                          JUDGMENT CONVERSION AGREEMENT

         This Judgment Conversion Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of August
1, 2006 by and between Quest Minerals & Mining Corp., a Utah corporation (the
"Company"), with its principal office at 18B East 5th Street, Paterson, NJ
07524, and Tarun Mendiratta (the "Creditor").

                                 R E C I T A L S
                                 - - - - - - - -
         A.       The Creditor is the assignee and holder of that certain
judgment (the "Judgment") dated May 20, 2005 entered in the action entitled
National City Bank of Kentucky vs. Gwenco, Inc., et. al. in the Circuit Court of
Boyd County, Kentucky, Case No. 04-CI-00369, in favor of Tarun Mendiratta, as
assignee (the "Creditor"), and against Gwenco, Inc., a Kentucky corporation
("Gwenco") and Quest Minerals & Mining, Ltd., a Nevada corporation ("Quest-NV"),
which Judgment has been guaranteed by the Company concurrently herewith.

         B.       The amount of the Judgment, including accrued interest, late
fees, attorney's fees, and costs is currently $449,534.18 (the "Principal
Amount"). Of this amount, $102,026.13 reflects principal, interest, and late
charges due under a Commercial Installment Note dated January 20, 2007, and
$294,546.07 reflects principal, interest, and late charges due under a
Commercial Time Note dated March 2, 2001.

         C.       $102,026.13 of the Judgment accrues interest at the rate of
12.75% per annum and $294,546.07 of the Judgment accrues interest at the rate of
9% per annum (the "Accrued Interest").

         D.       Gwenco and Quest-NV have defaulted on repayment of the
Judgment.

         D.       The Company and the Creditor desire that the Judgment be
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the "Common Stock") on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

                                - - - - - - - - -

         It is agreed as follows:

         1.       CONVERSION OF JUDGMENT.

         1.1.     Creditor's Conversion Rights. Subject to Section 1.2, the
Creditor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any
portion of the then aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of this Judgment,
together fees due hereon, and any sum arising thereunder, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Section at the rate of $0.001 per share of
Common Stock ("Fixed Conversion Price") as same may be adjusted pursuant to this

                                       1
<PAGE>

Agreement. The Creditor may exercise such right by delivery to the Company of a
written Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 1.3.

        1.2.      Conversion Limitation. The Creditor shall not be entitled to
convert on a Conversion Date (as defined in Section 1.3 below) that amount of
the Judgment in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which
would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Creditor and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, (ii)
any Common Stock issuable in connection with the unconverted portion of the
Judgment, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of the Judgment with respect to which the determination of this
provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial
ownership by the Creditor and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date. For
the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to
the foregoing, the Creditor shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of
only 4.99% and aggregate conversion by the Creditor may exceed 4.99%. The
Creditor shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the
restriction contained in this Section 1.2 will limit any conversion hereunder
and to the extent that the Creditor determines that the limitation contained in
this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Judgments are
convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Creditor. The
Creditor may waive the conversion limitation described in this Section 1.2, in
whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the
Company.

         1.3.     Mechanics of Creditor's Conversion.
                  ----------------------------------

                  (a)      In the event that the Creditor elects to convert any
amounts outstanding under this Judgment into Common Stock (any such shares
issued upon conversion, the "Conversion Shares"), the Creditor shall give notice
of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (a
"Notice of Conversion") to the Company, which Notice of Conversion shall provide
a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and
amounts being converted. The original Judgment is not required to be surrendered
to the Company until all sums due under the Judgment have been paid. On each
Conversion Date in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Creditor shall
make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and
fees as entered in its records. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is
delivered or telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof
shall be deemed a "Conversion Date." A form of Notice of Conversion to be
employed by the Creditor is annexed hereto as Exhibit B.

                  (b)      Pursuant to the terms of a Notice of Conversion, the
Company will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion
of counsel, if so required by the Company's transfer agent, and shall cause the
transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares
to the Creditor by crediting the account of the Creditor's designated broker
with the Depository Trust Corporation ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission ("DWAC") system within three (3) business days after receipt by

                                       2
<PAGE>

the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the "Delivery Date"). In the case of
the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege
shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon
such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by
the Company of the Notice of Conversion. The Creditor shall be treated for all
purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock, unless the
Creditor provides the Company written instructions to the contrary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company or its transfer agent
shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on the
Creditor's behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if a
registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of this Judgment is effective and the Creditor has
complied with all applicable securities laws in connection with the sale of the
Common Stock, including, without limitation, the prospectus delivery
requirements. In the event that Conversion Shares cannot be delivered to the
Creditor via DWAC, the Company shall deliver physical certificates representing
the Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date.

         1.4.     Conversion Mechanics.
                  --------------------

                  (a)      The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued
upon each conversion of this Judgment pursuant to this Section 1 shall be
determined by dividing that portion of the Principal Amount and interest and
fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.

                  (b)      The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of
shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this
conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

                           A.       Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If the Company
at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or
substantially all its assets to any other corporation, this Judgment, as to the
unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter
be deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or
other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on
account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect
to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior
to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall
similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such
successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such
successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.

                           B.       Reclassification, etc. If the Company at any
time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the
same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Judgment,
as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall
thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of
such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result
of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such
reclassification or other change.

                                       3
<PAGE>

                           C.       Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If
the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock
in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced
in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased
in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event
bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such event.

                           D.       Share Issuance. So long as this Judgment is
outstanding, if the Company shall issue any Common Stock, prior to the complete
conversion or payment of this Judgment, for a consideration less than the Fixed
Conversion Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then, and
thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Fixed Conversion Price
shall be reduced to such other lower issue price. For purposes of this
adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Company
carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock
or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an
adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price upon the issuance of the
above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option and again
upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or
purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable
Conversion Price

                  (c)      Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to
Section 1.4(b) above, the Company shall promptly mail to the Creditor a notice
setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

         1.5.     Reservation. During the period the conversion right exists,
the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock not less
than one hundred seventy-five percent (175%) of the number of shares to provide
for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Judgment. the
Company represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Company agrees that its issuance of
this Judgment shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and
transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon the conversion of this Judgment.

        1.6       Holding Period. The Company agrees and stipulates that, for
purposes of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), the Conversion Shares are deemed to have been acquired by the Creditor on
January 20, 1997 for Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of the portion of
the Judgment representing the Commercial Installment Note, on March 20, 2001 for
Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of the portion of the Judgment
representing the Commercial Time Note, and on August 1, 2006 for conversion of
the balance of the Judgment, pursuant to Rule 144(d)(3)(ii) of the Securities
Act.

         1.7      Judgment Schedule. The aggregate principal amount outstanding
under the Judgment will be conclusively evidenced by the schedule annexed as
Exhibit B hereto (the "Judgment Schedule"). Conversions hereunder shall have the

                                       4
<PAGE>

effect of lowering the outstanding amount of the Judgment Note plus all accrued
and unpaid interest thereunder in an amount equal to the applicable conversion,
which shall be evidenced by entries set forth in the Conversion Notice and the
Judgment Schedule. The Creditor and the Company agree to file, from time to time
and as reasonably requested by either party, appropriate documents in the
presiding circuit courts in the State of Kentucky to reflect the reductions to
the amounts due under the Judgment.

         2.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

         As a material inducement to the Creditor to enter into this Agreement
and to purchase the Unit, the Company represents and warrants that the following

         3.3      Restricted Securities.
                  ---------------------

                  3.3.1    The Creditor has been advised that the Conversion
         Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other
         applicable securities laws. The Creditor acknowledges that the
         Conversion Shares will be issued as "restricted securities" as defined
         by Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. The Conversion
         Shares may not be resold in the absence of an effective registration
         thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws
         unless, in the opinion of the Company's counsel, an applicable
         exemption from registration is available.

                  3.3.2    The Creditor understands and acknowledges that the
         Conversion Shares, when issued, will bear the following legend:

                  REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
                  THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN
                  ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED FOR
                  VALUE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF
                  UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND/OR THE SECURITIES ACT OF
                  ANY STATE HAVING JURISDICTION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
                  ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
                  REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR ACTS.

         4.3      Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto and
thereto, and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto and thereto,
constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties
with regard to the subjects hereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any
other party in any manner by any representations, warranties, covenants, or
agreements except as specifically set forth herein or therein. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, any rights,

remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement,
except as expressly provided herein.

         4.4      Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall to the extent practicable, be
modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable and to retain as nearly

enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

         4.5      Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, any
term of this Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term of this
Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either

indefinitely), with the written consent of the Company and the Creditor. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding
upon each future holder of any security purchased under this Agreement

                                ROYALTY AGREEMENT
                                -----------------

         THIS ROYALTY AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the 1st day of
August, 2006, by and between GWENCO, INC., a Kentucky corporation (hereinafter
called "Gwenco") and TARUN MENDIRATTA, an individual residing in Connecticut
(hereinafter called "Mendiratta").

                              W I T N E S S E T H :

         1.       Gwenco and Mendiratta, along with Quest Minerals & Mining
Corp. (parent company of Gwenco) and Quest Minerals & Mining, Ltd. have entered
into a Forbearance Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement"). Pursuant
to Section 2.1(a) thereof, and pursuant to this Royalty Agreement, Gwenco agrees
to pay Mendiratta fifty percent (50%) of all "Gross Profits" (as defined herein)
derived from the sales of all coal mined from any seam within five (5) miles of
Slater's Branch, Pike County, Kentucky (the "Mine Premises"), by Gwenco or its
parent or affiliated companies. The term "Gross Profit" shall be defined as
actual cash proceeds to Gwenco from the sale of coal mined from the Mine
Premises, less production costs incurred in connection with the sale of said
coal mined from the Mine Premises. Productions costs shall include the
following:

         (i)      Required payments to Gwenco's contract mine operator;
         (ii)     Black Lung payments;
         (iii)    Kentucky Severance payments;
         (iv)     Reclamation payments;
         (v)      Royalties (including, but not limited to, landowner
                  royalties);
         (vi)     Electricity to operate the mine;
         (vii)    Trucking costs to deliver coal mined from the Mine Premises;
         (viii)   Belt Move Material;
         (ix)     Office and Administrative expenses of Gwenco;
         (x)      Engineering expenses of Gwenco associated with the Mine
                  Premises;
         (xi)     Liability Insurance;
         (xii)    MSHA payments; and
         (xiii)   Other Miscellaneous items not to exceed $5,000 per month.

         2.       Payments shall be made directly to Mendiratta or his heirs,
assigns or designees, as Mendiratta shall direct.

         3.       The quantity of coal mined and removed by Gwenco or any other
party from the Mine Premises shall be determined by the applicable railroad
weight sheets or certified truck weight sheets furnished to Mendiratta or to any
other party by the railroad company over which said coal is transported to
market, by the trucking company employed for the purpose of transporting said
coal to market or by the purchaser of such coal produced. Gwenco shall keep, or

                                       1
<PAGE>

cause to be kept, accurate records of the amount of coal mined and removed by
them or any other party from the Mine Premises, and not later than the tenth
(10th) day of each calendar month during which mining operations are conducted
on the Mine Premises by Gwenco or any other party, either Quest or Gwenco shall
furnish to Mendiratta by hand-delivery to Mendiratta or by mail to Mendiratta at
85 Lords Highway East, Weston, CT 06883, a report in writing showing the total
number of net tons of coal so mined and removed from the Mine Premises by Gwenco
or any other party during the preceding month, together with copies of the
applicable truck or railroad weight sheets for said coal.

         Mendiratta and his duly authorized agents may, at all reasonable times,
examine the pertinent records of Quest or Gwenco including all railroad and
truck weight sheets and maps in order to verify the quantity and weight of said
coal. Should a party other than Quest or Gwenco be mining coal on the Mine
Premises, then Quest or Gwenco shall cause any agreement relating to such mining
to provide appropriate provisions so that the provisions of this Agreement with
respect to the providing and auditing of mining information can be properly
enforced by Mendiratta. On or before April 15, July 15, October 15 and January
15 of each year during the term of this Agreement, Quest or Gwenco shall provide
Mendiratta with a progress report regarding any mining operations on the Mine
Premises during the prior three (3) month period. Each progress report shall
include such information, statistics, maps and plats as may from time to time be
specified by Mendiratta.

         4.       The Mine Premises described above and to which this Agreement
pertains shall specifically include, but shall not be limited to, any coal mined
from properties currently under lease to Gwenco at Slater's Branch, Pike County,
Kentucky, which are identified by reference to the following leases and/or
