that no Co-Owner or the Manager shall be required to disclose any proprietary
information or any trade secrets. Each Co-Owner shall be entitled, at its own

4.8 Use of Interest in Premises

Each Co-Owner shall make available exclusively for the purposes
of the Common Operation its Interest, on the terms and conditions set forth
herein.

Each Co-Owner shall have the right to take in kind and
separately dispose of its Proportionate Share of all coal and coal by-products
produced by the Common Operation from the Premises at their highest state of
beneficiation on the Premises (the Products), and for that purpose shall take
delivery of its share of the Products as the same are produced and placed in the
storage facilities for its account. Any Co-Owner who intends to take delivery of
its share of the Products shall give sixty (60) days advance notice of such
intention to the Manager. Individual ownership of its share of said Products
shall pass to each Co-Owner concurrently with the taking of delivery thereof in
kind. If, after reasonable notice by the Manager, any Co-Owner (other than the
Manager, if a Co-Owner) shall fail to make the arrangements necessary to take in
kind or separately dispose of its share of said Products, the Manager may
purchase for its own account or sell to others for such Co-Owners account such
share at not less than the fair market price then prevailing for such Products.
Any sales proceeds received by the Manager for the share of such Co-Owner shall,
after deduction by the Manager of its reasonable fees and costs of sale, be
distributed, and accounted for monthly, to such Co-Owner independently of the
Common Operation accounting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Co-Owners may,
upon mutual agreement at any time and from time to time, jointly sell or
otherwise dispose of their respective shares of the Products and make such
arrangements in connection therewith as they deem mutually advisable, without in
any way causing them to be deemed to be in partnership. The proceeds from such
joint sales shall be dealt with in accordance with section 8.2(g).

ARTICLE 5RELATIONSHIP OF THE
PARTIES

5.1 Several Obligations

The rights and obligations of each Co-Owner shall be in every
case several and neither joint nor joint and several.

5.2 Co-Owners Relationship

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute any
Co-Owner, in its capacity as such, the partner, agent or legal representative of
any other Co-Owner, or to create any fiduciary relationship between them, for
any purpose whatsoever.

5.3 Indemnification

To the extent that any liability to any third person, asserted
upon the ground that action taken under this Agreement has resulted in or will
result in loss or damage to such third person, is paid by the Carbon Creek
Partnership, Coalhunter shall indemnify and hold the Carbon Creek Partnership
harmless. The term liability as used in this section 5.3 shall mean any
liability determined finally by any court of competent jurisdiction or any duly
constituted judicial or administrative tribunal or a liability which has been
admitted by Coalhunter.

5.4 Other Business Activities of Co-Owners

Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict in any way the freedom of
any Co-Owner, except with respect to its Interest in the Premises, to conduct as
it sees fit any business or activity whatsoever, whether in competition with the
Carbon Creek Joint Venture or otherwise, including the exploration for, or the
development, mining, production or marketing of coal and coal by-products,
without any accountability to the other Co-Owners. In particular, no Co-Owner
which is the owner or operator of another coal property, beneficiation plant or
other facility shall be obliged to beneficiate or otherwise handle any coal or
coal by-products from the Premises or otherwise deal with the Carbon Creek Joint
Venture. The Manager, in its capacity as owner or operator of another mining
property, beneficiation plant or other facility, and any Affiliate of the
Manager, may contract or enter into other arrangements with the Carbon Creek
Joint Venture provided that at the time of formation of such contract or
arrangement the terms thereof, including the allocation of revenues, costs, obligations and liabilities, are

5.5 Operation with other Properties

Except as provided in section 5.6, if the Premises are brought
into commercial production, the Premises shall not be operated as a single
operation with other mining properties owned by third parties or in which the
Manager or a Co-Owner has an interest.

5.6 Single Operation with Peace River Partnership
Lands

If the Premises are brought into production, the Premises may
be operated as a single operation with the Peace River Partnership Lands, in
which event the parties agree that (notwithstanding separate ownership thereof)
coal mined from the Premises may be blended at the time of mining or at any time
thereafter with coal mined from the Peace River Partnership Lands, provided,
however, that the respective mining properties shall bear and have allocated to
them their proportionate part of costs incurred relating to the bringing of such
single operation into commercial production and thereafter operating the same,
and shall have allocated to each of them the proportionate part of the revenues
earned relating to such single operation. In making any such allocation, effect
shall be given to the tonnages and location of coal and other material mined and
beneficiated and the characteristics of such coal, and to any special charges
relating particularly to coal or coal by-products or the treatment thereof
derived from, either such property. The Manager shall ensure that reasonable
practices and procedures are adopted and employed for weighing, determining
moisture content, sampling and assaying and determining recovery factors.

5.7 Commingling

Except as provided in section 5.6, coal produced from the
Premises shall not be commingled with coal produced from any other property
without the prior written consent of the Carbon Creek Partnership, which consent
shall be in the sole discretion of the Carbon Creek Partnership, provided
that:

| | (a) | Coalhunter shall have the right to blend coal from the
      Premises with coal extracted from other properties if the effect of such
      commingling is consistent with the intention of enhancing the value of the
      coal produced from the Premises; and                                                              
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |     |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
| | (b) | Coalhunter shall not wash, process or treat coal
      extracted from any property other than the Premises at any facility
      established under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
      Carbon Creek Partnership, which consent shall be in the sole discretion of
      the Carbon Creek Partnership.

In the event of any such commingling under this section 5.7 of
coal produced from the Premises with coal produced from any other property, the
respective mining properties shall bear and have allocated to them their
proportionate part of costs incurred relating to the treatment, shipping and
marketing of such commingled coal, and shall have allocated to each of them the
proportionate part of the revenues earned relating to such commingled coal. In
making any such allocation, effect shall be given to the tonnages of coal and other
material beneficiated and commingled and the characteristics of such coal, and
to any special charges relating particularly to coal or coal by-products or the
treatment thereof derived from, either such property. The Manager shall ensure
that reasonable practices and procedures are adopted and employed for weighing,
determining moisture content, sampling and assaying and determining recovery
factors.

ARTICLE 11WITHDRAWAL

11.1 Election to Withdraw

If any Co-Owner wishes to withdraw from the Common Operation
(other than as provided in section 10.2), it shall give the other Co-Owner one
hundred and eighty (180) days notice of its wish to do so and shall offer to
convey its Interest to the other Co-Owner for one dollar ($1.00). If the other
Co-Owner does not purchase such Interest within the said period and assume the
offerors liabilities as hereinafter provided, this Agreement shall be deemed
terminated and the Manager shall cease operation of the Common Operation and
shut down the Premises in accordance with section 8.2(j) hereof, upon the expiry
of the said one hundred and eighty (180) day period, or such other period to
which the Co-Owner may agree. Any transfer of an Interest to be made by the
withdrawing Co-Owner shall be without warranty of title other than the covenant
of the withdrawing Co-Owner that previous to the time of execution of such
transfer it has not transferred its Interest, or any part thereof or interest
therein, except as required or permitted by this Agreement, to any other person
and that its Interest at the time of the execution of such transfer is free from
any Encumbrance done, made or suffered by it or any person claiming under it.
Upon the making of such transfer, the withdrawing Co-Owner shall have no further
Interest or rights with reference to the Common Operation and the ownership as
tenant in common of the Premises and shall be released, indemnified and held
harmless by the remaining Co-Owner from all liabilities of the Common Operation
thereafter accruing, but shall remain liable:

      Agreement theretofore accrued;

| | (b) | in the case of Coalhunter, for the performance of all
      obligations, including all costs and expenses pursuant to any Work Plan
      previously approved by the Management Committee but incurred after the
      effective date of such withdrawal, but not in excess of the most recent
      cost estimates thereof; and

      security sufficient for, the cost of ultimate reclamation, remediation,
      pollution controls and shut-down of the Premises pursuant to its
      obligations referred to in Article 18. If the Co-Owners are unable to
      agree on the amount of security, the same shall be determined by a single
      arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Act(British
      Columbia).

A withdrawing Co-Owner under sections 10.2 and 11.1 shall be
entitled to all information acquired in the conduct of the Common Operation
prior to such withdrawal and pursuant to any Work Plan of which the withdrawing
Co-Owner has duly paid its Proportionate Share of costs and expenses, including
copies of maps, data and reports which can be reproduced and which have not
theretofore been furnished to such withdrawing Co-Owner, but such withdrawing
Co-Owner shall for a period for two (2) years from the date of such withdrawal
or the completion of the aforementioned Work Plan, whichever is the later, hold

other with a copy of any news release proposed to be published by such Co-Owner
prior to publication of the same for the other Co-Owners consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in view of any timely disclosure
obligations which may be applicable. Each Co-Owner shall use all reasonable
efforts to respond to any request for consent by the other Co-Owner within two
(2) Business Days. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this section 17.3
shall prevent a Co-Owner from complying with its obligations under applicable

18.1 Reclamation Fund

Upon the commencement of commercial production from the
Premises, the Manager shall establish a fund (the Reclamation Fund) to be
maintained as a separate, escrow account, for the purpose of paying all costs of
environmental, reclamation, remediation, pollution control, decommissioning,
shut-down and other similar costs and liabilities (collectively the Reclamation
Costs) that may arise from time to time as a result of the operation of a mine
on the Premises. At the time the Reclamation Fund is established, the Manager,
in good faith, shall estimate the amount of money required to pay the
Reclamation Costs throughout the life of the mine and, based upon the estimated
life of the mine, the amount of money (the Reclamation Assessment) that will
be required to be contributed by Coalhunter on an annual basis, or from time to
time in the case of special or unexpected Reclamation Costs, in order to
establish and maintain the Reclamation Fund. Coalhunter shall pay the
Reclamation Assessment into a segregated account with a chartered bank within
thirty (30) days from the time of such assessment. The Manager shall in its
reasonable discretion accept security in lieu of such payment being made in
cash. Coalhunter shall not be entitled to a refund of any Reclamation
Assessments (or security in lieu thereof) upon ceasing to be a Co-Owner under
this Agreement.

18.2 Annual Review

At least once each year throughout the term of this Agreement,
the Manager shall review the estimates of the amount of Reclamation Costs that
will then be necessary, based upon the information then available, and may
adjust the size of the Reclamation Fund and the Reclamation Assessment
accordingly. If the Manager determines, acting reasonably, that there are excess
moneys in the Reclamation Fund, it shall disburse such excess to Coalhunter.

18.3 Submissions by Co-Owners

The Manager shall, prior to the time it establishes the
Reclamation Fund and prior to each annual review thereof, give notice to the
Co-Owners that it is considering or reconsidering the matter of the Reclamation
Fund and invite the Co-Owners to submit any information or ideas they may have
relating to the same. The Manager shall consider any such information or ideas
that are submitted to it within thirty (30) days of its notice aforesaid,
although any decisions to be made by the Manager with respect to the subject
matter hereof are solely within its own powers.

ARTICLE 19INDEMNITIES

19.1 Indemnification by Partnership

The Carbon Creek Partnership shall indemnify and save harmless
Coalhunter and its Representatives (collectively the Coalhunter Indemnified
Parties) from and against any and all Losses of every kind whatsoever, whether
direct or indirect, which at any time or from time to time are directly or
indirectly incurred or suffered by any of the Coalhunter Indemnified Parties in
connection with, as a result of or arising out of:

      respect of revenue earned as a result of costs described in this
      subparagraph (v) shall be deemed a cost incurred for the purpose of this
      subparagraph (v) unless the amount in paragraph 2(b) represents a

      reduction of the funding requirements for
reclamation;

      Production, all subsequent reasonable costs of obtaining financing, costs
      of financing and costs of providing security incurred by Coalhunter in

      this paragraph 2 of this Schedule, including an amount equal to interest
      on the monies utilized by Coalhunter out of its own available cash
      resources for the payment of such costs at the best rate available to
      Coalhunter for Canadian currency financing of such costs through a
      chartered bank or banks in Canada. Any amount equal to interest on monies
      so utilized by Coalhunter shall accrue from the date on which the monies

| | (i) | for all years after the calendar year in respect of which
      the first payment of Net Proceeds is made in accordance with this
      Schedule, or which would otherwise be payable but for an amount offset
      against the amount due, 100% of negative Net Proceeds of the prior
      calendar year, if any;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

provided that with respect to both the
items which make up revenue and those that make up the deductions, there shall
be no duplication of items relating to the same transaction.

|3. | No percentage of Net Proceeds shall be paid hereunder
      until, subject to the provisos of paragraph 2 and paragraphs 4, 5, 6 and 7
      below, the cumulative total, since the effective date of the Agreement, of
      revenue described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph 2 of this
      Schedule exceeds the cumulative total of costs described in subparagraphs
      (c) to (i) inclusive thereof. In the calendar year during which Net
      Proceeds are generated for the first payment of a percentage of Net
      Proceeds in accordance with this paragraph or which would otherwise be
      payable but for an amount offset against the amount due, only those
      revenues and costs, described in the aforesaid subparagraphs (a) to (i)
      inclusive, relating to that calendar year and arising after the said
      cumulative total of revenue exceeds the said cumulative total of costs,
      shall be included in the calculation of Net
Proceeds.

|4. | Coalhunter may not engage in price protection (hedging)
      or speculative transactions such as futures contracts and commodity
      options covering all or any part of production from the Premises without
      the prior written consent of the Carbon Creek Partnership, which consent
      will be in the sole discretion of the Carbon Creek Partnership. For
      greater certainty, a contract to supply coal to a purchaser for a term not
      exceeding one (1) year under which Production from the Premises is
      delivered to the purchaser shall not contravene this paragraph
4.

|5. | If the Premises are brought into Commercial Production,
      the Premises shall not be operated as a single operation with other mining
      properties owned by third parties or in which Coalhunter has an interest,
      provided that with the prior written approval of Coalhunter, the Carbon
      Creek Partnership and the Peace River Partnership, the Premises may be
      operated as a single operation with the Peace River Partnership Lands.
      Coal produced from the Premises shall not be commingled with coal produced
      from any other property, other than coal produced from the Peace River
      Partnership Lands, without the prior written consent of the Carbon Creek
      Partnership, which consent shall be in the sole discretion of the Carbon
      Creek Partnership. For greater certainty:

| | (a) | Coalhunter may blend coal from the Premises with coal
      extracted from other properties if the effect of such commingling is
      consistent with the intention of enhancing the value of the coal mined
      from the Premises; and

| | (b) | Coalhunter shall not wash, process or treat coal
      extracted from any property other than the Premises at any facility
      established under the Agreement without the prior written consent of the
      Carbon Creek Partnership, which consent shall be in the sole discretion of
      the Carbon Creek Partnership.

|6. | (a) | Where revenue otherwise to be included under this
      Schedule is earned by Coalhunter in a transaction with a party with whom

|7. | (a) | If Coalhunter sells, assigns or transfers all or part of
      Coalhunters interest in the Carbon Creek Joint Venture and the Premises
      (the Interest), having first offered such Interest to the Carbon Creek
      Partnership pursuant to section 10.2 of the Agreement, Coalhunter may, by
      giving notice to the Carbon Creek Partnership, elect to have the
      purchaser, assignee or transferee of all or such part of the Interest
      assume the contractual obligation to pay all or the appropriate pro rata
      portion of the percentage of Net Proceeds payable to the Carbon Creek
      Partnership pursuant to the Agreement, provided that the purchaser,
      assignee or transferee provides the written agreement assuming such
      contractual obligation to the Carbon Creek Partnership referred to in
      subparagraph 7(b) below effective upon such sale,
assignment or transfer. If Coalhunter gives the Carbon Creek
Partnership such notice of election as aforesaid (i) the Carbon Creek
Partnership shall perform such acts as shall be required to implement the sale,
transfer or assignment when requested by Coalhunter, and (ii) no amount for the
related sale, transfer or assignment price for all or such part of the Interest
shall be included as revenue, nor shall any related cost of the transaction
incurred by Coalhunter be treated as a deduction, for the purposes of paragraph
2 above. In this event, the purchaser, assignee or transferee shall succeed to
the position of Coalhunter from whom it is receiving all or part of the
Interest, as the case may be, and shall be deemed to have earned all or its pro
rata portion of the revenues earned by Coalhunter and to have incurred all costs
incurred by Coalhunter or deemed to have been incurred by Coalhunter under
paragraph 2. The purchaser, assignee or transferee shall not be entitled to
deduct the acquisition price paid as a cost incurred under paragraph 2.

| | (b) | No sale, assignment or transfer by Coalhunter of all or
      any part of the Interest may be completed pursuant to this paragraph 7
      unless and until the purchaser, assignee or transferee of all or part of
      the Interest delivers a written agreement with and for the benefit of the
      Carbon Creek Partnership, in a form satisfactory to the Carbon Creek
      Partnership, to assume and agree to pay and perform all or a pro rata
      portion of the liabilities and obligations of Coalhunter under the
      Agreement relating to the Carbon Creek Partnerships Carried Interest, as
      the case may be. Such assumption shall not serve to release or discharge
      Coalhunter from any liabilities or obligations theretofore accrued with

      Proceeds for the preceding year, accompanied by a review engagement report

      adjusted for the effect of inflation since the effective date of the
      Agreement and (ii) in the opinion of Coalhunter no positive Net Proceeds

|10. | The Carbon Creek Partnership may, on or before July 1 of
      any year and the twenty-four months thereafter, give written notice to
      Coalhunter requiring an audit. Coalhunter
shall then arrange for an audit to be carried out and a copy of the
auditors report shall be provided to Coalhunter and the Carbon Creek
Partnership promptly upon completion of the audit. The auditors report shall be
in the form set out in Appendix C-2 to this Schedule C and shall be subject to
such qualifications the auditor wishes to make, if any, and shall cover a period
no longer than three years ending on December 31 of the year immediately
preceding the year of the notice.

Appendix C-1 to Schedule C, Net Proceeds

Review Engagement Report

|To:     | Coalhunter Mining Corporation (Coalhunter)
|------- | --------------------------------------------
|        |                                             
|And To: | Carbon Creek Partnership (the Partnership)

At the request of the Partnership, we have reviewed the
calculation of Net Proceeds (as defined in Schedule C to the Carbon Creek
Joint Venture Agreement dated as of the 15th day of June, 2010 between the
Partnership and Coalhunter). Our review was made in accordance with generally
accepted standards for review engagements and accordingly consisted primarily of
enquiry, analytical procedures and discussion related to information supplied to
us by the Partnership.

A review does not constitute an audit and consequently we do
not express an opinion on the calculation of Net Proceeds.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that this calculation of Net Proceeds is not, in all
material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the Schedule to the
Agreement referred to above.

Auditors Report On Schedule of Net Proceeds

|To:     | Coalhunter Mining Corporation (Coalhunter)
|------- | --------------------------------------------
|        |                                             
|And To: | Carbon Creek Partnership (the Partnership)

We have audited the calculation of Net Proceeds (as defined in
Schedule C to the Carbon Creek Joint Venture Agreement dated as of June 15,
2010 between the Partnership and Coalhunter). This financial information is the
responsibility of the management of the Partnership. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on this financial information based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to
obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial information is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial information. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial information.

In our opinion, this calculation presents fairly, in all
material respects, the Net Proceeds of the Partnership for the year ended
December 31, 20•, in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule to the
Agreement referred to above.

|(c) | Remedies. The Carbon Creek Partnership
      acknowledges that a breach by it of any of the covenants contained in this
      Voting Trust would result in damage to Coalhunter and that Coalhunter may
      not be adequately compensated for such damages by monetary award alone.
      Accordingly, the Carbon Creek Partnership agrees that in the event of any
      such breach, in addition to any other remedies available at law or
      otherwise, Coalhunter shall be entitled as a matter of right to apply to a
      court of competent jurisdiction for relief by way of injunction,
      restraining order, decree or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure
      compliance by the Carbon Creek Partnership with the provisions of this
      Voting Trust. Any remedy expressly set out in this Voting Trust shall be
      in addition to and not inclusive of or dependent upon the exercise of any
      other remedy available at law or otherwise.
