or level to those of the Executive, provided that such participation will
be  subject  to all terms and  conditions  of such  plans.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  to the extent  permitted  by law,  (i) all waiting  periods that may
otherwise  apply with respect to such benefit  plans shall be waived in the case
of Executive, and (ii) Executive shall be entitled to immediately participate at
the maximum  contribution  and matching  levels with  respect to any  retirement
benefit plans of EMPLOYER.

2.8.2  EMPLOYER  agrees to work in good faith  with  Executive  to  explore  the
establishment and  implementation of reasonable  deferred  compensations  plans,
pension plans,  savings plans, which Executive would be permitted to participate
in.

2.8.3 The  introduction  and  administration  of all employee  benefit  plans is
within   EMPLOYER's  sole   discretion,   and  the  Executive  agrees  that  the
introduction,  deletion or amendment of any of the benefits shall not constitute
a breach of this Agreement.

agreement and shall include  supply of a leased vehicle for the exclusive use of
the Executive.  The monthly lease payment of such vehicle shall not be more than

which  occurred  while the Executive  was, in good faith,  performing his duties

subsidiaries  of  EMPLOYER  to the same extent  EMPLOYER  indemnifies  its other
executives and officers, as applicable.

               termination.

<PAGE>

          position, the nature and responsibilities or authority within EMPLOYER
          that is not contemplated by this Agreement;

     (b)  a material  reduction in the Executive's total annual  compensation as
          provided in this  Agreement (or as such amounts may be increased  from

          Executive relating to incentive  compensation  amounts as described in
          Section 2.4 herein and any increase that may occur in the value of the
          Executive's benefits under the EMPLOYER benefit plans resulting from a
          restructuring  of any and  all  benefit  plans  at the  discretion  of
          EMPLOYER in accordance with Section 2.8.3;

     (c)  any other  failure by  EMPLOYER  to perform  any  material  obligation

     (d)  a relocation  of the  Executive's  principal  work location to a place
          outside of Vancouver, British Columbia.

3.5 Termination by Death

3.5.1 This Agreement will automatically terminate upon the Executive's death.

3.5.2 In the event that the  Executive's  employment is terminated by his death,
the  Executive's  estate shall be entitled to receive,  on the first regular pay
date following the Executive's  death: (i) any Base Salary due up to the date of
the death; (ii) any accrued unused vacation pay due as of the Executive's death;
and (iii) any unreimbursed expenses due under this Agreement.  In addition,  the
Executive  shall be paid, as applicable,  any Bonus  Compensation  earned in the
previous  fiscal  year  which has not been paid as at the  Executive's  death or
pro-rated  Bonus  Compensation  in accordance  with Section  2.5.3  herein.  Any
insurance  payments  to the  Executive's  estate  or other  beneficiary  will be
governed by the applicable plan.

3.6 Permanent Incapacity

3.6.1 Subject to Section 3.6.3 herein,  EMPLOYER's  obligations to the Executive
and the  Executive's  obligation  to EMPLOYER to perform  work  pursuant to this
Agreement  shall  terminate  upon  the  Executive's  permanent  incapacity,  and
EMPLOYER may also  terminate  the  Executive's  employment  hereunder by written
notice. For the purposes of this Section 3.6.1, the Executive shall be deemed to
have suffered  permanent  incapacity when the Executive suffers from any illness
or injury that prevents him from  performing his usual  employment  duties for a
period of 4  consecutive  months or for 6 months  within any 12-month  period or
when two  physicians  (one  designated  by the  Executive  and one by  EMPLOYER)
certify him as being permanently incapacitated.

3.6.2 The Executive  acknowledges and agrees that given the nature of EMPLOYER's
business  and the  critical  importance  of his  position to the  operations  of
EMPLOYER,  it would  constitute  an  unreasonable  accommodation  on the part of
EMPLOYER to operate without the services of the Executive for a period in excess
of 4 consecutive months or 6 months within any 12-month period. Furthermore, the

                                       9
<PAGE>
Executive  acknowledges  that it  will be  impractical  for  EMPLOYER  to hire a
replacement  for the Executive,  unless the  replacement is hired on a permanent
basis.

3.6.3 Notwithstanding the termination of certain of their respective obligations
under this Agreement  pursuant to Section 3.6.1,  EMPLOYER will continue to make
available to the  Executive  its group  insurance  benefits  and  EMPLOYER  will
refrain from terminating the Executive's  employment due to permanent incapacity
if to do so  would  disentitle  the  Executive  from  any  short  or  long  term
disability benefits under EMPLOYER's benefit plans.

3.6.4 In the event the  Executive's  employment is terminated as a result of the
Executive's permanent incapacity, the Executive shall be entitled to receive, on
the first regular payday following the termination date: (i) any Base Salary due
up to the date of permanent incapacity;  (ii) any accrued unused vacation due up
to the date of permanent  incapacity;  and (iii) any  unreimbursed  expenses due

          information about those supplier and employee relationships;  research
          and  development  plans  or  projects,  data  and  reports;   computer
          materials such as programs, instructions,  source and object code, and
          printouts;  formulas,  inventions,  developments and discoveries;  and
          product information, including testing information;

     (b)  any  information  relating to the  relationship  of EMPLOYER  with any
          personnel, suppliers, principals,  investors, contacts or prospects of
          EMPLOYER   and  any   information   relating   to  the   requirements,
          specifications,  proposals,  orders,  contracts or  transactions of or
          with any such persons; and

     (c)  financial  information,  including EMPLOYER's costs, financing or debt
          arrangements, income, profits, salaries or wages.

4.1.3  The  Executive   acknowledges   that  the  Confidential  and  Proprietary
Information is a valuable and unique asset of EMPLOYER and that the Confidential
and  Proprietary  Information  is and will  remain  the  exclusive  property  of
EMPLOYER.

4.1.4 The Executive  agrees to maintain  securely and hold in strict  confidence
all Confidential and Proprietary Information received,  acquired or developed by
the Executive or disclosed to the Executive as a result of or in connection with
the Executive's employment with EMPLOYER. The Executive agrees that, both during
his employment  with EMPLOYER and after the  termination of his employment  with
EMPLOYER, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly,  divulge, communicate,
use,  copy  or  disclose  or  permit  others  to  use,  copy  or  disclose,  any
Confidential  and  Proprietary   Information  to  any  person,  except  as  such
disclosure  or use is  required  to perform  his duties  hereunder  or as may be
consented to by prior written authorization of the Board.

4.1.5 The  obligation of  confidentiality  imposed by this  Agreement  shall not
apply to  information  that appears in issued  patents or printed  publications,
that otherwise  becomes  generally  known in the industry  through no act of the
Executive  in breach of this  Agreement,  or that is required to be disclosed by
court order or applicable law.

4.1.6  The  Executive  understands  that  EMPLOYER  has from time to time in its

Confidential and Proprietary Information for the purposes of this Agreement.

4.1.7 For purposes of the copyright laws of the United States of America, to the
extent,  if  any,  that  such  laws  are  applicable  to  any  Confidential  and
Proprietary  Information,  it  shall  be  considered  a work  made  for hire and
EMPLOYER shall be considered the author thereof.

and will not bring with the  Executive to EMPLOYER,  and that the  Executive has
not used and will not use, while performing the Executive's duties for EMPLOYER,

to use.

whether or not  conceived,  developed,  reduced to  practice  or made during the
Executive's  regular working hours or on the premises of EMPLOYER  (collectively
"Inventions"),  and any and all services and products  which embody,  emulate or
employ  any  such  Inventions  will be the sole  property  of  EMPLOYER  and all
copyrights,  patents, patent rights, trademarks,  service marks and reproduction
rights to, and other proprietary rights in, each such Invention,  whether or not
patentable or copyrightable, will belong exclusively to EMPLOYER.

4.2.3 For purposes of the copyright laws of the United States of America, to the
extent,  if any, that such laws are applicable to any such Invention or any such
service or product, it will be considered a work made for hire and EMPLOYER will
be considered the author thereof.

4.2.4 The Executive  represents  and warrants that the Executive  does not claim
rights in, or otherwise exclude from this Agreement, any Inventions.

4.2.5 The  Executive  shall  disclose  promptly to EMPLOYER,  its  successors or
assigns, any Inventions.

4.2.6 The Executive  hereby  assigns and agrees to assign all his rights,  title
and interest in the Inventions, to EMPLOYER or its nominee.

4.2.7 Whenever  requested to do so by EMPLOYER,  the Executive shall execute any

Agreement or with the prior written consent of the Board or its nominee):

     (a)  call on,  solicit,  or endeavour to entice  away,  either  directly or
          indirectly,  any person or entity who is, or was a client, customer or
          potential  customer of EMPLOYER who the Executive or his  subordinates
          solicited  or serviced  on behalf of  EMPLOYER  during the twelve (12)
          month period immediately  preceding the termination of the Executive's
          employment with EMPLOYER; and

          independent  contractor or  consultant  of EMPLOYER  during the twelve
          (12)  month  period  immediately  preceding  the  termination  of  the
          Executive's   employment   with  EMPLOYER  to  terminate  his  or  her
          relationship with EMPLOYER in order to become an employee,  consultant

6.1 The Executive  acknowledges that the restrictions  contained in Sections 4.0
and 5.0 are, in view of the nature of the business of EMPLOYER,  reasonable  and
necessary to protect the legitimate  interests of EMPLOYER,  that EMPLOYER would

irreparable injury to EMPLOYER.

fit.
