known or unknown, to the extent arising from, based upon or attributable to the Equity Interests, regardless of whether such obligations or Losses arose prior to, on or after the IPO Closing Date (the “Equity Interests Assumed Obligations”).

(b) Subject to and without limiting the Partnership’s rights to indemnity under Section 2.1 or under Section 7.2 of the First Drop Down Contribution Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each CONSOL Group Member from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by such CONSOL Group Member, directly or indirectly, by reason of or arising out of:

(i) the Equity Interests Assumed Obligations;

(ii) the ownership, use and/or operation of the IPO Assets and the First Drop Down Assets (including the IPO Asset Assumed Obligations and the First Drop Down Assumed Obligations), whether related to periods prior to, on or after the IPO Closing Date, in the case of the IPO Assets and the IPO Asset Assumed Obligations, or to periods prior to, on and after the First Drop Down Closing Date, in the case of the First Drop Down Assets and First Drop Down Assumed Obligations, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any environmental event, condition or matter associated with or arising from the ownership or operation of the IPO Assets and the First Drop Down Assets (including the presence of Hazardous Substances on, under, about or migrating to or from the IPO Assets and the First Drop Down Assets or the disposal or the release of Hazardous Substances generated by operation of the IPO Assets and the First Drop Down Assets at non-IPO Asset or non-First Drop Down Asset, as the case may be, locations) including (i) the cost and expense of any investigation, assessment, evaluation, monitoring, containment, cleanup, repair, restoration, remediation, risk-based closure activities or other corrective action required or necessary under Environmental Laws and (ii) the cost and expense of the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial, corrective action or other plans required or necessary under Environmental Laws;

(vi) such CONSOL Group Member’s performance of the Terminal Services, except to the extent resulting from such CONSOL Group Member’s breach of the standard of care for Terminal Services;

(vii) a breach by a Partnership Group Member of the Cooperation Agreement, including a breach of the standard of care for conducting operations pursuant thereto; and/or

(viii) a Partnership Group Member’s operation of the IPO Assets and the First Drop Down Assets under the CONSOL Bonds and/or the Permits to the extent such Permits have not been assigned to CNX Thermal Holdings but only to the extent of the Partnership Group’s Proportionate Share.

2.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The Indemnified Party agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article II, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification under this Article II, including the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such claim or any matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless it includes a full unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such claim and does not contain any admission of wrongdoing or illegal conduct; provided, further, that no such settlement containing any form of injunctive or similar relief shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld; and, provided, further, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such claim; or (ii) the named parties to any such claim (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party.

(c) The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner with the Indemnifying Party with respect to all aspects of the defense of and pursuit of any counterclaims relating to any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article II, including the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the Indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense and counterclaims (provided, that the Indemnified Party has an opportunity to review the use of its name and does not reasonably object to such use), the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense and counterclaims, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of

any employees of the Indemnified Party and the granting to the Indemnifying Party of reasonable access rights to the properties and facilities of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 2.3. The obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims and pursuit of any counterclaims with respect to any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article II; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense and counterclaims. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party informed as to the status of any such defense or counterclaim, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense and counterclaims so long as the Indemnified Party is still seeking indemnification hereunder.

(d) In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Party, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such claim and (ii) all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons.

2.4 Limitations Regarding Indemnification.

(a) CONSOL shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Partnership Group Member under Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(b), Section 2.1(c) and/or Section 2.1(d) until such time as the total aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Partnership Group for such Losses exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”), at which time CONSOL shall be obligated to indemnify the Partnership Group for the amount of such Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(b) The Partnership shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any CONSOL Group Member (i) under Section 2.2(b)(i) and/or Section 2.2(b)(ii) with respect to the IPO Assets and the IPO Asset Assumed Obligations to the extent and only to the extent relating to periods prior to the IPO Closing Date and/or (ii) under Section 2.2(b)(ii) with respect to the First Drop Down Assets and the First Drop Down Assumed Obligations to the extent and only to the extent relating to periods prior to the First Drop Down Closing Date, in each case until such time as the total aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the CONSOL Group for such Losses exceeds the Deductible, at which time the Partnership shall be obligated to indemnify the CONSOL Group for the amount of such Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, there is no monetary cap on the amount of indemnity coverage provided by any Indemnifying Party under this Article II.

(d) The indemnities set forth in Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(b)(i), Section 2.1(c)(i) and/or Section 2.1(d)(i) shall terminate on the third anniversary of the IPO Closing Date. The indemnities set forth in Section 2.1(b)(ii), Section 2.1(c)(ii) and/or Section 2.1(d)(ii) shall terminate on the third anniversary of the First Drop Down Closing Date. The indemnities set forth in Section 2.1(e), Section 2.1(f), Section 2.1(g), Section 2.1(h) and Section 2.2(b) shall survive without time limit, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no termination of any bona fide claim asserted pursuant to the indemnities in Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(b), Section 2.1(c) and/or Section 2.1(d) prior to the date of termination for such indemnity.

(e) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TO ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES AND SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY OTHER LOSS OR DAMAGE, INCLUDING INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, PRODUCTION OR REVENUES, AND EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY RELEASES THE OTHER PARTY FROM ALL SUCH CLAIMS FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE OTHER THAN ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES; PROVIDED THAT LIMITATION TO DIRECT DAMAGES ONLY SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY DAMAGE, CLAIM OR LOSS ASSERTED BY OR AWARDED TO THIRD PARTIES AGAINST A PARTY AND FOR WHICH THE OTHER PARTY WOULD OTHERWISE BE RESPONSIBLE UNDER THIS ARTICLE II.

2.5 Express Negligence. THE INDEMNIFICATION, RELEASE, ASSUMPTION AND WAIVER PROVISIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE APPLICABLE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WHETHER OR NOT THE LIABILITIES IN QUESTION ARISE AS A RESULT OF THE STRICT LIABILITY OR NEGLIGENCE (JOINT, SEVERAL, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, SOLE OR CONCURRENT) OF OR BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS STATEMENT COMPLIES WITH THE EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE AND IS CONSPICUOUS.

2.6 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, from and after the IPO Closing Date, Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 contain the Parties’ exclusive remedy against each other with respect to breaches of the covenants of the Parties set forth in Article II. Except for (a) the remedies contained in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, (b) any other remedies available to the Parties at law or in equity for breaches of provisions of this Agreement other than Article II and (c) the remedies available at law or in equity in connection with any other document delivered by a Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, from and after the IPO Closing Date, each of the Parties releases, remises and forever discharges the other and its Affiliates and all such Persons’ equity holders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives from any and all Losses in law or in equity, known or unknown, which such Parties might now or subsequently may have, based on, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE III

SERVICES; REIMBURSEMENT

3.1 General and Administrative Services.

(a) CONSOL agrees to provide, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to provide, to the General Partner, for the Partnership Group’s benefit, the general and administrative services that have been traditionally provided in connection with the ownership and operation of the IPO Assets and the First Drop Down Assets, which include the services set forth on Exhibit C (the “General and Administrative Services”).

(b) Absent the written agreement of the Parties to the contrary, the Parties agree that the General and Administrative Services will be received by the General Partner, for the benefit of the Partnership Group, at the General Partner’s principal place of business.

(c) The Parties acknowledge that the costs and expenses of General and Administrative Services will be allocated among the Partnership Group Members based on any reasonable allocation methodology as determined by CONSOL.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the fees, costs and expenses related to General and Administrative Services subject to this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not in duplication of, any amounts owed to CONSOL by the Partnership pursuant to the Employee Services Agreement, the Water Supply and Services Agreement and/or the Terminal and Throughput Agreement.

3.2 Administrative Fee.

(a) As consideration for CONSOL’s and its Affiliates’ provision of the General and Administrative Services, the Partnership Group will pay to CONSOL an annual fee that will reflect the costs incurred by CONSOL and its Affiliates in providing such General and Administrative Services (other than those costs for which CONSOL and its Affiliates are entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.3 and Section 3.4), as determined in good faith by CONSOL in accordance with Exhibit D (the “Administrative Fee”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is the intent of the Parties that the General and Administrative Services be provided based on an arm’s-length standard and that the Administrative Fee is intended to reflect such standard. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Fee will cover the fully burdened cost of the General and Administrative Services provided by CONSOL and its Affiliates to the Partnership Group, as well as any third-party costs actually incurred by CONSOL and its Affiliates on behalf of the Partnership Group in providing such General and Administrative Services (other than those costs for which CONSOL and its Affiliates are entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.3 and Section 3.4), including the following:

(i) the base compensation and employee benefits of employees of CONSOL or its Affiliates (and any employment, payroll or similar taxes related thereto), to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform General and Administrative Services for the Partnership Group’s benefit. With respect to employees that do not devote all of their business time to the Partnership Group, such compensation and

employee benefits (and any withholding or payroll taxes related thereto) shall be allocated to the Partnership Group based on the annual weighted average of time spent and number of employees providing General and Administrative Services to the Partnership Group;

(ii) any expenses incurred or payments made by CONSOL or its Affiliates on behalf of the Partnership Group for insurance coverage with respect to the IPO Assets, the First Drop Down Assets or the business of the Partnership Group; and

(iii) all sales, use, excise, value added or similar taxes, if any, that may be applicable from time to time with respect to the General and Administrative Services provided by CONSOL and its Affiliates to the Partnership Group pursuant to Section 3.1.

(b) As part of the Administrative Fee, the Partnership Group shall pay to CONSOL a fixed Parent Executive Support Fee, in the amount shown on Exhibit D, in consideration for the services of certain executive officers of CONSOL and its Affiliates, who devote less than 50% of their business time to the Partnership Group, for their provision of executive support services for the benefit of the General Partner and the Partnership Group Members.

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Fee may change each calendar year, as determined by CONSOL in good faith after consultation with the General Partner, to accurately reflect the degree and extent of the General and Administrative Services provided to the Partnership Group by CONSOL and its Affiliates and such determination may reflect, among other things, the contribution, acquisition or disposition of assets to or by the Partnership Group or to reflect any change in the cost of providing General and Administrative Services to the Partnership Group due to changes in any law, rule or regulation applicable to CONSOL and its Affiliates or the Partnership Group, including any interpretation of such laws, rules or regulations.

(d) On or prior to October 1 of each calendar year during the term of this Agreement, CONSOL will notify the General Partner of the estimated amount of the Administrative Fee to be paid by the Partnership Group for the following calendar year. For the calendar year in which the IPO Closing Date occurs, such estimate shall be made on or prior to the IPO Closing Date and shall pertain only to the remainder of such calendar year. The Administrative Fee shall be invoiced and paid as follows:

(i) Within 20 days following the end of each month during the term of this Agreement, CONSOL will submit to the Partnership Group an invoice of the amounts due for such month for the Administrative Fee (with the Parent Executive Support Fee separately stated). Each invoice will contain reasonably satisfactory support of such amounts and such other supporting detail as the General Partner may reasonably require.

(ii) The Partnership Group will pay the Administrative Fee within 10 days after the receipt of the invoice therefor. The Partnership Group shall not offset any amounts owing to it by CONSOL or any of its Affiliates against the Administrative Fee payable hereunder.

3.3 Reimbursement of Additional Out-of-Pocket Costs and Expenses. In addition to (but not in duplication of any costs that are reflected in) the Administrative Fee payable under Section 3.2, the Partnership Group will reimburse CONSOL and its Affiliates on a monthly basis for any additional out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by CONSOL and its Affiliates in providing the General and Administrative Services, as well as any compensation (other than base compensation included in Section 3.2(a)(i)) and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership Group, including any incentive compensation (whether short-term or long-term and whether in cash, equity or otherwise) and employment, payroll or similar taxes paid by CONSOL and its Affiliates in connection with any incentive plan (or similar compensation plan) of the General Partner or the Partnership Group, in providing General and Administrative Services.

3.4 Reimbursement of Management Services.

(a) CONSOL agrees to provide, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to provide, to the General Partner, for the Partnership Group’s benefit, such Management Services as may be necessary to manage and operate the business and affairs of the Partnership Group.

(b) Subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 3.4 and such reasonable allocation and other procedures as may be determined in good faith by CONSOL from time to time, the Partnership hereby agrees to reimburse CONSOL and its Affiliates on a monthly basis for all reasonable direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred by CONSOL or its Affiliates (other than the Partnership Group) in connection with the provision of the Management Services to the Partnership Group, including the compensation and employee benefits of employees of CONSOL or its Affiliates (and any employment, payroll or similar taxes related thereto), to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform Management Services for the Partnership Group’s benefit. This includes CONSOL stock-based compensation expense and net of any re-allocated Partnership equity compensation expense, as determined by CONSOL pursuant to its reasonable allocation procedures and methodologies. With respect to employees that do not devote all of their business time to the Partnership Group, such compensation and employee benefits (and any withholding or payroll taxes related thereto) shall be allocated to the Partnership Group based on the annual weighted average of time spent and number of employees providing Management Services to the Partnership Group. For the avoidance of doubt, the reimbursement provided under this Section 3.4 is intended to cover those employees of CONSOL and its Affiliates whose services are not covered by Exhibit C to this Agreement or by the Employee Services Agreement, including executive management services, business development, strategy services, accounting and financial services, investor relations and risk management.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the fees, costs and expenses related to Management Services subject to this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not in duplication of, the Administrative Fee and the reimbursement provided in Section 3.3.

(a) Each of CPCC and Conrhein (each, a “Retained Undivided Interest Transferring Owner”) hereby grants to the Partnership a right of first offer, exercisable during the Retained Undivided Interest ROFO Period, to purchase all or any part of the Retained Undivided Interest owned by it to the extent that such Retained Undivided Interest Transferring Owner proposes to Transfer all or any part of the Retained Undivided Interest owned by it; provided, however, that a Retained Undivided Interest Transferring Owner may Transfer all or any part of its Retained Undivided Interest to a CONSOL Group Member that agrees in writing that such Retained Undivided Interest remain subject to the provisions of this Article IV and such CONSOL Group Member assumes the obligations of the Retained Undivided Interest Transferring Owner under this Article IV with respect to such Retained Undivided Interest, and such Transfer shall not be subject to the Partnership Group’s right of first offer.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that any Transfer of all or any part of the Retained Undivided Interest pursuant to the Partnership’s right of first offer is subject to the terms of all existing agreements with respect to the Retained Undivided Interest and shall be subject to and conditioned on the obtaining of any and all necessary consents of securityholders, Governmental Authorities, lenders or other third parties; provided, however, that each Retained Undivided Interest Transferring Owner hereby represents and warrants that, to its knowledge after reasonable investigation, there are no terms in such agreements that would materially impair the rights granted to the Partnership Group pursuant to this Article IV with respect to the Retained Undivided Interest.

4.2 Right of First Offer to Purchase Retained Other Assets.

(a) CONSOL (the “Retained Other Assets Transferring Owner” and, together with each Retained Undivided Interest Transferring Owner, the “Transferring Owners”) hereby grants to the Partnership a right of first offer, exercisable during the Retained Other Assets ROFO Period, to purchase all or any part of the Retained Other Assets owned by it to the extent that the Retained Other Assets Transferring Owner proposes to Transfer all or any part of the Retained Other Assets owned by it; provided, however, that the Retained Other Assets Transferring Owner may Transfer all or any part of its Retained Other Assets to a CONSOL Group Member that agrees in writing that such Retained Other Assets remain subject to the provisions of this Article IV and such CONSOL Group Member assumes the obligations of the Retained Other Assets Transferring Owner under this Article IV with respect to such Retained Other Assets, and such Transfer shall not be subject to the Partnership Group’s right of first offer.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that any Transfer of all or any part of the Retained Other Assets pursuant to the Partnership’s right of first offer is subject to the terms of all existing agreements with respect to the Retained Other Assets and shall be subject to and conditioned on the obtaining of any and all necessary consents of securityholders, Governmental Authorities, lenders or other third parties; provided, however, that the Retained Other Assets Transferring Owner hereby represents and warrants that, to its knowledge after reasonable investigation, there are no terms in such agreements that would materially impair the rights granted to the Partnership Group pursuant to this Article IV with respect to the Retained Other Assets.

4.3 Procedures.

(a) If a Transferring Owner proposes to Transfer all or any part of its ROFO Assets (other than to a CONSOL Group Member in accordance with Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.2(a), as applicable) during the Retained Undivided Interest ROFO Period or Retained Other Assets ROFO Period, as applicable (a “Proposed Transaction”), such Transferring Owner shall, prior to entering into any such Proposed Transaction, first give notice in writing to the Partnership (the “ROFO Notice”) of its intention to enter into such Proposed Transaction. The ROFO Notice shall include any material terms, conditions and details that would be necessary for the Partnership to make a responsive offer to enter into the Proposed Transaction with such Transferring Owner, which terms, conditions and details shall at a minimum include any terms, conditions or details that such Transferring Owner would propose to provide to non-Affiliates in connection with the Proposed Transaction. The Partnership shall have 60 days following receipt of the ROFO Notice (the “ROFO Review Period”) to propose an offer to enter into the Proposed Transaction with the Transferring Owner (the “ROFO Response”). The ROFO Response shall set forth the terms and conditions (including the purchase price the Partnership proposes to pay for the ROFO Assets and the other terms of the purchase) pursuant to which the Partnership would be willing to enter into a binding agreement for the Proposed Transaction. If the Partnership submits a ROFO Response within the ROFO Review Period, the Partnership and the Transferring Owner shall negotiate, in good faith, the terms of the purchase and sale of the ROFO Assets for 60 days following the receipt of the ROFO Response (the “ROFO Negotiation Period”) by the Transferring Owner. If no ROFO Response is delivered by the Partnership within the ROFO Review Period, then the Partnership shall be deemed to have waived its right of first offer with respect to the ROFO Assets subject to the ROFO Notice, subject to Section 4.3(c).

(b) If the Transferring Owner and the Partnership are able to agree to the terms of the purchase and sale of the ROFO Assets during the ROFO Negotiation Period, the Transferring Owner shall enter into an agreement with the Partnership providing for the consummation of the Proposed Transaction upon the terms agreed upon (such date that a definitive purchase and sale agreement is entered into, the “ROFO PSA Execution Date”). Unless the Transferring Owner and the Partnership otherwise agree, the terms of the purchase and sale agreement will include the following:

(i) the Partnership will deliver the agreed purchase price (in cash, Partnership Interests, an interest-bearing promissory note or any combination thereof);

(ii) the closing date for the purchase of the ROFO Assets shall occur no later than 180 days following the ROFO PSA Execution Date;

(iii) each of the Transferring Owner and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to effectuate the consummation of any transactions contemplated by this Section 4.3(b), including causing its respective Affiliates to execute, deliver and perform all documents, notices, amendments, certificates, instruments and consents required in connection therewith; and

(iv) neither the Transferring Owner nor the Partnership shall have any obligation to consummate the Proposed Transaction if any consent referred to in Section 4.1(b) or Section 4.2(b), as applicable, has not been obtained.

(c) If the closing of the Proposed Transaction does not occur within the 180-day period set forth in Section 4.3(b)(ii), then, unless the Transferring Owner and the Partnership agree otherwise in a written agreement, the ROFO Assets in question shall once again become subject to the restrictions of this Section 4.3, and the Transferring Owner shall no longer be permitted to Transfer such ROFO Assets without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 4.3.

(d) If the Transferring Owner and the Partnership are unable to agree on the terms of the Proposed Transaction during the ROFO Negotiation Period, the Transferring Owner may Transfer the ROFO Assets to any third party during the 180-day period following the expiration of such ROFO Negotiation Period on terms no more favorable to such third party than those set forth in the ROFO Response; provided, however, that any Transfer of all or any part of the ROFO Assets pursuant to this Section 4.3(d) shall be (i) subject to the terms of all existing agreements with respect to the Retained Undivided Interest and the Pennsylvania Mining Complex or Retained Other Assets, as applicable, and (ii) subject to and conditioned on the obtaining of any and all necessary consents of securityholders, Governmental Authorities, lenders or other Persons.

(e) The Partnership may assign its rights and obligations under this Article IV to any Partnership Group Member.
