include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,

information contained in or omitted from the Memorandum in reliance upon written
information furnished on behalf of the Placement Agent specifically for use
therein. Any additional written information authorized by the Company
to be provided to prospective purchasers shall not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated

herein, and the Company will indemnify the Placement Agent with respect to

agreement with anyone except as set forth in the Memorandum. The

are
so associated.
2.11. Contracts. Each
contract to which the Company is a party and to which reference is made in

Issue,
Sale and Delivery of the Units
3.01. Placement
Agent Appointment. The Company hereby appoints the Placement
Agent as its exclusive agent until July 10, 2006, which period may be extended
to July 18, 2006, by mutual consent of the Company and the Placement Agent
(the
"Escrow Date"), to solicit purchasers for 730,000 Units on a "best efforts,
all-or-none" basis and thereafter to solicit purchasers for an additional
1,2750,000 Units on a "best efforts" basis until the offering is terminated
as
provided herein; and the Placement Agent, on the basis of the representations
and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein
set forth, accepts such appointment and agrees to use its best efforts to find
purchasers for the Units at the price of $3.00 per Unit, provided that the
Company reserves the right to reject in good faith any prospective investor
("Investor") and no commission shall be payable to the Placement Agent in
respect of any proposed sale to any rejected Investor. No other
person will be or has been authorized to solicit purchasers for the Units,
except those persons selected by the Placement Agent. Each Investor
must subscribe for at least 10,000 Units ($30,000), and must certify to the
Company that such investor is an "Accredited Investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)
of Regulation D. Notwithstanding the above, the Company and the
Placement Agent may mutually agree to accept a subscription for fewer than
10,000 Units.
3.02. Escrow
Account. It is hereby agreed between the Company and the
Placement Agent that unless 730,000 Units ("Escrow Units") are sold and paid
for
by Investors by the Escrow Date, this Agreement shall automatically be
terminated and the entire proceeds received from the sale of the Units shall
be
returned to the Investors, without deduction therefrom or interest
thereon.

If
the
Escrow Units are sold by the Escrow Date, the Company and the Placement Agent
may continue the offering until all of the Units are sold or until they agree
to
terminate the offering. The proceeds from the sale of at least the
first 730,000 Units ($2,190,000) shall be promptly deposited in an escrow
account ("Escrow Account") entitled “Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. Escrow Account"
with AMG Guaranty Trust, N.A. (the "Escrow Agent"). The agreement
establishing the Escrow Account ("Escrow Agreement") shall be in form and
content satisfactory to counsel for the Placement Agent and the
Company. The proceeds from any sale of Units after the First Closing
(hereinafter defined) may continue to be deposited to the Escrow
Account. If the Escrow Account is not used for such purpose, the
Company promptly shall pay the commission provided in Section 3.05 and the
non-accountable expense allowance as provided in Section 3.07 to the Placement
Agent.
3.03. Subscription
Agreement. Each Investor desiring to purchase Units will be
required to complete and execute a Subscription Agreement and, if applicable,
other offering documents. The Placement Agent shall have the right to
review such documents for each Investor and to reject the tender of any Investor
that it deems not acceptable. All documents concerning any Investor
the Placement Agent has not rejected will be promptly forwarded to the Company
at the address set forth below. The Company, upon receipt of the
documents, will determine within three (3) business days whether it wishes
to
accept the Investor. Payment for the Units subscribed for in the
Subscription Agreements that have been accepted by the Company is to be
delivered to the Company on the Closing Date (as hereinafter
defined).
3.04. Subscription
Acceptance. The acceptance of subscriptions for Units tendered by
Investors will be conditional upon (i) the tendering of Subscriptions for at
least 650,000 Units ("Minimum Subscriptions") by the Escrow Date, and (ii)
the
receipt, on the Closing Date, of the net proceeds from subscribers for the
Minimum Subscriptions ("Minimum Payments") less commissions due the Placement
Agent as provided hereinafter. If subscriptions are received for more
than 2,000,000 Units, the Company may (a) accept subscriptions for up to an
additional 400,000 Units, and/or (b) accept one subscription over another and/or
(c) allocate available Units among subscribers as it deems
appropriate.
3.05. Compensation
of Placement Agent. In consideration for the Placement Agent's
execution of this Agreement, and for the performance of its obligations
hereunder, the Company agrees to pay the Placement Agent a commission of ten
percent (10%) of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the Units;
provided, in the event Minimum Subscriptions are not received or Minimum
Payments are not made and the offering is terminated, the Placement Agent shall
not receive any commission. Any commissions payable to the Placement
Agent under this paragraph shall be payable on the Closing Date or as otherwise
provided herein.
3.06. Non-Accountable
Expense Allowance. The Placement Agent shall receive a
non-accountable expense allowance equal three percent (3%) ($.09 per Unit)
of
the gross proceeds from Units sold and paid for, payable at each
Closing.
3.07. Payment. Payment
for Units sold shall be made by the Escrow Agent to the Company at such place
as
may be agreed on among the Company and the Placement Agent, at such a time
and
on such a date, as shall be fixed by agreement between the parties, which in
no
case shall be later than eight (8) days after the Sales Termination
Date. The delivery of the Units against payment therefore is defined
as the "Closing" and the time and date thereof are defined as the "Closing
Date." The first Closing Date will be held when the Minimum Payments
are received ("First Closing").

It
is
anticipated that there may be additional Closings as additional funds are
received, and the final Closing will be referred to as the "Final
Closing." The Final Closing could also be the First Closing in the
event that no Units are sold after the First Closing. As soon as
practicable after each Closing Date, the Company shall deliver by mail to each
Investor a certificate for the securities underlying the Units that have been
purchased and which contains a legend conforming to the requirements of Rule
502(d)(3) under the Act.
3.08. Obligations
of Placement Agent. The Company agrees that the obligations of
the Placement Agent under this Agreement: (i) shall not preclude the Placement
Agent from contemporaneously participating in the offering or underwriting
of
securities of other issuers; (ii) shall not impose any obligation on the
Placement Agent to require its registered representatives to offer or to sell
the Units, (iii) shall require the Placement Agent to make an effort to find
purchasers for the Units only to the extent the Placement Agent is motivated
to
do so by the compensation and other provisions of this Agreement, (iv) shall
not
otherwise limit or prevent the Placement Agent from carrying on its customary
business as a securities broker-dealer, and (v) shall not require the Placement
Agent to engage in any conduct which violates any law or industry standard
of

registration. A copy of all such filings shall be delivered to the
Placement Agent and counsel for the Placement Agent promptly prior to their
being filed.

subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Memorandum. The
Placement Agent shall commence making such offers as an agent for the Company

Dealers. The Placement Agent may offer and sell the Units for the

Agent may allow such concession (out of its commissions) as it may
determine. Such Agreement shall provide that the Selected Dealers are
acting as agents of the Company. On such sale or allotment by the

of the Act or any applicable state law; provided, however, that the indemnity

settlement of any such litigation if such settlements are effected without
the
consent of the Company, nor shall it apply to any Indemnified Persons in respect
of any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arising out of
or
based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any such
omission or alleged omission, if such statement or omission was made in reliance
upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Persons
specifically for use in connection with the preparation of the Memorandum or

Indemnified Persons within ten (10) days after the receipt of written notice
of
the commencement of any action against the Indemnified Persons shall notify
the
Company in writing of the commencement thereof. The failure to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have
to
an Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party did
not
otherwise have knowledge of the commencement of the action and the indemnifying
party’s ability to defend against the action was prejudiced by such
failure. Such failure shall not relieve the indemnifying party from
any other liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party. In
case any such action shall be brought against the Indemnified Persons of which
the Indemnified Persons shall have notified the Company of the commencement
thereof, the Company shall be entitled to participate in (and to the extent
that
it shall wish, to direct) the defense thereto at its own expense, but such
defense shall be conducted by counsel of recognized standing and reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Persons in such litigation. After
notice that the Company elects to direct the defense, the Company will not
be
liable for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Persons
without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company shall
not be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any litigation if such
settlement was effected without its consent.
7.03. Indemnification
by Placement Agent. The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, its agents, officers, directors, representatives,
guarantors, sureties and each person who controls the Company within the meaning
of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act
of
1934 from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses, joint or several, (including reasonable legal or other expenses
incurred by each such person in connection with defending or investigating
any
such claims or liabilities, whether or not resulting in any liability to such
person) which they or any of them may incur under the Act, or any state
securities law and the Rules and Regulations or the rules and regulations under
any state securities laws or any other statute or at common law or otherwise
and
to reimburse persons indemnified as above for any legal or other expense
(including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred by any of
them in connection with any litigation, whether or not resulting in any
liability, but only insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
litigation arise out of or are based upon any statement in or omission from
the
Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any application or other
document filed with the Commission or in any state or other jurisdiction in
order to qualify the Units under the securities laws thereof, or any information
furnished pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof, if such statements or omissions
were
made in reliance upon information furnished in writing to the Company by the
Placement Agent or on its behalf specifically for use in connection with the
preparation of the Memorandum or amendment or supplement thereto or application
or document filed. This indemnity agreement is in addition to any
other liability which the Placement Agent may otherwise have to the Company
and
other indemnified persons.
7.04. Notification
to Placement Agent. The Company and other Indemnified Persons
agree to notify the Placement Agent promptly of commencement of any litigation
or proceedings against the Placement Agent or other Indemnified Persons, in
connection with the offer and sale of any of the Units and to furnish to the
Placement Agent, at its request, copies of all pleadings therein and permit
the
Placement Agent to be an observer therein and apprise the Placement Agent of
all
developments therein, all at the Company's expense. In case of
commencement of any action in which indemnity may be sought from the Placement
Agent on account of the indemnity agreement contained in Section 7.03,

the
Company or other Indemnified Persons shall notify the Placement Agent of the
commencement thereof in writing within ten (10) days after the receipt of
written notice of the commencement of any action against the Company or against
any other person indemnified, shall notify the Placement Agent in writing of
such notification. The failure to notify the indemnifying party shall
not relieve it of any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party, except
to the extent that the indemnifying party did not otherwise have knowledge
of
the commencement of the action and the indemnifying party’s ability to defend
against the action was prejudiced by such failure. Such failure shall
not relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability that it may have
to
the Indemnified Party. . In case any such action shall be
brought against the Company or any other person indemnified of which the Company
shall have notified the Placement Agent of the commencement thereof, the
Placement Agent shall be entitled to participate in (and to the extent that
it
shall wish, to direct) the defense thereto at its own expense, but such defense
shall be conducted by counsel of recognized standing and reasonably satisfactory
to the Company or other persons indemnified in such litigation. After
notice that the Placement Agent elects to direct the defense, the Placement
Agent will not be liable for any legal or other expenses incurred by the
indemnified party without the prior written consent of the Placement
Agent. The Placement Agent shall not be liable for amounts paid in
settlement of any litigation if such settlement was effected without its
consent.
7.05. Indemnification
of Selected Dealers. The Company agrees to indemnify Selected
Dealers, if any, and its agents, officers, directors, representatives,
guarantors and sureties on substantially the same terms and conditions as it
indemnifies the Placement Agent and Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section
7.01
provided that each such Selected Dealer agrees in writing with the Placement
Agent to indemnify the Company and its agents, officers, directors,
representatives, guarantors and sureties on substantially the same terms and
conditions as the Placement Agent indemnifies the Company in Section
7.03. The Company hereby authorizes the Placement Agent to enter into
agreements with Selected Dealers providing for such indemnity by the
Company.
7.06. Contribution. If
the indemnification provided for in Sections 7.01, 7.03 and 7.05 is unavailable
to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under either such paragraph,
in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute
to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities: (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the
one
hand and by the Placement Agent or Selected Dealer on the other from the
offering and sale of the Units, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause
(i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Placement
Agent or Selected Dealer on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as
well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent or Selected
Dealer on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total
net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the
Company bears to the total commissions received by the Placement Agent or
Selected Dealer, as in each case set forth in the Memorandum. The
relative fault of the Company and of the Placement Agent or Selected Dealer
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue
or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Placement Agent
or
Selected Dealer and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.

The
Company and the Placement Agent
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable
by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed
to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 7, the Placement Agent shall not be required
to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
the Units sold by it and distributed exceeds the amount of any damages which
such Placement Agent otherwise has been required to pay by reason of such untrue
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution hereunder from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
7.07. Limitation
of Legal Expenses. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the indemnification for legal expenses included in Sections 7.01,
7.03
And 7.05 shall be limited to the legal expenses of one law firm, except in
the
event of a bona fide conflict of interest, in which event such legal expenses
shall be limited to the legal expenses of two law firms.
