In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article X, this Agreement will terminate and become void and of no further force and effect and there will be no further Liability on the part of any party hereto, except that the provisions of Section 10.1, Section 10.2, this Section 10.3, and Article XII will survive any termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Article X will relieve any party of Liability for any willful or material breach of this Agreement. ARTICLE XI. INDEMNIFICATION. Section 11.1. Survival. (a) The representations and warranties of Sellers and the Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for the applicable periods set forth in this Section 11.1. Any and all claims and causes of action for indemnification under this Article XI arising out of the inaccuracy of breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers or Buyer must be made prior to the termination of the applicable survival period (if any). In the event that notice of any claim or cause of action for indemnification shall have been given in accordance with this Article XI within the applicable survival period (if any), the representations, warranties, covenants and undertakings that are the subject of such claim or cause of action shall survive until such time as such claim or cause of action is finally resolved. (b) The representations and warranties of Sellers and Buyer contained in this Agreement and any and all claims and causes of action for indemnification under this Article XI with respect thereto shall terminate on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely, (ii) claims for fraud shall survive for three (3) years from the later of the Effective Date and the date the fraud could have been reasonably discovered, and (iii) the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in Section 4.32 (Sellers and Affiliates not Permit Blocked) and the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Section 5.8 (Buyer and Affiliates not Permit Blocked) shall survive until the completion of the final transfer of all of the Mining Purchased Permits from Sellers to Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement. (c) All covenants and undertakings required to be performed after the Closing shall survive until fully performed or fulfilled. The rights of any indemnified party under any other indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article XI shall have no expiration date. Section 11.2. Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to provisions of Section 11.6, Sellers shall, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and agents (each a "Buyer Indemnitee") from and against any and all Losses, actually suffered or incurred by them arising out of or resulting from: (a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by any Seller under Article IV of this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents (a "Seller Warranty Breach");

57 (b) the breach of any covenant or agreement by any Seller contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; (c) any breach or violation by any Seller or any of its Affiliates under the MCSA (whether before or after the Closing) or the MCSA Partial Assignment; (d) any breach or violation by any Seller or any of its Affiliates under either of the Xxxxxx Leases (whether before or after the Closing) or the Xxxxxx Leases Partial Assignment; or (e) any breach or violation by any Seller or any of its Affiliates under any of the CONSOL Transaction Documents (whether before or after the Closing), except to the extent that Buyer expressly assumes the Liability for any such Losses under the Transaction Documents; or (f) any other Excluded Liability. Section 11.3. Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to Section 11.6, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each a "Seller Indemnitee") from and against any and all Losses actually suffered or incurred by Sellers arising out of or resulting from: (a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer under Article IV of this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents ("Buyer Warranty Breach"); (b) any breach of any obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; (c) any breach or violation by Buyer or any of its Affiliates under the MCSA (after the Closing) or the MCSA Partial Assignment; (d) any breach or violation by Buyer or any of its Affiliates under either of the Xxxxxx Leases (after the Closing) or the Xxxxxx Leases Partial Assignment; or (e) any Assumed Liability. Section 11.4. Representation, Settlement and Cooperation. If any investigation, action or other Proceeding is initiated against any Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee (each, an "Indemnitee") and the Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification from any Seller or Buyer (each an "Indemnitor"), as applicable, under this Article XI on account of such Indemnitee's involvement in the Proceeding, then the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to the applicable Indemnitor or Indemnitors; provided, however, that the failure to so notify any Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article XI or reduce the obligations of such Indemnitor. Upon receipt of notice of a Proceeding for which indemnification is available under this Article XI, each Indemnitor shall diligently defend against the Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnitee, at such Indemnitor's own expense, using counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such Proceeding, however the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnitee unless: (i) the Indemnitor(s) shall have given prior written consent to the employment of such counsel, (ii) the Indemnitor(s) shall have failed or refused to conduct the defense, or (iii) the Indemnitee has been reasonably advised by counsel that it may have defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor(s) that its interests in

58 the Proceeding are adverse to the interests of the Indemnitor(s). In the event of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Indemnitee may defend against the Proceeding at the Indemnitor's expense. The Indemnitor(s) or Indemnitee, as applicable, may participate in any Proceeding being defended against by the other at its own expense and shall not settle any Proceeding without the prior consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless (1) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any Law or Order of any Government Authority or of any violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnitee and no effect on any other Proceedings that may be made against the Indemnitee, and (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor(s). The Indemnitor(s) and Indemnitee shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Proceeding. Section 11.5. Notice and Satisfaction of Indemnification Claims. No indemnification claim shall be deemed to have been asserted until the applicable Indemnitor has been given notice by the Indemnitee of the amount of the claim and the facts on which the claim is based (including evidence supporting the amount of the claim). For purposes of this Article XI, notice of an indemnification claim shall be deemed to cover claims arising out of or in connection with all related Proceedings so long as, in the case of Proceedings instituted by third parties, the Indemnitee complies with Section 11.4. Section 11.6. Limits on Indemnification. (a) No Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek indemnification under this Article XI for any individual event or circumstance unless and until the amount of Losses resulting from such event or circumstance exceeds $10,000.00 (the “De Minimis Amount”), in which case all such amount shall be deemed a Loss hereunder. (b) Sellers shall not have any indemnification obligations under Section 11.2(a) unless and until the claims asserted against any or all Sellers exceed $300,000.00 in the aggregate (the "Basket Amount"), in which case the applicable Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek indemnification for all Losses in excess of the Basket Amount. Buyer shall not have any indemnification obligations under Section 11.3(a) unless and until the claims asserted against Buyer exceed the Basket Amount, in which case the applicable Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek indemnification for all Losses in excess of the Basket Amount. (c) The maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Sellers arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in any provision of this Agreement, shall be limited to the sum of $2,000,000.00 (the “Cap”). The maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Buyer arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in any provision of this Agreement, shall be limited to the Cap. (d) Notwithstanding (a), (b) and (c) above, none of the De Minimis Amount, the Basket Amount nor the Cap shall apply with respect to any Losses resulting from breaches of any of the Fundamental Representations; provided, however, that Sellers shall not be liable for indemnification obligations in excess of the Purchase Price with respect to any Losses arising of or resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Sellers contained in this Agreement.

59 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) no Party shall be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, punitive or consequential Losses or for any lost profits of any other party; (ii) no Indemnitor shall be required to defend any Indemnitee in any investigation, action or other Proceeding instituted against such Indemnity unless such Proceeding arises from claims from a Governmental Authority or any other third party which is not an Affiliate of the Indemnitee; and (iii) with respect to contingent or unquantifiable Losses, no payment will be due by any indemnifying party unless and until the relevant Losses cease to be contingent or may be quantified. (f) No Party shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any increased Losses caused by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the other Party. Each Party shall take and shall cause to be taken all steps reasonably necessary to mitigate all such Losses promptly after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to such Losses. (g) The computation of the Losses pursuant to this Article XI shall be made after deducting therefrom any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment recovered by the indemnified party from any third party with respect thereto, less any cost actually incurred by the indemnified party in the collection of any such proceeds, indemnity, contribution or other similar payment. Section 11.7. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article XI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law. Section 11.8. Exclusive Remedies. Excluding Section 6.2, Section 7.1, Section 7.7 and any Seller Warranty Breach relating to any special warranty of title to the Purchased Assets, and subject to Sections 12.7 and 12.8, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all Losses (other than Losses arising from fraud in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Laws, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, other than claims with respect to fraud, claims for equitable relief, and the right to obtain indemnification pursuant to this Article XI. Nothing in this Section 11.8 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief or other remedy with respect to any breach of Sections 6.2, Section 7.1 or Section 7.7, with respect to any Seller Warranty Breach relating to any special warranty of title to the Purchased Assets or on account of any fraud. ARTICLE XII. MISCELLANEOUS. Section 12.1. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including in Article VIII (Tax Matters)), all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein shall be

60 paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses; provided, for the sake of clarity, Sellers shall pay all amounts payable to Xxxxxxxxx, LLC in connection herewith and therewith. Section 12.2. Notices. All notices, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally-recognized overnight courier (receipt requested), (c) on the next Business Date following the date sent by email of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission), or (d) on the third Business Day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

Email: xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx and xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx Section 12.3. Construction. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring the construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. Section 12.4. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. Section 12.5. Disclosure Schedules. (a) Unless otherwise defined therein, all capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules will have the meanings ascribed to them herein, and all section references in the schedules refer to the corresponding section hereof. The attachments to the Disclosure Schedules form an integral part thereof and are incorporated by reference for all purposes as if set forth fully therein. The headings contained in the Disclosure Schedules are for convenience of reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules. No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in the Disclosure Schedules will be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in the

62 Disclosure Schedules. Any information contained in any particular Disclosure Schedule will be deemed to be contained in another Disclosure Schedule if (i) it is expressly included in such other Disclosure Schedule (by cross reference or specific reference) or (ii) it would be reasonably apparent to an informed and sophisticated purchaser in the industry from the reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to any other applicable Disclosure Schedule. (b) In the event that, during the period between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, any matter or event beyond the control of Sellers or their respective Affiliates arises or occurs which would require Sellers to update any of the Disclosure Schedules in order to cause any of the representations, warranties or covenants of Sellers in this Agreement to be true and correct so as to avoid a potential breach thereof, Sellers may and shall have the right from time to time prior to the Closing Date to request that Buyer consent to Sellers amending and supplementing such Disclosure Schedules, in writing (including electronic communication) given to Buyer or its legal counsel, for the purpose of the disclosure of such new or updated information required to be so disclosed in order to avoid such potential breach. If Buyer consents to Sellers so amending or supplementing any such Disclosure Schedules, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sellers’ representations and warranties in Article IV hereof, shall be deemed to include such amended and supplemented disclosures made pursuant to this Section 12.5(b) as of the Effective Date and thereafter, including the Closing Date, and as a result thereof, (i) any such update to such Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to cure and correct any breach of any representation or warranty that would have existed if Sellers would not have made such update to such Disclosure Schedules, and (ii) any claim for indemnification by a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to Article XI of this Agreement shall not be applicable with respect to the matters reflected in such Disclosure Schedule as so updated. In the event that Buyer objects to Sellers so amending or supplementing the Disclosure Schedules, Sellers shall not have the right to do so, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sellers’ representations and warranties in Article IV hereof, shall be deemed to not include any such amended or supplemented disclosures requested by Sellers to be made pursuant to this Section 12.5(b); provided, however, Sellers shall have the right to deem that the conditions set forth in Section 9.3 have not been met and to terminate this Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, if Sellers reasonably determine that the inability of Sellers to amend or supplement such Disclosure Schedules for the purpose of disclosing any such new or updated information would subject Sellers to potential indemnification obligations under this Agreement in excess of the Basket Amount; provided, further, in any event, Buyer shall have the right to deem that the conditions set forth in Section 9.2 have not been met and terminate this Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, if Buyer reasonably determines that the new or updated information proposed to be disclosed by Sellers causes a condition in Section 9.2 to not be satisfied. Section 12.6. Successors and Assigns; Assignment. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

63 (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be null and void. Unless otherwise agreed by the other party in writing, no assignment of this Agreement shall relieve or release the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the Closing, Buyer may, without the consent of Sellers partially assign any of its rights to purchase or acquire any of the Purchased Assets hereunder to one or more Affiliates of Buyer, including, without limitation, newly-formed Affiliates of Buyer established for such purpose, so long as each such assignee Affiliate of Buyer executes and delivers to Sellers a legally- binding joinder to this Agreement whereby such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the sake of clarity, no such assignment shall relieve or release Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder unless otherwise agreed by Sellers in writing. Section 12.7. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and its or their permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Section 12.8. Legal Recourse. (a) This Agreement may be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto, each of their respective Specified Affiliates, and their successor and permitted assigns and. (b) Each party hereto, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, represents, warrants and agrees that (i) it has been granted the proper authority, as an agent of each of its Affiliates, to bind each of its Affiliates to the terms and conditions of this Section 12.8 and (ii) the provisions of this Section 12.8 are binding upon and constitute legal obligations of such party and each of its Specified Affiliates. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no natural person who is a past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or other Representative of any party hereto or of any of its Affiliates, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby. Section 12.9. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. (a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth below, all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of West Virginia, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles.

64 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any dispute, controversy, legal suit or action, or other matter relating solely to any of the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property located exclusively in Tazewell County, Virginia, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia to the extent required by the conflicts of laws principles of the State of West Virginia. (c) Any legal suit, action, proceeding or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of West Virginia, in each case, which are located in Kanawha County, West Virginia, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, proceeding or dispute and irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action, proceeding or dispute in such courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit, action, proceeding or dispute in any such court. Section 12.10. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement. Section 12.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement and understanding of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein and supersede all prior and contemporaneous representations, warranties, understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. Except as may otherwise me expressly provided in any of the other Transaction Documents, in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions and statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the other Transaction Documents, the Exhibits or the Disclosure Schedules, the provisions and statements in the body of this Agreement will control. Section 12.12. Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto referencing this Agreement and the parties’ intent to amend, modify or supplement the same. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving the same. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right or remedy arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Section 12.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement and shall constitute an original counterpart of this Agreement for all purposes.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Sellers and Xxxxxxxx have each caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by one of its officers or managers thereunto duly authorized, all at or on the date and year first above written.
