 2.          Term
  

 This Agreement will be effective from January 1, 2003 and
  will remain in full force and effect until terminated as hereinafter provided.

 3.          Responsibility
  

 The Employee will devote one third of his working time to

- 2 -

 carry out such duties and responsibilities as are customarily

  in size to the Company and such additional and related duties as may from time
  to time be assigned, delegated, limited or determined by the President.

	 4.        Other
      Business Activities 
	 
	 It is agreed that the Employee's employment
        hereunder shall constitute one third of his working time which shall be
        devoted exclusively for the benefit of the Company, and therefore: 

	 
	 (a)      	 the Employee may engage in any other business
        activities, so long as such activities will not interfere with, or impede,
        in any significant manner the performance of his duties as Chief Operating
        Officer of the Company provided, however, that: 

	 
	 	 (i)      	 other than the business activities already
        disclosed to the President, before the Employee can engage in any such
        other business activity which involves the Employee owning or acquiring
        any interest, directly or indirectly, in any geothermal property or the
        rendering of any advice or service to another person, partnership or other
        legal entity or a joint venture engaged in the business of exploring for
        and/or developing geothermal resources the Employee must disclose full
        particulars thereof in writing to the President, and within 15 days after
        the date of such disclosure, the Employee must receive from the President
        a decision that such activities by the Employee will not, in the opinion
        of the President, interfere or be in conflict with the Employee's performance
        of his duties to the Company hereunder; 

	 
	 	  (ii)      
	before engaging in any such other business activity other than an investment

	 	 (iii)      	 an investment or acquisition of the kind
        described in sub-paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 4 does not include investment
        in publicly traded mining companies, where such investment does not constitute
        10%, either directly or after exercise of any share acquisition rights,
        of the issued capital of the company in question, nor a control position,
        nor part of a control block. 

	 
	 (b) 	the Employee shall refer to the President
        any and all matters and transactions in respect of which an actual or
        potential conflict of interest between the Employee and the Company has
        arisen or may arise, however remote the possibility, and the Employee
        shall not proceed with any such matter or transaction until the President's
        approval

        may elect to have any compensation payable hereunder paid into any jurisdiction
        of his choice, but the Company may decline to pay such compensation to
        the Employee at the place specified if the Company determines that such
        payment in such jurisdiction would violate the laws of the jurisdiction
        of the place of payment specified by the Employee or the laws of any other
        country or if the Company otherwise determines that payment to the Employee
        or for his account in such place would be prejudicial to the Company;
      

	 
	 (b)      	 the Company will grant the Employee incentive

        interfere with, or impede, in any significant manner the performance of
        his duties as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company provided,

        the last working day of the month. The Employee may elect to have any
        compensation payable hereunder paid into any jurisdiction of his choice,
        but the Company may decline to pay such compensation to the Employee at

        jurisdiction would violate the laws of the jurisdiction of the place of
        payment specified by the Employee or the laws of any other country or
        if the Company otherwise determines that payment to the Employee or for
        his account in such place would be prejudicial to the Company;

        from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003, specifically in respect of
        the reorganization which closed on December 19, 2003; the Employee shall
        receive a one-time consideration of 

 - 4 -

	 	 	$38,000. This consideration shall be paid with $5,000

        to January 1, 2003 Employee shall be paid a stipend in the amount of the
        invoices already submitted by Employee for 2001 and 2002. The cash stipend

  and documented expenses actually and necessarily incurred by the Employee in
  connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement. The Employee
  will furnish the Company with an itemized account of his expenses in such form
  or forms as may reasonably be required by the Company and at such times or intervals
  as may be required by the Company. 

 7.           Review
  of Agreement Upon Financial Close  

 Whereas the purpose of the organization of the Company is
  to commercially develop the Raft River, Idaho geothermal resource, it is mutually
  acknowledged that the working time commitment and compensation of the Employee
  may materially change upon procurement of a Power Purchase Agreement and the
  closing of a financial package to construct and commission an electrical generation
  facility. The Company shall request that the Executive Committee of the Board
  of Directors, within fifteen (15) working days of said close to review and if
  deemed appropriate replace this Employment Agreement with a new employment agreement.

  including injunctive relief, to restrain breach or threat of breach of this
  Agreement by the Employee or to enforce the covenants contained therein and,
  in particular, the covenants contained in Sections 10 and 11, in addition to
  rights the Company may have to damages arising from said breach or threat of
  breach. The Company, in turn, acknowledges that in seeking remedy in a court

  execution and performance of this Agreement will not result in or constitute

  or commitment, written or oral, express or implied, to which the Employee is
  currently a party or by which the Employee or Employee's property is currently
