4.   SCHEDULE OF SERVICES

4.1  SCHEDULE. Sedgman Canada shall prepare and submit to Falls Mountain, to
     Falls Mountain's reasonable satisfaction, prior to the first payment, a
     schedule (the "SCHEDULE OF SERVICES") acceptable to both the parties that
     indicates the timing (start and completion) of the major constituents,
     steps or elements of the Services. The Schedule of Services will include
     the date that all the Equipment has been supplied and all the Services have
     been performed ("PROJECT COMPLETION").

4.2  PROGRESS. Sedgman Canada shall monitor the progress of the Services
     relative to the Schedule of Services; Falls Mountain shall not be required
     to make payment of any amount specified in an invoice submitted by Sedgman
     Canada in accordance with Schedule 2 unless such invoice is accompanied by
     an updated version the Schedule of Services and report as described in
     section 4.3.

4.3  RELIANCE ON SCHEDULE OF SERVICES. As part of the monitoring of the progress
     of the Services Sedgman Canada acknowledges that Falls Mountain has an
     interest in receiving


                                        3

     an accurate estimate of the achievement of Mechanical Completion as soon as
     possible, and that Falls Mountain will be entitled to receive this
     information and rely on it to plan its sales of coal. Sedgman Canada will,
     not later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of Mechanical
     Completion provide Falls Mountain with an updated Schedule of Services for
     the purpose of permitting Falls Mountain to begin to make committed coal
     sales.

4.4  PERFORMANCE. Sedgman Canada shall perform the Services in compliance with
     the Schedule of Services. If at any time Sedgman Canada discovers that the
     Schedule for Services cannot be met it will promptly advise Falls Mountain
     in writing and provide a revised Schedule for Services to the reasonable
     satisfaction of Falls Mountain indicating the revised dates for the
     remaining portions of the Services. Failure to comply with this section 4.4
     shall entitle Falls Mountain to terminate this Agreement in accordance with
     Article 7 - Termination.

4.5  MECHANICAL COMPLETION, PERFORMANCE STANDARD AND COMMISSIONING. The
     equipment, when fully installed and commissioned, has been designed to
     achieve a standard of performance (the "PERFORMANCE STANDARD") as follows:

          (a)  process coal at a continuous feed rate of at least 450 metric
               tons per hour in accordance with the conditions outlined in
               Schedule 1, the Scope of Services;

          (b)  separation of ash from the coal so as to achieve less than or
               equal to 8% ash dry basis per coal quality specifications
               provided by Falls Mountain as detailed in Schedule 1, Scope of
               Services;

     will be mechanically completed when the Plant is ready to run at the
     Performance Standard ("MECHANICAL COMPLETION"). It is a material provision
     of this Agreement that Sedgman Canada


                                        4

     achieve Mechanical Completion. Commissioning is achieved with Sedgman
     Canada staff operating the Plant for a continuous period of at least 24
     hours at a ninety two percent (92%) availability level where availability
     is defined as operating hours divided by scheduled hours. In the event
     Sedgman Canada is delayed in its efforts to complete commissioning of the
     Plant by reason of:

          (a)  downtime associated with the existing crushing and handling
               system;

          (b)  lack of raw coal feed from the mine; or

          (c)  excessive trash in the raw coal feed stock producing delays;

     and such delay continues for 30 days or more, then , notwithstanding that
     Commissioning has not taken place, Falls Mountain shall immediately remit
     to Sedgman Canada the final payment amount set forth in Schedule 2. In the
     event that 60 days elapses from the time Sedgman Canada advises in writing
     that the Plant is ready to be commissioned and such 60 days' delay is a
     result of the causes referred to in (a), (b) or (c) hereof, then Sedgman
     Canada will be relieved of its obligation hereunder to commission the
     Plant. Falls Mountain further agrees that it will also release any holdback
     monies held under the Builders' Lien Act at the end of such 60 day period,
     provided that it shall only be obliged to do so if it receives a Statutory
     Declaration sworn by a senior officer of Sedgman Canada attesting to the
     fact that all of the subtrades and suppliers to Sedgman Canada have been
     paid and Sedgman Canada provides an indemnity in respect of any liabilities
     which may arise under the Builders' Lien Act (British Columbia) in form and
     substance and from a party satisfactory to Falls Mountain acting
     reasonably.

     unconditionally guarantees to Falls Mountain, its successor and assigns,

     surety.

6.   INSURANCE AND DAMAGES

1.2  PREPARATION PLANT DESIGN

1.2.1 FACILITY CAPACITY

     The new Preparation Plant will process the 50mm x 0 raw coal product from
     the secondary crusher. Sedgman will modify the existing crusher discharge
     to allow the 50mm x 0 crushed coal to be delivered to the plant feed
     conveyor at a rate of 450 tph. Using the size consist data provided,
     Sedgman determined that the 13mm x 0 size will range from 55 to 65 percent
     of the plant feed.

     Based upon a review of the data provided and discussion with Falls
     Mountain, Sedgman is proposing the following process circuitry to meet
     product quality specifications:


                                       18

     Base Proposal -- 50mm x 0 Processing; Flowsheet Drawing No. 2342-0102



     Size                 Circuit                      Processing
     ----                 -------                      ----------
                                       
50mm x 13mm      Heavy Media Cyclone         100% Processing
13mm x 1.5mm     Heavy Media Cyclone         Variable, up to 80% Processing
13mm x 0         Bypass                      Variable, up to 100% bypass of
                                             13mm x 0
1.5mm x 0.15mm   Water-Only Cyclone/Spiral
0.15mm x 0       Belt Filter Press           Dewater 100% of 0.15mm x 0


     The flowsheet configuration developed by Sedgman allows Falls Mountain to
     process the run-of-mine coal at a 450 TPH feed rate. Depending upon
     run-of-mine quality characteristics, in-seam ash, percent dilution,
     washability characteristics and size consist, the weight percentage of raw
     coal bypassed to the clean coal product during coal washing will vary from
     <20 percent of the plant feed up to 65 percent of the plant feed.

1.2.2 PLANT LOCATION

     The new Preparation Plant Facility will be located adjacent to the existing
     secondary crushing tower. The plant location will be in general accordance
     with the general site building plan drawing 04318-100-300 prepared by
     Westmar Consulting Engineers. Sedgman considers this location preliminary,
     with the final location to be adjusted based upon final contours, existing
     conveyor profiles and Falls Mountain requirements.

     dewatering and disposal, is detailed in this Proposal.

2.1  OWNER-SUPPLIED DATA

     Falls Mountain has provided Sedgman with current size and washability data.
     The size and washability data provided was collected from production
     samples of seam 6 and seam 7.

2.2  MINE PLAN

     Falls Mountain has indicated that the bulk of their production from
     2005-2007 will be from Seam 7 (40%-50%), Seam 6 (20%) and the balance from
     Seams 1-4 (30%-40%). Production during this period will be primarily from
     the Willow Creek central pit.
