      of Daybreak, and in such additional or other capacities and offices as may
      be
      assigned by the Board of Directors from time to time. The Employee warrants

      of

          Employment
            Agreement: 1 of 4

      Expenses. During the term of employment, Employee is entitled to
      reimbursement for reasonable business expenses incurred on behalf of Daybreak
      in
      accordance with the standard practice for the reimbursement policies and
      procedures established by Employer. All out-of-pocket expenses submitted for
      reimbursement, shall be done in a timely manner. Such timely manner shall be
      defined as the expense reimbursement request shall be received by Employer
      no
      later than sixty (60) days after the date of the expense receipt or the
      occurrence of such expense. Any expense receipt dated sixty (60) days earlier

      transaction date, the transaction amount can be charged back to the Employee
      or
      be deducted from the Employee’s next payroll check. Compensation provided
      Employee under this Agreement takes into account Employee's personal obligation
      to incur and pay certain additional expenses required of Employee as an employee
      of Employer for which Daybreak is under no obligation to reimburse
      Employee.

    

    8.

      Employee will be paid accrued unpaid salary prorated in accordance with
      Employer's general policies and procedures.

    

    9.
      Employer Business. All business revenues and fees produced or

      Employee will have no right to the business or to share in any revenues or
      fees
      resulting from the conduct of the business other than the compensation provided
      for in this Agreement.

      Disclosure Prohibited. Employee acknowledges that, in the course of
      this employment, Employee will become acquainted with confidential information
      belonging to Daybreak. Employee may not, at any time during the period of
      Employee's employment or thereafter, except as authorized in writing by
      Daybreak, directly or indirectly, use, disclose, reproduce, or in any other
      way

      Definition. "Confidential Information" means all information not
      generally known to the public, which relates to the business of Daybreak or

      gas
      plays, development information on oil and gas prospects, fundraising plans,
      customers and customer lists, pricing, contracts, costs and other financial
      information, merchandising and marketing techniques, inventions, plans
      specifications, and products disclosed to or known by Employee in connection
      with his employment by Employer.

    

    11.
      Protection of Daybreak Property. All records, files, manuals, lists of
      customers, blanks, forms, materials, supplies, computer programs, and other
      materials furnished to Employee by Daybreak, used on its behalf, or generated
      or
      obtained during the course of this employment remain the property of Daybreak.
      Employee is only a holder of this property for the sole use and benefit of
      Employer and will safely keep and preserve such property, except as consumed
      in
      the normal business operation of Employer. Upon termination of this employment,
      Employee will immediately deliver to Daybreak, or its authorized representative,
      all of Daybreak’s property, including all copies, remaining in Employee's
      possession or control.

    

    12.
      Remedies. The parties recognize that irreparable injury will result to
      Daybreak and its business and property if Employee breaches the covenant of
      confidentiality contained in Section 10 of this Agreement. It is agreed that
      if
      Employee breaches the covenant of confidentiality, Daybreak will be entitled
      to
      an injunction to restrain further breach of that covenant by Employee or any
      of
      Employee's partners, agents, employers and employees, or any persons acting
      for
      or with Employee, in addition to any other remedies Daybreak may
      have.

    

    13.
      Assignability. These contractual obligations of Employee are personal
      and neither the rights nor obligations under this Agreement may be assigned
      or
      transferred by Employee to any other person. This Agreement will bind and
      benefit any successor of Employer, whether by merger, sale of assets,
      reorganization or other form of business acquisition, disposition, or business
      reorganization.

    

    14.
      Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the
      parties. This Agreement may be changed only by a written document signed by
