                immediately deliver to the Company all property of the Company
                which may still be in S.Westgarde's possession. S.Westgarde will
                not remove or assist in removing such property from the
                Company's premises under any circumstances, either during the
                Employment or after Termination thereof, except as authorized by
                the Company's management.

4.      Ownership of Intellectual Property.

        a.      The Company will be the sole owner of any and all of
                S.Westgarde's Trade Secrets all of which enable the Company to
                compete successfully in its business. As an express condition of
                this Agreement, S.Westgarde covenants and agrees: to treat all
                such matters relating to the Company's business, including all
                geological, geophysical, engineering, and land data relating to
                Company properties and any of the Company's business operations,
                methods, procedures, or activities as trade secrets and
                confidential information entrusted to S.Westgarde, solely for
                use in his capacity as an employee under the terms of this
                Agreement, and S.Westgarde will not divulge such information in
                any way to persons outside of the Company or utilize such
                information other than in his capacity as an employee under the
                terms of this Agreement during or for a period of not less than
                2 years following the expiration or termination of this
                Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

        b.      For purposes of this Agreement, "TRADE SECRET" means all
                inventions, discoveries, prospects and improvements (including,
                without limitation, any information relating to manufacturing
                techniques, processes, formulas, developments or experimental
                work, work in progress, or business trade secrets), along with
                any and all other work product relating thereto.

        c.      A Trade Secret is "RELATED TO the Company'S BUSINESS"
                ("COMPANY-RELATED TRADE SECRET") if it is made, conceived, or
                reduced to practice by S.Westgarde (in whole or in part, either
                alone or jointly with others, whether or not during regular
                working hours), whether or not potentially patentable or
                copyrightable in the U.S. or elsewhere, and it either: (i)
                involves equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret
                information of the Company; (ii) involves the time for which
                S.Westgarde was or is to be compensated by the Company; (iii)
                relates to the business of the Company or to its actual or
                demonstrably anticipated research and development; or (iv)
                results, in whole or in part, from work performed by S.Westgarde
                for the Company.

<PAGE>

        d.      S.Westgarde will promptly disclose to the Company, or its
                nominee(s), without additional compensation, all Company-Related
                Trade Secrets.

        e.      S.Westgarde will assist the Company, at the Company's expense,
                in protecting any intellectual property rights that may be
                available anywhere in the world for such Company-Related Trade
                Secrets, including signing U.S. or foreign patent applications,
                oaths or declarations relating to such patent applications, and
                similar documents.

        f.      To the extent that any Company-Related Trade Secret is eligible
                under applicable law to be deemed a "WORK MADE FOR HIRE," or
                otherwise to be owned automatically by the Company, it will be
                deemed as such, without additional compensation to S.Westgarde.
                In some jurisdictions, S.Westgarde may have a right, title, or
                interest ("RIGHT," including without limitation all right,
                title, and interest arising under patent law, copyright law,
                trade-secret law, or otherwise, anywhere in the world, including
                the right to sue for present or past infringement) in certain
                Company-Related Trade Secrets that cannot be automatically owned
                by the Company. In that case, if applicable law permits
                S.Westgarde to assign S.Westgarde's Right(s) in future
                Company-Related Trade Secrets at this time, then S.Westgarde
                hereby assigns any and all such Right(s) to the Company, without
                additional compensation to S.Westgarde; if not, then S.Westgarde
                agrees to assign any and all such Right(s) in any such future
                Company-Related Trade Secrets to the Company or its nominee(s)
                upon request, without additional compensation to S.Westgarde.

        g.      Non-competition. As a condition to, and in consideration of, the
                Company's entering into this Agreement, and giving S.Westgarde
                access to certain confidential and proprietary information,
                which S.Westgarde recognizes is valuable to the Company and,
                therefore, its protection and maintenance constitutes a
                legitimate interest to be protected by the provisions of this
                Section 4 as applied to S.Westgarde and other employees
                similarly situated to S.Westgarde, and for ten dollars ($10) and
                other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
                sufficiency of which S.Westgarde hereby acknowledges,
                S.Westgarde acknowledges and hereby agrees as follows:

                i.      that S.Westgarde is and will be engaged in the business
                        of the Company;

                ii.     that S.Westgarde has occupied a position of trust and
                        confidence with the Company prior to the Effective Date,
                        and that during the period of S.Westgarde's Employment
                        under this Agreement, S.Westgarde has, and will, become
                        familiar with the Company's trade secrets and with other
                        proprietary and confidential information concerning the
                        Company;

<PAGE>

                iii.    that the obligations of this Agreement are directly
                        related to the Employment and are necessary to protect
                        the Company's legitimate business interests; and that
                        the Company's need for the covenants set forth in this
                        Agreement is based on the following: (i) the substantial
                        time, money and effort expended and to be expended by
                        the Company in developing oil and gas investment,
                        acquisition, exploration and drilling opportunities
                        technology development related to TigeroLynk and similar
                        confidential information; (ii) the fact that S.Westgarde
                        will be personally entrusted with the Company's
                        confidential and proprietary information; (iii) the fact
                        that, after having access to the Company's data and
                        other confidential information, S.Westgarde could become
                        a competitor of the Company; and (iv) the highly
                        competitive nature of the Company's industry, including
                        the premium that competitors of the Company place on
                        acquiring proprietary and competitive information; and

                iv.     that for a period commencing on the Effective Date and
                        ending twelve (12) months following Termination as
                        provided in Section 9, S.Westgarde will not, directly or
                        indirectly, serve as employee, agent, consultant,
                        stockholder, director, co-partner or in any other
                        individual or representative capacity, own, operate,
                        manage, control, engage in, invest in or participate in
                        any manner in, act as consultant or advisor to, render
                        services for (alone or in association with any person,
                        firm, corporation or entity), or otherwise assist any
                        person or entity that directly or indirectly engages or
                        proposes to engage in (i) competing with the Company on
                        technology development relating to TigeroLynk or
                        exploration or development of any oil and gas leases
                        within one (1) mile of any seismic line acquired,
                        purchased or shot for the Company or (ii) within one (1)
                        mile of any oil and gas property owned and operated by
                        the Company (iii) S.Westgarde further agrees that he
                        will not engage or cause or assist any third party to
                        engage in the exploration, leasing, development, or
                        marketing of any Prospects or leasehold interests within
                        one (1) mile of any Company owned or operated
                        properties; provided, however

                v.      that nothing contained herein shall be construed to
                        prevent S.Westgarde from investing in the stock or
                        securities of any competing corporation listed on any
                        recognized national securities exchange or traded in the
                        over the counter market in the United States, but only
                        if (i) such investment is of a totally passive nature
                        and does not involve S.Westgarde devoting time to the
                        management or operations of such corporation and
                        S.Westgarde is not otherwise involved in the business of
                        such corporation; and if (ii) S.Westgarde and his
                        associates (as such term is defined in Regulation 14(A)
                        promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
                        as in effect on the Effective Date), collectively, do
                        not own, directly or indirectly, more than an aggregate
                        of two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock or
                        securities of such corporation.

5.      Legal Fees and Expenses.
<PAGE>

        a.      In the event of a lawsuit, arbitration, or other
                dispute-resolution proceeding between the Company and
                S.Westgarde arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the
                prevailing party, in the proceeding as a whole and/or in any
                interim or ancillary proceedings (e.g., opposed motions,
                including without limitation motions for preliminary or
                temporary injunctive relief) will be entitled to recover its
                reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses unless the court or
                other forum determines that such a recovery would not serve the
                interests of justice.

6.      Successors.

        a.      This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
                (i) the Company and its successors and assigns; (ii) S.Westgarde
                and S.Westgarde's heirs and legal representatives, except that
                S.Westgarde's duties and responsibilities under this Agreement
                are of a personal nature and can only be assignable or delegable
                in whole or in part with the Company's written permission; and
                (iii) S.Westgarde Parties as provided in Section 8.

        b.      The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
                indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, Acquisition,
                acquisition of the controlling interest of the Company's common
                stock or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
                and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to
                perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent
                that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
                succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "THE
                COMPANY" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any
                successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which
                assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of
                law, or otherwise.

7.      Arbitration.

        a.      Except as set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 7 or to the
                extent prohibited by applicable law, any dispute, controversy or
                claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be
                submitted to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in
                accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of
                Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association in
                effect on the date of the demand for arbitration. If a dispute
                should arise under this Agreement, either party may, within
                sixty (60) days after the dispute arises, make a demand for
                arbitration by sending a demand in writing to the other. The
                question(s) to be decided by the arbitrators shall be stated in
                writing in the written request for arbitration and the
                jurisdiction of the arbitrators shall be limited to a decision
                of the question so stated in writing.

<PAGE>

        b.      The parties may agree upon one arbitrator, but in the event they
                cannot do so within fifteen days, there shall be three
                arbitrators, one named in writing by each of the parties within
                thirty days after the demand for arbitration is made, and a
                third to be chosen by the two so named within the following
                fifteen days. There shall be no communication between any party
                and an arbitrator other than at oral hearings or in documents
                that are currently provided to the parties by certified mail or,
                if the documents are presented during the hearing, by hand
                delivery.

        c.      Arbitration shall take place before the arbitrator, who will
                preferably but not necessarily be a lawyer but who shall have at
                least fifteen (15) years' of business experience in working in
                energy or technology development or with oil and gas exploration
                and production companies. The arbitration may proceed in the
                absence of any party that, after due notice, fails to be
                present. An award shall not be made solely on the default of a
                party. The arbitrators shall require the party who is present to
                submit such evidence as the arbitrators may require for the
                making of an award.

        d.      Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitration shall
                take place in Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Canada where
                S.Westgarde's principal office space is located at the time of
                the dispute or was located at the time of Termination of the
                Employment (if applicable). The arbitrator is hereby directed to
                take all reasonable measures not inconsistent with the interests
                of justice to expedite, and minimize the cost of, the
                arbitration proceedings. The award shall be made promptly and,
                unless otherwise agreed by all the parties, no later than thirty
                days from the date of closing of the arbitration hearing. If
                there is only one arbitrator, his decision shall be binding and
                conclusive on the parties. If there are three arbitrators, the
                decision of any two shall be binding and conclusive.

        e.      To protect inventions, trade secrets, or other confidential
                information of Section 3, and/or to enforce the non-competition
                provisions of Section 4, the Company may seek temporary,
                preliminary, and/or permanent injunctive relief in a court of
                competent jurisdiction, in each case, without waiving its right
                to arbitration.

        f.      At the request of either party, the arbitrator may take any
                interim measures s/she deems necessary with respect to the
                subject matter of the dispute, including measures for the
                preservation of confidentiality set forth in this Agreement.

        g.      Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
                entered in any court having jurisdiction.

8.      Indemnification.
<PAGE>

        a.      The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless S.Westgarde,
                his nominees and/or assigns (a reference in this Section 8 to
                S.Westgarde also includes a reference to S.Westgarde's nominees
                and/or assigns) against any and all losses, claims, damages,
                obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs,
                expenses and disbursements (incurred in any and all actions,
                suits, proceedings and investigations in respect thereof and any
                and all legal and other costs, expenses and disbursements in
                giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a
                subpoena or otherwise), including without limitation, the costs,
                expenses and disbursements, as and when incurred, of
                investigating, preparing or defending any such action, suit,
                proceeding or investigation that is in any way related to
                S.Westgarde's employment with the Company (whether or not in
                connection with any action in which the S.Westgarde is a party).
                Such indemnification does not apply to acts performed by
                S.Westgarde, which are criminal in nature or a violation of law.
                The Company also agrees that S.Westgarde shall not have any
                liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort, or
                otherwise) to the Company, for, or in connection with, the
                engagement of the S.Westgarde under the Agreement, except to the
                extent that any such liability resulted primarily and directly
                from S.Westgarde's gross negligence and willful misconduct.

        b.      These indemnification provisions shall be in addition to any
                liability which the Company may otherwise have to S.Westgarde or
                the persons indemnified below in this sentence and shall extend
                to the following: the S.Westgarde, his affiliated entities,
                partners, employees, legal counsel, agents, and controlling
                persons (within the meaning of the federal securities laws), and
                the officers, directors, employees, legal counsel, agents, and
                controlling persons of any of them (collectively, the
                "S.WESTGARDE PARTIES").

        c.      If any action, suit, proceeding or investigation is commenced,
                as to which any of the S.Westgarde parties propose
                indemnification under the Agreement, they shall notify the
                Company with reasonable promptness; provided however, that any
                failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company
                from its obligations hereunder. The S.Westgarde Parties shall
                have the right to retain counsel of their own choice (which
                shall be reasonably acceptable by the Company) to represent
                them, and the Company shall pay fees, expenses and disbursements
                of such counsel; and such counsel shall, to the extent
                consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate
                with the Company and any counsel designated by the Company. The
                Company shall be liable for any settlement of any claim against
                the S.Westgarde Parties made with the Company's written consent,
                which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company
                shall not, without the prior written consent of the party
                seeking indemnification, which shall not be reasonably withheld,
                settle or compromise any claim, or permit a default or consent
                to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, unless such
                settlement, compromise or consent includes, as an unconditional
                term thereof, the giving by the claimant to the party seeking
                indemnification of an unconditional release from all liability
                in respect of such claim.
<PAGE>

        d.      The indemnification provided by this Section 8 shall not be
                deemed exclusive of, or to preclude, any other rights to which
                those seeking indemnification may at any time be entitled under
                the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, any law,
                agreement or vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or
                otherwise, or under any policy or policies of insurance
                purchased and maintained by the Company on behalf of
                S.Westgarde, both as to action in his Employment and as to
                action in any other capacity.

        e.      S.Westgarde shall be entitled to reasonable expenses (including
                court costs and attorneys' fees) incurred by S.Westgarde, if
                S.Westgarde serves as a witness or is threatened to be made a
                named defendant or respondent in a threatened, pending or
                completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
                administrative, arbitrative or investigative, any appeal in such
                an action, suit or proceeding, and any inquiry or investigation
                that could lead to such an action, suit or proceeding (each a
                "PROCEEDING"), shall be paid by the Company at reasonable
                intervals in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding
                after receipt by the Company of:

                i.      a written affirmation by S.Westgarde of his good faith
                        belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary
                        for indemnification by the Company; and

                ii.     a written undertaking by or on behalf of the S.Westgarde
                        to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company if
                        it shall ultimately be determined that he is not
                        entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Such written
                        undertaking shall be an unlimited obligation of the
                        S.Westgarde but need not be secured and it may be
                        accepted without reference to financial ability to make
                        repayment.

        f.      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8, the
                Company may pay or reimburse expenses incurred by S.Westgarde in
                connection with his appearance as a witness or other
                participation in a Proceeding at a time when he is not named a
                defendant or respondent in the Proceeding.

        g.      Neither Termination nor completion of the Employment shall
                effect these indemnification provisions which shall then remain
                operative and in full force and effect.

9.      Termination

        a.      This Agreement and the employment relationship created hereby
                will terminate (i) upon the disability or death of S.Westgarde
                under Section 9 (b) or 9 (c); (ii) with cause under Section 9
                (d); (iii) for good reason under Section 9 (e); or (iv) without
                cause under Section 9 (f).

        b.      Disability. The Company shall have the right to terminate the
                employment of S.Westgarde under this Agreement for disability in
                the event S.Westgarde suffers an injury, illness, or incapacity
                of such character as to prevent him from performing his duties
                without reasonable accommodation by S.Westgarde hereunder for a
                period of more than thirty (30) consecutive days upon Company
                giving at least thirty (30) days written notice of termination.

<PAGE>

        c.      Death: This Agreement will terminate on the Death of
                S.Westgarde.

        d.      With Cause: The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time
                because of, (i) the conviction of S.Westgarde of an act or acts
                constituting a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude,
                dishonesty or theft or fraud; or (ii) S.Westgarde's gross
                negligence in the performance of his duties hereunder.

        e.      Good Reason. The S.Westgarde may terminate his employment for
                "GOOD REASON" by giving Company ten (10) days written notice if:

                i.      he is assigned, without his express written consent, any
                        duties materially inconsistent with his positions,
                        duties, responsibilities, or status with Company as of
                        the date hereof, or a change in his reporting
                        responsibilities or titles as in effect as of the date
                        hereof;

                ii.     (ii) his compensation is reduced; or

                iii.    The Company does not pay any material amount of
                        compensation due hereunder and then fails either to pay
                        such amount within the ten (10) day notice period
                        required for termination hereunder or to contest in good
                        faith such notice. Further, if such contest is not
                        resolved within thirty (30) days, the Company shall
                        submit such dispute to arbitration under Section 7.

        f.      Without Cause. Company may terminate this Agreement without
                cause.

        g.      Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant
                to a resolution duly adopted by the Company's Board of Directors
                or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be
                conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by
                S.Westgarde in good faith and in the best interests of the
                Company and thus shall not be deemed grounds for Termination for
                Cause under Section 9 above.

10.     Obligations of Company Upon Termination.

        a.      In the event of the termination of S.Westgarde's employment
                pursuant to Section 9 (a), S.Westgarde will be entitled to a one
                time lump sum payment equal to two hundred 200% of the full
                Yearly Salary (plus life insurance or disability benefits),
                which payment shall be payable to S.Westgarde within thirty (30)
                days of the Company's written notice of termination to be
                provided to S.Westgarde under Section 9 (a), above.
<PAGE>

        b.      In the event of the termination of S.Westgarde's employment
                pursuant to Section 9 (b) or (c), S.Westgarde will be entitled
                only to the compensation earned by him hereunder as of the date
                of such termination (plus life insurance or disability
                benefits).

        c.      In the event of the termination of S.Westgarde's employment
                pursuant to Section 9 (d) or (f), S.Westgarde will be entitled
                to receive as severance pay, a one time lump sum payment equal
                to 200% of the full Yearly Salary, in addition to all payments
                of salary earned through the date of termination, which shall be
                immediately due and payable. Provided however that any payment
                of severance under this Section 10 is contingent upon execution
                of a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release releasing the
                Company from any and all obligations under this Agreement.

        d.      In the event of termination of S.Westgarde's employment, the
                indemnification provisions of Section 8. Indemnification, shall
                survive the termination of the S.Westgarde in respect to ongoing
                obligations of the Company to pay legal and other costs in any
                action, suit, proceeding or investigation in accordance with

                person or sent to S.Westgarde's then-current mailing address as

                or under any circumstances, is adjudicated to be invalid or
                unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or
                unenforceability will not affect any other provision or
                application of this Agreement which can be given effect without
                the invalid or unenforceable provision or application and will
                not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision or
                application in any other jurisdiction.

                of the United States of America and the laws of the State of

                provision.
