Exhibit 10.2


EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT


THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”), dated as of March 12, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into among
Bakken Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Karen S. Midtlyng (“Executive”).
Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 11 hereof.


The Company and Executive
desire to enter into this agreement relating to Executive's employment by the Company.


The parties hereto
agree as follows:


1.           
Employment. The Company shall employ Executive as Corporate Secretary to the Company,
and Executive hereby agrees to be employed by the Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement
for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending as provided in Section 3 hereof (the “Employment Period”).
Executive shall be employed on a full-time basis with the Company.



2.           
Position and Duties.



(a)      Position. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as the Corporate Secretary
of the Company and in such capacity shall have the duties, responsibilities and authority that are normally associated with such
office and as requested by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) from time to time.



(b)      Duties. Executive shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
and Executive shall devote all her time and attention (except for permitted vacation periods and periods of illness or incapacity
and other activities approved by the Board from time to time) to the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries.




3.           
Termination. The Employment Period shall terminate on the first anniversary of the
Effective Date (the “Initial Term”) and shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods (each
a “Successive Term”) unless either party gives written notice to the other at least 60 days prior to the end
of the Initial Term, or at least 60 days prior to the end of any one (1) year renewal period, that the Agreement shall not be further
extended. The date on which the Employment Period terminates after any notice of non-renewal is referred to herein as the “Expiration
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and Executive agree that Executive is an “at-will” employee, subject
only to the contractual rights upon termination set forth herein, and that the Employment Period (a) shall terminate automatically
at any time upon Executive's death, (b) shall terminate automatically at any time upon the Board's determination of Executive's
Disability, (c) may be terminated by the Company at any time for any reason or no reason (whether for Cause or without Cause) by
giving Executive written notice of the termination, and (d) may be terminated by Executive for any reason or no reason (including
for Good Reason) by giving the Company written notice at least 60 days in advance of her termination date. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in no event shall delivery of a notice of non-renewal by the Company be deemed a termination without Cause.
The date that the Employment Period is terminated for any reason is referred to herein as the “Termination Date.”












4.           
Base Salary and Benefits.



(a)      Base Salary. During the Employment Period, Executive's base salary shall be $72,000
per year (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be reviewed annually. The Base Salary shall not be reduced
prior to the Expiration Date, and after any increase of such Base Salary approved by the Board, the term “Base Salary”
in this Agreement shall refer to the Base Salary as so increased. The Base Salary shall be payable in regular installments in accordance
with the Company's general payroll practices.



(b)      Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable travel and other
business expenses incurred by Executive during the Employment Period in connection with the performance of her duties and obligations
under this Agreement as approved by the Chief Executive Officer, subject to Executive's compliance with such limitations and reporting
requirements with respect to expenses as may be established by the Company from time to time.



(c)      Other Benefits. During the Employment Period and provided Executive is a full-time
employee, Executive will be entitled to participate in all compensation or employee benefit plans or programs and receive all benefits
and perquisites for which similarly situated executives of the Company generally are eligible under any plan or program now in
existence or established later by the Company, on the same basis as other similarly situated executives of the Company. Nothing
in this Agreement will preclude the Company from amending or terminating any of the plans or programs applicable to similarly situated
executives of the Company as long as such amendment or termination is applicable to similarly situated executives of the Company,
as the case may be.



(d)      Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law and the articles of incorporation
of the Company, Executive (and her heirs, executors and administrators) shall be indemnified by the Company and its successors
and assigns for Executive’s actions in her capacity as an officer or director of the Company. The obligations of the Company
pursuant to this Section shall survive the Employment Period. 



5.           
Severance.



(a)      Termination without Cause or for Good Reason. If, prior to the Expiration Date, the
Employment Period is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, or if the Company does not renew
the Agreement at the end of the Initial Term or any Successive Term thereafter Executive shall be entitled to receive during
the Severance Period her annual Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date, paid in the same manner
and in the same installments as previously paid. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Executive be entitled to any bonus
payment if Executive was not employed by the Company on the last day of the fiscal year during which any such Performance Bonus
was earned. When used herein, the “Severance Period” means the 12-month period from and after the Termination
Date. 



(b)      Death or Disability. In the event of the death or Disability of Executive during the
Employment Period, the Company's obligation to make payments or provide any other benefits under this Agreement shall cease as
of the date of death or Disability of Executive; provided, that Executive (or her estate) shall be entitled to receive (i)
all earned or accrued but unpaid Base Salary and reimbursement of expenses incurred by Executive prior to the Termination Date,
(ii) any Performance Bonus that was earned, but not paid, as of the Termination Date, and (iii) all amounts or benefits to which
Executive is entitled under any applicable employee benefit plan or arrangement of the Company in which Executive was a participant
during her employment with the Company, in accordance with the terms of such plan or arrangement. 












(c)      Other Termination. If the Employment Period is terminated by the Company for Cause
or by Executive for any reason other than Good Reason, Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments and all of Executive's
benefits shall cease to be effective immediately as of the Termination Date (except as required by law); provided, that
Executive shall be entitled to receive all earned or accrued but unpaid Base Salary and reimbursement of expenses incurred by Executive
prior to the Termination Date.



(d)      Other Benefits. Except as required by law or as specifically provided in this Section
5, the Company's obligation to make any payments or provide any other benefits hereunder shall terminate automatically as of
the Termination Date. 



(e)      Termination of Severance. If Executive breaches any of the provisions of Sections
6 and 7 hereof, or engages in any Competitive Activity (as defined below) as described in Section 8 hereof, the
Company shall no longer be obligated to make any additional payments or provide any other benefits pursuant to this Section
5.



6.           
Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that the information, observations
and data, whether in tangible or intangible form (including, without limitation, trade secrets, know-how, research plans, business,
accounting, distribution and sales methods and systems, sales and profit figures and margins and other technical or business information,
business, marketing and sales plans and strategies, cost and pricing structures, suppliers, customer lists, business relationships,
and information concerning acquisition opportunities and targets nationwide in or reasonably related to any business or industry
in which the Company or its respective Subsidiaries is engaged), disclosed or otherwise revealed to her, or discovered or otherwise
obtained by her or of which she becomes aware, directly or indirectly, while employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries (including,
in each case, those obtained prior to the date of this Agreement) concerning the business or affairs of the Company or any of its
respective Subsidiaries (collectively, “Confidential Information”) are the property of the Company or its respective
Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and agrees that the Company has a protectable interest in such Confidential Information. Therefore,
Executive agrees that she shall not (during her employment with the Company or at anytime thereafter) disclose, furnish or make
accessible to any unauthorized person or use for her own or any third party’s purposes any Confidential Information without
the prior written consent of the Board, unless and to the extent that the aforementioned matters: (a) become or are generally known
to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive's acts or omissions or (b) are required to be disclosed
by judicial process or law (provided that Executive shall give prompt advance written notice of such
requirement to the Company to enable the Company to seek an appropriate protective order or confidential treatment). Executive
shall deliver to the Company at the termination of the Employment Period, or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda,
notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes, printouts and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) which
constitute Confidential Information or Work Product (as defined below) which she may then possess or have under her control. Executive
acknowledges that upon termination of her employment with the Company, the Company may deem it advisable to, and shall be entitled
to, serve notice on her new employer that Executive has been exposed to certain Confidential Information and that she has continuing
obligations under the terms of this Agreement not to disclose such information. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive
the termination or expiration of the Employment Period, irrespective of the reason therefor.



7.           
Work Product. Executive hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest
in and to all inventions, developments, methods, processes, designs, analyses, reports and all similar or related information (in
each case whether or not patentable), all copyrightable works, all trade secrets, confidential information and know-how, and all
other intellectual property rights that both (a) are conceived, reduced to practice, developed or made by Executive while employed
by the Company and its 











Subsidiaries
and (b) either (i) relate to the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' actual or anticipated businesses, research and development
or existing or future products or services, or (ii) are conceived, reduced to practice, developed or made using any of the equipment,
supplies, facilities, assets or resources of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, any intellectual
property rights) (“Work Product”). Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and perform
all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm the Company's
ownership of the Work Product (including, without limitation, executing and delivering assignments, consents, powers of attorney,
applications and other instruments).



8.           
Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. 



(a)      Non-Competition. If Executive engages in any Competitive Activity during the two year period following the Termination Date (“Non-Competition
Term”), Executive’s right to receive any remaining severance payments under Section 5(a) hereof shall immediately
terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Executive is terminated without cause or for good reason, the Non-Competition
Term shall be the one year period following the Termination Date. Executive shall be deemed to be engaged in a “Competitive
Activity” if she anywhere within the United States engages, directly or indirectly, alone or as a shareholder (other
than as a holder of less than one percent (1%) of the common stock of any publicly traded corporation), partner, officer, director,
employee, consultant or advisor, or otherwise in any way participates in or becomes associated with, any other business organization
that is involved or becomes involved with the oil and gas industry, in any State that the Company,
or any of its Subsidiaries, is conducting such business at the time of Executive’s termination or has notified Executive
that it proposes to conduct such business and for which the Company has, prior to the time of such termination, expended substantial
resources.



(b)      Non-Solicitation. If Executive engages in any Solicitation Activity during the two year
period following the Termination
Date (“Non-Solicitation Term”), Executive’s right to receive any remaining severance payments under Section
5(a) hereof shall immediately terminate. Executive shall be deemed to be engaged in “Solicitation
Activity” if she employs, retains or engages (as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise), or induces or attempts
to induce to be employed, retained or engaged, any Person who is or was during the Non-Solicitation Term an employee, consultant
or officer of the Company, induces or attempts to induce any Person who, as of the date hereof or at any time thereafter during
the term of this Agreement, is an employee, consultant, or officer of the Company to terminate his or her employment or other relationship
with the Company, or induces or attempts to induce any Person who, as of the date hereof or at any time thereafter during the term
of this Agreement, is a customer, or other contracting party with the Company to terminate or not renew or not extend any written
or oral agreement or understanding or other relationship with the Company, or to reduce the amount of business it conducts with
the Company.



9.           
Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of any of Sections 6, 7 and
8, a court of competent jurisdiction shall hold that the type, scope or duration of the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable
under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum type, scope or duration reasonable under such circumstances
shall be substituted for the stated type, scope or duration and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions
contained herein to cover the maximum type, scope and duration permitted by applicable law. The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that Executive's services are unique and she has access to Confidential Information and Work Product, that the
provisions of Sections 6, 7 and 8 are necessary, reasonable and appropriate for the protection of the
legitimate business interests of the Company and its respective Subsidiaries, that irreparable injury
will result to the Company and its respective Subsidiaries if Executive breaches any of the provisions of Sections 6,
7 and 8 and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach by Executive of this Agreement and
that the Company will not have any adequate remedy at law 










for any such
breach. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or any of its successors or assigns,
in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, shall be entitled to specific performance and/or immediate injunctive
or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions
hereof (without the necessity of showing actual money damages, or posting a bond or other security). Nothing contained herein shall
be construed as prohibiting the Company or any of its successors or assigns from pursuing any other remedies available to it for
such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages.



10.           
Executive's Representations and Acknowledgements. Executive hereby represents and warrants
to the Company that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive do not and shall not conflict
with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Executive
is a party or by which she is bound, (ii) Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, non-competition
agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other Person, (iii) Executive shall not use any confidential information or
trade secrets of any third party in connection with the performance of her duties hereunder, and (iv) this Agreement constitutes
the valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable against Executive in accordance with its terms. Executive hereby acknowledges
and represents that she has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding her rights and obligations under this Agreement
and that she fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein and intends for such terms and conditions to be binding
on and enforceable against Executive. Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections
6, 7 and 8 do not preclude Executive from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on
Executive's ability to earn a living. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the potential harm to the Company of
its non-enforcement outweighs any harm to Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges that
she has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Executive by this Agreement,
and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of the Confidential Information. Executive
expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject
matter, time period and geographical area.
