SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPT AGREEMENT -- CAUTIONARY NOTE FOR READERS

The attached Subscription Receipt Agreement has been filed with certain securities regulatory authorities in Canada pursuant to National Instrument 51-102 -- Continuous Disclosure Obligations, which requires Blackheath Resources Inc. (" Blackheath ") to file certain material contracts to which it (or any subsidiary) is a party. Unlike certain other documents filed on behalf of Blackheath, the attached Subscription Receipt Agreement has not been prepared as a disclosure document and was not drafted with the intention of providing factual information about Blackheath (or any affiliate) for the benefit of investors. The attached Subscription Receipt Agreement contains representations and warranties made by Blackheath and certain of its affiliates to various counterparties for risk allocation purposes, and solely for benefit of those counterparties. National Instrument 51-102 allows reporting issuers to omit certain provisions of material contracts and readers are cautioned that statements made Blackheath (and its affiliates) in the attached Subscription Receipt Agreement may be qualified (in whole or in part) by information redacted from the attached copy of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, which information is not otherwise available to the public. Moreover, information concerning Blackheath, its affiliates or the subject matter of statements made in the attached Subscription Receipt Agreement concerning Blackheath or certain of its affiliates may change after the date of the attached Subscription Receipt Agreement, and subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Blackheath's public disclosures. Accordingly, investors should not rely on statements in the attached Subscription Receipt Agreement concerning Blackheath (or any of its affiliates) as accurate statements of fact.

SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS

GREEN IMPACT OPERATING CORP.

(a corporation existing under the laws of Alberta)

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT , for value received, [●] (the " holder ") is the registered holder of the number of subscription receipts (" Subscription Receipts ") specified above of Green Impact Operating Corp. (the " Corporation ") and is thereby entitled, without payment of any additional consideration or further action, to be issued, immediately after the Escrow Release Time (as defined in the Subscription Receipt Agreement hereinafter referred to) one common share of the Corporation (each a " Corporation Common Share ") in respect of each Subscription Receipt held, with each such Corporation Common Share to be immediately exchanged for one common share in the capital of the Resulting Issuer pursuant to the terms of the Wolverine Arrangement (each as defined in the Subscription Receipt Agreement). This Subscription Receipt Certificate represents Subscription Receipts of the Corporation issued under the provisions of a subscription receipt agreement (which agreement, together with all instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto, is herein referred to as the " Subscription Receipt Agreement ") dated as of April 8, 2021, between the Corporation, Blackheath Resources Inc. (" Blackheath "), Wolverine Energy and Infrastructure Inc. (" Wolverine "), Odyssey Trust Company (the " Subscription Receipt Agent ") and RBC Dominion Securities Inc. (" RBC "). Reference is hereby made for particulars of the rights of the holders of the Subscription Receipts, the Corporation, Blackheath, Wolverine, the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Agents in respect thereof and of the terms and conditions upon which the Subscription Receipts are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Subscription Receipt Agreement were herein set forth in full, and to all of which the holder, by acceptance hereof, assents. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Subscription Receipt Certificate and the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement shall govern. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Subscription Receipt Certificate shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Subscription Receipt Agreement. The Corporation will furnish to the holder, on request, a copy of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. Any capitalized terms used and not defined in this certificate shall have the meaning attributed thereto in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate will be automatically converted into Corporation Common Shares and subsequently exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares by the Subscription Receipt Agent for and on behalf of the holder upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions and the holder will be a holder of the Resulting Issuer Shares without additional consideration or the taking of any further action by the holder. For greater certainty, the Subscription Receipts represented by this certificate may not be converted by the holder and may only be converted pursuant to the foregoing automatic conversion.

The sale of the Subscription Receipts is being completed in connection with the proposed RTO Transaction contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, pursuant to which Blackheath will indirectly acquire the Spinout Assets from Wolverine pursuant to the amalgamation of the Corporation, GIP and SpinCo, which Transaction will result in the "reverse take-over" of Blackheath in accordance with the policies of the TSXV. Upon completion of the RTO Transaction, each Corporation Common Share, other than Corporation Common Shares owned by Blackheath, will be immediately exchanged for one Resulting Issuer Share.

Pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the Escrow Release Date is the date on which the Articles of Arrangement are filed and the Subscription Receipt Agent receives the Escrow Release Notice in the form required under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, which notice will inform the Subscription Receipt Agent of the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (other than the filing of the Articles of Arrangement), will advise the Subscription Receipt Agent of the conversion of the Subscription Receipts

into Corporation Common Shares and the immediate exchange thereof for Resulting Issuer Shares and will instruct the Subscription Receipt Agent to pay the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the Subscription Receipt Agreement upon filing of the Articles of Arrangement.

In the event that: (i) the Escrow Release Notice is not delivered to the Subscription Receipt Agent prior to the Escrow Release Deadline; or (ii) a Termination Notice is delivered to the Subscription Receipt Agent by the Corporation, all of the Subscription Receipts shall, without any action on the part of the holders thereof (including the surrender of Subscription Receipt Certificates), be cancelled by the Subscription Receipt Agent. In such event, the holder will be entitled to receive, and the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Corporation shall pay to the holder, the aggregate amount of $10.00 per Subscription Receipt (together with the Subscription Receipt Interest earned thereon, less any withholding tax required to be withheld in respect thereof), all as more particularly set out in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The holder of this Subscription Receipt is cautioned that in the event that the Subscription Receipts are deemed to be cancelled, a cheque will be mailed or delivered to the latest address of record of the registered holder.

On and after the date of conversion of the Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate, the holder will have no rights hereunder except to the Corporation Common Shares issued to such holder and the Resulting Issuer Shares issued on the immediate exchange of such Corporation Common Shares.

No Corporation Common Shares or Resulting Issuer Shares will be issued pursuant to the conversion of any Subscription Receipt if the issue of such security would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

The Subscription Receipt Agreement contains provisions making binding on all holders of Subscription Receipts outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments in writing signed by holders of a specified majority of all outstanding Subscription Receipts.

The Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate are non-transferable, except as expressly provided for in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The Subscription Receipts and the Corporation Common Shares issuable upon deemed conversion of the Subscription Receipts, and the Resulting Issuer Shares issuable upon exchange of the Corporation Common Shares pursuant to the Wolverine Arrangement have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " U.S. Securities Act "), or the securities laws of any state of the United States and are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act. The Corporation Common Shares and the Resulting Issuer Shares may not be offered, sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, unless: (A) the sale is to the Corporation or the Resulting Issuer, as applicable; (B) the sale is made outside the United States in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations; (C) the sale is pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the U.S. Securities Act and is available for resale of the Corporation Common Share or Resulting Issuer Shares; (D) the sale is made pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act provided by (i) Rule 144 or (ii) Rule 144A thereunder, if available, and in accordance with any applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of any state of the United States; or (E) the Corporation Common Shares or Resulting Issuer Shares are sold in any other transaction that does not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act or any applicable laws and regulations governing the offer and sale of the securities of any state of the United States; and, in the case of clauses (D)(i) or (E), it has prior to such sale furnished to the Corporation

LEGAL_36008975.3 WSLEGAL\089248\00003\26740766v14 LEGAL_36023412.1

A-4

or the Resulting Issuer, as applicable, an opinion of counsel of recognized standing or other evidence of exemption in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation or the Resulting Issuer, as applicable.

The holding of this Subscription Receipt Certificate will not constitute the holder a shareholder of the Corporation or Blackheath or entitle such holder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as otherwise provided in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

This Subscription Receipt Certificate will not be valid for any purpose until it has been certified by or on behalf of the Subscription Receipt Agent for the time being under the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

Time is of the essence hereof.
