PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD UNDER THE CINER RESOURCE PARTNERS LLC 2013 LONG-TERM
INCENTIVE PLAN This Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), made as of the [DAY] day
of [MONTH] 2019, by Ciner Resource Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Company”), to [NAME] (“Participant”), is made pursuant to and
subject to the provisions of the Company’s 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as
amended (the “Plan”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. The terms of the Plan are hereby
incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Performance Units 1. Grant of
Performance Units and Performance Distribution Equivalents. Pursuant to Section
6.5 of the Plan, the Company, on [GRANT DATE] (the “Grant Date”), granted the
Participant an Award in the form of [UNITS GRANTED] Performance Units (which
number of performance units shall be referred to herein as the “Target Units”),
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. In addition,
pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Plan and on the Grant Date, the Company granted
to the Participant a number of Performance Distribution Equivalents equal to the
number of Performance Units, which Award represents the right to receive an
amount equal to the accumulated cash distributions made during the period
beginning on January 1, 2019, and ending on the Vesting Date with respect to
each Common Unit, if any, delivered to the Participant in settlement of any
vested Performance Units. The Performance Distribution Equivalents shall be
subject to the same vesting and forfeiture conditions as well as such other
terms and conditions as apply to the Performance Units. All amounts payable with
respect to a Performance Distribution Equivalent shall, subject to vesting of
such Performance Distribution Equivalent, be accumulated and paid, without
interest, at the same time the related vested Performance Unit is settled.
Performance Units do not represent actual Common Units, but rather represent a
right, subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, to receive a number
of Common Units equal to the product of (i) the Target Units multiplied by (ii)
the Final Payout Multiplier. Performance Distribution Equivalents do not
represent actual Common Units, but rather represent a right, subject to the
terms of the Plan and this Agreement, to receive an amount equal to the cash
distributions paid during period beginning on January 1, 2019, and ending on the
Vesting Date with respect to the number of Common Units to be delivered as
determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. No Common Units shall
be issued to the Participant at the time the grant is made, and the Participant
shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a Common Unit holder
with respect to the Performance Units or the Performance Distribution
Equivalents. Performance Units granted to Participant and any amounts
accumulated with respect to Performance Distribution Equivalents shall be
credited to a bookkeeping account established and maintained for the
Participant; the existence of such bookkeeping account shall not obligate the
Company to set aside or otherwise segregate any assets with respect to the
Award. 2. Terms and Conditions. No Award shall be earned or become vested and
Participant’s interest in the Performance Units and Performance Distribution
Equivalents granted hereunder shall be forfeited, except to the extent that the
following paragraphs are satisfied. 3. Performance Criteria. To the extent not
previously forfeited and except as otherwise provided herein, Participant’s
Performance Units and Performance Distribution Equivalents shall vest as of the
date the 109122.0269155 EMF_US 76580240v1

Administrator determines the performance results (as defined below), which
determination shall be made as soon as practicable after the end of the
Measurement Period and shall be based on the following formula (to the nearest
whole Performance Unit). (a) The Measurement Period is the period beginning
January 1, 2019 and ending December 31, 2021. (b) The Performance Metrics and
weighting will be: Metric Weight EBITDA 70% Tons Produced 10% Controllable Costs
10% Lost Day Incident Rate 10% (c) Performance Metrics Definitions EBITDA –
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization Target will be
based on the approved budget for each year within the measurement period. Actual
results will be based on the audited financial results for each year within the
measurement period. Tons Produced – Target will be based on the approved budget
for each year within the measurement period. Actual results will be based on the
final results for each year within the measurement period. Controllable Costs –
Includes all manufacturing costs except for gas price (price not usage), taxes,
royalties, insurance and fixed utilities. Also includes all Selling, General and
Administrative (SG&A) expense. Target will be based on the budgeted fixed costs
times budgeted tons plus the budgeted variable costs times budgeted tons. Lost
Day Incident Rate – Will be determined by taking the total number of Lost Work
Day cases multiplied by 200,000 and divided by the total number of hours worked.
(d) Payout Multiplier. The Payout Multiplier of Target Units is determined
according to the following tables (awards to be interpolated between the
percentages below): EBITDA (70%) Percent Achieved Payout relative to budget*
Multiplier Maximum 133% 200% 130% 190% 120% 160% 110% 130% Target 100% 100%
