The Guarantor and the Guaranteed Party may hereinafter be referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties”.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

A. Guarantor is a member of Clean Coal Solutions, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (the “Company”).

B. The Company and the Guarantor desire to have the Guaranteed Party enter into certain Transaction Documents (as defined below) with, among others, the Company and/or the Guarantor.

C. The Guaranteed Party is willing to enter into the Transaction Documents with the Company and/or the Guarantor on the condition, among others, that all of the Company’s indemnification obligations under Section 8.1(a) of the Class B Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the Guaranteed Party are guaranteed by the Guarantor, on the terms set forth in this Guarantee.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Guaranteed Party to enter into the Transaction Documents, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

1. Definitions.

1.1 Defined Terms. As used in this Guarantee, (i) the capitalized terms defined in the preamble, preliminary statements and other sections of this Guarantee shall have the respective meanings specified therein; (ii) capitalized terms used but not defined in this Guarantee shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement; and (iii) the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Obligations” shall mean solely, without duplication, all of the Company’s obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor Indemnified Parties (under and as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth in section 8.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement. The term “Obligations” shall not include any other obligation of the Company, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Company or any Member of the Company that may arise under any of the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

“Transaction Documents” shall mean the Purchase Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of the Company, dated as of the date hereof, and the Exclusive Right to Lease Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Company and the Guaranteed Party.

1.2 Terms Generally. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be modified by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument of other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof; (b) any reference herein to any “Person” shall mean a natural person, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, association, trust, governmental body, unincorporated organization or other entity and shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns; and (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Guarantee in its entirety and not to any particular provision of this Guarantee. Article and section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Guarantee and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Guarantee.

2. Guarantee.

2.1 Irrevocable Guarantee.

(a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to the Guaranteed Party and its successors, permitted indorsees, permitted transferees and permitted assigns that, upon written demand of payment made by the Guaranteed Party to the Guarantor, all Obligations will be promptly paid in full, in United States dollars, when due in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (after giving effect to the rights, limitations and obligations set forth in sections 8.1(c)-(j) and 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement).

(b) If legal action is instituted to enforce the rights of the Guaranteed Party under this Guarantee, the Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Guaranteed Party on written demand for all reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Guaranteed Party in successfully enforcing its rights under this Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall have no obligation to pay any such costs or expenses if, in any action or proceeding brought by the Guaranteed Party giving rise to a demand for payment of such costs or expenses, it is finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Guarantor is not liable to make payment under Section 2.1(a) with respect to the rights of the Guaranteed Party sought to be enforced in such action or proceeding.

(c) Each payment under this Guarantee shall be made in United States dollars. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.1, the Guarantor’s liability to guarantee any Obligations shall not exceed the liability of the Company with respect to its Obligations under the terms of the Purchase Agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c), or any other provisions hereof to the contrary, (i) the Guarantor’s liability for the Obligations shall not be reduced by the amount of any costs and

2

expenses recovered or recoverable by the Guaranteed Party under Section 2.1(b), and (ii) if the Company’s liability in respect of the Obligations is reduced due to any defense described in clauses (1) through (3) of the final paragraph of Section 2.3 hereof, the amount of such reduction shall not reduce the Guarantor’s liability for such Obligations hereunder.

2.2 No Subrogation. The Guarantor will not exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation or a right of contribution from the Company under this Guarantee, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until all of the Obligations owing by the Company, if any, shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation or contribution rights at any time when all of the Obligations owing by the Company shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Party to whom such Obligations are payable and shall forthwith be paid to the Guaranteed Party to be credited and applied to such Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with section 8.1 of the Purchase Agreement. If (i) the Guarantor shall make payment to the Guaranteed Party of all or any part of the Obligations and (ii) all of the Obligations shall be indefeasibly paid in full, the Guaranteed Party will, at the Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Guaranteed Party, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment by the Guarantor.

2.3 No Effect on Guarantee. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall not be altered, limited, impaired or otherwise affected by:

(a) any rescission of any demand for payment of any of the Obligations or any failure by the Guaranteed Party to make any such demand on the Company or any other guarantor or to collect any payments from the Company or any other guarantor or any release of the Company or any other guarantor;

(b) any renewal, extension, modification, amendment, acceleration, compromise, waiver, indulgence, rescission, discharge, surrender or release, in whole or in part, or any assignment or transfer, of the Purchase Agreement or the Obligations or any other instrument or agreement evidencing, relating to, securing or guaranteeing any of the Obligations, or the liability of any party to any of the foregoing or for any part thereof;

(c) any act or omission of the Guaranteed Party relating in any way to the Obligations or to the Company, including any failure to bring an action against any party liable on the Obligations, or any party liable on any other guarantee of the Obligations;

(d) any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Company or any other guarantor or any defense which the Company or any other guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding; and

3

(e) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or that may or might otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity, other than (i) the indefeasible payment in full in United States dollars of all the Obligations, and (ii) as set forth in the next paragraph.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall be entitled to assert any defense which the Company may have under the Purchase Agreement to payment of any of its Obligations, other than defenses based upon (i) lack of authority, capacity, legal right or power of the Company to enter into and/or perform its Obligations, (ii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, composition, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, or (iii) the nonexistence, invalid formation, dissolution, merger or termination of the Company.

2.4 Continuing Guarantee; Termination. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment when due, and not of collection only, and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Guaranteed Party at any time of any right or remedy against the Company or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations.

2.5 Reinstatement of Guarantee. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is avoided, rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Guaranteed Party to the Company or its representative or to any other guarantor for any reason including as a result of any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding with respect to the Company or the Guarantor, all as though such payment had not been made.

2.6 No Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything in this Guarantee to the contrary, under no circumstances shall Guarantor be liable to the Guaranteed Party for special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages with respect to any breach of this Guarantee, other than the payment of attorneys’ fees as is specifically provided for in this Guarantee.
