 ARTICLE III

 OPERATIONS IN THE PENNSYLVANIA MINE AREA 

3.1 Operations in the Coal Area. With respect to the land in the Pennsylvania Mine Area that is, with respect to any calendar
year, (i) currently being mined by Coal Party or (ii) identified in good faith by Coal Party as land to be mined during the following six (6) calendar years of the then-current Life of Mine Plan (such area, the “Coal
Area”): 
 (a) If Coal Party determines, in its sole discretion, that venting of Coal Gas is necessary for mine safety
considerations, Coal Party shall have the right to (i) drill, vent, and/or flare holes to vent such Coal Gas; (ii) install any necessary equipment on the surface or subsurface, including pipelines and facilities, to remove such Coal Gas,
and/or (iii) cause Gas 

  
 3 







 
Party to vent, flare, or Capture for processing and sale such Coal Gas from any existing Gas Party Well that is then Capturing Coal Gas from the Coal Gas seam or gob area in the mine at issue.
Gas Party shall have the exclusive right to Capture any and all Coal Gas; provided, however, that in the event that Gas Party determines it shall not Capture sealed gob gas, then Coal Party may Capture such sealed gob gas at its discretion
and sole risk and expense. 
 (b) Coal Party shall have the absolute right to Stimulate any coal seam to degas the Pennsylvania Mine Area;
provided, however, that Gas Party may elect to Stimulate any coal seam, at its sole cost and expense, upon prior written notice to Coal Party. In the event Gas Party so elects, Gas Party shall employ only standard Stimulation
techniques consistent with prudent industry practices for Stimulating coal seams and shall keep Coal Party reasonably informed of any such Stimulation activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gas Party may employ experimental non-standard
Stimulation techniques with respect to any coal seam only with the prior written consent of Coal Party, which consent may be withheld in Coal Party’s sole discretion. 

(c) Gas Party shall have the right to locate and drill Wells, and construct pipelines and facilities, attributable to the Gas Interests in the
Coal Area, subject to Coal Party’s plugging, relocation, and shut-in rights pursuant to Section 3.3; provided, however, that Gas Party shall request the prior written consent of Coal Party with respect to the design and
location of any Well prior to the drilling of any such Well, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon receiving a request from Gas Party to drill a Well, Coal Party may (i) consent to such Well and such proposed location;
(ii) consent to such Well but not consent to such proposed location; or (iii) not consent to such Well and such proposed location. In the case of (i), such Well shall be a “Protected Well.” In the case of
(ii) or (iii), the Parties shall meet to attempt a mutually agreeable solution, and if the Parties are unable to agree, Gas Party may nevertheless drill such Well without obtaining Coal Party’s consent, and such Well shall be a
“Non-Protected Well.” 
 (d) As of the Execution Date, the existing Wells set forth on Exhibit E shall be
deemed Non-Protected Wells. 
 3.2 Operations in the Non-Coal Area. With respect to the land in the Pennsylvania Mine Area
other than the Coal Area (the “Non-Coal Area”): 
 (a) Gas Party shall have the right to locate and drill Wells, and
construct midstream pipelines and facilities, attributable to the Gas Interests in the Non-Coal Area, subject to Coal Party’s plugging, relocation, and shut-in rights pursuant to Section 3.3. 

(b) Any Well drilled by Gas Party on a location that was in the Non-Coal Area at the time such Well was permitted shall be deemed a Protected
Well. As of the Execution Date, the existing Wells set forth on Exhibit F shall be deemed Protected Wells. 
 (c) Gas Party and Coal
Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other with respect to the location of Gas Party Wells and operations in the Non-Coal Area; provided, however, that if the Parties do not agree on the location of a Well in
the Non-Coal Area, Gas Party shall have the right to determine the location of any such Well. 

  
 4 







 3.3 Plugging, Relocation, and Shut-In Rights and Expenses. 

(a) Protected Wells: Coal Party may require upon reasonable advance notice, but in no event upon less than twelve (12) months’
advance notice, that any Protected Well be (i) plugged and abandoned consistent with mine-through Laws and relocated, in which event Coal Party shall reimburse Gas Party for 100% of the costs associated with the plugging and abandoning of such
Protected Well and compensate Gas Party for then-current fair market value, as determined by Schedule 3.3(a), of such Protected Well, taking into account the Gas Reserves (including proved developed and proved undeveloped) lost due to the
relocation; provided, however, that at Coal Party’s request, Gas Party shall promptly transfer such Well to Coal Party or its designee for such plugging and abandoning consistent with mine-through Laws, and Coal Party shall compensate
Gas Party for the then-current fair market value of such Protected Well, which, taking into account the Gas Reserves and the underlying leases if applicable, shall be determined pursuant to the procedures set forth on Schedule 3.3(a); or
(ii) shut-in (including temporarily plugging) for a period of time, in which event Coal Party shall reimburse Gas Party for any damages reasonably incurred by Gas Party in connection with such shut-in, including any losses (including interest
on such amounts) resulting from the delay in Gas Party receiving net revenues from production from such Protected Well caused by such shut-in. In addition, Coal Party shall compensate Gas Party for losses incurred by Gas Party due to any
lessor’s claims for damages under this Section 3.3(a) that have been finally determined. 
 (b) Non-Protected Wells:
In the event Coal Party reasonably anticipates needing to mine through, or shut in (including temporarily plugging) to allow mine-by of, a Non-Protected Well, Coal Party may require upon reasonable advance notice, but in no event upon less than
twelve (12) months’ advance notice, that any Non-Protected Well be (i) plugged and abandoned consistent with mine-through Laws and relocated, in which event Gas Party shall bear 100% of the costs associated with plugging and
abandoning such Non-Protected Well and 100% of the loss of value of such Well; provided, however, at Coal Party’s request, Gas Party shall promptly transfer such Well to Coal Party or its designee for such plugging and abandoning
consistent with mine-through Laws, and Gas Party shall reimburse Coal Party for all costs associated with such plugging and abandoning; or (ii) shut in, and Gas Party shall bear 100% of any damages incurred by Gas Party in connection with
shutting in, including temporarily plugging, such Non-Protected Well, and if such Well can be reopened, in connection with the reopening of such Well. Coal Party shall not be liable to any other Party for any lost Gas Reserves or lost leases in the
exercise of its rights under this Section 3.3(b). In addition, Gas Party shall compensate Coal Party for losses incurred by Coal Party due to any lessor’s claims for damages under this Section 3.3(b) that have been
finally determined. 
 (c) Non-Well Operations: Coal Party may require at any time that Gas Party relocate (within a reasonable time,
but in no event later than twenty-four (24) months following receipt of such notice) an easement, pipeline, facility, or other related equipment (other than a Well and associated Well equipment) (each, a “Non-Well
Facility”) if any such Non-Well Facility is reasonably expected by Coal Party to interfere with Coal Party’s present or planned operations or uses in, on, or under any of the Coal Interests. Except with respect to the relocation of
any Well (discussed above), all costs and expenses of Gas Party associated with a first relocation shall be borne 100% by Gas Party if at the time of construction it was within a Coal Area; otherwise, such costs and expenses shall be borne 50% by
Gas Party and 50% by Coal Party. Coal Party may require a second or further relocation with respect to any Non-Well Facility; provided, however, that the costs of any such second or further relocation shall be borne


  
 5 







 
solely by Coal Party. With respect to any Non-Well Facility existing in the Pennsylvania Mine Area as of the Execution Date, this Agreement shall govern and supersedes the MCSA, and if such
Non-Well Facility was located in the (i) Coal Area at the time it was constructed, relocation costs and expenses shall be borne 100% by Gas Party and (ii) Non-Coal Area at the time it was constructed, relocation costs and expenses shall be
borne 50% by Gas Party and 50% by Coal Party. 
 (d) Replacement Wells: Subject to Section 3.1 and
Section 3.2, Gas Party shall have the right to drill replacement or recompletion Well(s) to Capture the remaining Gas Reserves on any lease(s) that are stranded as the result of a mine-through of a Well. Gas Party shall use reasonable
efforts and work with Coal Party to locate the replacement Well or recompletion Well in a coal pillar or other location that will not jeopardize the health and safety of the Persons within any coal mine where operations are taking place. The
replacement or recompletion Well will only be drilled after Coal Party’s written consent has been obtained, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. If the replacement or recompletion Well successfully establishes
production from the lease(s), and Gas Party has received compensation from Coal Party under this Agreement, Gas Party shall reimburse Coal Party for the value Gas Party received to the extent production has been restored and Gas Reserves captured by
such successful replacement or recompletion. 
 3.4 Permits. Each Party is responsible for obtaining all permits, title
reports, licenses, and bonds related to its operations in and around the Pennsylvania Mine Complex. Provided that such other Party has complied with its obligations under this Agreement, each Party shall support any other Party’s permitting and
regulatory activities and agrees it will not object, protest, appeal, or interfere with any applications submitted by the other for permits, approvals, or authorizations required by any federal, state, or local regulatory authority and will timely
execute or submit applicable waivers, consents, or other documents as requested by such other Party in accordance with the aforementioned. Applications covered include not only initial applications for a mine permit or Well permit but also
amendments or revisions to existing applications, renewals, six month map filings, or similar submissions after an original application; provided, however, that such supporting Party shall not be required to incur any costs in connection
therewith other than as set forth herein. Each Party agrees, as applicable, to comply in all material respects with all applicable Existing Permits/Agreements burdening the Coal Interests and Gas Interests and to maintain its roads, pipelines and
facilities to the extent that such Party’s failure to so comply or maintain would result in an adverse effect on any other Party. 

3.5 Acquisitions in the Pennsylvania Mine Area. 

(a) Gas Party’s Option to Purchase. Subject to and to the extent not prohibited by or covered under Existing Permits/Agreements,
Coal Party grants to Gas Party the sole, exclusive, and irrevocable right and option (“Gas Party Option”) to purchase and acquire any Gas Interests to the extent such Gas Interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Coal
Gas contained in any coal seam) is purchased, leased, or otherwise acquired by Coal Party after the Execution Date within the Pennsylvania Mine Area. Coal Party shall provide written notice to Gas Party not more than thirty (30) Business Days
after Coal Party’s purchase, lease, or other acquisition of any Gas Interests within the Pennsylvania Mine Area (“Coal Notice”), and, at Gas Party’s written election delivered to Coal Party within thirty
(30) Business Days after Gas 

  
 6 







 
Party’s receipt of a Coal Notice, the Parties shall enter into an agreement for the purchase of such interests in a mutually agreeable form. The purchase price to be paid to Coal Party shall
be determined by a good faith allocation of the consideration paid by Coal Party for each of the estates purchased, leased, or otherwise acquired, and the consideration allocated to such Gas Interests shall be the purchase price; provided,
however, that if no consideration is paid, a good faith estimate of such consideration paid shall be utilized in the allocation; provided further, that to the extent such Gas Interests are not freely conveyable, assignable, or
transferrable, Coal Party shall promptly offer to provide, the beneficial ownership of such Gas Interests to Gas Party, and Coal Party and Gas Party agree to attempt to negotiate in good faith a mutually acceptable means by which Gas Party will
reimburse Coal Party for not more than Coal Party’s fair share of the costs associated with obtaining such Gas Interests. 
 (b) Coal
Party’s Option to Purchase. Subject to and to the extent not prohibited by or covered under Existing Permits/Agreements, Gas Party and the CEI Subsidiaries grant to Coal Party the sole, exclusive, and irrevocable right and option
(“Coal Party Option”) to purchase and acquire any coal seam and/or associated mining rights purchased, leased, or otherwise acquired by Gas Party or any of the CEI Subsidiaries after the Execution Date within the Pennsylvania
Mine Area. Gas Party or the applicable CEI Subsidiary, as applicable, shall provide written notice to Coal Party not more than thirty (30) Business Days after such Party’s purchase, lease, or other acquisition of any seam and/or mining
rights within the Pennsylvania Mine Area (“Gas Notice”), and, at Coal Party’s written election delivered to such Party within thirty (30) Business Days after Coal Party’s receipt of a Gas Notice, the applicable
Parties shall enter into an agreement for the purchase of such coal seam and/or mining rights in a mutually agreeable form. The purchase price to be paid to Gas Party or the CEI Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be determined by a good faith
allocation of the consideration paid by such Party for each of the estates purchased, leased, or otherwise acquired, and the consideration allocated to such coal seams and/or mining rights shall be the purchase price; provided, however, that
if no consideration is paid, a good faith estimate of such consideration paid shall be utilized in the allocation; provided further, that to the extent such coal seams and/or mining rights are not freely conveyable, assignable, or
transferrable, Gas Party or the CEI Subsidiary, as applicable, shall promptly offer to provide the beneficial ownership of such coal seam and/or mining rights to Coal Party, and Gas Party (or the CEI Subsidiary) and Coal Party agree to attempt to
negotiate in good faith a mutually acceptable means by which Coal Party will reimburse Gas Party (or the CEI Subsidiary) for not more than such Party’s fair share of the costs associated with obtaining such coal seam and/or mining rights. 

3.6 As-Built Drawings; Drilling Procedures. In the event any new surface facilities are constructed or surface real property
improvements made by a Party, the constructing Party shall promptly provide any other Party with As-Built Construction Drawings showing the nature and location of such new construction or improvement as are available to the constructing Party. The
procedures set forth in Schedule 3.6 will be followed when drilling Wells in the Pennsylvania Mine Area after the Execution Date.

SURFACE USE 
 5.1
Surface Use Rights. Each Party shall have the right, on a non-exclusive basis and, except as provided below, free of charge, to use and access any other Party’s surface rights to the extent reasonably necessary for such Parties’
operations (“Surface Use Rights”) within the Pennsylvania Mine Area or outside the Pennsylvania Mine Area, including, with respect to Gas Party, the right to transport Third Party Gas or the right to support operations of Gas
Party, its partners, joint venturers, co-working interest owners, or any of its joint ventures. The Parties shall comply with reasonable requirements with respect to operations or activities that utilize Surface Use Rights. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, any Party may sell any Surface Use Rights held by such Party; provided, however, such Party shall provide the other Parties with written notice of such intention on or before forty-five (45) days prior to the date
such sale is to be consummated (a “Surface Sale Notice”). Each Surface Sale Notice shall include a description of those portions of the Surface Use Rights that will be sold pursuant to such proposed sale. Within thirty
(30) days of its receipt of a Surface Sale Notice, each Party shall have the right to deliver a Surface Easement Request to the Representative of the Party proposing such sale with respect to the Surface Use Right that is subject to such
Surface Sale Notice. Following its receipt of a Surface Easement Request pursuant to this Section 5.1, the Party proposing such sale shall use its reasonable discretion (exercised in good faith) to determine (prior to the date such
Surface Use Right is to be sold) if such Surface Easement Request (i) is sufficiently specific in nature and (ii) would not materially impair the value of the Surface Use Right which is subject to such proposed sale. Should such Party be
satisfied that both clause (i) and clause (ii) of this Section 5.1 are satisfied by such requested easement, and subject to (A) any restrictions under an applicable Existing Permit/Agreement and (B) the
other terms of this Agreement, then such Party shall prepare and deliver such easement to the requesting Party prior to the date such Surface Use Right is sold. 

  
 10 







 5.2 Surface Easement Requests. 

(a) A Party may submit written requests to any other Party for specific easements and rights of way across the Surface Use Rights as reasonably
necessary for such Party to develop its operations (“Surface Easement Request”), which such Surface Easement Request shall include (i) a description of the surface easement being requested, including its specific
purpose, (ii) a plat showing the approximate location, scope, and length of such surface easement, and (iii) a description of the Surface Use Rights that would be affected by such surface easement. 

(b) Following its receipt of a Surface Easement Request, not later than forty-five (45) calendar days after receipt thereof, the Party
receiving such Surface Easement Request shall use reasonable discretion (exercised in good faith) to determine if such Surface Easement Request (i) is sufficiently specific in nature and (ii) would not materially impair the value of the
surface right or other asset which is subject to such Surface Easement Request. Should the Party receiving such Surface Easement Request be satisfied that both clause (i) and clause (ii) of this Section 5.2(b) be satisfied by
such Surface Easement Request, and subject to any restrictions under applicable Existing Permits/Agreements and the other terms of this Agreement, such Party shall prepare and deliver such surface easement to the requesting Party; provided,
however, such surface easement shall contain language that it is subject to (i) any applicable restrictions under any Existing Permits/Agreements, (ii) the other terms of this Agreement, and (iii) any applicable Laws. 

(c) Any surface easement delivered to a Party pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be in recordable form and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the requesting Party. Any surface easement granted pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and shall be binding upon the Parties’ respective successors
and assigns in accordance with its terms, which easement shall contain language that it is non-exclusive and revocable and subject to (i) any applicable restrictions under any Existing Permits/Agreements, (ii) any applicable terms of this
Agreement, including a granting Party’s right to require relocation in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, granting Party shall have no right to require relocation of, and the terms and conditions of any easements granted
shall not include relocation provisions for, any slope, shaft, impoundment, overland belt, or substation easements granted to Coal Party, and (iii) any applicable Laws. 

5.3 Reimbursement of Certain Costs. A Party granted Surface Use Rights (the “Grantee”) by any other
Party (“Grantor”) shall (a) reimburse Grantor for certain maintenance and third party costs attributable to Grantee’s exercise of such Surface Use Rights, including, Third Party consultants’ fees, experts’
fees, bonding costs and fees, permit fees, demolition and disposal expenses and fees, and governmental and regulatory taxes and fees and (b) pay for any costs incurred with respect to Grantee’s usage of services arising out of such Surface
Use Rights, including actual power used or fluid disposal costs. If the Surface Use Rights to be granted are on surface acquired by Grantor after the Execution Date, Grantee shall, prior to delivery of the Easement, pay to Grantor fair market value
of the surface that is associated with the Surface Use Rights to be granted to Grantee. 
 5.4 Other Surface Facilities. The
Parties shall cooperate to reach a mutually agreeable arrangement regarding the use of all other surface facilities.

 5.5 License Use Rights. The following non-exclusive, revocable
licenses are granted, as set forth in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.5(b), below (collectively, such revocable licenses, the “License Use Rights”), to the extent such License Use Rights are reasonably necessary in
connection with Gas Party’s operations with respect to its Gas Rights within the Pennsylvania Mine Area or Gas Party’s operations with respect to its Gas Interests or Gas operations outside of the Pennsylvania Mine Area, or with respect to
Section 5.5(b) to the extent such License Use Rights are reasonably necessary in connection with Coal Party’s operations with respect to its Coal Rights within the Pennsylvania Mine Area, and the exercise of such License Use Rights
will be subject to and limited by (i) the terms of this Agreement and all applicable Laws and (ii) the terms of all Existing Permits/Agreements. 

(a) Disposal or Storage of Fluids. Subject to Article III herein and only to the extent such disposal or storage is permitted by
applicable Laws, the terms of the instruments creating the Coal Interests, and the terms of all Existing Permits/Agreements, Coal Party grants to Gas Party a license for the purpose of disposing of (i) any fluid or liquid from any Well or
System within the Pennsylvania Mine Area, or (ii) any fluid or liquid from any other Gas Well or System outside of the Pennsylvania Mine Area in which such Well or System Gas Party has an interest or control, in each case, into any void owned
or controlled by any Coal Party that is located in any mine in the Pennsylvania Mine Area where the underground areas thereof have been permanently closed and where such disposal or storage will not, in Coal Party’s sole, reasonable discretion,
determined in good faith in accordance with prudent mining activities, affect ongoing mining operations in any way. Coal Party agrees not to object to any permit or other regulatory filing or application of Gas Party with respect to the use of any
such void, including cooperation on the resolution of all regulatory proceedings and litigation. Coal Party further agrees not to object to any permit or other regulatory filing or application of Gas Party with respect to the use of a void and to
timely execute any waiver or consent with respect to such permit, regulatory filing, or application upon the written request of Gas Party; and in any event, to execute such waiver or consent not less than three (3) Business Days from Coal
Party’s receipt of such written request for a written waiver or consent. 
 (b) Power Lines and Substations. Gas Party or Coal
Party may access and draw electrical power from any power line or substation of the other when necessary or convenient for operations related to its rights hereunder but only if and to the extent a power line or substation owned, constructed, or
controlled by the other in the Pennsylvania Mine Area has surplus power or has the capacity to provide surplus power, and to the extent permitted by all applicable Laws and the terms of all Existing Permits/Agreements; provided, however,
that, upon demand, accessing Party shall reimburse at cost the other Party for any usage of power in connection with the foregoing. To the extent not already accomplished in other documents, Coal Party and Gas Party hereby grant to the other a
license to access and draw electrical power from other’s power lines and substations consistent with the foregoing for the term of this Agreement. Gas Party and Coal Party shall, upon demand, pay to the other its ratable share of all operating
expenses and, with respect to any power line or substation constructed after the Execution Date, Gas Party’s ratable share of all capital costs relating to power lines and substations owned, constructed, or controlled by Coal Party and
benefiting Gas Party or Gas Party and benefiting Coal Party.

 5.6 License Requests By Gas Party or Coal Party. In order for Gas Party or Coal
Party to exercise its License Use Rights, it shall request from the other specific, revocable licenses (each such revocable license, a “License”). Each such request (a “License Request”) made pursuant
to this Section 5.6 shall be made in writing and shall include (i) a description of the License being requested, including its specific purpose, and (ii) a description of the surface rights or other assets, as applicable, that
would be affected by such License. Following the receipt of a License Request pursuant to this Section 5.6 the Party receiving such License Request shall use reasonable discretion (exercised in good faith) to determine if such License
Request (x) is sufficiently specific in nature and (y) would not materially impair the value of the surface right or other asset which is subject to such License Request. Should the Party receiving such License Request be satisfied that
both clause (x) and clause (y) of this Section 5.6 be satisfied by such requested License, and subject to any restrictions under applicable Existing Permits/Agreements and the other terms of this Agreement, such Party shall
prepare and deliver, without cost or fees to the other, such License; provided, however, such License shall contain language that it is non-exclusive and revocable and subject to (A) any applicable restrictions under any Existing
Permits/Agreements, (B) the other terms of this Agreement, and (C) any applicable Laws. 
 5.7 Reimbursement of License
Costs. With respect to any License Use Rights, Gas Party and Coal Party will reimburse the other for any costs (i) associated with the maintenance of that portion of the other assets pertaining to such License Use Rights (on the
basis of usage or other allocation methodology reasonably calculated to reflect Gas Party’s use of such portion of the other assets held by Coal Party in proportion to the total use of such asset), (ii) any direct or Third Party costs
payable under permits and/or any Third Party agreement burdening such portion of the other assets pertaining to the exercise of such License Use Rights, and (iii) any Third Party consultants’ fees, experts’ fees, bonding costs and
fees, permit fees, demolition and disposal expenses and fees, governmental and regulatory taxes and fees, and other reasonable Third Party expenses paid by Coal Party to the extent directly attributable to Gas Party’s use of the other assets.

 5.8 Form of Licenses. Any License delivered to Gas Party or Coal Party pursuant to Section 5.6 shall be
in recordable form and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Party to which it was delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, any License granted pursuant to Section 5.6 shall be non-exclusive and revocable and shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and shall be binding upon the granting Party’s respective successors and assigns in accordance with its terms.

8.14 General Principles—Litigation. Coal Party and Gas Party anticipate that legal issues and litigation
hearings, proceedings, and appeals may arise involving Coal Interests and Coal Gas, including ownership issues, lease interpretation issues, title issues, and regulatory issues related thereto, all of which are contemplated by this
Section 8.14. Therefore, the basic principles set forth below shall be followed to the extent, and only to the extent, that Coal Party and Gas Party have a joint and not adverse interest with respect to such Coal Interests and Coal Gas.
Notice. Coal Party shall promptly notify Gas Party, and Gas Party shall notify Coal Party, of any challenge or threat to the title of its lessor(s), or claim of ownership to any Coal Gas, regardless of whether such challenge or claim is oral
or written. 
 (b) No Compromise. Gas Party shall not release, terminate, exchange, assign, or in any manner compromise Coal
Party’s claims to Coal Interests in the Pennsylvania Mine Area without the prior written approval of Coal Party. Coal Party shall not release, terminate, exchange, assign, or in any manner compromise Gas Party’s claims to Coal Gas within
the Pennsylvania Mine Area without the prior written approval of Gas Party.

keep confidential all information obtained from any other Party which information is nonpublic and confidential or proprietary in nature (including any information any Party specifically designates as confidential), except as provided 

  
 18 







 
below, and use such information only in connection with their respective capacities under this Agreement and for the purposes contemplated hereby. Each Party shall be permitted to disclose such
information (i) to any Affiliates, outside legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors who need to know such information in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement, or to any Person who is a
prospective purchaser of an interest that may be subject to this Agreement, including any Coal Interest or Gas Interest, subject to agreement of such Persons to maintain the confidentiality thereof, (ii) to the extent required by applicable Law
or by any subpoena or similar legal process, or in connection with any investigation or proceeding arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) if it becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Agreement or becomes available from a source not known to be subject to confidentiality restrictions, (iv) in connection with the exercise, preservation, or protection of any right or remedy hereunder, applicable Law, or equity, or (v) if
such other Party shall have consented to such disclosure, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.

restated in its entirety, to the extent and only to the extent of the Pennsylvania Mine Area. Except as otherwise expressly amended and restated herein as to the Pennsylvania Mine Area, the MCSA remains in full force and effect as to all other areas
outside the Pennsylvania Mine Area. 
 8.17 Choice of Law; Mediation; Submission to Jurisdiction. 

(a) To resolve disputes other than those disputes governed by Schedule 3.3(a), the Parties shall comply with the dispute resolution
procedures in this Section 8.17. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this
Agreement to the laws of another state. The Parties shall inform one another promptly following the occurrence or discovery of any item or event that shall reasonably be expected to result in a dispute in connection with this Agreement. The Parties
will attempt to resolve any such matters prior to submitting them to Senior Officers as contemplated by Section 8.17(b). 
 (b)
Should a dispute arise that the Parties cannot resolve pursuant to Section 8.17(a) within ten (10) days after being informed thereof, a Party may deliver to the other Party written notice of the dispute with supporting documentation
as to the circumstances leading to the dispute (“Notice of Dispute”). The Notice of Dispute shall include a schedule of the availability of the notifying Party’s senior officers duly authorized to settle the dispute,
subject to any necessary company approvals that may be needed (“Senior Officers”), during the 30-day period following the delivery of the Notice of Dispute. Within seven (7) days after delivery of the Notice, the other
Party shall provide a schedule of the availability of such other Party’s Senior Officers during the remainder of the 30-day period following the delivery of the Notice of Dispute. Following delivery of the Senior Officers’ schedules of
availability, the Senior Officers shall meet and confer as often as they deem reasonably necessary during the remainder of the 30-day period in good faith negotiations to resolve the dispute amicably. The Parties in their sole discretion may also
agree to utilize the service of a mediator pursuant to a joint engagement. 

  
 19 







 (c) If the Parties cannot resolve any dispute or claim arising under this Agreement within thirty
(30) days following the receipt of the Notice of Dispute, then no earlier than ten (10) days, nor more than sixty (60) days following written notice to the other Parties, any Party may initiate mandatory, non-binding mediation
hereunder by giving a notice of mediation (a “Mediation Notice”) to the other Parties to the dispute or claim. In connection with any mediation pursuant to this Section 8.17, the mediator shall be jointly
appointed by the Parties to the dispute or claim and the mediation shall be conducted in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties to the dispute or claim. All costs and expenses of the mediator appointed pursuant to this
Section 8.17 shall be shared equally by the Parties to the dispute or claim. The then-current Model ADR Procedures for Mediation of Business Disputes of the Center for Public Resources, Inc., either as written or as modified by
mutual agreement of the Parties to the dispute or claim, shall govern any mediation pursuant to this Section 8.17. In the mediation, each Party to the dispute or claim shall be represented by one or more Senior Officers. If a
dispute or claim has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Mediation Notice by a Party, then any Party to the dispute or claim may refer the resolution of the dispute or claim to litigation. 

(d) Subject to Section 8.17(c), to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Party agrees that it shall bring any action or

 Schedule 3.3(a) 

Valuation Formula 
 Part I - Lost
Reserves Producing Well: 
  

	 	1)	Wells that are classified as a Protected Well will utilize a valuation amount based on the present value, discounted at eight percent (8%) from the most recent Reserves Database prior to the Protected Well being
taken out of production (the “Producing Well Valuation Amount”). This will be based on the current forecast along with current future pricing at current operating costs with a three percent (3%) escalation and will have
a valuation date equal to the first calendar day of the first month after the month in which such Protected Well is taken off production. 

  

	 	2)	The commodity pricing to be used in determining the Producing Well Valuation Amount shall be the most current NYMEX Strip for gas and oil. The price for condensate liquids and natural gas liquids will be eighty percent
(80%) and fifty percent (50%), respectively of the NYMEX Strip Oil Pricing. The NYMEX Strip Pricing is used for five (5) years and escalated at three percent (3%) thereafter, and adjusted for basis and hydrocarbon quality (gas
BTU/Mcf). 

 Part II – Underlying Lease / Undeveloped Well: 

The Parties agree that Gas Party shall be entitled to compensation with respect to a lease or leases underlying a Protected Well which is required to be
plugged and abandoned pursuant to Section 3.3 if, and only if, the following conditions are met (the “Lease Compensation Conditions”): 
  

	 	1)	The lease(s) underlying such Protected Well which is to be plugged and abandoned pursuant to Section 3.3(a), will, even after making any available delay rentals or shut-in payments, be lost due to such
plugging and abandonment (such lease(s), the “Underlying Lease(s)”); 

  

	 	2)	Gas Party is not able to drill another Well, paid for by the Coal Party, on the Underlying Lease which would hold such Underlying Lease while Coal Party’s operations are preventing Gas Party from conducting
operations on such Underlying Lease (such period of time, the “P&A Period”); 

  

	 	3)	Gas Party is not able to pool all or any portion of such Underlying Lease with any adjacent lands and/or an adjacent unit in order to hold the Underlying Lease by production during the P&A Period; and


  

	 	4)	The Underlying Lease is actually lost as a result of the plugging and abandonment of the related Protected Well pursuant to Section 3.3(a). 


  
 SCHEDULE
3.3(A) – PAGE 1 







 If the Lease Compensation Conditions are met with respect to an Underlying Lease, Coal Party which requested the
relocation of the Protected Well located on such Underlying Lease shall compensate Gas Party for such Underlying Lease through the payment to such Gas Party of the mutually agreed fair market value of such Underlying Lease (the “Lease
Compensation Amount”). 
 The Gas Party will calculate the Lease Compensation Amount as outlined below. 

 

	 	1)	Leases lost as a result of a Protected Well being plugged and abandoned will utilize a valuation amount based on the present value, discounted at twelve percent (12%) from the most recent type curves (the
“Underlying Lease Valuation Amount”). The type curves will be utilized for all potential formations at a seven thousand foot lateral length. The Underlying Lease Valuation Amount will be based on current future pricing at
current operating costs with a three percent (3%) escalation. 

  

	 	2)	Valuation date equal to the first calendar day of the first month after the month in which such Protected Well is taken off production. Production and cashflows will begin assuming the well is turned-in-iine 2 years
after the valuation date. 

  

	 	3)	Capital estimates will be based upon the most recent budget update associated with the seven thousand foot type curve for the area and formations. 


 

	 	4)	The commodity pricing to be used in determining the Underlying Lease Valuation Amount shall be the most current NYMEX Strip for gas and oil. The price for condensate liquids and natural gas liquids will be eighty
percent (80%) and fifty percent (50%), respectively of the NYMEX Strip Oil Pricing. The NYMEX Strip Pricing is used for five (5) years and escalated at three percent (3%) thereafter, and adjusted for basis and hydrocarbon quality (gas
BTU/Mcf). 

  

	 	5)	The Underlying Lease Valuation Amount as calculated from the above steps will be divided by the appropriate drainage area as defined by the type curves. This allows a determination of the per acre Lease Compensation
Amount. The net acres for the lost lease is then multiplied by the per acre Lease Compensation Amount to determine a total Lease Compensation Amount.

 Schedule 3.6 

Drilling Procedures 
 The following
procedures will be followed when drilling Wells in the Coal Area: 
 (a) Gas Party will plan and execute drilling operations in accordance
with applicable Laws. 
 (b) Gas Party will immediately notify Coal Party should drilling operations lose circulation, have significant loss
of pressure, have a casing failure, or suffer any other catastrophic event that occurs during drilling operations or during the life of the Well. 

(c) Gas Party will provide Coal Party with written notification at least 5 business days prior to the commencement of Well drilling activities
to provide sufficient time for Coal Party to verify that the surveyed location of the proposed Well is the same as the permitted location. 

(d) Gas Party and Coal Party shall establish and maintain a base survey control to assure that Well drilling activities are conducted at the
proper location in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Gas Party will notify Coal Party of the Well location prior to commencement of the Well drilling activities. Gas Party and Coal Party will each be responsible for the associated costs
of their respective surveying work. 
 (e) For Well drilling operations in the Coal Area, Gas Party will use water, water sprays, drilling
soap, or other drilling fluids approved by Coal Party while drilling from the surface casing, if surface casing is installed in the Well, until the coal protection casing is effectively installed and cemented to the surface. 

(f) Upon completion of drilling at 30 feet above the top of the coal seam, Gas Party will perform a deviation survey that includes gyroscopic
reading within 100 feet of the top of the coal formation by an independent, qualified well service provider, which will determine the approximate location of the bottom of the wellbore. Gas Party will notify Coal Party of the deviation survey
results before continuation of drilling. 
 (g) In the active mine area only, should the well deviation survey determine that the well is
within 1% of the required area, Coal Party will notify Gas Party that all personnel have exited the mine area before drilling resumes. After notification is received that all personnel have exited the mine, Gas Party may continue drilling down to
and through the active coal seam to a minimum of 10 feet below the bottom of the coal formation. 
 (h) In the active mine area, Gas Party
will cease drilling operations should drilling lose circulation within the range of 30 feet above to 10 feet below the coal formation, and plug the Well with cement to surface. Gas Party will provide all records and certified results of the
deviation survey to the Coal Party. 

  
 SCHEDULE
3.6 – PAGE 1 







 (i) In the active mine area, Gas Party will execute operations within the Well to correct
deviation greater than 1%, as determined by the deviation survey, to assure the Well penetrates through the coal formation within the required 1% deviation. If Gas Party is unable to drill the Well through the coal formation within the 1% deviation
limit, Gas Party will plug the Well with cement to surface. 
 (j) Gas Party will perform methane testing every 20 minutes while drilling
within the range of 30 feet above to 10 feet below the coal formation. Drilling operations will cease should methane levels exceed 1% and procedures to reduce methane levels below 1% will commence.
