b. It is the intention of the parties that Owner has engaged Contractor to mine and deliver certain coal pursuant to this Agreement, and it is expressly agreed that Contractor will carry out the services contemplated by this Agreement as an independent contractor who has a possessory status of the Premises as a tenant at will. Contractor understands and agrees that any and all coal and coal products mined from the Premises shall at all times belong to Owner, and at no time shall Contractor grant, permit, allow or suffer a security interest, mechanic’s lien or lien of any type or nature to attach to such coal, or to sell, have sold, or otherwise dispose of such coal or coal products without Owner’s written directive to do so. Owner shall exercise no control of Contractor’s employees or mining operations hereunder, and Contractor shall conduct all its operations hereunder in such manner as to do the least possible damage to the Premises or to the property of any other person. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating a single enterprise, joint venture, landlord-tenant, or employer-employee relationship between Contractor and Owner. Contractor is not and shall not represent itself to be a partner, agent, or representative of Owner.

c. Contractor shall, under the terms and Conditions herein, mine for Owner, by modern and efficient deep mining methods, and with due regard for future mining, the Premises permitted under any permits to be issued by the appropriate governmental agencies. Contractor shall, as from time to time directed by Owner, produce and deliver coal, and Contractor agrees to perform the work and services required under this Agreement (the “Work”) upon the terms and conditions as provided herein. Contractor agrees to perform the Work on the Premises under the same limitations and restrictions of Owner’s Coal Rights and in accordance with any and all permits to be issued.

In addition to the complete process of deep mining, loading, delivering, and transporting coal from the Premises, as herein provided, the Work includes, but is not limited to, the proper, safe, workmanlike, timely, and diligent construction, operation, maintenance, and periodic rehabilitation of any and all mine site(s), work and service area(s), road(s), culvert(s), drain(s), water well(s), tank(s) and line(s), building(s), pollution control structure(s) (exclusive of sediment ponds), telephone line(s) and installations(s), electrical power line(s), substation(s) and

installation(s), underground air course(s), roof support(s), railway(s) and haulway(s), and all other surface and underground improvement(s), installation(s), and/or fixture(s) on, in, near, adjacent, contiguous, and/or through the Premises, or associated and/or used therewith, which are necessary and/or convenient for Contractor’s Work hereunder; as well as, keeping all areas of the Premises and surface area utilized hereunder free and clear of all trash, coal refuse, spent supplies, discarded equipment, and other debris.

3. Nonexclusive Right to Mine; Coordination of Operations. It is understood and agreed by the parties that neither the designation by Owner of any particular place or area from which Contractor is to mine the coal nor supplying or agreeing to or being aware of a plan of mining and projections of mining operations at such place or in such area shall imply or give rise to any exclusive right in the Contractor to mine all of the coal at such place or in such area, but only so much thereof as Owner may from time to time direct or permit Contractor to mine. It is further understood that the Premises to be mined by Contractor hereunder may be adjacent to other areas which are presently being mined or will in the future be mined by other contractors or by Owner. Therefore, in order to allow Owner overall coordination of mining on its lands, the mining plans and projections prepared by Contractor will be provided to the Owner for its review and comment prior to Contractor commencing operations hereunder, and thereafter Contractor shall diligently follow the same, as amended from time to time, in its Operations hereunder. Owner shall have the right to enter and inspect the Premises and Contractor’s operations at all reasonable times to determine that Contractor is securing the greatest possible recovery of minable coal and to insure compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Owner shall at all times have the right to enter the Premises to exercise all rights it has in, on and to the Premises and other lands so long as Owner does not unreasonably interfere with Contractor’s operations hereunder. Contractor promptly shall provide to Owner any consents, waivers or other documentation that may be requested by Owner or third parties to facilitate Owner’s exercise of its rights on the Premises. OWNER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE LENGTH OF TIME OF CONTRACTOR’S OPERATION.

4. Coal on Adjacent Lands. Contractor acknowledges that the Premises on which it is to conduct its operations is only a part of the lands covered by Owner’s Coal Rights and that adjacent lands may, in the future, be mined by other contractors or by Owner. Contractor shall conduct its mining operations hereunder exclusively on the Premises and shall not mine coal from adjacent lands covered by Owner’s Coal Rights without a written amendment to this Agreement clearly specifying the additional area on which Contractor may conduct mining operations.

5. Prior Investigation By Contractor. Contractor accepts the Premises hereinabove described in their existing condition and acknowledges that Contractor has made an investigation to determine existing conditions, including the existence of old works, latent and patent dangers, other dangerous conditions within, upon, over, under and/or associated with the Premises, limitation of the areas involved, equipment necessary to conduct and complete operations, laws affecting performance hereunder, and Owner’s knowledge of prior mining and the location of old works. OWNER MAKES NO IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION CONCERNING THE EXISTENCE, QUANTITY, QUALITY, MINABILITY OR MERCHANTABILITY OF THE COAL SEAM WITHIN THE PREMISES, TITLE THERETO, OR OTHERWISE, AND CONTRACTOR COVENANTS AND AGREES THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS, STATEMENTS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, HAVE BEEN MADE BY OR ON BEHALF OF OWNER REGARDING THE PREMISES, THEIR CONDITION, THE USE OR OCCUPATION THAT MAY BE MADE THEREOF OR THE INCOME THEREFROM. Owner shall in no event assume or be liable for any loss incurred by Contractor under this Agreement, and Contractor acknowledges that Owner has included in the compensation to be paid hereunder to Contractor a sufficient sum to cover the cost of all items expressly or impliedly required hereunder and to obtain the full and complete performance of all the Work contemplated by this Agreement. Owner does not assume any responsibility or liability for the present or future condition of the Premises and Owner shall not be liable to Contractor for any damage to or destruction of the Premises or Contractor’s property or the property of any other person due to fires, floods, or any other accident or other natural catastrophe which occurs on or within the Premises.

In the event Owner consents to one or more assignments or subcontracts pertaining to this Agreement, such consent shall not be construed as waiving the requirements of obtaining written consent to additional assignments or subcontracts pertaining to this Agreement, nor shall any consent to assignment or subcontract relieve Contractor of any of its obligations made hereunder or herewith.

a. If at any time either Contractor or Owner shall be in default or breach of any term, covenant, obligation, or condition of this Agreement, the non-defaulting party may give the defaulting party written notice of the condition of breach and demand that it be cured or corrected.
