This is an offer to sell securities of Liberty Coal Energy ("Company") to the

Diligence meeting the satisfaction of the Investor(s), obtaining appropriate
legal opinions and signing of the completed Transaction Documents.
THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE COMMON SHARES AND WARRANTS ("UNITS") DESCRIBED HEREIN

REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS. UNITS PURCHASED HEREUNDER MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHERWISE. THESE UNITS HAVE NOT
BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY
STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, AND NO SUCH COMMISSION HAS PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED
THE MERITS OF THESE UNITS OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE MEMORANDUM. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. THIS MEMORANDUM DOES NOT
CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO PURCHASE IN ANY
JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH AN OFFER OR SOLICITATION IS NOT AUTHORIZED. CHANGES
IN INFORMATION OCCURRING AFTER THE DATE OF THIS MEMORANDUM ARE NOT NECESSARILY
REFLECTED HEREIN. PURCHASE OF THESE UNITS INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.
US NOTICE: Any dissemination of these possible terms to the general public,
distribution within the borders of the United States of America, distribution to
United States citizens abroad, or to other funding or investment sources could
void any exemptions for Private Placement status under US Securities Law. The
Company and Investor(s) agree that no public announcements or dissemination of
any information to any source other than the Company, the Advisor, the
Intermediary or the Investor(s) without an opinion from legal counsel attesting
that such announcement or dissemination will not void the private placement
exemption or violate Regulation D, Section 4(2) or Section 5 of the Securities
Acts of the U.S. This offer would be an "All or None" offering. Should the full
offering not be committed to, this offer would be rescinded and any terms become
null and void.

Investor(s) as follows:
5.1 REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. The legend set forth in Section 4.5 above
shall be removed by the Company and its transfer agent from any certificate
evidencing the Shares upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel
"Legal Opinion" that a registration statement under the Securities Act is at
that time in effect with respect to the Shares or that the Shares can be freely
transferred in a public sale without such a registration statement being in
effect and that such transfer shall not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions
from registration pursuant to which the Company issued the Shares. The Company
shall bear the costs of obtaining any legal opinions or other documents
necessary to enact such legend removal. Should the Investor(s) be forced to
obtain such Legal Opinion independently, such costs shall be reimbursed to them
by the Company.
5.2 BASIC FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND REPORTING.
(a) The Company will maintain true books and records in which full and correct
entries will be made of all its business transactions pursuant to a system of
accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP consistently

as shall be required under GAAP consistently applied.

will furnish the Investor(s) with an audited balance sheet of the Company, as at

subsidiaries, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries with its officers, and to review such information as
is reasonably requested all at such reasonable times during business hours and
as often as may be reasonably requested. The rights granted hereby shall be in
addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights afforded stockholders under
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Investor understand
that any such action could put them in an insider position of information and as
such, if such rights are executed upon by the investor that they may be
restricted from sales of securities until such time as the information they are
in possession of has become public. In no way does this right in and of itself
put the investors in an insider position and election to execute on this right
is at the sole discretion of the investor. The Investor shall notify the Company
in writing 90 days in advance of such election to participate or to inspect.
5.4 SECURITIES FILINGS. The Company shall timely make, within the applicable

8.13 CONFIDENTIALITY. The Investor(s) agree that they will keep confidential and

monitor their investment in the Company any confidential, proprietary or secret
information which the Investor(s) may obtain from the Company pursuant to
financial statements, reports and other materials submitted by the Company to
the Investor(s) pursuant to this Agreement, or pursuant to visitation or
inspection rights granted hereunder or under any Transaction Document
("CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" ), unless such Confidential Information is known, or
until such Confidential Information becomes known, to the public (other than as
a result of a breach of this Section 8.13 by the Investor(s)); provided,
however, that the Investor(s) may disclose Confidential Information (i.) to
their attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent
necessary to obtain their services in connection with evaluating and monitoring
15

reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure. Subject
to the provisions of this Section 8.13, the Investor(s) shall use, and shall use
their best efforts to ensure that their authorized representatives use, the same
degree of care as the Investor(s) use to protect their own confidential
information to keep confidential any Confidential Information furnished to them,
except that the Investor(s) may disclose such Confidential Information to any
partner, member, subsidiary or parent of the Investor(s) so long as such
partner, member, subsidiary or parent is advised of the confidentiality
provisions of this Section 8.13. The Company shall notify Investor(s) prior to
delivery of any information which would place the Investor(s) in an insider
knowledge position and await confirmation that such information delivery is
acceptable to the Investor(s). Any Confidential information shall be stamped or
labeled as "Confidential".
8.14 ADJUSTMENTS FOR STOCK SPLITS, ETC. Where in this Agreement there is a
reference to a specific number of shares of Investor(s) Stock, then, upon the
occurrence of any subdivision, combination, stock dividend or stock split, the
specific number of shares so referenced in this Agreement shall automatically be
proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect of such subdivision, combination,
stock dividend or stock split on the outstanding shares of stock.
8.15 LEGAL FEES. If any Action is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of
this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, costs and necessary disbursements in
addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.
8.16 BANKRUPTCY. Should the Company be placed, either voluntarily or
involuntarily, into a bankruptcy proceeding prior to full funds delivery from
the Cash Account to the Companies Working Account, such proceeding will have no
effect on the delivery of capital and will leave this Agreement and the AMA in
full force and effect unless a negotiated alteration to such documents in
established and signed by the Investor(s), Intermediary and the Company. The
Courts must obtain the Intermediaries and the Investor(s) agreement to any
