 In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in
its entirety as follows: 
 ARTICLE I. 
 AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES 
 Section 1.1 Purchase Facility. 
 (a) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, each Conduit Purchaser hereby agrees, ratably based on its respective Commitment, to purchase, and
make reinvestments in, and the LC Bank hereby agrees (if so requested) to issue Letters of Credit in return for (and each LC Participant hereby severally agrees to make participation advances in connection with any draws under such Letters of Credit
equal to such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such draws), undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date. 
 The Seller may, subject to the remainder of this paragraph (a) and the other requirements and conditions herein, use the proceeds of any
purchase or reinvestment by the Conduit Purchasers hereunder to satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation to the LC Bank and the LC Participants (ratably, based on the outstanding amounts funded by the LC Bank and each such LC Participant) pursuant to
Section 1.14 below. 
 In addition, in the event the Seller fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing
under any Letter of Credit on the applicable Drawing Date (out of its own funds available therefor, or otherwise, at such time), pursuant to Section 1.14 below, then the Seller shall, automatically (and without the requirement of any
further action on the part of any Person hereunder), be deemed to have requested a new purchase from the Conduit Purchasers on such date, pursuant to the terms hereof, in an amount equal to the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation at such time.
Subject to the limitations on funding set forth in the remainder of this paragraph (a) below (and the other requirements and conditions herein), the Conduit Purchasers shall fund such deemed purchase request and deliver the proceeds
thereof directly to the Administrator to be immediately distributed (ratably) to the LC Bank and the applicable LC Participants in satisfaction of the Seller’s Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 1.14 below, to the extent
of the amounts permitted to be funded by the Conduit Purchasers, at such time, hereunder. 
 Notwithstanding anything set forth in this
paragraph (a) or otherwise herein to the contrary, under no circumstances shall any Purchaser make any such purchase or reinvestment (including, without limitation, any deemed purchases by the Conduit Purchasers pursuant to the
immediately preceding paragraphs of this Section 1.1(a)), or issue any Letter of Credit, as applicable, if, after giving effect to such purchase, reinvestment or issuance, the (i) aggregate outstanding amount of the Capital funded
by such Purchaser shall exceed (A) its Purchaser 

  

 2 








 
Group’s Group Commitment, as the same may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 1.1(b), minus (B) in the case of any LC
Participant, such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the aggregate outstanding Capital plus the LC Participation Amount would exceed the Purchase Limit. 
 (b) The Seller may, upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the Administrator, terminate the purchase facility provided in this Section in whole
or, upon at least 30 days’ written notice to the Administrator, from time to time, irrevocably reduce in part the unused portion of the Purchase Limit; provided, that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and that, unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $50,000,000. Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Purchasers in
accordance with their respective pro rata shares. The Administrator shall promptly advise the Purchaser Agents of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 1.1(b); it being understood that (in addition to and without limiting
any other requirements for termination, prepayment and/or the funding of the LC Collateral Account hereunder) no such termination or reduction shall be effective unless and until (i) in the case of a termination, the amount on deposit in the LC
Collateral Account is at least equal to the then outstanding LC Participation Amount and (ii) in the case of a partial reduction, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the positive difference between the then
outstanding LC Participation Amount and the Purchase Limit as so reduced by such partial reduction. 
 Section 1.2 Making Purchases.

 (a) Each Funded Purchase (but not reinvestment) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder
shall be made upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B (the “Purchase Notice”) delivered to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 5.2 (which notice
must be received by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time) at least two Business Days before the requested purchase date, which notice shall specify: (A) in the case of a Funded Purchase (other than
one made pursuant to Section 1.14(b)), the amount requested to be paid to the Seller with respect to each Conduit Purchaser (such amount, which shall not be less than $300,000 (or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof), or
such lesser amount as is agreed to by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, with respect to each Purchaser Group, being the Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being purchased by such Conduit Purchaser),
(B) the date of such Funded Purchase (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the increase in Capital. 
 (b) On the date of each Funded Purchase (but not reinvestment or issuance of a Letter of Credit) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard
to the Purchased Interest hereunder, each Conduit Purchaser (or the related Purchaser Agent on its behalf) shall, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Exhibit II, make available to the Seller in same day funds, at PNC Bank,
National Association, account number 1017289343, ABA 043000096 or any other account designated by the Seller, an amount equal to its Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being purchased. 
  

 3 








 (c) Effective on the date of each Funded Purchase pursuant to this Section and each reinvestment pursuant
to Section 1.4, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers (ratably based on the sum of the Capital plus the LC Participation Amount outstanding at such time,) an undivided percentage
ownership interest in: (i) each Pool Receivable then existing, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivables and Related
Security. 
 (d) To secure all of the Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers a security interest in
all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of the Seller) in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related
Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) the Lock-Box Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time
evidencing such Lock-Box Accounts and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller under the Sale Agreement and the CONSOL Guaranty, and (vi) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable
under any or all of, the foregoing (collectively, the “Pool Assets”). The Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available
to the Administrator and the Purchasers, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. 
 (e) Whenever the LC Bank
issues a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof, each LC Participant shall, automatically and without further action of any kind upon the effective date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, have irrevocably been deemed to make a
Funded Purchase hereunder in the event that such Letter of Credit is subsequently drawn and such drawn amount shall not have been reimbursed pursuant to Section 1.14 upon such draw. All such Funded Purchases shall be made ratably by the LC
Participants according to their Pro Rata Shares and shall accrue Discount from the date of such draw. In the event that any Letter of Credit expires or is surrendered without being drawn (in whole or in part) then, in such event, the foregoing
commitment to make Funded Purchases shall expire with respect to such Letter of Credit and the LC Participation Amount shall automatically reduce by the amount of the Letter of Credit which is no longer outstanding. 
 Section 1.3 Purchased Interest Computation. 
 The Purchased Interest shall be initially computed on the date of the initial purchase hereunder. Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, the Purchased Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each
Business Day other than a Termination Day. The Purchased Interest as computed (or deemed recomputed) as of the day before the Facility Termination Date shall thereafter remain constant. The Purchased Interest shall become zero when (a) the
Capital thereof and Discount thereon shall have been paid in full, (b) an amount equal to 100% of the LC Participation Amount has been deposited in the LC Collateral Account, or all Letters of Credit have expired and (c) all the amounts
owed by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder to each Purchaser, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person are paid in full, and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicing Fee thereon.

 Section 1.4 Settlement Procedures. 
 (a) The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the
Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Termination Day and current computations of the Purchased Interest. 
 (b) The Servicer shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received (or deemed received) by the Seller or the Servicer: 

(i) set aside and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the
Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers), out of the Purchasers’ Share of such Collections, first, an amount equal to the Purchasers’ aggregate amount of Discount accrued through such day for each Portion of Capital and not
previously set aside, second, an amount equal to the fees set forth in the Fee Letters accrued and unpaid through such day, and third, to the extent funds are available therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s
Ratable Share of the Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously set aside, 
 (ii) subject to
Section 1.4(f), if such day is not a Termination Day, remit to the Seller, ratably, on behalf of each Purchaser Group, the remainder of the Purchasers’ Share of such Collections. Such remainder shall, to the extent representing a
return on the aggregate Capital, be automatically deemed to be reinvested in Pool Receivables, and in the Related Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto ratably, according to each Purchaser’s Capital; provided, however,
that if the Purchased Interest would exceed 100%, then the Servicer shall not reinvest, but shall set aside and hold in trust for Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a
separate account approved by the Administrator) a portion of such Collections that, together with the other Collections set aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%; provided,
further, that in the case of any Purchaser that has provided notice (an “Exiting Notice”) to its Purchaser Agent of its refusal, to extend its Commitment hereunder (an “Exiting Purchaser”), then such Exiting
Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections based on its Capital shall not be reinvested (after the termination of its Commitment) and shall instead be held in trust for Administrator (for the benefit of such Exiting Purchaser) and applied in
accordance with clause (iii) below, 
 (iii) if such day is a Termination Day (or any day following the provision of an Exiting
Notice), set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of each
Purchaser Group the entire remainder of the Purchasers’ Share of the Collections (or in the case of an Exiting Purchaser an amount equal to such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections based on its Capital; provided, that
solely for the purpose of determining such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections, such Purchaser’s Capital shall be deemed to remain constant from the date of the provision of an 

  

 5 








 
Exiting Notice until the date such Purchaser’s Capital has been paid in full; it being understood that if such day is also a Termination Day, such
Exiting Purchaser’s Capital shall be recalculated taking into account amounts received by such Purchaser in respect of this parenthetical and thereafter Collections shall be set aside for such Purchaser ratably in respect of its Capital (as
recalculated)); provided, that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any Termination Day of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Day” and, thereafter, the conditions set forth in Section 2
of Exhibit II are satisfied or waived by the appropriate Person or Persons, such previously set-aside amounts shall, to the extent representing a return on aggregate Capital (other than the Capital of any Exiting Purchaser) and ratably in
accordance with each Purchaser’s (other than an Exiting Purchaser) Capital, be reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions, and 
 (iv) release to the Seller (subject to Section 1.4(f)) for its own account any Collections in excess of: (x) amounts required to be
reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) or the proviso to clause (iii) plus (y) the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to clause (i), the proviso to clause (ii) and clause (iii) plus
(z) the Seller’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued and unpaid through such day plus (aa) all other amounts then due and payable by the Seller under this Agreement to any Purchasers, the Administrator, and any other Indemnified Party or
Affected Person. 
 (c) The Servicer shall deposit into each Purchaser Agent’s account (as designated by such Purchaser Agent to
Servicer on or prior to the date hereof, or such other account designated by such Purchaser to Servicer from time to time), on each Settlement Date, Collections held for the applicable Purchaser, pursuant to clause (b)(i) or (f) plus the
amount of Collections then held for the Administrator (for the benefit of such Purchaser) pursuant to clauses (b)(ii) and (iii) of Section 1.4; provided, that if CONSOL Energy or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer,
such day is not a Termination Day and the Administrator has not notified CONSOL Energy (or such Affiliate) that such right is revoked, CONSOL Energy (or such Affiliate) may retain the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to clause
(b)(i) that represents the aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of the Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee. On the last day of each Settlement Period, each Purchaser or (its Purchaser Agent) will notify the Servicer by
facsimile of the amount of Discount accrued with respect to each Portion of Capital during such Settlement Period or portion thereof. 
 (d)
Upon receipt of funds deposited pursuant to clause (c), each Purchaser Agent shall cause such funds to be distributed as follows: 
 (i) if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Termination Day and the Purchased Interest does not exceed 100%, first to such Purchaser Agent ratably according to the Discount accrued during the applicable Settlement Period (for the
benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount and fees (other than Servicing Fees) with respect to each Portion of Capital maintained by such Purchasers; it being
understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably according to the Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital maintained by such Purchaser, and second, if the Servicer has
set aside amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee pursuant to clause (b)(i) and has not retained such amounts pursuant to clause (c), to the Servicer (payable in arrears on each Settlement Date) in payment in full of the aggregate of
each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of the Purchaser’s Share of accrued Servicing Fees so set aside, and 
  

 6 








 (ii) if such distribution occurs on a Termination Day or on a day when the Purchased Interest exceeds
100%, first to such Purchaser Agent ratably according to Discount (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital
funded or maintained by the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, second to such Purchaser Agent ratably according to the aggregate of the Capital of each Purchaser in each such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group (for
the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of each Purchaser’s Capital (or, if such day is not a Termination Day, such Purchaser’s ratable share of the amount necessary to
reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%), third, to the Servicer in payment in full of the aggregate of such Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of all accrued Servicing Fees, fourth, to the LC Collateral Account for the benefit of the LC Bank and
the LC Participants, the amount necessary to cash collateralized the LC Participation Amount until the amount of cash collateral held in such LC Collateral Account equals the aggregate outstanding amount of the LC Participation Amount and if the
Capital and accrued Discount with respect to the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group’s percentage interest of Capital have been reduced to zero or if such day is not a Termination Day, the Purchased Interest is reduced to 100%, and all accrued
Servicing Fees payable to the Servicer have been paid in full, to the Administrator for distribution to each Purchaser, each Purchaser Agent, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person any other amounts then owed thereto by
the Seller hereunder, ratably in accordance with the amounts due thereto. 
 After the Capital, Discount, fees payable pursuant to the Fee Letters and
Servicing Fees with respect to the Purchased Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller and the Servicer to each Purchaser Group, the Administrator or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder, have been paid in full, and
(on and after a Termination Day) after an amount equal to 100% of the LC Participation Amount has been deposited in the LC Collateral Account, all additional Collections with respect to the Purchased Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own
account. 
 (e) For the purposes of this Section 1.4: 
 (i) if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or
foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or any setoff or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller and an
Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment; 
 (ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 1(g) or (n) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have
received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full; 
 (iii) except as provided in clause (i) or (ii), or
as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any 

  

 7 








 
Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless
such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and 
 (iv) if and to the extent the Administrator or
any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so
received by the Administrator or such Purchaser but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, the Administrator or such Purchaser, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the
extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof 
 (f) If at any time the Seller shall wish to
cause the reduction of Capital (but not to commence the liquidation, or reduction to zero, of the entire Capital of the Purchased Interest), the Seller may do so as follows: 
 (i) the Seller shall give the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Servicer written notice in the form of Annex C (the “Paydown
Notice”) at least two Business Days prior to the date of such reduction; 
 (ii) On the proposed date of the commencement of such
reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall cause Collections not to be reinvested until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction; and 
 (iii) the Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the Purchasers ratably (based on their respective Portions of Capital funded thereby), for
payment to the Purchaser Agents on the next Settlement Date immediately following the current Settlement Period or such other date approved by the Purchaser Agents, and Capital shall be deemed reduced in the amount to be paid to the Purchaser Agents
only when in fact finally so paid. 
 Section 1.5 Fees. 
 The Seller shall pay to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of the related Purchasers certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in certain fee letters, among (i) CONSOL Energy, the Seller and the
applicable Purchaser Agent dated the date hereof, and (ii) CONSOL Energy, the Seller, and each Purchaser Agent other than the Purchaser Group to which Market Street and Liberty Street Funding Corp. are members dated as of the date such
Purchaser Group becomes party to this Agreement (as such letter agreements may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Fee Letters”). 
 Section 1.6 Payments and Computations, Etc. 
 (a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than noon, New York City, New York time on the day when due
in same day funds to each Purchaser Agent’s account. All amounts received after noon, New York City, New York time, will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. 
  

 8 








 (b) The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay
interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand. 
 (c) All computations of interest under clause (b) and all computations of Discount, fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the
basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due
on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit. 
 Section 1.7 Increased Costs and Yield Protection. 
 (a) If the Administrator, any Liquidity Provider, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, any other Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) reasonably
determines that the existence of or compliance with: (i) FIN 46 and Subsequent Statements and Interpretations described in Section 1.7(c) below, (ii) any other law, regulation or generally accepted accounting principle or any change
therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority or other applicable Person charged with or having the responsibility or authority to make such interpretations or applications, in each case adopted, issued or
occurring after the date hereof, or (iii) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or occurring after the date of this Agreement, affects or would
affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person, and such Affected Person reasonably determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make
purchases of (or otherwise to maintain the investment in) Pool Receivables or issue any Letter of Credit related to this Agreement or any related liquidity facility, credit enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, then, upon
demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents), the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Affected Person for both increased costs and maintenance of bargained for yield in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any
of such commitments. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller, the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Affected Person shall use
reasonable efforts to notify the Seller, orally or in writing, of any event described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above (Seller is aware of FIN 46 and Subsequent Statements and the Interpretations described in clause (i) above and in
Section 1.7(c) below) that appears likely to result in a claim for compensation (for increased costs or maintenance of bargained for yield) under this Section promptly after the Affected Person learns of such an event and that it will have
adverse implications upon such Affected Person, provided that any failure to give such notice shall not preclude such Affected Person from asserting such a claim for compensation at any time. 
  

 9 








 (b) If, due to either: (i) FIN 46 and Subsequent Statements and Interpretations, (ii) the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation by a Governmental Authority or other applicable Person charged with or having the responsibility or authority to make such changes or interpretations after the date hereof of any other law,
regulation or generally accepted accounting standard or (iii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to
any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, the Purchased Interest in respect of which Discount is computed by reference to the Euro-Rate, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the
Administrator and the Purchaser Agents), the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for both increased costs and
maintenance of bargained for yield. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller, the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (c) For avoidance of doubt any increase in cost and/or reduction in yield caused by regulatory capital allocation adjustments due to Financial Accounting
Standards Board’s Interpretation 46 (or any future statement or interpretation issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any successor thereto) (collectively, the “FIN 46 and Subsequent Statements and
Interpretations”) shall be covered by this Section 1.7. 
 (d) If such increased costs affect the related Affected
Person’s portfolio of financing transactions, such Affected Person shall use reasonable averaging and attribution methods to allocate such increased costs to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (e) The Administrator and the Purchaser Agents will make reasonable efforts to cause the interest of any Affected Party (other than PNC (in its capacity
as Administrator, a Purchaser Agent, a Purchaser, a Program Support Provider or otherwise), Market Street or any of their Affiliates) that makes a claim under this Section 1.7 to be transferred to a party that is not subject to increased
costs under this Section 1.7; provided that neither PNC nor any of its Affiliates shall be required hereunder to itself accept such transferred interest. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any language in this Section 1.7 to the contrary, nothing in this Section 1.7 shall be construed as requiring the Seller to make any payments attributable to or in respect
of any net income, gross receipts, franchise or similar taxes imposed upon any Affected Person or taxes required to be withheld or deducted from any payments to any Affected Person; provided, however, that the Seller shall be obligated to compensate
an Affected Person for any additional taxes attributable directly to any increase in capital required or expected to be maintained as a result of an event described in any of clauses (i) through (iii) in subsection (a), and provided
further that any increase in payments pursuant to this Section 1.7 shall be taken into account in determining any obligation of the Seller under Sections 1.8 and 3.1. 
 Section 1.8 Requirements of Law; Funding Losses. 
 (a) If any Affected Person reasonably determines that the existence of or compliance with: (i) any law or regulation or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case adopted,
issued or occurring after the date hereof, or (ii) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or occurring after the date of this Agreement:

 (A) does or shall subject such Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any increase in the
Purchased Interest or in the amount of Capital relating thereto, or does or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Person on account of Collections, Discount or any other amounts payable hereunder (excluding (1) taxes
imposed on the overall or branch pre-tax net income or gross receipts of such Affected Person, (2) backup withholding or other advance payments of the taxes described in (1), and (3) franchise taxes imposed on such Affected Person),

  

 10 








 (B) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or
similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person that are
not otherwise included in the determination of the Euro-Rate or the Base Rate hereunder, or 
 (C) does or shall impose on such Affected
Person any other material condition, and the result of any of the foregoing is: (1) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of acting as Administrator, or of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided
percentage ownership interests with regard to, or issuing any Letter of Credit in respect of, the Purchased Interest (or interests therein) or any Portion of Capital, or (2) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or
indirectly), then, in any such case, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents), and subject to Section 5.3(f) hereof, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person additional
amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. All such amounts shall be payable as incurred. A certificate from such Affected Person to the Seller, the Administrator and the Purchaser
Agents certifying, in reasonably specific detail, the basis for, calculation of, and amount of such additional costs or reduced amount receivable shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b) The Seller shall compensate each Affected Person, upon written request by such Person for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any
interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed by it to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital hereunder at an interest rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and any loss sustained by such Person in connection with the
re-employment of such funds), which such Affected Person may sustain with respect to funding or maintaining such Portion of Capital at the Euro-Rate if, for any reason, funding or maintaining such Portion of Capital at an interest rate determined by
reference to the Euro-Rate does not occur on a date specified therefor; provided, however, that no Affected Person shall be required to disclose any confidential or tax planning information in any such certificate. 
  

 11 








 Section 1.9 Inability to Determine Euro-Rate. 
 (a) If the Administrator determines before the first day of any Settlement Period (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of
circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, (i) deposits in dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Settlement Period) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Settlement Period,
(ii) adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate for such Settlement Period or (iii) the Euro Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to any Purchaser (as determined by such Purchaser) of maintaining any Portion of Capital
during such Settlement Period, then the Administrator shall give notice thereof to the Seller. Thereafter, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) no Portion of
Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (ii) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall, on the last
day of the then current Settlement Period, be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate. 
 (b) If, on or
before the first day of any Settlement Period, the Administrator shall have been notified by any Affected Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any enactment, promulgation or
adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by such Affected Person with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Affected Person
to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate, the Administrator shall notify the Seller thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving
rise to such determination no longer apply, (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (ii) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate
Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate either (A) on the last day of the then current Settlement Period if such Affected Person may lawfully continue to
maintain such Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate to such day, or (B) immediately, if such Affected Person may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate
determined by reference to the Euro-Rate to such day. 
 Section 1.10 [Reserved]. 
 Section 1.11 Letters of Credit. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the LC Bank shall issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit (“Letters of Credit”) on behalf of Seller (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, any Originator in
favor of such beneficiaries as such Originator may elect); provided, however, that the LC Bank will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that the issuance of such Letters of Credit would then cause
either (a) the sum of (i) the aggregate Capital plus (ii) the LC Participation Amount to exceed the Purchase Limit or (b) the Capital for Purchasers in the LC Bank’s Purchaser Group to exceed the 

  

 12 








 
Group Commitment for such Purchaser Group. The LC Participation Amount shall not exceed in the aggregate, at any time, the aggregate of the Commitments of
the LC Bank and the LC Participants. All amounts drawn upon Letters of Credit shall accrue Discount. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not accrue Discount. 
 Section 1.12 Issuance of Letters of Credit. 
 (a) The Seller may request that the LC Bank, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice submitted on or before 11:00 a.m., New York time, issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrator, the LC Bank’s form
of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”), substantially in the form of Annex E attached hereto completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrator and the LC Bank; and, such other certificates,
documents and other papers and information as the Administrator may reasonably request. The Seller also has the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any Letter of Credit Application and the disposition of documents, and to
agree with the Administrator upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit. 
 (b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among
other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other written demands for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have
an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance provided that any such Letter of Credit may automatically renew if such Letter of Credit has an automatic renewal feature set forth in the
terms thereof, unless the LC Bank or such LC Bank’s Affiliates give notice of termination of such Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision),
International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank (“UCP 500”) or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number
590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank (the “ISP98 Rules”), as determined by the LC Bank. 
 (c)
The Administrator shall promptly notify the LC Bank, at its address for notices hereunder, and each LC Participant of the request by the Seller for a Letter of Credit hereunder, and shall provide the LC Bank with the Letter of Credit Application
delivered to the Administrator by the Seller pursuant to paragraph (a), above, by the close of business on the day received or if received on a day that is not a Business Day or on any Business Day after 11:00 a.m., New York time, on such day, on
the next Business Day. 
 Section 1.13 Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit. 
 The Seller shall authorize and direct the LC Bank to name the Seller or any Originator as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each
Letter of Credit. 
 Section 1.14 Disbursements, Reimbursement. 
 (a) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each LC Participant shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
purchase from the LC Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

  

 13 








 (b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee
thereof, the LC Bank will promptly notify the Administrator and the Seller of such request. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Seller shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the LC Bank shall sometimes be referred to as a
“Reimbursement Obligation”) the LC Bank prior to 12:00 p.m., New York time, on each date that an amount is paid by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid
by the LC Bank. In the event the Seller fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the Drawing Date, the LC Bank will promptly notify each LC Participant thereof, and
the Seller shall be deemed to have requested that a Funded Purchase be made by Purchasers in the Purchaser Group for the LC Bank and the LC Participants to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the
unutilized portion of Group Commitment for such Purchaser Group. 
 (c) Each LC Participant shall, upon any notice pursuant to subclause
(b) above, make available to the LC Bank an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the LC Participants shall each be deemed to have made a Funded Purchase in that amount. If any
LC Participant so notified fails to make available to the LC Bank the amount of such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., New York time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such LC
Participant’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such LC Participant makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date
and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the Discount rate applicable to Capital on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The LC Bank will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the LC Bank to
give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any LC Participant to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such LC Participant from its obligation under this subclause (c), provided that such LC Participant
shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in subclauses (i) and (ii) above until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from the LC Bank or the Administrator of a drawing. Each LC Participant’s Commitment shall
continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) the LC Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (B) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and
uncancelled or (C) all Persons (other than the Seller) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit. 
 Section 1.15 Repayment of Participation Advances. 
 (a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the LC Bank
for its account of immediately available funds from or for the account of the Seller (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the LC Bank under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any LC Participant has made a participation advance to
the LC Bank, or (ii) in payment of Discount on the Funded Purchases made or deemed to have been made in connection with any such draw, the LC Bank will pay to each LC Participant, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each
such LC 

  

 14 








 
Participant in respect of such Letter of Credit), in the same funds as those received by the LC Bank; it being understood, that the LC Bank shall retain a
ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any LC Participant. 
 (b) If
the LC Bank is required at any time to return to the Seller, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Seller to the LC Bank pursuant to this Agreement in
reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each LC Participant shall, on demand of the LC Bank, forthwith return to the LC Bank the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any amounts so returned by the LC Bank
plus interest at the Federal Funds Rate. 
 Section 1.16 Documentation. 
 The Seller agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by the LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices
relating to letters of credit, though the LC Bank’s interpretation of such regulations and practices may be different from the Seller’s own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this
Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Bank, the LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in
following the Seller’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto. 
 Section 1.17 Determination to Honor Drawing Request. 
 In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any
Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the LC Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the
requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth. 
 Section 1.18 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. 
 Each LC Participant’s
obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make participation advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of the Seller to reimburse the LC Bank upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Article I under all circumstances, including the following circumstances: 
 (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such LC Participant may have against the LC Bank, the Administrator, any
Purchaser, the Seller or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; 
 (ii) the failure of the Seller or any other Person to comply with the
conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a purchase, reinvestments, requests for Letters of Credit or otherwise, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of participation advances hereunder;

  

 15 








 (iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; 
 (iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by the Seller, the LC Bank or any LC Participant against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit,
or the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Seller, the LC Bank or any LC Participant may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds
thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the LC Bank, any LC Participant, any Purchaser or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction
(including any underlying transaction between the Seller or any Subsidiaries of the Seller or any Affiliates of the Seller and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); 
 (v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of, or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of, any draft, demand,
instrument, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit, or any such draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, defective or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, even if the Administrator or the LC Bank has been notified thereof; 
 (vi) payment by the
LC Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the LC
Bank; 
 (vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in
any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit; 
 (viii) any failure by the LC Bank or any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Seller, unless the
LC Bank has received written notice from the Seller of such failure within three Business Days after the LC Bank shall have furnished the Seller a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to
receipt of such notice; 
 (ix) any Material Adverse Effect on the Seller, any Originator or any Affiliates thereof; 
 (x) any breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by any party thereto; 
 (xi) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Seller, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof; 
 (xii) the fact that a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing; 
  

 16 








 (xiii) the fact that this Agreement or the obligations of Seller or Servicer hereunder shall have been
terminated; and 
 (xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
 Section 1.19 Indemnity. 
 In addition
to other amounts payable hereunder, the Seller hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrator, the LC Bank, each LC Participant and any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates that have issued a Letter of Credit from and
against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including Attorney Costs) which the Administrator, the LC Bank, any LC Participant or any of their respective
Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, except to the extent resulting from (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined
by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the LC Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or
wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”). 
 Section 1.20 Liability for Acts and Omissions. 
 As between the Seller, on the one hand, and the
Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants and the other Purchasers, on the other, the Seller assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the respective foregoing, none of the Administrator, the LC Bank or any other Purchaser shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document
submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the LC Bank shall
have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in
part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions
required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Seller against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Seller and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or
any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical
terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter
of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrator, the LC Bank, any LC Participant and any Conduit Purchaser, 

  

 17 








 
including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Bank’s rights or powers
hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the LC Bank from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with actions
or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Administrator, the LC Bank, any LC Participant, any Conduit Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, be liable to the Seller or any other
Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a
Letter of Credit. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator, the LC Bank, any LC Participant and any Conduit
Purchaser and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation
if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a
court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the LC Bank or its
Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered
separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored
under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrator, the LC Bank, any LC Participant, any Conduit Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, in any way
related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and may honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of
Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit. 
 In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the LC Bank under or in
connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put the LC Bank under any resulting liability to the Seller, any LC Participant or any other Person.

 ARTICLE IV. 
 ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS 
 Section 4.1 Appointment of the Servicer. 
 (a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer
in accordance with this Section. Until and unless the Administrator gives notice to CONSOL Energy upon the occurrence of a Termination Event (in accordance with this Section) of the designation of a new Servicer, CONSOL Energy is hereby designated
as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed CONSOL Energy
or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and shall (i) covenant, for the benefit of the Seller and
its affiliates, that it (and any Person other than the Seller or any of its affiliates) with whom it contracts for the performance of all or a portion of its duties as Servicer hereunder) shall comply with all tax withholding and information
reporting obligations imposed in connection with any payments that it (or such Person) makes or controls the making of in connection with its activities as the Servicer and (ii) agree to indemnify Seller and its affiliates for any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever arising as a result of a breach of such covenant; provided, however, that no obligation to indemnify shall arise
hereunder for any failure to comply that is directly or indirectly attributable to any act or omission by the Seller or any affiliate thereof. 
 (b) Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a), CONSOL Energy agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrator determines will facilitate the
transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and CONSOL Energy shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include reasonable access to and transfer of related records and use by the new
Servicer of all licenses or the obtaining of new licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security. 
 (c) CONSOL Energy acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrator and the Conduit Purchasers have relied on CONSOL Energy’s agreement to act as Servicer
hereunder. Accordingly, CONSOL Energy agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer. 
 (d) The Servicer may and hereby does
delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to each of the Originators (each a “Sub-Servicer” and collectively, the “Sub-Servicers”); provided, that, in such delegation: (i) each such Sub-Servicer
hereby agrees in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller,
the Administrator and the Conduit Purchasers shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrator may terminate such agreement upon
the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall 

  

 22 








 
provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer); provided, however, that if any such delegation is to any Person other than any
Originator, the Administrator shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation. 
 Section 4.2 Duties of the Servicer.

 (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to administer and collect each
Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer shall set aside, for
the accounts of the Seller and each Purchaser, the amount of the Collections to which each is entitled in accordance with Article I. The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any
Pool Receivable and extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Defaulted Receivable as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections or reflect adjustments required under applicable laws, rules or regulations
or the applicable contract thereof; provided, however, that: for the purposes of this Agreement, (i) such extension shall not change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the invoice date
related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Purchaser or the Administrator under this
Agreement and (iii) if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and CONSOL Energy or an Affiliate thereof is serving as the Servicer, CONSOL Energy or such Affiliate may make such extension or adjustment only upon the prior approval
of the Administrator. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Seller and the Administrator (individually and for the benefit of Purchasers), in accordance with their respective interests, all
records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, following the occurrence and continuation of a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination
Event under Exhibit V, clause (j) hereof, the Administrator may direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is CONSOL Energy or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or
to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security. 
 (b) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected
funds, turn over to the Seller or other applicable person, the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if CONSOL Energy or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than CONSOL Energy or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all records in its possession
that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable. 
 (c) The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the later of: (i) the Facility Termination Date, (ii) the date on which no
Capital, or Discount in respect of the Purchased Interest shall be outstanding, (iii) the date on which an amount equal to 100% of the LC Participation Amount has been deposited in the LC Collateral Account or the Letters of Credit have expired
and (iv) the date on which all amounts required to be paid to the Purchasers, 

  

 23 








 
the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder shall have been paid in full. After such termination, if CONSOL Energy or an
Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the
Servicer, in connection with this Agreement. 
 Section 4.3 Lock-Box Arrangements. 
 Prior to the initial purchase hereunder, the Seller shall enter into Lock-Box Agreements with all of the Lock-Box Banks and deliver original counterparts
thereof to the Administrator. Upon the occurrence of and continuance of a Termination Event, the Administrator may at any time thereafter give notice to each Lock-Box Bank that the Administrator is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements
to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Box Accounts transferred to the Administrator and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the
proceeds that are sent to the respective Lock-Box Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrator’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Lock-Box Account, and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the
applicable Lock-Box Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrator at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall have exclusive control of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool
Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrator may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent
immediately to the Administrator. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrator takes control of any Lock-Box Account, the Administrator shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due
to the Administrator, the Purchasers or any other Person hereunder, and the Administrator shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 4.2(b) and Article I (in each case as if such funds were
held by the Servicer thereunder). 
 Section 4.4 Enforcement Rights. 
 (a) At any time following the occurrence of and continuance of a Termination Event: 
 (i) the Administrator may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrator or
its designee, 
 (ii) the Administrator may instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Purchasers’ interest in Pool
Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrator or its designee, and the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as
the case may be; provided, that if the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor, the Administrator (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors,

 (iii) the Administrator may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records
necessary or desirable to collect the Pool 

  

 24 








 
Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to the extent permissible under applicable agreements to a successor Servicer the use of all
software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrator or its designee at a place selected by the Administrator, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other
instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrator and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of
transfer, to the Administrator or its designee, and 
 (iv) the Administrator may collect any amounts due from any Originator under the Sale
Agreement and/or CONSOL Energy under the CONSOL Guaranty. 
 (b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator, and irrevocably appoints the
Administrator as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of
the Seller necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrator, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Assets, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments
representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) shall be exercised by
attorney-in-fact prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, or (ii) shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability provided such action is not grossly negligent or willful misconduct if any action taken by it shall prove to be
inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever (except for liability arising from the Administrator’s gross negligence and or willful misconduct). 
 Section 4.5 Responsibilities of the Seller. 
 (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not
been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrator or any Purchaser of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in
connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. Neither the Administrator nor any Purchaser shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall either of them be obligated to perform any of the
obligations of the Seller, CONSOL Energy or any Originator thereunder. 
 (b) CONSOL Energy hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it
shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, CONSOL Energy shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of
the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that CONSOL Energy conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer. 
  

 25 








 Section 4.6 Servicing Fee. 
 (a) Subject to clause (b), the Servicer shall be paid a fee equal to .50% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the
average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables (computed as the average of the Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables at the beginning and the ending of each Settlement Period (or the beginning and ending of the other applicable
period of measurement if the Servicing Fee is payable within a Settlement Period). The Purchasers’ Share of such fee shall be paid through the distributions contemplated by Section 1.4(d), and the Seller’s Share of such fee
shall be paid by the Seller on each Monthly Settlement Date. 
 (b) If the Servicer ceases to be CONSOL Energy or an Affiliate thereof, the
servicing fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a), and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer.

 (a) Each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or other
writing or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Seller), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Administrator. Each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the
Majority Purchaser Agents (or in the case of any Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group that have a majority of the Group Commitment of such Purchaser Group), and assurance of its indemnification, as it deems appropriate.

 (b) The Administrator shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance
with a request of the Majority Purchaser Agents (or in the case of any Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group that have a majority of the Group Commitment of such Purchaser Group) and such request and any action taken or failure
to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Purchasers, Purchaser Agents and the Administrator. 
 (c) The Purchasers within each
Purchaser Group with a majority of the Group Commitment of such Purchaser Group shall be entitled to request or direct the related Purchaser Agent to take action, or refrain from taking action, under this Agreement on behalf of such Purchasers. Such
Purchaser Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of such majority Purchasers, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchasers. 
 (d) Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Purchaser Agent or by
any Purchaser on whose behalf such Purchaser Agent is purportedly acting, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Purchaser Agent is acting for the benefit of each of the Purchasers in respect of which such Purchaser Agent is
identified as being the “Purchaser Agent” in the definition of “Purchaser Agent” hereto, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person, and (ii) each action taken by such Purchaser
Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Purchasers on whose behalf it is purportedly acting. Each Purchaser Agent and its Purchaser(s) shall agree amongst themselves as to the circumstances and
procedures for removal, resignation and replacement of such Purchaser Agent. 
 Section 5.5 Notice of Termination Events. 

Neither any Purchaser Agent nor the Administrator shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Termination Event or Unmatured
Termination Event unless the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents have received notice from any Purchaser, the Servicer or the Seller stating that a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred hereunder and describing such
Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event. In the event that the Administrator receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to 

  

 28 








 
each Purchaser Agent and Seller, whereupon each such Purchaser Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its Purchasers. In the event that a Purchaser or
Purchaser Agent receives such a notice (other than from the Administrator), it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrator and Seller. The Administrator shall take such action concerning a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event
as may be directed by the Majority Purchaser Agents (unless such action otherwise requires the consent of all Purchasers, the LC Bank and/or the Required LC Participants), but until the Administrator receives such directions, the Administrator may
(but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Administrator deems advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers and Purchaser Agents. 
 Section 5.6 Non-Reliance on Administrator. 
 Each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations
or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrator, or any Purchaser Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Seller, Servicer or any Originator, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Administrator or such Purchaser Agent, as applicable. Each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent represents and warrants to the Administrator, the other Purchasers and Purchaser Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrator
or any other Purchaser or Purchaser Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects,
financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller, Servicer or the Originators, and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items
specifically required to be delivered hereunder, the Administrator shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent with any information concerning the Seller, Servicer or the Originators or any of their
Affiliates that comes into the possession of the Administrator or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. 
 Section 5.7 Administrator, Purchasers, Purchaser Agents and Affiliates. 
 Each of the Purchasers,
Purchaser Agents and the Administrator and their respective Affiliates may extend credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, debt, equity or other business with the Seller, Servicer or any Originator or any
of their Affiliates and PNC may exercise or refrain from exercising its rights and powers as if it were not the Administrator. With respect to the acquisition of the Pool Assets pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Purchaser Agents and the
Administrator, to the extent they are also a Purchaser, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Purchaser Agent or the Administrator, as applicable, and the
terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include the Purchaser Agent and the Administrator in their individual capacities.

 Section 5.8 Indemnification. 
 Each LC Participant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator (but solely in its capacity as Administrator) and the LC Bank and its
officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of the Administrator and the LC Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller, or Servicer and without limiting the obligation of the Seller or Servicer to do so), ratably according to
its Pro Rata Share from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened
proceeding, whether or not the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person shall be designated a party, thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person as a result of, or
related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith (but excluding any such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrator’s or the LC Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a final
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.8 to the contrary, the Administrator, each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute against,
or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a
day after the latest maturing Note issued by such Conduit Purchaser is paid in full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each LC Participant agrees to reimburse the Administrator and the LC Bank, ratably according to its Pro Rata
Shares, promptly upon demand, for any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrator or the LC Bank in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement. 
 Section 5.9 Successor Administrator. 
 The Administrator may, upon at least five (5) Business Days notice to the Seller
and each Purchaser, resign as Administrator. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Administrator is appointed by the Majority Purchaser Agents and the LC Bank and has accepted such appointment. Upon such acceptance of its
appointment as Administrator hereunder by a successor Administrator, such successor Administrator shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrator, and the retiring Administrator shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any retiring Administrator’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Article V shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrator. 
 Section 5.10 Certain Tax Matters. 
 The Administrator (i) covenants, for the benefit of Seller and its affiliates, that it (and any Person other than the Seller or any affiliate thereof
with whom it contracts for the performance of 

  

 30 








 
all or a portion of its duties as Servicer hereunder) shall comply with all tax withholding and information reporting obligations imposed in connection with
any payments that it (or such Person) makes or controls the making of in connection with its activities as Administrator and (ii) agrees to indemnify Seller and its affiliates for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever arising as a result of a breach of such covenant; provided, however, that no obligation to indemnify shall arise hereunder for any failure that is directly
or indirectly attributable to any act or omission by the Seller or any affiliate thereof. 
 ARTICLE VI. 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 6.1
Amendments, Etc. 
 No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or consent to any
departure by the Seller or the Servicer therefrom, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrator, the LC Bank and the Majority LC Participants and each Conduit Purchaser, and, in the case of any amendment, by the other parties
thereto; and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such material amendment shall be effective until both Moody’s and
Standard & Poor’s have notified the respective Purchaser Agent in writing that such action will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any Notes to the extent required by each Conduit Purchaser’s commercial paper
program. No failure on the part of any Purchaser or the Administrator to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. 
 Section 6.2 Notices, Etc. 
 All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which shall include facsimile communication) and be
sent or delivered to each party hereto at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof (or in any Assumption Agreement pursuant to which it became a party hereto) or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in
a written notice to the other parties hereto. Notices and communications by facsimile shall be effective when sent (and shall be followed by hard copy sent by first class mail), and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective
when received. 
 Section 6.3 Assignability. 
 (a) Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; all covenants, promises and
agreements by or on behalf of any parties hereto that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Seller nor
the Servicer may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of the Administrator, the LC Bank and 

  

 31 








 
the Required LC Participants. Each of the LC Participants, with the prior written consent of the Administrator, the LC Bank, the Servicer and, unless a
Termination Event exists, the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), may assign any of its interests, rights and obligations hereunder to an Eligible Assignee; provided, that (i) the Commitment amount to
be assigned by any such LC Participant hereunder shall not be less than $5,000,000 and (ii) prior to the effective date of any such assignment, the assignee and assignor shall have executed and delivered to the Administrator and the LC Bank an
assignment and acceptance agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator, the LC Bank and, unless a Termination Event exists, the Seller. Upon the effectiveness of any such permitted assignment, (i) the assignee
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interests assigned to it, be entitled to the interests, rights and obligations of an LC Participant under this Agreement and (ii) the assigning LC Participant shall, to the extent of the interest assigned,
be released from any further obligations under this Agreement. 
 (b) Participations. Notwithstanding anything contained in paragraph
(a) of this Section 6.3, each of the LC Bank and each LC Participant may sell participations in all or any part of any Funded Purchase or Funded Purchases made by such LC Participant to another bank or other entity (the
“Participant”) so long as (i) no such grant of a participation shall, without the consent of the Seller, require the Seller to file a registration statement with the SEC and (ii) no holder of any such participation shall be
entitled to require such LC Participant to take or omit to take any action hereunder except that such LC Participant may agree with such participant that, without such Participant’s consent, such LC Participant will not consent to an amendment,
modification or waiver referred to in Section 6.1. Any such Participant shall not have any rights hereunder or under the Transaction Documents except that such Participant shall have rights under Sections 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 hereunder as if it
were an LC Participant; provided that no such Participant shall be entitled to receive any payment pursuant to such sections which is greater in amount than the payment which the Originator LC Participant would have otherwise been entitled to
receive in respect of the participation interest so sold. 
 (c) This Agreement and any Conduit Purchaser’s rights and obligations
herein (including ownership of the Purchased Interest or an interest therein) shall be assignable, in whole or in part, by any Conduit Purchaser and its successors and assigns with the prior written consent of the Administrator and the Seller;
provided, however, that such consent by the Seller and the Administrator shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further, that no such consent by the Seller shall be required if the assignment is made to PNC, any
Affiliate of PNC (other than a director or officer of PNC), any Purchaser or other Program Support Provider or any Person that is: (i) in the business of issuing Notes and (ii) administered by PNC or any Affiliate of PNC. Each assignor
may, in connection with the assignment, disclose to the applicable assignee (that shall have agreed to be bound by Section 5.6) any information relating to the Servicer, the Seller or the Pool Receivables furnished to such assignor by or
on behalf of the Servicer, the Seller, any Conduit Purchaser or the Administrator. Any Conduit Purchaser shall give prior written notice of any assignment of the such Conduit Purchaser’s rights and obligations (including ownership of the
Purchased Interest to any Person other than a Program Support Provider). 
 (d) Any Conduit Purchaser may at any time grant to one or more
banks or other institutions (each, a “Liquidity Provider”) party to the Liquidity Agreement, or to any other 

  

 32 








 
Program Support Provider, participating interests in the Purchased Interest. In the event of any such grant by a Conduit Purchaser of a participating
interest to a Liquidity Provider or other Program Support Provider, such Conduit Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Seller agrees that each Liquidity Provider or other Program Support Provider
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.7 and 1.8. 
 (e) This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
Administrator, the LC Bank, each LC Participant and the Purchaser Agents hereunder shall be assignable, in whole or in part, by the Administrator, the LC Bank, each LC Participant and the Purchaser Agents and their respective successors and assigns;
provided, that unless: (i) such assignment is to an Affiliate of PNC or such Purchaser Agent, (ii) it becomes unlawful for PNC to serve as the Administrator or (iii) a Termination Event exists, the Seller has consented to such
assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (f) Except as provided in Section 4.1(d), none of the Seller,
CONSOL Energy or the Servicer may assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrator. 
 (g) Without limiting any other rights that may be available under applicable law, the rights of any Purchaser may be enforced through it or by its Purchaser Agent. 
 (h) Each of (A) the Purchasers and Purchaser Agents, (B) its successors and assigns, (C) any Program Support Provider, (D) any
assignee under Section 6.3(a) and (E) any recipient of a participating interest under Section 6.3(b) that, in each case, is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the United
States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) for United States federal tax purposes shall, if any amount derived by such person, directly or indirectly, in connection with this Agreement is subject to an exemption
from withholding or deduction for or on account of United States federal income taxes, deliver to the Seller, with a copy to the Servicer, a United Slates Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or successor form) properly completed with all
required attachments and certifying in each case that the party delivering, such form is entitled to the relevant exemption from withholding or deduction. Each Purchaser, if required to deliver such form, shall deliver such form on the Closing Date
or on the date upon which such Purchaser becomes party to this Agreement. A party described in any of the foregoing clauses (B) through (E) shall deliver such form concurrently with such party becoming described in any of
such clauses. Each party obligated to deliver a form under the first sentence of this Section 6.3(h) shall, to the extent permitted by law, further, deliver to the Seller, with a copy to the Servicer, a United States Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or successor form) on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after, the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by such party to the Seller,
properly completed and certifying in each case that the party delivering such form is entitled, to the relevant exemption from withholding or deduction. Each Person described in any of clauses (A) through (E) that is a United
States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Seller, with a copy to the Servicer, a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and shall update such form as required to ensure that the
Seller and the Servicer have a valid Form W-9 from such Person at all times that such Person is described in any of clauses (A) through (E). The Seller shall not be required to pay to or on behalf of any 

  

 33 








 
Indemnified Party or Affected Person, any additional amount or indemnity payment under Sections 1.8 or 3.1 hereof in respect of any taxes required to be
deducted or withheld from any payment to such party or an affiliate of such party or to any person in the chain of payment between such party or an affiliate of such party except to the extent that both (i) such requirement to deduct or
withhold would have applied had such party, its affiliates, each direct or indirect holder of an interest in such party and its affiliates or in such party’s rights to payments under the Transaction Documents and each person in the chain of
payment between the Obligor and such party complied with all requirements applicable to it for claiming an exemption from such deduction or withholding, including, without limitation, the provision of U.S. tax forms, and (ii) subject to the
second sentence of Section 3.1 hereof, such requirement to deduct or withhold would not have applied but for a change in treaty, law or regulation (a “Change in Law”) adopted or issued after the date on which the
Indemnified Party or Affected Person became an Indemnified Party or Affected Person; provided that (x) where a requirement to deduct or withhold on account of taxes is imposed as a result of a characteristic of a direct or indirect
interestholder in an Indemnified Party or Affected Person or of a person holding a direct or indirect interest in such Indemnified Party’s or Affected Person’s rights to payments under any of the Transaction Documents, such requirement
will not be treated as described in clause (ii) above to the extent that such direct or indirect interestholder became, or increased its interest as, a direct or indirect interestholder in the relevant Indemnified Party, Affected Person or
rights to payments after the date of the Change in Law and (y) where an Indemnified Party or Affected Person acquires additional direct or indirect rights to payments under the Transaction Documents after the date of the relevant Change in Law,
requirements to deduct or withhold in respect of such increased interest shall not be treated as described in clause (ii) above. 
 Section 6.4 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. 
 (a) In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under
Section 3.1, the Seller agrees to pay on demand (which demand shall be accompanied by documentation thereof in reasonable detail) all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and
administration (including periodic internal audits of Pool Receivables by the Administrator, or by third parties at the direction of the Administrator, provided that the Seller shall not pay for more than one audit per year unless a Termination
Event has occurred and is continuing) of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder (and all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with any amendment, waiver or modification
of any thereof), including: (i) Attorney Costs for the Administrator, the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates and agents with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrator, the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates
and agents as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and (ii) all reasonable costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs), if any, of the Administrator, the Purchasers and their respective
Affiliates and agents in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. 
 (b) In addition, the
Seller shall pay on demand any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other documents or agreements to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to save each
Indemnified Party harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees. 
  

 34 








 Section 6.5 No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments. 
 (a) Each of the Seller, CONSOL Energy, the Servicer, the Administrator, the LC Bank, each LC Participant and each assignee of the Purchased Interest or
any interest therein, and each Person that enters into a commitment to purchase the Purchased Interest or interests therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit
Purchaser or Purchaser Agent any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the latest maturing Note issued
by all Conduit Purchasers is paid in full. The provision of this Section 6.5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Purchaser shall pay or be obligated to pay any amount payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) such
Conduit Purchaser has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which are not required to repay the Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Purchaser could issue Notes to
refinance all of its outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Purchaser’s securitization program or (y) all of its Notes are paid in full. Any
amount which such Conduit Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Conduit Purchaser for any such
insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Purchaser satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 6.6 Confidentiality. 
 Each of
the Seller and the Servicer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and all drafts thereof) in communications with third parties and otherwise; provided, that this Agreement may be
disclosed to: (a) third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator, (b) the Seller’s legal counsel and auditors
if they agree to hold it confidential, and (c) as otherwise required by applicable law. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, each of the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of
non-public information regarding CONSOL Energy and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates; provided, that such information may be disclosed to: (i) third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of
confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to CONSOL Energy, (ii) legal counsel and auditors of any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or the Administrator if they agree to hold it confidential, (iii) the rating agencies
rating the Notes, (iv) any Program Support Provider or potential Program Support Provider (if they agree to hold it confidential), (v) any placement agent placing the Notes and (vi) any regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over
PNC, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, any Program Support Provider or any Purchaser. 
  

 35 








 Section 6.7 GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. 
 (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSE
SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF A SECURITY INTEREST OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS
OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 (b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN
THE COURTS OF NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, THAT IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS,
WHICH SERVICE MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY NEW YORK LAW. 
 Section 6.8 Execution in Counterparts. 
 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when
taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 Section 6.9 Survival of Termination. 
 The provisions of Sections 1.7, 1.8, 3.1, 3.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.10 and 6.13
shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Neither the Servicer nor any other Person may waive a breach of Exhibit III, Section 1(g) or 1(j) or Exhibit IV, Section 1(d) or 2(i) of this
Agreement for so long as the Notes are outstanding. 
 Section 6.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 
 EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. 

  

 36 








 
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREES THAT ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION
AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING THAT SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR
MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. 
 Section 6.11 Entire Agreement. 
 This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto, and supersede all prior or
contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, except for any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by the Conduit Purchasers of (or any
indemnification for) any fees, costs or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of the Seller, the Servicer and the Administrator. 
 Section 6.12 Headings.

Annex hereto are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof or thereof. 
 Section 6.13
Purchasers’ and Purchaser Agents’ Liabilities.

Documents are solely the corporate obligations of such Purchaser or Purchaser Agent. No recourse shall be had for any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon any Transaction Document against any stockholder, employee, officer, director or
incorporator of any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent; provided, however, that this Section shall not relieve any such Person of any liability it might otherwise have for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 1. Representations and Warranties of the Seller. The Seller
represents and warrants as follows: 
 (a) The Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Delaware, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in every jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified would not
have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party, including its use of the proceeds of purchases and reinvestments: (i) are within its organizational powers; (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action; (iii) do not
contravene or result in a default under or conflict with: (A) its certificate of incorporation, formation, limited liability company agreement or any other organizational document of the Seller, (B) any law, rule or regulation applicable
to it, (C) any indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or (D) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or
affecting it or any of its property; and (iv) do not result in or require the creation of any Adverse Claim upon or with respect to any of its properties. The Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly
executed and delivered by the Seller. 
 (c) No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental
Authority or other Person is required for its due execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of its obligations under the Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, other than the Uniform Commercial Code filings
referred to in Exhibit II to the Agreement, all of which shall have been filed on or before the date of the first purchase hereunder. 
 (d) Each of the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party constitutes (assuming due authorization and execution by the other parties thereto) its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against the
Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws from time to time in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general
principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 (e) There is no pending
or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened action or proceeding affecting Seller or any of its properties before any Governmental Authority or arbitrator. 
 (f) No proceeds of any purchase or reinvestment will be used to acquire any equity security of a class that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Receivables, the Lock-Box Accounts (and related lock-boxes) and Related Security, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. Upon each purchase or reinvestment, the Administrator or the Purchasers shall acquire pro rata valid and enforceable perfected
undivided percentage ownership or security interests, to the extent of each Purchaser’s percentage interest of the Purchased Interest, in each Pool Receivable then existing or thereafter arising and in the Related Security, Collections and
other proceeds with respect thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. The Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in favor of the Administrator in the Pool Assets and the Lock-Box Accounts

of the Pool Assets or the Lock-Box Accounts (and related lock-boxes). Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any UCC financing statements against Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Pool Assets, other
than any UCC financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Administrator hereunder or in connection with the Original Agreement or that has been terminated. Seller is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings
against the Seller. With respect to any Pool Receivable that constitutes “tangible chattel paper”, the Servicer is in possession of the original copies of the tangible chattel paper that constitutes or evidences such Pool Receivables, and
the Seller has filed or has caused to be filed within ten (10) days after the date hereof the financing statements described in this section above, each of which will contain a statement that “A purchase of or a grant of a security
interest in any property described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Purchasers.” The Pool Receivables to the extent they are evidenced by “tangible chattel paper” do not have any marks or notations indicating
that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Seller or the Purchasers. 
 (h) Each Information
Package (if prepared by the Seller or one of its Affiliates, or to the extent that information contained therein is supplied by the Seller or an Affiliate), exhibit, financial statement, document, book, record or report furnished or to be furnished

without further consent by the Seller or the Servicer. None of the Lock-Box Accounts (and the related lock-boxes) are in the name of any Person other than the Seller, the Administrator or the Purchasers. The Seller has not consented to any Lock-Box
Bank’s complying with instructions of any person other than the Administrator.

court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority.

Each of the Seller and CONSOL Energy hereby acknowledges that the Purchasers, the Conduit Purchasers and the Administrator are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the
Seller’s identity as a legal entity separate from CONSOL Energy and its Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each of the Seller and CONSOL Energy shall take all steps specifically required by the Agreement or reasonably
required by the Administrator to continue the Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of 

  

 IV-9 








 
CONSOL Energy and any other Person, and is not a division of CONSOL Energy, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Seller and CONSOL Energy shall take such actions as shall be required in order that: 
 (a) The Seller will be a limited purpose corporation whose primary activities are restricted in its certificate of incorporation to: (i) purchasing
or otherwise acquiring from the Originators (or their Affiliates), owning, holding, granting security interests or selling interests in Pool Assets (or other receivables originated by the Originators or their Affiliates, and certain related assets),
(ii) entering into agreements for the selling and servicing of the Receivables Pool (or other receivables pools originated by the Originators or their Affiliates), and (iii) conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or
appropriate to carry out its primary activities; 
 (b) The Seller shall not engage in any business or activity, or incur any indebtedness or
liability, other than as expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents; 
 (c) Not less than one member of the Seller’s Directors
(the “Independent Director”) shall be an individual who is not a direct, indirect or beneficial stockholder, officer, director, employee, affiliate, associate or supplier of CONSOL Energy or any of its Affiliates. The certificate of
incorporation of the Seller shall provide that: (i) the Seller’s Board of Directors shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Seller unless the Independent
Director shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action, and (ii) such provision cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Director; 
 (d) The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for the Seller, CONSOL Energy or any Affiliate thereof; 

(e) Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller will be compensated from the Seller’s funds for services provided to the Seller. The Seller
will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other professionals, and a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for the Receivables Pool, which servicer will be fully compensated for its services
by payment of the Servicing Fee, and a manager, which manager will be fully compensated from the Seller’s funds; 
 (f) The Seller will
contract with the Servicer to perform for the Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool. The Seller will pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee pursuant hereto. The Seller will not incur any material indirect or
overhead expenses for items shared with CONSOL Energy (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the
Servicing Fee or the manager’s fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis
reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered; it being understood that CONSOL Energy shall pay all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including legal,
agency and other fees; 
  

 IV-10 








 (g) The Seller’s operating expenses will not be paid by CONSOL Energy or any other Affiliate
thereof; 
 (h) All of the Seller’s business correspondence and other communications shall be conducted in the Seller’s own name
and on its own separate stationery; 
 (i) The Seller’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of CONSOL Energy and
any other Affiliate thereof; 
 (j) All financial statements of CONSOL Energy or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include
Seller will contain detailed notes clearly stating that: (i) a special purpose corporation exists as a Subsidiary of CONSOL Energy, and (ii) the Originators have sold receivables and other related assets to such special purpose Subsidiary
that, in turn, has sold undivided interests therein to certain financial institutions and other entities; 
 (k) The Seller’s assets
will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of CONSOL Energy or any Affiliate thereof; 
 (l) The Seller will strictly observe organizational formalities in its dealings with CONSOL Energy or any Affiliate thereof, and funds or other assets of the Seller will not be commingled with those of CONSOL Energy or any Affiliate thereof
except as permitted by the Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which CONSOL Energy or any Affiliate thereof has independent access. The Seller
is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss relating to the property of CONSOL Energy or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate of CONSOL Energy. The Seller will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy
that covers the Seller and such Affiliate; 
 (m) The Seller will maintain arm’s-length relationships with CONSOL Energy (and any
Affiliate thereof). Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller will be compensated by the Seller at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Seller. Neither the Seller nor CONSOL Energy will
be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Seller and CONSOL Energy will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with
respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity; 
 (n) CONSOL Energy shall not pay the salaries of Seller’s employees, if any; 
 (o) The Seller does not and will not hold itself responsible for the obligations of any other Person, and shall not guarantee or become liable for the
debts of any other Person; 
 (p) The Seller will conduct its business in its own name and shall hold itself out as a separate entity from
any other Person; 
  

 IV-11 








 (q) The Seller shall maintain a sufficient number of employees and adequate capital in light of its
contemplated business activities; 
 (r) The Seller shall not acquire the obligations or securities of any of its shareholders; and

 (s) The Seller shall not pledge its assets for the benefit of any other Person or make any loans or advances to any other Person, except
pursuant to the Transaction Documents. 
 4. Additional Covenants. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it shall cause to be
delivered to the Administrator on or before May 9, 2007, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator, each of the following: 
 (a) Completed UCC search reports, dated on or shortly before May 9, 2007, listing the financing statements filed in all applicable local jurisdictions that name the Originators or the Seller as debtor, as the
Administrator may request, showing no Adverse Claims on any Pool Assets.
