Sections 5.05 and 8.01(a)), Contura Energy requested, and Alpha Natural Resources and ANR agreed, to amend the TSA by agreeing to extend the period of this ANR Provided Service by three hundred and twelve (312) days until December 31, 2017, which was memorialized in that certain Third Amendment to Transition Services Agreement entered into effective as of February 22, 2017, by and among the Parties (the “Third Amendment”).

WHEREAS, the aforesaid need is continuing such that Contura Energy has requested that Alpha Natural Resources and ANR agree to amend the TSA by agreeing to extend the “Extension Period” (as defined in the Third Amendment) for an additional period of four (4) calendar years from January l, 2018 through December 31, 2021, inclusive, such that the period of this ANR Provided Service shall continue until December 31, 2021 (the “Second Extension Period”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Extension of Service Number 21: The Parties have mutually agreed that the subject ANR Provided Service as specified as Service Number 21 in Schedule II to the TSA should be revised, extended and supplemented as provided for in Appendix 1 attached hereto, which is entitled Service Number 21-A (Second Extension). The monthly fee shall be four thousand dollars ($4000.00) for the first 24 months of this Second Extension (i.e., January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019). No later than September 30, 2019, for the 2020 service year, or September 30, 2020, for the 2021 service year, ANR shall notify Contura of its desire to reopen the monthly fee due to a material change in ANR’s costs to maintain Service Number 21-A. If ANR elects to exercise this right, it shall provide sufficient detail to Contura to demonstrate the increased costs are material compared to the costs projected at the time of this Fourth Amendment and such increased costs shall be split evenly between ANR and Contura; provided that, if Contura does not agree that the increased costs are material, then Contura may exercise the dispute resolution provision of the TSA or terminate Service Number 21-A as of December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2020, as the case may be, with no penalty.

2. Adoption of Other Terms: All other provisions of the Third Amendment, including specifically numbered paragraphs 2 and 3, shall be and hereby are incorporated by reference into this Amendment as if set forth in full herein, it being the intent and agreement of the Parties to extend the Extension Period (as defined in the Third Amendment) for the 4-year duration of the Second Extension Period (as defined above).

3. Miscellaneous:

a. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the TSA shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.

2

b. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment electronically (either by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a photocopy of the original) shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.

c. Following execution of this Amendment, each reference in the TSA to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of like import referring to the TSA shall mean and be a reference to the TSA as amended by this Amendment.

d. This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

e. All Parties have participated, or had the opportunity to participate, in the drafting of this Amendment, and no Party shall be deemed to be the drafter hereof. The words of all parts of this Amendment and of the TSA as hereby amended shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to their fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any of the Parties, notwithstanding any statutory or common law provisions which would suggest otherwise.
