Dear ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇:

The undersigned (the “Subscriber”) hereby subscribes to purchase upon the terms and conditions set forth below, _________________ Convertible Preferred Series C Shares, (the Series C Preferred Stock) of PRB Gas Transportation, Inc., (the “Company”), for U.S. $3.00 per share. The total subscription of U.S. $ __________ is payable as follows [check the space below]:

_____

The total subscription amount is paid herewith.

The Subscriber agrees that this subscription is contingent upon acceptance by the Company and may not be withdrawn until accepted or rejected by it.

General Representations - The Subscriber acknowledges and represents as follows:

(a)

The Subscriber has received and carefully reviewed all information provided by the Company to the Subscriber or requested by the Subscriber;

(b)

The Subscriber has been given full access to information regarding the Company (including the opportunity to meet with Company’s officers and to review all the documents that Subscriber may have requested) and has utilized such access for the purpose of obtaining all information the Subscriber deems necessary for the purposes of making an informed investment decision and to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to Subscriber;

(c)

The Subscriber understands that (i) the purchase of the Series C Preferred Stock is a highly speculative investment in a start up company and such investment involves a high degree of risk, (ii) the Company will need substantial additional financing in the future and no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such funds on terms that are acceptable to the Company or at all, (iii) the Series C Preferred Stock bears no dividend (iv) the Series C Preferred Stock is junior to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock in liquidation and other preferences, (v) even if the Company is successful in completing a public offering of its securities (“IPO”) no assurance can be given that the securities underlying the Series C Preferred Stock will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and (vi) the Company makes no assurance whatever concerning the present or prospective value of the Shares or as to the outcome of the IPO;

(d)

The Subscriber has obtained, to the extent he or she deems necessary, personal professional advice with respect to the substantial risks inherent in an investment in the Series C Preferred Stock and the suitability of such investment in light of the Subscriber’s personal financial condition and investment needs. Unless the Subscriber has otherwise advised the Company in writing, the Subscriber did not employ the services of a purchaser representative, as defined in Regulation D under the Act, in connection with this investment;

(e)

The Subscriber (i) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Series C Preferred Stock, (ii) is experienced in making investments which involve a high degree of risk, (iii) is sophisticated in making investment decisions, and (iv) can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares, including the total loss of such investment;

(f)

The Subscriber acknowledges that (i) the purchase of the Series C Preferred Stock is a long-term investment, (ii) he or she must bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time because the Series C Preferred Stock has not been registered under the Act or applicable state laws and, therefore, the Shares cannot be sold unless it is subsequently registered under the Act and such state laws or exemptions from such registration are available, (iii) there is no public market for the Series C Preferred Stock and none will develop following completion of this placement. The Subscriber may not be able to liquidate his or her investment in the event of an emergency, or pledge the Series C Preferred Stock as collateral security for loans. The transferability of the Series C Preferred Stock is restricted and (A) requires conformity with the restrictions contained in paragraph 2 below, and (B) will be further restricted by a legend placed on the certificate(s) representing the Shares stating that the Series C Preferred Stock has not been registered under the Act and applicable state laws and referencing the restrictions on transferability of the Shares; and

(g)

The Subscriber acknowledges that descriptive materials describing the Company and its limited operations supplied to the Subscriber include forecasts and other forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in those documents, including statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, and financial forecasts are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that the Company believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, forecasts of financial results, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results of operations to differ materially and adversely from those presented. The Subscriber should not and does not rely upon forecasts and other forward-looking statements as predictions of future events or performance but merely as indications of performance and objectives identified by management. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company cannot assure anyone that the events and circumstances reflected in the forecasts and other forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

No Registration Under the Securities Laws - The Subscriber has been advised that the Series C Preferred Stock is not being registered under the Act or state securities laws pursuant to exemptions from the Act and such laws, and that the Company’s reliance upon such exemptions is predicated in part on the representations of the Subscriber contained herein. The Subscriber represents and warrants that the Series C Preferred Stock is being purchased for the Subscriber’s own account and for investment without the intention of reselling or redistributing the same, that no agreement has been made with others regarding the Series C Preferred Stock and that the Subscriber’s financial condition is such that it is not likely that it will be necessary to dispose of any of such Shares in the foreseeable future. The Subscriber is aware that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission and state authorities that administer state securities laws, a purchase of the Series C Preferred Stock with an intent to resell by reason of any foreseeable specific contingency or anticipated change in market values, or any change in the condition of the Company or its business, or in connection with a contemplated liquidation or settlement of any loan obtained for the acquisition of the Series C Preferred Stock and for which the Shares were pledged as security, would represent an intent inconsistent with the representations set forth above. The Subscriber further represents and agrees that, if, contrary to the foregoing intentions, there should ever be a desire to dispose of or transfer any of such Shares in any manner, the Subscriber shall not do so without first obtaining (a) an opinion of counsel suitable to the Company that such proposed disposition or transfer lawfully may be made without registration pursuant to the Act, and applicable state securities laws or (b) such registrations.

State of Domicile - The Subscriber represents and warrants that the Subscriber is a bona fide resident of, and is domiciled in, the state so designated on the signature page hereto, and that the Series C Preferred Stock is being purchased solely for the beneficial interest of the Subscriber and not as nominee for, or on behalf of, or for the beneficial interest of, or with the intention to transfer to, any other person, trust or organization.
